-2-
        



““Amendment No. 9 Effective Date”: means April 5, 2019.”
(c)    remove the definition of “Class C Revolving Commitment” and replace it in its entirety with the below:

The aggregate Class C Revolving Commitments of all Class C Lenders shall be $1,845,700,000 on the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date, as such amount may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.”

(h)    remove the penultimate sentence of Section 2.25(a) of the Credit Agreement and replace it in its entirety with the below:
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Revolving Facilities obtained after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date shall not exceed $280,000,000.”

Section 2.    Consent to the New Revolving Lender and other Amendments set forth herein.
(a)    The Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Borrower hereby consent to the New Revolving Lender becoming a “Lender” and providing Class C Revolving Commitments under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
(b)    The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Existing Lenders party hereto constituting the Required Lenders (including each Fronting Bank) hereby consent to each of the amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth herein, including, without limitation the Incremental Revolving Facilities provided hereby and the increase in the L/C Commitment.
Section 3.    New Revolving Commitments. The New Revolving Lender has agreed (on a several and not joint basis), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, to provide the New Revolving Lender Commitment in the amount set forth opposite its name on Exhibit B hereto.

The participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit shall be adjusted in accordance with each Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage as reallocated in accordance with such increase of the Total Revolving Commitments.
