For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark for any currency, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90^th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

(i) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(ii) no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist and be continuing at the time of any such increase;

(iii) no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to increase its Commitment and any such decision whether to increase its Commitment shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion;

(iv) (A) any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder documents required by the Administrative Agent and/or (B) any existing Lender electing to increase its Commitment shall have executed a commitment agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(v) as a condition precedent to such increase, WBA shall (x) deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the date of such increase signed by an Authorized Officer of WBA (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by WBA approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V are true and correct in all material

respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified with “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such increase, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified with “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date and (2) no Default or Unmatured Default exists immediately before or after giving effect to the incurrence of such increase and (y) pay any applicable fee related to such increase (including, without limitation, any applicable arrangement, upfront and/or administrative fee).

In connection with the effectiveness of any increase under this Section 2.01(b), (x) the Commitment Schedule shall be deemed amended to reflect such increase and the updated Commitments and Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders, (y) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify WBA and the Lenders of the updated Commitment Schedule and (z) to the extent necessary to keep any outstanding Loans (and any participations in Swing Line Loans) allocated ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their updated Pro Rata Shares, WBA shall (or shall cause the applicable Borrower to) prepay (or, if the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that a re-allocation of the Loans can be accomplished without any cash prepayments or new cash Loans by the Lenders, be deemed to have prepaid) any Loans owing by it (or such Borrower, as applicable) and outstanding on the date of any such increase (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04). The provisions of this Section 2.01(b) involving non-pro rata allocations, prepayments and Loans shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.19 or 8.02 to the contrary.

Section 2.02 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.02, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including the Effective Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date for the Revolving Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (a) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment at such time and (b) with respect to any Lender, such Xxxxxx’s Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Xxxxxx’s Commitment at such time. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, any Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.02, prepay under Section 2.07, and reborrow under this Section 2.02. Swing Line Loans shall be repaid by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.07(c). Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Swing Line Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon any Borrower’s written notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or such other form as may be approved by the Swing Line Lender (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Swing Line Lender), in each case appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the applicable Borrower (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”). Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (ii) the requested

borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Swing Line Loans shall bear interest based on the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate and be denominated in Dollars. In the event that the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent are not the same Person, promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Borrowing Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Borrowing Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will (i) after receipt of any Swing Line Borrowing Notice delivered on the date of the requested borrowing, by the later of 11:00 a.m. (New York time) and one (1) hour after delivery of such Swing Line Borrowing Notice, and (ii) after receipt of any other Swing Line Borrowing Notice, by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Borrowing Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the applicable Borrower.

The location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which proceeds of the Swing Line Loans are to be disbursed shall be set forth in written settlement instructions executed by two Authorized Officers of the applicable Borrower (neither of which shall hold the title of Vice President, Global Treasury) and the Swing Line Lender shall have confirmed such location and number of such Borrower’s account to which proceeds of a Swing Line Loan are to be disbursed orally by telephone. Any change to the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which proceeds of a Swing Line Loan are to be disbursed shall be set forth in written settlement instructions executed by two Authorized Officers of the applicable Borrower (neither of which shall hold the title of Vice President, Global Treasury) and the Swing Line Lender shall have confirmed such change to the location and number of such Borrower’s account to which proceeds of a Swing Line Loan are to be disbursed orally by telephone.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request in writing that each Lender with a Commitment fund its risk participation in any Swing Line Loan. Upon receipt of such request, each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the applicable Swing Line Loan specified in such written request available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such request. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(c) by the time specified in Section 2.02(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iii) Each Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default, (C) the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article IV, (D) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers, (E) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers or any Lender or (F) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.02 to pay such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The applicable Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 2.03 Extension of Maturity Date(a) . (a) WBA may extend the Maturity Date for additional periods of one or two years (in each case, a “Maturity Date Extension”), by providing written notice of such request to the Administrative Agent (the effective date of such Maturity Date Extension, the “Extension Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and each Lender shall then, in its sole discretion, notify WBA and the Administrative Agent in writing within 10 Business Days after such request whether such Lender will consent to the extension (each such Lender consenting to the extension, a “Consenting Lender”). The failure of any Lender to notify WBA and the Administrative Agent of its intent to consent to an extension within such period shall be deemed a rejection by such Lender. Such extension shall be effective as to Consenting Lenders if the Required Lenders approve such Maturity Date Extension; provided, in each case, that (A) the applicable Maturity Date following any such extension shall not be a date that is more than three years after the applicable Extension Date and (B) at the existing Maturity Date in effect prior to each Maturity Date Extension, (1) the

commitments of Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Swing Line Lender) that did not consent to such Maturity Date Extension (each such Lender not consenting to the extension, a “Declining Lender”) will be terminated and the Loans of such Lenders (or participations in any Swing Line Loans) (it being understood that the commitments of the Declining Lenders not consenting to such extension will remain in effect until the Maturity Date originally applicable to such Lenders) and (2) the applicable Borrower shall make such additional prepayments as shall be necessary in order that the Loans hereunder immediately after such existing Maturity Date will not exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

