Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited; tabular amounts in thousands, except percentages, share and per share amounts)

June 18, 2023

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023 included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the fiscal quarter and two fiscal quarters ended June 18, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

2. Segment Information

The following tables summarize revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other, which is the measure by which the Company allocates resources to its segments and which the Company refers to as Segment Income, for each of its reportable segments. Intersegment revenues are comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies from the supply chain segment to the Company-owned stores in the U.S. stores segment. Intersegment sales prices are market based. The “Other” column as it relates to Segment Income below primarily includes corporate administrative costs that are not allocable to a reportable segment, including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company changed its allocation methodology for certain costs which support certain internally developed software used across the Company’s franchise system. This allocation methodology change was implemented in order to reflect the way the chief operating decision maker allocates resources to the Company’s reportable segments and evaluates segment profitability, including the costs of internally developed software.

The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs resulted in an estimated increase in U.S. stores Segment Income of $15.8 million, an estimated increase in international franchise Segment Income of $1.9 million and an estimated decrease in other Segment Income of $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs resulted in an estimated increase in U.S. stores Segment Income of $25.9 million, an estimated increase in international franchise Segment Income of $3.8 million and an estimated decrease in other Segment Income of $29.7 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs had no impact on revenues, supply chain Segment Income or total Segment Income. The change in allocation methodology for certain software development costs is a prospective change and the comparative information has not been restated.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Fair Value of Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Fair Value of Investments

The Company holds a non-controlling interest in DPC Dash Ltd (“DPC Dash”), the Company’s master franchisee in China that owns and operates Domino’s Pizza stores in that market. Prior to March 28, 2023, the Company’s investment in DPC Dash’s senior ordinary shares, which were not in-substance common stock, represented an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and was recorded at cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices resulting from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer or impairments.

On March 28, 2023, DPC Dash completed its initial public offering on the Hong Kong Exchange (HK: 1405), at which point the Company’s 18,101,019 DPC Dash senior ordinary shares automatically converted to DPC Dash ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the investment. The Company is required to hold the DPC Dash ordinary shares for at least 360 days from the date of the initial public offering. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Company accounts for its investment in DPC Dash as a trading security and records it at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recorded in other income or expense in its condensed consolidated statements of income.

As of June 18, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s investment in DPC Dash is based on the active exchange quoted price for the equity security of HK$47.90 per share. The Company recorded an adjustment to the carrying amount of its investment in DPC Dash of $15.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, with the loss recorded in other expense in its condensed consolidated statements of income. As of January 1, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s investment in DPC Dash was not readily determinable and was categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company did not record any adjustments to the carrying amount of its investment in the first quarter of 2023 or the two fiscal quarters of 2022. The Company transferred its investment from Level 3 to Level 1 on March 28, 2023, concurrent with DPC Dash’s initial public offering.

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed rate notes are classified as Level 2 measurements, as the Company estimates the fair value amount by using available market information. The Company obtained quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s fixed rate notes and, at times, trade these notes. The Company also performed its own internal analysis based on the information gathered from public markets, including information on notes that are similar to those of the Company. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to estimate fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debtholders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values stated below.

Management estimated the approximate fair values of the Company’s 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021 notes as follows:

	June 18, 2023				January 1, 2023

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, updated by ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. On May 15, 2023, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries executed an amendment to the Company’s 2021 variable funding notes to affect the transition from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), plus a spread adjustment. In connection with this contract amendment, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04 (as updated by ASU 2022-06) in the second quarter of 2023. The amendment to the Company’s 2021 variable funding notes and the adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”), which clarifies and amends the guidance of measuring the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 also requires disclosure of the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions and the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. The Company’s investment in DPC Dash (Note 5) is subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the Company from selling the security for 360 days following DPC Dash’s initial public offering. The Company early adopted ASU 2022-03 in the second quarter of 2023 and the adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

(Unaudited; tabular amounts in millions, except percentages and store data)

The 2023 and 2022 second quarters referenced herein represent the twelve-week periods ended June 18, 2023 and June 19, 2022, respectively. The 2023 and 2022 two fiscal quarters referenced herein represent the twenty-four-week periods ended June 18, 2023 and June 19, 2022, respectively. In this section, we discuss the results of our operations for the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023 as compared to the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022.

Overview

Domino’s is the largest pizza company in the world, with more than 20,000 locations in over 90 markets around the world as of June 18, 2023, and operates two distinct service models within its stores with a significant business in both delivery and carryout. Founded in 1960, we are a highly recognized global brand, and we focus on value while serving neighborhoods locally through our large network of franchise and Company-owned stores through both the delivery and carryout service models. We are primarily a franchisor, with approximately 99% of Domino’s global stores owned and operated by our independent franchisees as of June 18, 2023.

The Domino’s business model is straightforward: Domino’s stores handcraft and serve quality food at a competitive price, with easy ordering access and efficient service, enhanced by our technological innovations. Our hand-tossed dough is made fresh and distributed to stores around the world by us and our franchisees.

Domino’s generates revenues and earnings by charging royalties and fees to our independent franchisees. We also generate revenues and earnings by selling food, equipment and supplies to franchisees primarily in the U.S. and Canada and by operating a number of U.S. Company-owned stores. Franchisees profit by selling pizza and other complementary items to their local customers. In our international markets, we generally grant geographical rights to the Domino’s Pizza® brand to master franchisees. These master franchisees are charged with developing their geographical area, and they may profit by sub-franchising and selling food and equipment to those sub-franchisees, as well as by running pizza stores directly. We believe that everyone in the system can benefit, including the end consumer, who can purchase Domino’s menu items for themselves and their family conveniently and economically.

Our financial results are driven largely by retail sales at our franchised and Company-owned stores. Changes in retail sales are driven by changes in same store sales and store counts. We monitor both of these metrics very closely, as they directly impact our revenues and profits, and we strive to consistently increase both metrics. Retail sales drive royalty payments from franchisees, as well as Company-owned store and supply chain revenues. Retail sales are primarily impacted by the strength of the Domino’s Pizza brand, the results of our extensive advertising through various media channels, the impact of technological innovation and digital ordering, our ability to execute our strong and proven business model and the overall global economic environment.

The Domino’s business model can yield strong returns for our franchise owners and our Company-owned stores. It can also yield significant cash flow to us, through a consistent franchise royalty payment and supply chain revenue stream, with moderate capital expenditures. We have historically returned cash to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases since becoming a publicly-traded company in 2004. We believe we have a proven business model for success, which includes leading with technology, service and product innovation and leveraging our global scale, which has historically provided strong returns for our shareholders.

Second Quarter of 2023 Highlights

•Global retail sales, excluding foreign currency impact (which includes total retail sales at Company-owned and franchised stores worldwide), increased 5.8% as compared to the second quarter of 2022. U.S. retail sales increased 1.7% and international retail sales, excluding foreign currency impact, increased 10.1% as compared to the second quarter of 2022.

•Same store sales increased 0.1% in our U.S. stores and increased 3.6% in our international stores (excluding foreign currency impact).

•Revenues decreased 3.8%.

•Income from operations increased 9.7%.

•Net income increased 6.7%.

•Diluted earnings per share increased 9.2%.

Two Fiscal Quarters of 2023 Highlights

•Global retail sales, excluding foreign currency impact (which includes total retail sales at Company-owned and franchised stores worldwide), increased 5.8% as compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2022. U.S. retail sales increased 3.4% and international retail sales, excluding foreign currency impact, increased 8.3% as compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2022.

•Same store sales increased 1.8% in our U.S. stores and increased 2.3% in our international stores (excluding foreign currency impact).

•Revenues decreased 1.3%.

•Income from operations increased 8.8%.

•Net income increased 10.7%.

•Diluted earnings per share increased 13.2%.

Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency, Domino’s experienced global retail sales growth during the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023, driven by both same store sales growth and net store count growth. U.S. same store sales increased 0.1% and 1.8% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023, respectively, rolling over a decline in U.S. same store sales of 2.9% and 3.3% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively. The increases in U.S. same store sales in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023 were attributable to a higher average ticket per transaction resulting from increases in menu and national offer pricing. In the two fiscal quarters of 2023 in the U.S., we also launched our newest menu item, Domino’s Loaded Tots. International same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) increased 3.6% and 2.3% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023, respectively, rolling over a decline in international same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) of 2.2% and 0.5% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively. Our U.S. and international same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) continue to be pressured by our fortressing strategy, which includes increasing store concentration in certain markets where we compete, as well as changes in consumer behavior.

We continued our global expansion with the opening of 197 net stores in the second quarter of 2023, bringing our year-to-date total to 325. We had 27 net stores open in the U.S. and 170 net stores open internationally during the second quarter of 2023.

Overall, we believe our continued global store growth, along with our global retail sales growth (excluding foreign currency impact), emphasis on technology, operations and marketing initiatives, have combined to strengthen our brand.

Statistical Measures

The tables below outline certain statistical measures we utilize to analyze our performance. This historical data is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future period.

Global Retail Sales Growth (excluding foreign currency impact)

Global retail sales growth (excluding foreign currency impact) is a commonly used statistical measure in the quick-service restaurant industry that is important to understanding performance. Global retail sales refers to total worldwide retail sales at Company-owned and franchised stores. We believe global retail sales information is useful in analyzing revenues because franchisees pay royalties and, in the U.S., advertising fees that are based on a percentage of franchise retail sales. We review comparable industry global retail sales information to assess business trends and to track the growth of the Domino’s Pizza brand. In addition, supply chain revenues are directly impacted by changes in franchise retail sales in the U.S. and Canada. Retail sales for franchised stores are reported to us by our franchisees and are not included in our revenues. Global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact, is calculated as the change of international local currency global retail sales against the comparable period of the prior year.

	Second Quarter of 2023	Second Quarter of 2022	Two Fiscal Quarters of 2023	Two Fiscal Quarters of 2022
U.S. stores	+ 1.7%	(0.6)%	+ 3.4%	(1.0)%
International stores (excluding foreign currency impact)	+ 10.1%	+ 3.7%	+ 8.3%	+ 6.0%
Total (excluding foreign currency impact)	+ 5.8%	+ 1.5%	+ 5.8%	+ 2.5%

Same Store Sales Growth

Same store sales growth is a commonly used statistical measure in the quick-service restaurant industry that is important to understanding performance. Same store sales growth is calculated for a given period by including only sales from stores that also had sales in the comparable weeks of both periods. International same store sales growth is calculated similarly to U.S. same store sales growth. Changes in international same store sales are reported on a constant dollar basis, which reflects changes in international local currency sales.

Store Growth Activity

Net store growth is a commonly used statistical measure in the quick-service restaurant industry that is important to understanding performance. Net store growth is calculated by netting gross store openings with gross store closures during the period. Transfers between Company-owned stores and franchised stores are excluded from the calculation of net store growth.

Revenues primarily consist of retail sales from our Company-owned stores, royalties and fees and advertising contributions from our U.S. franchised stores, royalties and fees from our international franchised stores and sales of food, equipment and supplies from our supply chain centers to substantially all of our U.S. franchised stores and certain international franchised stores. Company-owned store and franchised store revenues may vary from period to period due to changes in store count mix. Supply chain revenues may vary significantly from period to period as a result of fluctuations in commodity prices as well as the mix of products we sell.

U.S. Company-owned Stores

Revenues from U.S. Company-owned store operations decreased $24.8 million, or 22.1%, in the second quarter of 2023, and decreased $43.8 million, or 20.2%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 primarily due to a decrease in the average number of U.S. Company-owned stores open during the period resulting from the refranchising of 114 U.S. Company-owned stores in Arizona and Utah in the fourth quarter of 2022 to certain of our U.S. franchisees (the “2022 Store Sale”). This decrease was partially offset by higher same store sales, and, to a lesser extent in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, our purchase of 23 U.S. franchise stores in Michigan in the first quarter of 2022.

U.S. Company-owned same store sales increased 5.5% in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 6.4% in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. U.S. Company-owned same store sales declined 9.2% in the second quarter of 2022 and declined 9.8% in the two fiscal quarters of 2022.

U.S. Franchise Royalties and Fees

Revenues from U.S. franchise royalties and fees increased $11.2 million, or 8.7%, in the second quarter of 2023, and increased $21.7 million, or 8.7%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 primarily due to an increase in fees paid by our franchisees for the use of our technology platforms and an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period resulting from net store growth and the 2022 Store Sale. Revenues from U.S. franchise royalties and fees were also benefited by higher same store sales in the two fiscal quarters of 2023.

U.S. franchise same store sales declined 0.1% and increased 1.6% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023, respectively. U.S. franchise same store sales declined 2.5% and 2.9% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively.

U.S. Franchise Advertising

Revenues from U.S. franchise advertising increased $0.4 million, or 0.3%, in the second quarter of 2023, and increased $6.5 million, or 3.0%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due to an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period resulting from net store growth and the 2022 Store Sale. Revenues from U.S. franchise advertising also benefited from higher same store sales in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of 0.25% to the standard 6.0% advertising contribution which was effectuated at the beginning of the second quarter of 2023.

Supply Chain

Supply chain revenues decreased $30.9 million, or 4.8%, in the second quarter of 2023 due to lower order volumes at our U.S. franchised stores as well as a decrease in our market basket pricing to stores of 2.4% in the second quarter of 2023, which resulted in an estimated $13.4 million decrease in supply chain revenues. Supply chain revenues decreased $16.2 million, or 1.3%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due primarily to lower order volumes at our U.S. franchised stores, but this decrease was partially offset by an increase in our market basket pricing to stores. Our market basket pricing to stores increased 1.1% during the two fiscal quarters of 2023 which resulted in an estimated $11.7 million increase in supply chain revenues. The market basket pricing change, a statistical measure utilized by management, is calculated as the percentage change of the market basket purchased by an average U.S. store (based on average weekly unit sales) from our U.S. supply chain centers against the comparable period of the prior year. We believe this measure is important to understanding Company performance because as our market basket prices fluctuate, our revenues, cost of sales and gross margin percentages in our supply chain segment also fluctuate.

International Franchise Royalties and Fee Revenues

Revenues from international franchise royalties and fees increased $3.6 million, or 5.4%, in the second quarter of 2023, and increased $4.4 million, or 3.3%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due primarily to same store sales growth (excluding foreign currency impact) and an increase in the average number of international franchised stores open during the period, resulting from net store growth. The negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 and $6.3 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 partially offset the increases in international franchise royalties and fees revenues. The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues, a statistical measure utilized by management, is calculated as the difference in international franchise royalty revenues resulting from translating current year local currency results to U.S. dollars at current year exchange rates as compared to prior year exchange rates. We believe this measure is important to understanding Company performance given the significant variability in international franchise royalty revenues that can be driven by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, international franchise same store sales increased 3.6% in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 2.3% in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, international franchise same store sales declined 2.2% and 0.5% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively.

Cost of Sales / Gross Margin

	Second Quarter of 2023				Second Quarter of 2022				Two Fiscal Quarters of 2023				Two Fiscal Quarters of 2022
Total revenues	$	1,024.6	100.0	%	$	1,065.2	100.0	%	$	2,049.0	100.0	%	$	2,076.3	100.0	%

Gross margin	$	404.7	39.5	%	$	386.3	36.3	%	$	790.2	38.6	%	$	754.9	36.4	%

Consolidated cost of sales consists of U.S. Company-owned store and supply chain costs incurred to generate related revenues. Components of consolidated cost of sales primarily include food, labor, delivery and occupancy costs. Consolidated gross margin (which we define as revenues less cost of sales) increased $18.4 million, or 4.8%, in the second quarter of 2023, and increased $35.3 million, or 4.7%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due primarily to higher global franchise revenues. Franchise revenues do not have a cost of sales component, so changes in these revenues have a disproportionate effect on gross margin. Additionally, as our market basket prices fluctuate, our revenues and gross margin percentages in our supply chain segment also fluctuate; however, actual product-level dollar margins remain unchanged.

As a percentage of revenues, the consolidated gross margin increased 3.2 percentage points in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 2.2 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. U.S. Company-owned store gross margin increased 2.2 percentage points in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 1.5 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. Supply chain gross margin increased 1.4 percentage points in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 0.7 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. These changes in gross margin are described in more detail below.

U.S. Company-Owned Store Gross Margin

	Second Quarter of 2023				Second Quarter of 2022				Two Fiscal Quarters of 2023				Two Fiscal Quarters of 2022
Revenues	$	87.7	100.0	%	$	112.5	100.0	%	$	172.6	100.0	%	$	216.4	100.0	%

Store gross margin	$	16.3	18.6	%	$	18.4	16.4	%	$	30.6	17.7	%	$	35.0	16.2	%

U.S. Company-owned store gross margin (which does not include certain store-level costs such as royalties and advertising) decreased $2.1 million, or 11.7%, in the second quarter of 2023 and decreased $4.4 million, or 12.4%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due primarily to the 2022 Store Sale. As a percentage of store revenues, the U.S. Company-owned store gross margin increased 2.2 percentage points in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 1.5 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. These changes in gross margin as a percentage of revenues are discussed in additional detail below.

•Food costs decreased 2.9 percentage points to 28.7% in the second quarter of 2023, and decreased 2.3 percentage points to 29.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 driven primarily by higher same store sales as a result of increases in menu and national offer pricing and improved sales leverage, as well as the impact of the 2022 Store Sale due to higher average food costs in the markets in which the sold stores operated. The decrease in the market basket pricing to stores also contributed to the improvement in food cost as a percentage of U.S. Company-owned store revenues in the second quarter of 2023, while the increase in the market basket pricing to stores partially offset the decrease in food cost as a percentage of U.S. Company-owned store revenues in the two fiscal quarters of 2023.

