**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 of SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "SL Green Realty Corp.," the "Company" or "SL Green" mean SL Green Realty Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.; and references to "SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.," the "Operating Partnership" or "SLGOP" mean SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms "we," "our" and "us" mean the Company and all the entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.

The Company is a Maryland corporation which operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, and is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As a general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company owns 92.37% of the outstanding general and limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and owns 9,200,000 Series I Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2026, noncontrolling investors held, in aggregate, a 7.63% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.

The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one entity. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, stockholders' equity of the Company and partners' capital of the Operating Partnership are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are accounted as noncontrolling interests, within mezzanine equity, in the Company's and the Operating Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Combined reports enhance investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Combined reports eliminate duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Combined reports create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consolidated financial statements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the following notes to the consolidated financial statements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Note 11, Noncontrolling Interests on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Note 12, Stockholders' Equity of the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Note 13, Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership.

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in both their capacity as the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, have made the requisite certifications and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

**SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements** 

**March 31, 2026**

**(unaudited)**

**1. Organization and Basis of Presentation**

SL Green Realty Corp., which is referred to as the Company or SL Green, a Maryland corporation, and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., which is referred to as SLGOP or the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, were formed in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities. The Operating Partnership provides services to properties that are wholly-owned by us, certain joint ventures, and third parties. The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operates as a self-administered, self-managed REIT. A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is permitted to minimize the payment of Federal income taxes at the corporate level. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we," "our" and "us" means the Company and all entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.

Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2026, noncontrolling investors held, in the aggregate, a 7.63% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are the primary beneficiary. See Note 11, "Noncontrolling Interests on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements."

On March 31, 2026, we owned the following interests in properties in the New York metropolitan area, primarily in midtown Manhattan. Our investments located outside of Manhattan are referred to as the Suburban properties:

(1)The weighted average leased occupancy for commercial properties represents the total leased square feet divided by the total square footage at acquisition. The weighted average leased occupancy for residential properties represents the total leased units divided by the total available units. Properties under construction are not included in the calculation of weighted average leased occupancy.

(2)As of March 31, 2026, we consolidated a building at 315 West 33rd Street that was comprised of approximately 222,855 square feet (unaudited) of residential space and approximately 270,132 square feet (unaudited) of retail space. For the purpose of this report, we have included this building in the number of residential properties we own. We have included only the residential square footage in total residential square footage, and have included the retail square footage in total retail square footage.

(3)As of March 31, 2026, we owned a building at 7 Dey Street / 185 Broadway that was comprised of approximately 140,382 square feet (unaudited) of residential space and approximately 50,206 square feet (unaudited) of office, which is under redevelopment, and retail space. For the purpose of this report, we have included this building in the number of residential properties we own. We have included only the residential square footage in total residential square footage and have included the balance of the square footage as development square footage. As of March 31, 2026, the residential and retail condominium units were classified as held for sale following the execution of an agreement to sell those units for $220.5 million.

As of March 31, 2026, we also managed three properties owned by third parties encompassing approximately 0.8 million square feet (unaudited).

**Partnership Agreement**

In accordance with the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, or the Operating Partnership Agreement, we allocate all distributions and profits and losses in proportion to the percentage of ownership interests of the respective partners, subject to the priority distributions with respect to preferred units and special provisions that apply to Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Units. As the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership, we are required to take such reasonable efforts, as determined by us in our sole discretion, to cause the Operating Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the payment of sufficient dividends by us to minimize any Federal income or excise tax at the Company level. Under the Operating Partnership Agreement, each limited partner has the right to redeem units of limited partnership interests for cash, or if we so elect, shares of SL Green's common stock on a one-for-one basis.

**Basis of Quarterly Presentation**

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2026 and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

**Reclassification**

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205, *Presentation of Financial Statements*, certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to our current year presentation.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies**

**Principles of Consolidation**

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we have significant influence, but do not control, through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 5, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." and Note 7, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments." All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

We consolidate a variable interest entity ("VIE") in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

**Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties**

We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building (inclusive of tenant improvements) over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 3 years to 40 years. We amortize the amount allocated to the above- and below-market leases over the remaining term of the associated lease, which generally range from 1 year to 15 years, and record it as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income. We amortize the amount allocated to the values associated with in-place leases over the expected term of the associated lease, which generally ranges from 1 year to 15 years. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. Origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease and tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or useful life of the improvement (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). When allocating the purchase price of real estate, we assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. To the extent acquired leases contain fixed rate renewal options that are below-market and determined to be material, we amortize such below-market lease value into rental income over the renewal period.

The Company classifies those leases under which the Company is the lessee at lease commencement as finance or operating leases. Leases qualify as finance leases if (i) the lease transfers ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease grants an option to purchase the asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the asset, (iv) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Leases that do not qualify as finance leases are deemed to be operating leases. At lease commencement the Company records a lease liability which is measured as the present value of the lease payments and a right of use asset which is measured as the amount of the lease liability and any initial direct costs incurred. The Company applies a discount rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. If the rate implicit in the lease is known, the Company uses that rate. If the rate implicit in the lease is not known, the Company uses a discount rate reflective of the Company's collateralized borrowing rate given the term of the lease. To determine the discount rate, the Company employs a third party specialist to develop an analysis based primarily on the observable borrowing rates of the Company, other REITs, and other corporate borrowers with long-term borrowings. On the consolidated statements of operations, operating leases are expensed through operating lease rent while financing leases are expensed through amortization and interest expense. When applicable, the Company combines the consideration for lease and non-lease components in the calculation of the value of the lease obligation and right-of-use asset.

Properties are individually evaluated for impairment quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A consolidated property's value is considered impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted) and terminal value to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property taking into account the appropriate capitalization rate in determining the future terminal value. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property as calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurement* ("ASC 820"). We also evaluate our real estate consolidated properties for impairment when a property has been classified as held for sale. Real estate assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and depreciation expense is no longer recorded.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 we recognized a reduction of rental revenues of ($0.5 million) and ($1.6 million), respectively, for the amortization of aggregate above-market leases in excess of below-market leases resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the applicable properties.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

**Restricted Cash**

Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits held on behalf of our tenants, interest reserves, as well as capital improvement and real estate tax escrows required under certain loan agreements.

**Fair Value Measurements**

See Note 16, "Fair Value Measurements."

**Debt Fund Investments**

Through wholly-owned subsidiaries, we are the general partner and investment manager of SLG Opportunistic Debt Fund LP and SLG Opportunistic Debt Parallel Fund LP (collectively, the "Fund"). The Fund is accounted for under ASC Topic 946, *Financial Services - Investment Companies* ("ASC 946") and its investments are reported on our balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized on the income statement. We consolidate the balances of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements because the Fund is a VIE in which we are considered the primary beneficiary, retaining the fair value basis of accounting. See Note 6, "Debt Fund."

**Investments in Marketable Securities**

At acquisition, we designate a debt security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any debt securities designated as trading. We account for our available-for-sale securities at fair value pursuant to ASC 820, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The cost of marketable securities sold and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings is determined using the specific identification method.

We account for our held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost basis. Credit losses for our held-to-maturity debt securities are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 326, *Financial Instruments — Credit Losses* ("ASC 326"). No allowance for loan losses were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

We account for marketable equity securities at fair value pursuant to ASC 820, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported in net income.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held the following commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") (in thousands):

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (cont.)**

**March 31, 2026**

**(unaudited)**

The cost basis of the available-for-sale CMBS was $24.4 million and $24.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These securities mature at various times through 2045. As of March 31, 2026, six securities were in an unrealized gain position of $1.0 million with a fair market value of $16.5 million, and two securities were in an unrealized loss position of $0.1 million with a fair market value of $8.9 million. As of December 31, 2025, five securities were in an unrealized gain position of $0.3 million with a fair market value of $12.5 million, and four securities were in an unrealized loss position of $1.0 million and fair market value of $11.2 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, we did not dispose of any CMBS.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not receive repayments of any CMBS. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received aggregate net proceeds of $5.3 million from the repayment of CMBS.

We held no equity marketable securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

**Investment in CMBS Securitization Trusts**

We may be contracted as the special servicer for CMBS securitization trusts and, in certain cases, we may also acquire securities in these trusts either directly or indirectly through the Fund. In certain cases, we may acquire the controlling class of the trust and we may have the right to designate, and remove, the special servicer for these trusts. These circumstances may result in our consolidating of the securitization trusts in our financial statements. We evaluate all of our positions and special servicer appointments for consolidation, which are considered to be VIEs to the Company.

As the special servicer, we provide services on defaulted loans within the trusts as permitted by the underlying contractual agreements. We receive a fee in exchange for these services. The rights provided to us as special servicer give us the ability to direct activities that could significantly impact the trust's economic performance, which requires consolidation of the securitization trust unless a third party has the right to unilaterally remove us as special servicer without cause. In such instances where we can be removed as special servicer without cause, we do not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the trust's economic performance and would not consolidate the securitization trust.

For CMBS securitization trusts in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary, we consolidate the securitization trusts on our consolidated balance sheets. The consolidation of such securitization trusts results in a gross presentation of the underlying collateral loans as assets as well as the senior CMBS positions owned by third parties, which are presented as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The assets of the consolidated securitization trust can only be used to satisfy the liabilities of that securitization and are not available to the Company for any other purpose. Additionally, the senior CMBS securitization trust obligations can only be satisfied through repayment of the underlying collateral loans as they do not have any recourse to the Company or our assets.

The Company has not provided any guarantees with respect to the performance or repayment of the senior CMBS obligations.

While consolidation of the securitization trust increases the gross presentation of our consolidated balance sheets, it does not impact the economic exposure or performance of the Company as it is limited to that of the actual investment in the CMBS securitization trust, and not the consolidated senior obligations.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we consolidated the following CMBS securitization trusts (in thousands):

consolidated securitization vehicles" in our consolidated statements of operations include the Company's interest income as well as the interest income associated with CMBS positions owned by third parties, which is offset by the amounts recorded in "Interest expense on senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles" in our consolidated statements of operations. As a result, the net impact is limited to the interest income on the CMBS we own directly and not the gross consolidated interest income and interest expense. For CMBS positions held by the Fund the interest income allocated to noncontrolling interests in the Fund is a component of "Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in other partnerships" in our consolidated statements of operations.

Through the Fund we hold an investment in a CMBS securitization trust that qualifies as a VIE. We evaluated our involvement with the securitization trust and determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the securitization trust is not consolidated in our financial statements. The maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying amount of the Fund's investment in the trust.

**Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures**

We assess our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment based on each joint venture's actual and projected cash flows. Aside from charges noted in Note 5, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures," or Note 16, "Fair Value Measurements," we do not believe that the values of any of our equity investments were impaired at March 31, 2026.

**Deferred Lease Costs**

Deferred lease costs consist of incremental fees and direct costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term.

**Lease Classification**

Lease classification for leases under which the Company is the lessor is evaluated at lease commencement and leases not classified as sales-type leases or direct financing leases are classified as operating leases. Leases qualify as sales-type leases if the contract includes either transfer of ownership clauses, certain purchase options, a lease term representing a major part of the economic life of the asset, or the present value of the lease payments and residual guarantees provided by the lessee exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. Additionally, leasing an asset so specialized that it is not deemed to have any value to the Company at the end of the lease term may also result in classification as a sales-type lease. Leases qualify as direct financing leases when the present value of the lease payments and residual value guarantees provided by the lessee and unrelated third parties exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset and collection of the payments is probable.

**Revenue Recognition**

Rental revenue for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the leased space is available for its intended use by the lessee.

To determine whether the leased space is available for its intended use by the lessee, management evaluates whether we or the tenant are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is when such tenant improvements are substantially complete. In certain instances, when management concludes that we are not the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space.

The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases are included in deferred rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

In addition to base rent, our tenants also generally will pay variable rent which represents their pro rata share of increases in real estate taxes and certain operating expenses for the building over a base year. In some leases, in lieu of paying additional rent based upon increases in certain building operating expenses, the tenant will pay additional rent based upon increases in the wage rate paid to porters over the porters' wage rate in effect during a base year or increases in the consumer price index over the index value in effect during a base year. In addition, many of our leases contain fixed percentage increases over the base rent to cover escalations. Electricity is most often supplied by the landlord either on a sub-metered basis, or rent inclusion basis (i.e., a fixed fee is included in the rent for electricity, which amount may increase based upon increases in electricity rates or increases in electrical usage by the tenant). Base building services other than electricity (such as heat, air conditioning and freight elevator service during business hours, and base building cleaning) are typically provided at no additional cost, with the tenant paying additional rent only for services which exceed base building services or for services which are provided outside

normal business hours. These escalations are based on actual expenses incurred in the prior calendar year. If the expenses in the current year are different from those in the prior year, then during the current year, the escalations will be adjusted to reflect the actual expenses for the current year.

Rental revenue is recognized if collectability is probable. If collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is assessed as not probable, any difference between the rental revenue recognized to date and the lease payments that have been collected is recognized as a current-period adjustment to rental revenue. A subsequent change in the assessment of collectability to probable may result in a current-period adjustment to rental revenue for any difference between the rental revenue that would have been recognized if collectability had always been assessed as probable and the rental revenue recognized to date.

The Company provides its tenants with certain customary services for lease contracts such as common area maintenance and general security. We have elected to combine the non-lease components with the lease components of our operating lease agreements and account for them as a single lease component in accordance with ASC Topic 842, *Leases* ("ASC 842").

We record a gain or loss on sale of real estate assets when we no longer have a controlling financial interest in the entity owning the real estate, a contract exists with a third party and that third party has control of the assets acquired.

Investment income on debt and preferred equity investments is accrued based on the contractual terms of the instruments and when it is deemed collectible. Some debt and preferred equity investments provide for accrual of interest at specified rates, which differ from current payment terms. Interest is recognized on such loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is collectible. If management cannot make this determination, interest income above the current pay rate is recognized only upon actual receipt.

Deferred origination fees, original issue discounts and loan origination costs, if any, are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the terms of the related investments using the effective interest method. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are also deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Discounts or premiums associated with the purchase of loans are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method based on expected cash flows through the expected maturity date of the related investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount, intend to hold it until maturity and expect to recover the full value of the investment, we accrete the discount into income as an adjustment to yield over the term of the investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount with the intention of foreclosing on the collateral, we do not accrete the discount. For debt investments acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted. Anticipated exit fees, the collection of which is expected, are also recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.

We consider a debt and preferred equity investment to be past due when amounts contractually due have not been paid. Debt and preferred equity investments are placed on a non-accrual status at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of interest income becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition is resumed on any debt or preferred equity investment that is on non-accrual status when such debt or preferred equity investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

We may syndicate a portion of the loans that we originate or sell the loans individually. When a transaction meets the criteria for sale accounting, we recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the loan sold. Any related unamortized deferred origination fees, original issue discounts, loan origination costs, discounts or premiums at the time of sale are recognized as an adjustment to the gain or loss on sale, which is included in investment income on the consolidated statement of operations. Any fees received at the time of sale or syndication are recognized as part of investment income.

Asset management fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the asset management agreement.

Revenues from the sale of SUMMIT tickets are recognized upon admission or ticket expirations. Deferred revenue related to unused and unexpired tickets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $4.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and is included in "Deferred revenue" on the consolidated balance sheets.

**Debt and Preferred Equity Investments**

Debt and preferred equity investments are presented at the net amount expected to be collected in accordance with ASC 326. An allowance for loan losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected through the expected maturity date of such investments. The expense for loan loss and other investment reserves is the charge to earnings to adjust the allowance for loan losses to the appropriate level. Amounts are written off from the allowance when we de-recognize the related investment either as a result of a sale of the investment or acquisition of equity interests in the collateral.

The Company evaluates the amount expected to be collected based on current market and economic conditions, historical loss information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company's assumptions are derived from both internal data and external data which may include, among others, governmental economic projections for the New York City Metropolitan area, public data on recent transactions and filings for securitized debt instruments. This information is aggregated by asset class and adjusted for duration. Based on these inputs, loans are evaluated at the individual asset level. In certain instances, we may also use a probability-weighted model that considers the likelihood of multiple outcomes and the amount expected to be collected for each outcome.

The evaluation of the possible credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower/sponsor requires significant judgment, which include both asset level and market assumptions over the relevant time period.

In addition, quarterly, the Company assigns each loan a risk rating. Based on a 3-point scale, loans are rated "1" through "3," from lower risk to higher risk, which ratings are defined as follows: 1 - Low Risk Assets - Low probability of loss, 2 - Watch List Assets - Higher potential for loss, 3 - High Risk Assets - Loss more likely than not. Loans with risk ratings of 2 or above are evaluated to determine whether the expected risk of loss is appropriately captured through the combination of our expectations of current conditions, historical loss information and supportable forecasts described above or whether risk characteristics specific to the loan warrant the use of a probability-weighted model.

Financing investments that are classified as held for sale are carried at the expected amount to be collected or fair market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments as well as discounted cash flow models based on Level 3 data pursuant to ASC 820. As circumstances change, management may conclude not to sell an investment designated as held for sale. In such situations, the investment will be reclassified at its expected amount to be collected.

Other financing receivables that are included in balance sheet line items other than the Debt and preferred equity investments line are also measured at the net amount expected to be collected.

