(c) If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or Lender shall so request, Lender and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of Lender); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) Borrower shall provide to Lender financial statements and other documents required under this Credit Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

ARTICLE 2

The Credits

Section 2.1 Revolving Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to Borrower in Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in the Total Revolving Outstandings exceeding the Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Revolving Loans may be ABR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or SOFR Loans, as further provided herein.

Section 2.2 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Loan, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of SOFR Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice, to Lender, which may be given by telephone. Except as provided in any agreement for any applicable Cash Management Services, each such notice must be made in writing (or in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) substantially in the form of a Committed Loan Notice appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower and received by Lender (i) in the case of an ABR Loan or a Daily SOFR Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date of the proposed Loan, or (ii) in the case of any other Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, three (3) Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Loan.

(b) Except as provided in any applicable agreement for Cash Management Services or in Section 2.4(c), each Loan or conversion of Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Loan Minimum or a whole multiple of the Loan Multiple in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (A) whether Borrower is requesting a Loan, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of SOFR Loans, (B) the requested date of the Loan, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the Class and principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (D) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (E) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”, and (F) the location and number of Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, if Borrower:

(i) requests a Loan of, conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month;

(ii) fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as ABR Loans; or

(iii) fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation of SOFR Loans, then the applicable Loans shall be automatically continued as SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of the same duration as the Interest Period then ending at the end of such Interest Period applicable thereto.

For avoidance of doubt, Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that any conversion or continuation of an existing Loan shall be deemed to be a continuation of that Loan with a converted interest rate methodology and not a new Loan. Any automatic conversion or continuation as provided above shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable SOFR Loans.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a SOFR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan unless Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.5 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, Lender may require that (i) no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans and (ii) unless repaid, (X) each SOFR Loan be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (Y) each Daily SOFR Loan be immediately converted to an ABR Loan.

(d) Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for SOFR Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

(e) Anything in clauses (a) through (c) above to the contrary notwithstanding, after giving effect to all Loans, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 5 Interest Periods in effect at any time for all SOFR Loans.

(ii) Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit (and, in the case of clauses (B), (C) or (D) below, shall not issue any Letter of Credit) if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to Lender or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Lender shall prohibit, or direct that Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Agreement Date, or shall impose upon Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Agreement Date (for which Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

(B) subject to Section 2.4(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal;

(F) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

(G) the Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $10,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, or $10,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit (or, in each case, such lesser amount as agreed to by Lender).

(iii) Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to Lender in accordance with Section 10.1 with respect to Letters of Credit in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. at least three Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as Lender may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount thereof, (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, and (G) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Lender (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended, (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the nature of the proposed amendment, and (4) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be.

(iii) If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, Lender shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by Lender, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to Lender for any such renewal.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, Lender will also deliver to Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, Lender shall notify promptly Borrower thereof. On the Business Day on which Borrower shall have received notice of any payment by Lender under a Letter of Credit or, if Borrower shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day, on the succeeding Business Day (such applicable Business Day, the “L/C Honor Date”), Borrower shall (regardless of whether or not such Letter of Credit shall be for the sole account of Borrower or for the joint account of Borrower and any Subsidiary) reimburse Lender in an amount equal to such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse Lender on the L/C Honor Date (or if any such reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason), then Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an ABR Revolving Loan in the amount of such unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”). Such Revolving Loan shall be made by Lender without regard to the Loan Minimums and Loan Multiples. Any notice given by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if any drawing occurs under a Letter of Credit and such drawing is not reimbursed on the same day, the Unreimbursed Amount of such drawing shall, without duplication, accrue interest for each day until the date of reimbursement at (x) prior to the third Business Day following the L/C Honor Date, the rate per annum applicable to the outstanding principal balance of ABR Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 3.1(a), and (y) thereafter, a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance of ABR Revolving Loans.

(ii) With respect to an Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by an ABR Revolving Loan because the conditions for Revolving Loans set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied (and have not been waived) or for any other reason, then Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from Lender a L/C Loan in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount, which L/C Loan shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Loan shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guarantee Agreement or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Loan Document Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party.

(e) Role of Lender as Letter of Credit Issuer. Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of Lender, any of its Related Parties nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of Lender shall be liable or responsible for (i) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against Lender, and Lender may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower caused by Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or Lender’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(f) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Document (including any Letter of Credit Application), in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any such Letter of Credit Document, the terms hereof shall control, provided that all non-conflicting terms of any such Letter of Credit Document shall remain in full force and effect.

(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not be responsible to any Loan Party for, and Lender’s rights and remedies against any such Loan Party shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Credit Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

Section 2.5 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitment.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitment shall terminate on the last day of the Availability Period.

(b) Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitment, provided that (i) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment or repayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.7, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Commitment, (ii) each such reduction of the Revolving Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, and (iii) any reduction of the Revolving Commitment to an amount below the L/C Sublimit shall automatically reduce the L/C Sublimit on a Dollar for Dollar basis. If at any time, as a result of such a partial reduction or termination as provided in Section 2.5(a), the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Commitment, then Borrower shall on the date of such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitment, repay or prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Borrower shall notify Lender of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitment under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.

(b) Notes. Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, Borrower shall execute and deliver a Revolving Loan Note. In addition, if requested by Lender, any such Revolving Loan Note may be made payable to Lender and its registered assigns in which case all Loans evidenced by such Revolving Loan Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.4) be represented by one or more Revolving Loan Note in like form payable to the order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

(c) Lender Records.

(d) Register. Entries made in good faith by Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.6(c), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to Lender under this Credit Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under this Credit Agreement.

