(c)  Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewals thereof for additional periods of one year in the absence of a notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the contrary so long as the final expiry of such Letter of Credit is not later than the date referred to in clause (ii) of this sentence (and the applicable Issuing Bank is hereby directed to give any notice required in order that the expiry of any Letter of Credit will not be later than such date); provided further that no Letter of Credit may expire after the Existing Maturity Date applicable to any Declining Bank if, after giving effect to such issuance, renewal or extension the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Banks (including any Replacement Lenders) that will be in effect following such Existing Maturity Date would be less than the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after such Existing Maturity Date.

(d)  Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Banks, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank’s Proportional Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Bank’s Proportional Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in Section 2.03(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason.  Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligations to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit and to make payments in respect of such acquired participations is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)  Reimbursement.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $10,000,000, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.01 that such payment be financed with a Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing.  If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Bank’s Proportional Share thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Proportional Share of the payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Banks), and the Administrative Agent shall

promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Alternate Base Rate Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)  Obligations Absolute.  The Company’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.03(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company’s obligations hereunder.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Banks or any Issuing Bank, or any of their affiliates, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined in a final, non-appealable judgement that an Issuing Bank acted (or failed to act) in gross negligence or willful misconduct, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)  Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or e-mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)  Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.03(e), then Section 3.02 shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Bank to the extent of such payment.

(i)  Replacement of Issuing Banks.  Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(b).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and such previous Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j)  Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Banks with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Banks, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in clause (e) or (f) of Article VIII.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option of the Administrative Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Banks with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement.  If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(l)  Applicability of International Standby Practices and Uniform Customs and Practice.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Bank and the Company at the time a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice shall apply to Documentary Credits, in each case, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce.

SECTION 2.04.  General Terms Relating to the Loans.  (a)  Each Borrowing made by the Company on any Borrowing Date shall be, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, in an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000; provided that a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.03(e).  Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by the Banks ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments on the Borrowing Date of the Revolving Credit Borrowing; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Bank of its obligation to lend hereunder.

(b)  Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan or an Alternate Base Rate Loan, as the Company may request subject to and in accordance with Section 2.01.  Each Bank may at its option make any Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan by causing a foreign branch or affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan; provided, however, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Loan to such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Note, (ii) such Bank shall promptly advise the Company of the exercise of such option, the name and address of such foreign branch or affiliate and such other information with respect to such branch or affiliate as the Company may reasonably request, and (iii) the exercise of such option, as of the time of such exercise, shall not materially increase the amounts which would have been payable by the Company to such Bank under this Agreement and any applicable Notes.  Revolving Credit Loans of more than one interest rate option may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that, unless the Administrative Agent and the Company shall otherwise agree, the Company shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Loan which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate Revolving Credit Loans of any Bank being outstanding hereunder at any one time.  For purposes of the foregoing, Revolving Credit Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, and Revolving Credit Loans having different interest rate options, shall be considered separate Loans.

(c)  Subject to Section 2.06, each Bank shall make available its portion, as appropriate, of each Revolving Credit Borrowing on the proposed Borrowing Date thereof by paying the amount

required to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, in Dollars, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (or 2:00 p.m. in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans), New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall make such Loans available to the Company by promptly (and in any case prior to the end of the applicable Borrowing Date) crediting the amounts so received (or, subject to Section 2.04(d), its own funds but, in either case, in Dollars in immediately available funds) to such account of the Company as it shall designate in writing to the Administrative Agent or, if Loans are not made on such date because any condition precedent to a Borrowing herein specified shall not have been met, promptly return the amounts so received to the respective Banks.

(d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank prior to the Borrowing Date of any Loan that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s portion of the Loan to be made on such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Company a corresponding amount.  If, and only if, such notice is not given and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand, from the Company) together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Company and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) in the case of the Company, the applicable Interest Rate in respect of such Loan.

SECTION 2.05.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness.  (a)  The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Bank on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan, subject to the final sentence of Section 2.06) and, in any event, on the Maturity Date.

(b)  Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Company to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder.

(c)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Banks and each Bank’s share thereof.

(d)  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.05 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)  Any Bank may request that the Revolving Credit Loans made by it be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note duly executed on behalf of the Company, dated the date of this Agreement, payable to such Bank (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank or its registered assigns) in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank.  In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank the applicable Note or Notes.  Thereafter, the Loans

evidenced by each such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if required by such payee, to such payee or its registered assigns).  Each Bank shall, and is hereby authorized by the Company to, record on the schedule attached to the relevant Note held by such Bank (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to each such Note and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the Borrowing Date and amount of each Loan of such Bank, each payment or prepayment (including any deemed repayment pursuant to Section 2.06) of principal of any Loan and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to make such a notation or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans made by such Bank in accordance with the terms of the relevant Note. Upon Payment in Full, each Note or, with respect to any Bank, on the date on which such Bank no longer holds any outstanding Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment, such Bank’s Note(s), shall be automatically deemed of no further force and effect and, upon the request of the Company, shall be promptly returned by the relevant Bank to the Company.

SECTION 2.06.  Refinancings.  The Company may refinance all or any part of any Loan with a Loan or Loans of the same or a different Type made pursuant to Section 2.01; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the new Borrowings shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Loans being refinanced.  Any Loan or part thereof so refinanced shall be deemed to be repaid in accordance with Section 2.05 with the proceeds of a new Borrowing hereunder. If the Company shall not have repaid any Revolving Credit Loan on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto and shall not have given notice with respect to the refinancing of such Loan in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.01, it shall be deemed to have elected to refinance such Loan with a Revolving Credit Loan which is an Alternate Base Rate Loan to be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the Loan so refinanced.

SECTION 2.07.  Fees.  (a)  Facility Fee.  The Company agrees to pay to each Bank, through the Administrative Agent, on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 (the first such payment to be made on April 15, 2024) and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank shall be terminated or the Maturity Date, whichever shall first occur, in immediately available funds, a facility fee (a “Facility Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage from time to time in effect on the average daily amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank, whether used or unused, during the Calendar Quarter (or shorter period beginning on the Effective Date or ending on the Maturity Date) most recently ended; provided, that if any Bank continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Revolving Credit Commitment terminates (including after the Maturity Date), then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Bank ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure; provided, further, that the amount payable by the Company under this paragraph shall be reduced by any amounts paid on account of the Facility Fees pursuant to Section 4.01(a).  All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in a year of 360 days and shall commence to accrue on the Effective Date.

(b)  Letter of Credit Fees.  The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Bank, a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit (the “LC Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loans, on the average daily amount of such Bank’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Bank ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee,

which shall accrue at the rate of 0.150% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder (the fees provided for in this clause (ii) being collectively referred to as the “Issuing Bank Fees”).  Accrued participation fees and fronting fees for the Calendar Quarter (or shorter period beginning on the Effective Date or ending on the Maturity Date) most recently ended shall be payable on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.08.  Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.  (a)  If after the date of this Agreement (or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.08(a)) any adoption, issuance or change in applicable law, rule or regulation, guideline, request or directive or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law but with respect to which similarly situated banks generally comply) (i) shall impose on any Bank or any Issuing Bank any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank or any Issuing Bank or (iii)  shall impose on any Bank or any Issuing Bank any other cost or condition (other than Taxes), however denominated, affecting this Agreement or any Loan made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or any participations therein (any change referred to in any of the preceding clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) being called an “Increased Cost Change”), and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank or Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Loan (or maintaining a Revolving Credit Commitment) or issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or maintaining its obligation to issue Letters of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect thereof by an amount deemed in good faith by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then, subject to Section 2.08(d), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank for such increase or reduction will be paid by the Company to such Bank or Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.08(c).  Any such amount determined pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) shall be computed on the basis of the net effect of any Increased Cost Changes incurred by such Bank or Issuing Bank from time to time after the Effective Date of this Agreement.  For all purposes of this Section 2.08, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor similar authority) or the United States or foreign financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case, if they shall have any of the effects referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.08(a), be deemed to be an “Increased Cost Change”, whether enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued before or after the date of this Agreement.

