Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or enforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. SECTION 12. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

ARTICLE II. THE CREDIT 2.1. Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ severally agree to make Advances through the Administrative Agent to Borrower from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, and to support the issuance of Facility Letters of Credit under Article 2A of this Agreement, provided that the making of any such Advance or the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit will not: (i) cause the then-current Outstanding Facility Amount to exceed the then-current Aggregate Commitment; or (ii) cause the then outstanding Facility Letters of Credit Obligations to exceed the Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit.; or (iii) cause the Unsecured Leverage Ratio to exceed the maximum percentage then permitted under Section 6.17(f). The Advances may be ratable Floating Rate Advances or ratable SOFR Rate Advances. This facility (“Facility”) is a revolving credit facility. Each Lender shall fund its applicable Percentage of each Advance and no Lender will be required to fund any amounts which, when aggregated with such Lender’s Percentage of all other Advances then outstanding and of all Facility Letter of
- 40 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 Credit Obligations, would exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s then-current Commitment. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may request Advances hereunder from time to time, repay such Advances and reborrow Advances at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. On the Third Amendment Effective Date, the parties hereto agree that the amount of each Lender’s Commitment is as set forth opposite its signature page to the Third Amendment. On the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Commitment of each of the Lenders, the outstanding amount of all outstanding Loans and the participation interests of the Lenders in any outstanding Facility Letters of Credit shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. To effect such allocations, (1) each Lender whose Percentage on the Third Amendment Effective Date exceeds the Percentage applicable to its Commitment under this Agreement immediately prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date and (2) any Lender providing a new Commitment hereunder on the Third Amendment Effective Date, shall make an Advance in such amount as is necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of Loans held by such Lender as of the Third Amendment Effective Date shall equal such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans as of the Third Amendment Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall make such amounts of the proceeds of such Loans available to each Lender whose Percentage is less than the amount of such Lender’s Percentage applicable to its Commitment under this Agreement immediately prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date (including, without limitation, any such Lender who ceases to have a Commitment on the Third Amendment Effective Date) as is necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of Advances held by such Lender as of the Third Amendment Effective Date shall equal such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances as of the Third Amendment Effective Date. Except for Notes to be provided to certain of the Lenders, no other documents, instruments or assignment fees shall be, or shall be required to be, executed or paid in connection with such allocations (all of which are hereby waived, as necessary). Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to waive any amounts that would otherwise be required to be compensated by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4 in connection with the reallocation specified in this paragraph. 2.2.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. Mandatory partial principal payments shall be due from time to time if, (i) due to any reduction in the Unencumbered Pool Value or in the Adjusted Unencumbered NOI, whether by an Unencumbered Property failing to continue to satisfy the requirement for qualification as an Eligible Unencumbered Property or by a reduction in the Unencumbered Pool Value or the Adjusted Unencumbered NOI attributable to any Unencumbered Property or due to an increase in the Unsecured Indebtedness of the Consolidated Group and/or the Unsecured Interest Expense, the Outstanding Facility Amount shall be in excess of the maximum amount permitted under clauses (e) or (f) of Section 6.17 or (ii) without limiting the effect of any other provision of this Agreement requiring such a principal payment, any of the categories of the Obligations described in clauses (i) - (iii) of Section 2.1 shall be in excess of the maximum amount set forth in the applicable clause.

Final Principal Payment. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations with respect to the Commitments and the Advances not required to be repaid earlier pursuant to the terms hereof shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date. 2.5. Facility Fee. At all times from and after the Agreement Effective Date through the Facility Termination Date a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) shall accrue and be payable by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and shall be computed on a daily basis by multiplying (i) the Facility Fee Percentage applicable to such day (as set forth on the Leverage Based Pricing Schedule or the Ratings Based Pricing Schedule, as applicable on such day), expressed as a per diem rate, times the Aggregate Commitment in effect on such day. The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar
- 42 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 quarter (for the prior calendar quarter) and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety. Following its receipt of any such Facility Fee, Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the daily amount of such Facility Fee, based on such Lender’s Commitment on such day. The Facility Fee shall be computed on a 360 day year, and actual days elapsed. 2.6. Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, as applicable, pursuant to the Borrower’s separate letter agreements with the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (collectively, the “Fee Letter”). 2.7.

Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into SOFR Rate Advances. Each SOFR Rate Advance shall continue as a SOFR Rate Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such SOFR Rate Advance shall be automatically converted as a SOFR Rate Advance, but with an Interest Period of one month unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent an irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such SOFR Rate Advance either continue as a SOFR Rate Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an Advance of another Type.

During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that the Default Rate shall apply, provided, however, that the Default Rate shall become applicable automatically if a Default occurs under Section 7.1 or 7.2, unless waived by the Required Lenders. 2.12. Method of Payment . All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent located in the continental United States specified in writing at least three (3) Business Days in advance by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (Cleveland time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. As provided elsewhere herein, all ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ interests in the Advances and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative
- 45 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 Agent but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid. None of the funds or assets of the Borrower that are used to pay any amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Designated Persons or countries which are the subject of sanctions under any Sanctions Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall not be applied to Obligations that are Excluded Swap Obligations. 2.13. Notes; Telephonic Notices . Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on written notices made by any Authorized Officer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent such written notice. The Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrower, from time to time, but not more often than monthly, provide notice of the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment, the Type of Advance, and the applicable interest rate, if for a SOFR Rate Advance. Upon a ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s furnishing to Borrower an affidavit and indemnity in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced. 2.14. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis . Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety. Interest, Facility Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except for interest calculated utilizing the Alternate Base Rate, which shall be based on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (Cleveland time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. 2.15. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments .
- 46 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each SOFR Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate. 2.16. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) Temporary Inability to Determine Rates. If (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, in each case of (A) and (B), on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue the applicable SOFR Loans or to convert Floating Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice and (ii) if such determination affects the calculation of the Alternate Base Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any applicable SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Floating Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Floating Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.4. If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Floating Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination. (b) Permanent Inability to Determine Rate; Benchmark Replacement. (i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this
- 47 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is effective in accordance with this clause (i), all Loans shall be converted into Floating Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section (a) above. (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.16(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16(b). (iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then- current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the
- 48 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non- representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or incompliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for the applicable SOFR Rate Advance of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Floating Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon Adjusted Term SOFR (or then- current Benchmark) will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate. . 2.17. Lending Installations . Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time; provided that such change does not increase the amounts payable by the Borrower under Article III. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice at least three (3) Business Days in advance to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. 2.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent . Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal,
- 49 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower. 2.19. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances . (a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) shall be owed amounts pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, (b) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, (c) cannot maintain its SOFR Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 2.16 or (d) is a Defaulting Lender with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 3.4 if any SOFR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender or an Approved Bank, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and no such replacement bank or financial institution shall be an Ineligible Institution), (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. (b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver that, pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2, requires the consent of such Lender and with respect to which the Required Lenders have
- 50 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 granted their consent, then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and, if not already a Lender or an Approved Bank, the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit B and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non- Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non- Consenting Lender under Sections 3.2 and 3.5. 2.20. Usury . This Agreement and each Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding. 2.21. Extension of Facility Termination Date . The Borrower shall have the option, after the Third Amendment Effective Date, to extend the Facility Termination Date for one (1) period of six (6) months, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (i) The Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice (the “Extension Notice”) of the Borrower’s intent to exercise such extension option not more than one hundred eighty (180) and not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date;
