In the event of such a requested increase in the Commitments, any Lender or other financial institution which the Borrower and the Agent invite to become a Lender or to increase its Commitment may set the amount of its Commitment at a level agreed to by the Borrower, the Agent and the LC Issuers. In the event that the Borrower and one or more of the Lenders (or other financial institutions) shall agree upon such an increase in the Commitments (i) the Borrower, the Agent, the LC Issuers and each Lender or other financial institution increasing its Commitment or extending a new Commitment shall enter into a supplement to this Agreement (each, a “Lender Supplement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit G setting forth, among other things, the amount of the increased Commitment of such Lender or the new Commitment of such other financial institution, as applicable, and (ii) the Borrower shall furnish, if requested, new or amended and restated Notes, as applicable, to each financial institution that is extending a new Commitment and each Lender that is increasing its Commitment. No such Lender Supplement shall require the approval or consent of any Lender whose Commitment is not being increased; provided, however, that the consent of each of the LC Issuers shall be required to such Lender Supplement (which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the LC Issuers). Upon the execution and delivery of such Lender Supplements as provided above and the occurrence of the “Effective Date” specified therein, and upon satisfaction of such other conditions as the Agent may reasonably specify, the financial institutions that are extending new Commitments and the Lenders that are increasing their Commitments (including, without limitation, the Agent administering the reallocation of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposures ratably among the Lenders after giving effect to each such increase in the Commitments, and the delivery of certificates, evidence of corporate authority and legal opinions on behalf of the Borrower), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended accordingly.

(b) Default Interest. (i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (x) the Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (y) the LC Fee shall be increased by 2% per annum, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay, to the fullest extent permitted by law, interest on the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above.

(i) SECTION 2.07 Interest Rate Determination. (a) If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.“Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for an Adjusted Term SOFR Advance or a Conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Adjusted Term SOFR Advance 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 Agent,

the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

(b) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurodollar Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Adjusted Term SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue Adjusted Term SOFR Advances or to Convert Base Rate Advances to Adjusted Term SOFR Advances, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Adjusted Term SOFR Advances or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of Adjusted Term SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected Adjusted Term SOFR Advances or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or Conversion to Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Adjusted Term SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been Converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such Conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Subject to Section 2.07(e), if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Advances shall be suspended determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer existrevokes such determination.

(b) (c) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate AdvancesAdjusted Term SOFR Advance in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Eurodollar Rate AdvancesAdjusted Term SOFR Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate AdvancesAdvance.

“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 clause (i) of this Section 2.07(g).

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the 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 Agent and the Borrower 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 Agent in its reasonable discretion.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(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 under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

(b) If any Lender or LC Issuer determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any rule, guideline, requirement, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such LC Issuer or any corporation controlling such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder or to participate in Facility LCs hereunder and other commitments of this type or such LC Issuer’s issuance of Facility LCs hereunder, then, upon demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, from time to time as specified by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder or to participate in Facility LCs hereunder or such LC Issuer’s agreement to issue Facility LCs hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) In the event that a Lender demands payment from the Borrower for amounts owing pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10, the Borrower may, upon payment of such amounts and subject to the requirements of Sections 8.04 and 8.07, substitute for such Lender another financial institution, which financial institution shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall assume the Commitments of such Lender and purchase the Outstanding Credit Exposures held by such Lender in accordance with Section 8.07, provided, however, that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower shall have satisfied all of its obligations in connection with the Loan Documents with respect to such Lender, and (iii) if such assignee is not a Lender, (A) such assignee is acceptable to the Agent and (B) the Borrower shall have paid the Agent a $3,500 administrative fee.

(d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.10, then such Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit Advances 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 2.10 in the future and (ii) 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.

