published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such
component thereof) to be non-representative or non-compliant with or non-aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks; provided that such non-representativeness, non-compliance or
non-alignment will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such
date. 

For the
avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the
published component used in the calculation thereof). 

  
 6

provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); 

(b)

Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such
component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such
component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator
for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of
such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide
all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue
to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or 

(c) a public
statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component
thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks. 
 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, 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

publication).

replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and
properties. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash or immediately available funds (or, in the case of obligations with respect
to Bank Products, providing Bank Product Collateralization) of all of the Obligations other than (i) unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations and (ii) any Bank Product Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable
Bank Product Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid or cash collateralized. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing
contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any Record transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained therein.

or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person,
then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the
holders of its equity interests at such time.

1.2
 Rates. The Agent does not warrant or accept
responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or any component
definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative,
successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other
Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation
of ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Agent may select
information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any
Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity),
for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. 

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 
 2.1
Revolver Advances. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction
of each applicable condition set forth in Sections 3.1 and/or 3.2), during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, each Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make advances (“Revolving
Advances”) to Borrower in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount or (ii) the Borrowing Base. 

(b) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Agent shall have the right to establish reserves in accordance
with clauses (i) and (ii) below. 
 (i) Such reserves shall be in such amounts as Agent in its
Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate against the Borrowing Base, solely with respect to (A) sums that Borrower is required to pay (such as taxes) and has failed to pay under any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (B) amounts owing by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral (other than any existing Permitted Lien set forth on Schedule P-1 which is
specifically identified thereon as entitled to have priority over the Agent’s Liens), which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of Agent likely would have a priority superior to the Agent’s Liens in and to such item of the
Collateral, (C) with respect to any Note Receivable, the valuation of such Note Receivable or the Collateral securing any Note Receivable, and (D) the aggregate amount of unfunded commitments of Borrower to the makers of Notes Receivable;
provided that such unfunded commitments 

  
 44 













 
are not subject to any conditions or milestone requirements that have not been met or are reasonably likely to be met within thirty (30) days. Prior to the establishment of any such reserve,
Agent shall first notify in writing and discuss with Borrower any such reserve that Agent proposes to establish, which written notice (each, a “Reserve Notice”) shall in any event set forth: (x) the amount of any such proposed
reserve; and (y) the rationale for such reserve. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reserve shall be established
pursuant to clause (i)(C) above unless the Borrower has failed to provide written notice of its objection to such reserve (each, a “Reserve Objection”) within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the applicable
Reserve Notice. If, during such five (5) Business Day period, the Borrower delivers a Reserve Objection to the Agent, then the Borrower shall have the right to request that the applicable Note Receivable be independently valued by an Approved
Third-Party Appraiser retained by the Borrower and no reserve shall be taken with respect to such Note Receivable pursuant to clause (i)(C) above and instead: (x) until such Third-Party Appraiser valuation is obtained, the Net Eligible
Balance of such Note Receivable shall be the lower of: (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such Note Receivable or (ii) the value of such Note Receivable as determined under GAAP as reflected in the most recently delivered
quarterly financial statements of Borrower, and (y) once such Third-Party Appraiser valuation is obtained, then the Net Eligible Balance of such Note Receivable shall be the value as determined by such Approved Third-Party Appraiser, provided
that any such valuation by such Approved Third-Party Appraiser shall be delivered to the Agent within thirty (30) days after delivery of the applicable Reserve Objection. Any such valuation may be updated from time to time by further valuations
of such Approved Third-Party Appraiser, in which case the Net Eligible Balance of such Note Receivable shall be such updated valuation. 

(iii) If the rationale set forth in the Reserve Notice for any reserve shall no longer exist, then such reserve shall
automatically be extinguished. 
 (c) Lenders shall have no obligation to make additional Advances hereunder to the extent such additional
Advances would cause the Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. 
 (d) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this
Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued and unpaid
thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

2.2 Swingline Loans. 

(a) Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of Lenders
set forth in this Section 2.2, may in its sole discretion make Swingline Loans to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in


  
 45 













 
(i) the Revolving Credit Exposure of Swingline Lender exceeding its Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments or (iii) the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Sublimit; provided, that Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan and Swingline Lender shall not be under any
obligation to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Swingline Loan may have, Fronting Exposure; and provided further, that in making any such
Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall not waive any of the terms or conditions set forth herein without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Lender or Lenders acquiring a participation of such Swingline Loan pursuant to
Section 2.2(b) below. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing, Agent shall elect, in its
discretion, (i) to have the terms of Section 2.3(a) apply to such requested Borrowing, or (ii) to request Swingline Lender to make a Swingline Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3(b) in the amount of the
requested Borrowing; provided, however, that if Swing Lender declines in its sole discretion to make a Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(b), Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section 2.3(a) apply to such
requested Borrowing. 
 (b) Participations by Lenders in Swingline Loans. 

(i) Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan by Swingline Lender, and without any further action on the part of
Swingline Lender or Lenders, Swingline Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from Swingline Lender, a participation in such Swingline Loan equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Swingline
Loan. Swingline Lender may, by written notice given to Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on any Business Day, require Lenders to fund participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of its Swingline Loans outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will fund such participations. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to Agent, for account of Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire and fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by
any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuation of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each
Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.3 with respect to Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.3 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of Lenders), and Agent shall promptly pay to Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from Lenders. 

  
 46 













 (ii) Agent shall notify Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan
funded pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to Agent and not to Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by Swingline Lender from Borrower (or other party on behalf of Borrower)
in respect of a Swingline Loan made by Swingline Lender after receipt by Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to Agent. Any such amounts received by Agent shall be promptly remitted by Agent
to Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to the preceding paragraph and to Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to Swingline Lender or to Agent, as
applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 

(c) Resignation of Swingline Lender. Swingline Lender may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to Agent, Lenders and
Borrower. After the resignation of Swingline Lender hereunder, the retiring Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans. 

2.3 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements. 

(a) Borrowing Procedures of Revolving Advances. Each Borrowing shall be made by an irrevocable written request in the form of Exhibit
F-1 hereof by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent (which notice must be received by Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) no later than
(i) in the case of a SOFR Loan, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date that is
the requested Funding Date, or (ii) in the case of an ABR Loan, the Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date) specifying (iA) the amount of such Borrowing, and (iiB) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day; provided
that Swingline Borrowings shall be made as provided in Section 2.3(b). Each Borrowing hereunder shall initially bear interest at the Adjusted Daily Reset
LIBOR Rate. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures for Swingline Loans. Each
Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s notice to Swingline Lender and Agent. Each such notice shall be in the form of a written request in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereof, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Person and
must be received by Swingline Lender and Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the requested Swingline Borrowing, and such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in a minimum of $100,000 or a
larger multiple of $50,000, and (ii) the date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to Borrower by credit to
Borrower’s account with Swingline Lender or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Swingline Lender, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Loan hereunder shall bear interest at the ABR. 

 (c) Making of Advances. 

  
 47 













 (i) Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify Lenders, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the
requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Advances, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof
available to Borrower not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Custodial Account or to such other account as shall be
designated by Borrower to Agent. 
 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with
respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available
to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any
Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Advance on the date of Borrowing for all
purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent for
Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Advances composing such Borrowing. The failure of any
Lender to make any Revolving Advance on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make ana Revolving Advance on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Advance to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date. 