(b) The consent of Declining Lenders will not be required; provided that Consenting Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have approved such Maturity Date Extension; provided that WBA shall have the right, at any time prior to the existing Maturity Date to obtain the signatures of the Required Lenders by replacing Declining Lenders with Consenting Lenders willing (in their sole discretion) to increase their existing commitments (each such Lender, an “Existing Extending Lender”), or other financial institutions willing (in their sole discretion) to become Lenders and extend new commitments, on terms consistent with Section 2.18 (each such Lender, a “New Extending Lender”), in each case on the existing Maturity Date. If any Lender rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, WBA’s request for an extension, WBA may replace Declining Lenders with Existing Extending Lenders or New Extending Lenders, in each case on the existing Maturity Date. In connection with any such replacement pursuant to this clause (b), the Administrative Agent shall enter in the Register (A) the names of any New Extending Lenders, (B) the Maturity Date applicable to each Lender and (C) the respective allocations of any Declining Lenders, Consenting Lenders, Existing Extending Lenders and New Extending Lenders effective as of the applicable Maturity Date applicable thereto. No action by or consent of any Declining Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment. In connection with any such assignment, WBA, Administrative Agent, such Declining Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 12.01; provided that if such Declining Lender does not comply with Section 12.01 within five (5) Business Days after WBA’s request, compliance with Section 12.01 (but only on the part of the Declining Lender) shall not be required to effect such assignment.

(c) If any financial institution or other entity becomes a New Extending Lender or any Existing Extending Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.03(b), (x) Loans (or, if applicable, participations in Swing Line Loans) made on or after the existing Maturity Date shall be made in accordance with Section 2.01(a) or (b) or Section 2.02(a), as applicable, based on the respective Commitments in effect on and after such existing Maturity Date, (y) if, on the date of such joinder or increase, there are any Loans outstanding, such Loans shall on or prior to such date be prepaid from the proceeds of new Loans made hereunder (reflecting such additional Lender or increase), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the applicable Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any applicable Lender in accordance with Section 3.04 and (z) if, on the date of such joinder or increase, there are any Swing Line Loans outstanding, each Lender’s participation in any such outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated according to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share (giving effect to such additional Lender or increase).

(d) Each such Maturity Date Extension will not be effective as to any Lender unless (a) no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing on or as of the date of such extension and (b) all representations and warranties of WBA set forth in Article V shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified by “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as if made on and as of the date of such extension, except to the extent a representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case the representation or

warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified with “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as such earlier date.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of each extension pursuant to this Section 2.03.

Section 2.04 Types of Loans. The Loans may consist of any Type, or a combination thereof, selected by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.08 and 2.09.

Section 2.05 Fees; Reductions in Aggregate Commitment.

(a) Commitment Fee. WBA agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee in Dollars (the “Commitment Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily actual excess of such Lender’s Commitment over the outstanding principal Dollar Equivalent of such Lender’s outstanding Loans (such excess, such Xxxxxx’s “Actual Unused Commitments”) as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.05(c) or (d), accruing from and including the Effective Date to and including the date on which the Commitments have been terminated in full and all Obligations have been paid in full pursuant to Section 2.07(c), payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date; provided that with respect to calculation of the Commitment Fee under the Revolving Facility, any outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not constitute outstanding Loans hereunder; provided, further, that no Commitment Fee shall accrue hereunder with respect to the Actual Unused Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Fee Letter. WBA shall pay to (i) the Arrangers (if applicable) and the Administrative Agent, for their respective accounts, fees in the amount and at the time specified in the Fee Letter and (ii) the Administrative Agent, for the account of each of the Lenders as of the Effective Date, the fee in the amount and at the time specified in the applicable Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be non-refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(c) Voluntary Reductions in Aggregate Commitment. WBA shall have the right, upon same day written notice to the Administrative Agent delivered prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, to terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Commitments of the Lenders at the election of WBA. Each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and, once terminated, a Commitment may not be reinstated; provided that (i) WBA shall not be permitted to terminate in whole or reduce in part the Commitments to the extent that, after giving effect to such termination, the then outstanding Dollar Equivalent of Loans would exceed the Aggregate Commitment and (ii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, such Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Commitments under this Section 2.05(c). Each voluntary reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) will be applied to the outstanding Commitments of each Lender specified by the applicable Borrower in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Revolving Facility. All fees in respect of the Commitments (including any Commitment Fees) accrued until the effective date of any termination of such Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. .

(d) Non-Ratable Reductions of Commitments. On and after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, WBA may terminate the Commitment of any Lender (any such Lender, a “Terminated Lender”) in full without terminating or reducing the Commitment of any other Lender; provided, that, at the time of termination, (i) WBA has an Index Debt Rating from Xxxxx’x of Baa3 (or higher) or from S&P of BBB- (or higher), (ii) there shall be no outstanding Borrowings, (iii) after giving effect to such termination, the aggregate Commitments shall not be less than $2,000,000,000 (as such amount may be proportionally reduced to reflect any voluntary ratable reduction of Commitments after the date hereof pursuant to Section 2.05(c), (iv) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (v) the Terminated Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (including any amounts with respect to participations in Swing Line Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.04) from WBA. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, WBA may incur new Commitments from any existing or new Lender to replace the Terminated Lender Commitments (any such new Commitments, “Replacement Commitments”); provided, that (i) after replacing any such Terminated Lender Commitments, the aggregate Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate commitments immediately prior to the termination of Commitments of such Terminated Lender and (ii) the provisions of Section 2.01(b) shall apply to any such replacement Commitment(s) obtained (provided that any Replacement Commitments effected pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) shall not count against the maximum amount limitation in the opening paragraph of Section 2.01(b)). WBA shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Terminated Lender of any proposed Commitment termination under this Section 2.05(d) with written notice delivered on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) one Business Day prior to the date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Commitments of a Terminated Lender under this Section 2.05(d) promptly following the occurrence thereof.

