WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, the Issuing Lender agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of the Account Beneficiaries from time to time designated by the Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth therein; WHEREAS, pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, the Borrower agreed to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any advances in respect of such Letters of Credit; and WHEREAS, the Borrower and Issuing Lender wish to amend certain provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: § 1 Definitions. Capitalized terms which are used herein without definition and which are defined in the Reimbursement Agreement shall have the same meanings herein as in the Reimbursement Agreement. § 2 Amendments. (a) The definition of “Availability Period End Date” in Section 1.01 (Defined Terms) is hereby amended by deleting such definition in its entirety and inserting in its place the following: “Availability Period End Date” means October 28, 2022 or if such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day. (b) The definition of “LIBOR” in Section 1.01 (Defined Terms) is hereby amended by deleting paragraph (b) in its entirety and inserting in its place the following: (b) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on the LIBOR Reference Page, then LIBOR shall be determined by the Issuing Lender on the basis of the offered quotations of the Reference Bank to prime banks in the London interbank market for Eurodollar deposits having a three-month maturity, by reference to quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date. (c) Section 2.01 (Letters of Credit Facility) is hereby amended by inserting the following as a new sub-section (g): (g) Benchmark Replacement Provisions. (i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the
2 definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (London time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Issuing Lender without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement so long as the Calculation Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Issuing Lender. (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Calculation Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction 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 or any other Transaction Document. (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Calculation Agent will notify the Borrower and the Issuing Lender of (I) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (II) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (III) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and (IV) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Calculation Agent or, if applicable, the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.01(g), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non- occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.01(g). (iv) Benchmark Unavailability Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Drawn Rate shall be the Alternate Drawn Rate. (v) Certain Defined Terms. For the purpose of this this Section 2.01(g): “Alternate Drawn Rate” means a rate per annum less than or equal to the cost to the Issuing Lender (as determined by the Issuing Lender in good faith) as its blended cost to fund the relevant amounts. “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, a period equal to three months. “Benchmark” means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 2.01(g)(i).
3 “Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date: (1) the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; (2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; (3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Calculation Agent as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than zero, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement: (1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent: (a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; (b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and (2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Calculation Agent for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving
4 or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar- denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business Day,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Calculation Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Calculation Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Calculation Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Calculation Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Calculation Agent decides is necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents). “Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: (1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); (2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or (3) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Issuing Lender, so long as the Calculation Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (London time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Issuing Lender, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from the Issuing Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof). “Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
5 (1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); (2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or (3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof). “Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder, and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder. “Corresponding Tenor” with respect to any Available Tenor means, as applicable, either a tenor (including overnight) or an interest payment period having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as such Available Tenor. “Daily Simple SOFR” means, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining “Daily Simple SOFR” for syndicated business loans; provided, that if the Calculation Agent decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Calculation Agent, then the Calculation Agent may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion. “Early Opt-in Election” means, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the occurrence of the joint election by the Calculation Agent and the Borrower to trigger a fallback from USD LIBOR and the provision by the Calculation Agent of written notice of such election to the Issuing Lender.