(iii) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting
Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to Swingline Lender on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Swingline Lender
hereunder, (B) second, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a Revolving Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded
by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (C) third, to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of Borrower (upon the request of
Borrower and subject 

  
 48 













 
to the conditions set forth in Section 3.3) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Advances (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (D) fourth, from and after
the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (J) of Section 2.4(b)(i). Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to
Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan
Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.13(a), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such
Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any fee payable under Section 2.13(a) that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender); provided,
that (x) any Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification to this Agreement requiring the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.3(c)(iii) shall remain
effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrower shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.3(c)(iii) to such
Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to
fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder (on which earlier date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any remaining cash collateral
held by Agent); provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender. The operation of this Section 2.3(c)(iii) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and
obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to
fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower, at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a
completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations
(other than Bank Product Obligations), but including all interest, fees (other 

  
 49 













 than any fee payable under Section 2.13(a) relating to any period in which
Lender was a Defaulting Lender), and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof; provided, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender
Groups’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3(c)(iii)
and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the
event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3(c)(iii) shall control and govern. 

(d) [Reserved]. 
 (e)
Agent Revolving Advances. 
 (i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and Lenders, from time to time in
Agent’s sole discretion, (1) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (2) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have not
been satisfied, to make Revolving Advances to Borrower on behalf of Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the
likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations), or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Lender Group Expenses and the costs, fees, and
expenses described in Section 10 (any of the Revolving Advances described in this Section 2.3(e) shall be referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided, however, that Agent shall not knowingly make
additional Agent Advances that would cause the aggregate amount of outstanding Agent Advances at such time to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base at such time without the consent of all Lenders. Each Agent Advance shall be deemed to
be a Revolving Advance hereunder, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account. 

(ii) The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and secured by the Agent’s Liens granted to Agent under the Loan
Documents, shall constitute Revolving Advances and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Advances that are
Base
RateABR Loans. 

(f) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by Lenders to equal, at all times, such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Advances and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: 

  
 50 













 (i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with
Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent, (1) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (2) with respect to Collections received, as to each by notifying Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or
other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the
“Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances and Agent Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein (including Section 2.3(c)(iii)): (y) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances and Agent Advances exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances and Agent Advances as of a Settlement Date, then Agent
shall, by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Lender as such Lender may designate, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount,
have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances and Agent Advances, and (z) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances and Agent Advances is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances and Agent Advances as of
a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have
as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances and Agent Advances. Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Agent
Advance and shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its
account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate. 
 (ii) In
determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances and Agent Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances and Agent Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant
Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. To the extent that a net
amount is owed to any such Lender after such application, such net amount shall be distributed by Agent to that Lender as part of such next Settlement. 

(iii) During the period between Settlement Dates, Agent with respect to Agent Advances and each Lender with respect to the
Advances other than Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Agent or Lenders, as applicable. 

(g) Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall record on its books the principal amount of the Advances and stated
interest owing to each Lender, including Swingline Loans owing to Swingline Lender, and Agent Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such records shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be
presumed to be correct and accurate. In addition, each Lender is authorized, at such Lender’s option, to note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Advances in its books and records, including
computer records. 

  
 51 













 (h) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Advances (other than Swingline Loans and
Agent Advances) shall be made by Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance
(or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its
obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
 2.4 Payments. 

(a) Payments by Borrower. 

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to Agent’s Account for the
account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been
received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. 

(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Lenders that Borrower will not
make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on
demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 

(b) Apportionment and Application of Payments. 

(i) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents
(including letter agreements between Agent and individual lenders, if any), aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments
relate held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account) shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to
which a particular fee relates. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall remit all payments to Agent as and when due hereunder for application to the Obligations as described above. During the continuance of any
Event of Default, all amounts in the Borrower Accounts and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by Agent shall be applied by Agent as follows: 

  
 52 













 (A) first, to pay on a ratable basis, until paid in full any
Collateral Custodian Fees then due to Collateral Custodian under the Collateral Custodian Agreement; 
 (B) second,
to pay the Servicing Fee of Servicer and, with respect to a successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, expenses and other amounts due to such successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Special Servicer Fees and
Expenses due to the Special Servicer under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, respectively (provided, that with respect to the initial Servicer, such Servicing Fee shall only be paid so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing), until paid in full; 
 (C) third, to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due to Agent under the Loan
Documents, until paid in full; 
 (D) fourth, to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due to Lenders under the Loan

 (I) ninth, subject to the proviso at the end of this clause (I), ratably 

 

	 	1)	 to pay the outstanding principal of all Swingline Loans until paid in full, 



 

	 	2)	 to pay the outstanding principal of all Revolving Advances until paid in full, and 



 

	 	3)	 ratably, up to the amount (after taking into account any amounts previously paid pursuant to this clause
3) of the most recently established Bank Product Reserve Amount (but in no event in an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount at such time) to (y) the Bank Product Providers based upon amounts then
certified by the applicable Bank Product Provider to Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to Agent) to be due and payable 



  
 53 














	 	
to such Bank Product Providers on account of Bank Product Obligations, and (z) with any balance to be paid to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Bank Product
Providers, as cash collateral (which cash collateral may be released by Agent to the applicable Bank Product Provider and applied by such Bank Product Provider to the payment or reimbursement of any amounts due and payable with respect to Bank
Product Obligations owed to the applicable Bank Product Provider as and when such amounts first become due and payable) and, if and at such time as all such Bank Product Obligations are paid or otherwise satisfied in full, the cash collateral held
by Agent in respect of such Bank Product Obligations shall be reapplied pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(i), beginning with tier (A) hereof; 


provided, however, that, at any time, upon satisfaction of the conditions described in the definition of “Permitted Restricted
Payments” applicable to Permitted Tax Distributions at such time, Borrower may request from Agent, and Agent shall release to Borrower, funds in the Custodial Account for the purposes of making a Permitted Tax Distribution immediately prior to
the payment of the amounts described in this clause (I), except that during the Amortization Period any such release to Borrower for the purposes of making a Permitted Tax Distribution shall occur only after an amount of Advances equal to the
then applicable Required Amortization Amount shall have already been paid to Lenders pursuant to this clause (I); 

(J) tenth, to pay any other Obligations other than Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders, 

(K) eleventh, ratably to pay any Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders, and 

(L) twelfth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Custodial Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable
law. 
 (ii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each
Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(f). 

(iii) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, this Section 2.3(b) shall
not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and specified by Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement. 

(iv) For purposes of the foregoing, “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents
according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense
reimbursements, whether or not any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding. 

  
 54 













 (v) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of
this Section 2.3 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible,
to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3 shall control and govern. 

(c) Repayment of Swingline Loans. Borrower shall repay to Agent for account of Swingline Lender each Swingline Loan made by Swingline
Lender on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is five (5) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Credit Availability Period; provided that on each date that a Revolving Advance is made, Borrower
shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Revolving Advance shall be applied by Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request
of Swingline Lender, Borrower shall repay the outstanding Swingline Loans made by Swingline Lender in an amount sufficient to eliminate any Fronting Exposure in respect of such Swingline Loans. 

(d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in
Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not
cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 16.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of
any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such
reallocation. 
 (e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in paragraph (d) above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure. 

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Agent and Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender,
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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Swingline
Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Swingline Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by Lenders in accordance with the Commitments
(without giving effect to paragraph (c) above), whereupon, such 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 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 Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

  
 55 













 (g) New Swingline Loans. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Swingline
Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan. 

