ARTICLE 2
Amounts And Terms Of The Advances
Amounts And Terms Of The Advances
Section 2.01 The Advances.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
(i) each Lender severally agrees to make a loan in Dollars to Borrower on the Initial
Funding Date in an amount requested by Borrower, such amount not to exceed such Lender’s Closing Date Commitment (any such loan, an “Initial Advance”); provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Advances shall not be less than the Minimum Aggregate Initial Advance Amount
or more than the Aggregate Closing Date Commitment Amount,
(ii) if the Advances made on the Initial Funding Date are less than the Aggregate Closing Date Commitment Amount, at any time
from time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the Accordion Funding Date, each Lender severally agrees to make a loan in Dollars to Borrower on the date agreed for
making of such loan (a “Delayed Funding Date”) in an amount requested by Borrower, such amount not to exceed any then‑available Closing Date Commitment of such Lender (any such loan, a “Delayed Advance”) (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the aggregate
principal amount of all Advances outstanding immediately after giving effect to any such Delayed Advances shall not exceed the Aggregate Closing Date Commitment Amount), and
32
(iii) at any time after the Delayed Funding Date, if applicable, and prior to the sixteenth-month anniversary of the Closing
Date, each Lender severally agrees to make an additional loan in Dollars to Borrower on the date agreed for the making of such additional loan (the “Accordion Funding Date”) in an amount
requested by Borrower, such amount not to exceed such Lender’s Accordion Commitment (any such loan, an “Accordion Advance” and together with the Initial Advances and Delayed Advances, if
applicable, the “Advances” and each an “Advance”); provided that the aggregate
principal amount of all Accordion Advances shall not exceed the Aggregate Accordion Commitment Amount; provided, further, that there shall be only one Accordion
Funding Date,
in each case, by making immediately available funds available to Administrative Agent (or an account designated by Administrative Agent). After Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds on the relevant Funding Date
and upon fulfillment of the relevant conditions set forth in Article 4, Administrative Agent shall make such funds as it has received available to Borrower by depositing such funds into the Funding Account; provided
that Administrative Agent shall, at Borrower’s request, net any Advance due to Borrower against any amount payable by Borrower hereunder in accordance with each Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage. Following the Delayed Funding Date and the
Accordion Funding Date, as the case may be, the unused portion of any relevant Commitments shall be permanently terminated.
(b) Any Advance or any portion thereof, once prepaid or repaid, may not be reborrowed.
(c) At any time, Borrower shall use the same reference interest rate with respect to all Advances hereunder.
(d) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the relevant Funding Date (or such lesser period as Administrative
Agent shall approve), Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of its request for the relevant Advances on such Funding Date by providing a Borrowing Notice, and such notice shall include the reference interest rate that Borrower elects with
respect to such Advances, subject to clause (c) above. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such borrowing.
Section 2.02 Repayment Of Advances. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Administrative Agent (or to an account
designated by Administrative Agent) the Total Accrued Loan Amount on the Scheduled Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Total Accrued Loan Amount becomes due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof. Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such repayment. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the entire amount of the repayment, Administrative Agent shall transfer the repayment to each Lender on a Pro Rata
Basis, in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage with respect to the Facility.
Section 2.03 Interest.
(a) Ordinary Interest. The principal amount of each Advance, and any compounded interest thereon, shall
accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, and such interest shall be payable in kind on each Interest Payment Date, by adding the amount of such
33
interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances; provided that, if Borrower elects, by written notice to Administrative Agent
at least five (5) Business Days’ prior to any Interest Payment Date to pay all or any portion of the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date in cash, such interest or the relevant portion thereof will be payable in cash , in arrears, on the
relevant Interest Payment Date. The total amount of interest due on each Interest Payment Date shall be computed by Joint Calculation Agents on the immediately preceding Business Day, calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed and a year of
360 days, in the case of SOFR Advances, and calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed and a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of Base Rate Advances, and the Joint Calculation Agents shall notify Borrower of the
total amount of interest due on each Interest Payment Date on such immediately preceding Business Day.
(b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount is not paid when due hereunder, whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to two percent (2%) above the Applicable Rate from the date such amount was due to but excluding the date that such
amount shall be paid in full, payable on demand (and in any event in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full).
Section 2.04 Fees.
As set forth in the Additional Terms Letter.
Section 2.05 Interest Rate Determinations. Administrative Agent shall give notice to Borrower and each Lender of the applicable
interest rates for the purposes of Section 2.03 and any calculation related thereto.
Section 2.06 Prepayments Of Advances; Collateral Shortfall; Withdrawal Of Collateral.
(a) Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances (including with Cash held as
Collateral), in whole or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any amount due under Section 2.04(b) and/or Section 2.07(f) (and, in the case of a prepayment of all Advances, all other Obligations that are then due and
payable or will become due and payable on account of such prepayment), at any time and from time to time upon notice thereof given to Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), who shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof, by
Borrower not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date two (2) Business Days prior to the date of any such prepayment in the case of a SOFR Advance and on the date one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of a Base Rate
Advance; provided, however, that (i) each prepayment shall be made on a Pro Rata Basis and (ii) each partial prepayment of the Advances shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $15,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.06(a) to the contrary, the notice requirements and prepayment minimum amount requirements shall be waived with respect
to any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(ii) or 2.06(d)(i)(B).
(b) Following the occurrence of any Mandatory Prepayment Event, Administrative Agent may, or upon request of any
Lender shall (or, if Administrative Agent fails to do so promptly when requested, any Lender may), provide written notice to Borrower that it is requiring a
34
prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) in connection therewith (a “Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice”). On the second
Business Day immediately following such Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice, (i) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11 the Total Accrued Loan Amount and (ii) all Commitments shall immediately be terminated.
(c) If a Collateral Shortfall occurs on any date on or after the Initial Funding Date, Administrative Agent may,
or, at the request of any Lender, shall (or, if the Administrative Agent fails to do so promptly when so requested, any Lender may), deliver a notice in the form set forth in Exhibit F hereto to Borrower and all other Lenders of the occurrence of
such Collateral Shortfall (such notice, a “Collateral Call Notice”). Upon Borrower’s receipt of any Collateral Call Notice in accordance with Section 9.02, Borrower shall, prior to the
applicable Cure Time, in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the LTV Ratio (determined based on the Reference Price as in effect on the date that the Collateral Shortfall occurred) to be less than or equal to the LTV Maintenance Level:
(i) post Cash, Cash Equivalents or Other Acceptable Collateral to the Collateral
Accounts, in each case, on a Pro Rata Basis; and/or
(ii) prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances on a Pro Rata Basis, and pay any related
amounts, pursuant to Section 2.06(a).
Borrower and each Applicable Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Custodian provides online informational access (or, if such online access is not available, to timely
deliver account statements and advices of transactions) for all Collateral Accounts to Administrative Agent and each other Applicable Lender.
Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day following the first Scheduled Trading Day on which Borrower has received (in accordance with Section 9.02) the relevant Collateral Call Notice by
the Collateral Call Notice Deadline, Borrower shall deliver a notice to Administrative Agent (which notice may be given by email) (x) acknowledging Borrower’s receipt of such Collateral Call Notice, (y) confirming that Borrower will cure the relevant
Collateral Shortfall prior to the Cure Time and (z) stating the manner in which Borrower will cure such Collateral Shortfall.
(d) Borrower shall only be permitted to request the release of Collateral if (x) Borrower delivers written notice (which may be by
email) of such release to Administrative Agent (who shall give to each Applicable Lender prompt notice thereof) on or before 6:00 p.m. on the second Business Day prior to the requested date of the release, and (y) Administrative Agent is reasonably
satisfied that the additional conditions set forth in one of clauses (i) through (iii) below are met (in which case Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify each Applicable Lender):
(i) Borrower may request the release of any Collateral Shares from the Collateral
Accounts as long as:
(A) (x) the Collateral Shares are being released on a Pro Rata Basis for the purpose
of (i) settling sales of such Collateral Shares for Cash at a fair market value (taking into account any commercially reasonable block discount and underwriting or similar fees and related transaction expenses) on an arm’s‑length
35
basis or in a commercially reasonable manner where the scheduled settlement date for each such sale (excluding registered offerings that settle on a settlement cycle that is
customary for registered offerings) is no later than one standard settlement cycle following execution of such sale (it being understood that a “T+3” settlement cycle shall be deemed to be standard for purposes herein) (any such sale satisfying
the applicable conditions of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E), a “Permitted Sale Transaction”) or (ii) distributing Shares to certain employees of KKR Entities in connection with any
Permitted Sale Transaction in an amount not to exceed 1% of the aggregate number of Collateral Shares sold in such Permitted Sale Transaction;
(B) a portion of the cash proceeds of each such Permitted Sale Transaction will be paid, on a delivery versus payment basis
against the delivery of the relevant Collateral Shares from the relevant Collateral Accounts or pursuant to other settlement and escrow arrangements reasonably acceptable to each Applicable Lender, to Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 2.11 to prepay Borrower’s Obligations on a Pro Rata Basis in an amount sufficient to cause the LTV Ratio, immediately following such release, to be less than the LTV Maintenance Level (such amount required to be paid, the “Required Sale Proceeds Amount”);
(C) all cash proceeds of each such Permitted Sale shall be an amount at least equal to or greater than the Required Sale
Proceeds Amount;
(D) such Permitted Sale Transaction complies with applicable law and Issuer’s
Organization Documents, as certified by Borrower to Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction; and
(E) no Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred (unless such Mandatory Prepayment
Event has been cured or waived) and no Collateral Shortfall, Default, Event of Default or Adjustment Determination Period shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such release.
To facilitate a sale of Collateral Shares pursuant to this clause (i), each Applicable Lender shall release its Lien over the Collateral Shares being sold immediately upon its receipt of the related
Required Sale Proceeds Amount, and shall, if required, enter into any agreement or other arrangement reasonably satisfactory to such Applicable Lender with the broker or dealer through whom such Shares are being sold. In connection with a release of
Collateral Shares pursuant to this clause (i), each Applicable Lender and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with Borrower in converting any Book-Entry Collateral Shares to DTC Collateral Shares, to the extent such Book-Entry Collateral Shares