•Labor costs increased 1.7 percentage points to 30.7% in the second quarter of 2023 and increased 1.1 percentage points to 31.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due primarily to higher wage rates in our U.S. Company-owned stores in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023.

Supply Chain Gross Margin

Supply chain gross margin	$	67.2	10.9	%	$	61.7	9.5	%	$	123.1	9.9	%	$	116.1	9.2	%

Supply chain gross margin increased $5.5 million, or 8.8%, in the second quarter of 2023, and increased $7.0 million, or 6.0%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. As a percentage of supply chain revenues, the supply chain gross margin increased 1.4 percentage points in the second quarter of 2023 due primarily to lower food costs as a percentage of supply chain revenues, as well as procurement productivity. As a percentage of supply chain revenues, the supply chain gross margin increased 0.7 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due primarily to procurement productivity but was partially offset by higher food cost as a percentage of supply chain revenues. The improvements in supply chain gross margin as a percentage of supply chain revenues were partially offset in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023 by higher labor costs.

20

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, or 0.7%, in the second quarter of 2023, driven primarily by higher labor costs. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 0.8%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, driven primarily by lower professional fees and travel costs, partially offset by higher labor costs.

U.S. Franchise Advertising Expenses

U.S. franchise advertising expenses increased $0.4 million, or 0.3%, in the second quarter of 2023, and increased $6.5 million, or 3.0%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 consistent with the increase in U.S. franchise advertising revenues. U.S. franchise advertising costs are accrued and expensed when the related U.S. franchise advertising revenues are recognized, as our consolidated not-for-profit advertising fund is obligated to expend such revenues on advertising and other activities that promote the Domino’s brand, and these revenues cannot be used for general corporate purposes.

Other Expense

During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded a $15.0 million unrealized loss on our investment in DPC Dash (Note 5) based on the active exchange quoted price for the equity security. We did not record any adjustments to the carrying amount in the first quarter of 2023 or two fiscal quarters of 2022.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net decreased $2.2 million, or 5.0%, in the second quarter of 2023, and decreased $4.9 million, or 5.4%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 each driven by higher interest income on our cash equivalents.

Our weighted average borrowing rate was 3.8% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023 and 2022.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes decreased $2.3 million, or 7.5%, in the second quarter of 2023 due to a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher income before provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 20.8% during the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 23.2% in the second quarter of 2022, driven in part by higher foreign tax credits and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction. Provision for income taxes decreased $0.5 million, or 0.9%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due to a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher income before provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 21.1% during the two fiscal quarters of 2023 as compared to 23.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, driven in part by higher foreign tax credits and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction.

21

Segment Income

We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments and allocate resources to them based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other, referred to as Segment Income. Segment Income for each of our reportable segments is summarized in the table below. Other Segment Income primarily includes corporate administrative costs that are not allocable to a reportable segment, including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs.

In the first quarter of 2023, we changed our allocation methodology for certain costs which support certain internally developed software used across our franchise system. The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs resulted in an estimated increase in U.S. stores Segment Income of $15.8 million, an estimated increase in international franchise Segment Income of $1.9 million and an estimated decrease in other Segment Income of $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs resulted in an estimated increase in U.S. stores Segment Income of $25.9 million, an estimated increase in international franchise Segment Income of $3.8 million and an estimated decrease in other Segment Income of $29.7 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2023.

	Second Quarter of 2023			Second Quarter of 2022			Two Fiscal Quarters of 2023			Two Fiscal Quarters of 2022
U.S. stores	$	123.6		$	104.1		$	236.3		$	201.3

U.S. Stores

U.S. stores Segment Income increased $19.5 million, or 18.8%, in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to the change in allocation methodology for certain software development costs, as well as higher U.S. franchise royalties and fees revenues, each as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by the $2.1 million decrease in U.S. Company-owned store gross margin, as discussed above. U.S. stores Segment Income increased $34.9 million, or 17.3%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, primarily due to the change in allocation methodology for certain software development costs, as well as higher U.S. franchise royalties and fees revenues, each as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by the $4.4 million decrease in U.S. Company-owned store gross margin, as discussed above. U.S. franchise revenues do not have a cost of sales component, so changes in these revenues have a disproportionate effect on U.S. stores Segment Income. U.S. franchise advertising costs are accrued and expensed when the related U.S. franchise advertising revenues are recognized and had no impact on U.S. stores Segment Income.

Supply Chain

Supply chain Segment Income increased $6.4 million, or 11.9%, in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to the $5.5 million increase in supply chain gross margin described above. Supply chain Segment Income increased $8.6 million, or 8.6%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, primarily due to the $7.0 million increase in supply chain gross margin described above.

International Franchise

International franchise Segment Income increased $6.0 million, or 11.3%, in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher international franchise royalties and fees revenues as well as the change in allocation methodology for certain software development costs, each as discussed above. International franchise Segment Income increased $9.1 million, or 8.4%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, primarily due to higher international franchise royalties and fees revenues as well as the change in allocation methodology for certain software development costs, each as discussed above. International franchise revenues do not have a cost of sales component, so changes in these revenues have a disproportionate effect on international franchise Segment Income.

Other

Other Segment Income decreased $13.2 million, or 235.6%, in the second quarter of 2023, and decreased $21.3 million, or 159.4%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 due primarily to the change in allocation methodology for certain software development costs as discussed above, as well as higher labor costs. These decreases were partially offset by lower professional fees and travel costs in the two fiscal quarters of 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our receivable collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on our current liabilities resulting in efficient deployment of working capital. We generally collect our receivables within three weeks from the date of the related sale and we generally experience multiple inventory turns per month. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal, which further limits variations in our working capital requirements. These factors allow us to manage our working capital and our ongoing cash flows from operations to invest in our business and other strategic opportunities, pay dividends and repurchase and retire shares of our common stock. As of June 18, 2023, we had working capital of $58.7 million, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents of $189.7 million, advertising fund assets, restricted, of $154.1 million and advertising fund liabilities of $150.4 million. Working capital includes total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $77.0 million.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings under our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes (as defined below). During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023, we experienced an increase in both U.S. and international same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) versus the comparable periods in the prior year. Additionally, both our U.S. and international businesses grew store counts during the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2023. These factors contributed to our continued ability to generate positive operating cash flows. In addition to our cash flows from operations, we have two variable funding note facilities. These facilities include our Series 2022-1 Variable Funding Senior Secured Notes, Class A-1 Notes (the “2022 Variable Funding Notes”), which allows for advances of up to $120.0 million, as well as our Series 2021-1 Variable Funding Senior Secured Notes, Class A-1 Notes (the “2021 Variable Funding Notes,” and, together with the 2022 Variable Funding Notes, the “2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes”), which allows for advances of up to $200.0 million and certain other credit instruments, including letters of credit. The letters of credit primarily relate to our casualty insurance programs. As of June 18, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings and $277.8 million of available borrowing capacity under our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes, net of letters of credit issued of $42.2 million.

We expect to continue to use our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, any excess cash from our recapitalization transactions and available borrowings under our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes to, among other things, fund working capital requirements, invest in our core business and other strategic opportunities, service our indebtedness, pay dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock.

Our ability to continue to fund these items and continue to service our debt could be adversely affected by the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Form 10-K. There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating performance and our ability to service, extend or refinance our outstanding senior notes and to service, extend or refinance our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

As of June 18, 2023, we had $138.5 million of restricted cash held for future principal and interest payments and other working capital requirements of our asset-backed securitization structure, $51.0 million of restricted cash held in a three-month interest reserve as required by the related debt agreements and $0.2 million of other restricted cash for a total of $189.7 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents. As of June 18, 2023, we also held $139.1 million of advertising fund restricted cash and cash equivalents, which can only be used for activities that promote the Domino’s brand.

Long-Term Debt

As of June 18, 2023, we had approximately $5.0 billion of long-term debt, of which $55.7 million was classified as a current liability. As of June 18, 2023, our fixed rate notes from the recapitalizations we completed in 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2015 had original scheduled principal payments of $25.8 million in the remainder of 2023, $51.5 million in 2024, $1.17 billion in 2025, $39.3 million in 2026, $1.31 billion in 2027, $811.5 million in 2028, $625.9 million in 2029, $10.0 million in 2030 and $905.0 million in 2031.

In accordance with our debt agreements, the payment of principal on the outstanding senior notes may be suspended if our leverage ratio is less than or equal to 5.0x total debt to adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the related agreements, and no catch-up provisions are applicable.

The notes are subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants, including a debt service coverage ratio calculation. The covenant requires a minimum coverage ratio of 1.75x total debt service to securitized net cash flow, as defined in the related agreements. In the event that certain covenants are not met, the notes may become due and payable on an accelerated schedule.

Share Repurchase Programs

Our share repurchase programs have historically been funded by excess operating cash flows, excess proceeds from our recapitalization transactions and borrowings under our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes. On July 20, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our common stock.

