1We are writing to you in your capacity as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this letter, terms defined in the Credit Agreement have the same meaning when used in this letter. The term “CAD CDOR Loans” in this letter shall mean loans that are borrowed in Canadian Dollars that use the CDOR Rate as an interest rate and the term “CAD Loans” in this letter shall mean loans that are borrowed in Canadian Dollars.

2The Borrowers each acknowledge that Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited, as administrator of the CDOR rate, has announced that it will cease publication of all tenors of CDOR after the publication on June 28, 2024 (the “2024 CDOR Cessation”).

3For good and valuable consideration, including delaying the incurrence of costs required to update the terms of the Credit Agreement in connection with the 2024 CDOR Cessation, and in lieu of amending or waiving any term of the Credit Agreement, each of the Borrowers agree with effect, as of the date hereof, to suspend its following rights under the Credit Agreement:

(a)each of the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, (i) from and after the date hereof, CAD CDOR Loans shall not be available under the Credit Agreement and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Borrowing under the Credit Agreement of CAD CDOR Loans and (ii) any and all outstanding CAD CDOR Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid by the Borrowers on or before the date hereof (this clause (a), the “Suspension of Rights”); and

(b)each of the Borrowers agree that, if a notice or instruction is given under the Credit Agreement on or after the date hereof that selects CDOR as the interest rate for a CAD Loan, such notice or instruction shall be deemed to be


ineffective as the interest rate of that Loan and agrees that only such amended notice or instruction will have effect under the Credit Agreement.