(b)  If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall have determined in good faith that the adoption or issuance, after the date of this Agreement, of any applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law but with respect to which similarly situated banks generally comply) (a “Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule”),

or any change therein, 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 (any such adoption, issuance or change of a Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule being called a “Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change”), or compliance therewith by any Bank or Issuing Bank (or any lending office of such Bank or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank), has the net effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such Bank’s commitment to make, or the making or maintaining of, any Loans hereunder or such Bank’s participations in Letters of Credit, or such Issuing Bank’s issuance of Letters of Credit, or obligation to issue Letters of Credit, to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank (or any such corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank) would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity and any Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule in effect as of the date of this Agreement) by an amount deemed by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the Company shall, subject to Section 2.08(d), pay to such Bank or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) for such reduction as provided in Section 2.08(c); provided, however, that to the extent (i) a Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) shall increase its level of capital or liquidity above the level maintained by such Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) on the date of this Agreement and there has not been a Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change, or (ii) there has been a Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change and a Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) shall increase its level of capital or liquidity by an amount greater than the increase attributable (taking into consideration the same variables taken into consideration in determining the level of capital or liquidity maintained by such Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) on the date of this Agreement) to such Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change, the Company shall not be required to pay any amount or amounts under this Agreement with respect to any such increase in capital or liquidity.  Thus, for example, a Bank which is “adequately capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Bank) may not require the Company to make payments in respect of increases in such Bank’s level of capital made under the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above which improve its capital position from “adequately capitalized” to “well capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Bank).  For all purposes of this Section 2.08, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor similar authority) or the United States or foreign financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case, if they shall have any of the effects referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.08(b), be deemed to be a “Capital Adequacy Change”, whether enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued before or after the date of this Agreement.

(c)  A certificate of each Bank or Issuing Bank setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank (or a Participant pursuant to Section 10.06(b)) as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Company at the end of each Calendar Quarter during which such Bank is an Affected Bank or such Issuing Bank is affected by the events referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08, and upon the taking by the Company in respect of such Bank or Issuing Bank of one of the actions described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08 and shall, if submitted in good faith, be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that any certificate delivered by a Bank or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall (i) in the case of a certificate in respect of amounts payable pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.08, set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of such amounts, and (ii) in the case of a certificate in respect of amounts payable pursuant

to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08, (A) set forth at least the same amount of detail in respect of the calculation of such amount as such Bank or Issuing Bank provides in similar circumstances to other similarly situated borrowers from such Bank or Issuing Bank, and (B) include a statement by such Bank or Issuing Bank that it has allocated to its Revolving Credit Commitment or outstanding Loans a proportionately equal amount of any reduction of the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or liquidity due to a Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule as it has allocated to each of its other commitments to lend or to each of its other outstanding loans that are affected similarly by such Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule.  The Company shall pay each Bank or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate upon the earlier of (x) the date on which the Company takes one of the actions in respect of any such Bank or Issuing Bank described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08 and (y) 30 days after receipt by the Company of such certificate.

(d)  Subject to the following provisions of this Section 2.08(d), failure on the part of any Bank or Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08 with respect to any Interest Period or other period shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s rights to demand compensation for any such amounts with respect to any other Interest Period or other period.  In the case of any Increased Cost Change which is given retroactive effect to a date prior to the adoption thereof, a Bank or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation in respect thereof pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.08 for the period commencing on such retroactive effective date and, in the case of any Bank, ending on the date on which the Company takes one of the actions in respect of such Bank described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08; provided, however, that (i) if such Bank or Issuing Bank shall fail to notify the Company within 30 days after the date of official promulgation of such Increased Cost Change occurring after the date hereof that it will demand such compensation, the period for which such Bank or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation in respect thereof shall commence on the date which is 30 days prior to such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s notice that it will demand compensation, and (ii) if any Increased Cost Change occurring after the date hereof is given retroactive effect to a date which is more than three months prior to the date of adoption thereof, the Company’s liability to pay compensation to such Bank or Issuing Bank in respect thereof for any period prior to the date which is three months prior to the adoption thereof shall, subject to the foregoing clause (i) of this proviso, be equal to 50% of the amount required to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank in respect of such Increased Cost Change with respect to such period.  In the case of any Increased Cost Change occurring after the date hereof which is given only prospective effect, a Bank or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation in respect thereof pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.08 for the period commencing on the later of (A) the date on which such Increased Cost Change becomes effective and (B) the date 30 days prior to the notice by such Bank or Issuing Bank that it will demand such compensation, and, in the case of any Bank, ending on the date on which the Company takes one of the actions in respect of such Bank described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08.  In the case of any Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change occurring after the date hereof, a Bank or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation in respect thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 only with respect to costs or reductions commencing on the later of (x) the date on which such Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule becomes effective and (y) the date 45 days prior to the notice by such Bank or Issuing Bank that it will demand such compensation, and, in the case of any Bank, ending on the date on which the Company takes one of the actions in respect of such Bank described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08.

(e)  In the event that any Affected Bank shall have given notice that it is entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Company may exercise any one or more of the following options:

(i)  If any such claim for compensation relates to Loans then being requested by the Company pursuant to a notice of Borrowing as provided in this Article II, the Company may, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the requested Loans were to have been made, in the case of Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loans, or not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which the requested Loans were to have been made, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, by giving notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall transmit to each of the Banks otherwise required to participate in the requested Loans as soon as practicable thereafter) irrevocably withdraw such notice of Borrowing.

(ii)  The Company may request one or more of the non-Affected Banks to take over all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s then outstanding Loan(s) and to assume all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and obligations hereunder.  If one or more Banks shall so agree in writing (in this Section 2.08(e)(ii), in Section 2.12(c)(i) and in Section 2.13(i), collectively called the “Assenting Banks” and individually called an “Assenting Bank”) with respect to an Affected Bank, (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Assenting Bank and the obligations of such Assenting Bank under this Agreement shall be increased by its respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment and of the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement, and (y) each Assenting Bank shall make Loans to the Company, according to such Assenting Bank’s respective Allocable Share, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Banks and the Company.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such assumption by the Assenting Bank and prepayment by the Company, such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).

(iii)  Upon notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter),  facsimile or e-mail) to the Administrative Agent (which shall advise each Bank thereof as soon as practicable thereafter), the Company may terminate the obligations of the Banks to make or maintain Loans which result in the Affected Banks making a demand for compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08 and, in such event, the Company shall refinance all such Loans with Loans which, at the time of such refinancing, would not result in such Banks making such demand for compensation, such refinancing to be conducted in the manner contemplated by and pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section 4.02.

(iv)  (A)  The Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Revolving

Credit Commitment and the obligations of any such Affected Bank hereunder, and to purchase the outstanding Loans and Notes of such Affected Bank and such Affected Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Bank, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including the amount which would be payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to Section 3.04 if the purchase of its Loans and Notes constituted a prepayment thereof contemplated by clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 3.04), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lenders, each such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).

(B)  As an alternative, the Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall upon a date mutually agreed upon by the Company and such Replacement Lenders assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement and shall upon such date make Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such Replacement Lenders making such Loans and such prepayment by the Company, such Replacement Lenders shall be deemed to be “Banks” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).  Each such Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation to evidence its status as a “Bank” hereunder as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.  The effectiveness of each Replacement Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the making of such Loans by such Replacement Lenders and the prepayment by the Company of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously for all purposes hereof.

(f)  [Reserved].

(g)  [Reserved].

(h)  In the event that the Company shall take any of the actions contemplated by Section 2.08(e)(ii) or Section 2.08(e)(iv), the Company shall provide replacement Notes at the request of any Assenting Bank or any Replacement Lender, as the case may be, to reflect the identity of, and/or the outstanding amount of the Loans of, and/or the principal amount of such Notes issued to, such Assenting Bank or such Replacement Lender, and Schedule I and Schedule II shall be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such Replacement Lender and any increases or decreases in the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Affected Banks and the Assenting Banks, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.09.  Pro Rata Treatment.  Except as permitted under Section 2.06, Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 4.01(b) and Section 4.01(c), (i) each payment by the Company on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be made pro rata in accordance with the

respective amounts due and owing, (ii) each payment by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective amounts due and owing, and (iii) each prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans, as directed by the Company, pro rata according to the respective amounts outstanding.

SECTION 2.10.  Payments.  Except for payments made directly to a Bank or Banks or to an Issuing Bank under other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall make each payment hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10179, for the account of the Banks, in immediately available funds (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Bank its proper share of each payment so received.

SECTION 2.11.  Payments on Business Days.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (unless, with respect to a payment relating to an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan, such day would fall in another calendar month, in which event payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day).