are then eligible under applicable securities laws to be so converted for purposes of settling such Permitted Sale Transaction, and any required rebalancing resulting therefrom shall be effected pursuant to Section 2.14 below.
In all cases, Collateral Shares shall be released in the following order: (A) Collateral Shares that are subject to any Transfer Restrictions (whether in the hands of the Borrower or in the hands of
a Lender exercising its rights and remedies under the Margin Loan Documentation), with such Collateral Shares most recently transferred to any Collateral Account by or on behalf of Borrower
36
or its Affiliates subject to release prior to such Collateral Shares transferred to such Collateral Account prior thereto, until no further Collateral Shares subject to any Transfer Restrictions in the hands of a
Lender exercising its rights and remedies under the Margin Loan Documentation remain pledged under the Security Agreements and Control Agreements in a Collateral Account and (B) Collateral Shares not subject to any Transfer Restrictions in the hands
of a Lender exercising its rights and remedies under the Margin Loan Documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any release of the Collateral Shares pursuant to this Section 2.06(d)(i), all Book‑Entry Collateral Shares shall be
released prior to any DTC Collateral Shares, and any and all Converted DTC Collateral Shares shall be released prior to any other DTC Collateral Shares.
(ii) Borrower may request a release of Cash or Cash Equivalents that constitute Collateral on a Pro Rata Basis, as long as:
(A) the LTV Ratio before, and immediately after giving effect to such release shall not exceed the LTV Release Level; and
(B) no Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred (unless such Mandatory Prepayment Event has been cured or waived) and Collateral Shortfall,
no Default, Event of Default or Adjustment Determination Period shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such release;
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, following any receipt by
Borrower of dividends or distributions in respect of any Collateral Shares or sales proceeds from any Permitted Sale Transaction, Borrower may release Cash from the Collateral Accounts in an amount not to exceed the relevant taxes payable with
respect thereto (and in no event greater than the amount of such dividends or sales proceeds) that are actually incurred by Borrower, its regarded owner, or its Affiliates, in each case without giving effect to the condition set forth in clause
2.06(d)(ii)(A) (but subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, clause 2.06(d)(ii)(B)); provided, further, that the LTV Ratio immediately after giving effect to such release shall not exceed the LTV Maintenance
Level.
(iii) Borrower may request a transfer of Collateral consisting of Cash on a Pro Rata
Basis from the Collateral Accounts to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11 to make any payment required under Section 2.03.
By requesting any release of Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.06(d), Borrower shall be deemed to represent that the conditions set forth herein for such release have been satisfied.
(e) Posting Additional Collateral.
(i) Borrower may post, at any time on at least two (2) Business Days’ notice, Cash or
Cash Equivalents constituting Acceptable Collateral to the Collateral Accounts; provided that each type of Collateral shall be posted to the Collateral Accounts on a Pro Rata Basis; provided further that such Collateral to be posted under this Section 2.06(e)(i) at any one time shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and such posted Collateral shall not be taken into account for
purposes of determining the LTV Ratio on the Business Day on which such Collateral is posted unless and until such Collateral is deposited into the Collateral Accounts, with a SWIFT code evidencing such posting to be furnished to the
37
Joint Calculation Agents. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower may not pledge any Shares as Collateral Shares except for (x) the Initial Collateral Shares in connection with
the Initial Advances and Delayed Advances and (y) the Additional Collateral Shares in connection with the Accordion Advances.
(ii) Borrower shall cause Issuer or its transfer agent to deposit into, or credit to, the relevant Collateral Accounts, or,
in the case of any property or assets other than Cash and securities entitlements, deliver to the Custodian (subject to the Applicable Lenders’ reasonable delivery instructions), any Ordinary Cash Dividend or Extraordinary Distribution paid or
distributed on the Collateral Shares, or any securities or securities entitlements (x) exchanged for, or delivered upon conversion, of the Collateral Shares in a Merger Event or similar event or (y) delivered in respect of the Collateral Shares
in connection with a Spin‑off, and if any such Cash, securities, securities entitlements or other property or assets are received by Borrower for any reason, Borrower shall make such deposit or delivery as promptly as practicable and in any event
no later than two (2) Business Days following such receipt (and pending such delivery, shall hold such property in trust for the Applicable Lenders), subject, in each case, to any subsequent release thereof in accordance with Section 2.06(d).
Borrower shall not tender any Collateral Shares in any tender or exchange offer (including, without limitation, a Split‑off) without the consent of each Lender.
Section 2.07 Increased Costs; Break Funding. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
(including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
(ii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes)
affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender or participation therein; or
(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (3) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining the Advances hereunder (or of maintaining its Commitment) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by any Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reasonable additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.
(b) If a Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or
liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Lender, to a
level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s
38
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any actual losses with respect to such reduction.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts (and the calculation
thereof) necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to Administrative Agent, who shall deliver or cause to be delivered such certificate to
Borrower. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate promptly after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07 for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180‑day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.07 or Borrower must
pay increased amounts or any amounts for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.08, then the applicable Lender will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Advance, or portion
thereof, affected by the relevant event if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation would (i) avoid the requirement for or reduce the amount of such compensation, increased amounts or amounts for Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that such efforts need only be made on terms that, in the commercially reasonable
judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section 2.07(e) shall affect
or postpone any of the Obligations of Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(a) through (d) or Section 2.08. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation.
(f) Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request (in the form of a certificate) by such Lender
(which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), for all reasonable loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) deemed to be
incurred by it (determined pursuant to the following paragraph) as a result of:
(i) any payment or prepayment of an Advance on a day other than an Interest Payment
Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
39
(ii) any failure by Borrower to prepay or borrow any Advance on the date or in the
amount notified by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance in breach of its obligation hereunder).
Such loss, cost or expense for any Lender shall be deemed to be an amount determined by such Lender equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such
Advance had such event not occurred, at the reference interest rate that would have been applicable to such Advance, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Advance), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.
(g) All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.07 shall survive termination of the Facility and repayment
of all other Obligations hereunder.
(h) If any Lender requests payment of any amounts in respect of increased costs or compensation for a reduction
in the rate of return on the capital of any Lender or its holding company under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.07 and no Default, Event of Default, Mandatory Prepayment Event or Collateral Shortfall has occurred and is continuing, or would
occur as a result therefrom, Borrower may elect, within five Business Days following receipt of such request, to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances held by such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon
and any amount due under Section 2.07(f) (and all other Obligations that are then due and payable or will become due and payable on account of such prepayment). In the case of any such prepayment, all Collateral securing such prepaid Advances shall
promptly be distributed on a Pro Rata Basis to the Collateral Accounts controlled by the other Lenders, as determined by Administrative Agent.
Section 2.08 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any
Margin Loan Documentation shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Administrative Agent) requires the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Administrative Agent or Borrower, then Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) each Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
40
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental
Authority pursuant to this Section 2.08, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lenders and Agents, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.08) payable or paid by Lenders or Agents or required to be withheld or deducted from
any payment to any Lender or Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Status of Lenders.
(i) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes
with respect to payments made under any Margin Loan Documentation, it shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.08(e)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in a Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice
the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) if any Lender is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative
Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) if any Lender is a Foreign Lender, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
41
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Margin Loan Documentation, executed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or an applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Margin Loan Documentation, IRS Form W‑8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or an applicable
successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H‑1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent
shareholder” of the regarded owner of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or an applicable successor form); or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of
IRS Form W‑8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI, IRS Form W‑8BEN, IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or an applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H‑2 or Exhibit H‑3, IRS Form W‑9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the
portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H‑4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver
to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipients) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
42
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation would be subject
to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 Lender shall
deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine
that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification
or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
The Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower, on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, either (i) a duly executed copy of an IRS Form W‑9 (or any applicable
successor form) certifying that the Administrative Agent is not subject to backup withholding, or (ii) a duly executed copy of an IRS Form W‑8IMY (or any applicable successor form) establishing that the Administrative Agent will act as a withholding
agent for any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed with respect to any payment made to Lenders under any Margin Loan Documentation. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position
to provide the certification described in the preceding sentence.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or Agent 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 2.08 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08), it shall pay to Borrower or Agent an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.08 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or Agent and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or Agent, shall repay to such Lender or Agent 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 Lender or Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph
(f) in no event will any Lender or Agent
43
be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place such Lender or Agent in a less favorable net after‑Tax position than such
Lender or Agent 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 shall not be construed to require any Lender or Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
(g) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within
10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of
Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case,
that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Margin Loan Documentation, 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 Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent
under this paragraph (g).
(h) Borrower’s regarded owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall deliver to each Agent, on or before the
Closing Date (and thereafter promptly from time to time upon the reasonable request of an Agent), (i) a duly executed copy of a IRS Form W‑9 certifying that it is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) a duly executed
certification in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445‑2(b)(2) to the effect that Borrower’s regarded owner is not a “foreign person” as defined under Section 1445 of the Code. Borrower or its regarded owner shall promptly notify each
Agent in writing at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide the IRS Form or certification described in the preceding sentence.
(i) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Administrative
Agent (including following a Change in Law, a change in the jurisdiction or location of material business activities of Issuer or an identifiable change in circumstances with respect to Issuer) such properly completed and executed documentation
that it is legally, and pursuant to its Organization Documents and other confidentiality obligations, entitled to deliver and that is reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in order to permit a Lender or Lenders to exercise its rights under
Section 7.02 hereof or under the Security Agreement in a manner that would be reasonably be expected to avoid or, to the extent possible, minimize the imposition or increase in a withholding Tax that would result in a reduction in proceeds
receivable by a Lender or Lenders upon exercise of such rights; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.08(i), the preparation or delivery of such documentation shall not be required if in Borrower’s good faith
judgment such preparation or delivery would subject Borrower (or its Affiliates) to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Borrower (or its Affiliates).
44
Section 2.09 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify Borrower and
Administrative Agent that any Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to perform its obligations to make or maintain its Advance hereunder as SOFR Advances, the obligation of such Lender to
make or continue such Advances shall be terminated and all such Advances shall become Base Rate Advances either on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Advances to such day, or immediately,
if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain the Advances. For the avoidance of doubt, the giving of notice under this Section 2.09 with respect to the invalidity of Term SOFR determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof
without giving effect to clause (a)(ii) of the definition thereof shall not affect the ability of Borrower to incur Daily SOFR Advances pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of the definition thereof.
Section 2.10 Evidence Of Debt.
(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b) Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Advance made
hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder from Borrower and each Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof.
(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Subsection (a) above shall be prima facie
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d) No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Advances by Lenders to Borrower. Upon the request of a
Lender, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by such Lender, which shall evidence the Advances to Borrower by such Lender in addition
to such records. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.
Section 2.11 Payments and Computations.
(a) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day when due (subject to Section 2.06(c), with respect to any payment made to cure a Collateral Shortfall) in Dollars to Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute (x) to each Lender its share,
45
determined on a Pro Rata Basis (or other applicable basis as provided herein), of such payment or (y) in the case of a payment under Section 2.07(h), to the Lender whose Advances are
being prepaid, the entire amount of such payment, in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (subject to
Section 2.06(c), with respect to any payment made to cure a Collateral Shortfall) and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees, as the case may be.
(c) All payments (including prepayments) made in respect of the Obligations shall be applied to amounts then due
and payable in the following order, ratably in accordance with the percentage of any such amounts owed to each Lender (or, in the case of a payment under Section 2.07(h), solely in respect of the Advances being prepaid): (A) any expenses and
indemnities payable by Borrower to Lenders under any Margin Loan Documentation; (B) to any accrued and unpaid interest and fees due under this Agreement; (C) to principal payments on the outstanding Advances; and (D) to the extent of any excess, to
the payment of all other Obligations under the Margin Loan Documentation; provided that all amounts received in connection with the exercise of any Applicable Lender’s rights after an Event of Default shall
be applied to the Obligations owing to such Applicable Lender and any relevant Agented Lenders, ratably among the Obligations owing to such Applicable Lender and any relevant Agented Lenders or in accordance with such other arrangements as have
been agreed among such Applicable Lender and such Agented Lender(s), as the case may be.
Section 2.12 Accelerating Lenders.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to clause (b) below), if one or more Lenders
become Accelerating Lenders:
(i) each Accelerating Lender, solely for purposes of determining the rights and
obligations of such Lender vis à vis the Borrower, shall be deemed to be:
(A) the Administrative Agent and Joint Calculation Agents hereunder; and
(B) the sole Lender hereunder for all purposes and, for the avoidance of doubt, no other
Lender’s consent shall be necessary for any modification of such rights and obligations; and
(ii) solely for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of all Lenders that
are not Accelerating Lenders among themselves and vis à vis the Borrower:
(A) each Accelerating Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a Lender hereunder and,
for the avoidance of doubt, such Accelerating Lender’s consent shall not be necessary for any modification of such rights and obligations; and
46
(B) if the Administrative Agent or any Joint Calculation Agent is an Accelerating
Lender, a replacement therefor shall be selected from among the Lenders that are not Accelerating Lenders as if such Agent had resigned.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following one or more Lenders becoming Accelerating Lenders, Borrower, for the
avoidance of doubt, shall not make any payments of its Obligations or post any Collateral except on a Pro Rata Basis (without regard to clause (a) above). For the avoidance of doubt, the application of proceeds received by an Applicable Lender in
respect of an exercise of its remedies under the Margin Loan Documentation shall not be considered a payment by Borrower for purposes of this clause (b).
Section 2.13 Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Advance, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender that has a Commitment hereunder has
made the relevant Advance available on the date of such Advance in accordance with Section 2.01 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made the
relevant Advance available to Administrative Agent, then such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the Applicable Rate. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such Advance to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Advance included in such borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.
(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment
on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
47
(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Advances and to make
payments pursuant to Section 9.04(e) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance or to make any payment under Section 9.04(e) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Advance or to make its payment under Section 9.04(e).
Section 2.14 Rebalancing.
(a) Subject to Section 2.12, if, as of any Interest Payment Date (or any other date on which any Applicable
Lender gives written notice to Administrative Agent that any Collateral in the Collateral Accounts is not held on a Pro Rata Basis), any Collateral in the Collateral Accounts is not held on a Pro Rata Basis for any reason, then on, or as promptly
as practicable following, such date, the Applicable Lenders shall cause any transfers of Collateral from the Collateral Accounts that they control to Collateral Accounts controlled by other Applicable Lenders as may be necessary, as determined by
Administrative Agent, to ensure that the Collateral in the Collateral Accounts is held on a Pro Rata Basis and subject to the Share Segregation Condition. Each Applicable Lender agrees to cooperate in good faith with Administrative Agent to effect
such rebalancing, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by submitting written instructions to the Custodian to effect such transfers. Borrower hereby consents to, and to the extent necessary will cooperate in good faith with, such transfers.
(b) Subject to Section 2.12, if, as of any Interest Payment Date (or any other date on which any Applicable
Lender gives written notice to Administrative Agent that any Book‑Entry Collateral Shares are not held on a Pro Rata Basis), the Book‑Entry Collateral Shares are not held on a Pro Rata Basis for any reason, then on, or as promptly as practicable
following, such date, the Administrative Agent shall (i) by notice to each Applicable Lender and Borrower, adjust as necessary the number of Book‑Entry Collateral Shares for each Applicable Lender under the applicable Security Agreement to ensure
that the Book‑Entry Collateral Shares are held on a Pro Rata Basis and subject to the Share Segregation Condition and (ii) provide written notice to the Issuer (or its transfer agent), each Applicable Lender and the Borrower as contemplated in the
Issuer Agreements of the number of Book‑Entry Collateral Shares that, following such adjustment, constitute Collateral for each Applicable Lender. Borrower hereby consents to, and to the extent necessary will cooperate in good faith with, such
adjustments and as contemplated by the Issuer Agreement.
Section 2.15 Continuation; Conversion. Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent given not later than 12:00 p.m. at least
three (3) Business Days prior to the date of conversion or continuation (i) if the Advances are Base Rate Advances, convert the Advances to SOFR Advances on any day or (ii)(w) if the Advances are SOFR Advances, convert the Advances to Base Rate
Advances or to SOFR Advances that bear interest based on a different tenor of Term SOFR from the tenor that is then used to calculate interest for such SOFR Advances or (y) if the Advances are SOFR Advances, continue the Advances as such, with the
same tenor of Term SOFR that is then used to calculate interest for such SOFR Advances, for an additional Interest Period, in each case on the last day of the then outstanding Interest Period in respect thereof. Any such notice shall (i) state the
continuation or conversion date for such continuation or conversion (which shall, except on the case of a conversion of Base Rate Advances into SOFR Advances, be the last
48
day of the then outstanding Interest Period in respect thereof) and (ii) state whether the Advance or Advances are to be converted to or continued as SOFR Advances or Base Rate Advances. If Borrower shall have failed
to give to Administrative Agent a timely notice of continuation or conversion pursuant to this Section 2.15 the Advances shall be deemed continued as Advances of the same type for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the then outstanding
Interest Period in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any Advance that is converted to a Three‑Month SOFR Advance shall be deemed to have been made on the date of such conversion for purposes of the definition of Interest Period.
Section 2.16 Inability to Determine Rates.
If Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that for any reason in connection with any request for a conversion to or continuation of any SOFR
Advance that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Advance, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of
the Lenders to make or maintain SOFR Advances shall be suspended until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request made by it for a
conversion to or continuation of any SOFR Advance and make any such request into a request for a borrowing of Daily SOFR Advances, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Advances in
the amount specified therein.