Section 2.7 Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments. Borrower may, upon written notice to Lender, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay any Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 3.5)), provided that (A) such notice must be received by Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, (1) three (3) Government Securities Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of a SOFR Loan and (2) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of an ABR Loan or a Daily SOFR Loan and (B) each prepayment shall be in a principal amount of the Loan Minimum or a whole multiple of the Loan Multiple in excess thereof or, in each case, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(b) Prepayments of Revolving Loans. If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Commitment then in effect, Borrower shall immediately prepay, without premium or penalty, Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) General Rules. All prepayments shall be subject to Section 3.5, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon and, in the case of any prepayment of a SOFR Loan, any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5.

Section 2.8 Payments Generally; Lender’s Clawback.

(a) General. Each Loan Party shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal of Loans, L/C Loans, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 10.3, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds.

All payments to be made by a Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Lender at such account as Lender may from time to time notify Borrower in accordance with Section 10.1. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Insufficient Payment. Subject to the provisions of Article 8, whenever any payment received by Lender under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to Lender under or in respect of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by Lender and applied by Lender (i) first, towards payment of all fees and expenses due to Lender under the Loan Documents, (ii) second, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal of Loans and unreimbursed L/C Loans then due hereunder.

(ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, immediately (without the necessity of any request), in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount of such L/C Obligation,

(iii) if Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.2, immediately upon any request by Lender, in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount of all L/C Obligations, and

(iv) if the L/C Obligations exceed the L/C Sublimit, within two Business Days following any request by Lender, in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount of such excess.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. As security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(c), Borrower hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Lender, and shall thereafter maintain, a first priority perfected security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing. Promptly following a request by Lender, Borrower shall enter into documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender as Lender may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the above-described grant of security. If at any time Lender determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Lender, pay or provide to Lender additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest-bearing deposit accounts at Citizens Bank. Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c) Application. Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.10 or Sections 2.5 or 8.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to secure obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable obligations giving rise thereto or (ii) the determination by Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.10, the Person providing Cash Collateral and Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(a) Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(b) Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a Daily SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan or the Daily SOFR Rate with respect to any proposed Daily SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding such Loan, Lender will promptly so notify Borrower.

Upon notice thereof by Lender to Borrower, any obligation of Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans, and any right of Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until Lender revokes such notice. Upon Borrower’s receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) or Daily SOFR Loans or, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) (X) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (Y) each Daily SOFR Loan will be immediately converted into an ABR Loan.

Subject to Section 3.7, if Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until Lender revokes such determination.

Section 3.4 Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining any maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement)), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, Lender;

(ii) subject Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by Lender or any Letter of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Commitment or the Loans or the Letters of Credit issued by Lender, to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation. pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered or taxes incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions or taxes (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions or taxes is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Illegality. If Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by Lender to Borrower, (a) any obligation of Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans, and any right of Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which ABR Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the case of SOFR Loans and immediately in the case of Daily SOFR Loans, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, Lender shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” in each case until Lender determines that it is no longer illegal for Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5.

Section 3.5 Compensation for Losses. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 3.6 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower or Lender) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any such party, then such party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.6, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(f) Confidentiality. Nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender or any other indemnified party to make available any of its Tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Reimbursement. So long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, if Lender determines that it has received a refund of a Tax for which an additional payment has been made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.6, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such amount (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 3.6 with respect to the Tax giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and a Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 3.7), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent (subject to clause (y) below) of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Lender 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 Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Lender will promptly notify Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. Lender will notify Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.7(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.7.

(d) 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 the 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 Lender in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then (i) Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Lender 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.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

Borrower shall indemnify Lender and each of its Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including Attorney Costs), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter, term sheet, fee letter or any other Contractual Obligation entered into by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the foregoing, (iii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim or Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (vi) any government investigation, audit, hearing or enforcement action resulting from Borrower’s or any of its Affiliate’s noncompliance (or purported noncompliance) with any applicable Sanctions, other Anti-Terrorism Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws (it being understood and agreed that the Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this clause (including indemnification for fines, penalties and other expenses) regardless of whether any adverse finding is made against Borrower or any of its Affiliates), provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the indemnity set forth above in this paragraph shall be held to be unenforceable in whole or in part because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified amounts incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns and participants permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

(b) Assignments and Participations by Lender. Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Borrower’s consent shall be deemed reasonably conditioned if the letter of credit rating of such assignee does not satisfy the required rating of Borrower’s suppliers; provided, further, that such consent shall not be required if an Event of Default exists. From and after the effective date of each such assignment, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and have the rights and obligations of Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement and shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.5, Section 10.3 and Section 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

Section 10.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any L/C Obligation or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.3, 10.9, and 10.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the Termination Date.

Section 10.6 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Integration. This Credit Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page counterpart hereof by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic association of signatures and records on electronic platforms, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code, each as amended, and the parties hereto hereby waive any objection to the contrary, provided that (x) nothing herein shall require Lender to accept electronic signature counterparts in any form or format and (y) Lender reserves the right to require, at any time and at its sole discretion, the delivery of manually executed counterpart signature pages to this Credit Agreement and the parties hereto agree to promptly deliver such manually executed counterpart signature pages. This Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 10.7 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Credit Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.8 Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender and its branches and Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Lender or any such branch or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to Lender or such branch or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not Lender or such branch or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or Subsidiary may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Lender and its branches and Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender and its branches and Affiliates may have. Lender agrees to notify Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 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.