SECTION 2.12.  Net Payments.  (a)   All payments under this Agreement shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments (after deduction or withholding by the Company or the Administrative Agent for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (herein collectively called the “Taxes”)) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement and the Notes had no such deduction or withholding been made on account of any Indemnified Taxes.  The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on payments made under this second sentence of this Section 2.12(a)) and any reasonable and necessary expenses  incurred.  For the Administrative Agent, a Bank or an Issuing Bank to be entitled to compensation for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.12, (i) in the case of compensation for United States Federal income or withholding Taxes in respect of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank must notify the Company by the later of (x) 30 days after the end of such Interest Period or (y) 30 days after the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank receives a written claim for such Tax from any government, political subdivision or taxing authority with respect to such Interest Period and (ii) in the case of compensation for any United States Tax other than a United States Federal income or withholding Tax in respect of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent, such Bank or the Issuing Bank must notify the Company within 30 days after the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank receives a written claim for such Tax from any government, political subdivision or taxing authority with respect to such Interest Period.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank under this Section 2.12 submitted to the Company by the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine such amount and shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of manifest error.  With respect to each deduction or withholding by the Company for or on account of any Taxes, the Company shall promptly (and in any event not later than 45 days thereafter) furnish to the Administrative Agent such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be required (in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) to establish evidence of such payment of Taxes.

(b)  (i)  Each Bank and Issuing Bank agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company, in duplicate, (A) on or before the later of (x) the Effective Date and (y) the date such

Bank or Issuing Bank becomes a Bank or Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (B) thereafter, for each third taxable year of such Bank or Issuing Bank during which interest or fees arising under this Agreement are received, unless not legally able to do so as a result of a change in United States income tax law enacted, or treaty promulgated, after the date specified in the preceding clause (A), on or prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Company hereunder (or at any other time as required under United States income tax law or as reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent), a properly completed and executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax and any additional form required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent for claiming complete exemption from United States withholding taxes (or such other form as is required to claim complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding taxes), if and as provided by the Code, regulations or other pronouncements of the United States Internal Revenue Service, and the Bank or Issuing Bank warrants to the Company that the form so filed will be true and complete.  In the event that the Company is required, or has been notified by the relevant taxing authority that it will be required, to either withhold or make payment of Taxes with respect to any payments to be made by the Company under this Agreement or the Notes to any transferor Bank and such requirement or notice arises as a result of the sale of a participation by such transferor Bank pursuant to Section 10.06(b), such transferor Bank shall, upon request by the Company, accompanied by a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request, provide to the Company copies of all tax forms required to be provided to such transferor Bank pursuant to Section 10.06(g) by the Participant which purchased such participation.  The obligation of each transferor Bank to provide to the Company such tax forms shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such transferor Bank. Each Bank and Issuing Bank agrees that if any form or certificate if previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(ii)  On or before the date on which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Company two duly executed copies of either (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5) that has assumed primary withholding obligations under the Code, including Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code, or a “U.S. branch” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) that is treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding obligations under the Code) for the amounts the Administrative Agent receives for the account of others.  The Administrative Agent (or, upon assignment or replacement, any assignee or successor) agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company in writing of its inability do so.

(iii)  If a payment made to any Bank or any Issuing Bank under this Agreement or the Notes would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank or such Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company, in duplicate and at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative

Agent or the Company, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Company to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank or such Issuing Bank. as applicable, has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.12(b)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(c)  In the event that any Affected Bank shall have given notice that it is entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Company may at any time thereafter exercise any one or more of the following options:

(i)  The Company may request one or more of the non-Affected Banks to take over all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s then outstanding Loan(s) and to assume all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and obligations hereunder.  If one or more Banks shall so agree in writing with respect to an Affected Bank, (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Assenting Bank and the obligations of such Assenting Bank under this Agreement shall be increased by its respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment and of the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement, and (y) each Assenting Bank shall make Loans to the Company, according to such Assenting Bank’s respective Allocable Share, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Banks and the Company.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such assumption by the Assenting Banks and prepayment by the Company, such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).

(ii)  (A)  The Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of any such Affected Bank hereunder, and to purchase the outstanding Loans and Notes of such Affected Bank and such Affected Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Bank, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank plus all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including the amount which would be payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to Section 3.04 if the purchase of its Loans and Notes constituted a prepayment thereof contemplated by clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 3.04), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lenders, each such Replacement Lender shall be declared to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as

provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).

(B)  As an alternative, the Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall upon a date mutually agreed upon by the Company and such Replacement Lenders assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement and shall upon such date make Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such Replacement Lenders making such Loans and such prepayment by the Company, such Replacement Lenders shall be deemed to be “Banks” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).  Each such Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation to evidence its status as a “Bank” hereunder as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.  The effectiveness of each Replacement Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the making of such Loans by such Replacement Lenders and the prepayment by the Company of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously for all purposes hereof.

(iii)  If any such claim for compensation relates to Loans then being requested by the Company pursuant to a notice of Borrowing as provided in Article II, the Company may, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the requested Loans were to have been made, in the case of Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loans, or not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which the requested Loans were to have been made, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, by giving notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall transmit to each of the Banks otherwise required to participate in the requested Loans as soon as practicable thereafter) irrevocably withdraw such notice of Borrowing.

(d)  The Company shall provide replacement Notes at the request of any Assenting Bank or any Replacement Lender, as the case may be, to reflect the identity of, and/or the outstanding amount of the Loans of, and/or the principal amount of such Notes issued to, such Assenting Bank or such Replacement Lender, and Schedule I and Schedule II shall be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such Replacement Lender and any increases or decreases in the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Affected Banks and the Assenting Banks, as the case may be.

(e)  Each Bank and each Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so) attributable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement 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 government, political subdivision or taxing authority.  The indemnity under this Section 2.12(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent

delivers to the applicable Bank or such Issuing Bank a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent.  Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f)  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 paragraph (f) (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 paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the 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 paragraph (f) 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.

SECTION 2.13.  Defaulting Banks; Failed and Credit-Impaired Banks; Declining Banks.  If (a) a Bank shall be a Defaulting Bank, (b) either of Moody’s or S&P shall assign a rating to the senior, unsecured, non-credit-enhanced, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money of a Bank which shall be classified by such rating agency as below investment grade, (c) Fitch shall assign an individual bank rating to a Bank which shall fall below C/D, (d) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice stating, as to any Bank which has senior, unsecured, non-credit-enhanced, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money which is not rated by any of the rating agencies referred to in the preceding clause (b), that it reasonably believes such Bank will become a Defaulting Bank or become unable to perform its obligations as a Bank hereunder or (e) a Bank shall become a Declining Bank, then the Company may at any time thereafter, subject to applicable law, exercise any one or more of the following options:

(i)  The Company may request one or more of the non-Affected Banks to take over all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s then outstanding Loan(s) and to assume all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and obligations hereunder.  If one or more Banks shall so agree in writing with respect to an Affected Bank, (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Assenting Bank and the obligations of such Assenting Bank under this Agreement shall be increased by its respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment and of the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement, and (y) each Assenting Bank shall make Loans to the Company, according to such Assenting Bank’s respective Allocable Share, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Banks and the Company.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (excluding, in the case of an event referred to in clause (a) of this Section 2.13, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such assumption by the Assenting Bank and prepayment by the

Company, such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).

(ii)  (A)  The Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of any such Affected Bank hereunder, and to purchase the outstanding Loans and Notes of such Affected Bank and such Affected Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Bank, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including the amount which would be payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to Section 3.04 if the purchase of its Loans and Notes constituted a prepayment thereof contemplated by clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 3.04), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lenders, each such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).

(B)  As an alternative, the Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall upon a date mutually agreed upon by the Company and such Replacement Lenders assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement and shall upon such date make Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such Replacement Lenders making such Loans and such prepayment by the Company, such Replacement Lenders shall be deemed to be “Banks” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07).  Each such Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation to evidence its status as a “Bank” hereunder as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.  The effectiveness of each Replacement Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the making of such Loans by such Replacement Lenders and the prepayment by the Company of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously for all purposes hereof.

The Company shall provide replacement Notes at the request of any Assenting Bank or any Replacement Lender, as the case may be, to reflect the identity of, and/or the outstanding amount of the Loans of, and/or the principal amount of such Notes issued to, such Assenting Bank or such Replacement Lender, and Schedule I and Schedule II shall be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such Replacement Lender and any increases or decreases in the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Affected Banks and the Assenting Banks, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14.  Defaulting Banks.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a)  Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(a);

(b)  the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks or any other requisite Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.01); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Banks or all Banks affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01, require the consent of such Defaulting Bank in accordance with the terms hereof;

(c)  if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank then:

(i)  the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Bank shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.03(d) and 2.03(e)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Proportional Shares but only to the extent that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Non-Defaulting Bank to exceed such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure (excluding the portion thereof referred to above) does not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii)  if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(j), for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)  if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)  if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the participation fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.07(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(v)  if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in clause (i) above) is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Bank hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.07(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them

ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(vi)  so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be fully covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.03(j), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 2.14(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the LC Exposures of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Proportional Share.  Subject to Section 10.19, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(a)  Commencing on the date on which the Company provides a Pricing Certificate in respect of the most recently ended Calendar Year (with any Pricing Certificate previously delivered pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement to be deemed as having been delivered for purposes hereof), subject to clause (h) below, (i) the Applicable Margin shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate, and (ii) the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment shall be applied as of the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate pursuant to Section 2.15(f) based upon the KPI Metric set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment, therein (such day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”), (B) each change in the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 2.15(f)) and (C) in no event shall the Applicable Margin after giving effect to any Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage after giving effect to any Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment, in either case, be less than 0.00%.