2.5 Overadvances and Required Amortization Amount. 

(a) Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) owed by Borrower to
the Lender Group pursuant to Section 2.1 is greater than (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount or (ii) the Borrowing Base (an “Overadvance”), except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 2.3(e),
Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days after delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating such excess) pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the
Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). All Overadvances shall be treated as Base RateABR Loans. In addition, Borrower hereby promises to pay the Obligations
(including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full as and when due and payable under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(b) Required Amortization Amount. If, as of any Payment Date following the Amortization Commencement Date, the Amortization Commencement
Date Principal Balance has not been reduced by at least the Required Amortization Amount as of such date, then Borrower immediately shall pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such shortfall, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the
outstanding principal amount of the Amortization Commencement Date Principal Balance. 
 2.6 Termination or Reduction of
Commitment. 
 (a) Optional. Borrower may, upon notice to Agent, terminate the unused portion of the Commitments, or from time
to time reduce the unused Commitments; provided that (i) each such notice shall be in writing and must be received by Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, and shall be
irrevocable (provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to Agent on or prior
to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied), (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $10,000,000, or as otherwise agreed upon between Agent and Borrower and
(iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the
Commitments shall automatically terminate at the end of the Revolving Credit Availability Period. 
 (b) Application of Commitment
Reductions. Agent will promptly notify Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such
Lender’s Pro Rate Share of the amount of such reduction. 

  
 56 













 2.7 Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations. 

(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.7(b) below, the greater of (x) all Obligations (except for Bank Product
Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof and (y) during the
Revolving Credit Availability Period, 15% of the Maximum Revolver Amount, shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows: 

(i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR
RateSOFR Loan, at a per annum rate equal to
(A) the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Daily Reset Rate, as applicable, plus (B) the LIBOR RateTerm SOFR for the Interest Period therefore plus the SOFR Margin, and

 (ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to (A) the Base RateABR plus (B) the Base
RateABR Margin; 

provided that, each Swingline Loans shall be a Base RateABR Loan. 

(b) Default Rate. (i) Automatically during the continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or
8.1(e) or an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(b) that is due to a failure to comply with a covenant contained in Section 7.17, or (ii) at the written election of the Required Lenders during the
continuation of any other Event of Default, all Obligations (except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to
two percent (2.0%) above the per annum rate otherwise then-applicable hereunder to Base RateABR Loans or LIBOR RateSOFR Loans hereunder. 
 (c) Payment. Except to the extent, if any, provided to the contrary in
Section 2.13, Section 2.15, or elsewhere in this Agreement, interest and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, (i) on each Payment Date that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding,
and (ii) on the Maturity Date. On or about ten (10) days prior to each Payment Date, Agent will provide Borrower with an indicative statement detailing the amount of interest, fees and expenses payable on the immediately upcoming Payment
Date, which amounts shall be subject to modification as a result of changes occurring between the date of delivery of such statement and such Payment Date (and Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with prompt written
notice of any such modification(s) on or prior to such Payment Date). Borrower hereby authorizes Agent from time to time to debit (by ACH or otherwise) from any Borrower Account all interest and fees (when due and payable), the fees and costs
provided for in Section 2.13 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers
in respect of Bank Products up to the Bank Product Reserve Amount). Borrower further authorizes Agent, from time to time with prior notice to Borrower, to charge all interest and fees (when due and payable), all Lender Group Expenses (as and when
incurred), the fees and costs provided for in Section 2.13 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document or any 

  
 57 













 
Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products up to the Bank Product Reserve Amount) to Borrower’s Loan Account,
which amounts thereafter constitute Revolving Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded and shall thereafter constitute Revolving
Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Advances hereunder. 
 (d) Computation. All
interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of 360 days (or in the case of interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the
Prime Rate, such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year)), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans which accrue interest by reference to
clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable, for the actual number of days elapsed). In
the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base
Rate.including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR or Term SOFR shall be
determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(e) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any
other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this
Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or
manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from
Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess. 

(f) SOFR
Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of SOFR, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to
time in consultation with the Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such
Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders
of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of
SOFR. 

(g) Interest
Elections. 
 (i) Election by Borrower for Borrowings. Subject to Section 2.3, the Loans comprising each Advance initially shall be of
the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a SOFR Loan, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loan to a Loan of a different Type or to
continue such Loan as a Loan of the same Type  

  
 58 













 
and, in the case of a SOFR Loan, may elect the Interest Period
therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Loan, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the applicable Lenders holding the Loans
comprising such Advance, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Advance.
This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 

(ii)
 Notice of Elections. Each such election pursuant to this Section shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Agent. Each such notice shall be in the form of a written Interest Election Request, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, or may be given by telephone to the Agent (if promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of such a written Interest Election Request consistent with such telephonic notice) and must be received by the
Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. 

(iii)
 Content of Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request pursuant to this Section shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.3: 

(A)
 the principal amount of Loans to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Loan (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clauses (C) and (D) below shall be specified for each resulting Loan); 

(B)
 the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(C)
 whether the resulting Loan is to be an ABR Loan or a SOFR Loan; and 

(D)
 if the resulting Borrowing is a SOFR Loan, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election. 

(iv)
 Notice by Agent to Lenders. The Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details of an Interest Election Request and such Lender’s portion of such resulting Borrowing no less than one Business Day before the effective date of the
election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request. 
 (v) Failure to Elect Interest; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election
Request with respect to an SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such SOFR Loan is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such SOFR Loan shall automatically be continued as an
SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one month at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof,
if an Event of 


  
 59 













 
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is
continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as an SOFR Loan and (ii) unless repaid as provided herein, each SOFR Loan shall automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
therefor.  
 2.8 Optional Prepayments. 

(a) Optional Prepayment of Base RateABR Loans. Borrower may prepay, in whole or in part (but, if in part, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 unless otherwise
agreed to by Agent), any Base
RateABR Loan at any time, without penalty, upon
one (1) Business Day’s prior notice by Borrower to Agent prior to the date of prepayment (or, in any case, such shorter period of time then agreed to by Agent). 

(b) Optional Prepayment of LIBOR RateSOFR Loans. Borrower may prepay, in whole or in part (but, if in part, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 unless otherwise
agreed to by Agent), any LIBOR
RateSOFR Loan at any time, upon three
(3) Business Days prior notice by Borrower to Agent prior to the date of prepayment (or, in any case, such shorter period of time then agreed to by Agent). The prepayment of LIBOR RateSOFR Loans may be subject to prepayment penalties based on Lenders’ actual re-deployment costs and actual
LIBORTerm
SOFR breakage costs. 
 (c) Any such prepayment shall be made by the payment of
the principal amount to be prepaid and all accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment. 
 2.9 Cash Management.

 (a) Accounts. All cash, checks, drafts or other items of payment relating to or constituting payments made in respect of any or
all of the Collateral, all Collections, and all other proceeds of the Collateral, shall be deposited directly into the Collection Account, or any other alternative collection account(s) as designated by Agent from time to time in its sole
discretion; provided that any such designation of any alternative collection account may not be unreasonably withdrawn by Agent (such withdrawal to be subject to a prior written notice by Agent to Borrower). Borrower shall maintain in effect at all
times either (i) instructions to all Account Debtors on Notes Receivable to: (A) make payment of any obligations owing to Borrower directly, by ACH transfer or wire transfer, to the Collection Account or to an account held by Servicer
(with such account being subject to an account control agreement that is approved by Agent) for prompt remission (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) to the Collection Account, and (B) to mail or deliver all checks or other
forms of payment for amounts owing to Borrower to a post office box or other address approved in writing by Agent, or (ii) enforceable authorizations from Account Debtors permitting Borrower or Servicer to automatically debit payments in
respect of all Notes Receivable directly from such Account Debtors’ deposit accounts through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network or electronic funds transfers. Borrower shall cause all such items referenced in the preceding sentence to
be credited either directly to the Collection Account or to an account held by Servicer (with such account being subject to an account control agreement that is approved by Agent) for prompt remission (but in no event later than two
(2) Business Days) to the Collection Account. So long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, amounts on 

  
 60 













 
deposit in the Collection Account may be swept by the Borrower to the Custodial Account. Other than such transfers to the Custodial Account, neither Borrower, Servicer nor any Person claiming
through either shall, or attempt to, withdraw or transfer any portion of the Collection Account, make payments from the Collection Account or issue withdrawal, transfer delivery or other instructions with respect to the Collection Account. If
Borrower or any of its Affiliates receives any payments on account of Notes Receivable, Collections or any other Collateral, then Borrower shall hold or cause its Affiliates to hold such payments in trust for Agent and shall promptly (and in no
event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof) deposit all such payments, to the extent of Borrower’s rights therein, into the Collection Account. 

