SECTION 3. Conditions to Effectiveness.

SECTION 6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Survival. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all of the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect as written, unmodified hereby and are hereby ratified by the Borrower and each other Loan Party. In the event of any conflict between the terms, provisions, covenants, representations and warranties and conditions of this Amendment, on the one hand, and the Credit Agreement or any other applicable Existing Document, on the other hand, this Amendment shall control.

(b) Further Assurances. Each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party each agrees to execute such other documents, instruments and agreements and take such further actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to effectuate the provisions of this Amendment.

(c) Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment that is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, solely as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Amendment or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Amendment in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Amendment is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

(d) Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and the other applicable Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties to the Credit Agreement and such other applicable Loan Document with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among such parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any exhibits or annexes attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

(e) Binding Effect, Beneficiaries. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to the Credit Agreement and each other applicable Loan Document and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns, and no other party shall derive any rights or benefits herefrom.

(f) Governing Law, Etc.

(i) This Amendment 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 Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(ii) The provisions of Sections 10.15(b), 10.15(c), 10.15(d) and 10.16 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis as if full set forth herein.

(g) Construction. This Amendment shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party drafting this Amendment.

(h) Notices. All notices relating to this Amendment shall be delivered in the manner and subject to the provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(i) Counterparts; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement. Except as provided in Section 3, this Amendment shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of each other party hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(j) Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

(k) Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Other Loan Documents. On and after the Effective Date, each reference in any Loan Document to the Credit Agreement and the use therein of “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall, in each case, mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect (with the same priority, as applicable) and are hereby ratified and confirmed and this Amendment shall not be considered a novation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other party under, the Amended Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. This Amendment shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document”, “Credit Document”, “Transaction Document”, “Financing Agreement” or “Related Document” (or other analogous or similar defined term) for purposes of the Amended Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(l) Administrative Agent Provisions.

(i) By their signatures hereto, each Lender (which collectively constitute the Required Lenders under the applicable Loan Documents), hereby (A) acknowledges, accepts, and consents to this Amendment, (B) designates this Amendment as a Loan Document in all respects in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (C) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to execute, deliver, and perform this Amendment.

(ii) It is acknowledged and agreed that (A) this Amendment is executed and delivered by Citibank, N.A., not individually or personally but solely as Administrative Agent in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it hereunder and under the Amended Credit Agreement, (B) the Administrative Agent has executed and delivered this Amendment in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders set forth in Section 6(l)(i) above, (C) the Administrative Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and shall not be responsible or accountable in any way whatsoever for or with respect to the validity, execution (except with respect to itself) or sufficiency of this Amendment and makes no representation with respect thereto, and (D) in connection with its execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment, the Administrative Agent (and its Related Parties) shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Amended Credit Agreement limiting the liability of or affording rights, benefits, protections, privileges, immunities, exculpations, immunities, or indemnities to

the Administrative Agent as if they were each expressly set forth herein mutatis mutandis. In the case of any reference herein to the taking or omitting to take any action and/or the giving of any consent, approval or direction by the Administrative Agent, it is understood and agreed that in all cases the Administrative Agent shall only take such action in accordance with the written direction of the Required Lenders. In the case of a conflict between this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement shall govern and control the liabilities, rights, obligations, privileges, protections, exculpations, immunities, indemnities and benefits of the Administrative Agent.

(m) Post-Closing Condition. Subject to Section 2.9(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the request of any Lender and upon the receipt by the Borrower at the Corporate Office or through the Custodian at the Lender’s election, of any then-existing Note, execute and deliver to such Lender one or more replacement Notes with respect to each such existing Note, substantially in the form of Annex D attached hereto.

Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. The computation of interest rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This clause (b) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.6(a)(i) or under Article VIII; provided that any inaccuracy described in this clause (b) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(c) so long as (x) the Borrower complies with the terms of this clause (b) and (y) the Borrower was in compliance with the covenants in Section 7.5 at the date the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was inaccurately calculated (as evidenced by a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of such date). The

Borrower’s obligations under this clause (b) shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 2.9 Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary course of business. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 10.7(c). The accounts, records and Register maintained pursuant to this clause (a) shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Xxxxxx and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender, including due to an assignment or transfer of Loans, made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower as issuer (suscriptor) and each Guarantor organized under the laws of Mexico, as guarantor (avalista), shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note (xxxxxx), which shall evidence such Xxxxxx’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. It is the intent of the Loan Parties and the Lenders that the Notes qualify as pagarés under Mexican law.