- 51 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 (ii) As of the date of the Borrower’s delivery of notice of its intent to exercise such extension option, and as of the effective date of such extension, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Borrower shall so certify in writing; and (iii) On or before the then current Facility Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an extension fee (the “Extension Fee”) for the extension so exercised in an amount equal to sixty-two and one-half one thousandths of one percent (0.0625%) of the then-current Commitment of each Lender. Any such extension shall become effective upon receipt of the Extension Notice and the payment of the Extension Fee. 2.22. Termination or Increase in Commitments . (a) Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice, to terminate or cancel, in whole or in part, the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment in excess of the Outstanding Facility Amount, provided that each partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Any partial termination of the Aggregate Commitment shall be applied to reduce each Lender’s Commitment on a pro rata basis. Once terminated or reduced, the Aggregate Commitment may not be reinstated or increased thereafter. (b) Provided Borrower has not exercised any right to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitment and provided no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall also have the right from time to time to increase the Aggregate Commitment to a maximum of $1,000,000,000 (reduced to the extent Borrower has terminated or reduced the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to Section 2.22(a)) by either adding new Approved Banks as Lenders to provide new Commitments or obtaining the agreement of one or more existing Lenders to increase their Commitments. Any such increase by existing Lenders shall be at the sole discretion of such Lenders and no Lender shall have any obligation to increase any of its Commitments. The Administrative Agent’s approval of any such new Lenders shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided, that no new Lender shall be an Ineligible Institution. On the effective date of any such increase, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers any amounts due to them under the applicable Fee Letter (if any) on account of such increase and shall pay to each new lender or then-existing Lender providing such additional Commitment the up-front fee agreed to by the Borrower in its commitment letter with such party. Such increases shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new Lender or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. In addition, on or before the effective date of any
- 52 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 such increase, the Subsidiary Guarantors (if any) shall execute a consent to such increase ratifying and continuing their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty. Upon each such increase in the aggregate Commitments, within five (5) Business Days (in the case of any Floating Rate Advance then outstanding) or at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (in the case of any SOFR Rate Advance then outstanding), as applicable, each Lender’s Percentage shall be recalculated to reflect such increase in the Commitments and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders such that the outstanding principal amount of Loans of each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Percentage (as recalculated). The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding Advances to achieve such result. In no event shall the aggregate Commitments exceed $1,000,000,000 without the approval of all of the Lenders. 2.23. Applications of Moneys Received . All moneys collected or received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Facility directly or indirectly, including any moneys collected with respect to certain Swap Contracts to the extent provided in Subsection 2.23(v) below, shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to the payment of all reasonable costs incurred in the collection of such moneys; (ii) to the reimbursement of any amounts due to the Lenders in accordance with Article III; (iii) to the payment of any issuance fee due to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2A.8(b), to the payment of any Facility Fees then due, and to the payment of any fees to the Administrative Agent then due; (iv) to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due to the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents); (v) (a) in case the entire unpaid principal of the Loans shall not have become due and payable, (i) the whole amount received as interest and Facility Letter of Credit Fees then due to the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) as their respective Percentages appear, (ii) then (x) unless a Default has occurred and is then continuing, first to Floating Rate Advances in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Percentages, and second to SOFR Rate Advances in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Percentages or (y) if a Default has occurred and is then continuing, on a pro rata basis to the Lenders as their respective Percentages appear, and (iii) provided that at or prior to the execution of any Swap Contract with one or more Lenders or their respective Affiliates, the
- 53 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 Lenders or Lenders’ Affiliates party thereto and the Borrower shall have delivered written notice to Administrative Agent that such Swap Contract has been entered into and that collection of the obligations thereunder are to be governed by this Section 2.23, the whole amount, if any, received as principal to each Lender and Affiliate of a Lender under any such Swap Contract on a pro rata basis to pay towards any such obligations then due, or (b) in case the entire unpaid principal of the Loans shall have become due and payable, as a result of a Default or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then due and payable on the Loans for principal, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate or the interest rate, as applicable, first to the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) as their respective Percentages appear until all Loans held by such Lenders and all interest thereon has been paid in full, second to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account until the full amount of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations is on deposit therein and last, to each Lender and Affiliate of a Lender under any of the Swap Contracts referenced in clause (a)(iii) of this Subsection 2.23(v) on a pro rata basis until the full amount of obligations under such Swap Contracts then due are repaid; (vi) To the payment of any other fees, reimbursement or indemnification obligations of Borrower then due to the Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders) under any Loan Documents, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts due to such Lenders; and (vii) to the payment of any sums due to the Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages of such aggregate unpaid sums (provided that Administrative Agent shall have the right to set-off against such sums any amounts due from such Defaulting Lender). ARTICLE IIA LETTER OF CREDIT SUBFACILITY 2A.1 Obligation to Issue . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, the Issuing Bank hereby agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower, one or more Facility Letters of Credit in accordance with this Article IIA, from time to time during the period commencing on the Agreement Effective Date and ending on a date thirty (30) days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date. 2A.2 Types and Amounts . The Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to:
- 54 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 (i) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon such Issuing Bank; (ii) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, (1) the then applicable Outstanding Facility Amount would exceed the then-current Aggregate Commitment or (2) the then-applicable Outstanding Facility Amount would exceed the then-current Aggregate Commitment or (3) the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Facility Letter of Credit Sublimit; or (iii) issue any Facility Letter of Credit having an expiration date, or containing automatic extension provisions to extend such date, to a date beyond the then-current Facility Termination Date, provided, further, that a Facility Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the Facility Termination Date, so long as the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders no later than the then Facility Termination Date either (1) cash collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, (2) a backup Letter of Credit having terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and issued by a domestic financial institution having a rating assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or S&P to its senior unsecured debt of AA/Aa2 or better or (3) other collateral satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon the expiration, cancellation or termination of a Facility Letter of Credit for which cash, a backup Letter of Credit or other collateral has been provided pursuant to the preceding clause (1), (2) or (3), the Administrative Agent shall promptly return any such backup Letter of Credit to the Borrower or release such collateral if such extension is not exercised or is not exercisable. 2A.3 Conditions . In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Article IV hereof, the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions: (i) the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank as to form and content; (ii) as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing the requested Facility Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuing Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of the requested Facility Letter or Credit in particular; and
- 55 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 (iii) there shall not exist any Default. 2A.4 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit . (a) Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement (a “Letter of Credit Request”) and shall (i) immediately provide the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent with a telecopy of the written notice required hereunder which has been signed by an Authorized Officer or a telex containing all information required to be contained in such written notice and (ii) promptly provide the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (in no event later than the requested date of issuance) with the written notice required hereunder containing the original signature of an authorized officer; such notice shall be irrevocable, except as provided in Section 2A.4(b)(i) below, and shall specify: 1. the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested (which stated amount shall not be less than $50,000); 2. the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Date”); 3. the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire (which day shall be a Business Day), subject to Section 2A.2(iii) above; 4. the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued; 5. the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued; and 6. any special language required to be included in the Facility Letter of Credit. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than noon (Cleveland time) on the last Business Day on which notice can be given under this Section 2A.4(a). (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IIA and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV hereof have been satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Letter of Credit Request and the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices unless the Issuing Bank has actually received (i) written notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit given not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Issuance Date, or (ii) written or telephonic notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate Section 2A.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2A.4, the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Facility Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing
- 56 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 Bank is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with Section 10.14 and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. (c) The Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) and the Borrower written or telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Notice”). (d) The Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 2A.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued. 2A.5 Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank . (a) The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit. Any such draw shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder but shall constitute an Advance of the Facility in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at the Floating Rate; provided that if a Default regarding the non-payment of any monetary obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders exists at the time of any such drawing(s), then the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the Issuing Bank and until repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest at the Default Rate. (b) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has complied with the procedures specified in Section 2A.4, relieve any Lender of its obligations hereunder to the Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance, and that they appear to comply on their face, with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. 2A.6 Participation . (a) Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IIA, each Lender shall be deemed
- 57 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto) and all related rights hereunder and under the Subsidiary Guaranty and other Loan Documents. (b) In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2A.5 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank. A Lender’s payments of its Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Lender’s Note. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made. Any Lender which fails to make any payment required pursuant to this Section 2A.6(b) shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder. (c) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Percentage thereof. (d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. (e) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Bank to comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit, and such payments shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances. 2A.7 Payment of Reimbursement Obligations .