(e) Automatic Reductions in Commitments. The Aggregate Commitment shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If the Administrative Agent notifies WBA, at any time, that the Dollar Equivalent with respect to Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency plus the then outstanding amount of Loans denominated in Dollars, exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, then WBA shall (or shall cause any Designated Borrower to) within five business days, prepay such Loans or take such other action, in each case, to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess.

If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Borrowing Notice requesting a Loan, then the Loan so requested shall be made in Dollars.

No more than ten (10) Interest Periods shall be in effect at any time (unless such limit has been waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

Section 2.09 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Loans. Alternate Base Rate Loans shall continue as Alternate Base Rate Loans unless and until such Alternate Base Rate Loans are converted into SOFR Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09 or are prepaid or repaid in accordance with Section 2.07. Swing Line Loans shall continue bearing interest based on the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate until such Swing Line Loans are prepaid or repaid in accordance with Section 2.07 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Swing Line Loans may not be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans or Term Rate Loans). Each Term Rate Loan (for the purposes of this Section 2.09, in each case, other than a Swing Line Loan) shall continue as a Term Rate Loan until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Term Rate Loan shall be continued as a Term Rate Loan in its original currency with the shortest Interest Period available at such time for such Term Rate Loan, unless (x) such Term Rate Loan is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.07 or (y) the applicable Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Term Rate Loan continue as a Term Rate Loan for the same or another Interest Period. Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Alternate Base Rate Loan into a SOFR Rate Loan. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency, in each case other than as expressly provided for under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.09 (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any Default has occurred and is continuing each Term Rate Loan shall be continued as a Loan in its original currency with an Interest Period not longer than one month. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit E or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), in each case appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the applicable Borrower (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Alternate Base Rate Loan into a SOFR Rate Loan or a continuation of a Term Rate Loan, with each such Conversion/Continuation Notice to be received not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least two (2) Business Days, in the case of any Loans denominated in Dollars, and at least three (3) Business Days, in the case of any Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(a) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,

(b) the aggregate amount, Type and currency of the Loan which is to be converted or continued, and

Section 2.10 Interest Rates.

(a) Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Swing Line Loan is made, to but excluding the date it is paid at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Loan denominated in Dollars that is not a Swing Line Loan shall bear interest, at a Borrower’s option, at:

(i) a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made or is converted from a SOFR Rate Loan into an Alternate Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a SOFR Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Loan maintained as an Alternate Base Rate Loan will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate;

(ii) a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the first day of the one week Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period;

(iii) a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin. Term SOFR Rate Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period.

(c) Each Loan denominated in Euros shall bear interest a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for Loans denominated in Euros for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin and such Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period.

(d) Each Loan denominated in Sterling shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Daily Simple Foreign RFR Rate for Loans denominated in Sterling plus the Applicable Margin and such Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made, to but excluding the date it is paid.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Each Loan denominated in Yen shall bear interest a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for Yen denominated Loans for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin. Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Yen shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period.

Section 2.11 Rates Applicable After Default. During the continuance of a Default under Section 7.02 the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to WBA and the applicable Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.02 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates, and which election

and notice shall not be required after a Default or Unmatured Default under Section 7.05 or 7.06), declare that interest on the overdue amount of the Loans shall be payable at a rate (after as well as before the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws) equal to 2% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise payable thereon (and, with respect to any other overdue Obligations, shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum) commencing on the date of such Default and continuing until such Default is cured or waived. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be payable on demand.

Section 2.12 Method of Payment. Except as otherwise specified herein, all payments by each Borrower of principal, interest and its other Obligations shall be made, (i) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars and the Aggregate Commitment, in Dollars, and (ii) with respect to Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency, in the applicable Foreign Currency in which such Loans are denominated. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower, by 2:00 p.m. (New York time), in the case of any payments made in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time, in the case of any payments made in a Foreign Currency, in each case, on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders entitled thereto. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at such Xxxxxx’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.

Section 2.13 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness(a) . (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. In addition, each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Swing Line Loans.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (A) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (C) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and the parties thereto pursuant to Section 12.01, (D) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each applicable Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof, and (E) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and interest. The Administrative Agent shall also maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by each Lender of participations in Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control absent manifest error.

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

(d) Any Lender may request that the Loans made or to be made by it be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of (i) with respect to Revolving Loans, Exhibit C-1 (each, a “Revolving Note”) and (ii) with respect to Swing Line Loans, Exhibit C-2 (each, a “Swing Line Note”). In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note or Notes payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by each such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.01) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.01, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

Section 2.14 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.