(b) In the event that the Applicable Margin increases or a Benchmark Replacement occurs in accordance with the provisions herein with respect to a Loan held by such Lender, the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the request of such Lender and only upon the receipt by the Borrower at the Corporate Office or through the Custodian at the Lender’s election, of any then-existing Notes evidencing such Loan, execute and deliver to such Lender one or more replacement Notes with respect to each such existing Note, reflecting the new Applicable Margin or Benchmark Replacement as of the date of such increase or replacement, as applicable. Any such replacement Notes shall, at the Lender’s election, be made available at the Corporate Office or delivered to the Custodian on behalf of such Lender, and if the applicable Lender shall assume full liability and provide customary indemnification for the loss thereof in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, such Lender may elect for the Borrower to deliver such replacement Note by courier or other nationally recognized delivery service.

Section 2.10 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) Payments by Xxxxxxxx. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office (or to such other account as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in writing) in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will, to the extent funds are received from the Borrower as provided herein, promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Xxxxxx’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon New York City time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall

continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Funding by Xxxxxxx; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.2) and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.5(c) are several and not joint. The failure of

any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.5(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.5(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.11 Sharing of Payments by Xxxxxxx. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Xxxxxx’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(a) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(b) the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.12 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Xxxxxx’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” and Section 10.1.

(ii) 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) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.9 shall be applied at such time or times as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of 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; third, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of 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 fifth, 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 and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower determines that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower will instruct the Administrative Agent to notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the 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 necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the 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 Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.13 Sustainability Adjustments.

(a) Following the date on which the Borrower provides a Pricing Certificate pursuant to Section 6.14(a) in respect of its most recently ended Annual Period, the Applicable Margin (including for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee) shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) the Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth (5^th) Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate based upon the KPI Metrics set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment therein (such day, the

“Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (B) each change in the Applicable Margin (including for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee) resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.14(a)); provided that if any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall occur before the last day of an Interest Period, no change to the Applicable Margin as a result of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be effective for purposes of Section 2.6 until the first day of the immediately succeeding Interest Period.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that (i) only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Annual Period, (ii) any Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be iterative and shall not be cumulative year-over-year and (iii) Sustainalytics delivered a second party opinion to the Borrower on August 17, 2021.

(c) It is hereby understood and agreed that if no Pricing Certificate is delivered by the Borrower within the period set forth in Section 6.14(a), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive five (5) basis points, commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 6.14(a) and continuing until the Borrower delivers a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent and a new Applicable Margin is determined pursuant to Section 2.13(a) above and, pending delivery of a Pricing Certificate no Default or Event of Default shall occur in relation to the failure to deliver such Pricing Certificate.

(d) If (i)(A) any of the Borrower or any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported on the applicable Pricing Certificate (a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and, not later than thirty (30) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof delivers a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (who shall furnish a copy to each of the Lenders and the Borrower) or (B) the Borrower and the Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of the relevant Pricing Certificate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee for such period, then the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to: (x) the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (y) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period (the “True-Up Amount”). If the Borrower becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee for such period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Borrower of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable),

commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable.

(e) To the extent any event occurs (which would include, without limitation, a material disposal or material acquisition) which, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, means that one or more of the KPI Metrics is no longer appropriate, then the Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent will report to the Lenders that such KPI will no longer apply in relation to the Loans for the remainder of the Facilities. In such a scenario, the Borrower will then cease to refer to the applicable KPI Metrics in the Pricing Certificate for such period and the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of such KPI Metrics.

(f) To the extent the Sustainability Structuring Agent ceases to be a Lender, the Borrower undertakes to use reasonable endeavors to seek to appoint another entity that is a Lender to fulfil the role of Sustainability Structuring Agent.

(g) It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, provided that the Borrower complies with the terms of this Section 2.13 with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, (i) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (d) above shall not be due and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (d) above, (ii) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to such demand for payment by Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and (iii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such a demand or shall accrue interest at the Default Rate prior to such a demand.

