Schedule I

Definitions

“Adjusted Term SOFR” means, for purposes of any calculation, the rate per annum equal to (a) the Term SOFR for such calculation plus (b) 0.11%; provided, that if Adjusted Term SOFR as so determined shall ever be less than zero, then Adjusted Term SOFR shall be deemed to be zero.

“Eligible Interest Rate Cap Agreement” means, at any time, an Interest Rate Cap entered into by the Borrower that meets all of the following conditions: (i) it is in substantially the form as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; (ii) it has a fixed rate at the time of purchase of such Interest Rate Cap no greater than the applicable Maximum Interest Rate Strike Price; (iii) it designates “Term SOFR” as the floating rate option with a designated maturity of one month; (iv) it provides that any Interest Rate Cap Payments shall be made directly to the Collection Account; and (v) it includes an acknowledgment by the Interest Rate Cap Provider of the collateral assignment of the applicable Interest Rate Cap by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders.

“SOFR” shall mean a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the SOFR Administrator (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate).

“SOFR Administrator” shall mean the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate).

“SOFR Disruption Event” means, with respect to any Interest Period, any of the following: (i) a determination by any Lender that it would be contrary to law or to the directive of any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) to make, fund or maintain Loans by reference to Term SOFR during such Interest Period, (ii) the failure of the source listed in the definition of “Term SOFR” to publish the Term SOFR Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period, or (iii) a determination by any Lender acting reasonably that Term SOFR does not accurately reflect the cost to such Person of making, funding or maintaining its Loans for such Interest Period.

“Term SOFR” shall mean with respect to any Interest Period, the Term SOFR Reference Rate for a one- month interest period on the day (such day, the “Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day”) that is two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of each calendar month, as such rate is published by the Term SOFR Administrator; provided, however, that if as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day the Term SOFR Reference Rate for the applicable tenor has not been published by the Term SOFR Administrator then Term SOFR will be the Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor as published by the Term SOFR Administrator on the first preceding Business Day for which such Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor was published by the Term SOFR Administrator so long as such first preceding Business Day is not more than three (3) Business Days prior to such Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day.

“Term SOFR Administrator” shall mean CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA) (or a successor administrator of the Term SOFR Reference Rate selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).

“Term SOFR Reference Rate” shall mean the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR.

Schedule II

Section 2.5

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Loans shall accrue interest daily in an amount equal to the product of (A) the unpaid principal amount thereof as of such day and (B) the Adjusted Term SOFR for such period (unless a Term SOFR Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, in which case such rate shall be the Prime Rate) plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Paying Agent shall provide to Company on each Interest Rate Determination Date the Adjusted Term SOFR.

(e) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the circumstances giving rise to a SOFR Disruption Event have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances giving rise to a SOFR Disruption Event have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the SOFR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the SOFR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to establish an alternate rate of interest to Term SOFR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, until such an amendment becomes effective, the Loans will continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Schedule III

Section 5.17

Interest Rate Cap Agreement. If Term SOFR in effect on any date is greater than or equal to 3.0%, the Borrower shall within thirty (30) days thereafter (i) enter into and maintain in full force and effect one or more Interest Rate Caps, each with an Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider and each of which satisfies the definition of Eligible Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the aggregate notional amount of which, when taken together, is at least equal to the aggregate Commitments, and shall comply with the terms thereof, and (ii) assign to the Administrative Agent, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in each Interest Rate Cap, such that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under each Interest Rate Cap for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates, to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which collateral assignment shall terminate upon the repayment of all amounts owing under this Agreement; provided, however that if (i) any Interest Rate Cap Provider ceases to be an Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider or (ii) any Interest Rate Cap Provider fails to make a payment when due under the applicable Interest Rate Cap, the Borrower shall within thirty (30) days (x) cause such Person to assign its obligations under the related Interest Rate Cap to a new Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider or (y) obtain a substitute Eligible Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider, including the related Eligible Interest Rate Cap Provider’s acknowledgment of the collateral assignment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of such Eligible Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
