Guarantee, or permit any Guarantee to expire or lapse, during the Guarantee Period without the prior written consent of the Purchased Entity (and, in the case of an amendment or modification of such Guarantee on terms that are not less favorable to the Purchased Entity or its applicable Subsidiaries than those in effect prior to any such amendment or modification, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (B) if any Contract containing or underlying a Guarantee is extended or renewed during the Guarantee Period, then the obligation of Seller to maintain or to cause its Affiliates to maintain such Guarantee will continue and remain in place solely for the remainder of the Guarantee Period, and solely on terms that are not materially less favorable to Seller or its applicable Affiliates than those in effect prior to any such extension or renewal; and (C) neither the Purchased Entity nor any of its Subsidiaries shall agree to any extension or renewal of any Contract containing or underlying a Guarantee that would result in (1) such Guarantee remaining in place past the expiration of the Guarantee Period, unless the Purchased Entity or its Subsidiaries have agreed to replace such Guarantee and assume all obligations underlying such Guarantee, in each case from and after the end of the Guarantee Period, or (2) an amendment or modification to such Guarantee in a manner materially adverse to the Seller or its Affiliates.”

Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment constitutes an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties under Section 11.4 of the Purchase Agreement. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Purchase Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof as in existence on the date hereof. From and after the date hereof, all references to the Purchase Agreement, and each reference in the Purchase Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”, “hereto”, “herewith”, “hereunder” and derivative or similar words, shall refer to the Purchase Agreement as amended hereby. Each reference in the Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, to “the date of this Agreement”, “the date hereof” or any similar reference shall continue to refer to July 5, 2023.