(h) The Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agent shall not have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of any Sustainability Margin Adjustment (or for the KPI Metrics or any of the other data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate, or for evaluating or determining any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively, and shall not incur any liability in so relying, on any such certificate or related notice, without further inquiry).

ARTICLE III TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.1 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.1, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party 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 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 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 applicable Loan Party 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 3.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Xxxxxxxx. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any Other Taxes in accordance with Applicable Law.

(d) Indemnification by Xxxxxxxx. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, 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 3.1) 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. A payment shall not be increased under this clause (d) by reason of a tax deduction on account of Tax imposed by Switzerland if so required under Applicable Law (including double tax treaties), to the extent that on the date on which payment falls due, increasing such payment in such way would breach any Swiss law; provided that the Borrower or a Swiss Guarantor, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such tax deduction on account of Tax imposed by Switzerland or to prevent such increase in payment from breaching any Swiss law, including, without limitation, by causing such payment to a Recipient to be made by or through an entity which is not a tax resident in Switzerland.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.7(d) 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 clause (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.1, the Borrower 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 the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).

(g) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(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 and information 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, including the information set forth in Sections 3.18.18 and/or 3.19.19 of the Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal para 2021 (or any substitute or successor provisions). 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 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) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.1 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.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or have any obligation to pay to any Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient 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 by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental

Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.1 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 other Obligations.

Section 3.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the 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 3.3 Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(a) [Reserved.]

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error).

(c) At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(d) In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, subject to Section 3.3(j) and the proviso in Section 10.1 but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(e) The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) will notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.3(f). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.3, 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, (x) in the case of any determination, decision or election by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3 will be made at the written direction of the Required Lenders, and (y) in the case of any determination, decision or election by any Lender (or group of Lenders), if applicable, pursuant to this Section 3.3, may be made in its or their sole discretion, and, in each case will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.3.

(f) At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR), then the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of any rate hereunder (including, without limitation, any applicable Benchmark), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document of, the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event, or matter related to any of the foregoing, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, or any other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, or (iii) to select, determine or designate any modifier to any replacement or successor index.

(h) The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the administration, submission or any other matter related to any rate hereunder (including, without limitation, the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, SOFR, or any other Benchmark), or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation any Benchmark Replacement implemented hereunder), (ii) the composition or characteristics of any Benchmark Replacement, including whether it is similar to, or produces the same value or economic equivalence to or have the same volume or liquidity as any other rate hereunder (including the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, SOFR (or any other Benchmark)), (iii) any actions or use of its discretion or other decisions or determinations made with respect to any matters covered by this Section 3.3, including, without limitation, whether or not a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, the removal or lack thereof of unavailable or non-representative tenors, the implementation or lack thereof of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the delivery or non-delivery of any notices required by clause (e) above or otherwise in accordance herewith, and (iv) the effect of any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of the unavailability of any rate hereunder (including, without limitation, the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark)) and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the Borrower or the Lenders, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

(j) The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to follow or agree to any amendment or supplement to this Agreement (including any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes) that would increase or materially change or affect the duties, obligations or liabilities of the Administrative Agent (including the opposition or expansion of discretionary authority), or reduce, eliminate, limit or otherwise change any right, privilege or protection of the Administrative Agent, or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the Administrative Agent, in each case in its sole judgment, without the Administrative Agent’s express written consent.

Section 3.4 Increased Costs; Reserves on SOFR Loans.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.4(e));

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income 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 any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.4(a) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 3.4 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such 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 any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the 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 more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on SOFR Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each SOFR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

Section 3.5 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.14; including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each SOFR Loan made by it at Adjusted Term SOFR for such

Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing for a comparable amount and for a comparable tenor, whether or not such SOFR Loan was in fact so funded.

Section 3.6 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Loan to the Borrower through any Lending Office; provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.2, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.4, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.2, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.6(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.14.

Section 3.7 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.8 Inability to Determine Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, but subject to Section 3.3, if in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) the Required Lenders reasonably determine that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan or (b) the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that 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 making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Required Lenders will instruct the Administrative Agent to promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Adjusted Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case, until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may

revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

misappropriation or other violation of the IP Rights of any other Person, except for any such failure to own, license or possess, or such infringement, that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, in the two (2) year period preceding the Effective Date, there has been no unauthorized use, access, interruption, modification, or corruption of any information technology systems (or any sensitive or personal information stored or contained therein or transmitted thereby) owned or controlled by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not now knowingly engaged in any dealings or transactions with any person that is the subject or the target of Sanctions or with any Designated Jurisdiction.