(a) Alternate Base Rate Loans. Interest accrued on each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Borrowing Date with respect to such Alternate Base Rate Loan, and on any date on which the Alternate Base Rate Loan, is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and on the Facility Termination Date.

(b) Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans. Interest accrued on each Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan (including any Swing Line Loan) shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period and on any date on which such Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan is prepaid (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan, repaid), whether by acceleration or otherwise (including due to Section 2.07(c)(ii) in the case of a Swing Line Loan), and on the Facility Termination Date.

(c) Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loans. Interest accrued on each Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Borrowing Date with respect to such Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan, and on any date on which the Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan, is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and on the Facility Termination Date.

(d) Term Rate Loans. Interest accrued on each Term Rate Loan (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, a Swing Line Loan) shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period and on any date on which such Term Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and on the Facility Termination Date. Interest accrued on each Term Rate Loan having an Interest Period longer than three (3) months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period.

(e) Interest and Fee Basis. With respect to (a) interest on all Loans (other than Alternate Base Rate Loans where the interest is based on the Alternate Base Rate), Commitment Fees and other fees hereunder, such interest or fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year (except that interest on Loans denominated in any Foreign Currency as to which market practice differs from the foregoing shall be computed in accordance with market practice for such Loans) and (b) interest on Loans which are Alternate Base Rate Loans where the interest is based on the Alternate Base Rate, such interest shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time), in the case of a Loan denominated in Dollars or (y) the Applicable Time, in the case of a Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, in each case, at the place of

payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan, any fees or any other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment.

Section 2.15 Notification of Loans, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions; Availability of Loans. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, notice of a reduction of the Swing Line Sublimit and prepayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each such Lender and each Borrower prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars (other than Swing Line Loans, which will instead be subject to Section 2.02(b)), and not later than the Applicable Time, in the case of any Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, in each case, on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency; provided that if any Lender has not complied with its funding obligation by such time, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify WBA of such Xxxxxx. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the applicable Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender has failed to meet its funding obligation, in which case the Administrative Agent will make the funds actually received so available to the applicable Borrower).

Section 2.16 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and WBA in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

Section 2.17 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback(a) . (a) (i) Funding by Xxxxxxx; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Loans (or, in the case of any Alternate Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing of such Loans) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.15 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the

same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the applicable Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Loan. Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the applicable Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

(iii) Erroneous Payments. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by WBA (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the applicable Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.06(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.06(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.06(c).

Section 2.18 Replacement of Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.02, or if any Lender gives notice to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.03, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.05, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if a Lender fails to consent

to an amendment or waiver approved by the Required Lenders as to any matter for which such Lender’s consent is needed, or if any Lender is a Declining Lender under Section 2.03, or if any Lender is a Protesting Lender under Section 2.21(b), then WBA may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.01), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) WBA shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 12.01(b)(iv);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (including any amounts with respect to participations in Swing Line Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.04) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or WBA (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.05, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws;

(e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a failure to consent to an amendment or waiver approved by the Required Lenders, such assignee shall have consented to the relevant amendment or waiver;

(f) in the case of any such assignment by a Declining Lender, such assignee shall have consented to the applicable Maturity Date Extension and shall, for all purposes, constitute a Consenting Lender; and

(g) in the case of any such assignment by a Protesting Lender, such assignee shall have consented to making Loans to the applicable Designated Foreign Borrower.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling WBA to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.19 Sharing of Payments by Xxxxxxx. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it or the participations in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Revolving Facility to which it is entitled pursuant hereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the

Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(a) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to WBA or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower for itself and solely with respect to its Obligations consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.20 Defaulting Lenders(a) . (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 8.02 and the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.01 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.01), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, to be held as cash collateral deemed provided by such Defaulting Lender for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender with respect to any existing or future participating interest in any Swing Line Loan, with a corresponding reversal of any reallocations made among the Lenders with respect to Swing Line Loans pursuant to 2.20(a)(iv); fourth, as WBA may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or participation in respect of which that Defaulting Lender 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 WBA, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account (other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent (provided that such cash collateral shall be invested solely in investments that provide for preservation of capital)) and released in order to satisfy obligations of that

Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and/or to be held as cash collateral for future obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the applicable Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender 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 Loans or funded participations in Swing Line Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans (or Swing Line Loans) were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied first to pay the Loans of, and Swing Line Borrowings or funded participations in Swing Line Loans owed to all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to amounts owing to any Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. The Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Facility to fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(c), the Pro Rata Share of each non-Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Facility shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Defaulting Lender has not provided sufficient cash collateral (as determined by the Administrative Agent) and no Default or Unmatured Default exists; and (B) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Facility to fund participations in Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the Outstanding Credit Exposure of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, 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 Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans and participations in respect of Swing Line Loans (as applicable) of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and Swing Line Loan participations (as applicable) to be held on a pro rata basis by the

Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the applicable Revolving Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.21 Designated Borrowers(a) . (a) WBA may at any time, and from time to time after the Effective Date designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries as a “Designated Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement and such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Designated Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such designation by WBA and the identity of the respective Wholly-Owned Subsidiary.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Designated Borrower not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof (a “Designated Foreign Borrower”), no Lender shall be required to make Loans to such Designated Borrower in the event that the making of such Loans would reasonably be expected to breach or violate any internal policy (other than with respect to Designated Borrowers formed under the laws of any nation that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development as of the date hereof), law or regulation to which such Lender is, or would be upon the making of such Loan, subject (any such Lender, a “Protesting Lender”); provided that (i) any Lender which is relying solely on such internal policies as the basis for not making Loans may do so only if such internal policies are being applied by such Lender or to all similarly situated borrowers seeking loans other extensions of credit from or with respect to doing business in such jurisdiction; and (ii) each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate (or identify) a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans to such Designated Borrower or to assign (or identify for purposes of assignment of) its rights and obligations hereunder to make its Loans to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would permit it to make Loans to such Designated Borrower and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Xxxxxx (and WBA and the relevant Designated Borrower shall agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment).