During the second quarter of 2023, we repurchased and retired 292,030 shares of our common stock under our Board of Directors-approved share repurchase program for a total of approximately $90.8 million. During the two fiscal quarters of 2023, we repurchased and retired 392,545 shares of our common stock under our Board of Directors-approved share repurchase program for a total of approximately $120.8 million As of June 18, 2023, we had a total remaining authorized amount for share repurchases of approximately $289.5 million.

Dividends

On April 25, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a $1.21 per share quarterly dividend on our outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of June 15, 2023, which was paid on June 30, 2023. We had approximately $43.6 million accrued for common stock dividends at June 18, 2023. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on July 20, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a $1.21 per share quarterly dividend on our outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of September 15, 2023, to be paid on September 29, 2023.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table illustrates the main components of our cash flows:

	Two Fiscal Quarters of 2023			Two Fiscal Quarters of 2022
Cash flows provided by (used in)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	242.3		$	153.4
Net cash used in investing activities		(39.2	)		(39.9	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(193.0	)		(166.7	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		0.5			(0.6	)
Change in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents	$	10.6		$	(53.9	)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $88.9 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, primarily due to the positive impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $69.2 million. The positive impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily related to the timing of payments on accrued liabilities and inventory as well as changes in inventory pricing and the timing of receipts on accounts receivable in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 as compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2022. Additionally, net income increased $20.7 million and non-cash adjustments increased $4.7 million, resulting in an overall increase to cash provided by operating activities in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 as compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2022 of $25.4 million. These increases in cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by a $5.7 million negative impact of changes in advertising fund assets and liabilities, restricted, in the two fiscal quarters of 2023 as compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due to payments for advertising activities outpacing receipts for advertising contributions.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $39.2 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, which primarily consisted of $38.0 million of capital expenditures (driven primarily by investments in technological initiatives, supply chain centers and corporate store operations).

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $193.0 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, which included the repurchase of approximately $120.8 million in common stock under our Board of Directors-approved share repurchase program, dividend payments of $42.9 million, repayments of long-term debt and finance lease obligations of $27.2 million and tax payments for the vesting of restricted stock of $3.1 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.1 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2022 Form 10-K. The Company considers its most significant accounting policies and estimates to be long-lived assets, casualty insurance reserves and income taxes. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since January 1, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

We do not engage in speculative transactions, nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. In connection with the recapitalizations of our business, we have issued fixed rate notes and entered into our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes and, at June 18, 2023, we are exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings under our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes. As of June 18, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes.

Our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes bear interest at fluctuating interest rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), plus a spread adjustment. Accordingly, a rising interest rate environment could result in higher interest expense due on borrowings under our 2022 and 2021 Variable Funding Notes, in which event we may have difficulties making interest payments and funding our other fixed costs, and our available cash flow for general corporate requirements may be adversely affected.

Our fixed-rate debt exposes the Company to changes in market interest rates reflected in the fair value of the debt and to the risk that the Company may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at a higher rate.

We are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity prices. During the normal course of business, we purchase cheese and certain other food products that are affected by changes in commodity prices and, as a result, we are subject to volatility in our food costs. Severe increases in commodity prices or food costs, including as a result of inflation, could affect the global and U.S. economies and could also adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may periodically enter into financial instruments to manage this risk, although we have not done so historically. We do not engage in speculative transactions or hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. In instances when we use fixed pricing agreements with our suppliers, these agreements cover our physical commodity needs, are not net-settled and are accounted for as normal purchases.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have exposure to various foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for revenues generated by our operations outside the U.S., which can adversely impact our net income and cash flows. Approximately 6.9% of our total revenues in the second quarter of 2023, approximately 6.8% of our total revenues in the two fiscal quarters of 2023, approximately 6.3% of our total revenues in the second quarter of 2022 and approximately 6.5% of our total revenues in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 were derived from our international franchise segment, a majority of which were denominated in foreign currencies. We also operate dough manufacturing and distribution facilities in Canada, which generate revenues denominated in Canadian dollars. We do not enter into financial instruments to manage this foreign currency exchange risk. We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency rates for our international markets would have resulted in a negative impact on royalty revenues of approximately $12.4 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Russell J. Weiner, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Sandeep Reddy, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Weiner and Mr. Reddy concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the quarterly period ended June 18, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

26

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are a party to lawsuits, revenue agent reviews by taxing authorities and administrative proceedings in the ordinary course of business which include, without limitation, workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile and franchisee claims. We are also subject to suits related to employment practices.

While we may occasionally be party to large claims, including class action suits, we do not believe that any existing matters, individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

If any Committed Note Purchaser which shall have so failed to fund its Advance shall subsequently pay such amount, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amount prorata to repay any supplemental Advances made by the other Committed Note Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.03(b).

(c)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the date of any Borrowing that an applicable Investor in the related Investor Group will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Investor’s share of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group as part of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Investor has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider and/or the Master Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount, and shall, if such corresponding amount has not been made available by the Administrative Agent, make available to the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider and/or the Master Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount once such Investor has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that any Investor shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Investor and the Co-Issuers jointly and severally agree to repay (without duplication) to the Administrative Agent on the next Weekly Allocation Date such corresponding amount (in the case of the Co-Issuers, in accordance with the Priority of Payments), together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Master Issuer until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Co-Issuers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Investor, the Federal Funds Rate and without deduction by such Investor for any withholding Taxes. If such Investor shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Investor’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.06Swingline Commitment.

(a)On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Co-Issuers shall issue and shall cause the Trustee to authenticate the initial Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note, which the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Swingline Lender on the Series 2021-1 Closing Date; provided that, if such Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note is an Uncertificated Note, the Trustee shall instead register it as described in Section 4.01(f) of the Series 2021-1 Supplement. Such initial Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note shall be dated the Series 2021-1 Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the Swingline Lender or its nominee, or in such other name as the Swingline Lender may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the Swingline Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Initial Swingline Principal Amount, and (unless it is an Uncertificated Note) shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in this Section 2.06, agrees to make swingline loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” or a “Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans” or the “Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Swingline Loans”) to the Co-Issuers from time to time during the period commencing on the Series 2021-1 Closing Date and ending on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that the Swingline Lender shall have no obligation or right to make any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding would exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Advances hereunder, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) or (ii) the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount. Each such borrowing of a Swingline Loan will constitute a Subfacility Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note in an amount corresponding to such borrowing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2021-1 Supplement, the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note may be increased by borrowings of Swingline Loans or decreased by payments of principal thereon from time to time.

(b)Whenever the Co-Issuers desire that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans, they shall (or shall cause the Manager on their behalf to) give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in writing not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed borrowing date, specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term not later than the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date) and (iii) the

payment instructions for the proceeds of such borrowing (which shall be consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture and which proceeds shall be made available to the Master Issuer (on behalf of the Co-Issuers)). Such notice shall be in the form of a Swingline Advance Request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (a “Swingline Loan Request”), Promptly upon receipt of any Swingline Loan Request (but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such receipt), the Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Control Party, the Trustee and the Administrative Agent thereof in writing. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in a minimum amount equal to $100,000. Promptly upon receipt of any Swingline Loan Request (but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such receipt), the Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement) will inform the Swingline Lender whether or not, after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loan, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount. If the Administrative Agent confirms that the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loan, then not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the borrowing date specified in the Swingline Loan Request, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2021-1 Supplement, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Master Issuer (on behalf of the Co-Issuers) in accordance with the payment instructions set forth in such notice an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the requested Swingline Loan.

(c)The Co-Issuers hereby agree that each Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Co-Issuers pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall constitute the promise and obligation of the Co-Issuers jointly and severally to pay to the Swingline Lender the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(a), which amounts shall be due and payable (whether at maturity or by acceleration) as set forth in this Agreement and in the Indenture for the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount.

(d)In accordance with Section 2.03(a), the Co-Issuers agree to cause requests for Borrowings to be made at least one time per week if any Swingline Loans are outstanding in amounts at least sufficient to repay in full all Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of the applicable request. In accordance with Section 3.01(c), outstanding Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate.

(e)[Reserved].

(f)If, prior to the time Advances would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.06(d), an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Co-Issuer or Guarantor or if, for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, Advances may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.06(d), each Committed Note Purchaser shall, on the date such Advances were to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.06(d), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then-outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage, multiplied by (iii) the

aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that was to have been repaid with such Advances.

(g)Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Investor such Investor’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Investor its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Investor’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Investor’s prorata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Investor will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(h)Each applicable Investor’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.06(d) and each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.06(f) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Investor, Committed Note Purchaser or the Co-Issuers may have against the Swingline Lender, the Co-Issuers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Swingline Loan was made; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Co-Issuers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document by any Co-Issuer or any other Person or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(i)The Co-Issuers may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, effect a reduction in the Swingline Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Swingline Commitment. If requested by the Co-Issuers in writing and with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the Swingline Commitment.