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) Borrower shall not, and shall not attempt to or permit
any of its Affiliates to or attempt to, withdraw or transfer any amounts in a Borrower Account, or make payments from either such account or issue withdrawal, transfer, delivery or other instructions with respect to such accounts, except as may be
approved by Agent in writing; and (ii) Agent may apply all or any part of the amounts in the Borrower Accounts or any other account of Borrower maintained with MUFG or otherwise to the Obligations as provided in Section 2.3(b). 

2.10 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Agent shall not be considered a payment on account unless such
payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment,
then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into the
Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York time). If any payment item is received into the Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been
received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. 
 2.11 Funding of Proceeds. Agent
is authorized to make the Advances under this Agreement based upon instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.7(c). Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and
Borrower, any Advance or Agent Advance requested by Borrower and made by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Custodial Account. 

2.12 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of
Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with all Advances (including Agent Advances and Swingline Loans) made by Agent, Swingline Lender or Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, and with all
other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank Product Obligations), including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.10, the Loan Account
will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges
and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30
days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements. 

  
 61 













 2.13 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent the following fees and charges, which
fees and charges shall be non-refundable when paid (irrespective of whether this Agreement is terminated thereafter) and shall be apportioned among Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and of any letter agreements between Agent and individual
Lenders: 
 (a) Unused Line Fee. On each Payment Date (other than any Payment Date occurring during the Amortization Period), Borrower
shall pay to Agent, on behalf of Lenders, an unused line fee equal to (i) the amount by which (A) the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect exceeds (B) the
greater of (1) 15% of the Maximum Revolver Amount, and (2) the average Daily Balance of Advances that were outstanding from (and including) the immediately preceding Payment Date (or, with respect to the period from the Closing Date until the first Payment Date, from (and
including) the Closing Date) until (but excluding) such Payment Date (the amount in this clause (i), the “Average Unused Line Amount”), multiplied by (ii) (A) if the Average Unused Line Amount is less than twenty
percent (20%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect, one-fifth of one percent (0.200%) per annum, (B) if the Average Unused Line Amount is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect but greater
than or equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect, three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum or (C) if the Average Unused Line Amount is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect, one-half of one percent (0.500%) per annum; provided for the avoidance of doubt, that no unused line fee shall accrue or be due and payable during the Amortization Period. 

(b) Fee Letter Fees. As and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, Borrower shall pay to Agent the fees set forth in
the Fee Letter. 
 (c) Audit, Appraisal, and Valuation Charges. Subject to any restrictions in Section 4.6, for the
separate account of Agent, Borrower shall pay to Agent audit, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges not to exceed (i) $25,000 per audit (or such higher amount as shall be mutually agreed to by Borrower and Agent) for each financial or
collateral audit of Borrower performed by personnel employed by Agent, (ii) Agent’s then applicable daily rate per applicable individual, plus reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses, for the establishment of electronic collateral
reporting systems, if requested by Agent, and (iii) the actual reasonable and documented charges paid or incurred by Agent if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform financial or collateral audits of Borrower,
to establish electronic collateral reporting systems, to appraise the Collateral or any portion thereof, or to assess Borrower’s procedures or business valuation; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower will not be charged for more than one (1) collateral audit in any twelve-month period. 

  
 62 













 2.14 Capital Requirements. If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines
that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or
(ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request, or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such
Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking
into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then
such Lender may notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, unless such reduction is on account of Taxes, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such
reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based
(which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than
180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of such Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the
Change in Law that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

2.15 LIBORSOFR Option. 
 (a) LIBOR Election. Borrower may elect from time to time that all (or any portion) of the Revolving Advances (other than Advances with respect to Agent Advances and
Overadvances) bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, by notifying Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three
(3) Business Days prior to its desired commencement of an Interest Period for all (or a portion) of the Revolving Advances (the “LIBOR Deadline”), elect to exercise Borrower’s option (the
“LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all (or any portion) of such Revolving Advances (other than Advances with respect to Agent Advances and Overadvances) determined for such Interest Period by reference to the LIBOR
Rate or the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate. Notice of Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for any Interest Period, and (if applicable) the Interest Periods selected and the Revolving Advances subject to such Interest Periods, shall be made
by delivery by Borrower to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline. Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. Promptly upon its receipt of any LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each
of Lenders. There shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower has not exercised the LIBOR Option in accordance with this Section 2.15 prior to
the LIBOR Deadline for an Interest Period, then interest on all or such portion of the Revolving Advances then eligible to have interest determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate (including the Revolving Advances that were treated as LIBOR Rate
Loans during the immediately preceding Interest Period) shall be determined for such Interest Period by reference to the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate unless Borrower has notified Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three
(3) Business Days prior to the commencement of an Interest Period that it elects interest on such Revolving Advances to accrue by reference to the 


  
 63 













 
Base Rate. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower no longer
shall have the option to request that Revolving Advances bear interest determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate, and Lender shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans
to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder for the remainder of such Interest Period. This Section shall not apply to Swingline
Borrowings which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) Base Rate Loans in Absence of LIBOR Election Availability. If Borrower is not entitled to exercise the LIBOR Option for such Interest Period, then interest on all
of the Revolving Advances (including Revolving Advances that were treated as LIBOR Rate Loans during the immediately preceding Interest Period) shall be determined for such Interest Period by reference to the Base Rate. 

(a)
(c) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate. 

(i) The LIBOR RateSpecial Provisions Applicable to Term SOFR. Term SOFR may be
adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or
obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including
any Change in Law (including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws)) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor),
excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of
funding or maintaining loans bearing interest by reference to the LIBOR RateTerm SOFR. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower
and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require
such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR RateTerm SOFR and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment,
or (B) repay (or convert to Base
RateABR Loans) the LIBOR RateSOFR Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made. 
 (d) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is
required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Revolving Advance as to which interest accrues by reference to the LIBOR Rate. 

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

(i) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Rate
Loan (other than any LIBOR Rate Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise); 

  
 64 













 (ii) any failure by
Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any LIBOR Rate Loan (other than any LIBOR Rate Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate) on the date or in the
amount notified by Borrower; or 
 (iii) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan (other than any LIBOR Rate Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by
Borrower pursuant to Section 15.2. 
 (b) (f) Termination Right. If at any time Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any additional amounts in accordance with Section 2.14 or any Lender exercises its rights pursuant to this
Section 2.15, then Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5); provided that such option to terminate shall in no event relieve Borrower of paying any
amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.15 in accordance with the terms hereof. In no event will Borrower be responsible for increased amounts referred to in Section 2.14 or 2.15 which relate to any other
entities to which the applicable Lender provides financing. 

(c)
(g) Designation of Different Lending Office. Upon the occurrence of any event giving
rise to Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to Sections 2.14 or any Lender exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender will, if requested by Borrower, use reasonable
efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce or obviate the obligations of Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided
that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of
the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision. 