(c) As soon as practicable (but in any event not more than five Business Days) after receipt of notice from WBA or the Administrative Agent of WBA’s intent to designate a Designated Foreign Borrower, any Protesting Xxxxxx shall notify WBA and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to lend to such Designated Foreign Borrower. With respect to each Protesting Lender, WBA shall, effective on or before the date that such Designated Foreign Borrower shall have the right to borrow under the Revolving Facility, either (A) replace such Protesting Lender with Lenders willing (in their sole discretion) to increase their existing Commitments, or other financial institutions willing (in their sole discretion) to become Lenders and extend new commitments, on terms consistent with Section 2.18, or (B) cancel its request to designate such Designated Foreign Borrower as a “Designated Borrower”.

(d) Upon the payment and performance in full of all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement of any Designated Borrower (other than any contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), such Designated Xxxxxxxx’s status as a “Designated Borrower” shall terminate automatically upon written notice by WBA to the Administrative Agent (which

notice the Administrative Agent shall give promptly to each Lender, upon and only upon its receipt of a request therefor from WBA). Thereafter, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make any Loans to such former Designated Borrower until such time, if ever, as it has been re-designated a Designated Borrower by WBA.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

Section 3.01 Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law:

(a) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate);

(b) subjects any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever (except for (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.05 and (ii) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c) imposes on any Lender or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loans or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, WBA shall pay, or shall cause any Designated Borrower to pay, to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 3.01 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith or (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, unless such Lender is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers that are similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 3.01.

Section 3.02 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations; Certificates for Reimbursement; Delay in Requests. (a) Changes in Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or any Lending Installation of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Xxxxxx’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Xxxxxx’s policies and the policies of such Xxxxxx’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time WBA will pay to

such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 3.02 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith or (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, unless such Lender is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers that are similarly situated to and of similar creditworthiness with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 3.02.

(b) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.01 or subsection (a) of this Section and delivered to WBA shall be conclusive absent manifest error. WBA shall pay, or shall cause the applicable Borrower to pay, to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

(c) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section or Section 3.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that WBA shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section or Section 3.01 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies WBA of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Xxxxxx’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 nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(d) Additional Reserve Requirements. WBA shall pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided WBA shall have received at least 30 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional costs from such Lender. Such Lender shall deliver a certificate to WBA setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of such actual costs incurred by such Lender and shall certify that it is generally charging such costs to similarly situated customers of similar creditworthiness of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.02(d) after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant (which determination shall be made in good faith). If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days prior to the relevant Payment Date, such additional costs shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid under this Section 3.02(d) shall be without duplication of eurocurrency adjustments in the definition of “Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate”.

Section 3.03 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Installation to make, maintain or fund any Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon an existing Benchmark, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Foreign Currency in the applicable offshore interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Xxxxxx to WBA through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue such Loans or to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to such Loans (if applicable) shall be suspended until such Xxxxxx notifies the Administrative Agent and WBA that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, each applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all such Loans of such Lender to Alternate Base Rate Loans (at the Dollar Equivalent of such Loans if applicable), either on the last day of the Interest Period or the following scheduled interest payment date therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 3.04 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, WBA shall, or shall cause the applicable Borrower to, promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Term Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan or other than upon at least one (1) Business Day’s (in the case of payment or prepayment) or 2 Business Days’ (in the case of continuation or conversion), in the case of such Loans denominated in Dollars, and at least three (3) Business Days’, in the case of any such Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, prior notice to the Administrative Agent (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise, but excluding any prepayment or conversion required pursuant to Section 3.03);

(b) any failure by the applicable Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Term Rate Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Term Rate Loan on the date or in the amount or currency notified by such Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Term Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by WBA pursuant to Section 2.18;

including any foreign exchange losses and loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Term Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (if applicable) or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. WBA shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

Section 3.05 Taxes(a) . (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the applicable Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable laws be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable laws require the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such laws as determined by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to be required based upon the information and documentation it, or the applicable taxing authority, has received pursuant to subsection (e) below (for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any such information and documentation received by an applicable taxing authority, solely to the extent such Borrower or the Administrative Agent has been provided with a copy of such information and documentation or otherwise has actual knowledge of such information and documentation and, in each case, is entitled to rely thereon), (B) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such required withholding or the making of such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, WBA shall timely pay, or shall cause the applicable Borrower to pay, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws.