Section 5.19 Anti-Corruption Laws. During the five (5) years prior to the Effective Date, none of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or the directors of the Borrower or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate or other person acting on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has (i) used any funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity; (ii) made or taken an act in furtherance of an offer, promise or authorization of any direct or indirect unlawful payment or benefit to any foreign or domestic government or regulatory official or employee, including of any government-owned or -controlled entity or of a public international organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any of the foregoing, or any political party or party official or candidate for political office; (iii) except for any violation of Applicable Law resulting from matters under investigation on the Effective Date as disclosed in the Borrower’s annual report on Form 20-F for 2020, violated or is in violation of any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the Mexican Ley General del Sistema Nacional Anticorrupción, the Mexican Federal Criminal Code (Código Penal Federal), the

(f) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to or in connection with any cash pooling or other cash management agreements with a bank or financial institution, but only to the extent of offsetting credit balances of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are not Loan Parties pursuant to such cash pooling or other cash management arrangement;

(g) Indebtedness for taxes levied, assessments due and other governmental charges required to be paid as a matter of law or regulation in the ordinary course of trading; and

(h) additional Indebtedness, if, after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness of all non-guarantor Subsidiaries would not exceed the greater of (x) 15% of consolidated tangible assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries based on the last balance sheet delivered pursuant to Section 6.1, and (y) U.S.$2.0 billion.

For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount of any Indebtedness will be calculated for purposes of this Section 7.2 solely by reference to such Indebtedness of each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries that is not a Loan Party.

Section 7.3 Fundamental Changes and Asset Dispositions.

(a) The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions to enter into any consolidation or merger with any other Person, unless no Default would exist and such transaction would not be prohibited by clause (b) below; provided that (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation involving the Borrower, the surviving entity thereof (1) is the Borrower or (2) (A) assumes the Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to an Acceptable Assumption Agreement and (B) is a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of Mexico, the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, Canada, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, or any political subdivision thereof or any other jurisdiction reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders and (ii) in the case of a merger or consolidation involving a Guarantor, (1) the surviving entity thereof is the Borrower, is (or will concurrently become) a Guarantor or otherwise assumes the Obligations of a Guarantor pursuant to an

103

Acceptable Assumption Agreement or (2) such transaction (A) results in the Guarantor no longer being a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower and (B) is not prohibited by Section 7.3(b).

(b) The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, whether in a single transaction or in a series or related transactions (including through liquidation, division, administration or other insolvency proceedings), Dispose all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than through a contribution of assets to a newly-formed Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower.

Section 7.4 Restricted Payments.

The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries, to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, or incur any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to do so, except that:

(a) each Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments to the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower and any other Person that owns an Equity Interest in such Subsidiary, ratably according to their respective holdings of the type of Equity Interest in respect of which such Restricted Payment is being made;

(b) the Borrower and each Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments payable solely in the Common Stock or other common Equity Interests of such Person;

(c) the Borrower and each Subsidiary may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire Equity Interests issued by it with the proceeds received from the substantially concurrent issue of new shares of its Common Stock or other common Equity Interests;

(d) the Borrower may make Restricted Payments to comply with any obligation in respect of any Executive Compensation Plan of the Borrower; and

(e) the Borrower and each Subsidiary may make any Restricted Payment, so long as (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Restricted Payment, or would result therefrom and (ii) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants in Section 7.5 after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment.

Section 7.5 Financial Covenants.

(a) The Borrower will not permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to be greater than 3.75:1.0 on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the last day of the first fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended after the Initial Funding Date.

(b) The Borrower will not permit the Consolidated Coverage Ratio to be less than 2.75:1.0 on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the last day of the first fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended after the Initial Funding Date.

Each of the ratios referred to above will be calculated for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for each consecutive four fiscal quarter period.

104

(m) Moratorium. Any Governmental Authority shall, by moratorium laws or other similar laws (except for any such law relating to matters of public health or national emergency), cancel, suspend or defer any material payment Obligation when the same becomes due and payable and such cancellation, suspension or deferral shall continue for 60 or more consecutive days.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall occur solely by reason of a failure by the Borrower to comply with its obligations under clause (a) of Section 6.14 (Sustainability Reporting).