Accrued interest receivable amounts related to these debt and preferred equity investment and other financing receivables are recorded at the net amount expected to be collected within Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivables that are written off are recognized as an expense in loan loss and other investment reserves.

**Income Taxes**

SL Green is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, SL Green generally is not subject to Federal income tax. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, SL Green must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. If SL Green fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, SL Green will be subject to Federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. SL Green may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, Federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The only provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statements of operations relates to the Operating Partnership's consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes.

We have elected, and may elect in the future, to treat certain of our corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. In general, TRSs may perform non-customary services for the tenants of the Company, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The TRSs generate income, resulting in Federal, state and local corporate tax liability for these entities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 we recorded Federal, state, and local tax benefits of $1.2 million for these entities, excluding SUMMIT. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded Federal, state, and local tax expense of $0.5 million, for these entities, excluding SUMMIT.

SUMMIT is held in a TRS and pays Federal, state and local taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded Federal, state, and local tax expense for SUMMIT of $0.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 we recorded Federal, state and local tax benefits for SUMMIT of $0.1 million.

We follow a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Concentrations of Credit Risk**

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments and accounts receivable. We place our cash investments with high quality financial institutions.

We perform initial and ongoing evaluations of the credit quality of our tenants and require most tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant's lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a potential source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost revenue from that tenant and the costs associated with re-tenanting a space. The properties in our real estate portfolio are located in the New York metropolitan area, principally in Manhattan. Our tenants operate in various industries. No tenant in our portfolio accounted for more than 5.0% of our share of annualized cash rent, including our share of joint venture annualized cash rent, for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the following properties contributed more than 5.0% of our annualized cash rent from office properties, including our share of annualized cash rent from joint venture office properties:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Property** | **Three months ended March 31, 2026** |
| One Vanderbilt Avenue | 12.0% |
| 11 Madison Avenue | 8.1% |
| 245 Park Avenue | 7.0% |
| 420 Lexington Avenue | 6.7% |
| 1515 Broadway | 5.8% |

**Accounting Standards Updates**

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements* ("ASU 2025-11"), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, *Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements* ("ASU 2025-09"), which includes amendments intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of a company's risk management activities. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-08, *Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans* ("ASU 2025-08") which amends the guidance in ASC 326 on the accounting for certain purchased loans. The amendments expand the application of the "gross-up" approach for recognizing expected credit losses at acquisition to a broader

category of purchased loans, referred to as purchased seasoned loans. Under this approach, the allowance for credit losses is added to the amortized cost basis of the acquired loans rather than recorded as an immediate provision for credit loss expense. The amendments align the accounting for purchased seasoned loans with the treatment of financial assets purchased with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination. ASU 2025-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-08 on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, *Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity* ("ASU 2025-03"). The objective of this amendment is to improve the requirements for identifying the accounting acquirer in a transaction where the legal acquiree is a VIE and improve comparability between business combinations that involve VIEs and those that do not. The amendment replaces the prior GAAP requirement that the primary beneficiary of the legal acquiree is always the accounting acquirer with an assessment to determine the accounting acquirer in business combinations effected primarily by the exchange of equity interests. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-03 must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. We will apply the guidance in this update to evaluate future business combinations involving a VIE.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses* ("ASU 2024-03"). The objective of this amendment is to help investors better understand a public entity's performance, better assess the entity's prospect for future cash flows, and compare the entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. The amendment will require public business entities to include a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring them to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. For any remaining items within each relevant expense caption, a qualitative disclosure is required for the amounts that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Additionally, the amendment provides guidance on the definition of selling expenses along with a requirement to disclose the total amount of selling expenses. The amendment does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on our consolidated financial statements.

**5. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures**

We have investments in several real estate joint ventures with various third-party partners. As of March 31, 2026, the book value of these investments was $2.5 billion, net of investments with negative book values totaling $223.0 million for which we have an implicit commitment to fund future capital needs.

As of March 31, 2026, we have one unconsolidated joint venture that is a VIE with a carrying value of $22.3 million. Our maximum loss is limited to the amount of our equity investment in this VIE. As of December 31, 2025, there were no unconsolidated joint ventures that were VIEs. See the "Principles of Consolidation" section of Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies."

As we have the ability to exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint ventures listed below, we account for them under the equity method of accounting.

The table below provides general information on each of our joint ventures as of March 31, 2026:

(1)Economic interest represents the Company's interests in the joint venture as of March 31, 2026. Changes in economic interests within the current year are disclosed in the notes below.

(2)Included in the Company's alternative strategy portfolio.

(3)The joint venture owns a long-term leasehold interest in the retail space at 650 Fifth Avenue.

(4)In 2021, the Company admitted an additional partner with the partner's indirect ownership in the joint venture totaling 25.0%. The transaction did not meet sale accounting under ASC Topic 860, *Transfers and Servicing* ("ASC 860") and, as a result, was treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes and is included in "Other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(5)The Company's 25.1% economic interest is net of a 25.0% economic interest held by a third party. The third-party's economic interest is held in a joint venture that we consolidate as a 50.1% ownership interest. The third party's 25.0% economic interest is recognized in "Noncontrolling interests in other partnerships" on our consolidated balance sheet. A separate third-party owns the remaining 49.9% economic interest in the property.

(6)In connection with the sale of the fee ownership in the property, which closed in May 2024, the Company, together with its joint venture partner, originated a $235.4 million preferred equity investment in the property with a mandatory redemption date of December 2026. In July 2025, the Company sold 50.0% of the joint venture entity that originated the preferred equity investment for $104.9 million. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company also acquired the remaining interest in the joint venture for $23.7 million and sold 50.0% of that interest for $10.9 million. In October 2025, the Company sold its interest in the joint venture to the Fund. The sale did not meet sale accounting under ASC 860 and, as a result, the investment in the joint venture is still presented within "Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures" on our consolidated balance sheet. The investment has a balance of $127.1 million, net of unamortized discounts and loan loss reserves, with an aggregate weighted average current yield of 15.13% as of March 31, 2026.

(2)Accretion includes amortization of fees and discounts and paid-in-kind investment income.

(3)In December 2025, a restructuring agreement was executed for one of our loans, and a $3.25 million partial loan repayment was received, followed by an additional $2.50 million partial loan repayment received in January 2026 which extended the loan to March 2026. Pursuant to the restructuring agreement, a final loan repayment of $26.0 million was received in February 2026, at which point the remaining loan balance was converted into a participation interest in the underlying property, which is included in "Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures" on our consolidated balance sheet.

The sale did not meet sale accounting under ASC 860 and, as a result, the investment is still presented within "Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures" on our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 5, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." Also excludes a preferred equity investment in an entity in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The underlying property, 315 West 33rd Street, is consolidated in our financial statements.

(2)Interest rate as of March 31, 2026, taking into account interest rate hedges in effect during the period. Floating rate debt is presented with the stated spread over Term or Alternative SOFR ("S"), unless otherwise specified.

(3)The Fund has access to a subscription line of credit with a maximum commitment of $200 million as of March 31, 2026, which is secured by investor capital commitments. The facility is used to provide short term funding for acquisitions prior to capital calls and is repaid through capital contributions. The subscription line of credit is non-recourse to the Company.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the gross book value of the properties collateralizing the mortgages and other loans payable was approximately $3.2 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively.

**CMBS Repurchase Facility**

In December 2024, the Company entered into a repurchase facility for CMBS (CMBS Repurchase Facility), which provides us with the ability to sell certain CMBS investments with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same at a certain date or on demand. We seek to mitigate risks associated with our repurchase facility by managing the credit quality of our assets, early repayments, interest rate volatility, liquidity, and market value. The margin call provisions under our repurchase facility permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets activity and are not limited to collateral-specific credit marks. To monitor credit risk associated with our CMBS investments, our asset management team regularly reviews our investment portfolio and is in contact with our borrowers in order to monitor the collateral and enforce our rights as necessary. The risk associated with potential margin calls is further mitigated by our ability to collateralize the facility with additional assets from our portfolio of investments, our ability to satisfy margin calls with cash or cash equivalents and our access to additional liquidity. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no margin calls on the CMBS Repurchase Facility. At March 31, 2026, there was no outstanding balance on the facility.

**2026 Credit Facility**

On March 18, 2026, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the "2026 Credit Facility"), which was previously amended in December 2021 and November 2017, and was originally entered into in November 2012. As of March 31, 2026, the 2026 Credit Facility consisted of a:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.25 billion revolving credit facility with a maturity of June 2030 and two six-month, as-of-right extension options to June 2031.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $300.0 million term loan (or the "Term A Loans") with a maturity of May 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $100.0 million term loan (or the "Term B Loans") with a maturity of May 2026 and one six-month, as-of right extension option to November 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $750.0 million term loan (or the "Term C Loans") with a maturity of June 2031.

We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity of the credit facility to $4.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity date of the revolving credit facility without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions.

As of March 31, 2026, the 2026 Credit Facility bore interest at a spread over Term SOFR with an interest period of one or three months, as we may elect, ranging from (i) 85 basis points to 185 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility, (ii) 90 basis points to 170 basis points for the Term A Loans, (iii) 100 basis points to 180 basis points for the Term B Loans, and (iv) 95 basis points to 220 basis points for the Term C Loans, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. In instances where there are either only two ratings available or where there are more than two and the difference between them is one rating category, the applicable rating shall be the highest rating. In instances where there are more than two ratings and the difference between the highest and the lowest is two or more rating categories, then the applicable rating used is the average of the highest two, rounded down if the average is not a recognized category. The revolving credit facility also contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to us at a reduced interest rate. The 2026 Credit Facility provide for the ability to amend the 2026 Credit Facility to include a sustainability component whereby the revolving credit facility and Term C Loans pricing may improve by up to 3 basis points (depending on the sustainability rating achieved) upon the Company's achievement of certain sustainability ratings, determined via an independent third-party evaluation.

As of March 31, 2026, the applicable spread over Term SOFR for the 2026 Credit Facility was 125 basis points for the revolving credit facility, 170 basis points for the Term A Loans, 180 basis points for the Term B Loans and 145 basis points for the Term C loans. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 20 to 45 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. As of March 31, 2026, the facility fee was 30 basis points.

As of March 31, 2026, we had $7.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, $825.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.15 billion of outstanding term loans, with total undrawn capacity of $418.0 million under the 2026 Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $814.0 million and $637.8 million, respectively, net of deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the term loans had a carrying value of $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, net of deferred financing costs.

The Company and the Operating Partnership are borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2026 Credit Facility.

The 2026 Credit Facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).

**Restrictive Covenants**

The terms of the 2026 Credit Facility include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that we will not, during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

**Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures**

In June 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million in unsecured trust preferred securities through a newly formed trust, SL Green Capital Trust I, or the Trust, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The securities mature in 2035 and bear interest at a floating rate of 26 basis points over the three-month Term SOFR. Interest payments may be deferred for a period of up to eight consecutive quarters if the Operating Partnership exercises its right to defer such payments. The Trust preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole or in part, with no prepayment premium. We do not consolidate the Trust even though it is a variable interest entity as we are not the primary beneficiary. Because the Trust is not consolidated, we have recorded the debt on our consolidated balance sheets and the related payments are classified as interest expense.

**Principal Maturities**

Combined aggregate principal maturities of mortgages and other loans payable, the 2026 Credit Facility, trust preferred securities and our share of joint venture debt as of March 31, 2026, including as-of-right extension options but excluding other extension options, were as follows (in thousands):

**10. Related Party Transactions** 

**One Vanderbilt Avenue Investment**

In December 2016, we entered into agreements with entities owned and controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Marc Holliday, and our former President, Andrew Mathias, pursuant to which they agreed to make an investment in our One Vanderbilt project (inclusive of the property and SUMMIT One Vanderbilt) at the appraised fair market value for the interests acquired. This investment entitles these entities to receive a percentage of any profits realized by the Company from its One Vanderbilt project in excess of the Company's capital contributions, of approximately 1.27% and 0.85%, respectively, on account of the property and 1.92% and 1.28%, respectively, on account of SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. The entities had no right to any return of capital. Accordingly, subject to previously disclosed repurchase rights, these interests had no value and these entities were not entitled to any amounts (other than limited distributions to cover tax liabilities incurred) unless and until the Company received distributions from the One Vanderbilt project in excess of the Company's aggregate investment in the project. The entities owned and controlled by Messrs. Holliday and Mathias paid $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which equaled the fair market value of the interests acquired as of the date the investment agreements were entered into as determined by an independent third party appraisal that we obtained.

Messrs. Holliday and Mathias have the right to tender their interests in the project upon stabilization (50% within three years after stabilization and 100% three years or more after stabilization). In addition, the agreement calls for us to repurchase these interests in the event of a sale of One Vanderbilt or a transactional change of control of the Company. We also have the right to repurchase these interests on the seven-year anniversary of the stabilization of the project or upon the occurrence of certain separation events prior to the stabilization of the project relating to each of Messrs. Holliday's and Mathias's continued service with us. The price paid upon a tender of the interests will equal the liquidation value of the interests at the time, with the value based on the project's sale price, if applicable, or fair market value as determined by an independent third-party appraiser. In 2022, stabilization of the property (excluding SUMMIT One Vanderbilt) was achieved. Therefore, Messrs. Holliday and Mathias exercised their rights to tender 50% of their interests in the property (excluding SUMMIT One Vanderbilt) in July 2022. In 2023, stabilization of SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was achieved.

Messrs. Holliday's and Mathias's remaining interests in the One Vanderbilt project are included in Preferred units and redeemable equity in the mezzanine equity section of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRSPP")**

In February 2024, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC for our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, or DRSPP, which automatically became effective upon filing.

**Earnings per Share**

We use the two-class method of computing earnings per share ("EPS"), which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid). Under the two-class method, basic EPS is computed by dividing the income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from share equivalent activity.

The Company has excluded 7,375,635 and 6,262,427 common stock equivalents from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 respectively, as they were anti-dilutive.

**13. Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership**

The Company is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2026, owned 71,123,984 general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and 9,200,000 Series I Preferred Units. Partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated as "common units of limited partnership interest" (also referred to as "OP Units") or "preferred units of limited partnership interest" (also referred to as "Preferred Units"). All references to OP Units and Preferred Units outstanding exclude such units held by the Company. A holder of an OP Unit may present such OP Unit to the Operating Partnership for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, the Operating Partnership must redeem such OP Unit in exchange for the cash equal to the then value of a share of common stock of the Company, except that the Company may, at its election, in lieu of cash redemption, acquire such OP Unit for one share of common stock. Because the number of shares of common stock outstanding at all times equals the number of OP Units that the Company owns, one share of common stock is generally the economic equivalent of one OP Unit, and the quarterly distribution that may be paid to the holder of an OP Unit equals the quarterly dividend that may be paid to the holder of a share of common stock. Each series of Preferred Units makes a distribution that is set in accordance with an amendment to the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. Preferred Units may also be convertible into OP Units at the election of the holder thereof or the Company, subject to the terms of such Preferred Units.

Net income (loss) allocated to the preferred unitholders and common unitholders reflects their pro rata share of net income (loss) and distributions.

**14. Share-based Compensation**

We have share-based employee and director compensation plans. Our employees are compensated through the Operating Partnership. Under each plan, whenever the Company issues common or preferred stock, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of units of limited partnership interest of a corresponding class to the Company.

The Sixth Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Plan, was approved by the Company's Board of Directors in April 2025 and its stockholders in June 2025 at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted and restricted stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights, cash-based awards and other equity-based awards. Subject to adjustments upon certain corporate transactions or events, awards with respect to up to a maximum of 39,890,000 fungible units may be granted under the 2005 Plan. Currently, different types of awards count against the limit on the number of fungible units differently, with (1) full-value awards (i.e., those that deliver the full value of the award upon vesting, such as restricted stock) counting as 3.20 Fungible Units per share subject to such awards, (2) stock options, stock appreciation rights, Class O LTIP units and other awards that do not deliver full value of the underlying shares and expire five years from the date of grant counting as 0.87 fungible units per share subject to such awards, and (3) all other awards (e.g., 10-year stock options) counting as 1.0 fungible units per share subject to such awards. Awards granted under the 2005 Plan prior to the approval of the sixth amendment and restatement in June 2025 continue to count against the fungible unit limit based on the ratios that were in effect at the time such awards were granted, which may be different than the current ratios. As a result, depending on the types of awards issued, the 2005 Plan may result in the issuance of more or less than 39,890,000 shares. If a stock option or other award granted under the 2005 Plan expires or terminates, the common stock subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. Shares of our common stock distributed under the 2005 Plan may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. Currently, unless the 2005 Plan has been previously terminated by the Company's Board of Directors, new awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan until June 3, 2035, which is the tenth anniversary of the date that the 2005 Plan was most recently approved by the Company's stockholders. As of March 31, 2026, 6.2 million fungible units were available for issuance under the 2005 Plan after reserving for shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, phantom stock units granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors' Deferral Program and LTIP Units.