(e) For purposes of this Section 2.10, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, requirements, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have been enacted, adopted and issued after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(f) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or LC Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.11 Illegality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law

or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances hereunder, (i) each Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance or a Revolving Credit Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.06(a)(i), as the case may be, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(b) If a Conversion occurs or the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances is suspended, in each case, pursuant to Section 2.11(a), then the Lender causing such Conversion and/or suspension shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit Advances 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 reinstate the Lenders’ obligations to make Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances and to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances and (ii) 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.

SECTION 2.12 Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds and without set off, deduction or counterclaim other than deductions on account of taxes. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, Facility Fees or LC Fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.13 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders and the LC Issuers, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender or LC Issuer to such Lender or LC Issuer for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender and each LC Issuer, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender or LC Issuer is not made when due hereunder or under the

Note held by such Lender or LC Issuer, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender or LC Issuer any amount so due.

(c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate, when such computations of the Base Rate are based on the Prime Rate, shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Base Rate (other than such computations of the Base Rate that are based on the Prime Rate), of interest based on the Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR, of the Facility Fees and of the LC Fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, such Facility Fees or such LC Fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, Facility Fee or LC Fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders or the LC Issuers hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender or LC Issuer. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender or LC Issuer together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender or LC Issuer until the date such Lender or LC Issuer repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 2.13 Taxes. (a) Subject to the exclusions set forth below in this Section 2.13(a) and, if applicable, compliance with Section 2.13(e), any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.12, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, duties, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender, each LC Issuer and the Agent, (i) any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, duties, charges or withholdings imposed on its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, (x) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and (y), in the case of each Lender and each LC Issuer, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any United States withholding taxes imposed

by FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, duties, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). Notwithstanding the above, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Agent, the Borrower will so deduct and (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all such deductions on account of Taxes (including deductions on account of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Without duplication of the Borrower’s payment obligations on account of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) and (b), the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender, each LC Issuer and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax on

payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information; however, such a Lender will not be entitled to any payment or indemnification on account of any Taxes imposed by the United States.

(f) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder would be subject to United States withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower will not be obligated to make payments on account of or indemnify the Lenders, the LC Issuers or the Agents for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, duties, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, or any present or future stamp or other documentary taxes or property taxes, charges or similar levies that are neither Taxes nor Other Taxes except as may be required by Section 2.10.

(h) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.13(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under the first sentence of subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.13(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.

(i) In the event that a Lender demands payment from the Borrower for amounts owing pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13, the Borrower may, upon payment of such amounts and subject to the requirements of Sections 8.04 and 8.07, substitute for such Lender another financial institution, which financial institution shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall assume the Commitments of such Lender and purchase the Outstanding Credit Exposures

held by such Lender in accordance with Section 8.07, provided, however, that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower shall have satisfied all of its obligations in connection with the Loan Documents with respect to such Lender, and (iii) if such assignee is not a Lender, (A) such assignee is acceptable to the Agent and (B) the Borrower shall have paid the Agent a $3,500 administrative fee.

(j) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender that is not an Initial Lender and who purchased its interest in this Agreement without the consent of the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a), seeks (i) payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.13(a), (ii) payment of Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.13(b), or

(iii) indemnification for Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.13(c), the amount of any such payment or indemnification will be no greater than what it would have been had the Initial Lender not transferred, assigned or sold its interest in this Agreement.

(k) If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit Advances 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 this Section 2.13 in the future and (ii) 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.

(l) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent for any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, assessments, duties, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, (but, in the case of any Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Agent in connection with this Agreement and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.13(l) shall be paid within 30 days after the Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount so paid or payable by the Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(m) For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under the FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrower and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

SECTION 2.14 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Outstanding Credit Exposures owing to it (other than pursuant to

Section 2.10, 2.13 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposures obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposures owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.15 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances shall be available and Facility LCs shall be issued hereunder (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds and Facility LCs) solely for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.17 Facility LCs.

(a) Issuance. Each LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower (each, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify”, and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding LC Obligations plus the aggregate amount, if any, by which the stated amount of all outstanding Facility LCs may by their terms or the terms of any Facility LC Applications be automatically increased shall not exceed $500,000,000 (the “LC Commitment”), (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate of all the Commitments and (iii) the aggregate stated amount of all outstanding Facility LCs issued by such LC Issuer shall not exceed $50,000,000, as such amount may be increased or decreased from time to time with the written consent of the Borrower, the Agent and each LC Issuer (provided that any increase in such amount with respect to any LC Issuer shall only require the consent of the Borrower and such LC Issuer, but in all events shall be subject to the LC Commitment). No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the earlier of (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the Termination Date and (y) one year after its issuance; provided that any Facility LC with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referenced in clause (x) above). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (other than the notice required pursuant to Section 2.16(c) below, which shall be deemed satisfied by the attached Schedule II), from and after the Effective

Date, each of the letters of credit identified in Schedule II hereto (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) and issued for the account of the Borrower or for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be deemed to be Facility LCs issued pursuant to this Agreement, and any reference in this Agreement to the “issuance” of a Facility LC (or “issue” or other references to forms of such verb in this context) shall include the deemed issuance provided hereby.

(b) Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by any LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.16 (including, from and after the Effective Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit), any LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from any LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

(c) Notice. Subject to Section 2.16(a), the Borrower shall give any LC Issuer and the Agent notice prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC by delivery of a Facility LC Application together with agreed-upon draft language for such Facility LC reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC Issuer, and specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by any LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article III (the satisfaction of which such LC Issuer shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to such LC Issuer and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as such LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(d) Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the applicable LC Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by such LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of such LC Issuer to the Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. Each LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs issued by such LC Issuer as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Default or any condition precedent whatsoever to reimburse such LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by such LC Issuer under each Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16(e) below, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing

amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of such LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advances.

(e) Reimbursement by Borrower. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse each LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by such LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction of such LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by such LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. Each LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to such LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.16(d). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Notice of Borrowing in compliance with Section 2.02(a) and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02), the Borrower may request a Revolving Credit Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. The Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuers and the Lenders that the LC Issuers and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuers shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection

with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put any LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.16(f) is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against any LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.16(e).

(g) Actions of LC Issuers. Each LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such LC Issuer. Each LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16, each LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement 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 the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC. No LC Issuer shall have any obligation to issue any Facility LC if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Issuer from issuing such Facility LC, or any applicable law or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such LC Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Facility LC in particular or shall impose upon such LC Issuer with respect to such Facility LC any restriction, reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such LC Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it, or (ii) the issuance of such Facility LC would violate one or more policies of such LC Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

(h) Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify each LC Issuer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.16 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

(i) Facility LC Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees that it will, upon the request of the Agent or the Required Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and

thereafter as long as any amount is payable to any LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”) at the Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Section 8.02, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 6.01. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and any LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. The Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of the Agent having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section 2.16(i) shall either obligate the Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 6.01.

(j) Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, each LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.

(k) LC Issuer Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Agent, each LC Issuer shall report in writing to the Agent (i) promptly following the end of each calendar month, the aggregate amount of Facility LCs issued by it and outstanding at the end of such month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such LC Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Facility LC, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Facility LC to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such LC Issuer shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Facility LC to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such LC Issuer makes any payment under any Facility LC, the date of such payment under such Facility LC and the amount of such payment, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse any payment under any Facility LC required to be reimbursed to such LC Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

SECTION 2.17 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Credit Extension made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the date and the amount of each Credit Extension made hereunder and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due

and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto pursuant to Section 8.07, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof, (v) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (vi) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and interest.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations hereunder and under the Notes therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Lender may request that its Revolving Credit Advances be evidenced by a promissory note representing its Revolving Credit Advances substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each, a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Revolving Credit Advances evidenced by each such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 8.07) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 8.07, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Revolving Credit Advances once again be evidenced as described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

SECTION 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(a);

(b) the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.01, other than those which require the consent of all Lenders or of each affected Lender);

(i) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of the LC Obligations shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ LC Obligations plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and

the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the LC Issuers only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) by depositing funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account for so long as such LC Obligations are outstanding