50
is no proposed Tax assessment asserted in writing, or to the knowledge of Borrower or General Partner, proposed, against Borrower or General Partner. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of Borrower and General
Partner is a disregarded entity the sole owner of which is a U.S. Person that is treated as a partnership. As of the Closing Date, neither Borrower nor General Partner is (a) subject to Tax in any jurisdiction other than the United States or any
subdivision thereof or (b) resident for Tax purposes in any other jurisdiction under any applicable law. To the knowledge of Borrower and General Partner, the Collateral Shares do not, as of the date hereof, constitute “United States real property
interests” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code.
Section 3.09 Disclosure. Borrower has disclosed to each Agent and Lender (x) all agreements, instruments and corporate or other

in a Material Adverse Effect, and (y) any shareholders’ agreement, investor rights agreement or any voting or other contractual restriction, including any lock‑up agreement, relating to the Collateral Shares. All information provided by or on behalf
of Borrower or General Partner to the Agents and Lenders in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation or the Transactions is complete and correct in all material respects and

or a transaction for which its remaining assets are unreasonably small in relation to such business or transaction and (iv) such Person does not intend to incur or believe that it will incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they become due. Neither
Borrower nor General Partner will be rendered insolvent by the consummation of the Transactions.
For purposes of this Section 3.11, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time,
represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
51

Collateral Shares since such date; such Affiliate of Borrower contributed such Initial DTC Collateral Shares to Borrower on or prior to the Initial Funding Date, and such Initial DTC Collateral Shares are not “restricted securities” (within the
meaning of Rule 144(a)(3)) in the hands of the Borrower and (ii) an Affiliate of Borrower acquired the Initial Book‑Entry Collateral Shares on May 16, 2025 and has continuously owned such Initial Book‑Entry Collateral Shares since such date; such

the open market or a financial institution or other Person that it has no reason to believe is an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 144) of the Issuer prior to the Accordion Funding Date and has continuously owned such Additional Collateral
Shares since such purchase, and such Additional Collateral Shares are not “restricted securities” (within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3)) in the hands of the Borrower.