**Stock Options and Class O LTIP Units**

Options are granted with an exercise price at the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and, subject to employment, generally expire five years or ten years from the date of grant, are not transferable other than on death, and generally vest in one year to five years commencing one year from the date of grant. We have also granted Class O LTIP Units, which are a class of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership structured to provide economics similar to those of stock options. Class O LTIP Units, once vested, may be converted, at the election of the holder, into a number of common units of the Operating Partnership per Class O LTIP Unit determined by the increase in value of a share of the Company's common stock at the time of conversion over a participation threshold, which equals the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock at the time of grant. Class O LTIP Units are entitled to distributions, subject to vesting, equal per unit to 10% of the per unit distributions paid with respect to the common units of the Operating Partnership.

In December 2024, our Chairman and CEO, Marc Holliday, received a grant of 217,917 Class O LTIP Units in connection with his new employment agreement, that are subject to both time-based vesting conditions and performance-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied if the average share price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $100.00 as of any trailing twenty trading day period between the grant date and the fifth anniversary thereafter. Subject to achievement of the performance hurdle and continued employment, the Class O LTIP Units vest ratably on December 31, 2026, and December 31, 2027, following the tranche that vested on December 31, 2025.

The fair value of each stock option or LTIP Unit granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on historical information with the following weighted average assumptions for grants during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.

| Total fair value of restricted stock granted during the period | $**3256248** | $4206695 |

---

The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025 was $18.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there was $18.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

We granted LTIP Units, which include bonus, time-based and performance-based awards, with a fair value of $28.2 million and $27.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The grant date fair value of the LTIP Unit awards was calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718, *Compensation - Stock Compensation* ("ASC 718"). A third-party consultant determined that the fair value of the LTIP Units has a discount to our common stock price. The discount was calculated by considering the inherent uncertainty that the LTIP Units will reach parity with other common partnership units and the illiquidity due to transfer restrictions. As of March 31, 2026, there was $42.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the time-based and performance-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, we recorded compensation expense related to bonus, time-based and performance-based awards of $5.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was capitalized to assets associated with compensation expense related to our long-term compensation plans, restricted stock and stock options.

**Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors**

Under our Non-Employee Director's Deferral Program, which commenced July 2004, the Company's non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer fee, chairman fees, meeting fees and annual stock grant. Unless otherwise elected by a participant, fees deferred under the program shall be credited in the form of phantom stock units. The program provides that a director's phantom stock units generally will be settled in an equal number of shares of common stock upon the earlier of (i) the January 1 coincident with or the next following such director's termination of service from the Board of Directors or (ii) a change in control by us, as defined by the program. Phantom stock units are credited to each non-employee director quarterly using the closing price of our common stock on the first business day of the respective quarter. Each participating non-employee director is also credited with dividend equivalents or phantom stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter, which are either paid in cash currently or credited to the director's account as additional phantom stock units.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 20,017 phantom stock units and 15,012 shares of common stock were issued to our Board of Directors. We recorded compensation expense of $1.9 million and $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively, related to the Deferred Compensation Plan.

As of March 31, 2026, there were 101,237 phantom stock units outstanding pursuant to our Non-Employee Director's Deferral Program.

**Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

In 2007, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, to provide equity-based incentives to eligible employees. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code, and has been adopted by the board to enable our eligible employees to purchase the Company's shares of common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP became effective on January 1, 2008 with a maximum of 500,000 shares of the common stock available for issuance, subject to adjustment upon a merger, reorganization, stock split or other similar corporate change. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC with respect to the ESPP. The common stock is offered for purchase through a series of successive offering periods. Each offering period will be three months in duration and will begin on the first day of each calendar quarter, with the first offering period having commenced on January 1, 2008. The ESPP provides for eligible employees to purchase the common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or (2) the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period. The ESPP was approved by our stockholders at our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. As of March 31, 2026, 275,249 shares of our common stock had been issued under the ESPP.

**16. Fair Value Measurements**

We are required to disclose fair value information with regard to certain of our financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The FASB guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We measure and/or disclose the estimated fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are used when little or no market data is available. We follow this hierarchy for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of the particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

*Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis*

The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis by their levels in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands)

(1)During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund purchased $146.9 million of investments classified as Level 3 and recognized $6.0 million of unrealized gains on those investments included within "Income from debt fund investments, net" in the consolidated statements of operations.

(2)In 2021, the Company admitted an additional partner to the One Madison Avenue development project with the partner's indirect ownership in the joint venture totaling 25.0%. The transaction did not meet sale accounting under ASC 860 and, as a result, was treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes and is included in "Other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets.

We evaluate real estate investments and debt and preferred equity investments, including intangibles, for potential impairment primarily utilizing cash flow projections that apply, among other things, estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, as well as sales comparison approach, which utilizes comparable sales, listings and sales contracts, all of which are classified as Level 3 inputs.

Marketable securities classified as Level 1 are derived from quoted prices in active markets. The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of marketable securities classified as Level 2 were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using the significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. We do not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

The fair value of derivative instruments is based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well-recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions, which are classified as Level 2 inputs.

The senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles represent CMBS that are not owned by the Company. A majority of these securities are either traded in the marketplace or are similar to other securities that are traded in the marketplace. As the valuation of these amounts are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, we generally utilize third party pricing service providers to determine the fair value. The Company evaluates and assesses the third party pricing by referring to recent trades of similar securities, ratings, subordination levels, current market data and credit issues. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs over unobservable inputs and uses the value of the senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles as an indicator of the fair value of the real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles. Depending on the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining the fair value, these securities are classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As such, these investments may move between Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy if the significant fair value inputs used to price the CMBS become or cease to be observable.

The fair value of our secured borrowing is determined by projecting future cash flows, which takes into consideration various factors including discount rate and exit capitalization rate, as well as related asset performance and local or macro real estate performance. The inputs used in determining the Company's secured borrowing are considered Level 3.

*Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company acquired Park Avenue Tower and the retail condominium located at 610 Park Avenue. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values were determined using third-party valuations which primarily utilized cash flow projections that apply, among other things, estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, as well as the sales comparison approach, which utilizes comparable sales, listings, and sales contracts, all of which are classified as Level 3 inputs.

As of March 31, 2026, the residential and retail condominium units at 7 Dey Street were classified as held for sale following the execution of an agreement to sell the units for $220.5 million. The Company recorded a $35.2 million charge in connection with the classification of 7 Dey Street as held for sale, which is included in "Depreciable real estate reserves and impairments" in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the property was determined by the terms of the purchase and sale agreement.

*Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value*

The financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, debt and preferred equity investments, mortgages and other loans payable and other secured and unsecured debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt and preferred equity investments, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same maturities would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair value of borrowings, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt instrument to their present value using adjusted market interest rates, which is provided by a third-party specialist.

The following table provides the carrying value and fair value of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

**17. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging**

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We use a variety of commonly used derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors, and foreign currency forward contracts, to manage these underlying market risks. We hedge our exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in addition to anticipated future interest payments on existing debt. We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedge asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Reported net income and equity may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates, currency exchange rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. Currently, all of our designated derivative instruments are effective hedging instruments.

*Interest Rate Derivatives*

The following table summarizes the notional value at inception and fair value of our consolidated interest rate derivatives as of March 31, 2026 based on Level 2 information. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (dollars in thousands).

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded unrealized gains of $2.1 million based on changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives not designated as hedges, which are included in "Purchase price and other fair value adjustments" in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 we recorded unrealized losses of $3.1 million based on changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives not designated as hedges, which are included in "Purchase price and other fair value adjustments" in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded realized gains of $5.4 million on settled contracts, which are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a loss of $0.1 million on the changes in fair value, which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Certain agreements the Company has with each of its interest rate derivative counterparties contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its interest rate derivative obligations. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of interest rate derivatives in a net liability position, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was ($8.9 million). As of March 31, 2026, the Company was not required to post any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $9.1 million as of March 31, 2026.

Gains and losses on terminated hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, and are recognized into earnings over the term of the related obligation. Over time, the realized and unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. We estimate that ($4.8 million) of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into interest expense and $4.3 million of the portion related to our share of joint venture accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into equity in net (loss) income from unconsolidated joint ventures within the next 12 months.

The following table presents the effect of our interest derivatives and our share of our unconsolidated joint ventures' interest derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively (in thousands):

*Foreign Exchange Derivatives*

We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on financial instruments which are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in euro. We use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain euro-denominated assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange forward contracts involve fixing the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. Our foreign exchange forward contracts are settled on a gross basis through the exchange of U.S. dollars and the contracted foreign currency on the settlement date.

The following table summarizes the notional value at inception and fair value of our consolidated foreign exchange derivatives as of March 31, 2026 based on Level 2 information. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, foreign exchange rates or market risks (dollars in thousands).

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded an unrealized loss of $0.1 million based on changes in the fair value of foreign exchange derivatives not designated as hedges, which are included in "Purchase price and other fair value adjustments" in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we did not record any unrealized gains or losses on foreign exchange derivatives, as we did not have any outstanding during that period.

**20. Segment Information**

The Company has three operating and reportable segments, real estate, debt and preferred equity ("DPE") investments, including the Fund, and SUMMIT. The results of these segments are provided to and reviewed by the CEO, our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses this information to assess performance and inform key decisions regarding operations, resources and capital allocation.

Our CODM evaluates real estate performance and allocates resources based on net operating income, which serves as the profit or loss measure for the real estate operating segment. For our debt and preferred equity investments and SUMMIT operating segment performance, our CODM evaluates and allocates resources based on net income. The CODM does not review asset information, by segment, as a measure to assess performance.

For the real estate segment, the primary sources of revenue are tenant rents and escalations and reimbursement revenue. See Note 7, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments," for additional details on our debt and preferred equity investments. We allocate loan loss reserves, net of recoveries, and transaction related costs to the debt and preferred equity segment. SUMMIT currently operates one location at One Vanderbilt Avenue in midtown Manhattan with the primary source of revenue generated from ticket sales.

There were no transactions between the above three segments other than the SUMMIT lease with our One Vanderbilt Avenue joint venture, which is part of the real estate segment. See Note 10, "Related Party Transactions."

*Rental revenue*

Rental revenues increased due primarily to the acquisition of Park Avenue Tower ($15.6 million) during the first quarter of 2026, the consolidation of 800 Third Avenue ($8.6 million) during the fourth quarter of 2025, and the consolidation of 315 West 33rd Street ($9.0 million) during the third quarter of 2025. This increase is partially offset by the deconsolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($10.0 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

The following table presents a summary of the commenced leasing activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 in our Manhattan and Suburban portfolio:

*SUMMIT Operator revenue*

SUMMIT Operator revenues were higher due primarily to the Ascent experience coming back online during the fourth quarter of 2025, which is a premium ticket that generates incremental revenue.

*Investment income*

Investment income decreased due primarily to interest payments received on one CMBS investment ($10.0 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Investment income also decreased due to a lower weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $118.3 million and 6.9%, respectively, as compared to $333.3 million and 6.4%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

*Interest income from real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles*

From time to time we own securities in CMBS securitization trusts that result in the consolidation of the trusts on our financial statements. The amounts recorded include our interest income as well as the interest income associated with CMBS positions owned by third parties, which is offset by the amounts recorded in "Interest expense on senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles." As a result, the net impact is limited to the interest income on the CMBS we own directly and not the consolidated interest income and interest expense.

*Fee income*

Fee income increased due primarily to an increase in management fees ($6.5 million) and special servicing fees of ($1.2 million).

*Other income*

Other income decreased due primarily to lease termination income ($3.8 million) recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

*Property operating expenses*

Property operating expenses increased due primarily to the acquisition of Park Avenue Tower ($6.3 million) during the first quarter of 2026, the consolidation of 800 Third Avenue ($5.1 million) during the fourth quarter of 2025, and the consolidation of 315 West 33rd Street ($4.1 million) during the third quarter of 2025. This increase is partially offset by the deconsolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($6.7 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

*SUMMIT Operator expenses*

SUMMIT Operator expenses were higher due to increased variable expenses as a result of increased operating hours and the Ascent premium experience coming back online.

*Marketing, general and administrative*

Marketing, general, and administrative expenses increased due primarily to higher stock based compensation expenses.

*Interest expense, net of interest income*

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased due primarily to the acquisition of Park Avenue Tower during the first quarter of 2026 ($5.5 million), the consolidation of 800 Third Avenue ($2.7 million) during the fourth quarter of 2025, and the consolidation of 315 West 33rd Street ($3.1 million) during the third quarter of 2025. These increases were offset by decreased interest expense from the deconsolidation of 100 Park Avenue, ($6.2 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, and an increase in interest capitalization at properties that are under development or redevelopment ($7.1 million). The weighted average consolidated debt balance outstanding was $4.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.8 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The consolidated weighted average interest rate was 5.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 5.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

*SUMMIT Operator tax (expense) benefit*

SUMMIT Operator tax expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to a 2024 tax reduction adjustment that was recorded in the first quarter of 2025.

 *Interest expense on senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles*

From time to time we own securities in CMBS securitization trusts that result in the consolidation of the trusts on our financial statements. The amounts include the interest expense associated with CMBS positions owned by third parties, which is an offset to the third party interest income recognized in "Interest income from real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles." As a result, the impact is limited to interest income on the CMBS we own directly and not the consolidated interest income and interest expense.

*Depreciation and amortization*

Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to the acquisition of Park Avenue Tower ($8.3 million) during the first quarter of 2026, the consolidation of 800 Third Avenue ($2.9 million) during the fourth quarter of 2025, and the consolidation of 315 West 33rd Street ($4.4 million) during the third quarter of 2025. This increase is partially offset by the deconsolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($4.7 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 and decrease at our Same-Store Properties ($6.8 million).

*Equity in net (loss) income from unconsolidated joint ventures*

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $18.3 million of income related to the write-off of a negative carrying value associated with an unconsolidated joint venture after we were no longer obligated or otherwise committed to provide additional financial support to the entity.

*Purchase price and other fair value adjustments*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a $2.2 million positive fair value adjustment related to the previous sale of an interest in One Madison Avenue, which did not meet sale accounting under ASC 860, and a $2.0 million positive fair value adjustment related to derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a $5.9 million negative fair value adjustment related to the previous sale of an interest in One Madison Avenue and a $3.1 million negative fair value adjustment related to derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

*Gain (loss) on sale of real estate, net*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a $15.3 million gain on the sale of 690 Madison Avenue.

*Depreciable real estate reserves and impairments*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized depreciable real estate reserves and impairments in connection with the classification of 7 Dey Street as held for sale ($35.2 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized depreciable real estate reserves and impairments related to the sale of residential condominium units at 760 Madison Avenue ($8.5 million).

*Loan loss and other investment reserves, net of recoveries*

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not recognize any loan loss and other investment reserves. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 we recognized a loan loss recovery of $25.0 million related to the resolution of a commercial mortgage investment.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We currently expect that the principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, acquisitions, development or redevelopment of properties, tenant improvements, leasing costs, dividends to shareholders, distributions to unitholders, repurchases or repayments of outstanding indebtedness or other investments will include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Cash flow from operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Cash on hand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Net proceeds from divestitures of properties and redemptions, participations, dispositions and repayments of debt and preferred equity investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Borrowings under the revolving credit facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)Other forms of secured or unsecured financing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)Proceeds from common or preferred equity or debt offerings by the Company or the Operating Partnership (including issuances of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and Trust preferred securities).

Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the collectability of rent, the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent, operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs.

The combined aggregate principal maturities of mortgages and other loans payable, the 2026 Credit Facility, trust preferred securities, our share of joint venture debt, including as-of-right extension options, estimated interest expense, and our obligations under our financing and operating leases, as of March 31, 2026 are as follows (in thousands):

We estimate that for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2026, we expect to incur $75.8 million of leasing capital expenditures and $31.7 million of recurring capital expenditures on existing consolidated properties, of which $22.4 million will be funded by construction financing facilities or loan reserves. In addition, we expect to incur $22.5 million of development or redevelopment expenditures on existing consolidated properties, of which $2.8 million will be funded by construction financing facilities or loan reserves. We expect our share of capital expenditures at our joint venture properties will be $131.3 million, of which $33.9 million will be funded by construction financing facilities or loan reserves. Future property acquisitions may require substantial capital investments for refurbishment and leasing costs.

As of March 31, 2026, we had liquidity of $0.6 billion, comprised of $418.0 million of availability under our revolving credit facility and $169.2 million of consolidated cash on hand, inclusive of $25.3 million of available-for-sale marketable securities. This liquidity excludes $111.4 million representing our share of cash at unconsolidated joint venture properties. We may seek to divest of properties, interests in properties, or access private and public debt and equity capital when the opportunity presents itself, although there is no guarantee that this capital will be made available to us at efficient levels or at all. Management believes that these sources of liquidity, if we are able to access them, along with potential refinancing opportunities for secured and unsecured debt, will allow us to satisfy our debt and other obligations, as described above, upon maturity, if not before.

We have investments in several real estate joint ventures with various partners, that are generally considered to be financially stable, and most are financed with non-recourse debt. We believe that property level cash flows along with unfunded committed indebtedness and proceeds from the refinancing of outstanding secured indebtedness will be sufficient to fund the capital needs of our joint venture properties.

**Cash Flows**

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on our consolidated statements of cash flows in "Item 1. Financial Statements" and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents were $338.6 million and $337.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing an increase of $1.6 million. The increase was a result of the following changes in cash flows (in thousands):

Our principal sources of operating cash flow are the properties in our consolidated and joint venture portfolios, third-party fees and our debt and preferred equity portfolio. These sources generate a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund dividend and distribution requirements.

Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, development or redevelopment projects and recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing, financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings that meet our investment criteria. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used cash primarily for the following investing activities (in thousands):

---

|:---|:---|
| Acquisitions of real estate | $(551691) |
| Capital expenditures and capitalized interest | (29375) |
| Acquisition deposits and deferred purchase price |  |

| Cash and restricted cash assumed from acquisition of real estate investment |  |
| Debt and preferred equity and other investments | (54259) |
| Increase in net cash used in investing activities | $(516119) |

Capital expenditures, which are comprised of building and tenant improvements, increased from $74.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $103.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to increased leasing related costs as portfolio occupancy increases.

We generally fund our investment activity through the sale of real estate, property-level financing, corporate credit facilities, the sale or repayment of debt and preferred equity investments, or construction loan facilities. From time to time, the Company may issue common or preferred stock or equity-linked securities, or the Operating Partnership may issue common or preferred units of limited partnership interest.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used cash primarily for the following financing activities (in thousands):

**Share Repurchase Program**

The Company has in place a share repurchase program of $3.5 billion under which we can buy shares of our common stock.

As of March 31, 2026, 36,107,719 shares have been repurchased under the program. This amount excludes the redemption of OP units. We did not repurchase any shares under the program during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The variable rate debt shown above generally bears interest at an interest rate based on Term SOFR (3.66% and 3.69% as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively). Our consolidated debt as of March 31, 2026 had a weighted average term to maturity of 3.21 years.

Certain of our debt and equity investments and other investments, with carrying values of $78.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and $128.6 million as of December 31, 2025, are variable rate investments which mitigate our exposure to interest rate changes on our unhedged variable rate debt.

**Corporate Indebtedness**

**2026 Credit Facility**

On March 18, 2026, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the "2026 Credit Facility"), which was previously amended in December 2021 and November 2017, and was originally entered into in November 2012. As of March 31, 2026, the 2026 Credit Facility consisted of a:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.25 billion revolving credit facility with a maturity of June 2030 and two six-month, as-of-right extension options to June 2031.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $300.0 million term loan (or the "Term A Loans") with a maturity of May 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $100.0 million term loan (or the "Term B Loans") with a maturity of May 2026 and one six -month, as-of right extension option to November 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $750.0 million term loan (or the "Term C Loans") with a maturity of June 2031.

We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity of the credit facility to $4.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity date of the revolving credit facility without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions.

As of March 31, 2026, the 2026 Credit Facility bore interest at a spread over Term SOFR with an interest period of one or three months, as we may elect, ranging from (i) 85 basis points to 185 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility, (ii) 90 basis points to 170 basis points for the Term A Loans, (iii) 100 basis points to 180 basis points for the Term B Loans, and (iv) 95 basis points to 220 basis points for the Term C Loans, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. In instances where there are either only two ratings available or where there are more than two and the difference between them is one rating category, the applicable rating shall be the highest rating. In instances where there are more than two ratings and the difference between the highest and the lowest is two or more rating categories, then the applicable rating used is the average of the highest two, rounded down if the average is not a recognized category. The revolving credit facility also contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to us at a reduced interest rate. The 2026 Credit Facility provide for the ability to amend the 2026 Credit Facility to include a sustainability component whereby the revolving credit facility and Term C Loans pricing may improve by up to 3 basis points (depending on the sustainability rating achieved) upon the Company's achievement of certain sustainability ratings, determined via an independent third-party evaluation.

As of March 31, 2026, the applicable spread over Term SOFR for the 2026 Credit Facility was 125 basis points for the revolving credit facility, 170 basis points for the Term A Loans, 180 basis points for the Term B Loans and 145 basis points for the Term C loans. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 20 to 45 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. As of March 31, 2026, the facility fee was 30 basis points.

As of March 31, 2026, we had $7.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, $825.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.15 billion of outstanding term loans, with total undrawn capacity of $418.0 million under the 2026 Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $814.0 million and $637.8 million, respectively, net of deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the term loans had a carrying value of $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, net of deferred financing costs.

The Company and the Operating Partnership are borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2026 Credit Facility. The lending group for the Term C Loans consists of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., TD Securities (USA) LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as joint lead arrangers, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., TD Securities (USA) LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., as joint bookrunners, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, TD Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Bank of Montreal and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as documentation agents, and the other lenders party thereto.

Members of the lending group and their affiliates have performed commercial banking, investment banking, corporate trust and advisory services for the Company and its affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. Members of the lending group and their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of their business.

The 2026 Credit Facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).

**Restrictive Covenants**

The terms of the 2026 Credit Facility include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that we will not, during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

**CMBS Repurchase Facility**

In December 2024, the Company entered into a repurchase facility for CMBS (CMBS Repurchase Facility), which provides us with the ability to sell certain CMBS investments with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same at a certain date or on demand. We seek to mitigate risks associated with our repurchase facility by managing the credit quality of our assets, early repayments, interest rate volatility, liquidity, and market value. The margin call provisions under our repurchase facility permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets activity and are not limited to collateral-specific credit marks. To monitor credit risk associated with our CMBS investments, our asset management team regularly reviews our investment portfolio and is in contact with our borrowers in order to monitor the collateral and enforce our rights as necessary. The risk associated with potential margin calls is further mitigated by our ability to collateralize the facility with additional assets from our portfolio of investments, our ability to satisfy margin calls with cash or cash equivalents and our access to additional liquidity. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no margin calls on the CMBS Repurchase Facility. At March 31, 2026, there was no outstanding balance on the facility.

**Interest Rate Risk**

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable rate debt. Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations are managed through the use of interest rate derivative instruments and through our variable rate debt and preferred equity investments. Based on the debt outstanding as of March 31, 2026, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the applicable floating interest rate curve would increase our share of consolidated annual interest cost, net of interest income from variable rate debt and preferred equity investments, by $5.5 million and would increase our share of joint venture annual interest cost by $4.1 million. As of March 31, 2026, $77.6 million, or 65.7%, of our $118.1 million debt and preferred equity portfolio was indexed to SOFR.

We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We have off-balance sheet investments, including joint ventures and debt and preferred equity investments. These investments all have varying ownership structures. A majority of our joint venture arrangements are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control, the operating and financial decisions of these joint venture arrangements. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 5, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures" and Note 7, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

**Dividends/Distributions**

We expect to pay dividends to our stockholders based on the distributions we receive from our Operating Partnership.

<u>[Table of Content](#i026aac86dd574327b003e63956bcc7e3_10)[s](#i026aac86dd574327b003e63956bcc7e3_10)</u>

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must pay annual dividends to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined before taking into consideration the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains.

Any dividend we pay may be in the form of cash, stock or a combination thereof, subject to IRS limitations on the use of stock for dividends. Additionally, if our REIT taxable income in a particular year exceeds the amount of cash dividends we pay in that year, we may pay stock dividends in order to maintain our REIT status and avoid certain REIT-level taxes.

Before we pay any cash dividend, whether for Federal income tax purposes or otherwise, which would only be paid out of available cash to the extent permitted under the 2026 credit facility, we must first meet both our operating requirements and scheduled debt service on our mortgages and loans payable.

**Insurance**

We maintain "all-risk" property and rental value coverage (including coverage regarding the perils of flood, earthquake and terrorism, excluding nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological terrorism ("NBCR")), within two property insurance programs and liability insurance. Separate property and liability coverage may be purchased on a stand-alone basis for certain assets, such as development projects. Additionally, one of our captive insurance companies, Belmont Insurance Company ("Belmont"), provides coverage for NBCR terrorist acts above a specified trigger. Belmont's retention is reinsured by our other captive insurance company, Ticonderoga Insurance Company ("Ticonderoga"). However, there is no assurance that in the future we will be able to procure coverage at a reasonable cost. Further, if we experience losses that are uninsured or that exceed policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. Additionally, our debt instruments contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance and we could default under our debt instruments if the cost and/or availability of certain types of insurance make it impractical or impossible to comply with such covenants relating to insurance. Belmont and Ticonderoga provide coverage solely on properties owned by the Company or its affiliates. If Belmont or Ticonderoga are required to pay a claim under our insurance policies, we would ultimately record the loss to the extent of required payments.

Furthermore, with respect to certain of our properties, including properties held by joint ventures or subject to triple net leases, insurance coverage is obtained by a third-party and we do not control the coverage. While we may have agreements with such third parties to maintain adequate coverage and we monitor these policies, such coverage ultimately may not be maintained or adequately cover our risk of loss.

**Funds from Operations**

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely recognized non-GAAP financial measure of REIT performance. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition, or that interpret the Nareit definition differently than the Company does. The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of Nareit in April 2002, and subsequently amended in December 2018, defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties and real estate related impairment charges, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

The Company presents FFO because it considers it an important supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, particularly those that own and operate commercial office properties. The Company also uses FFO as one of several criteria to determine performance-based compensation for members of its senior management. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions, and real estate related impairment charges, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**<u>SL GREEN REALTY CORP.</u>**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those the Company maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

**Section 2.2. Term Loans.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Term Loans</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Effective Date, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make a Loan to the Borrowers in the principal amount set forth for such Lender on Schedule I as such Lender's "Commitment Amount". Upon the funding by each Lender of its Loan

------

on the Effective Date, the Commitment of such Lender shall terminate whether or not the full amount of the Commitments are funded on such date. Any portion of a Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Request for Term Loans</u>. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing requesting that the Lenders make their respective Loans on the Effective Date (or in the case of Additional Loans, on the date of the funding thereof in accordance with Section 2.19.). Such Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Closing Date Loans and other Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans and not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Loans (other than the Closing Date Loans) that are to be Term SOFR Loans. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be borrowed, the Type of the requested Loans and if such Loans are to be Term SOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Funding of Term Loans</u>. Promptly after receipt of the Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Loan to be made by such Lender to the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the Effective Date. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested borrowing of Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

With respect to Loans to be made on the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower the amount of such Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Loan, then such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made available to the applicable Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If a Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender.

**Section 2.15. [Reserved].**

**Section 2.16. Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party shall be joint and several, and, accordingly, each Borrower confirms that it is liable for the full amount of the Obligations, regardless of whether incurred by such Borrower or any other Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Borrowers, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Lenders through their collective efforts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be obligated or required before enforcing any Loan Document against a Borrower: (a) to pursue any right or remedy it may have against any other Borrower or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of any other Borrower or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of any other Borrower or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender which may secure any of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) It is the intent of each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that in any proceeding of the types described in Sections 10.1.(e) or 10.1.(f), a Borrower's maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower in such proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be determined in any such proceeding are referred to as the "Avoidance Provisions". Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of a Borrower hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance

------

under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Borrower shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This subsection is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Borrower hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Borrower or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) To the extent that any Borrower shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of the Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Borrower would otherwise have paid if such Borrower had paid the aggregate amount of Obligations (excluding the amount paid by any other Person) in the same proportion as such Borrower's net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all of the Borrowers on such date, then such Borrower shall be reimbursed by each other Borrower for the amount of such excess pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Borrower on such date.

 - 41 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Borrower of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

**Section 2.17. Borrower Representative.**

Each Borrower hereby appoints the Parent to act as its agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of Loans and the giving and receiving of notices under or in respect of the Loan Documents) (in such capacity, the "Borrower Representative"). Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Borrower Representative may execute such documents as the Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and with respect to any such document executed by only the Borrower Representative, each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document, (ii) any notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder to the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by the Borrowers or the Borrower Representative. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative without the consent of, or notice to, such Borrower shall not release or discharge such Borrower from its obligations hereunder.

**Section 2.18. [Reserved].**

**Section 2.19. Additional Loans.**

The Borrowers shall have the right at any time prior to the Maturity Date, to request the making of additional Loans (the "Additional Loans"), by the Borrower Representative providing written notice (which may be by telecopy or electronic mail) to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that after giving effect to the making of any Additional Loans, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of "Loans" and "Commitments" under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement shall not exceed $4,500,000,000 less the sum of the amount of any optional prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.9. plus any optional prepayments of term loans or reductions of the revolving commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement made after the Agreement Date. Additional Loans

------

shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of this Agreement that are applicable to all other Loans of the same Class. Each such request to make Additional Loans must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers). The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of the making of Additional Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to the making of Additional Loans, and the allocations of the making of Additional Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to make an Additional Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with the making of Additional Loans must be an Eligible Assignee. Effecting the making of Additional Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of the making of such Additional Loans, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Borrower or such other Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of all corporate, partnership or other necessary action taken by the Borrowers to authorize the borrowing of Additional Loans; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrowers and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iii) new Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any existing Lenders increasing their Loans, in the amount of such Lender's Loan (in each case unless any such Lender requests not to receive such a Note). In connection with the making of any Additional Loans pursuant to this Section, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

**Section 2.20. Funds Transfer Disbursements.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Generally</u>. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of such Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower; or (ii) made in such Borrower's name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by such Borrower. Each Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower Representative or any Borrower. If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect

------

unauthorized funds transfer requests, each Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Administrative Agent's confirmation to the Borrower Representative or such Borrower of such transfer.

 - 43 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Funds Transfer</u>. The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. The Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority, (iii) cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline or (iv) otherwise cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Limitation of Liability</u>. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be liable to any Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which any Borrower's transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent's or any Lender's control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

**Article III. Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions**

**Section 3.1. Payments.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Payments by Borrowers</u>. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by any Loan Party under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10.), to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 10.5., each Borrower shall, at the time of such Borrower's making a payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by such Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrowers</u>. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due from a Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

 - 44 -

**Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.**

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each payment of fees under Section 3.5(f) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them, (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; (c) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 4.1.(c) and 4.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders, as applicable, according to the amounts of their respective Loans, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender's portion of such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.

**Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.**

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to a Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by a Borrower through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of a Borrower to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to other Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the applicable Loans made by such other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower.

**Section 3.4. Several Obligations.**

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or

------

to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

 - 45 -

**Section 3.5. Fees.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Closing Fee</u>. On the Effective Date, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed to in writing by any Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Administrative and Other Fees</u>. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay (i) the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letter with the Lender acting as Administrative Agent and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by any Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Sustainability Structuring Agent such fees (if any) as may be otherwise agreed to in writing by a Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent from time to time.

**Section 3.6. Computations.**

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

**Section 3.7. Usury.**

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower Representative shall notify the respective Lender in writing that such Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that no Borrower pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by such Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon any Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or "breakage" charges, increased cost charges, attorneys' fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no

------

circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

 - 46 -

**Section 3.8. Statements of Account.**

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrowers monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrowers absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

**Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.**

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Waivers and Amendments</u>. Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.6. and in the definition of Requisite Lenders, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Defaulting Lender Waterfall</u>. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: <u>first</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; <u>second</u>, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; <u>third</u>, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; <u>fourth</u>, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; <u>fifth</u>, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and <u>sixth</u>, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) [<u>Reserved</u>].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Defaulting Lender Cure</u>. If the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that

------

Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other applicable Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their pro rata share thereof whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u> that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 12.22., no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

 - 47 -

**Section 3.10. Taxes.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Defined Terms</u>. For purposes of this Section, the term "Applicable Law" includes FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Payments Free of Taxes</u>. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower</u>. The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties 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 the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Indemnification by the Borrower</u>. The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Indemnification by the Lenders</u>. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.5. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any 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 any Loan

------

Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.

 - 48 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Evidence of Payments</u>. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Status of Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit T-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be

------

necessary for the Borrowers 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 this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Treatment of Certain Refunds</u>. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person or to apply for, seek or pursue any refund on behalf of the indemnifying party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

**Article IV. Yield Protection, Etc.**

**Section 4.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Capital Adequacy</u>. If any Lender or any Participant determines that, as the result of a Regulatory Change, compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or such corporation with regard to capital), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender's or such Participant's obligations hereunder.

 - 51 -

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Additional Costs.</u> In addition to and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay promptly to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Loans or its obligation to make any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the FRB for determining the maximum reserve requirement) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder), or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (other than on account of Taxes) as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Lender's Suspension of SOFR Loans.</u> Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on SOFR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes SOFR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Notification and Determination of Additional Costs</u>. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower Representative (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant, the Administrative Agent as well) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Participant pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such Participant, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's or such Participant's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower Representative (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

**Section 4.2. Suspension of SOFR Loans.**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability</u>. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR for any Interest Period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Simple SOFR and/or Term SOFR (including, without limitation, because SOFR is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) (A) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that Daily Simple SOFR and/or Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly represent the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans for such Interest Period or (B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders that Daily Simple SOFR and/or Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly represent the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower Representative and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, (w) any obligation of the Lenders to make additional SOFR Loans of the applicable Type and the right of the Borrowers to Continue Term SOFR Loans or Convert Loans into SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods), (x) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Continuation of, or Conversion of such SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have Converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans, if available (or otherwise, Base Rate Loans), in the amount specified there and in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, Base Rate Loans, and (y) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Daily Simple SOFR Loans, if available (or otherwise, Base Rate Loans) at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

 (a) <u>Benchmark Replacement Setting</u>.

 (i) <u>Benchmark Replacement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower Representative so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(i)(A) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) No Derivatives Contract shall be deemed to be a "Loan Document" for purposes of this Section 4.2(b).