(j)The Co-Issuers may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender (who shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee thereof in writing), at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of the prepayment, (y) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and (z) if the source of funds for such prepayment is not a Borrowing, there shall be no unreimbursed Servicing Advances or Manager Advances (or interest thereon) at such time. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the Co-Issuers shall make such prepayment directly to the Swingline Lender and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

Section 2.07L/C Commitment.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Provider (or its permitted assigns pursuant to Section 9.17), in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.09, agrees to provide standby letters of credit, including Interest Reserve Letters of Credit (each, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Co-Issuers on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Series 2021-1 Closing Date and ending on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date to be issued in accordance with Section 2.07(h) in such form as may be approved from time to time by the L/C Provider; provided that the L/C Provider shall have no obligation or right to provide any Letter of Credit on a requested issuance date if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount.

Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars, (y) have a face amount of at least $25,000 or, if less than $25,000, shall bear a reasonable administrative fee to be agreed upon by the Co-Issuers and the L/C Provider and (z) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Required Expiration Date”); provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods, each individually not to exceed one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the Required Expiration Date) unless the L/C Provider notifies the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least 30 calendar days prior to the then-applicable expiration date (or no later than the applicable notice date, if earlier, as specified in such Letter of Credit) that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed; provided, further, that any Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is later than the Required Expiration Date so long as either (x) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit has been fully cash collateralized by the Co-Issuers in accordance with Section 4.02(b) or 4.03 as of the Required Expiration Date or (y) other than with respect to Interest Reserve Letters of Credit, arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Provider in its sole and absolute discretion have been made with the L/C Provider (and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 4.04 such that such Letter of Credit shall cease to be deemed outstanding or to be deemed a “Letter of Credit” for purposes of this Agreement as of the Commitment Termination Date.

Additionally, each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall (1) name the Trustee, for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders or the Senior Subordinated Noteholders, as applicable, as the beneficiary thereof; (2) allow the Trustee or the Control Party on its behalf to submit a notice of drawing in respect of such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit whenever amounts would otherwise be required to be withdrawn from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, pursuant to the Indenture and (3) indicate by its terms that the proceeds in respect of drawings under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall be paid directly into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable.

The L/C Provider shall not at any time be obligated to (I) provide any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would violate, or cause any L/C Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (II) amend any Letter of Credit hereunder if (1) the L/C Provider would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (2) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Provider and the Co-Issuers when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, the Letters of Credit shall be governed by

and subject to ISP or the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as published in its most recent version by the International Chamber of Commerce on the date any Letter of Credit is issued.

(b)On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Co-Issuers shall issue and shall cause the Trustee to authenticate the initial Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note, which the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the L/C Provider on the Series 2021-1 Closing Date; provided that, if such Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note is an Uncertificated Note, the Trustee shall instead register it as described in Section 4.01(f) of the Series 2021-1 Supplement. Such initial Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note shall be dated the Series 2021-1 Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the L/C Provider or in such other name or nominee as the L/C Provider may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the L/C Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Initial Aggregate Undrawn L/C Face Amount, and (unless it is an Uncertificated Note) shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit after the Series 2021-1 Closing Date will constitute an Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note in an amount corresponding to the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of such Letter of Credit. All L/C Obligations (whether in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings) shall be deemed to be principal outstanding under the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and shall be deemed to be Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts for all purposes of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Related Documents other than, in the case of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts, for purposes of accrual of interest. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2021-1 Supplement, the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note shall be increased by issuances of Letters of Credit or decreased by expirations thereof or reimbursements of drawings thereunder or other circumstances resulting in the permanent reduction in any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts from time to time. The L/C Provider and the Co-Issuers agree to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee of any such decreases for which notice to the Administrative Agent is not otherwise provided hereunder.

(c)The Co-Issuers may (or shall cause the Manager on their behalf to) from time to time request that the L/C Provider provide a new Letter of Credit by delivering to the L/C Provider at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor (in the form required by the applicable L/C Issuing Bank as notified to the Co-Issuers by the L/C Provider), completed to the satisfaction of the L/C Provider, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the L/C Provider may request on behalf of the L/C Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the letters of credit set forth on Schedule IV hereto shall be deemed Letters of Credit provided and issued by the L/C Provider hereunder as of the Series 2021-1 Closing Date. Upon receipt of any completed Application, the L/C Provider will notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee in writing of the amount, the beneficiary and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall comply with Sections 2.07(a) and (i)) and, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2021-1 Supplement and upon receipt of written confirmation from the Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement) that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal

Amount would not exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount (provided that the L/C Provider shall be entitled to rely upon any written statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons of the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining whether the L/C Provider received such prior written confirmation from the Administrative Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit), the L/C Provider will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered in connection therewith to be processed in accordance with the L/C Issuing Bank’s customary procedures and shall promptly provide the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the L/C Provider be required to provide any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto, as provided in Section 2.07(a)) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the L/C Provider and the Co-Issuers. The L/C Provider shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Manager (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The L/C Provider shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Funding Agents, the Investors, the Control Party and the Trustee, written notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(d)The Co-Issuers shall jointly and severally pay ratably to the Committed Note Purchasers the L/C Quarterly Fees (as defined in the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter, the “L/C Quarterly Fees”) in accordance with the terms of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments.

(e)In addition, the Co-Issuers shall jointly and severally pay to or reimburse the L/C Provider for the account of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank the L/C Fronting Fees, if any, in accordance with the terms of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments.

(f)To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article II, the provisions of this Article II shall apply.

(g)The Co-Issuers may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, effect a reduction in the L/C Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the L/C Commitment. If requested by the Co-Issuers in writing and with the prior written consent of the L/C Provider and the Administrative Agent, the L/C Provider may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the L/C Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate Commitment Amount.

(h)The L/C Provider shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 2.07 with respect to providing any Letter of Credit hereunder by issuing such Letter of Credit itself or through an Affiliate, so long as the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test is satisfied with respect to such Affiliate and the issuance of such Letter of Credit. If the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test is not satisfied with respect to such Affiliate and the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the L/C Provider or a Person

selected by (at the expense of the L/C Provider) the Co-Issuers shall issue such Letter of Credit; provided that such Person and issuance of such Letter of Credit satisfies the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test (the L/C Provider (or such Affiliate of the L/C Provider) in its capacity as the issuer of such Letter of Credit or such other Person selected by the Co-Issuers being referred to as the “L/C Issuing Bank” with respect to such Letter of Credit). The “L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test” is a test that is satisfied with respect to a Person issuing a Letter of Credit if the Person is a U.S. commercial bank that has, at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (i) a short-term certificate of deposit rating of not less than “P-2” from Moody’s and “A-2” from S&P and (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less than “Baa2” from Moody’s or “BBB” from S&P or such other minimum long-term unsecured debt rating as may be reasonably required by the beneficiary of such proposed Letter of Credit.

(i)The L/C Provider and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing the Letter of Credit or (ii) any law applicable to the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, or any request or directive (which request or directive, in the reasonable judgment of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, has the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall prohibit the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular.

(j)Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the Co-Issuers when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder.

Section 2.08L/C Reimbursement Obligations.

(a)For the purpose of reimbursing the payment of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the Co-Issuers jointly and severally agree to pay, as set forth in this Section 2.08, the L/C Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, within five Business Days after the day (subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments) on which the L/C Provider notifies the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent (and in each case the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day as its receipt of the same, notify the Funding Agents) of the date and the amount of such draft, an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the sum of (i) the amount of such draft so paid (the “L/C Reimbursement Amount”) and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses (including amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02(c), and collectively, the “L/C Other Reimbursement Costs”) incurred by the L/C Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor, in which cases the procedures specified in Section 2.09 for funding by Committed Note Purchasers shall apply) constitute a request by the Co-Issuers to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent for a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount equal to the applicable L/C Reimbursement Amount and the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have made such request pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The applicable Investors in each Investor Group hereby agree to make Advances in an aggregate amount for each Investor Group equal to such Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount to pay the L/C Provider. The Borrowing date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the first date on which a Base Rate Advance could be made pursuant to Section 2.03 if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such Borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the L/C Provider of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Borrowing date, and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the L/C Provider for application to the reimbursement of such drawing.

(b)The Co-Issuers’ obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Co-Issuers may have or have had against the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person; (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (iii) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or

successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of any jurisdictions, (v) any amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any or all of the Related Documents, (vi) the insolvency of any Person issuing any documents in connection with any Letter of Credit or (vii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.08(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Co-Issuer’s obligations hereunder. The Co-Issuers also agree that the L/C Provider and the L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Co-Issuers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Co-Issuers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Co-Issuers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the L/C Provider nor the L/C Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Co-Issuers to the extent permitted by applicable law) caused by errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Co-Issuers agree that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Co-Issuers and shall not result in any liability of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank to the Co-Issuers. As between the Co-Issuers and the L/C Issuing Bank, the Co-Issuers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such beneficiary’s or transferee’s use of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Co-Issuers agree with the L/C Issuing Bank that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(c)If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Provider shall promptly notify the Manager, the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank to the Co-Issuers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit and, in paying such draft, such L/C Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to

ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person(s) executing or delivering any such document.