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Facility Fees or LC Fees with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations are cash collateralized

(iv) if the LC Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the LC Fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the LC Issuers or any Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Obligations) and LC Fees payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations shall be payable to the LC Issuers until such LC Obligations are cash collateralized and/or reallocated

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Issuer shall be required to issue or Modify any Facility LC, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.18(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or Modified Facility LC shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein)

(e) the Borrower may, subject to the requirements of Sections 8.04 and 8.07, substitute for such Defaulting Lender another financial institution, which financial institution shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall assume the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender and purchase the Outstanding Credit Exposures held by such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 8.07; provided, however, that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower shall have satisfied all of its obligations in connection with the Loan Documents

with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and (iii) if such assignee is not a Lender, (A) such assignee is acceptable to the Agent and (B) the Borrower shall have paid the Agent a $3,500 administrative fee

(f) to the extent the Agent receives any payments or other amounts for the account of a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have requested that the Agent use such payment or other amount to fulfill such Defaulting Lender’s previously unsatisfied obligations to fund a Revolving Credit Advance or any other unfunded payment obligation of such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.02(d), 2.12(e), 2.16(d) or 7.05

(g) no Lender shall be deemed to have consented to increase its Commitment pursuant to Section 2.04(c) unless that Lender shall have affirmatively given consent in accordance with that Section; and

(h) for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall retain and reserve its other rights and remedies respecting each Defaulting Lender.

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any LC Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such LC Issuer shall not be required to Modify any Facility LC, unless such LC Issuer shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to such LC Issuer to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Agent, the Borrower and the LC Issuers each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Obligations shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par on a ratable basis such of the Outstanding Credit Exposures of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Outstanding Credit Exposures in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender. For the purposes of clarity, in the event any Defaulting Lender is reinstated as a non-Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof (i) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, such reinstatement shall not constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.19 Extension of Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date (other than the Termination Date), by notice to the Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that each Lender extend (each such date on which an extension occurs, an “Extension Date”)

such Lender’s then effective Termination Date (the “Existing Termination Date”) to the date that is one year after such Lender’s Existing Termination Date; provided that (i) such notice shall be made on a Business Day, (ii) no Extension Date shall occur if, after giving effect to such Extension Date, the Termination Date shall be more than five (5) years after such Extension Date and (iii) if any requested Extension Date is not a Business Day, such Extension Date shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(b) Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Agent given not later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Agent received the Borrower’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the Termination Date.

(d) The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Termination Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are not Ineligible Institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Agent and the LC Issuers in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.10(c), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.07, with the Borrower obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee; provided, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the $3,500 processing and recordation fee in connection therewith) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Termination Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide solely for any such extensions with the consent of the Borrower but without the consent of any other Lenders.

(e) If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Termination Date and the new or increased Commitments of any Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the then Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder. For purposes of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Termination Date on any date of determination shall not be a date more than five (5) years after such date of determination, whether such determination is made before or after giving effect to any extension request made hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Termination Date shall be permitted hereunder and (y) any extension of any Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender unless:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto;

(ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, as of such earlier date); and

(iii) the Agent shall have received a certificate dated as of the applicable Extension Date from the Borrower signed by an authorized officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension.

(g) It is understood and agreed that the Existing Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender shall remain unchanged and the repayment of all obligations owed to them pursuant to this Agreement and any related Loan Documents and the termination of their Commitments shall occur on the then Existing Termination Date without giving effect to such extension request.

(h) On the Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.05 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations owing to it under this Agreement) and after giving effect

thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 8.04(c)) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such date, and the Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Outstanding Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement).

(i) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or Section 8.01 to the contrary.

Each Lender agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in subclause (iii) below) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.