- 58 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 (a) The obligation of the Borrower to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of all Advances for Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit); (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or (v) the occurrence of any Default. (b) In the event any payment by the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, contribute such Lender’s Percentage of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent. 2A.8 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit . (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank), based upon the Lenders’ respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the “Facility Letter of Credit Fee”) as a percentage of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding equal to the SOFR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time while such Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating
- 59 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 to any Facility Letter of Credit shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination Date or any other earlier date that the Advances and Facility Letter of Credit Obligations are due and payable in full. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof. The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.13 hereof. (b) The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit and on the date of any increase therein or extension thereof. The Issuing Bank shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and the Issuing Bank’s customary administrative charges of issuing, amending and servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder. 2A.9 Letter of Credit Collateral Account . The Borrower hereby agrees that it will immediately upon the occurrence of a Default, or prior to the Facility Termination Date if a Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding and unexpired on such date as provided in Section 2A.2(iii) above, establish a special collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall hold the deposits the Borrower is required to make upon the Facility Termination Date related to any such outstanding and unexpired Facility Letter of Credit or after a Default on account of any outstanding Facility Letters of Credit as described in Section 8.1. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders holding a Commitment, a security interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and any funds that may hereafter be on deposit in such account, including income earned thereon. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Borrower has no obligation to fund the Letter of Credit Collateral Account unless and until so required under Section 2A.2(iii) or Section 8.1 hereof. 2A.10 Obligations Absolute . The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Facility Letters of Credit (and of the Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Bank with respect to Facility Letters of Credit) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid

- 61 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 (a) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation party hereto to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its SOFR Rate Loans, or (b) imposes or increases or makes applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than any other reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to SOFR Rate Advances, if any), or (c) imposes any other condition the direct result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its SOFR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its SOFR Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of SOFR Rate Loans, by a material amount, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its SOFR Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such SOFR Rate Loans or Commitment, then, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6, Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. 3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations . If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such Lender’s capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to
- 62 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 be a “Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 3.3. [Reserved] . 3.4. Funding Indemnification . The Borrower shall compensate each Lender upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its SOFR Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of SOFR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of any SOFR Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its SOFR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9 or (v) as a consequence of (y) any other default by the Borrower to repay or prepay any SOFR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (z) an election made pursuant to Section 2.9. The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such request within 10 days after receipt thereof. 3.5. Taxes . (a) All payments by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and 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 an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount
- 63 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 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 the Borrower or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor 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 3.5) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (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 3.5) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith. (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2 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 Loan Document, 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 Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
- 64 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the 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 the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the 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, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person: (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (I) 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 Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN, or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
- 65 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (II) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI; (III) 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 K-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 Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or (IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-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 K-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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) 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 supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their 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.