2.16 Inability to
Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2.20, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period
for any SOFR Loan: 
 (a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term

with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such
proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this
Section 
2.16 will occur prior to
the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to
time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.the Required Lenders
determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, 

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date,
(ii) the implementation of any Benchmark
Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or Lenders (in consultation with the Borrower) pursuant to this Section 2.16, 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, 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 hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section
2.16. 

the Agent will promptly so
notify the Borrower and each Lender. 
 (d) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the
Borrower’sUpon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make
SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the
instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of
such notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period,
, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowingborrowing
 of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period andSOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to
Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Base Rate based upon LIBOR Rate will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been
converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.8(b).
Subject to Section 2.20, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term
SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on
ABR Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR” until the Agent revokes such determination. 

  
 66 














2.17
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 office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge
interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any
right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which ABR Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”, in each case until each affected Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, (i) the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR
Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may
not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of
“ABR,” in each case until the Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.8(b).

Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will
become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment
to all
affected Lenders
 and the Borrower so long as the 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 2.20 will
 occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 
 (b)
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption
or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from
time to time in consultation with the Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such

from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.20. 

  
 72 














(d)
Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current
Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable
discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will
be no longer representative, then the 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, non-representative,
non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or
(B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the 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. 

(e)
Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a
Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark
Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into
a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 2.8(b). During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period is not an Available Tenor, the

and hereafter acquired or arising Borrower Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all of the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and in order to secure the prompt performance by Borrower
of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower Collateral shall not include any Retained Interest or Excluded Amounts, and Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or grant a security interest
in any such items. The Agent’s Liens in and to the Borrower Collateral shall attach to all Borrower Collateral without further act on the part of Agent or Borrower. Anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, except for Permitted Dispositions, Borrower has no authority, express or implied, to dispose of any item or portion of the Collateral.

Negotiable Collateral other than Notes Receivable previously delivered to and being held by Agent or Collateral Custodian, Borrower shall promptly endorse and deliver physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral and all agreements and documents
related thereto to Collateral Custodian. All Notes Receivable shall be delivered to Agent or Collateral Custodian pursuant to this Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement to hold for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, along with a duly
executed Assignment of Note.

any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent or Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of Borrower and makers of Notes Receivable that the applicable Accounts, Notes Receivable, chattel
paper, or General Intangibles have been assigned to Agent or that Agent has a security interest therein, (b) cause a replacement servicer (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer with respect to Split-Funded Notes Receivable) to
take possession of, and collect, Borrower’s Accounts or (c) collect such Accounts, Notes Receivable, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. Borrower agrees that it
will hold in trust for the Lender Group, as the Lender Group’s trustee, any of its Collections that it receives and immediately will deliver such Collections to Servicer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or, at the request of Agent,
to Agent, in each case in their original form as received by Borrower. 
 4.4 Filing of Financing Statements; Commercial Tort Claims;
Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. 
 (a) Borrower authorizes Agent to file any financing statement necessary or
desirable to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of Borrower where permitted by applicable law.
Borrower hereby ratifies the filing of any financing statement filed without the signature of Borrower prior to the date hereof. 
 (b) If
Borrower acquires any commercial tort claims after the date hereof, Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days after such acquisition) deliver to Agent a written description of such commercial tort claim and shall
deliver a written agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, pursuant to which Borrower shall grant a perfected security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to such commercial tort claim to Agent, as security for the
Obligations (a “Commercial Tort Claim Assignment”). 
 (c) At any time upon the request of Agent, Borrower shall execute or
deliver to Agent, any and all fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, Commercial Tort Claim Assignments, endorsements of certificates of title, and all other documents (collectively, the “Additional Documents”)
that Agent may request in its Permitted Discretion, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, to create, perfect, and continue perfected or to better perfect the Agent’s Liens in the assets of Borrower (whether now owned or hereafter arising
or acquired, tangible or intangible, real or personal), and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower authorizes Agent to
execute any such Additional Documents in Borrower’s name and authorizes Agent to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. 

4.5 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s officers,
employees, or agents designated by Agent) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney, with power to, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) if Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver
any of the documents described in Section 4.4, sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.4, (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Collateral, drafts
against Account Debtors, or notices to Account Debtors, (c) send requests or make telephone inquiries for verification of Borrower’s Accounts or Notes Receivable, (d) endorse Borrower’s name on any of its payment items (including
all of its Collections) that may come into the Lender 

  
 78 













 
Group’s possession, (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s policies of insurance and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of
insurance, and (f) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting Borrower’s Accounts, Notes Receivable, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly with Account Debtors or makers of Notes Receivable, for amounts and upon terms that
Agent determines to be reasonable, in Agent’s Permitted Discretion, and Agent may cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases that Agent determines to be necessary. The appointment of Agent as Borrower’s attorney, and
each and every one of its rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully and finally repaid and performed and the Lender Group’s obligations to extend credit hereunder are
terminated. 
 4.6 Right to Inspect and Verify. 

(a) Subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.13(c), Agent (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have
the right, from time to time hereafter (i) to inspect the Books and make copies or abstracts thereof, (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in connection with an audit, to communicate directly with
any and all Account Debtors and makers of Notes Receivable to verify the existence and terms thereof (provided, that (A) Agent shall notify Borrower prior to communicating directly with an Account Debtor or maker of Notes Receivable and
(B) any such communication shall be in the presence of Borrower’s or HCI’s officers (and Borrower and HCI shall use reasonable efforts to make such officers available)), and (iii) to check, test, and appraise the Collateral, or
any portion thereof, in order to verify Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral (provided, that so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of only one such check, test or appraisal per fiscal year, which costs and expenses shall not exceed $25,000 in the aggregate per annum for all such checks, tests
and appraisals collectively); and Borrower shall permit any designated representative of Agent to visit and inspect any of the properties of Borrower to inspect and to discuss its finances and properties and Collateral, upon reasonable notice and at
such reasonable times during normal business hours. 
 (b) Subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.13(c), Borrower
shall, with respect to each of its properties or facilities, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice: (i) provide access to such facilities or properties to Agent, any Lender and any of their respective officers,
employees and agents, as frequently as Agent determines to be appropriate; (ii) permit Agent, any Lender and any of their respective officers, employees and agents to inspect, examine, audit and make extracts from all of its Books and Records;
(iii) permit Agent, any Lender and any of their respective officers, employees and agents to inspect, review, evaluate and make physical verifications and appraisals of the Collateral in any manner and through any medium that Agent considers
advisable, including pursuant to field audits; and (iv) permit Agent, any Lender and any of their respective officers, employees and agents to discuss with its officers and its independent certified public accountants (in the presence of
Borrower’s or HCI’s officers (and Borrower and HCI shall use reasonable efforts to make such officers available)), its business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects and permit its
independent certified public accountants to release to Agent whatever financial information concerning HCI or the Borrower as Agent may reasonably requests, provided that Agent shall schedule such visits on behalf of Lenders and shall
(1) coordinate in good faith 