(v) This clause (b) shall terminate on the date that neither Citibank nor any of its Affiliates is the Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 8.04 Costs and Expenses; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, upon presentation of a statement of account and absent manifest error, all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Document and the other documents to be delivered hereunder and thereunder, including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings), transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, consultant, and audit expenses, and (B) the reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under the Loan Documents. The Borrower further

agrees to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuers in connection with the issuance or Modification of and draws under Facility LCs, and (ii) all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses of the Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable internal and external counsel fees and expenses, provided such fees and expenses are not duplicative), in connection with the “workout”, restructuring or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent, each LC Issuer and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, to the extent legally permissible, and hold harmless the Agent, each LC Issuer and each Lender and each of their Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with (i) the Loan Documents, any Facility LC, any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided that upon receipt of notice of any such matter by a representative of the Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender, as applicable, having primary responsibility for the relationship between the Borrower and the Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, the Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Borrower shall have no liability for any settlement effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against the Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any Facility LC, any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions.

(c) If any payment or reallocation of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar RateAdjusted Term SOFR Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.07(dc) or (ed), 2.09 or 2.11(a), acceleration of the maturity of the Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, or for any other reason, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to

the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Credit Extension.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the internet), or (ii) 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 or thereby, any of the transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, any Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Agent, the LC Issuers or the Lenders shall assert, and each of the Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower 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 or thereby, any of the transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, any Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit the Borrower’s reimbursement and indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 8.04. For the avoidance of doubt, all payments to which the Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders are expressly entitled under this Agreement, including without limitation amounts due under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.13, if demanded in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed direct and not consequential damages.

SECTION 8.05 Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposures due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender, each LC Issuer and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, upon prior notice to the Agent (provided that, the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, such LC Issuer or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents and any Note held by such Lender or such LC

Issuer, whether or not such Lender or such LC Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured; 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 Agent for further application in accordance with Section 2.18(f) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the indebtedness owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender and each LC Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender, each LC Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender, such LC Issuer and their respective Affiliates may have.

SECTION 8.06 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective (other than Section 2.01, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent, each LC Issuer and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders to any Person.

SECTION 8.07 Assignments, Designations and Participations. (a) Each Lender may (i) with the prior consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall not be required in the event of an assignment or grant pursuant to Sections 8.07(g) or (h) or an assignment to any other Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund), (ii) for so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and provided, in any event, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within ten (10) days after having received notice thereof, and which consent shall not be required in the event of an assignment or grant pursuant to Sections 8.07(g) or (h) or an assignment to any other Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund), and (iii) with the prior consent of the LC Issuers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall not be required in the event of an assignment or grant pursuant to Section 8.07(g) or (h)), assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Outstanding Credit Exposures owed to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (A) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (B) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such

assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (C) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and (D) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fee may be waived by the Agent in its sole discretion if such assignment is to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (1) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (2) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and

Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice, if requested by the applicable Lender, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder, if requested by such assigning Lender, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.

(d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses and Commitment of, and principal amount of Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities, other than an Ineligible Institution, in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the owner of such Credit Extensions for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would (A) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Credit Extensions or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or (B) increase the Commitments, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposures or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the exclusions, in each case, as if it were a Lender, of Sections 2.10, 2.11(a) and 2.13 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest under this Agreement by an assignment made pursuant to this Section 8.07, provided, however, that (i) such participant complies with the requirements of Section 2.13(e) and (ii) in no event shall the Borrower be obligated to make any payment with respect to such Sections that is greater than the

amount that the Borrower would have otherwise made had no participations been sold under this Section 8.07(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest 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.

(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment, designation or participation or proposed assignment, designation or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee, designee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee, designee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Person (other than the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower), including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, provided that no such security interest shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such other Person for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Designating Lender”) may grant to one or more special purpose funding vehicles (each an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Designating Lender to the Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Revolving Credit Advance that such Designating Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower or to participate in any Facility LC pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Revolving Credit Advance or to participate in any Facility LC issued hereunder, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Revolving Credit Advance, the Designating Lender shall be obligated to make such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) the Designating Lender shall remain liable for any indemnity or other payment obligation (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.16) with respect to its Commitment hereunder and (iv) no SPV or Designating Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater amount

under this Agreement than the Designating Lender would have been entitled to receive had the Designating Lender not otherwise granted such SPV the option to provide any Revolving Credit Advance to the Borrower. The making of a Revolving Credit Advance by an SPV hereunder and the participation of an SPV in any Facility LC issued hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Revolving Credit Advance or participation in such Facility LC were made by such Designating Lender.