Agreements, do not require any opinions from Issuer’s counsel, or the removal of any “stop transfer order,” or the delivery of any documentation (other than as set forth in the Issuer Agreement), prior to the sale of such Shares, other than, solely
with respect to Book‑Entry Collateral Shares, any such legend or requirement that constitutes a Permitted Transfer Restriction and (iv) are not subject to any shareholders’ agreement, investor rights agreement or any other similar agreement or any
voting or other contractual restriction, other than the Strategic Partnership Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Voting Agreements and the Issuer Agreement.
52
(f) Borrower has instructed the Issuer to deliver any dividends or distributions relating to the Collateral
Shares to the applicable Collateral Account pursuant to Section 8 of each Issuer Agreement, and has not revoked such instruction.
Section 3.13 Subsidiaries. Borrower does not have any Subsidiaries (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that Issuer
shall not be considered a Subsidiary of Borrower). General Partner does not have any Subsidiaries other than Borrower.
Section 3.14 Anti‑Corruption Laws and Sanctions. Each of Borrower and General Partner and their respective managers, officers,

(g) any material provision of any Margin Loan Documentation for any reason ceases to be valid, binding and
enforceable in accordance with its terms (or Borrower, General Partner or any other KKR Entity shall challenge in writing the enforceability of any Margin Loan Documentation or shall assert in writing, or engage in any action or inaction based on
any such assertion, that any provision of any of the Margin Loan Documentation has ceased to be or otherwise is not valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms);
(h) any of the Security Agreements shall for any reason (other than the failure of the Applicable Lender to take
any action within its control) fail to create a valid first priority Lien, perfected by control (within the meaning of the UCC), in the Collateral (subject to no other Lien, other than Permitted Liens), except as permitted by the terms of the

then the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Specified Event of Default, any Lender), may, or, at the direction of the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Specified
Event of Default, any Lender) shall, notify Borrower thereof (such notice, an “Event of Default Notice”) with a copy to all other Lenders and, following the delivery of such Event of Default
Notice, any Lender may (i) declare such Lender’s Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any fees or other amounts due under the Margin Loan Documentation to such Lender, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such
amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and (ii) declare such Lender’s Commitments to be terminated, whereupon the same
shall forthwith terminate; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event in Section 7.01(f), (x) the Total Accrued Loan Amount shall automatically become

including all remedies provided under the UCC. If Administrative Agent shall fail to send an Event of Default Notice when required by any Lender as set forth above, any Lender may deliver such Event of Default Notice to Borrower with a copy to all
other Lenders.
Section 7.02 Lenders’ Rights With Respect to Collateral.
(a) For the avoidance of doubt, following any Lender becoming an Accelerating Lender, such Lender may choose to
exercise any remedies provided for herein or in any other Margin Loan Documentation, or refrain from exercising such remedies, in its sole discretion with respect to the Collateral subject to its control under a Control Agreement (including by
virtue of an agency relationship with any Applicable Lender). No Lender shall have any fiduciary or other duties to the other Lenders in connection with the exercise of remedies against the Collateral securing the Obligations owing to such Lender
or otherwise and no Lender shall interfere with such exercise of remedies or claim (or support any claim by any third‑party) that a sale or other
65
disposition of any Lender’s Collateral by or on behalf of such Lender was not commercially reasonable.
(b) In connection with any permitted assignment by a Lender, Borrower (and, in the case of clause (v) below,
General Partner) agrees to, as promptly as practicable, (i) establish a separate Collateral Account with the Custodian, (ii) enter into a Control Agreement (in a form substantially identical to the other relevant Control Agreements) in favor of the
assignee with respect to such Collateral Accounts, (iii) enter into a Security Agreements (in a form substantially identical to the other relevant Security Agreements) granting a Lien in favor of the assignee over such assignee’s Applicable
Percentage of the Collateral of each type, (iv) if reasonably requested by the Custodian, enter into a customer account agreement or other agreement with such intermediary and (v) make appropriate amendments to this Agreement and the other Margin
Loan Documentation to reflect any administrative or technical changes as are reasonably requested by the assigning Lender, the assignee or Administrative Agent, which do not adversely affect Borrower’s or General Partner’s rights or obligations
hereunder. In connection with any assignment by a Lender of all of its Advances hereunder, Borrower and General Partner agree that such Lender’s rights and obligations under the other Margin Loan Documentation may be assigned to the assignee.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Margin Loan Documentation, Borrower, Administrative
Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) during the continuance of an Event of Default and such Lender becoming an Accelerating Lender, such Lender shall have the right individually to require the Custodian (or the Applicable Lender acting as
agent of such Lender for purposes of perfection, if applicable) to realize upon any of the Collateral subject to such Lender’s control and to apply the proceeds thereof to the repayment of such Lender’s Advances outstanding and any other
Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) owing to such Lender and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by such Lender on its Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other
disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), such Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Margin Loan Documentation, when all Obligations
owing to any Lender have been paid in full, upon request of Borrower, such Lender shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any other Lender) take such actions as shall be reasonably required to release its security interest in all
Collateral under such Lender’s control.
(e) Each Lender agrees that it will not challenge or question or support any other Person in challenging or
questioning in any proceeding the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien of any other Applicable Lender under any Collateral Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other
provisions of this Agreement.
(f) Each Lender agrees with, and solely for the benefit of, each other Lender that it will not take any
Bankruptcy Action with respect to Borrower or General Partner.