(c) Indemnification. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, WBA shall, or shall cause the applicable Borrower to, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and shall make payment in respect thereof within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent or payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to WBA by a Lexxxx (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to WBA by a Lexxxx (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify (x) the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of (1) the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e) or (2) the failure of such Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 12.01(d) relating to the maintenance

of a Participant Register and (y) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent WBA or the applicable Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of WBA to do so or cause the applicable Borrower to do so) or Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement or the Aggregate Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by WBA or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by WBA, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.05, WBA or the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to WBA and the applicable Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to WBA, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to WBA, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable laws or when reasonably requested by WBA, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information (A) to secure any applicable exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding imposed by any jurisdiction in respect of any payments to be made by WBA or the applicable Borrower to such Lender, and (B) as will permit WBA, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (1) whether or not payments made hereunder, the Fee Letter or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (2) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (3) such Lexxxx’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by WBA or the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax or information reporting purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the applicable Borrower (or, if the applicable Borrower is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code,

(A) any Lender (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to WBA, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of WBA, the applicable

Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by WBA, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable WBA, applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements;

(B) each Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to WBA, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of WBA, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(3) (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service W-8BEN-E; or

(4) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, WBA and the applicable Borrower such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, WBA or the applicable Borrower as will be sufficient for the Administrative Agent, WBA and the applicable Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether payments to such Lender are subject to withholding Tax under FATCA. Solely for purposes of this sub-clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly notify WBA and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. Each Lender also agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify WBA, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Borrower or the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lexxxx, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest (to the extent accrued from the date such refund is paid over to such Borrower) or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority), to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.05, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.03, then such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Installation for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.05, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.03, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. WBA hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 3.07 Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Temporary Benchmark Unavailability. Subject to clauses (b) through (f) below, in connection with any RFR Loan or Term Rate Loan, a request therefor, a conversion to or a continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that:

(A) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining a Daily Simple Foreign RFR Rate for the applicable currency pursuant to the definition thereof,

(B) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining a Benchmark for a Term Rate Loan, as applicable, for the applicable currency and the applicable Interest Period on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period,

(C) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits are not being offered in the applicable currency to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable currency, amount or Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or

(D) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that a Benchmark for any RFR Loan or Term Rate Loan does not materially, adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining the applicable Loans during the applicable Interest Period and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make RFR Loans or Term Rate Loans, as applicable, in each such currency, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan in each such currency (if applicable) to or continue any Loan as an RFR Loan or a Term Rate Loan, as applicable, in each such currency, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods if applicable) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (D), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of RFR Loans or Term Rate Loans in each such affected currency (and the affected Interest Periods if applicable) or, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected SOFR Rate Loan, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (II) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (II) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (1) be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice or, with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the last day of the current Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark 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 (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.07(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.07(e). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.07(d), 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 or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.07(d).

(e) 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), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (1) 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 Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Bexxxxxxx xas provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the 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.

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of RFR Loans or Term Rate Loans, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable currency and, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for any affected SOFR Rate Loans, if applicable, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (II) in the case of any request for any affected Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected SOFR Rate Loans, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (II) any outstanding affected Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (1) be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan, if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above and, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, if no election is made by the Borrower by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple Foreign RFR Loan) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

Section 3.08 Survival. All of each Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of this Agreement or the Aggregate Commitment, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

Section 8.01 Acceleration, Etc. If any Default described in Section 7.05 or 7.06 occurs, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations of each Borrower shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend (in whole or in part) the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans or declare the Obligations of each Borrower to be due and payable (in whole or in part), whereupon such Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrowers hereby expressly waive. Promptly upon any acceleration of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent will provide each Borrower with notice of such acceleration.

If, within thirty (30) days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations of each Borrower or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.05 or 7.06) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to each Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

Section 8.02 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement (including pursuant Section 3.07), the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and WBA may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or waiving any Default hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

(a) Extend the final maturity of any Loan, of any Lender or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof payable to any Lender, or reduce the rate or extend the scheduled time of payment of interest or fees thereon (other than a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof) payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby.

(b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other percentage of Lenders specified to be the applicable percentage in this Agreement to act on specified matters or amend Section 2.19, the definition of “Pro Rata Share”, without the consent of all Lenders affected thereby. For the sake of clarity, the addition of one or more term loan facilities or the increase or addition of one or more revolving credit facilities or an extension of the maturity of a portion of the Revolving Facility and similar modifications shall be permitted with the consent of the Required Lenders and the Lenders agreeing to participate in the new facility or to increase the amount of their commitment or extend the maturity of their Loans.

(c) Extend the Maturity Date or the Facility Termination Date as it applies to any Lender (other than as expressly permitted by the terms of Section 2.03(a)), or increase the amount or otherwise extend the term of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder (other than as expressly permitted by the terms of Section 2.01(b)) without the consent of each Lender affected thereby.

(d) Permit any Borrower to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement except as provided in Section 6.07 without the consent of all Lenders.

(e) Amend the definition of “Foreign Currency” or Section 1.06 or 2.21 without the consent of all Lenders.

(f) Amend this Section 8.02 without the consent of all Lenders.