(i) Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that no SPV shall have the rights of a Lender hereunder, such rights being retained by the applicable Designating Lender. Accordingly, and without limiting the foregoing, each party hereby further acknowledges and agrees that no SPV shall have any voting rights hereunder and that the voting rights attributable to any Credit Extension made by an SPV shall be exercised only by the relevant Designating Lender and that each Designating Lender shall serve as the administrative agent and attorney-in-fact for its SPV and shall on behalf of its SPV receive any and all payments made for the benefit of such SPV and take all actions hereunder to the extent, if any, such SPV shall have any rights hereunder. No additional Note shall be required to evidence the Credit Extensions or portion thereof made by an SPV; and the related Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold its Note or Notes, if any, as administrative agent for such SPV to the extent of the Credit Extensions or portion thereof funded by such SPV. In addition, any payments for the account of any SPV shall be paid to its Designating Lender as administrative agent for such SPV.

(j) Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable so long as, and to the extent that, the related Designating Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment; provided, with respect to such agreement by the Borrower that the related Designating Lender shall not be in breach of its obligation to make Credit Extensions to the Borrower hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreements shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof; provided, with respect to such agreement by the Borrower that the related Designating Lender shall not be in breach of its obligation to make Credit Extensions to the Borrower hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Designating Lender unconditionally agrees to indemnify the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be incurred by or asserted against the Borrower, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising as a consequence of any such forbearance or delay in the initiation of any such proceeding against its SPV.

(k) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subsection 8.07(h), (i), (j) or (k) or otherwise in this Agreement, any SPV may (i) at any time and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign or participate all or a portion of its interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure to the Designating Lender or to any financial institutions providing

liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Outstanding Credit Exposure and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Outstanding Credit Exposure to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancements to such SPV. Subsection 8.07(h), (i), (j) or (k) may not be amended without the written consent of any Designating Lender affected thereby.

SECTION 8.08 Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any LC Issuer or Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to the Agent’s, such LC Issuer’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and each of their Related Parties and, as contemplated by Section 8.07(f), to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrower received by it from the Agent, such LC Issuer or such Lender, (d) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks, other financial institutions or banking, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) on a confidential basis to any such LC Issuer’s or Lender’s direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, (x) to any credit or financial insurance provider in connection with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, and (y) to any Person that requires such Confidential Information in connection with obtaining CUSIP-based identifiers and (h) information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE PROVIDED TO THE AGENT A

CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 8.10 Execution in Counterparts; Integration; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and any separate letter agreement with respect to fees payable to the Agent or confidential information (the latter of which shall apply solely to information provided prior to the date hereof) 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. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (other than in connection with a written confirmation of a Notice of Borrowing as set forth in Section 2.02), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 8.11 Jurisdiction, Etc.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the

laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any New York State or federal court.

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule:

“Level I Status” exists at any date if, on such date, the Borrower’s Xxxxx’x Rating, is A2 or better or the Borrower’s S&P Rating is A or better.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the Borrower’s Xxxxx’x Rating is A3 or better or the Borrower’s S&P Rating is A- or better.

“Level III Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) the Borrower’s Xxxxx’x Rating is Baa1 or better or the Borrower’s S&P Rating is BBB+ or better.

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status and (ii) the Borrower’s Xxxxx’x Rating is Baa2 or better or the Borrower’s S&P Rating is BBB or better.

“Level V Status” exists at any date if, on such date, the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status.

“Xxxxx’x Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by Moody’s and then in effect with respect to the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.

“S&P Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by S&P and then in effect with respect to the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.