(b)If any amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider pursuant to Section 2.09(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made or reimbursed by the L/C Provider under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Provider, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.09(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider by such Committed Note Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, the L/C Provider shall be entitled to recover from such Committed Note Purchaser, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Base Rate. A certificate of the L/C Provider submitted to any Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.09(b), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on such Committed Note Purchaser. Such amounts payable under this Section 2.09(b) shall be paid without any deduction for any withholding Taxes.

(c)Whenever, at any time after payment has been made under any Letter of Credit and the L/C Provider has received from any Committed Note Purchaser its prorata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.09(a), the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Co-Issuers or

otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the L/C Provider), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, will distribute to such Committed Note Purchaser its prorata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, such Committed Note Purchaser shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Provider the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, to it.

(d)Each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.08(a) and to pay its prorata share of any unreimbursed draft pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Committed Note Purchaser or the Co-Issuers may have against the L/C Provider, any L/C Issuing Bank, the Co-Issuers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Letter of Credit was issued; (iii) an adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Co-Issuers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document by any Co-Issuer or any other Person; (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit in compliance with this Agreement or with the terms of such Letter of Credit, as applicable; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

From time to time, each Co-Issuer or Guarantor shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such instruments, agreements, certificates or documents, and take all such actions, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Section 3.04(c), or of renewing, continuing, reaffirming or ratifying the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Investors with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral.

Section 3.05Increased Costs, etc.The Co-Issuers jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Investor and any Program Support Provider (each, an “Affected Person”, which term, for purposes of Sections 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09, shall also include the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuing Bank) for any increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital, in respect of funding or maintaining (or of its obligation to fund or maintain) any Advances that arise in connection with any Change in Law, except for any Change in Law with respect to increased capital costs and Taxes which shall be governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively (whether or not amounts are payable thereunder in respect thereof). Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount of return. Such additional amounts (“Increased

Costs”) shall be deposited into the Collection Account by the Co-Issuers within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice to be payable as Class A-1 Senior Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Co-Issuers under this Section 3.05, the Co-Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand if the relevant Affected Person knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions in the rate of return (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.06Funding Losses. In the event any Affected Person shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person to fund or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as a EurodollarSOFR Advance) as a result of:

(a)any conversion, repayment, prepayment or redemption (for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of any Mandatory Decrease or Voluntary Decrease, or the acceleration of the maturity of such EurodollarSOFR Advance) of the principal amount of any EurodollarSOFR Advance on a date other than the scheduled last day of the EurodollarSOFR Interest Accrual Period applicable thereto;

(b)any Advance not being funded or maintained as a EurodollarSOFR Advance after a request therefor has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein (for a reason other than the failure of such Affected Person to make an Advance after all conditions thereto have been met); or

(c)any failure of the Co-Issuers to make a Mandatory Decrease or a Voluntary Decrease, prepayment or redemption with respect to any EurodollarSOFR Advance after giving notice thereof pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Series 2021-1 Supplement; then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers, the Co-Issuers jointly and severally shall deposit into the Collection Account (within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice) to be payable as Class A-1 Senior Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay directly to such Affected Person such amount (“Breakage Amount” or “Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amount”) as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Co-Issuers under this Section 3.06, the Co-Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand if the relevant Affected Person knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers.

Section 3.07Increased Capital or Liquidity Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or under a Program Support Agreement or the Advances, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit made or issued by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person (or in the case of an L/C Issuing Bank, by the L/C Provider) to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers (or, in the case of the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, to the Co-Issuers), the Co-Issuers jointly and severally shall deposit into the Collection Account within five (5) Business Days of the Co-Issuers’ receipt of such notice, to be payable as Class A-1 Senior Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent (or, in the case of the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, directly to such Person) and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person, such amounts (“Increased Capital Costs”) as will be sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Co-Issuers under this Section 3.07, the Co-Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand if the relevant Affected Person knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the Change in Law (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions.

Section 3.08Taxes.

(a)Except as otherwise required by law, all payments by the Co-Issuers of principal of, and interest on, the Advances, the Swingline Loans and the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges in the nature of a tax imposed by any taxing authority including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, fees, duties, withholdings and other charges, and including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto, being called “Class A-1 Taxes”), but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (i) net income, franchise (imposed in lieu of net income) or similar Class A-1 Taxes (and including branch profits or alternative minimum Class A-1 Taxes) and any other Class A-1 Taxes imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Related Document), (ii) with respect to any

Affected Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state of the United States (“Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding Tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Co-Issuers with respect to withholding Tax, (iii) with respect to any Affected Person, any Class A-1 Taxes imposed under FATCA, (iv) any backup withholding Tax and (v) with respect to any Affected Person, any Class A-1 Taxes imposed as a result of such Affected Person’s failure to comply with Section 3.08(d) (such Class A-1 Taxes not excluded by clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Class A-1 Taxes are imposed and required by law to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Co-Issuers hereunder to an Affected Person, then, if such Class A-1 Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, (x) the amount of the payment shall be increased so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount equal to the sum that would have been received by the Affected Person had no such deduction or withholding been required and (y) the Co-Issuers shall withhold the amount of such Class A-1 Taxes from such payment (as increased, if applicable, pursuant to the preceding clause (x)) and shall pay such amount, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the taxing authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

(b)Moreover, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person from the Co-Issuers or otherwise in respect of any Related Document or the transactions contemplated therein, such Affected Person may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Co-Issuers will jointly and severally, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the related Funding Agent’s and Co-Issuers’ receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), deposit into the Collection Account, to be distributed as Class A-1 Senior Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Persons, such additional amounts (collectively, “Increased Tax Costs,” which term shall include all amounts payable by or on behalf of any Co-Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.08) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes on such Increased Tax Costs) shall equal the amount such Person would have retained had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been asserted. Any amount payable to an Affected Person under this Section 3.08 shall be reduced by, and Increased Tax Costs shall not include, the amount of incremental damages (including Class A-1 Taxes) due or payable by any Co-Issuer as a direct result of such Affected Person’s failure to demand from the Co-Issuers additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08 within 180 days from the date on which the related Non-Excluded Taxes were incurred.

(c)As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Class A-1 Taxes, and in any event within thirty (30) days of any such payment being due, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to each applicable Affected Person or its agents a certified copy of an official receipt (or other documentary evidence satisfactory to such Affected Person and agents) evidencing the payment of such Class A-1 Taxes.

(d)Each Affected Person, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable after the obsolescence or invalidity of any form or document previously delivered or within a reasonable period of time following a written request by the Co-Issuers), shall deliver to any Co-Issuer (or to more than one Co-Issuer, as the Co-Issuers may reasonably request) and the Administrative Agent a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-9, as applicable, or applicable successor form, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable, as will permit such Co-Issuer (or Co-Issuers) or the Administrative Agent, in their reasonable determination, to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from, or eligible for a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding Taxes including but not limited to, such information necessary to claim the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code and to determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Promptly following the receipt of a written request by the Co-Issuers or the Administrative Agent, each Affected Person shall deliver to any Co-Issuer (or to more than one Co-Issuer, as the Co-Issuers may reasonably request) and the Administrative Agent any other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Non-Excluded Taxes other than United States federal withholding Taxes. The Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent (or other withholding agent selected by the Co-Issuers) may rely on any form or document provided pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) until notified otherwise by the Affected Person that delivered such form or document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Affected Person shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a change in applicable law after the time the Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office).

(e)The Administrative Agent, Trustee, Paying Agent or any other withholding agent may deduct and withhold any Class A-1 Taxes required by any laws to be deducted and withheld from any payments pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Co-Issuers or the Administrative Agent or other withholding agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Class A-1 Taxes from payments made to or for the account of any Affected Person, then to the extent such improper withholding or backup withholding was directly caused by such Affected Person’s actions or inactions, such Affected Person shall indemnify the Co-Issuers, Trustee, Paying Agent and the Administrative Agent for any Class A-1 Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.08, and costs and expenses (including attorney costs) of the Co-Issuers, Trustee, Paying Agent and the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Affected Persons, severally, under this Section 3.08 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Affected Person or the termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(g)Prior to the Series 2021-1 Closing Date, the Administrative Agent will provide the Co-Issuers with a properly executed and completed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or W-9, as appropriate.

(h)If an Affected Person determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.08 or as to which it has been paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08, it shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers and the Manager in writing of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a written request from the Co-Issuers, pay over such refund to a Co-Issuer (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid to such Affected Person under this Section 3.08 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including the net amount of Taxes, if any, imposed on or with respect to such refund or payment) of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority that is directly attributable to such refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes); provided that the Co-Issuers, immediately upon the request of the Affected Person to any Co-Issuer (which request shall include a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount to be repaid) agrees to repay the amount of the refund (and any applicable interest) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such amount) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person or any other Person is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. This Section 3.08 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the Co-Issuers or any other Person.

