You have advised us that the Borrower has requested in a letter dated November 5, 2025 (the “Increase Request”) from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

A. Commitment Increase. Pursuant to Section 2.08(e) of the Credit Agreement, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (the “Assuming Lender”), hereby agrees to make a Multicurrency Commitment in the amount set forth in Schedule I hereto pursuant to the instruction of the Administrative Agent, such Multicurrency Commitment to be effective as of the Increase Date (as defined in the Increase Request); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed officer’s certificate from the Borrower, dated the Increase Date, in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto.

B. Confirmation of Assuming Lender. The Assuming Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Increase Date, the making of the associated Multicurrency Commitments shall be governed for all purposes by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

C. Counterparts. This Commitment Increase Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Commitment Increase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures (including, for the

Sections 9.09 and 9.10 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis.