(b)  For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Calendar Year.  It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Margin will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.04% and that the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.01%, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment, respectively, during any Calendar Year.  For the avoidance of

doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee Percentage by reason of meeting the KPI Metric 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.

(c)  It is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Pricing Certificate is delivered by the Company with regard to within the period set forth in Section 2.15(f), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be a positive 0.04% and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment will be a positive 0.01% commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 2.15(f) and continuing until the Company delivers a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent for the applicable Calendar Year.

(d)  If (i)(A) the Required Banks become aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metric as reported in a Pricing Certificate for a given Calendar Year (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and the Required Banks deliver, no later than the last Business Day of the following Calendar Year, a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Bank and the Company), or (B) the Company becomes aware of a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and the Company and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metric would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee Percentage for any period, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Banks, as the case may be, 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 the Company under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. Debtor Relief Laws), automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Bank), but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Company has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate 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 (a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy Payment”).  If the Company becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metric would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee Percentage for any period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Company of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metric, as applicable), commencing on the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Margin and Applicable Facility Fee Percentage shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metric, as applicable, for all periods occurring five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice.  For the avoidance of any doubt, the parties agree that any such adjustment to reflect a decrease in the Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee Percentage for any period shall only be effective on a prospective basis and shall not require any adjustments to amounts previously paid by the Company prior to the discovery of a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy.

It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default; provided, that, the Company complies with (i) the terms of this Section 2.15 with respect to the payment of any resulting Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy Payment and (ii) its obligations under Section 6.01(a)(x). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order

for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. Debtor Relief Laws), (a) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the earlier to occur of (i) a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph or (ii) 10 Business Days after the Company has received written notice of or has agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (such date, the “Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date”), (b) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date shall not constitute an Unmatured Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (c) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date or shall accrue interest at the Default Rate prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date.

(e)  Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither Sustainability Structuring Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Company of any Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

(f)  As soon as available and in any event within 270 days of the end of the Calendar Year in respect of which such Pricing Certificate is delivered (with the first such Pricing Certificate permitted to be delivered in 2024 in respect of the Calendar Year ending December 31, 2023), the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Banks a Pricing Certificate for the most recently-ended Calendar Year; provided, that, for any Calendar Year the Company may elect not to deliver a Pricing Certificate, and such election shall not constitute an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default (but such failure to so deliver a Pricing Certificate by the end of such 270 day period shall result in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment being applied as set forth in clause (c) above).

(g)  Additionally, the Company:

(i)  (A) shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agents of (1) any changes to the methodologies used to calculate the KPI Metric that would reasonably be expected to result in an increase or decrease to the Company and its Subsidiaries’ combined Scope 1 Emissions and Scope 2 Emissions by 5% or more, as determined in good faith by the Company, as compared to the Company and its Subsidiaries’ combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions as calculated immediately prior to such changes and/or (2) the occurrence of any Sustainability Recalculation Transaction or (B) may notify the Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agents of any other changes to the methodologies used to calculate the KPI Metric or of any other acquisition, disposition, merger or similar transaction that does not otherwise qualify as a Sustainability Recalculation Transaction resulting in a change to Company and its Subsidiaries’ combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions; and

(ii)  in the case of either of the forgoing clauses (g)(i)(A) or (g)(i)(B), shall negotiate with the Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agents (acting reasonably) in good faith any amendments, modifications or supplements required to the Sustainability Table and/or the relevant definitions as a result of such change in methodology or Sustainability Recalculation Transaction (or similar transaction), as applicable.

Where the Company (acting reasonably) determines that, as a result of events beyond its reasonable control (including, without limitation, any future government authority directions applicable to government-related entities in the United States of America or in other jurisdictions in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate, changes in law or regulations, actions by a public authority, fire, natural disaster and/or other events that disrupt business continuity), it is (x) prevented, hindered or delayed or (y) assisted in fulfilling its performance requirements in respect of the KPI Metric, the Company shall negotiate with the Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agents (acting reasonably) in good faith with a view to agreeing on a replacement KPI Metric.

In furtherance of the negotiations referred to above, the requested modifications shall undergo limited assurance verification by the Sustainability Assurance Provider as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agents, and such verification (in form and substance consistent with that of a KPI Limited Assurance Statement and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agents) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agents and the Company.

Following any such negotiation pursuant to this Section 2.15(g) and/or the occurrence of any Sustainability Recalculation Transaction, the relevant proposed amendments, modifications or supplements to this Agreement (and/or the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) shall be posted to the Banks and shall become effective (subject to execution thereof by the Company and the Administrative Agent) five (5) Business Days after such amendment, modification or supplement is posted, unless the Required Banks object in writing to such amendment, modification or supplement within the five (5) Business Days after such posting; provided, that no such amendment, modification or supplement shall modify the percentage rates for the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and/or Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment pursuant to, respectively, the definitions of Applicable Margin Adjustment Amount and Facility Fee Adjustment Amount.

(h)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment shall be made (x) if a Sustainability Recalculation Transaction is consummated during the Calendar Year ending December 31, 2024, in respect of such Calendar Year and (y) in respect of the Calendar Years ending December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2027, prior to the effectiveness of a KPI Amendment (as defined below) with respect to such Calendar Years.

(i)  Within 270 days of the last day of the Calendar Year ending December 31, 2024:

(i)  the Company shall negotiate with the Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agents with a view to agreeing whether (x) to continue determining the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment by reference to the KPI Metric (the “Existing KPI Metric”) or (y) to select a replacement KPI metric (a “Replacement KPI Metric”) for reference in determination of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment in place of the Existing KPI Metric;

(ii)  the Company shall report either (x) the sum of the Scope 1 Emissions and Scope 2 Emissions for the Calendar Year ending December 31, 2024, if continuing to use the Existing KPI Metric or (y) the applicable benchmark level with respect to the Calendar Year ending December 31, 2024, in the case of a Replacement KPI Metric; and

(iii)  the Company, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agents, may request an amendment to this Agreement (a

“KPI Amendment”) containing annual targets and thresholds for such Existing KPI Metric or Replacement KPI Metric, as applicable, for each of the Calendar Years 2025 through 2027 and other applicable amendments to this Agreement (including with respect to Exhibits H and I). Such KPI Amendment shall be become effective upon the execution thereof by each of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Required Banks. In any event, no such KPI Amendment shall modify the percentage rates for the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and/or Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment pursuant to, respectively, the definitions of Applicable Margin Adjustment Amount and Facility Fee Adjustment Amount.

(j)  If a KPI Amendment has not been executed within 270 days of the last day of the Calendar Year ending December 31, 2024, then the Required Banks may direct the Administrative Agent to declassify the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments as a “sustainability-linked” credit facility by providing notice thereof to the Company and the Banks. Following a Declassification Date, (i) the provisions of Sections 2.15(a)-(i) and any other provisions in this Agreement, to the extent dependent on the effectiveness of any provision of Sections 2.15(a)-(i), shall cease to apply, (ii) no Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment shall be made with respect to any Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) neither the Company nor any Bank shall make any disclosure that portrays such Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments as a “sustainability-linked” credit facility. For the avoidance of doubt, the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments will remain declassified unless an amendment is subsequently executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Required Banks, and in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agents, to reintroduce sustainability-linked adjustments and to reclassify the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments as a “sustainability-linked” credit facility; provided, that no such amendment shall modify the percentage rates for the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and/or Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment pursuant to, respectively, the definitions of Applicable Margin Adjustment Amount and Facility Fee Adjustment Amount, in each case as such definitions were in effect immediately prior to the Declassification Date.

(k)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result of (x) a KPI Amendment not being entered into or becoming effective or (y) the Company failing to comply with Section 2.15(i) in any respect (including with respect to the delivery of any report or other materials).

SECTION 3.01.  Interest on Loans.  (a)  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, each Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, and calculated from and including the first day of the Interest Period therefor to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period) equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus, the Applicable Margin.  Interest on each Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto.