Section 3.09Change of Lending Office. Each Committed Note Purchaser agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 3.05 or 3.07 or the payment of additional amounts under Sections 3.08(a) or (b), in each case with respect to an Affected Person in such Committed Note Purchaser’s Investor Group, it will, if requested by the Co-Issuers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Committed Note Purchaser) to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office for any Advances affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Committed Note Purchaser, cause such Committed Note Purchaser and its lending office(s) or the related Affected Person to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.09 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Co-Issuers or the rights of any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.07 and 3.08. If a Committed Note Purchaser notifies the Co-Issuers in writing that such Committed Note Purchaser will be unable to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office, the Co-Issuers may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Committed Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that, with respect to each such member of such Investor Group, will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a),(b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Co-Issuers (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series

2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise).

Section 3.10Reaffirmation.

The Co-Issuers and each Guarantor (including those that that become party hereto after the date hereof), in its respective capacity as a Co-Issuer, a Guarantor, debtor, obligor, grantor, pledgor, assignor, or other similar capacity in which such party acts as direct or indirect, or primary or secondary, obligor, accommodation party or guarantor or grants liens or security interests in or to its properties hereunder or under any other Related Document, hereby acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the provisions of Section 3.04 (including, without limitation, the implementation from time to time of any Benchmark Replacement and any Conforming Changes in accordance herewith) and, in furtherance of the forgoing (and without, in any way express or implied, invalidating, impairing or otherwise negatively affecting any obligations heretofore provided) hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with and after giving effect to any Conforming Changes: (i) its obligations shall not in any way be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired, and shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed and shall remain in full force in effect, (ii) its grant of a guarantee, pledge, assignment or any other accommodation, lien or security interests in or to its properties relating to this Agreement or any other Related Document shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed, and shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired and (iii) the Related Documents and its obligations thereunder (contingent or otherwise) shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed and shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired. In addition, the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor hereby fully waives any requirements to notify the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor, as applicable, of any Conforming Changes (except as expressly provided in Section 3.04). From time to time, each Co-Issuer and each Guarantor shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such instruments, agreements, certificates or documents, and take all such actions, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of Section 3.04, or of renewing, continuing, reaffirming or ratifying the rights of the Administrative Agent, and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Co-Issuer’s or Guarantor’s obligations or the Collateral.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE FUNDING AGENTS

Section 5.01Authorization and Action of the Administrative Agent. Each of the Lender Parties and the Funding Agents hereby designates and appoints Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., New York Branch, as the Administrative Agent hereunder, and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on their behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party or any Funding Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Administrative Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist for the Administrative Agent.

Each Committed Note Purchaser will notify the Co-Issuers in writing whether or not it will consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement and, if applicable, any condition to such consent, waiver or other modification. If a Committed Note Purchaser notifies the Co-Issuers in writing that such Committed Note Purchaser either (I) will not consent to an amendment to or waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or (II) conditions its consent to such an amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement upon the payment of an amendment fee, the Co-Issuers may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Committed Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group

by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A‑1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Co-Issuers (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2021-1 Class A‑1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise).

The Co-Issuers and the Lender Parties shall negotiate any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement or the other Related Documents that require the consent of the Lender Parties in good faith, and any consent required to be given by the Lender Parties shall not be unreasonably denied, conditioned or delayed.

Section 9.02No Waiver; Remedies. Any waiver, consent or approval given by any party hereto shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and no waiver by a party of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default. No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder, or any abandonment or discontinuation of steps to enforce the right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 9.03Binding on Successors and Assigns.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Co-Issuers, the Manager, the Lender Parties, the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Co-Issuers nor the Manager may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of each Lender Party (other than any Defaulting Investor); provided, further, that nothing herein shall prevent the Co-Issuers from assigning their rights (but none of their duties or liabilities) to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and the Series 2021-1 Supplement; and provided, further that none of the Lender Parties may transfer, pledge, assign, sell participations in or otherwise encumber its rights

or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein except as permitted under Section 6.03, Section 9.17 and this Section 9.03.

(c)In addition to its rights under Section 9.17, each Conduit Investor may at any time assign its rights in the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (and its rights hereunder and under the Related Documents) to its related Committed Note Purchaser or, subject to Section 6.03 and Section 9.17(f), its related Program Support Provider or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, each Conduit Investor may at any time grant a security interest in and lien on, all or any portion of its interests under this Agreement, its Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Note and all Related Documents to (i) its related Committed Note Purchaser, (ii) its Funding Agent, (iii) any Program Support Provider who, at any time now or in the future, provides program liquidity or credit enhancement, including, without limitation, an insurance policy for such Conduit Investor relating to the Commercial Paper or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes, (iv) any other Person who, at any time now or in the future, provides liquidity or credit enhancement for the Conduit Investors, including, without limitation, an insurance policy relating to the Commercial Paper or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or (v) any collateral trustee or collateral agent for any of the foregoing; provided, however, that any such security interest or lien shall be released upon assignment of its Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Note to its related Committed Note Purchaser. Each Committed Note Purchaser may assign its Commitment, or all or any portion of its interest under its Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Note, this Agreement and the Related Documents to any Person to the extent permitted by Section 9.17. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement, each Committed Note Purchaser may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Note and the Related Documents in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the F.R.S.

Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by the Co-Issuers, the Manager or a Lender Party in assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving a Conduit Investor. The obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors.

Section 9.17Assignment.

(a)Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), any Committed Note Purchaser may at any time sell all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Related Documents to which it is a party, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Co-Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider, to one or more financial institutions (an “Acquiring Committed Note Purchaser”) pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), executed by such Acquiring Committed Note Purchaser, such assigning Committed Note Purchaser, the Funding Agent with respect to such Committed Note Purchaser, the Co-Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Co-Issuers shall be required for an assignment to another Committed Note Purchaser or any Affiliate of a Committed Note Purchaser that has a rating equal to or higher than the assigning Committed Note Purchaser or if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b)Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), each Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor and its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Related Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such Conduit Investor, without the prior written consent of the Co-Issuers. Upon such assignment by a Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor, (ii) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Related Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties, in each case relating to the Commercial Paper and/or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Conduit Investor herein and in the

other Related Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under the Base Indenture or under any other Related Document with respect to such portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount and such Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, (v) all distributions in respect of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Funding Rate” with respect to the portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor, as applicable, funded or maintained with commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Funding Rate” applicable to such Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to Commercial Paper issued by or for the benefit of such Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Conduit Investor), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Funding Agent with respect to such Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by any Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Committed Note Purchasers in the same Investor Group as such Conduit Investor under Section 2.03 to fund any Increase not funded by such Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee.

(c)Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), any Conduit Investor and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) may at any time sell all or any part of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Related Documents to which it is a party, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Co-Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider, to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper is rated at least “A-1” from S&P and/or “P-1” from Moody’s, as applicable, and one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (an “Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Investor Group Supplement” or the “Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Acquiring Investor Group, the Funding Agent with respect to such Acquiring Investor Group (including the Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Investor Group), such assigning Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Conduit Investor, the Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Conduit Investor and Committed Note Purchasers, the Co-Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Co-Issuers shall be required for an assignment to another Committed Note Purchaser or any Affiliate of a Committed Note Purchaser and its related Conduit Investor or if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.17(c) is intended to permit and provide for (i) assignments from a Committed Note Purchaser to a Conduit Investor in a different Investor Group and (ii) assignments from a Conduit Investor to a Committed Note Purchaser in a different Investor group, and, in each of clause (i) and (ii), Exhibit C shall be revised to reflect such assignments.

(d)Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), the Swingline Lender may at any time assign all its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note, in whole but not in part, with the prior written consent of the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to a financial institution pursuant to an agreement with, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Issuers, whereupon the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder; provided that no consent of the Co-Issuers shall be required if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the prior written consent of each Funding Agent (other than any Funding Agent with respect to which all of the Committed Note Purchasers in such Funding Agent’s Investor Group are Defaulting Investors), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall be required if such financial institution is not a Committed Note Purchaser.

(e)Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), the L/C Provider may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note with the prior written consent of the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to a financial institution pursuant to an agreement with, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Issuers, whereupon the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent so assigned; provided that no consent of the Co-Issuers shall be required if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(f)Any assignment of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

Section 9.18Defaulting Investors. (a) The Co-Issuers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Defaulting Investor and the Administrative Agent, (i) require any Defaulting Investor to sell all of its rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Related Documents to which it is a party, to an assignee; provided that (x) such assignment is made in compliance with Section 9.17 and (y) such Defaulting Investor shall have received from such assignee an amount equal to such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder or (ii) remove any Defaulting Investor as an Investor by paying to such Defaulting Investor an amount equal to such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder.