107

Section 8.3 Application of Funds.

ARTICLE IX ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such rights, powers, authorities and privileges as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof. For such purposes, each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent (comisionista) pursuant to articles 273 and 274 of the Mexican Commerce Code (Código de Comercio) to exercise the rights, powers, and authorities specifically given to the Administrative Agent under or in connection with the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

108

Section 9.2 Rights as a Lender. If any Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder is or becomes a Lender, it shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.

(a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (including providing any request, consent, approval, waiver or authorization), except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(iii) shall not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, Lead Arrangers or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein;

(iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful

109

misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document for indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender; and

(v) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents or accuracy of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (including recalculating or determining, confirming or verifying any calculation or information set forth therein), (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or (vi) the properties, books or records of the Borrower.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any Loan Document to which it is a party, or be required to take any action that is contrary to this Agreement or Applicable Law.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Administrative Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

(d) The authorizations, rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Administrative Agent are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Administrative Agent, under any Loan Document to which it is a party. In the event any claim of inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of any Loan Document arises with respect to the duties, liabilities and rights of the Administrative Agent, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(e) In no event shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable for the actions or omissions of the Sustainability Structuring Agent or the Custodian.

Section 9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic

110

message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may (but shall not be obligated to) rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any discretionary action by consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Administrative Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Administrative Agent, it is understood that in all cases that the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such written instruction, advice or concurrence from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party), in each case as it deems appropriate. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions or requests unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability, cost and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action in compliance with the instruction or request. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future Lenders.

Section 9.5 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.5 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who

111

received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. 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 or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from 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 this Agreement or 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, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake 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 shall (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) 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 9.5(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.5(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.5(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned.

112

(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 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 at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) 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 Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Custodian, at the Lender’s election, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. 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 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 (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 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 under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other 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 the Borrower or any other 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, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Section 9.6 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 9.7 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Xxxxxxx and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the

114

“Removal Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Date or the Removal Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.1(f) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Date or the Removal Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.6). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Any corporation or entity into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or entity succeeding to the business of the Administrative Agent or its corporate trust operations shall be the successor of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or thereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto or thereto, anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 9.8 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent nor the Lead Arrangers has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arrangers hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arrangers to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arrangers have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to

115

the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

Section 9.9 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arrangers or the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Section 9.10 Guaranty Matters. The Administrative Agent shall, upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders, release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty. If any Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents, then such Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Guaranty. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon the written request of the Borrower and at the Borrower’s sole cost, execute all such documentation as may reasonably requested to evidence or confirm such release.

Section 9.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

117

(1) (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other obligations of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(2) (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Section 10.4 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any party hereto to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.2 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.9 (subject to the terms of Section 2.12), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clause (b) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.12, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Sustainability Structuring Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (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 the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this 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, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.1), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim not involving an act or omission of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and that is solely among Indemnitees (other than against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such). Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.1(c), this Section 10.5(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Xxxxxxx. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 10.5 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among

123

them based on such Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to any damages in respect of any indemnity obligations to the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 10.5 and the indemnity provisions of Section 10.5 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

(g) No Personal Liability. If an individual signs a certificate on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the certificate proves to be incorrect, the individual will incur no personal liability as a result, unless the individual acted fraudulently in giving the certificate.

Section 10.6 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b)

124

each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.7 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.3) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section 10.7 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Xxxxxxx. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that withholding or delaying consent with respect to an assignment to any Disqualified Lender or any Sanctioned Lender shall not be deemed unreasonable) unless (a) an event of default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such assignment may be made to any Person other than a Disqualified Lender or a Sanctioned Lender, or (b) the assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund in each case that is not a Disqualified Lender. Each such assignment (other than an assignment to a Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) shall (i) not be less than U.S.$5.0 million in respect of loans and commitments under the Revolving Facility and (ii) U.S.$1.0 million in respect of loans and commitments under the Term Facility. For any assignments for which the Borrower’s consent is required, such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower shall not have responded within ten (10) Business Days of a written request for such consent.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lead Arranger shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders or Sanctioned Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or prospective Lender is a Disqualified Lender or

125

Sanctioned Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender or Sanctioned Lender.