ARTICLE 8
Agents
Agents
Section 8.01 Authorization and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints UBS AG Stamford Branch to act on its behalf as
Administrative Agent and Mizuho Securities USA LLC and UBS AG London Branch as Joint Calculation Agents under the Margin Loan Documentation and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and Borrower and General
Partner shall not have rights as third‑party beneficiaries or otherwise of any of such provisions.
Section 8.02 Agent Individually.
(a) Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender
as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or other
Affiliates thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
(b) Each Lender understands that each Person serving as an Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its
Affiliates (collectively, an “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate
and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 8.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of
Borrower or its Affiliates. Furthermore, an Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including Borrower and its
Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in Borrower or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other
financial products of Borrower and its Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, an Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning Borrower and its Affiliates (including information
concerning the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Margin Loan Documentation) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of an Agent’s Group. No Agent nor any member of
such Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including
any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities,
except that an Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders.
67
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent’s Group or their
respective customers (including Borrower and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders
hereunder). Each Lender agrees that no member of an Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its Activities as a result of the Person serving as an Agent being a member of such Agent’s Group, and that each member of an Agent’s Group may
undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) the Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) the receipt by an Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning Borrower or its Affiliates
(including information concerning the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including
any duty of trust or confidence) owing by an Agent or any member of such Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict an Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including Borrower or its Affiliates)
or for its own account.
Section 8.03 Duties of the Agents; Exculpatory Provisions.
(a) An Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation are solely ministerial and
administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, and, without limitation of the foregoing, an Agent shall not be required to take any action or refrain from acting if, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, taking such action or so refraining from acting,
as the case may be, may expose such Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or would, as determined by such Agent in good faith, be contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law.
(b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, including for the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent sending a Collateral Call Notice
or an Event of Default Notice at the direction of any Lender, if, in the case of an Event of Default Notice, such Agent believes in good faith that the related Event of Default is of a type that would entitle such Lender to issue such direction) or
(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Facility Adjustment Event, Potential Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default or the
event or events that give or may give rise to any Facility Adjustment Event, Potential Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default unless and until Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent
describing such Facility Adjustment Event, Potential Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default and such event or events.
(c) No Agent nor any member of an Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or
inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder
68
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require an Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your
customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation
to such checks made by an Agent or any of its Related Parties.
Section 8.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer or
Authorized Representative of an Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel
for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. An Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or
under any other Margin Loan Documentation by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent, and such Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective
Related Parties, provided, in each case, that no such delegation to a sub‑agent or a Related Party shall release an Agent from any of its obligations hereunder. Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of an Agent and each such sub agent shall be
entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 8 and Margin Loan Documentation (as though such sub‑agents were an “Agent” hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Section 8.06 Resignation of Agent. An Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and not have been cured or waived)), to appoint a successor,
69
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30‑day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders
appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after
the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and of the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation which effective date shall be no earlier
than three Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation
shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender and
(ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this
paragraph. The successor shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default that has not been cured or waived (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as an Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and/or under the other Margin Loan Documentation but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
paragraph). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other
Margin Loan Documentation, the provisions of this Article 8 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any Agent ceases to be a Lender hereunder, such Agent shall be deemed to have provided its notice of resignation, which notice shall be
automatically effective as of the date such Agent ceased to be a Lender hereunder.
Section 8.07 Non‑Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.
(a) Each Lender confirms to the Agents, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it
(i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of
evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making its portion of the Facility and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is
financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making its portion of the Facility is suitable and appropriate for it.
70
(b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and
investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties,
made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit
analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of Borrower;
(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this
Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;
(iii) determining compliance or non‑compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of the Advances and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; or
(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any other information delivered by
the Agents, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Margin Loan Documentation, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or
document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.
Section 8.08 Other Acceptable Collateral. Administrative Agent shall not consent to any property or securities being included in
Other Acceptable Collateral, and Joint Calculation Agents shall not determine the Other Acceptable Collateral Haircut, without the written consent of each other Lender party hereto (in its sole discretion).
Section 8.09 Removal Of Agents.
(a) At any time, if (i) following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall fail to send
an Event of Default Notice when required at the request of the Required Lenders, or, in the case of an Event of Default of the type that gives any Lender the right to require that Administrative Agent send an Event of Default Notice under
Section 7.01, any Lender, by 8:00 p.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day that such request is sent to Administrative Agent (or by 9:00 a.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day following such request, if such request is made after 5:00 p.m. on a Scheduled
Trading Day or on a day that is not a Scheduled Trading Day), (ii) following the occurrence of a Mandatory Prepayment Event, Administrative Agent shall fail to deliver a Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice in connection therewith by 8:00 p.m. on the
Scheduled Trading Day that any Lender requests Administrative Agent to send such notice (or by 9:00 a.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day following such request, if such request is made after 5:00 p.m. on a Scheduled Trading Day or on a day that is not
a Scheduled Trading Day) or (iii) following the occurrence of a Collateral Shortfall on any Scheduled Trading Day, Administrative Agent shall fail to send a Collateral Call Notice by 8:00 p.m. on such Scheduled
71
Trading Day, in each case of clause (i) through (iii) above, the Required Lenders shall have the right to remove Administrative Agent and appoint a successor thereto, which shall be
one of the Lenders party hereto on the Closing Date or an Affiliate thereof (provided that, for purposes of this Section 8.09, any determination that (x) is expressed herein to be made by Joint Calculation Agents or Administrative Agent and (y) is
relevant to the determination of whether an Event of Default, Mandatory Prepayment Event or Collateral Shortfall has occurred may be made by the Required Lenders, notwithstanding any prior determination by Joint Calculation Agents or Administrative
Agent to the contrary with respect to such matter, provided further that any such determination must be made by the Required Lenders in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner).
(b) At any time, if (i) (A) the Required Lenders shall have delivered a written request, pursuant to
Section 8.03(a), for any Agent to take any action hereunder, and (B) such Agent shall have failed to take such action (other than in accordance with the proviso set forth in Section 8.03(a)) by 8:00 p.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day that such
request is sent to such Agent (or by 9:00 a.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day following such request, if such request is made after 5:00 p.m. on a Scheduled Trading Day or on a day that is not a Scheduled Trading Day), (ii) (A) the Required Lenders
shall have delivered a written request, pursuant to Section 8.03(a), for any Agent to refrain from taking any action hereunder and (B) such Agent shall have nonetheless taken such action (other than in accordance with the proviso set forth in
Section 8.03(a)), (iii) the Required Lenders have requested that Joint Calculation Agents submit any proposed calculation, adjustment or determination to Borrower in accordance with Section 9.01 or Section 9.18(b) (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, a request by the Required Lenders to Joint Calculation Agents to submit proposed adjustments in respect of a Facility Adjustment Event or Potential Facility Adjustment Event that the Required Lenders determine to have occurred, provided that
any such determination must be made by the Required Lenders in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) and Joint Calculation Agents shall fail to submit such calculation, adjustment or determination by 8:00 p.m. on the Scheduled Trading
Day that such request is sent to Joint Calculation Agents (or by 9:00 a.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day following such request, if such request is made after 5:00 p.m. on a Scheduled Trading Day or on a day that is not a Scheduled Trading Day) or
(iv) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to any Agent or its ultimate parent, in each case of clause (i) through (iv) above, the Required Lenders shall have the right to remove such Agent and appoint a successor thereto, which shall be one
of the Lenders party hereto on the Closing Date or an Affiliate thereof.
(c) At any time, if the Required Lenders replace any Agent pursuant to this Section 8.09 and the other Agent is
the same entity as, or an Affiliate of, the removed Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to also remove such other such Agent and appoint a successor thereto, which shall be one of the Lenders party hereto on the Closing Date or an
Affiliate thereof.
(d) Any removal of an Agent and appointment of a successor thereto pursuant to this Section 8.09 shall be
effective upon notice by such proposed successor Agent to the removed
72
Agent and Borrower on behalf of the Required Lenders, whereupon (i) the current Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the Margin
Loan Documentation, but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender and (ii) the successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as the applicable Agent.
Section 8.10 Erroneous Payments.
(a) If Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any
such Lender or other recipient, but in any event excluding each Borrower and their Affiliates, a “Payment Recipient”) that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion
(whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or
mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or
otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain
the property of Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf,
shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day
funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to
Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of
Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it
receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount
than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or
accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in
part) in each case:
(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be
presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or
repayment; and
73
(ii) such Payment Recipient shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives
funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within ten Business Days of the date of such payment) notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail)
and that it is so notifying Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.10(b).
(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under
the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any
reason, after demand therefor by Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous
Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time,
(i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment
Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the
“Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby
(together with Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an assignment and assumption by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which
Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any notes evidencing such Advances to Borrower or Administrative Agent, (ii) Administrative Agent as
the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this
Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender
shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such loan (or portion thereof), and Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its
behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto
agrees that, except to the extent that Administrative Agent has sold an Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous

Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights
and interests of the applicable Lender under the Margin Loan Documentation with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not be deemed to pay, prepay, repay, discharge or
otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any Fund Entity, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by
Administrative Agent from any Borrower or any Fund Entity for the purpose of satisfying such Obligations.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an
Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set‑off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment
received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.10 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any
Margin Loan Documentation.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates shall have any
obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 8.10, and Administrative Agent expressly agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that Section 9.04 shall not apply to any Erroneous Payment. In no event shall the
making of any Erroneous Payment, or any fees, costs and expenses of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incurred in connection with any recovery or attempted recovery thereof, increase the Obligations of any Borrower hereunder.