- 66 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 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 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 3.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity . If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, Borrower shall not be required to pay the same unless they are the result of requirements imposed generally on lenders similar to such Lender and not the result of some specific reserve or similar requirement imposed on such Lender as a result of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s special circumstances. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, such Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully
- 67 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount; provided that Borrower is not required to compensate Lender pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the events giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to claim compensation therefore. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its SOFR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of SOFR Rate Advances under Section 2.16, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a SOFR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its SOFR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining theTerm SOFR Base Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable thirty (30) days after receipt by Borrower of such written statement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended, and the scheduled date for payment of any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender may not be extended, without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between provision of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interest of any Lender. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further or consent of any of other party to this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall post any such amendment implementing such changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. 8.3. Preservation of Rights . No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or
- 95 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full. 8.4. ESG Amendment . (a) After the Third Amendment Effective Date but prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date (the “ESG Amendment Deadline”), the Borrower, in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent, may in its sole discretion seek to establish specified key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) goals of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (such indicators, “ESG KPI Metrics”) and thresholds or targets with respect thereto (in either case, such thresholds or targets, “SPTs”). The Administrative Agent and the Borrower (each acting reasonably and in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent) may propose an amendment to this Agreement (such amendment, an “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPI Metrics, the SPTs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement. Any such ESG Amendment shall become effective upon (i) receipt by the Lenders of a lender presentation in regard to the KPI Metrics and SPTs from the Borrower no later than five (5) Business Days before the proposed effective date of such proposed ESG Amendment, (ii) the posting of such proposed ESG Amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, (iii) the identification, and engagement at the Borrower’s cost and expense, of a sustainability assurance provider, which shall be a qualified external reviewer of nationally recognized standing, independent of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and (iv) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of executed signature pages and consents to such ESG Amendment from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders comprising at least the Required Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrower’s performance against the KPI Metrics and SPTs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) (such adjustments, the “ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments”) to the Applicable Margin and Facility Fee Percentage may be made; provided that (x) the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than 0.040% in the Applicable Margin during any fiscal year, which pricing adjustments shall be applied in accordance with the terms as further described in the ESG Pricing Provisions, (y) the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than 0.010% in the Facility Fee Percentage during any fiscal year, which pricing adjustments shall be applied in accordance with the terms as further described in the ESG Pricing Provisions and (z) in no event shall any Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Percentage be less than zero (the provisions of this proviso, the “Sustainability Adjustment Limitations”). For the avoidance of doubt, the ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year and shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place. The KPI Metrics, the Borrower’s performance against the KPI Metrics, and any related ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments resulting therefrom, will be determined based on certain Borrower certificates, reports and other documents, in each case, setting forth the KPI Metrics in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles
- 96 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 (as last published in February 2023 by the Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndications & Trading Association, as amended on April 20, 2023 and as may be further amended, revised or updated from time to time prior to the effectiveness of such ESG Amendment), including with respect to the selection, setting, calculation, certification and measurement thereof. Following the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders so long as such modification does not have the effect of (1) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations set forth in the ESG Amendment or (2) reducing any Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Percentage to less than zero. Upon the request of the Borrower prior to the ESG Amendment Deadline and subject to the consent of the Required Lenders, the ESG Amendment Deadline may be extended for an additional six (6) months. Nothing herein shall require Borrower to provide any sustainability reports prior to the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment. (b) The Borrower, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that neither the Loans nor the Commitments are, nor shall be, a deemed sustainability-linked loan unless and until the effectiveness of any ESG Amendment. Prior to the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, the Borrower will not publish any materials or statements (including on any website of the Borrower, in the financial statements or annual reports of the Borrower or in any press release or public announcement issued by the Borrower) which refer to this Agreement being a sustainability-linked loan. (c) Other than (i) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations or (ii) reducing any Applicable Margin or the Applicable Facility Fee to less than zero (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to the written consent of all Lenders in accordance with Section 8.2), this Section 8.4 shall supersede any other clause or provision in Section 8.2 to the contrary, including any provision of Section 8.2 requiring the consent of all Lenders for reductions in interest rates or fees payable hereunder.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such 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 Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (b) As used in this Section 9.17, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank such Lender or Issuing Bank, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment
- 104 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the 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 the 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 the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or other such 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 the 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 (ii) such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.19(b). (c) Each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Bank from any source, against any amount due to the 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 the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Bank 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 the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class (i.e., Revolving Loan or Term Loan) 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 the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (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 the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and

The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans 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 or Issuing Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank 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 the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”). (e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Loan Party, 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 the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. (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 the 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 9.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination
- 106 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. ARTICLE X.