The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S.$3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

No such assignment shall be made to (i) any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (ii) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.

No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations. A participant shall have the same benefits as the Lender granting such participation with respect to (a) yield protection and increased cost (but not requiring payments in excess of those payable to such Lender in the absence of such participation), (b) with respect to pro rata treatment provisions and (c) Section 3.1, except such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Voting rights of participants shall be limited to those matters with respect to which the affirmative vote of each affected Lender or all Lenders are required as described in Section 10.1. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,

126

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, letters of credit 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, letter of credit 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banks; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.8 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the 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 Affiliates, its auditors and its Related Parties on a need-to-know basis (it being understood that (i) 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 pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) the Borrower’s prior written consent shall be required prior to providing any such Information to any controlling persons or equity holders of any Arranger or Lender), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), in which case the disclosing Person agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof prior to such disclosure, unless such Person is prohibited by Applicable Law from so informing the Borrower, or except in connection with any request as part of any audit or regulatory examination, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, in which case the disclosing Person (except in connection with any order or request as part of any routine audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any regulatory examination or audit) agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof prior to disclosure, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.8, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) potential investors and re-insurance and insurance brokers or (iii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in

127

connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the application, issuance, publishing and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the prior written consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.8, (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates from a source other than the Borrower that is not to the recipient’s (or any of its Related Party’s) knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrower or any of its Related Parties or (z) is independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any Information received from the Borrower or violating the terms of this Section 10.8. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information limited solely to economic and structural terms of the Loans to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.

For purposes of this Section 10.8, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the applicable disclosing party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.8 shall be principally liable on a several basis to the extent any confidentiality restrictions set forth herein are violated by one or more of its Related Parties.

Section 10.9 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is 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 such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated on its books and records by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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.

128

Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent 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. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Loan Parties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of any Loans. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. The provisions of Section 3.1, Section 10.5, Section 10.8, Section 10.15, Section 10.16, Section 10.17, Section 10.18 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof or the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect

129

of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, acting in good faith), then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 10.14 Replacement of Lenders. If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.6, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.7), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.4) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in (b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and

(e) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 10.13 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower and the assignee, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the

130

applicable Lender; provided, further, that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.14 to the contrary, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.6.

(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. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 10.23, 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: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Section 10.24 Use of English Language. This Agreement has been negotiated and executed in the English language, which such English language version shall be the original instrument and shall govern among the parties hereto. Except for any Notes and such documents required to be delivered in connection with the Effective Date or the Initial Funding Date in a different language, all certificates, reports, notices and other documents and communications given or delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including any modifications or supplements hereto) shall be in the English language, or accompanied by an English translation thereof. Except in the case of (i) laws or official communications of Mexico, (ii) documents filed with any Governmental Authority in Mexico or (iii) corporate documents of the Borrower or any Guarantor, and (iv) any other document originally issued in a language other than English, the English language version of any such document shall for purposes of this Agreement, and absent manifest error, control the meaning of the matters set out therein; provided that, the Administrative Agent’s sole obligation in respect of any documents delivered in a language other than English (without limiting its obligations under any corresponding document in the English language) shall be to make such documents available to the Lenders on the Platform, and the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations in respect of such documents.

Section 10.25 Swiss Guarantee Limitation. Any guarantee, indemnity or other obligation provided under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by a Swiss Guarantor shall be deemed not to be provided by such Swiss Guarantor to the extent that the same would constitute a breach of the financial assistance prohibitions under Swiss law. Under Swiss law, the following restrictions shall be applicable to each Swiss Guarantor:

(a) Any guarantee, indemnity or other obligation and liability by a Swiss Guarantor under this Agreement or any Loan Documents in relation to the obligations, undertakings, indemnities or liabilities of a Guarantor other than that Swiss Guarantor or any of its fully owned or controlled subsidiaries (the “Restricted Obligations”) shall be limited to the amount of that Swiss Guarantor’s Free Reserves Available for Distribution at the time payment is requested or the maximum amount permitted by Swiss law applicable at such time. Such limitations shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under Applicable Law (including any case law) at the point in time payment is requested. Such limitation (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not free such Swiss Guarantor from payment obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents in excess thereof, but merely postpone the payment date therefor until such times as payment is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation.