(b)In the event that a Defaulting Investor desires to sell all or any portion of its rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Related Documents to which it is a party, to an unaffiliated third-party assignee for an amount less than 100% (or, if only a portion of such rights, obligations and commitments are proposed to be sold, such portion) of such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder, such Defaulting Investor shall promptly notify the Master Issuer of

the proposed sale (the “Sale Notice”). Each Sale Notice shall certify that such Defaulting Investor has received a firm offer from the prospective unaffiliated third party and shall contain the material terms of the proposed sale, including, without limitation, the purchase price of the proposed sale and the portion of such Defaulting Investor’s rights, obligations and commitments proposed to be sold. The Master Issuer and any of its Affiliates shall have an option for a period of three (3) Business Days from the date the Sale Notice is given to elect to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments at the same price and subject to the same material terms as described in the Sale Notice. The Master Issuer or any of its Affiliates may exercise such purchase option by notifying such Defaulting Investor before expiration of such three (3) Business Day period that it wishes to purchase all (but not a portion) of the rights, obligations and commitments of such Defaulting Investor proposed to be sold to such unaffiliated third party. If the Master Issuer or any of its Affiliates gives notice to such Defaulting Investor that it desires to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments, the Master Issuer or such Affiliate shall promptly pay the purchase price to such Defaulting Investor. If the Master Issuer or any of its Affiliates does not respond to any Sale Notice within such three (3) Business Day period, the Master Issuer and its Affiliates shall be deemed not to have exercised such purchase option.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Investor becomes a Defaulting Investor, then, until such time as such Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)Such Defaulting Investor’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.01.

(ii)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to the account of such Defaulting Investor (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied (and the Co-Issuers shall instruct the Trustee to apply such amounts) as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a prorata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; fourth, as the Co-Issuers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Issuers, to be held in a deposit account and released prorata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Investor’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of any future Undrawn L/C Face Amounts multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Investors, the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Investor, the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Co-Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction

obtained by the Co-Issuers against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Investor or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or any extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) owed to, all non-Defaulting Investors on a prorata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.09(a) owed to, such Defaulting Investor until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Investors prorata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 9.1 8(c)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Investor that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Investor or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 9.18(c)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Investor, and each Investor irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)All or any part of such Defaulting Investor’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Investors prorata based on their Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Investor’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Co-Issuers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the product of any non-Defaulting Investor’s related Investor Group Principal Amount multiplied by such non-Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage to exceed such non-Defaulting Investor’s Commitment Amount. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Investor arising from that Investor having become a Defaulting Investor, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Investor as a result of such non-Defaulting Investor’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(iv)If the reallocation described in clause (iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Co-Issuers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the amount that cannot be so reallocated.

(d)If the Co-Issuers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider agree in writing that an Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Investor will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Investors or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held prorata by the Investors in accordance with their respective Commitments (without giving effect to Section 9.1 8(c)(iii)), whereupon such Investor

will cease to be a Defaulting Investor; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers while that Investor was a Defaulting Investor; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Investor to Investor will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Investor’s having been a Defaulting Investor.

Section 9.19No Fiduciary Duties. Each of the Manager and the Securitization Entities acknowledge and agree that in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, or any other services the Lender Parties may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Lender Parties: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between any of the Manager, the Securitization Entities and any other person, on the one hand, and the Lender Parties, on the other, exists; (b) the Lender Parties are not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Manager or the Securitization Entities, and such relationship between any of the Manager or the Securitization Entities, on the one hand, and the Lender Parties, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Lender Parties may have to the Manager and any of the Securitization Entities shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; (d) the Lender Parties and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Manager or any of the Securitization Entities; and (e) the Manager and the Securitization Entities have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Manager and the Securitization Entities hereby waive any claims that Manager or the Securitization Entities may have against the Lender Parties with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes.

Section 9.20No Guarantee by the Manager. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Manager shall not be construed as a guarantee or other credit support by the Manager of the obligations of the Securitization Entities hereunder. The Manager shall not be liable in any respect for any obligation of the Securitization Entities hereunder or any violation by any Securitization Entity of its covenants, representations and warranties or other agreements and obligations hereunder.

Section 9.21Term; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the permanent reduction of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount to zero in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and payment in full of all monetary Obligations in respect of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes, (b) the payment in full of all monetary Obligations in respect of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes on or after the Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date (as may be extended from time to time) and (c) the termination of the Series Supplement pursuant to Section 5.9 thereof.

Section 9.22Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Related Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Related Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action or any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Related Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 9.23[Reserved]

Section 9.24USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), any Lender Party that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act may obtain, verify and record information that identifies individuals or entities that establish a relationship with such Lender Party, including the name, address, tax identification number and other information in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act that will allow it to identify the individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the account.

Segment Information

2. Segment Information

The following tables summarize revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other, which is the measure by which the Company allocates resources to its segments and which the Company refers to as Segment Income, for each of its reportable segments. Intersegment revenues are comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies from the supply chain segment to the Company-owned stores in the U.S. stores segment. Intersegment sales prices are market based. The “Other” column as it relates to Segment Income below primarily includes corporate administrative costs that are not allocable to a reportable segment, including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company changed its allocation methodology for certain costs which support certain internally developed software used across the Company’s franchise system. This allocation methodology change was implemented in order to reflect the way the chief operating decision maker allocates resources to the Company’s reportable segments and evaluates segment profitability, including the costs of internally developed software.

The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs resulted in an estimated increase in U.S. stores Segment Income of $15.8 million, an estimated increase in international franchise Segment Income of $1.9 million and an estimated decrease in other Segment Income of $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs resulted in an estimated increase in U.S. stores Segment Income of $25.9 million, an estimated increase in international franchise Segment Income of $3.8 million and an estimated decrease in other Segment Income of $29.7 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2023. The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs had no impact on revenues, supply chain Segment Income or total Segment Income. The change in allocation methodology for certain software development costs is a prospective change and the comparative information has not been restated.

The following table reconciles total Segment Income to consolidated income before provision for income taxes.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Fair Value of Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Fair Value of Investments

The Company holds a non-controlling interest in DPC Dash Ltd (“DPC Dash”), the Company’s master franchisee in China that owns and operates Domino’s Pizza stores in that market. Prior to March 28, 2023, the Company’s investment in DPC Dash’s senior ordinary shares, which were not in-substance common stock, represented an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and was recorded at cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices resulting from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer or impairments.

On March 28, 2023, DPC Dash completed its initial public offering on the Hong Kong Exchange (HK: 1405), at which point the Company’s 18,101,019 DPC Dash senior ordinary shares automatically converted to DPC Dash ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the investment. The Company is required to hold the DPC Dash ordinary shares for at least 360 days from the date of the initial public offering. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, the Company accounts for its investment in DPC Dash as a trading security and records it at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recorded in other income or expense in its condensed consolidated statements of income.

As of June 18, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s investment in DPC Dash is based on the active exchange quoted price for the equity security of HK$47.90 per share. The Company recorded an adjustment to the carrying amount of its investment in DPC Dash of $15.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, with the loss recorded in other expense in its condensed consolidated statements of income. As of January 1, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s investment in DPC Dash was not readily determinable and was categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company did not record any adjustments to the carrying amount of its investment in the first quarter of 2023 or the two fiscal quarters of 2022. The Company transferred its investment from Level 3 to Level 1 on March 28, 2023, concurrent with DPC Dash’s initial public offering.

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and fair values of certain assets at June 18, 2023 and January 1, 2023:

	At June 18, 2023

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed rate notes are classified as Level 2 measurements, as the Company estimates the fair value amount by using available market information. The Company obtained quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s fixed rate notes and, at times, trade these notes. The Company also performed its own internal analysis based on the information gathered from public markets, including information on notes that are similar to those of the Company. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to estimate fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debtholders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values stated below.

Management estimated the approximate fair values of the Company’s 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021 notes as follows:

	June 18, 2023				January 1, 2023
	Principal Amount		Fair Value		Principal Amount		Fair Value
2015 Ten-Year Notes	$	748,000	$	715,088	$	752,000	$	717,408

2018 7.5-Year Notes		405,875		384,770		408,000		385,968
2018 9.25-Year Notes		382,000		357,170		384,000		355,584

2021 Ten-Year Notes		980,000		803,600		985,000		792,925

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

. New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has considered all new accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and adopted the following accounting standards during the second quarter of 2023.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, updated by ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. On May 15, 2023, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries executed an amendment to the Company’s 2021 variable funding notes to affect the transition from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), plus a spread adjustment. In connection with this contract amendment, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04 (as updated by ASU 2022-06) in the second quarter of 2023. The amendment to the Company’s 2021 variable funding notes and the adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”), which clarifies and amends the guidance of measuring the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 also requires disclosure of the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions and the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. The Company’s investment in DPC Dash (Note 5) is subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the Company from selling the security for 360 days following DPC Dash’s initial public offering. The Company early adopted ASU 2022-03 in the second quarter of 2023 and the adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