(b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof, each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (i) over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, and (ii) over a year of 360 days if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, and calculated from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Interest on each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto.

SECTION 3.02.  Interest on Overdue Amounts.  If the Company shall default in the payment when due of the principal of any Loan or of any other amount due hereunder (other than any amount not paid as a result of a Bank Funding Default for the period from which such Bank Funding Default commences to the date on which the failure to pay such amount due would become an Event of Default), the Company shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount from the date such amount shall have become due up to (but not including) the date of actual payment thereof (x) for Alternate Base Rate Loans, accruing on a daily basis, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or on the basis of a year of 360 days if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate) which is equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect, plus (ii) the Applicable Margin applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans plus (iii) two percent (2%) per annum, or (y) for any Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan, until the last day of the Interest Period therefor, accruing on a daily basis at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) which is equal to the sum of (i) the Interest Rate applicable thereto determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(a) hereof plus (ii) two percent (2%) per annum and, thereafter, in accordance with clause (x) above.  If the Company shall default in the payment when due of the principal of any Loan or of any other amount due hereunder as a result of a Bank Funding Default, for the period from which such Bank Funding Default commences to the date on which the failure to pay such amount due would become an Event of Default or, if earlier, to (but not including) the date of actual payment thereof, the Company shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) for Alternate Base Rate Loans, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or on the basis of a year of 360 days if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate), or (y) for any Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan, until the last day of the Interest Period therefor, at the Interest Rate applicable to such Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(a), and thereafter, in accordance with clause (x) above; provided, however, that interest payable by the Company for the period set forth above on defaulted amounts not paid to a Bank as a result of such Bank’s Bank Funding Default shall be payable at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Interest Rate that would have been applicable to the Loan or Loans that were the subject of such Bank’s Bank Funding Default, and (ii) the applicable Interest Rate set forth in clause (x) or (y) above, as the case may be.

SECTION 3.03.  Inability to Determine Adjusted Term SOFR Rate.  (a)  Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 3.03, if:

(i)  the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time after the foregoing clause (A) applies, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR; or

(ii)  the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Banks that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (or Bank) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time after the foregoing clause (A) applies, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and

fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (or Bank) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Banks, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request for the conversion of any Revolving Credit Loan to, or continuation of any Revolving Credit Loan as, an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan (including any such conversion or continuation arising from the refinancing provisions of Section 2.06 hereof), (B) any Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan that is requested to be continued (including any such continuation arising from the refinancing provisions of Section 2.06 hereof) and (C) any request for a Revolving Credit Loan that is an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan shall instead be deemed to be a notice or a Revolving Credit Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (1) a Borrowing for Loans that bear interest at the rate based on the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i)(B) or (ii)(B) above or (2) an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing, if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i)(B) or (ii)(B) above; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted.  Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 3.03(a) with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Company delivers a new notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03 or a new Revolving Credit Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.01, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (1) a Loan bearing interest at the rate based on the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i)(B) or (ii)(B) above or (2) an Alternate Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i)(B) or (ii)(B) above, on such day.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Revolving Credit Note, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Revolving Credit Note in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Note and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Note in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Banks without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any Revolving Credit Note so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Banks comprising the Required Banks.

(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Revolving Credit Note, the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Company) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Revolving Credit Note, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any Revolving Credit Note.

(d)  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Banks of (i)   any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii)   the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii)   the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv)   the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v)   the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 3.03, 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 Revolving Credit Note, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03.

(e)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Revolving Credit Note, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i)   if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (A)   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 (B)   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 or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii)   if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A)   is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B)   is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f)  Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.  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 Alternate 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 Alternate Base Rate.  Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.03, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 3.04.  Indemnity.  The Company shall compensate each Bank, upon written request by such Bank (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses and expenses in respect of any interest paid by such Bank (or its lending branch or affiliate) to lenders of funds borrowed by it or deposited with it to make or maintain its Loans (other than Alternate Base Rate Loans) which such Bank (or its lending branch or affiliate) may sustain, to the extent not otherwise compensated for hereunder and not mitigated by the reemployment of such funds:  (i) if for any reason

(other than a default by such Bank) a Borrowing of any Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a notice of Borrowing given pursuant to Article II, (ii) if any prepayment (other than a prepayment under Section 2.13(i) resulting from an event referred to in clause (a) of Section 2.13) or repayment of its Loans (other than Alternate Base Rate Loans) occurs on a date which is not the expiration date of the relevant Interest Period, (iii) if any prepayment of its Loans (other than Alternate Base Rate Loans) is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Company (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 4.01 and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (iv) as a consequence of any default by the Company under this Agreement.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify each Bank against any loss or expense which such Bank (or its lending branch or affiliate) may sustain or incur as a consequence of the default by the Company in payment of principal of or interest on any Loan (other than any Alternate Base Rate Loan), or any part thereof, or of any amount due under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any premium or penalty incurred by such Bank (or its lending branch or affiliate), in respect of funds borrowed by it or deposited with it for the purpose of making or maintaining such Loan (other than any Alternate Base Rate Loan), as determined by such Bank in the exercise of its sole discretion.  A certificate as to any such loss or expense (including calculations, in reasonable detail, showing how such Bank computed such loss or expense) shall be promptly submitted by such Bank to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.

SECTION 3.05.  Rate Determination Conclusive.  The applicable Interest Rate for each Interest Period with respect to each Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive and, subject to Section 3.03, binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request in writing of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any Interest Rate in respect of the Loans payable by the Company.

SECTION 4.01.  Reduction, Termination, Increase or Extension of the Total Commitment.  (a)  The Company may, from time to time on at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) facsimile or e-mail) received by the Administrative Agent (which shall advise each Bank thereof as soon as practicable thereafter), permanently reduce the Total Commitment (such reduction shall reduce each Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment ratably according to its respective Proportional Share of the amount of such reduction and Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect the reduction in such Revolving Credit Commitments) but only upon (a) repayment of that portion of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans which, together with the LC Exposure, exceeds the amount of the Total Commitment as so reduced (such repayment to be applied to each Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans in the same proportion as its Revolving Credit Commitment is reduced), and (b) payment to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Banks, of the Facility Fees on the portion of the Total Commitment so reduced which have accrued through the date of such reduction; provided, however, the Company may not so reduce the Total Commitment at any time to an amount less than the LC Exposure.  Any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess of $50,000,000.  The Company may at any time, on like notice, terminate the Total Commitment (and each Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment) upon payment in full of all Loans and the accrued interest thereon and the Facility Fees accrued through the date of such termination; provided, however, that the Company may not terminate the Total Commitment at any time that there is any LC Exposure (unless arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks shall have been made with respect thereto).  Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the

Total Commitment delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon (i) the effectiveness of another credit facility or (ii) the consummation of an acquisition, disposition or other similar transaction, in both such cases, such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b)  (i)  The Company may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Company, each Issuing Bank and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section 4.01(b) being called an “Increasing Bank”), which may include any Bank, cause new Revolving Credit Commitments to be extended by the Increasing Banks or cause the existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Increasing Banks to be increased, as the case may be (any such extension or increase, a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount for each Increasing Bank set forth in such notice; provided, that (A) the aggregate amount by which the Total Commitment is increased as a result of any Commitment Increase shall be an integral multiple of $50,000,000, (B) at no time shall the aggregate amount of all increases in the Total Commitment effected under this Section 4.01(b) exceed $1,000,000,000, (C) each Increasing Bank, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (D) each Increasing Bank, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company (an “Accession Agreement”).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Bank shall have any obligation to agree to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of such Bank.  New Revolving Credit Commitments and increases in Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 4.01(b) shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notice delivered pursuant to this paragraph.  Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Bank is a party, (A) such Increasing Bank shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Bank hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Bank hereunder and (B) Schedule I shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Increasing Bank as provided in such Accession Agreement.  Upon the effectiveness of any increase pursuant to this Section in the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Bank already a party hereto, Schedule I shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank.

(ii)  On the effective date of any Commitment Increase pursuant to this paragraph (b) (the “Increase Effective Date”), (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding (for the purposes of this Section 4.01(b)(ii), the “Initial Loans”) immediately prior to giving effect to the applicable Commitment Increase on the Increase Effective Date shall be deemed to be repaid, (B) after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the Company shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Credit Borrowings (for the purposes of this Section 4.01(b)(ii), the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans and of the types and for the Interest Periods specified in a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.01, (C) each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (x) such Bank’s Proportional Share (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings and (y) such Bank’s Proportional Share (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Loans, (D) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clause (C) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Bank the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference, if positive, between (1) such Bank’s Proportional Share (calculated without giving effect to the

Commitment Increase) of the Initial Loans and (2) such Bank’s Proportional Share (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (E) each Increasing Bank and each other Bank shall be deemed to hold its Proportional Share of each Subsequent Borrowing (each calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) and (F) the Company shall pay each Increasing Bank and each other Bank any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Initial Loans.  The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (A) above in respect of each Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.04 if the Increase Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and breakage costs result.

(iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Total Commitment (or in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Bank) shall become effective under this paragraph (b) unless, on the date of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (c) of Section 7.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to the making of Loans being deemed to be references to such increase) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Officers’ Certificate to that effect dated such date.

(c)  The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Banks) within the period not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days prior to any anniversary of the date hereof, but on not more than two occasions during the term of this Agreement, request that the Banks extend the Maturity Date and the Revolving Credit Commitments for an additional period of one year.  Each Bank shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s extension request, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Bank agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Bank” and each Bank declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Bank”).  Any Bank that has not so advised the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Bank.  If Banks constituting the Required Banks shall have agreed to an extension request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Banks, be extended to the first anniversary of the Maturity Date theretofore in effect.  The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Maturity Date extension shall be at the sole discretion of each Bank.  The Commitment of any Declining Bank shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect as to such Bank prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Maturity Date being called the “Existing Maturity Date”).  The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Banks, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of such Declining Banks hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date the Company shall also make such other prepayments of Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Banks pursuant to this sentence, the sum of (A) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the LC Exposure will not exceed the Total Commitment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall have the right, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to take any of the actions set forth in Section 2.13 with respect to any Declining Bank, and any such Assenting Bank or Replacement Lender that shall have consented to the Company’s extension request shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Bank.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Maturity Date (without taking into consideration any extension pursuant to this paragraph (c)), as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall not have

consented to any such extension, (i) such Issuing Bank shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder through the Existing Maturity Date, and thereafter shall have no obligation to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit (but shall, in each case, continue to be entitled to the benefits hereof as to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such time), and (ii) the Company shall cause the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to be zero no later than the day on which such LC Exposure would have been required to have been reduced to zero in accordance with the terms hereof without giving effect to any effectiveness of the extension of the applicable Existing Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph (c) (and, in any event, no later than the Existing Maturity Date)) and (B) no extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall become effective unless (i) on the anniversary of the date hereof that immediately follows the date on which the Company delivers the applicable request for extension of the Maturity Date, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (c) of Section 7.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to the making of Loans being deemed to be references to such extension) and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Officers’ Certificate to that effect dated such date.

SECTION 4.02.  Prepayments.  (a)  The Company may from time to time, upon at least (i) one (1) Business Day’s prior notice (in the event such notice pertains to Alternate Base Rate Loans) or (ii) three (3) Business Days’ prior notice (in the event such notice pertains to Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Loans) (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) received by the Administrative Agent (prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, in the event such notice pertains to Alternate Base Rate Loans) (which shall advise each Bank thereof as soon as practicable thereafter), prepay any Revolving Credit Borrowing in whole or in part, without, except as provided in Section 3.04, premium or penalty (such prepayment to be pro rata to the Banks according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans made by them); provided, however, that each such partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess of $50,000,000.

(b)  Each notice of prepayment shall specify the Borrowing to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the aggregate principal to be prepaid, and shall be irrevocable; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Total Commitment as contemplated by Section 4.01(a), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 4.01(a).  All prepayments under this Section 4.02 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment.

SECTION 9.01.  Appointment and Powers of the Administrative Agent.  Each Bank and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent its agent hereunder and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its respective duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  The Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agents shall have no duties or responsibilities to any Bank or Issuing Bank, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank or Issuing Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication

Agent or any Documentation Agent. The motivations of the Administrative Agent are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Company.

SECTION 9.02.  Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither any Bank, Issuing Bank or Agent, nor any of their respective directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; nor shall any Bank, Issuing Bank or Agent be responsible in any manner to any Person for the representations, warranties or other statements made by any other Person or for the due execution or delivery, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Company or any other obligor of this Agreement, the Notes or any other document furnished pursuant thereto or in connection herewith.  Neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers shall be under any obligation to any Bank or Issuing Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 9.03.  Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, statement, order, electronic communication or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Bank or Issuing Bank for acting, or refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith in accordance with a request of the Required Banks, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks and all future holders of the Notes.

SECTION 9.04.  Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default hereunder unless it has received notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Banks.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Banks; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks; provided further that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, power and authority to take the affirmative action specified in Section 8.01 only upon the direction of the Required Banks.

SECTION 9.05.  Indemnification.  Each Bank hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, as an agent hereunder, from and against such Bank’s Proportional Share of any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by such

Agent in such capacity as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent in such capacity or otherwise incurred or suffered by, made upon, or assessed against such Agent in such capacity; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of any such losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or expenses resulting from or attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Agent or its officers, employees or agents, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent each Agent is not otherwise reimbursed by the Company pursuant to Section 10.07, each Bank hereby agrees to reimburse such Agent promptly following its demand for such Bank’s Proportional Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Agent hereunder.  Each Bank’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank, and the discharge of the Company’s obligations hereunder.

SECTION 9.06.  Nonreliance on the Agents and Other Banks.  Each Bank expressly acknowledges that neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any such Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Bank.  Each Bank represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company.

SECTION 9.07.  The Agents in Their Individual Capacities.  Each of the Agents and their affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, any Note issued to it and any Letter of Credit issued by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Bank or Issuing Bank, as applicable and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.08.  Excess Payments.  Except for payments made pursuant to Section 2.08, Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, if any Bank shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Loan or its participations in any Letter of Credit in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Banks on account of principal of and interest on Revolving Credit Loans and participations in Letters of Credit then held by them, such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Revolving Credit Loans and subparticipations in Letters of Credit held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that (i) if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee.  The Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank

pursuant to this Section 9.08 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including offset) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 9.09.  Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several, and neither any Bank nor the Agents shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Person hereunder, nor will the failure of any Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder relieve the Administrative Agent or any other Bank from the performance of its respective obligations hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by the Banks or any Agent pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or pursuant to or in connection with the Notes, shall be deemed to constitute the Banks, together or with the Agents, a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

SECTION 9.10.  Resignation by any Agent; Removal of Sustainability Structuring Agent.  (a)  Any Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Company, the other Agents, the Banks and the Issuing Banks.  In the event of such resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Banks (with the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) in the event that there then does not exist an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default), shall as promptly as practicable appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

(b)  If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent (i) is a Defaulting Bank, the Company may, or (ii) is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person (and to the Company, if such removal is by the Required Banks) remove such Person as the Administrative Agent. In such event, the Required Banks (with the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) in the event that there then does not exist an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default) shall as promptly as practicable thereafter appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

(c)  The Company may remove any Sustainability Structuring Agent at any time by giving to such Sustainability Structuring Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) 30 days’ prior written notice of removal. Within 30 days after giving the foregoing notice of removal to a Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Company shall appoint a successor Sustainability Structuring Agent (which successor Sustainability Structuring Agent shall be a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank; provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to accept an appointment to act as a successor Sustainability Structuring Agent) and give such notice to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to appoint a successor Sustainability Structuring Agent so long as there is at least one Sustainability Structuring Agent under this Agreement. In the event that there is only one Sustainability Structuring Agent under this Agreement, each reference in this Agreement to “the Sustainability Structuring Agents” and “any Sustainability Structuring Agent” shall be deemed to be a reference to “the Sustainability Structuring Agent”.

SECTION 9.11.  Titles.  The Documentation Agents and the Syndication Agent, in their capacities as such, shall have no rights, powers, duties, liabilities, fiduciary relationships or obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.13.  Acknowledgment of Banks.

(a)  Each Bank and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) this Agreement sets forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) in participating as a Bank, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans  and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Bank or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Company, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Bank and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities laws), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, any Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Bank or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Bank, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or

hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, either Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Bank or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Company and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  Each Bank and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, any Sustainability Structuring Agent acting in such capacities have made any assurances as to (i) whether the Facility meets such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, (ii) whether any characteristics of the Facility, including the characteristics of the relevant key performance indicators to which the Company will link a potential margin step-up or step-down, including their environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities and (b) each Bank and Issuing Bank has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of the Facility and whether the Facility meets its own criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or sustainability performance.

(c)  (i)   Each Bank and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Bank or such Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Bank or such Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Bank or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Bank or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Bank or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank or Issuing Bank under this Section 9.13(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(iii)  The Company hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Bank or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Company.

(iv)  Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.13(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under this Agreement or any Revolving Credit Note.

