B. While the Guarantee was executed and delivered on March 15, 2022, the Guarantee was inadvertently dated as of March 15, 2021. C. On (i) May 27, 2022, the Borrowers entered into amendments and restatements of the Original Credit Agreements with each Lender under the Guarantee, and (ii) on the date hereof, the Borrowers entered into certain new credit agreements in the same form thereof with the remaining Lenders (such amendments and restatements, new credit agreements, and any new Bi-lateral Facilities entered into by the Borrowers or any affiliates thereof from time to time following the date hereof, each as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreements”, and each a “Credit Agreement”). D. The Guarantor is delivering this Amendment in connection with the new Credit Agreements and to confirm its guarantee obligations to any additional Bilateral Lender under future Credit Agreements. E. Except as expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Guarantee; NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto agree as follows:
