The new agreement provides a $2.5 billiona senior revolving credit facility maturing February 3, 2029.

The Borrower terminated the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date.

The facility includes two six-month extension options (or one twelve-month option) subject to customary conditions and extension fees, and an accordion feature allowing revolving commitments to be increased by up to $1.0 billion (to $3.5 billion total) and the addition of term loans of up to $2.0 billion, both subject to lender participation. Pricing is SOFR plus a margin of 0.70% to 1.40%, or a base rate plus 0.00% to 0.40%, with the margin set by debt ratings and total leverage ratio.
A facility fee of 0.10%c to 0.30% applies to total commitments.