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

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.2(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon the Borrower Representative's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (B) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Daily Simple SOFR Loans (if available) and otherwise, Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

**Section 4.3. Illegality.**

If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower Representative and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the

------

Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as the case may be, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a Daily Simple SOFR Loan or Term SOFR Loan, as the case may be, or continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of "Base Rate", in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Daily Simple SOFR Loans, if applicable, to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of "Base Rate") or convert all Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, to Daily Simple SOFR Loans, if available (or, otherwise, to Base Rate Loans), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4.

**Section 4.4. Compensation.**

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a Term SOFR Loan by a Borrower, or Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any failure by a Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a Term SOFR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan or Continue a Term SOFR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any failure of a Borrower to prepay any Term SOFR Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of prepayment, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the assignment of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 4.6.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of a Term SOFR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such Term SOFR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Term SOFR Loan for the same period if SOFR were set on the date on which such Term SOFR Loan was repaid, prepaid, Converted or assigned or the date on which a Borrower failed to borrow, Convert into, Continue or prepay such Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate Term SOFR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower Representative's request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower Representative with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

**Section 4.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.**

------

If the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c), Section 4.2. or Section 4.3. then such Lender's Daily Simple SOFR Loans, if applicable, and/or Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, shall be automatically Converted into, in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, Base Rate Loans immediately, or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans, if available or, otherwise, Base Rate Loans, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1.(c), Section 4.2., or Section 4.3. on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the Borrower Representative with a copy to the Administrative Agent, if applicable) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1., Section 4.2. or Section 4.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to the extent that such Lender's SOFR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender's SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the case may be; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as SOFR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Daily Simple SOFR Loans, if available in the case of Term SOFR Loans, or, otherwise to Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into SOFR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, if applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1.(c) or 4.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender's SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender's Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be automatically Converted, immediately, in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Term SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding the respective SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

**Section 4.6. Affected Lenders.**

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 4.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) or 4.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections or (c) a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower Representative may demand that such Lender (the "Affected Lender"), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender, any other Lender, or any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Affected Lender to execute the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Affected Lender if such Affected Lender does not promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender fails to deliver any Notes held by it, such Notes shall automatically be deemed canceled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify the Borrowers for any liabilities incurred by the Borrowers

------

by reason of the failure of such Lender to deliver such Notes). The exercise by the Borrowers of their rights under this Section shall be at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit any Borrower's obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 4.1., or 4.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

**Section 4.7. Change of Lending Office.**

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrowers or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) <u>Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions</u>. None of any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any of their respective Subsidiaries, any of their respective directors or officers, nor to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, any employees, Affiliates or any agent or representative of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from this Agreement, (i) is a Sanctioned Person or currently the subject or target of any Sanctions, (ii) has its assets located in a Sanctioned Country, (iii) directly or indirectly derives revenues from investments in, or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or (iv) has violated any Anti-Money Laundering Law in any material respect.

As of the Agreement Date, Schedule 6.1.(z) is a correct and complete list of all Eligible Properties, all Fund Investments and all Structured Finance Investments, and the name of each Subsidiary that owns or leases any such Property or that owns any such Fund Investment or Structured Finance Investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(aa) <u>Unencumbered Properties; Unencumbered Asset Value</u>. Each Property included in any calculation of Unencumbered Adjusted NOI satisfied at the time of such calculation, all of the requirements contained in the definition of "Eligible Property". Each Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value satisfied, at the time of such calculation, all of the requirements contained in the definition of "Eligible Property". At the time of calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, no Property, Structured Finance Investment, Fund Investments or Mortgage Receivable owned or held by an entity other than a Borrower or other Loan Party was included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value if such entity, or an entity (other than a Borrower or another Loan Party) that had a direct or indirect ownership interest in such entity at the time of such calculation, was an obligor in respect of any Indebtedness (other than Nonrecourse Indebtedness of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof).

If an Event of Default exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of expenses due under Section 12.2. until paid in full, and then Fees until paid in full;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) payments of interest on the Loans to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) payments of principal of the Loans and Specified Derivatives Obligations to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers, as the case may be;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 11.6. and 12.9. to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) payments of all other Guaranteed Obligations and other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrowers or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.

**Section 10.6. [Reserved].**

**Section 10.7. Performance by Administrative Agent.**

If any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Borrower Representative, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, such Borrower or such other Loan Party shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

**Section 10.8. Rights Cumulative.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents, and the Fee Letters shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may be selective, and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article X. for the benefit of all the Lenders; <u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) [reserved], (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article X. and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

**Article XI. The Administrative Agent**

------

**Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization.**

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms "Agent", "Administrative Agent", "agent" and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII. that the Borrowers or any other Loan Party are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any Affiliate of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; <u>provided</u>, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

**Section 11.2. Wells Fargo as Lender.**

Wells Fargo, as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders, or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or any other Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its

------

Affiliates may receive information regarding any of the Borrowers, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

**Section 11.3. Approvals of Lenders.**

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender's determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination (other than in respect of any consent required under Section 12.6.(b)).

**Section 11.4. Notice of Events of Default.**

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower Representative or any other Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a "notice of default". Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a "notice of default," the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

**Section 11.5. Administrative Agent's Reliance.**

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. None of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any

------

collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; or (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

**Section 11.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.**

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender's respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as the case may be, but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, "Indemnifiable Amounts"); <u>provided</u>, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent's or Sustainability Structuring Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any "lender liability" suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as the case may be, notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent that the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If any Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent, as the case may be, shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

------

**Section 11.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.**

Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any of their respective Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any of their respective Related Parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent's and the Sustainability Structuring Agent's legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent, as the case may be, and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.

**Section 11.8. Successor Administrative Agent and Successor Sustainability Structuring Agent.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Administrative Agent may (i) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative or (ii) be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and the Borrower Representative upon 30 days' prior written notice if the Administrative Agent (A) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (B) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower Representative's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower Representative shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days

------

after (I) the resigning Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, or (II) the Lenders' giving of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; <u>provided</u>, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that no Lender or Eligible Assignee has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower Representative and each Lender prior written notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Sustainability Structuring Agent may resign, and its engagement as such may be terminated, by giving at least 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders. The Sustainability Structuring Agent's engagement hereunder may also be terminated by the Borrowers at any time upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice by the Borrower Representative to the Sustainability Structuring Agent.

**Section 11.9. Titled Agents.**

No Titled Agent, in such capacity, assumes any responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender.

**Section 11.10. Specified Derivatives Contracts.**

Except as expressly provided in Section 12.6.(c), no Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 10.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.

**Section 11.11. Erroneous Payments.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Lender, each Specified Derivatives Provider and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider (or any Related Party thereof) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender or

------

Specified Derivatives Provider (each such recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.11(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment"), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent's written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 12.5 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.11 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each party's obligations under this Section 11.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Nothing in this Section 11.11 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient's receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

Failure of a Person designated to get a copy of a notice to receive such copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.

**Section 12.2. Expenses.**

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due diligence expense and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agent and a single local counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction and all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Lenders for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents, the Fee Letters and any letter relating to fees entered into with the Sustainability Structuring Agent, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent and/or the Sustainability Structuring Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents; <u>provided</u>, that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the Administrative Agent, one counsel to the Sustainability Structuring Agent and one separate counsel for the Lenders (in addition to fees and expenses for appropriate local or special counsel) in connection with such workout or enforcement or preservation unless an actual or perceived conflict of interest exists, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel (subject to the same limitations set forth in the proviso to clause (b) above) to the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 10.1.(e) or 10.1.(f), including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession financing or any plan of reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by such Borrower, such other Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. If any Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of such Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder. This Section 12.2. shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent expenses, losses and similar amounts arising from a non-Tax claim.

**Section 12.3. Setoff.**

------

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to any Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 10.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

**Section 12.4. Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SUSTAINABILITY STRUCTURING AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SUSTAINABILITY STRUCTURING AGENT AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY FEE LETTER OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SUSTAINABILITY STRUCTURING AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. EACH PARTY FURTHER 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 FORUM, AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE

------

BRINGING OF ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION BY ANY PARTY HERETO TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

**Section 12.5. Successors and Assigns.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Successors and Assigns Generally</u>. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower and no other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except as permitted by Section 9.3.(d)), and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (f) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Assignments by Lenders</u>. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); <u>provided</u> that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Minimum Amounts</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender's Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in the immediately following clause (B) in the aggregate, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, each Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Proportionate Amounts</u>. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes on a non pro rata basis.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Required Consents</u>. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; <u>provided</u>, that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Assignment and Assumption; Notes</u>. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>No Assignment to Certain Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) <u>No Assignment to Natural Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) <u>Certain Additional Payments</u>. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4., 12.2. and 12.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 12.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the

------

effective date of such assignment; <u>provided</u>, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Register</u>. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person) or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u> that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender in which such Participant has acquired a participation, or (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 4.1., 4.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; <u>provided</u> that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6. as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at any Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.3. as though it were a Lender; <u>provided</u> that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Limitations upon Participant Rights</u>. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. and 4.1. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative's prior written consent or such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after such Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10. unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.10.(g) as though it were a Lender, and such Participant shall be deemed to be a Lender for purposes of the definition of Excluded Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Certain Pledges</u>. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; <u>provided</u>, that no such pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>No Registration</u>. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance</u>. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

**Section 12.6. Amendments and Waivers.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Generally</u>. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 4.2(b)), (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Consent of Lenders Directly Affected</u>. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) increase (or reinstate) the Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, only the written consent of the Requisite

------

Lenders shall be required for the waiver of interest payable at the Post-Default Rate, retraction of the imposition of interest at the Post-Default Rate and amendment of the definition of "Post-Default Rate";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) [reserved];

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) modify the definition of "Maturity Date", or otherwise postpone any date fixed for, or forgive, any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations owing to the Lenders, in each case, without the written consent of each directly affected Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) [reserved];

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) modify the definitions of "Pro Rata Share" or "Requisite Lenders", amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2. or Section 10.5, or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, in each case, without the written consent of each directly affected Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section without the written consent of each Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) [reserved];

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) [reserved];

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) [reserved];

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) release any Borrower from its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document except as contemplated by Section 9.3. without the consent of each Lender; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii) waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 10.1.(a) without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of such Lenders).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Amendment of Administrative Agent's Duties, Etc</u>. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Sustainability Structuring Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Sustainability Structuring Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that affects the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a manner or to an extent materially dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender

------

that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower Representative or any other Borrower or any other Loan Party shall entitle the Borrower Representative or such other Borrower or such other Loan Party to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Borrowers) may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Conforming Changes or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 4.2(b) in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Technical Amendments</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.6., if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers have jointly identified a mistake or ambiguity in any provision of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision to cure such ambiguity or correct such provision so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Amend and Extend Transactions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Borrower Representative may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an "Extension") of the maturity date of the Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the applicable Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 and minimum increments of $20,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent)), and (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than fifteen (15) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)). Each Lender shall be offered (an "Extension Offer") an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Loans of Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such effective date of such Extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such

------

representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder and (C) the terms of Extended Loans shall comply with subclause (iii) of this Section 12.6.(e). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 12.6.(e) unless such Lender affirmatively accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrowers and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Loan shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date then in effect for the Loans, (B) the average life to maturity of the Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the existing Loans, (C) the Extended Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Loans and the borrowers and guarantors of the Extended Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrowers and Guarantors with respect to the existing Loans, as applicable, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Loans shall be determined by the Borrowers and the applicable extending Lenders, (E) the Extended Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Loans and (F) the terms of the Extended Loans shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in sub-clauses (A) through (E) above).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension (including, without limitation, legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Loans as a new tranche of Loans and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 12.6.(e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>KPI Metrics Amendments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the Agreement Date, the Borrowers, in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent, may in their sole discretion seek to establish specified key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental goals of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (such indicators, "KPI Metrics") and thresholds or targets with respect thereto (in either case, such thresholds or targets, "SPTs"). The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (each acting reasonably and in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent) may propose an amendment to this Agreement (such amendment, a "KPI Metrics Amendment") solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPI Metrics, the SPTs and other related provisions (the "KPI Metrics Pricing Provisions") into this Agreement. Any such KPI Metrics Amendment shall become effective upon (i) receipt by the Lenders of a lender presentation or memorandum in regard to the KPI Metrics and SPTs from the Borrowers no later than ten (10) Business Days before the proposed effective date of such proposed KPI Metrics Amendment, (ii) the posting of such proposed KPI Metrics Amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers, (iii) the identification, and engagement at the Borrowers' cost and expense, of a sustainability assurance provider, which shall be a qualified external reviewer of nationally recognized standing, independent of the

------

Borrowers and their Affiliates and (iv) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of executed signature pages and consents to such KPI Metrics Amendment from the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and Lenders comprising at least the Requisite Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any such KPI Metrics Amendment, based on the Borrowers' performance against the KPI Metrics and SPTs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) (such adjustments, the "KPI Metrics Applicable Rate Adjustments") to the otherwise applicable Applicable Margin may be made; provided that (x) the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to a KPI Metrics Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than 0.030% in the Applicable Margin during any fiscal year and shall be shall be applied in accordance with the terms as further described in the KPI Metrics Pricing Provisions and (y) in no event shall any Applicable Margin be less than zero (the provisions of this proviso, the "Sustainability Adjustment Limitations"). For the avoidance of doubt, the KPI Metrics Applicable Rate Adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year and shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place. The KPI Metrics, the Borrowers' performance against the KPI Metrics, and any related KPI Metrics Applicable Rate Adjustments resulting therefrom, will be determined based on certain Borrower certificates, reports and other documents, in each case, setting forth the KPI Metrics in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles, including with respect to the selection, setting, calculation, certification and measurement thereof. Following the effectiveness of a KPI Metrics Amendment, any modification to the KPI Metrics Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders so long as such modification does not have the effect of (1) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations set forth in the KPI Metrics Amendment or (2) reducing any Applicable Margin to less than zero.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Borrowers, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that the Loans are not, nor shall they be, a deemed sustainability-linked loan unless and until the effectiveness of any KPI Metrics Amendment. Prior to the effectiveness of a KPI Metrics Amendment, the Borrowers will not publish any materials or statements (including on any website of any Borrower, in the financial statements or annual reports of any Borrower or in any press release or public announcement issued by a Borrower) which refer to this Agreement being a sustainability-linked loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Other than (A) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations or (B) reducing any Applicable Margin to less than zero (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to the written consent of "each Lender directly affected thereby", in accordance with Section 12.6(b)), this Section 12.6(f) shall supersede any other clause or provision in Section 12.6 to the contrary, including any provision of Section 12.6(b) requiring the consent of "each Lender directly affected thereby", for reductions in interest rates or fees payable thereunder.

**Section 12.7. Nonliability of Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent and Lenders; No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.**

The relationship between each Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, any Titled Agent or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower, and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent, any Titled Agent or any Lender to any Lender, any Borrower or any Subsidiary. None of the Administrative Agent, any Titled Agent or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform such Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of such Borrower's business or operations.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective Affiliates' understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and any Titled Agent, the

------

Administrative Agent or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether any Titled Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Titled Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Titled Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Titled Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Titled Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Titled Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Titled Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Borrowers hereby waives and release any claims that they may have against any of the Titled Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

**Section 12.8. Confidentiality.**

The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, consultants, service providers and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed Eligible Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Loan or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any insurance, swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law (in which case, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such disclosure is permitted by Applicable Law, inform the Borrower Representative promptly in advance thereof to the extent reasonably practicable and, otherwise, promptly thereafter); (d) to the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives Contract) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any such Specified Derivatives Contract) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any Affiliate of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, which source, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, has not disclosed or acquired such Information in breach of this Section; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or any regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it (provided that, in the case of a rating agency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, inform the Borrower Representative promptly in advance thereof); (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information

------

customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of each Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term "Information" means all information received from the Borrower Representative, any other Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, <u>provided</u>, that, in the case of any such information received from the Borrower Representative, any other Borrower any Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12.8. shall prohibit any person from voluntarily disclosing or providing any information within the scope of this confidentiality provision to any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization to the extent that any such prohibition on disclosure set forth in this confidentiality provision shall be prohibited by the laws or regulations applicable to such governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization.

**Section 12.9. Indemnification.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrowers shall and hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Titled Agents, the respective Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Titled Agents, and their respective Related Parties (each referred to herein as an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the "Indemnified Costs"): losses, costs, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding Indemnified Costs indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.10. or 4.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an "Indemnity Proceeding"), including without limitation any Indemnity Proceeding brought by a Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Affiliate or any third party, which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Fee Letter or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans; (iii) any actual or proposed use by any Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; (iv) the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrowers; (vi) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrowers and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrowers and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letters; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that violates a sanction administered or enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause any Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the

------

Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party (x) for any Indemnified Costs to the extent resulting from such Indemnified Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct or a claim brought by any Borrower against an Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party's obligations hereunder, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or (y) any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties other than (A) any claims against the Titled Agents in their respective capacities, as or in fulfilling their respective roles, as an administrative agent, arranger, bookrunner, syndication agent, documentation agent, issuing bank or any similar role in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of any of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates (in each case under this clause (y), as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Borrower's indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of such Loan Party), any account debtor of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against any Loan Party and/or any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrowers at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by any Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrowers if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of each Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if (i) the Borrowers are required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrowers have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrowers has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrowers where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agree jointly and severally to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each Borrower's obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

**Section 12.11. Severability of Provisions.**

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.

