such payment is received, regardless of whether those Lenders held the Commitments and Loans during the relevant period) the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Rate for that period and (y) if the corrected
Compliance Certificate for that period would have resulted in the application of a lower rate, the Borrower shall receive a credit in the amount of such overpayment with respect to the immediately succeeding interest payment; provided, that for the
avoidance of doubt, during such three (3) Business Day period and thereafter, if the preceding sentence is complied with, (w) the failure to previously pay such shortfall in interest and fees, (x) the delivery of such inaccurate Compliance
Certificate, (y) any failure to notify the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of the events described in clauses (w) or (x) above that would otherwise have constituted a Default or Event of Default, or (z) any incorrect

provided, however, that (i) the foregoing definition shall not require, and the Loan Documents shall not contain any requirements as to, (A) the creation
or perfection of pledges of, security interests in, Mortgages on, or the obtaining of title insurance, surveys, abstracts, evidence of flood insurance or the availability thereof, or appraisals or taking other actions with respect to any Excluded

instruments (including the use of one or more separate Mortgage instruments, allocation of debt, and stated maximum principal amounts) in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lender Representative in order to minimize, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law and consistent with maintaining adequate security for the Secured Obligations, any mortgage recording or similar taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Mortgage shall be required to secure, and no Mortgage will secure, Obligations in

administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent).

determination shall, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”, which LCT Election may be in respect of one or more of clauses (a)
through (d) above (other than in connection with the conditions precedent pursuant to Section 4.02 for any Revolving Credit Borrowing), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are

respect thereto, on a Pro Forma Basis as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date (for income statement purposes) or at the end of such most recent Test Period (for balance sheet
purposes), the Borrower would have been permitted to consummate such Limited Condition Transaction and such Related Transactions with respect thereto on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test, basket or default provision,

warranty shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that, at the Borrower’s option, the relevant ratio, test, basket, default provision, representation or warranty may be recalculated at the time of consummation of the Limited Condition
Transaction; provided, further, that if financial statements and certificates required by Section 6.01(a) or (b) for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion,

Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such re-determination). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests, baskets or
default provisions for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are not satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket or otherwise, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Total
Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have not been satisfied as a result of
such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test, basket availability, default provision, representation or warranty with respect to the
incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments, Dispositions, Permitted Acquisitions, other Investments, mergers or prepayments, repurchases, redemptions, defeasances or other satisfactions of any Indebtedness, any merger,
dissolution, liquidation or consolidation or any designation of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary (each of the foregoing, a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant
LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without
consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test, basket, default provision, representation or warranty shall be required to
be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and any Related Transactions with respect thereto have been consummated; provided that with respect to any such
Subsequent Transaction that is a Restricted Payment, any such ratio, test, basket, default provision, representation or warranty shall also be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and any Related Transactions
with respect thereto have not been consummated. The Borrower may, at its option (x) update the LCT Test Date, solely for purposes of testing availability under any basket or the calculation of any financial ratio or test hereunder, to the last date
of a later Test Period and/or (y) terminate an LCT Election.

Period and (ii) prior to the initial date upon which the financial statements and certificates required by Section 6.01(a) or (b), as the case may be, and Section 6.02(a) are required to be delivered, compliance shall be