  
 79 













 
with Lenders to determine dates which are acceptable to a majority of Lenders and (2) provide five (5) days’ prior notice to Lenders of any such visit and any Lender shall be
permitted to accompany Agent in such visit. Borrower shall provide to Agent, at Borrower’s expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with respect thereto; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing Borrower shall be responsible for the expenses of only one such visit per fiscal year. Representatives of Lenders may accompany Agent’s representatives on inspections and audits. Borrower shall make available to
Agent and its counsel, as quickly as practicable under the circumstances, originals or copies of all of Borrower’s Books and Records and any other instruments and documents that Agent may reasonably request. Borrower shall deliver any document
or instrument reasonably necessary for Agent, as it may from time to time request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person that maintains records for Borrower. If considered necessary by the Agent (in its Permitted Discretion),
Borrower shall execute an authorization letter addressed to its accountants authorizing Agent or any Lender to discuss the financial affairs of Borrower with its accountants in the presence of an officer of HCI and HCI will make their officers
reasonably available. 
 4.7 Control Agreements. Borrower agrees that it will and will cause its Subsidiaries to take any or
all reasonable steps in order for Agent to obtain control in accordance with Sections 8-106, 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the Code with respect to all of its or their Securities Accounts, Deposit Accounts, electronic chattel paper, Investment
Property, and letter-of-credit rights. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may from time to time notify any bank or securities intermediary to liquidate the applicable Deposit Account or Securities Account or
any related Investment Property maintained or held thereby and remit the proceeds thereof to Agent’s Account. 
 4.8 Servicing of
Notes Receivable. Until such time as Agent shall notify Borrower of the revocation of such right after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower (a) shall, at its own expense (including through the
application of available funds pursuant to Section 2.3(b)), cause Servicer to service all of the Notes Receivable, including, without limitation, (i) the billing, posting and maintaining complete records applicable thereto, and
(ii) taking of such action with respect to the Notes Receivable as Borrower may deem advisable, and (b) may grant, in the ordinary course of business, to any maker of a Note Receivable, any adjustment to which such maker may be lawfully
entitled, and may take such other actions relating to the settling of any such maker’s claims as may be commercially reasonable, but in each case in accordance with Borrower’s Required Procedures. Agent may, at its option, at any time or
from time to time, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, revoke the collection and servicing rights given to Borrower herein by giving notice to Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement. 
 4.9 Release of Notes Receivable. 

(a) When a Note Receivable that is in the possession of Agent or Collateral Custodian is repaid in its entirety (or in connection with a
restructuring, workout or insolvency involving the applicable Account Debtor), Agent shall return or shall authorize Collateral Custodian to return such Note Receivable to Borrower to facilitate its payment and Agent shall release the Agent’s
Liens in such Note Receivable promptly upon receipt of the final payment relating to such Note Receivable. 

  
 80

Agreement, Agent shall release the Agent’s Liens in such Note Receivable and if such Note Receivable is in the possession of Agent or Collateral Custodian, Agent shall transfer or shall authorize Collateral Custodian to transfer such Note
Receivable to the purchaser thereof or as otherwise directed by such purchaser against payment of the agreed amount therefor. 
 (c) In the
event Borrower’s collateral assignment to Agent of any mortgage and loan documents relating to a Note Receivable has been recorded and such Note Receivable is (i) repaid in its entirety, (ii) sold by Borrower in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or (iii) in default and Borrower is commencing foreclosure proceedings against the Note Receivable Collateral securing such Note Receivable, then Agent shall, at Borrower’s sole expense, execute a reassignment or
release of such mortgage and loan documents for the benefit of Borrower on forms prepared by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Agent.

except for such permits, licenses, authorizations, approvals, entitlements and accreditations the absence of which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. To Borrower’s knowledge, no condition exists or event
has occurred which, in itself or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any such permit, license, authorization, approval, entitlement or
accreditation, the loss of which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, and, to Borrower’s knowledge, there is no claim that any thereof is not in full force and effect. Schedule 5.22 lists, as of the
Closing Date, all of the licenses, franchises, approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or other Person that is required for Borrower to conduct its business as currently conducted or proposed to be conducted except for such licenses,

(m) (i) Either Servicer or Borrower fails to comply, in any material respect, with its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
(subject to applicable grace periods thereunder), or (ii) if applicable, Special Servicer fails to comply, in any material respect, with its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement (subject to applicable grace periods thereunder); 

  
 101 













 (n) Any provision of any Loan Document that Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems to be
material shall at any time for any reason be declared to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by Borrower or by HCI, or a proceeding shall be commenced by Borrower or by HCI, or by any Governmental Authority

a party; 
 (o) If any of the individuals serving as of the Closing Date (or serving thereafter as a replacement acceptable to the Agent) as

ninety (90) days (or any such extended period as agreed by to Agent in its Permitted Discretion); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of an interim Chief Executive Officer or interim Chief Financial Officer shall
constitute the replacement of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, respectively, ceasing to be actively involved in the business of Borrower or HCI (as applicable); or 

(p) Borrower fails to maintain at least seven (7) different Account Debtors with respect to Eligible Notes Receivable in the Collateral

requirements of Section 7.17(b), HCI or any other Person designated by Borrower shall have the right, within ten (10) days after an Authorized Person of HCI or Borrower acquires knowledge or is given notice of such failure to
comply, to make a direct or indirect equity investment in Borrower in cash in the form of common Equity Interests or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the
receipt by Borrower of net cash proceeds pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right (the “Cure Amount”), such covenant(s) shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma of the total shareholder’s equity of Borrower for the
period in which Borrower failed to comply with Section 7.17(b) in an amount equal to such Cure Amount; provided that such pro forma adjustment to total shareholder’s equity shall be given solely for the purpose of determining
the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 7.17(b) and not for any other purpose under any Loan Document. 

(b) If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a) above, Borrower shall then be in
compliance with the requirements of Section 7.17(b), as applicable, Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 7.17(b), as applicable, as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect
as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1(b) that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided that the Cure Right may be exercised on no
more than two (2) occasions during the term of this Agreement. 

  
 102 













 9. THE LENDER GROUP’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, Required Lenders (at their
election but without notice of their election and without demand) may authorize and instruct Agent to do any one or more of the following on behalf of the Lender Group (and Agent, acting upon the instructions of Required Lenders, shall do the same
on behalf of the Lender Group), all of which are authorized by Borrower: 
 (a) Declare all or any portion of the Obligations (other than
the Bank Product Obligations), whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of
such Obligations in full; 
 (b) Declare the Revolving Credit Availability Period and the Commitments terminated, whereupon the Revolving
Credit Availability Period and the Commitments shall immediately be terminated together with any obligation of any Lender to advance money or extend credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or
under any other agreement between Borrower and the Lender Group; 
 (c) Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to
any future liability or obligation of the Lender Group, but without affecting any of the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations; 

(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Borrower’s Account Debtors and makers of Notes Receivable for amounts and upon
terms which Agent considers advisable, and in such cases, Agent will credit Borrower’s Loan Account with only the net amounts received by Agent in payment of such disputed Accounts or Notes Receivable after deducting all Lender Group Expenses
incurred or expended in connection therewith; 
 (e) Exercise or assign any and all rights to collect, manage, and service the Notes
Receivable, including, (i) receive, process and account for all Collections in respect of Notes Receivable, (ii) terminate the Sale and Servicing Agreement and assign servicing responsibilities to any replacement servicer,
(iii) without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make any payments as are reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any other agreement that Agent enters into with any replacement servicer, and
(iv) take all lawful actions and procedures which Agent or such assignee deems necessary to collect the amounts due to Borrower in connection with Notes Receivable (all amounts incurred by Agent pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) shall
be Lender Group Expenses); 
 (f) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any other Person, make such payments and do such acts as
Agent considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Collateral if Agent so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Agent at a place that Agent may designate which is
reasonably convenient to both parties. Borrower authorizes Agent to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien that
in Agent’s determination appears to conflict with the priority of the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral and to pay all expenses incurred in connection 

  
 103 













 
therewith and to charge Borrower’s Loan Account therefor. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned or leased premises, Borrower hereby grants Agent a license to enter into possession of
such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of the Lender Group’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; 

(g) Without notice to Borrower (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting an acceptance of any collateral in full or
partial satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by the Lender Group (including any amounts in the Borrower Accounts), or
(ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by the Lender Group; 
 (h) Hold, as cash
collateral, any and all balances and deposits of Borrower held by the Lender Group, and any amounts in any Borrower Account, to secure the full and final repayment of all of the Obligations; 