The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives. 10.2. Powers . The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided for in this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent. 10.3. General Immunity . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
- 107 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 10.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made by anyone other than the Administrative Agent or one of its Affiliates in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith with respect to anyone other than the Administrative Agent or one of its Affiliates; (v) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection, or priority of any interest in any collateral security; or (vi) the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by Borrower to the Administrative Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by Borrower to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity). 10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders . The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the required percentage of the Lenders needed to take such action or refrain from taking such action, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, other than liability, cost or expense that arises from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 10.6. Employment of Agents and Counsel . The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its
- 108 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. 10.7. Reliance on Documents; Counsel . The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent. 10.8. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification . The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (i) for those amounts which are specifically reimbursable by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to the extent not so reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s obligations hereunder which are not specifically reimbursable by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent not actually reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of the Administrative Agent’s express obligations and undertakings to the Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 10.9. Rights as a Lender . In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or
- 109 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. 10.10. Lender Credit Decision . Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 10.11. Successor Administrative Agent . Except as otherwise provided below, KeyBank National Association shall at all times serve as the Administrative Agent during the term of this Facility so long as KeyBank continues to be a Lender. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent has been grossly negligent in the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from other Lenders holding in the aggregate at least two-thirds of that portion of the Aggregate Commitment not held by the Administrative Agent or its affiliates, such removal to be effective on the date specified by such other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, such other Lenders shall appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Unmatured Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and its Affiliates that are Qualified Institutions as a successor Agent) If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by such other Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent shall appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent
- 110 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000 (a “Qualified Institution”). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 10.12. Notice of Defaults . If a Lender becomes aware of a Default or Unmatured Default, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact provided that the failure to give such notice shall not create liability on the part of a Lender. Upon receipt of such notice that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of such fact. 10.13. Requests for Approval . If the Administrative Agent requests in writing the consent or approval of a Lender, such Lender shall respond and either approve or disapprove definitively in writing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or by such earlier date as is conspicuously noted in such request if the Administrative Agent has made a reasonable determination that the Borrower has a legitimate business reason for seeking such consent or approval on an expedited basis) after such written request from the Administrative Agent. If the Lender does not so respond to a request with a ten (10) Business Day response time, that Lender shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the Lender does not so respond to request with less than a ten (10) Business Day response time, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be deemed to have denied the request. 10.14. Defaulting Lender Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
- 111 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 (b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations to the Issuing Bank under Article IIA with respect to any then outstanding Facility Letters of Credit; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Facility Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Reimbursement Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed or to be owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (c) Certain Fees. (i) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Facility Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it rather than the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. (ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Facility Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to
- 112 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 the extent allocable to its applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Facility Letters of Credit for which amounts are being held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.14(b) for application to the obligations of such Defaulting Lender. (iii) With respect to any Facility Fee or Facility Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Reimbursement Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. (iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Reimbursement Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause such Non-Defaulting Lender’s share of the aggregate Outstanding Facility Amount to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (d) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
- 113 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 10.15. Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA for purposes of Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement, (ii) the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as, PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect ▇▇▇▇ as to exempt from the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84- 1484-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84- 14 are satisfied with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another
- 114 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). ARTICLE XI. SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 11.1. Setoff . In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due, provided however that any such offset and application shall only be made after such Lender has obtained the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 11.2. Ratable Payments . If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
- 115 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 ARTICLE XII. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 12.1. Successors and Assigns . The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. The parties to the Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under the Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee, provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent and Borrower may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and Borrower may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan. 12.2. Participations . (1) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities (other than an Ineligible Institution) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable
- 116 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. (2) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than those amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all the Lenders pursuant to the terms of clauses (a), (b) or (e) of Section 8.2 hereof. (3) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Administrative Agent, at any reasonable time and upon reasonable prior notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (4) Benefit of Setoff. Each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 and shall not be permitted to share such right with any Participant. 12.3. Assignments . (a) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any other Lender or to any Affiliate of such Lender or of any other Lender without the prior approval of the Borrower, or to one or more other entities, with the prior approval of the Borrower, which approval of the Borrower (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be deemed given if not withheld within five (5) Business Days after written request for such approval from the Administrative Agent and (ii) shall not be required if a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is then continuing (such permitted assignees
- 117 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 hereinafter referred to as “Purchasers”), all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents provided that any assignment of only a portion of such rights and obligations shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 (it being understood and agreed that no Lender may hold an unparticipated interest of less than $5,000,000 unless such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest has been reduced to zero). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment may be made to an Ineligible Institution. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof or an entity that manages a Lender. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (b) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent and Borrower of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “I” to Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 12.3(a), and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignor or assignee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender, and the transferor Lender (other than a transferor Lender transferring to an Affiliate of such Lender unless such Affiliate is a Qualified Institution) shall automatically be released on the effective date of such assignment, with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3(b), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. (c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall maintain at one of its U.S. offices a copy of each Notice of Assignment delivered to it and shall record in its records the names and addresses of the Lenders hereunder and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Register”). The Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall treat each Person whose name is so recorded as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. This Section 12.3(c) shall be construed so that the Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or the regulations
- 118 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 promulgated thereunder). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and upon reasonable prior notice. 12.4. Dissemination of Information . The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, subject in each case to the confidentiality provisions of Section 12.6. 12.5. Tax Treatment . If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5. 12.6. Confidentiality . Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, consultants, service providers, and advisors, including accountants and legal counsel (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, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent or Lender requested to make such disclosure promptly informs the Borrower of such request if lawfully permitted to do so, so that the Borrower may have an opportunity to object and/or seek an appropriate protective order at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, and provided further that the Borrower agrees that in no event shall any such notification be required in respect of any disclosure to bank regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over any Lender, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or the enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents, (f) subject to receipt of a written agreement from such Person containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any Transferee or prospective Transferee of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (h) to any member of the Consolidated Group, or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower, which source is not bound by a contractual or other obligation of confidentiality to any Person. For the purposes of this Section,
- 119 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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. 12.7. Titled Agents . Each of the each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, the Joint Passive Bookrunners, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Sustainability Structuring Agent (each a “Titled Agent”), in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled. 12.8. Sustainability Exculpatory Provisions . None of the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent (a) shall have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or otherwise independently verify, any sustainability-related information or any other information or materials provided by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and used in connection with the sustainability provisions of this Agreement, including with respect to any applicable ESG KPI Metrics, SPTs, ESG Pricing Provisions and ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments (nor any data or computations that are part of or related to such any such terms or provisions), (b) shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) the completeness or accuracy of any such information, nor (c) makes any assurances or guarantees as to whether (i) an ESG Amendment will be effected, (ii) any Commitment or Loan meets any institutional, regulatory or other criteria, strategy, taxonomy or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or sustainability performance of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, any Lender or any other Person, (iii) the characteristics of the relevant ESG KPI Metrics or SPTs to which the Borrower will link a potential margin or fee step-up or step-down, including any environmental or sustainability criteria in respect thereof, meet any industry standards or market expectations for sustainability-linked facilities or (iv) any ESG KPI Metrics or SPTs from time to time in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will be attainable or able to be maintained by the Borrower or its Affiliates. Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, nor the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of any ESG KPI
- 120 - US_ACTIVE\131002028\V-1-3 Metrics, any ESG Applicable Rate Adjustment or any other margin or fee adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set out in any pricing certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry, when implementing any such pricing adjustment). 12.9. Successor Sustainability Structuring Agent . Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Sustainability Structuring Agent as provided in this Section, the Sustainability Structuring Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the reasonable consent of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Sustainability Structuring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Sustainability Structuring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Sustainability Structuring Agent, which shall be a Lender or an Affiliate of any such Lender. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Sustainability Structuring Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Sustainability Structuring Agent and the retiring Sustainability Structuring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Revolving Sustainability Structuring Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the resignation of the Sustainability Structuring Agent hereunder, the provisions of Sections 9.7, 9.11, 12.7, 12.8 and this 12.9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Sustainability Structuring Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Sustainability Structuring Agent.
