(2)if, and to the extent that, Administrative Agent determines that Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in accordance with clause (1) above, then the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate that Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion are substantially consistent with any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining Compounded SOFR for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;

(j)The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Section 1.09 of the Credit Agreement:

SECTION 1.09 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 5.02(d) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest with respect to the Revolving Facility. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower, pursuant to Section 5.02(f), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is based. However, Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 5.02(d), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 5.02(e)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.”

(k)Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

SECTION 5.02. Inability to Determine Interest Rate.
(a)If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans:
(i) Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or the LIBO Base Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that, solely with respect to the Revolving Facility, no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or
(ii) Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that they have determined in good faith that the LIBO Rate or the LIBO Base Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders through the Platform as provided in Section 13.02 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to



such notice no longer exist, (A) any subsequent Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be ineffective and any such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be repaid or converted (as determined by Borrower) into a Borrowing of ABR Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any subsequent Borrowing Request requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of ABR Loans.

(b) If any Lender (other than a Revolving Lender) determines in good faith that any change after the date hereof in any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender (other than a Revolving Lender) or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Borrowings of ABR Loans to Borrowings of LIBOR Loans will be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), either (at Borrower’s election) convert or prepay all Borrowings of LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Borrowings of ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Borrowings of LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion or prepayment, Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted or prepaid.

(c) Solely with respect to any Commitments and Loans (other than those provided under the Revolving Facility), if at any time Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then Administrative Agent and Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Base Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.04, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.02(c), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any subsequent Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be ineffective, and (y) if any subsequent Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, such Borrowing shall be made as Borrowing of ABR Loans; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Solely with respect to the Revolving Facility, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to



a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent with the written consent of Borrower has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Revolving Lenders comprising the Required Revolving Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Revolving Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Revolving Lenders comprising the Required Revolving Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Revolving Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(e) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement with respect to the Revolving Facility, Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to the Revolving Facility from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(f) Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or Revolving Lenders, as applicable, with the written consent of Borrower to the extent applicable, pursuant to this Section 5.02, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 5.02.

(g) Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Alternative Base Rate based upon LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of ABR.”

(l)Section 13.04(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “Section 5.02(c)” in the first sentence thereof with “Sections 5.02(c) and (d)”.

(m)Section 13.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by adding the following as a new clause (j) thereof:

“(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or to enter into additional Credit Documents as Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in accordance with the terms thereof.”




(n)Section 13.20 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“SECTION 13.20. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(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 Affected 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 Credit Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.”

(o)The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Section 13.21 of the Credit Agreement:

SECTION 13.21 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a