(g) Release, other than in accordance with the terms hereof, all or substantially all of the value of any guarantee of the Obligations (including the Parent Guarantee) without the consent of all Lenders.

provided further, that (i) no amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (ii) [reserved]; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by WBA and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (including, without limitation, amendments, supplements or waivers to any of documents executed by WBA or any Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and (v) the Administrative Agent and WBA may enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or enter into additional documentation as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any replacement rate or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 3.07(b) in accordance with the terms of Section 3.07(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, (it being specifically understood and agreed that any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (A) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender nor shall the Maturity Date of any Loan made by such Lender be extended or the amount thereof owed to such Lender be reduced without such Lender’s consent, and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Section 8.03 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Unmatured Default or the inability of the applicable Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by, or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of, the requisite number of Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.02, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until all of the Obligations have been paid in full.

The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Agents are authorized to act as such).

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 12.01(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arrangers shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 2.05(b), 9.06, 9.09 and 10.07 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

This Section 9.06(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(b).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof (it being agreed that WBA’s indemnity and contribution obligations set forth in this Section 9.06 shall apply in respect of any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages that may be awarded against any Indemnitee in connection with a claim by a third party unaffiliated with the Indemnitee). No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties or a material breach of such Indemnitee’s or its Related Parties’ obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor.

Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.08, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 9.09 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between each Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders, the Arrangers and the Agents on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Agents, the Arrangers or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower. None of the Agents, the Arrangers or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform any Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of such Borrower’s business or operations.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives on a confidential basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and with the Person, to the extent such compliance is within its control, disclosing such information being responsible for such compliance), (b) to the extent requested by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking or otherwise purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, shall, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, give WBA reasonable notice thereof before complying therewith, except to the extent in connection with an audit or examination conducted by a regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it or its affiliates, (c) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, shall, except with respect to regulatory audit or examination conducted by accountants or any governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, give WBA reasonable notice thereof before complying therewith, except to the extent in connection with an audit or examination conducted by a regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it or its affiliates, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies or the enforcement of rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the Fee Letter in any suit, action or proceeding relating thereto to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in connection with such suit, action or proceeding (provided that WBA shall be given notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity, in each case to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to seek a protective court order with respect to such Information prior to such disclosure (it being understood that the refusal by a court to grant such a protective order shall not prevent the disclosure of such Information thereafter)), (f) subject to the acknowledgment and acceptance by any such party that such information is being disseminated on a confidential basis in accordance with the standard syndication process of the Arrangers or customary market standards for dissemination of such types of information, subject to customary confidentiality restrictions that are no less restrictive in any material respect than those in this Section, which shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative actions on the part of recipient to access such information, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of WBA, (h) in connection with obtaining CUSIP numbers, (i) to the extent such Information (x) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates from a source, other than any Borrower or its Affiliates, that is not to such Person’s knowledge subject to any confidentiality or fiduciary obligation to the Borrowers with respect to such Information or (j) to the extent that such information is independently developed by the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, other than as a result of a breach of this Section.

In addition, on a confidential basis (except to the extent publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section), the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from WBA or any Subsidiary relating to WBA or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lenders on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by WBA or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning WBA or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws.

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 10.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article, other than Section 10.06 below, are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions (other than as provided in Section 10.06 below). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 10.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with WBA or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 10.03 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Administrative Agent of its obligations to comply with the procedures set forth in Section 2.02(b) and 2.08, including the requirement to orally confirm the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which proceeds of Loans are to be disbursed. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for WBA), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 10.04 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to WBA or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article VIII) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent, WBA, any Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct (or breached its material obligations under the Loan Documents) in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and WBA. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of WBA (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Xxxxxxx and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, subject to, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of WBA (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify WBA and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall

instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Xxxxxxx appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 10.10 ERISA. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

The Administrative Agent shall inform each Credit Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Credit Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 12.01 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(b) Assignments by Xxxxxxx. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default under Sections 7.02, 7.05 or 7.06 has occurred and is continuing, WBA otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the prior written consent of WBA (such consent to be provided in WBA’s sole discretion) shall be required unless (i) a Default under Sections 7.02, 7.05 or 7.06 has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (ii) such assignment is to a Person that is a Lender; provided that (x) no assignment shall result in any Lender, together with its Affiliates, holding more than 15% of the Aggregate Commitments at any time without the prior written consent of WBA and (y) it shall be deemed “reasonable” for WBA to withhold its consent if the assignment is to any assignee other than a commercial banking institution with a credit rating for senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money equal to or better than BBB- with S&P and Baa3 with Moody’s or if the assignment is to any assignee other than a commercial banking institution organized in a country that is a member of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development; and

(B) the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii) No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender.

(viii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of WBA and the Administrative Agent, the Pro Rata Share of Loans (including participations in Swing Line Loans) previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, and 9.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of WBA, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and WBA, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by WBA at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of WBA ((i) such consent to be provided in WBA’s sole discretion, (ii) such consent not to be required if a Default under Sections 7.02, 7.05 or 7.06 has occurred and is continuing at the time of the sale of the applicable participation and (iii) such consent not to be required for a participation to a Person that is a Lender), sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swing Line Loans owing to it)); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,

waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.02 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, WBA agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.01 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other Obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.05 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.05 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.05(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation).