(i) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for
herein) the Borrower Collateral. Borrower hereby grants to Agent a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Borrower Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Borrower Collateral and Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to
the Lender Group’s benefit; 
 (j) Sell the Borrower Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more
contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Agent determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Borrower Collateral be present at any such sale;

 (k) Except in those circumstances where no notice is required under the Code, Agent shall give notice of the disposition of the Borrower
Collateral as follows: 
 (i) Agent shall give Borrower a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the
sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Borrower Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; and 

(ii) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 12, at
least 10 days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Borrower Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of
a type customarily sold on a recognized market; 
 (l) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;


  
 104 













 (m) Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of all or any
portion of the Borrower Collateral or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing; 

(n) Exercise any and all rights of Borrower under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or assume or assign (including, without limitation, to the
Special Servicer pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise) any and all rights and responsibilities to collect, manage, and service the Notes Receivables, including (i) the responsibility for the receipt, processing and accounting
for all payments on account of the Notes Receivables, (ii) periodically sending demand notices and statements to the Account Debtors or makers of Notes Receivable, (iii) enforcing legal rights with respect to the Notes Receivables,
including hiring attorneys to do so to the extent Agent or such assignee deems such engagement necessary, and (iv) taking all lawful actions and procedures which Agent or such assignee deems necessary to collect the Notes Receivables, and all
such amounts shall be Lender Group Expenses; and 
 (o) The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document. 
 The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 8.1(e), in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrower or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the Revolving Credit Availability Period and the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations), inclusive of all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and all other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall automatically and immediately
become due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower. 

9.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all
other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an
election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. 

10. TAXES AND EXPENSES. 
 If Borrower
fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments or insurance premiums) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement (except where the
failure to make such payment or deposit is due to a good faith dispute between Borrower and such third Person), then, Agent, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to Borrower, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of
the same or any part thereof or (b) set up such reserves against the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount as Agent deems necessary to protect the Lender Group from the exposure created by such failure. Any such amounts paid by Agent
shall 

  
 105 













 
constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of
Default under this Agreement. Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due
and owing. 
 11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION. 

11.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment
and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which Borrower may in any way be liable. 

11.2 The Lender Group’s Liability for Borrower Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Agent complies
with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Borrower Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner
or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the
Borrower Collateral shall be borne by Borrower. 
 11.3 Indemnification. (a) Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and
hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, the Lender-Related Persons with respect to each Lender, each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts and consultants and other reasonable costs
and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred
by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrower’s compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, and (c) in
connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities and Costs or Remedial
Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person
under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower 

  
 106 













 
was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto.
If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such
payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto. If Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Liabilities to any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 11.3 and such Indemnified
Person thereafter collects any of such amounts from others or is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to such indemnification, such Indemnified Person will promptly repay such amounts collected to Borrower, without interest.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Borrower be liable to an Indemnified Person for any special, indirect, consequential, remote, speculative or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages), even if
Borrower has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action, and each Indemnified Person hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and
whether or not known or suspected. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF
SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. 
 12. NOTICES. 

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by Borrower or Agent to the other relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid,
return receipt requested), overnight courier, electronic mail (at such email addresses as Borrower or Agent, as applicable, may designate to each other in accordance herewith), or telefacsimile to Borrower or Agent, as the case may be, at its

14. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS. 

14.1 Assignments and Participations. 

(a) Any Lender may, upon Agent’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), assign and
delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) that are Eligible Transferees all or any portion of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, in a minimum amount (unless waived by Agent) of $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not apply to (x) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or (y) a group of new
Lenders, each of whom is an Affiliate of each other or a fund or account managed by any such new Lender or an Affiliate of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000);
provided, however, that Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice


  
 110 













 
of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Servicer, Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the
Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Servicer, Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 14.1(b), and
(iii) unless waived by Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, further, that no assignment or participation shall be made at
any time to Competitors (other than in the case of an Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a), (c), (d), (e) or (p)) and any such assignment or participation shall be void ab initio. Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the payment of any fees shall not be required and the Assignee need not be an Eligible Transferee if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all
or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the assigning Lender. 
 (b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the
assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.3 hereof) and be released from any future obligations
under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall effect a novation among Borrower, the assigning Lender, and the Assignee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive
the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 16 and Section 17.7(a) of this Agreement. 

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such
assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to
enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, 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 this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent, by
the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.


  
 111 













 (d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and
delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 14.1(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of
the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto. 

(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (excluding, in each case, so long
as no Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a), (c), (d), (e) or (p) has occurred and is continuing, any Competitor) (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of
its Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall
remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender
hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Agent, and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided
herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender,
or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if
amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through
the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrower, the Collections, the Collateral,
or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by Lenders among themselves. 

  
 112 













 (f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.7, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its and its Subsidiaries and their respective business. 

(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any
portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce
such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
 (h) Agent may, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes
Agent, to provide the Competitor List from time to time to each Lender requesting the same. 
 14.2 Successors. This Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Lenders’ prior written
consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties
hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. 

15. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 
 15.1
Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter), and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of Required Lenders) and Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall: 
 (a) increase or extend any Commitment of
any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or
any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts
payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (d) change the
Pro Rata Share that is required to take any action hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

  
 113 













 (e) amend or modify this Section or any provision of this Agreement providing for consent or
other action by all Lenders without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (f) other than as permitted by
Section 16.12, release Agent’s Lien in and to any of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(g) change the definitions of “Maximum Revolver Amount,” “Amortization Commencement Date,” “Amortization Commencement
Date Principal Balance,” “Amortization Period,” “Required Amortization Amount” “Required Lenders”, “Revolving Credit Availability Period” or “Pro Rata Share” without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (h) contractually subordinate any of the Agent’s Liens without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; 
 (i) release Borrower from any obligation for the payment of money without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; or 
 (j) change the definitions of “Borrowing Base” or “Eligible Notes Receivable” without
the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 provided, further, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, or Swingline Lender, as applicable, affect the rights or duties of Agent or Swingline Lender, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, in the case of Agent,
Section 2.3(b)(i) and Section 16). The foregoing notwithstanding, (x) any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrower, shall not require consent by or the agreement of Borrower, and (y) any amendment, waiver,
modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender. 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 15.1, any amendment to this Agreement that only adds one or more additional lenders as a Lender
under this Agreement or adds or increases the amount of a Lender’s Commitment shall be effective if signed by the additional or existing Lender whose Commitment is added or increased thereby, Borrower and Agent, and shall not require the
consent of Required Lenders or any other Lender. 
 Furthermore, notwithstanding any provision in this Section 15.1, any amendment to this
Agreement pursuant to: (x) Section 16.21 below shall not require the consent of any Lender or (y) Section 2.16 shall be subject only to the requirements set forth in such section. 

  
 114 













 15.2 Replacement of Holdout Lender. 

(a) If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all
Lenders, and a Lender (“Holdout Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender
with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a “Replacement Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such
replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. 
 (b) Prior to the effective date of
such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or
penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and
delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 14.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations,
the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Advances. 

15.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically
stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s
rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have. 

16. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP. 
 16.1
Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints MUFG as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver
each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by
the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 16. The provisions of this
Section 16 are solely for the benefit of Agent, and Lenders and Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or
in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (including Swingline
Lender), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use
of the word “Agent” is for convenience only, that MUFG is merely the representative of Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except 

  
 115 













 
as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or
refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents
that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and
records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments,
proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the
Collections as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to
the Collateral and the Collections, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrower, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections, or otherwise related to any of same as
provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

16.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through
agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as
long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 16.3 Liability of Agent. None of the
Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related
Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the Books or
properties of Borrower or the books or records or properties of any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 

  
 116 













 16.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed
by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other
experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Lenders as it deems appropriate and
until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of
the requisite Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of Lenders. 