SECTION 10.01.  No Waiver; Modifications in Writing.  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank at law, in equity or otherwise.  Each request by the Company for any amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision of this Agreement shall be directed to the Administrative Agent, and no such amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the Company therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Required Banks; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent, as the case may be, which has the effect of (w) altering the pro rata sharing of payments required by, or pro rata funding requirements of, Section 2.09 or Section 9.08, (x) reducing the rate or

amount, or extending the stated maturity or due date, of any sum payable by the Company to any Bank hereunder or under such Bank’s Notes (it being understood and agreed that no amendment or modification to the definitions of the 2019 Baseline GHG Emissions, KPI Metric, the Threshold A, the Target A or to Section 2.15 nor a KPI Amendment shall constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or in the rate at which fees accrue for purposes of this clause (x)) or (y) except as provided in Section 2.08(e)(ii), Section 2.12(c)(i), Section 2.13(i) and Section 10.06(c), increasing the amount, or extending the stated expiration or termination date, of any Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, or (z) changing this Section 10.01, Section 10.06 or Section 10.07 or the definitions of the terms “Allocable Share”, “Applicable Facility Fee Percentage”, “Applicable Margin”, “Event of Default”, “Proportional Share”, “Required Banks”, “Revolving Credit Commitment”, “Total Commitment” and “Unmatured Event of Default”, or changing the designation of the “Required Banks” as the Banks entitled to direct the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be effective unless the same shall be signed by or on behalf of each Bank which is directly affected thereby; provided further that (i) no such amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent, as the case may be, which has the effect of (x) increasing the duties or obligations of any Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder, (y) increasing the standard of care or performance required on the part of any Agent or Issuing Bank hereunder, or (z) reducing or eliminating the indemnities or immunities to which any Agent or Issuing Bank is entitled hereunder (including, without limitation, any amendment or modification of this Section 10.01) shall be effective unless the same shall be signed by or on behalf of the Agent or Issuing Bank affected thereby, as the case may be and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.01, this Agreement may be amended as provided in Section 3.03(b) and Section 2.15(g).  Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Company from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 10.02.  Confidentiality.  (a)  Each Bank and Issuing Bank shall maintain in confidence and not publish, disseminate or disclose in any manner or to any Person and shall not use (x) any material, nonpublic information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries or (y) any technical, nonfinancial information, data or know-how which is identified in writing as confidential by the Company, in either case which may be furnished pursuant to this Agreement, including any such information which may be furnished pursuant to Article VI (hereinafter collectively called “Confidential Information”), in each case, other than as permitted by the Company in writing and subject to each Bank’s and Issuing Bank’s (A) obligation to disclose any such Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order under applicable laws and regulations or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, (B) right to disclose any such Confidential Information to (i) bank examiners (and other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over it or its affiliates), (ii) its affiliates, auditors, counsel, other professional advisors, brokers, insurers and reinsurers, other Banks, and other banks or other entities in connection with an offer by such Bank to sell a Participation to such other bank or other entity or to make an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(c) or (iii) market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to such Bank in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, (C) right to use any such Confidential Information in connection with the transactions set forth herein, and (D) right to disclose any such Confidential Information in connection with (i) any litigation or dispute involving the Banks or the Issuing Banks and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any transfer or other disposition by such Bank of any of its loans or other extensions of credit to the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to clause (B)(ii), (B)(iii) or (D)(ii) of this sentence shall be so disclosed subject to such procedures as are reasonably calculated to maintain the confidentiality thereof; and provided further that Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to applicable laws, regulations, subpoenas or other legal process shall be so disclosed subject to such confidentiality provisions, if any, as may be provided under applicable law.  The Banks and the Issuing Banks agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to use their best efforts promptly to notify the Company in writing

of each order, subpoena or other legal process providing for the disclosure and/or production of Confidential Information and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, use their best efforts promptly to supply the Company with a copy of such order, subpoena or other legal process, in order that the Company may intervene in the relevant administrative or legal proceeding or take other appropriate legal action to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.02, (i) the foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any such Confidential Information that was known to such Bank or Issuing Bank or any of their affiliates prior to the time it received such Confidential Information from the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, other than as a result of the disclosure thereof by a Person who, to the knowledge or reasonable belief of such Bank or Issuing Bank, was prohibited from disclosing it by any duty of confidentiality arising (under this Agreement or otherwise) by contract or law, and (ii) the foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any such Confidential Information that becomes part of the public domain independently of any act of such Bank or Issuing Bank not permitted hereunder (through publication, the issuance of a patent disclosing such information or otherwise) or when identical or substantially similar information is received by such Bank or Issuing Bank without restriction as to its disclosure or use, from a Person who, to the knowledge or reasonable belief of such Bank or Issuing Bank, was not prohibited from disclosing it by any duty of confidentiality arising (under this Agreement or otherwise) by contract or law.  The obligations of each Bank and Issuing Bank under this Section 10.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank or the replacement of such Issuing Bank.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section 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 (any such entity, a “Governmental Authority”) 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 Authority.

(b)  Each Bank acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non‑public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ securities, and it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.  In addition, all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company or any Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ securities.  Each Bank hereby advises the Company and the Agents that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non‑public information and that it will handle material non‑public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ securities in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive material non‑public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ securities in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

(d)  Any party hereto may change its address, e-mail address or fax number for notices, demands, instructions and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto or, in the case of any Bank, the Company and the Administrative Agent.

(e)  The Company agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communication (as defined below) by posting such Communication on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).  The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”.  None of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates have any liability to the Company, any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of transmission of Communications through the Platform.  For purposes of this paragraph, “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, instruction, other communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Company or the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Platform is unavailable for any reason, the Administrative Agent will provide Communications as provided in Section 10.03(a) promptly after learning of the Platform’s unavailability; and, in such event, any applicable notice period with respect to such Communication will begin to run only when given pursuant to Section 10.03(a).

SECTION 10.04.  Costs, Expenses and Other Taxes.  The Company agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the arrangement of the credit facility provided for herein and the negotiation, preparation, printing, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes, any amendments or modifications of (or supplements to) any of the foregoing and any and all other documents furnished in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel to the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers relative thereto (limited, however, to such fees and expenses of only one outside counsel who shall represent the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers), and all costs and expenses (whether of any of the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Banks, the Issuing Banks or otherwise and including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith.  The Company further agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder.   The Company shall timely pay Other Taxes to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. If any action, suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Agent, any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any other Person indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.04, the Company, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by the Company (which counsel shall be satisfactory to the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified).  If the Company shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty on the part of the Company contained herein shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend its funds for such purpose.  Any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be repayable to it by the Company immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, with interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or, when appropriate, 366 days) equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time during the period from and including the date so expended by the Administrative Agent to the date of repayment, plus (ii) two percent (2%) per annum.  The obligations of the Company under this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Company’s other obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.05.  Confirmations.  The Company and each Bank agree from time to time, upon written request received by one from the other, to confirm to the other in writing the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans of such Bank then outstanding hereunder or under any Note or Notes held by it, and each such Bank agrees from time to time, upon written request received by it from the Company, to make any Note or Notes held by it (including the schedule attached thereto) available for reasonable inspection by the Company at the office of such Bank.

SECTION 10.06.  Successors and Assigns; Participations.  (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Banks, the Agents, the Issuing Banks (including any affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that any assignment or transfer by a Bank of any or all of its rights hereunder shall not materially increase the amount which would have been payable to the Bank making such assignment or transfer by the Company under this Agreement and the Notes in the absence of such assignment or transfer; and provided further that except in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.02(a), the Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Banks.  This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement, each of their respective successors and permitted assigns, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation

Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the other Indemnitees and, to the extent set forth in Section 10.06(b), the Participants.

(b)  Any Bank may without the consent of the Company sell participations to one or more banks or other entities that, in the ordinary course of their business, regularly extend credit of the types and in the amounts extended by Banks under this Agreement (such banks and other entities hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Participants”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loan or Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Participants shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions contained in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, and Section 3.04 (provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such provisions than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred and provided further that, such Participant shall have fully complied with the provisions of Section 10.06(g) and the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 2.12), (iv) the Company, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and in connection with the cost protection provisions of this Agreement to which any Participant is entitled pursuant to this Section 10.06(b), (v) such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company relating to the Loans, (vi) such Bank shall not, except with respect only to changes in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank, or the principal amount of its Loans outstanding or amounts owed to it in respect of LC Disbursements or the Interest Rate or Interest Period with respect thereto, or the amount of any fees payable to it hereunder or extension of the Maturity Date, enter into any agreement with any Participant that would require the consent of such Participant with respect to the exercise by such Bank of its voting rights under this Agreement, and (vii) each such sale shall be made in the ordinary course of such Bank’s commercial banking business and in compliance with all applicable laws.  Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank 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 Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit, Notes or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Credit Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit, Note or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or any other applicable or successor regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank 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.

(c)  Any Bank may assign, with the prior written consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld) and after using reasonable efforts to identify an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Company, to one or more Eligible Assignees, or without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent but with the consent of each Issuing Bank (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) to one or more Banks, all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the

same portion of the applicable Loan or Loans at the time owing to it and any applicable Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Loan or Loans at the time owing to such assigning Bank and any Note or Notes held by it, (ii) except in the case of an assignment of a Bank’s entire interest hereunder, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Bank which it retains shall be in a principal amount of not less than $15,000,000 and the amount of such Revolving Credit Commitment which it assigns (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be an integral multiple of $5,000,000; provided, however, that no assignment may be made that, taken together with any simultaneous assignments, would result in any Bank having a Revolving Credit Commitment which is less than $15,000,000, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except that such fee shall not be payable if the Eligible Assignee is an affiliate of the assignor Bank), (iv) each such assignment shall be made in the ordinary course of the assigning Bank’s commercial banking business and in compliance with all applicable laws, (v) no such assignment shall be effective unless the Eligible Assignee to which such assignment is made has fully complied with the provisions of Section 10.06(g), (vi) the Company shall have received a copy of the Assignment and Acceptance signed by the parties thereto and (vii) the consent of an Issuing Bank shall not be required if (x) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Company under Section 8.01(e) or 8.01(f) and (y) such Issuing Bank has no outstanding Letters of Credit at such time.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (x) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, (y) the assignor Bank thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released (except as provided in Section 2.12(b), Section 10.02 and Section 10.07) from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07), and (z) Schedule I and Schedule II shall be deemed amended to reflect the assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(c) and the decrease in the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assignor Bank.  Each assignee of an interest under this Agreement and any Note shall take such interest subject to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance related to such assignment, and, until the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Company shall be entitled conclusively to assume that no assignment of any interest under this Agreement and any Note has been made by any Bank or any assignee.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.06, any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note or Notes held by it to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank authority; provided that no such assignment shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder.

(d)  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor Bank and the Eligible Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) the assignor Bank represents and warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, (ii) such assignor Bank makes no representation or warranty, and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made by the Company in or in connection with this Agreement or with the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignor Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Company or the

performance or observance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iv) such Eligible Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement together with copies of the financial statements and other documents referred to in Section 5.01(e), Section 6.01(a)(i), Section 6.01(a)(ii) and Section 6.01(a)(v) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (v) such Eligible Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assignor Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (vi) such Eligible Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (vii) such Eligible Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations, in accordance with the terms thereof, of the assignor Bank under this Agreement which are assumed by such Eligible Assignee under such Assignment and Acceptance and (viii) such Eligible Assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee.

(e)  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at its address listed on Schedule II a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Agents, the Banks and the Issuing Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Bank or any Issuing Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and the written consent of the Company to such assignment, if required hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in the form of Exhibit F (or as agreed upon by the Company and the Administrative Agent), (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company, and (iv) deliver a copy of such Assignment and Acceptance to the Company.  Within five Business Days after receipt of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Company, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note or Notes a new Note or Notes to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to its portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Bank has retained any Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a new Note or Notes to the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A.  Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Bank shall be marked “canceled” and returned by the Administrative Agent or the assigning Bank to the Company.

(g)  If, pursuant to this Section 10.06, any interest in this Agreement, any Loan or any Note is transferred to any Participant (a “Transferee”) that is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the transferor Bank shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Bank (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Company) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Company or the transferor Bank with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of the Loans,

(ii) to furnish to the transferor Bank in duplicate, for each taxable year of such Transferee during which interest arising under or in connection with this Agreement is received, and before payment by the Company of any such interest during such year (or at any other time as required under United States income tax law), a properly completed and executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI and any additional form (or such other form) as is necessary to claim complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding taxes (wherein such Transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder), (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Company) to provide to the transferor Bank a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI and any such additional form (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable United States laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption, and (iv) to represent to the transferor Bank (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Company) that the form or forms so filed will be true and complete.  If a Transferee is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the transferor Bank shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to furnish to the transferor Bank in duplicate, for each taxable year of such Transferee during which interest arising under or in connection with this Agreement is received, and before payment by the Company of any such interest during such year (or at any other time as required under United States income tax law), a properly completed and executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding, (ii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Company) to provide to the transferor Bank a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any such additional form (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable United States laws and regulations with regard to such backup withholding tax exemption, and (iii) to represent to the transferor Bank (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Company) that the form or forms so filed will be true and complete.

(a)  In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Banks and the Issuing Banks and the agreement to extend and maintain the credit provided hereunder, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold each of the Banks, the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks, their respective affiliates and each of the officers, directors, employees and agents of each of the Banks, the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and such affiliates (herein collectively called the “Indemnitees” and individually called an “Indemnitee”), free and harmless from and against any and all actions, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel, but excluding the allocated cost of internal counsel, representing all of the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnities, taken as whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Company of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, those of another firm of counsel for each such affected Indemnitee and, if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction))) (herein collectively called the “Indemnified Liabilities”), which may be incurred by or asserted against the

Indemnitees or any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to, or in connection with, any investigation, litigation or proceeding (whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any of its affiliates, it being understood that nothing herein shall relieve any Bank of liability for a breach of its agreements contained herein) related to this Agreement, including (i) any use made or proposed to be made by the Company of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any such use or proposed use, (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact made by the Company in connection therewith, or (iv) the omission or alleged omission by the Company to state in connection therewith a material fact required to be so stated or necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto, and, to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law; provided, however, that there shall be no right to indemnification or contribution under this Section 10.07 for Indemnified Liabilities based upon or arising out of actions or omissions by any Bank or Issuing Bank in a capacity other than that of a lender to the Company or an issuer of letters of credit for the account of the Company, by any Agent in its capacity other than that as agent for the Banks and the Issuing Banks hereunder or by any Joint Lead Arranger other than in its capacity as a joint lead arranger hereunder.  Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to promptly notify the Company of each event of which it has knowledge which may give rise to a claim under the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.07.  If any action, suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Agent, Bank or Issuing Bank or any other Person indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.07, the Company, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified).  Each Indemnitee will cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding.  If the Company shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty on the part of the Company contained herein shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend its funds for such purpose.  Any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be repayable to it by the Company immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, with interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or, when appropriate, 366 days) equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time during the period from and including the date so expended by the Administrative Agent to the date of repayment, plus (ii) two percent (2%) per annum.  The Company shall have no obligation to any Indemnitee under this Section 10.07 to the extent that Indemnified Liabilities result from (x) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnitee, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) such Indemnitee’s material breach (or the material breach by any of such Indemnitee’s controlled affiliates and controlling persons and its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents advisors and other representatives thereof directly involved in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, in the case of agents, advisors and other representatives, only to the extent acting on behalf or at the instruction of such Indemnitee or its controlled affiliates or controlling persons) of its obligations under this Agreement as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction and (z) disputes solely among the Indemnitees not arising from or in connection with any act or omission by the Company or any of its affiliates (other than any claim, litigation, arbitration, investigation or proceeding against the Administrative Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger, in each case, in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as such).  The obligations of the Company under this Section 10.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Company’s other

obligations hereunder.  The obligations of each Bank and Issuing Bank (and of each other Indemnitee with respect to such Bank or Issuing Bank) under this Section 10.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank or the replacement of such Bank or Issuing Bank. This Section 10.07 shall not apply with respect to Taxes (other than Taxes that represent Indemnified Liabilities arising from a non-Tax claim), which shall be governed solely by Sections 2.08, 2.12 and 10.04.

(b)  To the extent permitted by applicable law (i)   the Company shall not assert, and the Company hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, either Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Bank, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Bank-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii)   no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 10.07(b) shall relieve the Company of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 10.07(a), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

SECTION 10.08.  Replacement of Banks.  If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall fail to execute and deliver any amendment, consent or waiver to this Agreement requested by the Company (i) that under Section 10.01 requires the consent of all Banks and (ii) with respect to which the Required Banks shall have granted their consent by the date specified by the Company (each such Bank or Issuing Bank being called a “Non-Consenting Bank”), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to take any of the actions set forth in Section 2.13 with respect to such Non-Consenting Bank.

SECTION 10.09.  USA Patriot Act.  Each Bank hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Company in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

SECTION 10.10.  Headings.  Article and Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