**Section 12.12. GOVERNING LAW.**

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

**Section 12.23. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.**

To the extent that the Loan Documents <u>provide</u> support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivative Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>" and, each such QFC, a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that

------

the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

 (b) As used in this Section 12.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

"<u>BHC Act Affiliate</u>" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"<u>Covered Entity</u>" means any of the following:

 (i) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

 (ii) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

 (iii) a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

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

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

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Effective Date, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make a Loan to the Borrowers in the principal amount set forth for such Lender on Schedule I as such Lender's "Commitment Amount". Upon the funding by each Lender of its Loan on the Effective Date, the Commitment of such Lender shall

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 32 -

------

terminate whether or not the full amount of the Commitments are funded on such date. Any portion of a Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Request for Term Loans</u>. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing requesting that the Lenders make their respective Loans on the Effective Date.

Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be borrowed, the Type of the requested Loans and if such Loans are to be SOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Funding of Term Loans</u>. Promptly after receipt of the Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Loan to be made by such Lender to the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the Effective Date. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested borrowing of Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

With respect to Loans to be made on the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower the amount of such Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Loan, then such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made available to the applicable Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)during such periods as such Loan is a SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the relevant Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans.

**Section 2.13. [Reserved]**.

**Section 2.14. Extension of Maturity Date**.

The Borrowers shall have the right, exercisable two times, to extend the Maturity Date by six months for each extension. The Borrowers may exercise such right only by the Borrower Representative executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days but not more than 180 days prior to the current Maturity Date, a written request for such extension (an "Extension Request"). The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of an Extension Request delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Maturity Date shall be extended for six months effective upon receipt of an Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (b): (a) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Event of Default shall exist and no Default under any of subsections (a), (e) or (f) of Section 10.1. shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents, (b) the Borrowers shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(f) and (c) solely with respect to the exercise of a second extension of the Maturity Date, the "Revolving Termination Date" (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall have been extended (including, for the avoidance of doubt, via an amendment, restatement or other modification to the Existing Credit Agreement) to a date that is no earlier than the new Maturity Date after giving effect to such second extension.

**Section 2.15. [Reserved]**.

**Section 2.16. Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party shall be joint and several, and, accordingly, each Borrower confirms that it is liable for the full amount of the Obligations, regardless of whether incurred by such Borrower or any other Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Borrowers, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Lenders through their collective efforts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be obligated or required before enforcing any Loan Document against a Borrower: (a) to pursue any right or remedy it may have against any other Borrower or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of any other Borrower or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of any other Borrower or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender which may secure any of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)It is the intent of each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that in any proceeding of the types described in Sections 10.1.(e) or 10.1.(f), a Borrower's maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower in such

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 36 -

proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be determined in any such proceeding are referred to as the "Avoidance Provisions". Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of a Borrower hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Borrower shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This subsection is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Borrower hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Borrower or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)To the extent that any Borrower shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of the Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Borrower would otherwise have paid if such Borrower had paid the aggregate amount of Obligations (excluding the amount paid by any other Person) in the same proportion as such Borrower's net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all of the Borrowers on such date, then such Borrower shall be reimbursed by each other Borrower for the amount of such excess pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Borrower on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Each Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Borrower of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

**Section 2.17. Borrower Representative**.

Each Borrower hereby appoints the Parent to act as its agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of Loans and the giving and receiving of notices under or in respect of the Loan Documents) (in such capacity, the "Borrower Representative"). Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Borrower Representative may execute such documents as the Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and with respect to any such document executed by only the Borrower Representative, each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document, (ii) any notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder to the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by the Borrowers or the Borrower Representative. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative without the consent of, or notice to, such Borrower shall not release or discharge such Borrower from its obligations hereunder.

**Section 2.18. [Reserved]**.

**Section 2.19. Additional Loans**.

The Borrowers shall have the right at any time prior to the Maturity Date, to request the making of additional Loans (the "**Additional Loans**"), by the Borrower Representative providing written notice (which may be by telecopy or electronic mail) to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that after giving effect to the making of any Additional Loans, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans shall not exceed $200,000,000 less the amount of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 37 -

------

any optional prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.9. Additional Loans shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of this Agreement that are applicable to all other Loans of the same Class. Each such request to make Additional Loans must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers). The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of the making of Additional Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to the making of Additional Loans, and the allocations of the making of Additional Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to make an Additional Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with the making of Additional Loans must be an Eligible Assignee. Effecting the making of Additional Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of the making of such Additional Loans, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Borrower or such other Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of all corporate, partnership or other necessary action taken by the Borrowers to authorize the borrowing of Additional Loans; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrowers and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iii) new Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any existing Lenders increasing their Loans, in the amount of such Lender's Loan (in each case unless any such Lender requests not to receive such a Note). In connection with the making of any Additional Loans pursuant to this Section, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

**Section 2.20. Funds Transfer Disbursements**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Generally</u>. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of such Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower; or (ii) made in such Borrower's name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by such Borrower. Each Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower to effect a wire

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 38 -

------

or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower Representative or any Borrower. If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, each Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Administrative Agent's confirmation to the Borrower Representative or such Borrower of such transfer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Funds Transfer</u>. The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. The Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority, (iii) cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline or (iv) otherwise cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Limitation of Liability</u>. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be liable to any Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which any Borrower's transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent's or any Lender's control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

**ARTICLE III. Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions**

**Section 3.1. Payments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Payments by Borrowers</u>. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by any Loan Party under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10.), to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 10.5., each Borrower shall, at the time of such Borrower's making a payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by such Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrowers</u>. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due from a Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

**Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment**.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each payment of fees under Section 3.5(f) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them, (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; (c) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 4.1.(c) and 4.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders, as applicable, according to the amounts of their respective Loans, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender's portion of such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.

**Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.**

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to a Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by a Borrower through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of a Borrower to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to other Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the applicable Loans made by such other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., as applicable.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower.

**Section 3.4. Several Obligations**.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 40 -

Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

**Section 3.5. Fees**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Closing Fee</u>. On the Effective Date, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed to in writing by any Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Administrative and Other Fees</u>.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

**Section 3.7. Usury**.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower Representative shall notify the respective Lender in writing that such Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that no Borrower pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by such Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon any Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) and (ii).

**Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders**.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Waivers and Amendments</u>. Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.6. and in the definition of Requisite Lenders, as applicable.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 42 -

------

their pro rata share thereof whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u> that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 12.22., no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

**Section 3.10. Taxes**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Defined Terms</u>. For purposes of this Section, the term "Applicable Law" includes FATCA.

If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties 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 the payment of, any Other Taxes.

The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Indemnification by the Lenders</u>. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.5. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any 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 any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Evidence of Payments</u>. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Status of Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>Treatment of Certain Refunds</u>. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 45 -

------

subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person or to apply for, seek or pursue any refund on behalf of the indemnifying party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

**ARTICLE IV. Yield Protection, Etc.**

**Section 4.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Capital Adequacy</u>. If any Lender or any Participant determines that, as the result of a Regulatory Change, compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or such corporation with regard to capital), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender's or such Participant's obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Additional Costs</u>. In addition to and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay promptly to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Loans or its obligation to make any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "**Additional Costs**"), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the FRB for determining the maximum reserve requirement) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder), or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (other than on account of Taxes) as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Lender's Suspension of SOFR Loans</u>. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on SOFR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes SOFR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>[Reserved]</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Notification and Determination of Additional Costs</u>. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower Representative (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant, the Administrative Agent as well) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Participant pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such Participant, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's or such Participant's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower Representative (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

**Section 4.2. Suspension of SOFR Loans**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability</u>. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of Adjusted Term SOFR for any Interest Period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR (including, without limitation, because SOFR is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)(A) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly represent the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining SOFR Loans for such Interest Period or (B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly represent the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining SOFR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower Representative and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, (w) any obligation of the Lenders to make additional SOFR Loans and the right of the Borrowers to Continue SOFR Loans or Convert Loans into SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods), (x) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Continuation of, or Conversion of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 47 -

Converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to, Base Rate Loans in the amount specified there, and (y) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Benchmark Replacement Setting</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Benchmark Replacement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower Representative so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(i)(A) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)No Derivatives Contract shall be deemed to be a "Loan Document" for purposes of this Section 4.2(b).

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.2(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 48 -

Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon the Borrower Representative's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

**Section 4.3. Illegality**.

If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, Daily /Simple SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower Representative and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of "Base Rate", in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of "Base Rate"), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4.

**Section 4.4. Compensation**.

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 49 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a SOFR Loan by a Borrower, or Conversion of a SOFR Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)any failure by a Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a SOFR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a SOFR Loan or Continue a SOFR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)any failure of a Borrower to prepay any SOFR Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of prepayment, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 4.6.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of a SOFR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such SOFR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such SOFR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same SOFR Loan for the same period if SOFR were set on the date on which such SOFR Loan was repaid, prepaid, Converted or assigned or the date on which a Borrower failed to borrow, Convert into, Continue or prepay such SOFR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate SOFR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower Representative's request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower Representative with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents, and the Fee Letters shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may be selective, and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article X. for the benefit of all the Lenders; <u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) [reserved], (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.3.

**ARTICLE XI. The Administrative Agent**

**Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization**.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms "Agent", "Administrative Agent", "agent" and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 75 -

------

independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII. that the Borrowers or any other Loan Party are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any Affiliate of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; <u>provided</u>, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

**Section 11.2. Wells Fargo as Lender**.

Wells Fargo, as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders, or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or any other Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any of the Borrowers, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

**Section 11.3. Approvals of Lenders**.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender's determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 76 -

------

approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination (other than in respect of any consent required under Section 12.6.(b)).

**Section 11.4. Notice of Events of Default**.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower Representative or any other Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a "notice of default". Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a "notice of default," the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

**Section 11.5. Administrative Agent's Reliance**.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; or (e) shall incur any liability under

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 77 -

------

or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

**Section 11.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent**.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender's respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, "**Indemnifiable Amounts**"); <u>provided</u>, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any "lender liability" suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If any Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

**Section 11.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.**

Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 78 -

------

Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent's legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.

**Section 11.8. Successor Administrative Agent**.

The Administrative Agent may (a) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative or (b) be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and the Borrower Representative upon 30 days' prior written notice if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower Representative's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower Representative shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after (a) the resigning Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, or (b) the Lenders' giving of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 79 -

------

shall be an Eligible Assignee; <u>provided</u>, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that no Lender or Eligible Assignee has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower Representative and each Lender prior written notice.

**Section 11.9. Titled Agents**.

No Titled Agent, in such capacity, assumes any responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender.

**Section 11.10. Specified Derivatives Contracts**.

Except as expressly provided in Section 12.6.(c), no Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 10.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.

**Section 11.11. Erroneous Payments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each Lender, each Specified Derivatives Provider and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider (or any Related Party thereof) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider (each such recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 80 -

------

by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.11(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment"), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent's written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 12.5 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Nothing in this Section 11.11 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient's receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

If any Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of such Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder. This Section 12.2. shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent expenses, losses and similar amounts arising from a non-Tax claim.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION BY ANY PARTY HERETO TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

**Section 12.5. Successors and Assigns**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Successors and Assigns Generally</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Assignments by Lenders</u>. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); <u>provided</u> that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Minimum Amounts</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender's Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in the immediately following clause (B) in the aggregate, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 86 -

------

assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes on a non pro rata basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Required Consents</u>. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or<u>,</u> an Affiliate of <u>a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to</u> a Lender; <u>provided</u>, that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Assignment and Assumption; Notes</u>. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)<u>No Assignment to Certain Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)<u>Certain Additional Payments</u>. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4., 12.2. and 12.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 12.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such

assignment; <u>provided</u>, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Register</u>. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person) or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u> that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender in which such Participant has acquired a participation, or (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 4.1., 4.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; <u>provided</u> that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6. as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at any Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.3. as though it were a Lender; <u>provided</u> that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 88 -

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Limitations upon Participant Rights</u>. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. and 4.1. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative's prior written consent or such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after such Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10. unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.10.(g) as though it were a Lender, and such Participant shall be deemed to be a Lender for purposes of the definition of Excluded Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Certain Pledges</u>. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; <u>provided</u>, that no such pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>No Registration</u>. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)<u>USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance</u>. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

**Section 12.6. Amendments and Waivers**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Generally</u>. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 4.2(b)), (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Consent of Lenders Directly Affected</u>. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)increase (or reinstate) the Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Solely to the extent that the Borrowers shall have exercised their two rights to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.14., the Borrower Representative may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an "Extension") of the maturity date of the Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the applicable Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 and minimum increments of $20,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent)), and (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than fifteen (15) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)). Each Lender shall be offered (an "Extension Offer") an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Loans of Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 12.6.(e) unless such Lender affirmatively accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrowers and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Loan shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date then in

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Loans as a new tranche of Loans and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 12.6.(e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 99 -

Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "**Covered Party**") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

"**Covered Entity**" means any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

**Section 2.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revolving Loans**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Making of Revolving Loans</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.18., each Revolving Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be SOFR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences but subject to Section 2.18., a borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Requests for Revolving Loans</u>. Not later than <u>(x) 10:00 a.m.</u> <u>Eastern time on the date of a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are</u> <u>to be Daily Simple SOFR Loans, (y)</u> 12:00 noon Eastern time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than<u>(z)</u> 12:00 noon Eastern time at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be <u>Term</u> SOFR Loans, the Borrower Representative shall request the borrowing of Revolving Loans by either (i) a telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent, promptly followed by the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing, or (ii) delivering to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the name of the Borrower requesting such Revolving Loans, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the use of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Type of the requested Revolving Loans, and if such Revolving Loans are to be <u>Term</u> SOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the applicable Borrower. Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower Representative may (without specifying whether a Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide the Borrower Representative with the most recent SOFR available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 49 -

------

Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower Representative on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Funding of Revolving Loans</u>. Promptly after receipt of a request for borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Revolving Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender to the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the date of such proposed Revolving Loans. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Assumptions Regarding Funding by Revolving Lenders</u>. With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the applicable Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If a Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Loan included in the borrowing as of the date of the borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reallocations on the &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u><u>Effective</u><u>First Amendment</u> <u>Date</u>. On the Effective<u>First Amendment</u> Date, the "Revolving Commitments" under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement (the "Existing Revolving Commitments") of each of the Revolving Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement (the "Existing Revolving Lenders"), and the outstanding amount of all "Revolving Loans" under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement (the "Existing Outstanding Revolving Loans") and <u>and</u> the participations of the Revolving Lenders in outstanding "Letters of Credit" and outstanding "Swingline Loans", in each case under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders party hereto in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. In order to effect such reallocations, each Revolving Lender whose Revolving Commitment on the Effective<u>First Amendment</u> Date exceeds its Existing Revolving Commitment <u>immediately prior to the First Amendment Date</u> (each an "Assignee RL Lender") shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Existing Revolving Commitments and Existing Outstanding Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lenders whose Revolving Commitments <u>on the First Amendment Date</u> are less than their respective

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 50 -

Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Assignment and Assumptions without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, no documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor RL Lenders and Assignee RL Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to any netting effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments.

In order to effect such reallocations, any Additional Term A Loan Lender and each other Term A Loan Lender whose Term A Loans (as reflected on Schedule I) will be greater than such Term A Loan Lenders "Term A Loans" under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each, an "Assignee TLA Lender") shall be deemed to have purchased at par a portion of all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the "Term A Loan" under the Existing Credit Agreement of any "Term A Lender" under the Existing Credit Agreement which shall not to be a Term A Loan Lender hereunder and each Term A Loan Lender whose Term A Loans (as reflected on Schedule I) will be less than its "Term A Loans" under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each, an "Assignor TLA Lender") so that the principal amount of the Term A Loans of each Term A Loan Lender will be as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Assignment and Assumptions without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, except for replacement Notes to be provided to the Assignee TLA Lenders and, if applicable, the Assignor TLA Lenders, in the principal amounts of their respective Term A Loans upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignee TLA Lenders shall make the proceeds of such purchases available to the Administrative Agent which shall then

make such amounts of the proceeds of such purchases available to the Assignor TLA Lenders as is necessary to purchase in full at par the "Term A Loans" under the Existing Credit Agreement owing to the Assignor TLA Lender. The Assignor TLA Lenders, the Assignee TLA Lenders and the other Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to any netting transactions effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term A Loans shall be held by the Term A Lenders as set forth on Schedule I.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, no Bid Rate Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Rate Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Rate Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Borrower Representative of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which such Bid Rate Quote is being made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notification by Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after the Bid Rate Quotes are submitted (but in any event not later than 10:30 a.m. Eastern time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction or (y) on the date three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a SOFR Auction), notify the Borrower Representative of the terms (i) of any Bid Rate Quote submitted by a Revolving Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.3.(c) and (ii) of any Bid Rate Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Rate Quote submitted by such Revolving Lender with respect to the same Bid Rate Quote Request. Any such subsequent Bid Rate Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Bid Rate Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote. The Administrative Agent's notice to the Borrower Representative shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for which Bid Rate Quotes have been received and (B) the principal amounts and Absolute Rates or SOFR Margins, as applicable, so offered by each Revolving Lender (identifying the Revolving Lender that made each Bid Rate Quote).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Acceptance by Borrower Representative</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a SOFR Auction, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Bid Rate Quotes so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3.(d). which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit M. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Rate Quotes for each Interest Period that are accepted. The failure of the Borrower Representative to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance. The Borrower Representative may accept any Bid Rate Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Rate Quote Request;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.3.(b)(ii) and together with all other Bid Rate Loans then outstanding shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.18. to be violated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;acceptance of Bid Rate Quotes may be made only in ascending order of Absolute Rates or SOFR Margins, as applicable, in each case beginning with the lowest rate so offered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any acceptance in part by the Borrower Representative shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Borrower Representative may not accept any Bid Rate Quote that fails to comply with Section 2.3.(c) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Bid Rate Quotes are made by two or more Revolving Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or SOFR Margins, as applicable, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which Bid Rate Quotes are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such Bid Rate Quotes are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Revolving Lenders in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such Bid Rate Quotes. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Bid Rate Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Obligation to Make Bid Rate Loans</u>. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event not later than (x) 12:00 noon Eastern time on the proposed date of borrowing of Absolute Rate Loans and (y) on the date three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of SOFR Margin Loans) notify each Revolving Lender as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been accepted and the amount and rate thereof. A Revolving Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its Designated Lender (if any) to fund such Bid Rate Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 12.5.(h). Any Designated Lender which funds a Bid Rate Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee in respect of such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Revolving Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Bid Rate Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded. Any Revolving Lender whose offer to make any Bid Rate Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 1:30 p.m. Eastern time on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower to whom such Bid Rate Loan is to be made. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to such Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of such Borrower designated by the Borrower Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Effect on Commitment</u>. Except for the purpose and to the extent expressly stated in Sections 2.13. and 2.18., the amount of any Bid Rate Loan made by any Revolving Lender shall not constitute a utilization of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment.

