2.8 Increased Costs Generally.

(a) Illegality. If Lender determines that any change in applicable law shall make in unlawful or impossible for Lender to make, maintain or fund the Loan or any portion thereof whose interest is determined by reference to Term SOFR, Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, whereupon until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of Lender to fund or maintain the Loan based on Term SOFR shall be suspended, and the Loan (or any portion thereof) shall be made as, or converted to, a Loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin immediately if Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain the Loan at the SOFR-based rate applicable to such date.

(b) Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, the Lender; or

subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of the Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(c) Capital Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the commitment of the Lender or the Loans made by the Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Lender, to a level below that

- 14 -

which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of the Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(d) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than twelve months (12) prior to the date that the Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the twelve (12) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(f) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement.

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, this Loan Agreement shall be deemed amended to replace the then-current Benchmark with the Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Lender notifies the Borrower of such Benchmark Replacement; provided, however, that no replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.3.3 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(2) No Swap Transaction Document shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.3.3.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

- 15 -

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.3.3. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3.3, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.3.3.

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, or (C) a Prime Rate Transition Event has occurred, then the Lender may modify any concept or definition of “interest period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial B Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lender may modify the definition of “Applicable Interest Rate” and/or any concept or definition of “interest period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(g) Method of Calculation. All interest on the Loan, whether calculated using the Applicable Interest Rate, the Alternate Rate, or the Default Rate, will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual number of days elapsed, and dividing the product so obtained by 360.