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) Resignation as Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America, N.A. assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America, N.A. may, upon 30 days’ notice to WBA and the Lenders, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as a Swing Line Lender, WBA shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder, subject to the consent of such Xxxxxx; provided that no failure by WBA to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America, N.A. as Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America, N.A. resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Xxxxxx provided for hereunder with respect to

Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(c). Upon the appointment and consent of a successor Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender.

Section 12.02 Dissemination of Information. WBA authorizes each of the Lenders to disclose to any Participant or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Xxxxxx’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of WBA and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any reports or other information delivered by WBA pursuant to Section 6.01; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.10 of this Agreement or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 9.10 including making the acknowledgments set forth therein.

Section 12.03 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.05(e); provided, that damages for any breach of this Section 12.03 shall in no event exceed the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Borrower in collecting or attempting to collect from the Transferee any forms it reasonably requires in order to determine its withholding and reporting obligations in accordance with Section 3.05(e) herein.

Section 15.04 U.S. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the U.S. Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies WBA and each other Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies WBA and each other Borrower, which information includes the name and address of WBA and each other Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify WBA and each other Borrower in accordance with the U.S. Patriot Act. WBA and each other Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the U.S. Patriot Act.

Section 15.05 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), WBA and each other Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between WBA and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of WBA and the Borrowers has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of WBA and the Borrowers is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for WBA or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers nor any of the Lenders has any obligation to WBA or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of WBA and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers nor any of the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to WBA or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, WBA and each other Borrower hereby agree and covenants that it will not make any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 15.06 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any applicable Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such applicable Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 15.07 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan 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 party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on 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 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 Loan 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.

ARTICLE XVI

WBA GUARANTEE

Section 16.01 WBA Guaranty. Upon (and subject to) the appointment of a Designated Xxxxxxxx and only for so long as there is a Designated Borrower hereunder, WBA hereby guarantees (the undertaking of WBA contained in this Article XVI being the “Parent Guarantee”) the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of each such Designated Borrower under this Agreement, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, which Obligations shall include such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against WBA or any Designated Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (such obligations, collectively, being the “Subsidiary Borrower Obligations”), and any and all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in enforcing any rights under the Parent Guarantee. The Parent Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. WBA agrees that, as between WBA and the Administrative Agent, the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations may be declared to be due and payable for purposes of the Parent Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any declaration as regards any Designated Borrower and that in the event of a declaration or attempted declaration, the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations shall immediately become due and payable by WBA for purposes of the Parent Guarantee.

Section 16.02 Guaranty Absolute. Upon (and subject to) the appointment of a Designated Xxxxxxxx, WBA guarantees that the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of WBA under the Parent Guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity, enforceability or genuineness of any provision of this Agreement, any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement;

(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations;

(d) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Subsidiary Borrower Obligation; or

(e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, WBA or any other Borrower.

The Parent Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Designated Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 16.03 Waivers. (a) WBA hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations and the Parent Guarantee and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against a Designated Borrower or any other Person or any collateral.

(b) WBA hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Designated Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the obligations of WBA under the Parent Guarantee, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against such Designated Borrower or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from such Designated Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right. If any amount shall be paid to WBA in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (i) both (x) the payment in full of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations (including any and all Subsidiary Borrower Obligations which remain outstanding after the Facility Termination Date) and all other amounts payable under the Parent Guarantee and (y) such time as there is no Designated Borrower hereunder and (ii) the Facility Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Parent Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Parent Guarantee, or to be held as collateral for any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or other amounts payable under the Parent Guarantee thereafter arising. WBA acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and the Parent Guarantee and that the waiver set forth in this Section 16.03(b) is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 16.04 Continuing Guaranty. Upon (and subject to) the appointment of a Designated Borrower, the Parent Guarantee is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until both (x) the payment in full of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations (including any and all Subsidiary Borrower Obligations which remain outstanding after the Facility Termination Date) and all other amounts payable under the Parent Guarantee and (y) such time as there is no Designated Borrower hereunder, (ii) be binding upon each of WBA and its successors and assigns and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. In the event that a Designated Xxxxxxxx is appointed or reinstated pursuant to Section 2.21 after the Parent Guarantee is no longer continuing pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Parent Guarantee shall in turn be reinstated and shall thereafter constitute a continuing guaranty with respect to such Designated Borrower and its Subsidiary Borrower Obligations (subject to the preceding sentence).

TO REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT


Index Debt Rating (Moody’s or S&P)	Applicable Commitment Fee Rate	Applicable Margin for Loans (other than Alternate Base Rate Loans)	Applicable Margin for Alternate Base Rate Loans
Rating Category 1: ≥ A- / A3	0.060%	0.750%	0.000%
Rating Category 2: BBB+ / Baa1	0.080%	0.875%	0.000%

Rating Category 5: ≤ BB+ / Ba1	0.225%	1.500%	0.500%

For purposes of the foregoing, “Index Debt Rating” means a rating for senior, unsecured, long-term Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of WBA that is not guaranteed by any other person or subject to any other credit enhancement. If (i) either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Rating Category 5; (ii) the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Rating Categories, the Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings, and (iii) the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, WBA and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