**Section 2.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Letters of Credit**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Letters of Credit</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.18., each Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, agrees to issue for the accounts of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, one or more standby letters of credit (each a "Letter of Credit") up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $200,000,000 as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof (the "L/C Commitment Amount"); <u>provided</u>, that an Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate Stated Amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed 25.0%<u>one</u> <u>sixth</u> of the L/C Commitment Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Terms of Letters of Credit</u>. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from such Issuing Bank but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the Revolving Termination Date (in which case, such Letter of Credit shall be an "Extended Letter of Credit"), so long as the Borrowers deliver to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of such Issuing Bank and the Lenders no later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. If the Borrowers fail to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) in accordance with the immediately following subsections (i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $100,000 (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit</u>. The Borrower Representative shall give the Issuing Bank selected by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent written notice (or a telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion) prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) Borrower or Subsidiary for whose account such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (ii) initial Stated Amount, (iii) beneficiary, and (iv) expiration date. The Borrower or Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is to be issued shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by such Issuing Bank; provided that in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary, a Borrower shall co-sign the application for such Letter of Credit. Provided the Borrower Representative has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary has delivered such applications and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2., such Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event shall such issuance be required prior to the date five (5) Business Days following the date after which such Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to "issue" and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Borrower Representative, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower Representative a copy

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 56 -

of each issued Letter of Credit issued by it within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reimbursement Obligations</u>. Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank's failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge any Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. Each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, and jointly and severally, agrees to pay and reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under any such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Each Borrower confirms that it shall be obligated to reimburse such Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under any Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder in support of any obligations of, or for the account of, a Subsidiary. Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of the immediately following subsection (i) such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Manner of Reimbursement</u>. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower Representative shall advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank whether or not the applicable Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower Representative shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Borrower Representative fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, or if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article V. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, and the Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available by such Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments</u>. Upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Issuing Banks' Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations</u>. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 57 -

------

applicable Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrowers' obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of such Issuing Bank's or the Administrative Agent's rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against such Issuing Bank any liability to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between any Borrower such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of any Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 12.9., but not in limitation of each Borrower's unconditional obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 58 -

------

immediately preceding subsection (e), no Borrower shall have any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights that any Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Amendments, Etc.</u> The issuance by the applicable Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through such Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders required by Section 12.6. shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5.(e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Lenders' Participation in Letters of Credit</u>. Each Revolving Lender, immediately upon the issuance by the applicable Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit (or in the case of Existing Letters of Credit, upon the Agreement Date), shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank's liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by any Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the second and the last sentences of Section 3.5.(e)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment Obligation of Lenders</u>. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, subject to Section 3.9(d), the maximum amount that any Revolving Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.4.(e) is received by a Revolving Lender not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time, then such Revolving Lender shall make such payment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 59 -

------

available to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection and in respect of its participation interest under the immediately preceding subsection (i), and the Administrative Agent's right to receive the same for the account of such Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 10.1.(e) or (f), (iv) the termination of the Revolving Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any Extended Letter of Credit. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Information to Lenders</u>. Promptly following any change in Letters of Credit outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly deliver the same to each Revolving Lender and the Borrower Representative, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Upon the request of any Revolving Lender from time to time, such Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, such Issuing Bank shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of such Issuing Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Existing Letters of Credit</u>. Each of the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders agrees that each of the letters of credit described on Schedule 2.4.(l) (each an "Existing Letter of Credit") shall, from and after the Original Effective Date, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Extended Letters of Credit</u>. Each Revolving Lender confirms that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i) and (j) shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

**Section 2.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Swingline Loans<u>[Reserved]</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Swingline Loans</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation Section 2.18., each Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 and (ii) the commitment of such Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans made by such Swingline Lender, as such amounts may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment of such Swingline Lender at such time, the Borrowers shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 60 -

------

the account of such Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans</u>. The Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender selected by the Borrower Representative notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall identify the Borrower to obtain the applicable Swingline Loan and shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lender no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower Representative pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent the Administrative Agent and to such Swingline Lender by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. Not later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2. for such borrowing, the applicable Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower Representative in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Interest</u>. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower Representative and the applicable Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing. Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loans (except to the extent a Revolving Lender acquires a participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e)). All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.6. with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower Representative may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc.</u> Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by a Swingline Lender and the Borrower Representative. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and the Borrower Representative may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower Representative must give such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent prior notice thereof (which may be by telephone (promptly followed by a written notice), telecopy or electronic mail) no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the day of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Notes.

(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans</u>. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made; provided that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to pay a Swingline Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower agrees to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and the Borrower Representative may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrowers, the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan may, on

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 61 -

behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably direct each applicable Swingline Lender to act on their behalf), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection. Such Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Loans from a Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing. Not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Revolving Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the applicable Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1.(e) or (f), each Revolving Lender shall purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Revolving Lender's obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1. (e) or (f)), or the termination of any Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the applicable Swingline Lender by any Revolving Lender, such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Overnight Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the applicable Swingline Lender's demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, such Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the applicable Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment of Interest</u>. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrowers for all purposes, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Term SOFR Conforming Changes</u>. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Each Continuation of SOFRR<u>Term SOFR</u> Loans of the same Class shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower Representative giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation.

Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower Representative shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or such Borrower's failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Records</u>. The date, amount, interest rate, Class, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to any Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on such Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of such Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such records of a Lender and the records maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 3.8. and 12.5.(c), in the absence of manifest error, the records maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 3.8. and 12.5.(c) shall be controlling.

------

(which in the case of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $50,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (a "Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice"); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, a Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of a refinancing of all outstanding Revolving Loans, in which case such Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of such Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly after receipt of a Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment reduction. The Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased or reinstated.

**Section 2.14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Extension of Revolving Termination Date**.

The Borrowers shall have the right, exercisable two times, to extend the Revolving Termination Date by six months for each extension. The Borrowers may exercise such right only by the Borrower Representative executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days but not more than 180 days prior to the current Revolving Termination Date, a written request for such extension (an "Extension Request"). The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Revolving Lender a copy of the Extension Request delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Revolving Termination Date shall be extended for six months effective upon receipt of the Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (b): (a) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Event of Default shall exist and no Default under any of subsections (a), (e) or (f) of Section 10.1. shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents and (b) the Borrowers shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(f).

**Section 2.16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party shall be joint and several, and, accordingly, each Borrower confirms that it is liable for the full amount of the Obligations, regardless of whether incurred by such Borrower or any other Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders that the Borrowers, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Lenders through their collective efforts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be obligated or required before enforcing any Loan Document against a Borrower: (a) to pursue any right or remedy it may have against any other Borrower or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of any other Borrower or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of any other Borrower or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender which may secure any of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is the intent of each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders that in any proceeding of the types described in Sections 10.1.(e) or 10.1.(f), a Borrower's maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower in such proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be determined in any such proceeding are referred to as the "Avoidance Provisions". Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of a Borrower hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Borrower shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This subsection is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Borrower hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Borrower or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that any Borrower shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of the Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Borrower would otherwise have paid if such Borrower had paid the aggregate amount of Obligations (excluding the amount paid by any other Person) in the same proportion as such Borrower's net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all of the Borrowers on such date, then such Borrower shall be reimbursed by each other Borrower for the amount of such excess pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Borrower on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 68 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Borrower of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

**Section 2.17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Borrower Representative**.

Each Borrower hereby appoints the Parent to act as its agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of Loans, the issuance of Letters of Credit and the giving and receiving of notices under or in respect of the Loan Documents) (in such capacity, the "Borrower Representative"). Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Borrower Representative may execute such documents as the Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and with respect to any such document executed by only the Borrower Representative, each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document, (ii) any notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder to the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by the Borrowers or the Borrower Representative. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative without the consent of, or notice to, such Borrower shall not release or discharge such Borrower from its obligations hereunder.

Each Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower; or (ii) made in such Borrower's name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by such Borrower. Each Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower Representative or any Borrower. If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, each Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Administrative Agent's confirmation to the Borrower Representative or such Borrower of such transfer.

In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee to a Defaulting Lender that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such

Defaulting Lender's participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank's or Swingline Lender's Fronting Exposure in respect of such Defaulting Lender, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure</u>. If such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans that has not been funded by such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 12.22., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, within 2 Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks' Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Banks with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for such Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Banks with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 78 -

sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Banks' Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Banks may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Defaulting Lender Cure</u>. If the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks, agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the applicable Class of the other applicable Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)), or pro rata share thereof, as applicable, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 12.22., no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>New</u> <u>Swingline Loans/</u><u>Letters of Credit</u>. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Purchase of Defaulting Lender's Commitment</u>. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers may, by the Borrower Representative giving notice (which may be by telephone (promptly followed by a written notice), telecopy or electronic mail) thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting

Lender assign its Revolving Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 12.5.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Defaulting Lender to execute the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting Lender does not promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender fails to deliver any Notes held by it, such Notes shall automatically be deemed canceled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify the Borrowers for any liabilities incurred by the Borrowers by reason of the failure of such Lender to deliver such Notes). The exercise by the Borrowers of their rights under this Section shall be at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the other Lenders.

**Section 3.10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Taxes**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Defined Terms</u>. For purposes of this Section, the term "Lender" includes the Issuing Banks and the term "Applicable Law" includes FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payments Free of Taxes</u>. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower</u>. The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties 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 the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification by the Borrower</u>. The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification by the Lenders</u>. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.5. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any 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 any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Evidence of Payments</u>. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Status of Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection 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

Each party's obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

**Section 3.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sustainability Pricing**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is understood and agreed that the Applicable Margin will never be reduced by more than 0.02% pursuant to the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment during any Reference Year. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin by reason of meeting one or several Sustainability Ratings or Sustainability Rating Change in any year shall not be cumulative year over year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If (i)(A) any Borrower or any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment, the Sustainability Ratings or the Sustainability Rating Change as reported in a Compliance Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a "Sustainability Certification Inaccuracy") and, in the case of any Lender, such Lender delivers, not later than 10 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the Sustainability Agent describing such Sustainability Certification Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Lender and the Parent), or (B) the Borrowers and the Lenders agree that there was a Sustainability Certification Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Compliance Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Applicable Sustainability Adjustment, the Sustainability Ratings or the Sustainability Rating Change would have resulted in no adjustment in the Applicable Margin for any period, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non U.S. Debtor Relief Laws), automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Parent has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Sustainability Certification Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.

It is understood and agreed that any Sustainability Certification Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default or otherwise result in the failure of any condition precedent to any Borrowing or the issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, that, the Borrowers comply with the terms of this Section with respect to such Sustainability Certification Inaccuracy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Sustainability Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by any Borrower of any Applicable Sustainability Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Compliance Certificate (and the Sustainability Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Additional Costs</u>. In addition to and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay promptly to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Loans or its obligation to make any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the FRB for determining the maximum reserve requirement) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder), or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (other than on account of Taxes) as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Lender's Suspension of SOFR Loans and SOFR Margin Loans</u>. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes SOFR Loans or SOFR Margin Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice

to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans and/or the obligation of a Revolving Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote to make SOFR Margin Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit</u>. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes) and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Banks of issuing (or any Revolving Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay immediately to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notification and Determination of Additional Costs</u>. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower Representative (and in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant, the Administrative Agent as well) of any event occurring after the Agreement<u>First Amendment</u> Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender, a Participant or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, such Participant or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's, such Participant's or such Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower Representative (and in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower Representative so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders.

**Section 4.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Illegality**.

If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower Representative and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make <u>Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term</u> SOFR Loans, <u>as the case may be,</u> and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a <u>Daily Simple</u> SOFR Loan or <u>Term SOFR Loan,</u> <u>as the case may be,</u> <u>or</u> continue any Loan as a <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of "Base Rate", in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all <u>Daily Simple</u> SOFR Loans<u>, if applicable</u><u>,</u> to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of "Base Rate") <u>or convert all Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, to Daily Simple SOFR Loans, if available (or, otherwise, to Base Rate Loans)</u>, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such <u>Term</u> SOFR Loans, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such <u>Term</u> SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any failure by a Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan or Continue a SOFR<u>Term OFR</u> Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any failure of a Borrower to prepay any <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice of prepayment; or

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, (i) in the case of a <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan for the same period if <u>Term</u> SOFR were set on the date on which such <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan was repaid, prepaid, Converted or assigned or the date on which a Borrower failed to borrow, Convert into, Continue or prepay such <u>Term</u> SOFR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate <u>Term</u> SOFR quoted on such date and (ii) in the case of a Bid Rate Loan, the sum of such losses and expenses as the Lender or Designated Lender who made such Bid Rate Loan may reasonably incur by reason of such prepayment, including without limitation any losses or expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties. Upon the Borrower Representative's request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower Representative with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, if applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1.(c) or 4.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender's SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender's <u>Daily Simple SOFR Loans or</u> Base Rate Loans<u>, as the case may be,</u> shall be automatically Converted, <u>immediately, in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans,</u> on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding <u>Term</u> SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding <u>the respective</u> SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Class, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the obligation<u>obligations</u> of a Revolving Lender to make SOFR Margin Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.<u>4.1.</u>(c) or 4.2.<u>4.2.</u>, then the SOFR Margin Loans of such Lender shall be automatically due and payable on such date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower Representative by written notice with a copy to the Administrative Agent.

**Section 4.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Affected Lenders**.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 4.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) or 4.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections or (c) a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower Representative may demand that such Lender (the "Affected Lender"), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Revolving Commitment or Revolving Commitments to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender, any other Lender, or any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Affected Lender to execute the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Affected Lender if such Affected Lender does not promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender fails to deliver any Notes held by it, such Notes shall automatically be deemed canceled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify the

The exercise by the Borrowers of their rights under this Section shall be at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit any Borrower's obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 4.1., or 4.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

**Section 4.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Change of Lending Office**.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrowers or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;payments of principal of all other Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other Letter of Credit Liabilities, and Specified Derivatives Obligations to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Specified Derivatives Providers, as the case may be; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this subsection are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;amounts due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 11.6. and 12.9. to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders;

**Section 10.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Letter of Credit Collateral Account**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, each Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders as provided herein, and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Issuing Banks as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders; <u>provided</u>, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, each Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse each Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Requisite Revolving Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to liquidate and release any such amounts if such liquidation or release would result in the amount available in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account being less than the Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

<sup>3</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>NTD: The deletion of clauses (b) and (d) of this Section 10.5 in the First Amendment are technical amendments deemed made pursuant to Section 12.6(d).</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower Representative, deliver to the Borrowers within 10 Business Days after the Administrative Agent's receipt of such request from the Borrower Representative, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Revolving Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the fourth sentence of Section 2.4.(b) for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Revolving Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Revolving Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or funded participations of the Revolving Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations (other than contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent's administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

**Section 10.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Performance by Administrative Agent**.

If any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Borrower Representative, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, such Borrower or such other Loan Party shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

**Section 10.8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rights Cumulative**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents, and the Fee Letters shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may be selective, and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 120 -

------

exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article X. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; <u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article X. and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

**ARTICLE XI. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT**

**Section 11.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Appointment and Authorization**.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms "Agent", "Administrative Agent", "agent" and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII. that the Borrowers or any other Loan Party are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 121 -

------

Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any Affiliate of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; <u>provided</u>, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

**Section 11.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wells Fargo as Lender**.

Wells Fargo, as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Banks, other Lenders, or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or any other Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. The Issuing Banks and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any of the Borrowers, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

**Section 11.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approvals of Lenders**.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender's determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 122 -

------

and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination (other than in respect of any consent required under Section 12.6.(b)).