The Applicable Margin, the Applicable LC Fee Rate and Applicable Percentage shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Borrower’s Status as determined from its then-current Moody’s and S&P Ratings. The credit rating in effect on any date for the purposes of this Schedule is that in effect at the close of business on such date. If at any time the Borrower does not have both a Xxxxx’x Rating and an S&P Rating, Level V Status shall exist; provided, however, that if the credit rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Schedule to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the applicable Status for the Borrower shall be the Borrower’s Status most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Except as specifically provided above in this Schedule, in the event that a split occurs between the two ratings, the pricing shall be based upon the higher of the two ratings then applicable. However, if the split is greater than one level, then the pricing shall be based upon the rating one level below the higher of the two ratings.

EXHIBIT E-1 - FORM OF

OPINION OF ASSOCIATE GENERAL COUNSEL TO THE BORROWER

April 15, 2019

To each of the Lenders party to the

Credit Agreement defined below

DTE Energy Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(v) of the Fourth Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 15, 2019, among DTE Energy Company (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as “Lenders” and Citibank, N.A. (the “Agent”), as agent for said Lenders. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I am the Associate General Counsel of the Borrower and have acted as counsel for the Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents.

In that connection, I, in conjunction with the members of my staff, have examined:

(i) Each Loan Document, executed by each of the parties thereto.

(ii) The other documents furnished by the Borrower pursuant to Article III of the Credit Agreement.

(iii) The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Borrower and all amendments thereto (the “Charter”).

(iv) The Bylaws of the Borrower and all amendments thereto (the “Bylaws”).

(v) A certificate from the State of Michigan attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower.

In addition, I have examined the originals or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Borrower, and agreements, instruments and other documents, as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. As to questions of fact material to such opinions, I have, when relevant facts were not independently established by me, relied upon certificates of public officials. I have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Credit Agreement by the Lenders and the Agent.

My opinions expressed below are limited to the law of the State of Michigan and the federal law of the United States.

Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as I have deemed necessary, I am of the following opinion:

1. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, are within the Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) the Charter or the Bylaws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower, or (iii) any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Borrower.

3. No consent, authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery, recordation, filing or performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

4. The Credit Agreement has been, and each of the Notes when delivered will have been, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower.

5. Except as may have been disclosed to you in the SEC Reports, to the best of my knowledge (after due inquiry) there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or proceedings affecting the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that (i) could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) purport to affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of any Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

6. In a properly presented case, a Michigan court or a federal court sitting in the State of Michigan applying Michigan choice of law rules should give effect to the choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents and should hold that the Loan Documents are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York rather than the laws of the State of Michigan. In rendering the foregoing opinion, I note that by their terms the Loan Documents expressly select New York law as the laws governing their interpretation and that the Loan Documents governed by New York law were delivered by the parties thereto to the Agent in New York. The choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents are not voidable under the laws of the State of Michigan.

7. If, despite the provisions of Section 8.09 of the Credit Agreement, wherein the parties thereto agree that the Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, a court of the State of Michigan or a federal court sitting in the State of Michigan were to hold that the Loan Documents are governed by, and to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, the Loan Documents would be, under the laws of the State of Michigan, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.

8. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company,” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

(a) My opinion in paragraph 7 above as to enforceability is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(b) My opinion in paragraph 7 above as to enforceability is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) I express no opinion as to participation and the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement of the Loan Documents may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible.

I am a member of the Bar of the State of Michigan, and do not express any opinion concerning any law other than the law of the State of Michigan and the federal laws of the United States of America.

This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the above-described transaction. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by any other person or entity without my prior written consent (provided, that this opinion letter may be furnished to and relied upon by a subsequent assignee of, or participant under, the Credit Agreement and a Note, if any, solely for the purpose of such assignment or participation, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications, set forth herein, without any prior written consent). I undertake no duty to inform you or any assignee or participant of events occurring subsequent to the date hereof.

Very truly yours,