Lender without such Lender’s consent and (iii) Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement pursuant to the definition of “Term SOFR” without the consent of any Lender except to the extent provided in such definition.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees with each other Lender and with Borrower that no amendment, termination or supplement shall be made to any Security Agreements, Issuer Agreement, or
Control Agreement, and no new Margin Loan Documentation shall be entered into with any Lender (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 2.12), unless a substantially identical amendment, termination or supplement is made to each other Security
Agreements, Issuer Agreements, or Control Agreements, or substantially identical Margin Loan Documentation is entered into with each other Lender, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event or Potential Facility Adjustment Event, Joint Calculation Agents shall (a) adjust one or more of
the terms or provisions of the Facility as the Joint Calculation Agents determine necessary to account for the effect of the Facility Adjustment Event or Potential Facility Adjustment Event on the Facility (unless the Joint Calculation Agents
determine that no such adjustment is necessary), which adjustments may include, (x) requiring the Borrower to prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances (together with any interest accrued thereto), in whole or in part, (y) reducing
Lender’s commitments and reduce the Maximum Facility Amount (and, if the outstanding principal of any Loans is in excess of Maximum Facility Amount, Borrower shall prepay the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Loan equal to such
excess, and pay any related amounts, pursuant to Section 2.06(a) as if Borrower has, on the date the Joint Calculation Agents notify Borrower of its adjustment hereunder, effectively
delivered a notice to Lender to prepay such amount) and/or (z) adding additional Mandatory Prepayment Events, and (b) determine the effective time of the adjustment (and, except in the case of a Facility Adjustment Event of the type described in
clause (i)(b) or (iii)(a) of the definition thereof or a related Potential Facility Adjustment Event, may take into account, among other factors, volatility,
77
correlation, liquidity, free float and the price of the Shares or any other Collateral, the credit profile of the Issuer, Transfer Restrictions and Restrictive Conditions applicable to the Shares or any other
Collateral, in each case, relative to the Shares, the Issuer or, if applicable, any other Collateral prior to giving effect to the relevant event). To the extent reasonably practicable, Joint Calculation Agents shall consult in good faith with
Borrower regarding any such adjustments; provided that consultations with the Borrower hereunder shall be non‑binding and shall not entail any minimum consultation period prior to the determination or
effectiveness of any adjustment. Subject to Section 9.18(a), any such adjustments pursuant to this paragraph shall be binding on all parties to the Margin Loan Documentation and all such parties shall enter into such documentation required or
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to reflect such adjustments. If the Joint Calculation Agents determine that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, such Facility Adjustment Event shall be deemed to
give rise to a Mandatory Prepayment Event pursuant to the definition herein and the provisions of Section 2.06(b) shall apply.

Agent by the Required Lenders, if not
78
given during normal business hours for the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient or (y) in the case of a
Collateral Call Notice or a Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice, if not given by the Collateral Call Notice Deadline or the Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice Deadline, as the case may be, on any Scheduled Trading Day, such notice or communication shall
be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Scheduled Trading Day). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications shall be effective as provided in Subsection (b).
(b) Electronic Communications. (i) Notices and other communications sent to an e‑mail address shall be
deemed received when sent absent receipt of a failure to deliver notice within 30 minutes of such notice or communication being sent (it being understood that an “out of office” reply does not constitute a failure to deliver notice for this
purpose), provided that (x) other than in the case of a Collateral Call Notice, a Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice or any notice under Section 8.09 relating to the removal of any Agent by the Required
Lenders, if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, or
(y) in the case of a Collateral Call Notice or a Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice, if such notice or other communication is not sent by the Collateral Call Notice Deadline or the Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice Deadline, as the case may be, on