(b) For the purpose of this Section 10.25, “Free Reserves Available for Distribution” means an amount equal to the maximum amount in which the relevant Swiss Guarantor can make a dividend payment to its shareholder(s) (being the year to date balance sheet profit and any freely disposable equity available for this purpose, in each case in accordance with applicable Swiss law). The freely disposable equity represents, inter alia, but not by way of limitation, the total shareholder equity less the total of: (i) the aggregate share capital, (ii) the statutory reserves (including reserves for own shares and revaluations), to the extent such reserves cannot be transferred into unrestricted, distributable reserves, and (iii) any freely disposable equity that has to be blocked for any loans granted by the Swiss Guarantor to a direct or indirect shareholder or a direct or indirect subsidiary of such shareholder.

136

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after having been requested to discharge a Restricted Obligation, the respective Swiss Guarantor shall provide the Administrative Agent with an interim statutory balance sheet audited by the statutory auditors of such Swiss Guarantor setting out the Free Reserves Available for Distribution and, promptly thereafter, pay the lesser of (i) the Restricted Obligation and (ii) the amount corresponding to the Free Reserves Available for Distribution or the maximum amount permitted by Swiss law applicable at the time payment is requested to the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) (save to the extent provided below).

(d) In case a Swiss Guarantor who must make a payment in respect of the Restricted Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is obliged to withhold Swiss withholding tax in respect of such payment, such Swiss Guarantor shall:

(i)

if and to the extent required by Applicable Law in force at the relevant time:

(1)

procure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss withholding tax, or with deduction of Swiss withholding tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification (Meldeverfahren) pursuant to Applicable Law (including double tax treaties) rather than payment of the Tax;

(2)

if the notification procedure (Meldeverfahren) pursuant to paragraph (1) above does not apply, deduct Swiss withholding tax at the rate of 35% (or such other rate as in force from time to time), or if the notification procedure (Meldeverfahren) pursuant to paragraph (1) above applies for a part of the Swiss withholding tax only, deduct Swiss withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after the discharge of part of such Tax by notification under Applicable Law, from any payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations and promptly pay any such Taxes to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and

(3)

notify the Administrative Agent that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made and provide evidence to the Administrative Agent that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made, or, as the case may be, that such Swiss withholding tax has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;

(ii) to the extent such deduction is made, not be required to make a gross-up, indemnify or otherwise hold harmless the Lenders for the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, unless grossing-up is permitted under the laws of Switzerland then in force and provided that this should not in any way limit any obligations of any non-Swiss Guarantors under the Loan Documents to indemnify the Lenders in respect of the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax.

137

(e) The Swiss Guarantor shall use all reasonable efforts to procure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial refund of any Swiss withholding tax paid pursuant to paragraph (d) above will, as soon as possible after the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax: (i) request a refund of the Swiss withholding tax under any Applicable Law (including double taxation treaties) and (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded. The Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) shall take all reasonable steps to cooperate with the Swiss Guarantor to secure such refund.

(f) In case the proceeds irrevocably received by the Administrative Agent and any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e)(ii) above have the effect that the proceeds received by the Administrative Agent and any Lender exceed the amount of obligations guaranteed by the relevant Swiss Guarantor, then the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders) or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly return such overcompensation to the relevant Swiss Guarantor.

(g) The Swiss Guarantor will take, and cause to be taken, as soon as reasonably practicable, all and any other action, including, without limitation, the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the receipt of any confirmations from the Swiss Guarantor’s auditors, whether following a request to discharge a Restricted Obligation or which may be required as a matter of mandatory Swiss law in force at the time it is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in order to allow a prompt payment of amounts owed by the Swiss Guarantor or the prompt performance of other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(h) If the enforcement of the Restricted Obligations would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 10.25 and if any asset of the Swiss Guarantor has a book value that is less than its market value (an “Undervalued Asset”), the Swiss Guarantor shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and its accounting standards, (i) write up the book value of such Undervalued Asset such that its balance sheet reflects a book value that is equal to the market value of such Undervalued Asset, and (ii) make reasonable efforts to realize the Undervalued Asset for a sum which is at least equal to the market value of such asset. Without prejudice to the rights of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Swiss Guarantor will only be required to realize an Undervalued Asset if such asset is not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).