**Section 11.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notice of Events of Default**.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower Representative or any other Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a "notice of default". Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a "notice of default," the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

**Section 11.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Administrative Agent's Reliance**.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither<u>none of</u> the Administrative Agent nor any of its <u>, the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> <u>or any of their respective</u> directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent <u>and the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither<u>None of</u> the Administrative Agent nor<u>, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or</u> any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; or (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 123 -

------

telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

**Section 11.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification of Administrative Agent**.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent <u>and the Sustainability Agent</u> (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender's respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent <u>or the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> (in its capacity as Administrative Agent <u>or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as the case may be,</u> but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent <u>or the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> under the Loan Documents (collectively, "Indemnifiable Amounts"); <u>provided</u>, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent's <u>or Sustainability Structuring Agent's</u> gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent <u>and the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent <u>or the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u>) incurred by the Administrative <u>Agent or the Sustainability Structuring</u> Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent <u>or Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any "lender liability" suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent<u>, the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent<u>, the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent <u>or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as the case may be,</u> notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent <u>or Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent <u>or Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> that the Administrative <u>Agent or Sustainability Structuring</u> Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent <u>or Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If any Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent <u>or Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent <u>or the Sustainability Structuring Agent</u> in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 124 -

Administrative Agent <u>or the Sustainability Structuring Agent, as the case may be,</u> shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

**Section 11.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lender Credit Decision, Etc.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(a)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent may (a<u>i</u>) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative or (b<u>ii</u>) be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and the Borrower Representative upon 30 days' prior written notice if the

Administrative Agent (i<u>A</u>) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii<u>B</u>) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower Representative's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower Representative shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after (a<u>I</u>) the resigning Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, or (b<u>II</u>) the Lenders' giving of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; <u>provided</u>, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that no Lender or Eligible Assignee has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that such Lenders and Issuing Banks so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or such Issuing Bank were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such successor Administrative Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Administrative Agent, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Administrative Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Any resignation by the Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as an Issuing Bank and as a Swingline Lender by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the "Resigning Lender"). Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of an Issuing Bank and a Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) a successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as a Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower Representative and each Lender prior written notice.

**Section 11.9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Titled Agents**.

No Titled Agent, in such capacity, assumes any responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender.

**Section 11.10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specified Derivatives Contracts**.

Except as expressly provided in Section 12.6.(c), no Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 10.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.

**Section 11.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Erroneous Payments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender, each Issuing Bank, each Specified Derivatives Provider and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider (or any Related Party thereof) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider (each such recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.11(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment"), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 127 -

------

knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent's written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 12.5 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 128 -

------

or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.11 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each party's obligations under this Section 11.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing in this Section 11.11 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient's receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

**Section 11.12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sustainability Structuring Agent**.

<u>The Sustainability Structuring Agent will (i) assist the Borrowers in determining the KPI Metrics Pricing Provisions in connection with the KPI Metrics Amendment and (ii) assist the Borrowers in preparing informational materials focused on environmental targets to be used in connection with the KPI Metrics Amendment, in each case, based upon the information provided by the Borrowers with respect to the applicable KPIs selected in accordance with Section 12.6(f); provided that the Sustainability Structuring Agent (x) shall have no duty to ascertain, inquire into or otherwise independently verify any such information and (y) shall have no responsibility for (and shall not be liable for) the completeness or accuracy of any such information.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the consent of the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment.

If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Assignment to Certain Persons</u>. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries other than to the Unrestricted Subsidiary or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Certain Additional Payments</u>. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and, in the case of a Revolving Lender, participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4., 12.2. and 12.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 12.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Register</u>. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower

Representative and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person) or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (x) increase such Lender's Revolving Commitment in which such Participant has acquired a participation, (y) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender in which such Participant has acquired a participation, or (z) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 4.1., 4.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6. as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at any Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.3. as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Limitations upon Participant Rights</u>. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. and 4.1. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative's prior written consent or such entitlement to

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 138 -

receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after such Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10. unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.10.(g) as though it were a Lender, and such Participant shall be deemed to be a Lender for purposes of the definition of Excluded Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Certain Pledges</u>. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; <u>provided</u>, that no such pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Registration</u>. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Designated Lenders</u>. Any Revolving Lender (each, a "Designating Lender") may at any time while one of the Borrowers has been assigned an Investment Grade Rating from either S&P or Moody's designate one Designated Lender to fund Bid Rate Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this subsection, and the provisions in the immediately preceding subsections (b) and (d) shall not apply to such designation. No Designating Lender may designate more than one Designated Lender. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, whereupon (i) each Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Designating Lender a Bid Rate Note payable to the Designated Lender, or its registered assignees, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a right to make Bid Rate Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.3. after any Borrower has accepted a Bid Rate Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then due and payable; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 11.6. and any sums otherwise payable to any Borrower by the Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the agent of the Designated Lender and shall on behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Lender: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Lender and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as agent for the Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf and shall be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 139 -

binding on the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Lender may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Lender. The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Lender or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (x) one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Designated Lender and (y) the Revolving Termination Date. In connection with any such designation, the Designating Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such designation in the amount of $2,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Unrestricted Subsidiary</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the purchase of any portion of any Loans or Commitments by the Unrestricted Subsidiary, and the Unrestricted Subsidiary's status as a "Lender" for all purposes under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be subject to the following provisions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Voting Rights; Communication</u>. For purposes of any proposed amendment, consent, waiver or other modification hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or any other vote, consent, request, demand, authorization or direction hereunder (including, without limitation, any vote, consent, request, demand, authorization or direction with respect to any of the matters set forth in Section 12.6.) or under any other Loan Document, the Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed at all times to be a Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the Unrestricted Subsidiary's right to vote on matters described herein), and the Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not have any right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not be permitted, entitled or have any rights to (x) attend or participate in any formal or informal meetings of the other Lenders, (y) receive or participate in any communications between or among the Administrative Agent and/or the other Lenders or (z) receive, or rely upon, any information, whether written or oral, disseminated during, or relating to, any such meetings or communications, or receive any reports, analyses, opinions or other work product prepared by any consultant, agent or attorney for the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and the Unrestricted Subsidiary's sole entitlement to receive any information is limited exclusively to information prepared by any Borrower and made available to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders; provided, that this clause (i) shall not in any way limit the Unrestricted Subsidiary's ability or right to receive or rely upon information that is available to the public.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Extinguishment of Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan upon an Event of Default. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a default under any of the provisions set forth on Annex 2 to each Unrestricted Subsidiary Assignment Agreement, the outstanding principal amount of all Unrestricted Subsidiary Loans shall be immediately and without further action extinguished and retired (an "Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement") and the Unrestricted Subsidiary shall thereafter not have any further rights as a Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary Loans that are the subject of an Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement (the "Retired Loans"), subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all Commitments and Letter of Credit Liabilities associated with Retired Loans and all obligations of the Unrestricted Subsidiary in connection with such Retired

Loans shall remain in full force and effect after an Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement; provided, that no subsequent funding made by the Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to such Commitments and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be deemed to be a Loan for the purposes of this Agreement and any such subsequent funding and/or Obligation relating to such funding shall instead be deemed to be immediately extinguished and retired;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from and after the date of any Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement and subject to the terms of clause (i) of Section 12.5.(i), solely for purposes of calculating all Commitments, Letter of Credit Liabilities and Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Unrestricted Subsidiary and the other Lenders only, and for purposes of calculating the allocation of any prepayments of Revolving Loans, the principal amount of all Retired Loans shall be deemed to be outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement shall increase, decrease or otherwise affect the Revolving Commitment Percentages or participation interest in any Letter of Credit or any Swingline Loan of the Unrestricted Subsidiary or any other Lender as they exist immediately prior to the applicable Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement (with respect to the Unrestricted Subsidiary and each other Lender, its "Retirement Date Commitment Percentages") and, from and after the date of any Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement, (i) the Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Unrestricted Subsidiary shall equal the Retirement Date Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Unrestricted Subsidiary on the date immediately prior to the applicable Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement and (ii) the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of the other Lenders shall equal the applicable Retirement Date Commitment Percentages of such other Lenders on the date immediately prior to the applicable Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan Retirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Subordination</u>. All Unrestricted Subsidiary Loans, upon the acquisition thereof by the Unrestricted Subsidiary, shall immediately and automatically become fully and completely junior and subordinate in both payment and priority to the Loans or portions thereof and all other Obligations held by the other Lenders. The Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not receive, and none of the Borrowers shall make, any payment in cash or otherwise (including principal, interest and fees) on account of any Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan until all outstanding Loans and Obligations owed to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders have been repaid in full (other than contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable) and all Commitments (other than the Commitments of the Unrestricted Subsidiary), and this Agreement (other than with respect to the Unrestricted Subsidiary), have all been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, and any payments received by the Unrestricted Subsidiary in contravention of the foregoing shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt; provided, however, that any Borrower may, from time to time, make "Deemed Repayments" on Unrestricted Subsidiary Loans, as defined in and in accordance with clause (vi) below. The Unrestricted Subsidiary waives any rights to a pro rata share or any other share of any payment of any amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it may otherwise be entitled and further waives any rights it may have under Sections 3.2. and 3.3. The Unrestricted Subsidiary further agrees that it shall not exercise any right of set off or recoupment it may have hereunder or under Applicable Law.

All Revolving Loans shall be made pursuant to Section 2.1. and all Term Loans shall be made pursuant to Section 2.2.; provided, however, subject to clause (v) below, (1) all fundings of Loans by Lenders under this Agreement shall be net of the pro rata share of such Loans that is required to be funded by the Unrestricted Subsidiary and (2) the Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to fund such pro rata share of each Loan directly to the Borrowers. The Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not have the right to make or offer to make any Bid Rate Loans. In no event shall any Lender be required to make any Revolving Loan in excess of its Revolving Commitment.

(a) Prior to or simultaneously with the Borrower Representative delivering any Notice of Swingline Borrowing under Section 2.5. or the issuance of a Letter of Credit requested by the Borrower Representative under Section 2.4., in each case subsequent to the Unrestricted Subsidiary acquiring an Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, and (b) with respect to any Swingline Loan and/or any Letter of Credit outstanding on or prior to the date the Unrestricted Subsidiary acquires an Unrestricted Subsidiary Loan in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility and as a condition to the extension or issuance of (or amendment or modification to) such Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit (and no Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall have any obligation to extend, issue, amend or modify any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit until), the Unrestricted Subsidiary shall deposit with the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender, as secured parties in respect of such cash collateral, all amounts that the Unrestricted Subsidiary may be required to fund as a Lender under such Sections as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. On the date that any Swingline Loan is funded, or if a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs, as applicable, the Administrative Agent is authorized to use the monies deposited pursuant to this clause (v) to fund the Unrestricted Subsidiary's share of such Swingline Loan or drawing, or to make payment to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.4., as applicable and on such date the Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to have made Revolving Loans to the applicable Borrower in an amount equal to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, Lenders other than the Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not in any event be liable in any way for the Unrestricted Subsidiary's failure to fund amounts that it is required to fund as a Lender under the Loan Documents. To the extent that any interest or other amounts shall accrue on the amounts deposited pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (v), they shall accrue for the benefit of and shall be paid to the Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Unrestricted Subsidiary shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent's administration of the account into which such amounts are deposited.

Each Deemed Repayment shall be in an amount equal to (A) the applicable Cash Repayment, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Unrestricted Subsidiary's Revolving Commitment Percentage in the case of Revolving Loans, or Term Loan Percentage in the case of Term Loans, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Revolving Commitment Percentages in the case of Revolving Loans, or Term Loan Percentages in the case of Term Loans, of the other Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment or prepayment in respect of any Revolving Loans or Term Loans, the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, shall not be held by the Lenders (including the Unrestricted Subsidiary) pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, then such payment or repayment

Any payment or repayment of the principal of Revolving Loans or Term Loans (including any Deemed Repayments made to the Unrestricted Subsidiary) made by any Borrower shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2. In calculating the application of such payments and taking into account the agreement of the Unrestricted Subsidiary to subordinate its receipt of payments on the Unrestricted Subsidiary Loans, the aggregate amount of any payment or repayment of the principal amount of Loans made by any Borrower shall consist of (x) a cash component equal to the full amount paid by such Borrower to be distributed to the Lenders (other than the Unrestricted Subsidiary) on account of such Loans (the "Cash Repayment") and (y) a deemed payment or repayment of principal of such Loans (each, a "Deemed Repayment") held by the Unrestricted Subsidiary.

**Section 12.23.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs**.

To the extent that the Loan Documents <u>provide</u> support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivative Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>" and, each such QFC, a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As used in this Section 12.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

"<u>BHC Act Affiliate</u>" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"<u>Covered Entity</u>" means any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

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

Any such KPI Metrics Amendment shall become effective upon (i) receipt by the Revolving Lenders of a lender presentation or memorandum in regard to the KPI Metrics and SPTs from the Borrowers no later than ten (10) Business Days before the proposed effective date of such proposed KPI Metrics Amendment, (ii) the posting of such proposed KPI Metrics Amendment to all Revolving Lenders and the Borrowers, (iii) the identification, and engagement at the Borrowers' cost and expense, of a sustainability assurance provider, which shall be a qualified external reviewer of nationally recognized standing, independent of the Borrowers and their Affiliates and (iv) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of executed signature pages and consents to such KPI Metrics Amendment from</u> <u>the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and</u> <u>Lenders comprising at least the Requisite Revolving Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any such KPI Metrics Amendment, based on the Borrowers' performance against the KPI Metrics and SPTs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) (such adjustments, the "KPI Metrics Applicable Rate Adjustments") to the otherwise applicable Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and the Applicable Facility Fee may be made; provided that (x) the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to a KPI Metrics Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than (i) 0.030% in the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans during any fiscal year or (ii) 0.010% in the Applicable Facility Fee, in each case, which pricing adjustments shall be shall be applied in accordance with the terms as further described in the KPI Metrics Pricing Provisions and (y) in no event shall any Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee be less than zero (the provisions of this proviso, the "Sustainability Adjustment Limitations").</u> <u>For the avoidance of doubt,</u> <u>the KPI Metrics Applicable Rate Adjustments</u> <u>shall not be cumulative year-over-year and shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.</u> <u>The KPI Metrics, the Borrowers' performance against the KPI Metrics, and any related KPI Metrics Applicable Rate Adjustments resulting therefrom, will be determined based on certain Borrower certificates, reports and other documents, in each case, setting forth the KPI Metrics in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles, including with respect to the selection, setting, calculation, certification and measurement thereof. Following the effectiveness of a KPI Metrics Amendment, any modification to the KPI Metrics Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Revolving Lenders so long as such modification does not have the effect of (1) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations set forth in the KPI Metrics Amendment or (2) reducing any Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee to less than zero.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrowers, the Sustainability Structuring</u> <u>Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders</u> <u>agree that the Loans are not, nor shall they be, a deemed sustainability-linked</u>

**<u>Section 12.25.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revolving Facility Amend and Extend</u>**<u>.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Solely to the extent that the Borrowers shall have exercised their two rights to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.14., the Borrower Representative may, by written notice to</u> <u>the Administrative Agent from time to time</u><u>, request an extension (each, an "Extension") of the maturity date of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the applicable Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 and minimum increments of $20,000,000</u> <u>in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the</u> <u>Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent)), and (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than fifteen (15) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)). Each Revolving Lender shall be offered (an "Extension Offer") an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on</u> <u>the same terms and conditions</u> <u>as each other Revolving Lender pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the</u> <u>Administrative Agent and the Borrowers</u><u>. If the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans in respect of which Revolving Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of Revolving Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Revolving Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no</u> <u>Default or Event of Default</u> <u>shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be</u>

<u>true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such effective date of such Extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder and (C) the terms of Extended Loans shall comply with subclause (c) of this Section 12.25. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,</u> <u>in no event shall the</u> <u>Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 12.25 unless such Revolving Lender affirmatively accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Revolving Lender to respond to any such Extension Offer shall</u> <u>be deemed to be a</u> <u>rejection by such Revolving Lender of such Extension Offer.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrowers and the applicable extending Revolving Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Loan shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date then in effect for the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, (B) [reserved], (C) the Extended Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Loans and the borrowers and guarantors of the Extended Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrowers and Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Loans, as applicable, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Loans shall be determined by the Borrowers and the applicable extending Revolving Lenders, (E) the Extended Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Revolving Loans and (F) the terms of the Extended Loans shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in sub-clauses (A) through (E) above).</u>

(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with any Extension, the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Revolving Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension (including, without limitation, legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the First Amendment Date). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Revolving Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Loans as a new tranche of Commitments and Loans and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 12.25.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Amendment of Administrative Agent's Duties, Etc</u>. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4. or the obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of each Issuing Bank. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that affects the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a manner or to an extent materially dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender.

No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower Representative or any other Borrower or any other Loan Party shall entitle the Borrower Representative or such other Borrower or such other Loan Party to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Borrowers) may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Conforming Changes or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 4.2(b) in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Technical Amendments</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.6., if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers have jointly identified a mistake or ambiguity in any provision of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision to cure such ambiguity or correct such provision so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.