(c) Change of Address, Etc. Each of Borrower, General Partner and Administrative Agent may change its
address, facsimile, telephone number or e‑mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile, telephone number or e‑mail for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify Borrower thereof. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that Administrative Agent has on record (i) an
effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.
(d) Reliance by Lenders. Each Agent and Lender shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower or General Partner. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with any Agent or any Lender may be recorded by such Agent or such Lender, and each of the parties hereto hereby
consents to such recording.
Section 9.03 No Waiver; Remedies.
(a) No failure or delay of any Lender or any Agent in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other
Margin Loan Documentation shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
79
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Agents and Lenders hereunder and under any other Margin Loan Documentation are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Margin Loan Documentation or consent to any departure by Borrower or General Partner therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be permitted by Section 9.01, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower or General Partner in any case shall entitle Borrower or
General Partner to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Agents and Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of an Advance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.
(b) The Advances are made with full recourse to Borrower and constitute direct, general, unconditional and
unsubordinated Indebtedness of Borrower.
(c) Borrower, General Partner and Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documentation collectively are
intended to constitute a “securities contract” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that each delivery, transfer, payment and grant of a security interest made or required to be made hereunder or contemplated hereby
or made, required to be made or contemplated in connection herewith is a “transfer” and a “margin payment” or a “settlement payment” within the meaning of Section 362(b)(6) and/or (27) and Sections 546(e) and/or (j) of the Bankruptcy Code. In
addition, all obligations under or in connection with the Margin Loan Documentation represent obligations in respect of “termination values,” “payment amounts” or “other transfer obligations” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 561 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documentation collectively constitutes a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 9.04 Costs And Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver.
(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay promptly (i) all actual, reasonable and documented costs
and reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by Lenders and each Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for Lenders and Agents in connection with the Facility, including syndication thereof, the preparation
and administration of the Margin Loan Documentation or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Margin Loan Documentation (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all
reasonable costs and reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by Lenders and each Agent, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Lenders and each Agent, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its
rights in connection with the Margin Loan Documentation, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Advances made hereunder, including all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Advances.
(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lenders, each Agent (and any sub‑agent thereof)
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
80
being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for the Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third‑party or by Borrower or any
Related Party of Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, (i) this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Documentation or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the exercise of remedies hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any hedging activities by
any Indemnitee, as to which clause (d) below shall apply), any other Margin Loan Documentation or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual
or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third‑party or by Borrower or any other Related Party of Borrower, and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (y) arise out of
any dispute among Indemnitees (other than a dispute involving claims against Administrative Agent or any Joint Calculation Agent, in each case in their respective capacities as such) that did not involve actions or omissions of Borrower or its
Affiliates. This Section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of
Borrower and General Partner shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, any other Margin Loan Documentation or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof. No
Indemnitee referred to in Subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Margin Loan Documentation or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such charges result from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of
such Indemnitee.
(d) Post‑Default Hedging Costs. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay, on demand,
such Lender’s (or its Affiliate’s) costs (including the cost of put options and such Lender’s reasonable estimate of the cost of borrowing Shares in connection with Share Hedging Transactions), losses (including market losses resulting from Share
Hedging Transactions), charges, fees, expenses, Taxes or duties of any kind directly relating to its (x) Advances or (y) acquisition, establishment, re‑establishment, substitution, maintenance, unwinding or disposition of, or realization or
recovery of the proceeds of, or any part thereof, any transaction(s) entered into by such Lender or its Affiliate to hedge the market risk of the Collateral. Borrower’s obligation under this Subsection (d) shall survive termination of the Facility
and
81
payment in full of all other Obligations. “Share Hedging Transactions” means “short sales” of Shares and option contracts,
futures contracts, forward contracts, swap agreements or other derivative transactions relating to Shares, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such transaction for which the underlier is a broad‑based index or basket of securities.
(e) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any
amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub‑agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub‑agent) or such Related
Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that
the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub‑agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of
the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub‑agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of Lenders under this clause (e) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13.
(f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly and in any event not later than
ten Business Days after demand therefor (subject to acceleration under Section 7.01).
(g) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Facility and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
Section 9.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to any of Administrative
Agent or Lenders (or Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders), or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.
Section 9.06 Governing Law; Submission To Jurisdiction.
(a) Governing Law. The Margin Loan Documentation shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
laws of the State of New York.
(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.
82
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in
any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation shall affect any right that Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan
Documentation against Borrower, General Partner or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation in any court
referred to in Subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.02(a). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
(e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER MARGIN LOAN DOCUMENTATION OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER MARGIN LOAN DOCUMENTATION BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 9.06(e).
Section 9.07 Successors and Assigns.
As set forth in the Additional Terms Letter.
Section 9.08 Severability. Any provision of any Margin Loan Documentation held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.09 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
83
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and
when each of the parties hereto shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation amendments or other
modifications, a Borrowing Notice, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent, or the keeping of
records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper‑based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any
applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures
approved by it.
Section 9.10 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of the
Margin Loan Documentation and the making of any Advances, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Advance or any other Obligation under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or
unsatisfied. The provisions of Sections 2.07, 2.08, 9.04, 9.11 and 9.13 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Advances, the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent, the assignment of rights by any Lender or the termination of this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation any provision hereof or thereof.
Section 9.11 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 5.06, each Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be (x) used by any Lender party hereto, its affiliates, agents, Participants and/or hedging counterparties in connection with, or upon, the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any
other Margin Loan Documentation or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder and/or (y) disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over such Lender (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law and except in connection with any request as part of a regulatory
examination), (c) to the extent required by
84
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure to the extent permitted by law and except in
connection with a regulatory examination of an audit or examination conducted by bank accountants), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any other Margin Loan Documentation, (f)
subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or hedging transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations or the Collateral Shares, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such Lender, (ii) becomes available to such Lender on a non‑confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or its Affiliates or (iii) is independently developed by
such Lender without use of the Information. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business hereunder or pursuant hereto, other
than any such information that is available to Lenders on a non‑confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the
time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of
care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower agrees that the obligations of Lenders and Agents in this Section 9.11 shall not be
interpreted to restrict any such Lender or Agent or their Affiliates from transacting in Shares or related securities (it being understood that any transactions in Collateral Shares are subject to the terms of the Margin Loan Documentation).
Section 9.12 No Advisory Or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby and by
the other Margin Loan Documentation (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Margin Loan Documentation), each of Borrower and General Partner acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging
and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Lenders are arm’s‑length commercial transactions between Borrower, General Partner and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) each of
Borrower and General Partner has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each of Borrower and General Partner is capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms,
risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Margin Loan Documentation; (b)(i) Lenders are and have been acting solely as principals and, except as expressly agreed in writing herein or otherwise by the relevant
parties, have not been, are not, and will not be acting as advisors, agents or fiduciaries for Borrower, General Partner or any of their Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) Lenders have no obligation to Borrower, General Partner or any of their
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Margin Loan Documentation; and (c) Lenders and their Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that
involve interests that differ from those of Borrower, General Partner and their Affiliates, and Lenders have no obligations to disclose any of such interests to Borrower, General Partner or any of their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, each of Borrower and General Partner hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Lenders or their
85
Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 9.13 Right Of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lenders, Agents and each of their
respective Affiliates (each, a “Set‑off Party”) are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Set‑off Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations and liabilities of Borrower, irrespective of
whether or not the relevant Set‑off Party shall have made any demand under the Margin Loan Documentation and although such obligations may be unmatured. The parties agree that each of the Collateral Accounts is a general and not special account. The
rights of each Set‑off Party under this Section 9.13 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Set‑off Party may have.
Section 9.14 Judgment Currency. If a judgment, order or award is rendered by any court or tribunal for the payment of any amounts
owing to Lenders under this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation or for the payment of damages in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of such amount or damages, such judgment, order or award being
expressed in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars, Borrower agrees (a) that its obligations in respect of any such amounts owing shall be discharged only to the extent that on the Business
Day following Lenders’ receipt of any sum adjudged in the Judgment Currency, Lenders may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency, and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless Lenders against any deficiency in terms of Dollars in the amounts actually
received by Lenders following any such purchase (after deduction of any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Dollars). The indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall (notwithstanding
any judgment referred to in the preceding sentence) constitute an obligation of Borrower separate and independent from its other obligations hereunder, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.15 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107‑56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), as amended (the “Act”), and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower and General Partner that, pursuant to the
requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and General Partner, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and General Partner and other information that will allow such
Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to identify Borrower and General Partner in accordance with the Act. Each of Borrower and General Partner agrees to promptly provide any Lender with all of the information with respect to Borrower or General
Partner, as the case may be, requested by such Lender (x) to the extent such Lender deems such information reasonably necessary to identify Borrower or General Partner in accordance with the Act or (y) in connection with such Lender’s standard “on
boarding” process (including, without limitation, pursuant to “know your customer” or anti money laundering requirements).
Section 9.16 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate
applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Advance under applicable law (collectively the
86
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by
a Lender holding such Advance in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful,
the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Advance but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.16 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other
Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 9.17 Disclosure. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lenders and/or their Affiliates from time to time may hold
investments in, make loans to or have other relationships with Issuer or its Affiliates.
Section 9.18 Joint Calculation Agents Determinations; Lender Consultation.
(a) All calculations and determinations made by the Joint Calculation Agents shall be made in good faith and in a
commercially reasonable manner.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders may consult with one another in considering any action,
determination, notice or instruction that may be given by any Lender or Lenders or Agent hereunder.
Section 9.19 U.S. QFC Contractual Stay Requirements.
(a) Recognition of U.S. Regimes. In the event one or more of the Covered Parties
becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement, any transaction under this Agreement or any related Credit Enhancement (each, a “Relevant
Agreement”) and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, such Relevant Agreement (“Relevant Interests”) from one or more of the Covered Parties will be
effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Relevant Agreement and Relevant Interests were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event
one or more of the Covered Parties or any Covered Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights with respect to any Relevant Agreement against the Covered Party or Relevant Covered Party are
permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Relevant Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. The
requirements of this paragraph (a) apply notwithstanding paragraph (b) below.
(b) Limitation on Exercise of Certain Default Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
Relevant Agreement or any other agreement, the parties expressly agree that the Borrower shall not be permitted to exercise any Default Right against the Relevant Covered Parties with respect to any Relevant Agreement that is related, directly or
indirectly, to a Covered Affiliate becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, other than a Default Right that arises as a result of the Relevant Covered Parties becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding or the Relevant
87
Covered Parties not satisfying a payment or delivery obligation pursuant to such Relevant Agreement or another contract between the Relevant Covered Parties and the Borrower that
gives rise to a Default Right under such Relevant Agreement. After a Covered Affiliate has become subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, if the Borrower seeks to exercise any Default Right with respect to any Relevant Agreement with the Relevant
Covered Parties, the Borrower shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted thereunder.
(c) Effective Date. The provisions of this Clause 9.19 will come into effect on the later of the date of
this Agreement and the Applicable Compliance Date.
(d) Definitions. For the purposes of this Clause 9.19, the following definitions apply:
“Applicable Compliance Date” means: (a) July 1, 2019, if that Borrower is a “financial counterparty” other than a “small financial

collateral arrangement, trust or similar arrangement, letter of credit, transfer of margin, reimbursement obligation or any similar arrangement.

(b) the effects of any Bail‑In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other
instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it