16.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders and, except with respect to any Default or Event of Default of which Agent
has actual knowledge, and unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent
promptly will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and
Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 16.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be
requested by Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 
 16.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender
acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank
regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document.
Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. 

  
 117 













 16.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group
Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and
expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether
or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections received by Agent to reimburse Agent
for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrower and each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to
Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of
any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension
of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees
and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights
or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section
shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 
 16.8 Agent in Individual
Capacity. MUFG and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or
other business with Borrower and its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though MUFG were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of
the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, MUFG or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in
favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to Lenders, and Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will
use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include MUFG in its individual capacity. 

  
 118 













 16.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days’ notice to
Lenders (unless such notice is waived by Required Lenders). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent for Lenders. If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as Swingline
Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as Swingline Lender and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to make Swingline Loans. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of
the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, Required Lenders may agree in writing
to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among Lenders. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring
Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this
Section 16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 45 days following a retiring
Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Lenders appoint a successor Agent as
provided for above. 
 16.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue
letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Affiliates and any other Person
party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and
its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the
disclosure of such information to Lenders, and Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender
shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Swingline Loans and Agent Advances, Swingline Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the sub-agent of Agent. 
 16.11 Withholding Taxes. 

(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other
defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes except as required by applicable law. In the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes other than
(A) net income taxes (however denominated) or franchise taxes, and in each case imposed on a Lender as a result of (a) such Lender being organized under the laws of, or having its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction
imposing such tax or (b) a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (B) any tax similar to


  
 119 













 
branch profits taxes imposed by the United States that are imposed by any jurisdiction described in clause (A) above, (C) any taxes that are attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the requirements of Section 16.11(b), (D) any withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time that such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or changed its lending office, except to
the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, or such Lender was entitled, immediately before it changed its lending office, to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such withholding
taxes pursuant to this Section 16.11(a), or (E) any amounts withheld pursuant to FATCA (all Taxes other than those described in (A) through (E) being “Non-Excluded Taxes”) from any such payment is
required, Borrower shall comply with the penultimate sentence of this Section 16.11(a). “Taxes” shall mean, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter
imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are so levied or
imposed, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such payment due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this
Section 16.11(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts if
the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after
the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrower. 

(b) If a Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of United States withholding tax with respect to a payment made under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent and Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient): 

(i) if such Lender is a Foreign Lender and claims an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio
interest exception, (A) a statement of Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a “10% shareholder” of Borrower (within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and (B) a
properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower; 

(ii) if such Lender is a Foreign Lender and claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States
tax treaty, A) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or 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 B) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS 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, each before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower; 

  
 120 













 (iii) if such Lender is a Foreign Lender and claims that interest paid under
this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, or any applicable successor form
before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower; 

(iv) if such Lender is not a beneficial owner, executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form
W-8ECI, IRS Form W-9, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate for one or more direct or indirect partners of the Lender that are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, or any successor form, as applicable, that is required under the IRC or other laws
of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower; or 

(v) such other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a
condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower. 

Such Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction. 
 (c) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to United States federal
withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Agent
and Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower as may be necessary for them to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. 
 Such Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Borrower of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (d) If a Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax in a
jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction
of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower. 

  
 121 













 Such Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify
or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (e) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such
Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify Agent and Borrower of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial
owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent and Borrower will treat such Lender’s documentation provided pursuant to Sections 16.11(b) or 16.11(c) as no longer valid. With
respect to such percentage amount, such Lender may provide new documentation, pursuant to Sections 16.11(b) or 16.11(c), if applicable. 

(f) if any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an
amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by Sections 16.11(b) or 16.11(c) are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any
interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. 

(g) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent or Borrower did not
properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender due to a failure on the part of Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or Borrower
of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent and Borrower harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by
Agent or Borrower, as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent or Borrower under this Section 16.11, together with all costs and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees and expenses). 
 (h) The obligations of Lenders under this Section 16.11 shall survive the
payment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations, the termination of the Commitments, the resignation or replacement of Agent, and assignment of rights by, or replacement of, a Lender. 

16.12 Collateral Matters. 

(a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to
authorize) Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a
release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if such sale or disposition is a Permitted Disposition or Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 7.4 (and Agent may rely
conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property in which Borrower owned no interest at the time Agent’s Lien was granted 

  
 122 













 
nor at any time thereafter. Borrower and Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, based
upon the instruction of Required Lenders, to (a) consent to, credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition
thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at
any other sale or foreclosure conducted by Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, the Obligations owed to Lenders and the Bank Product Providers shall be
entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not unduly delay the ability of Agent to
credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such claims cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to
any interest in the asset or assets purchased by means of such credit bid) and Lenders and the Bank Product Providers whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations
credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). Except as provided above, Agent will
not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank
Product Providers), or (z) otherwise, Required Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers). Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time, Lenders will (and if so requested, the Bank Product Providers will)
confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 16.12; provided, however, that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any
document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty,
and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower, including,
the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
 (b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever
to any of Lenders (or the Bank Product Providers) to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof or whether to impose, maintain, reduce, or
eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the
rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, 

  
 123 













 
or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the
Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein. 

16.13 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. 

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully
entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or any deposit accounts of Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees
that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security
interest in, any of the Collateral. 
 (b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or
otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available
funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such excess
payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to
such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. 

16.14 Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such
appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control
of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. 

16.15 Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal
transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion
thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations. 

  
 124 













 16.16 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the
Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of Lenders. 

16.17 Field Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming
a party to this Agreement, each Lender: 
 (a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes
available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports, 

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and
(ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrower and will rely significantly upon the Books, as well as on representations of
Borrower’s personnel, 
 (d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its
operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.7, and 

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any
other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that
the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrower, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and
hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender
preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 In
addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Borrower to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by
Borrower to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or
information from Borrower, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrower the additional reports or
information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Borrower, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent
shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender. 

  
 125 













 16.18 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the
Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder
shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the
amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender.
Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any
other Lender. Except as provided in Section 16.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure
by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing
contemplated herein. 
 16.19 Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary
hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a
Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents, and to have provided Agent with the same authorizations,
representations, acknowledgments and consents made by each Lender under the preceding Sections 16.1 through 16.18; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents
consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully
set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain,
relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection
with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a
reasonably detailed calculation) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Agent shall have no obligation to
calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be
entitled 

  
 126 













 
to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any
distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although Borrower is not required to do so. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has
committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing
thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (except the Bank Product Agreements
of the applicable Bank Product Provider), including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral. 
 16.20
No other duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither of the Joint Lead Arrangers nor any other agent (other than Agent) listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender hereunder. 
 16.21 Acknowledgment and
Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA Financial
Institution, its parent entity, 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 any EEA Resolution Authority.

17.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose
signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof. 
 17.2 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth
herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement. 

17.3 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group
or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly
the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 
 17.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall
be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 17.4, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by Agent or Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect
only to the extent not so limited. 
 17.5 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this
Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability,
and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. 
 17.6 Revival and
Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by Borrower or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal
law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable
Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount
thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrower automatically shall be revived, reinstated,
and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made. 

  
 128 













 17.7 Confidentiality. 

(a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding
Borrower, its operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Agent and Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except:
(i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, agents, director or indirect counterparties in connection with swaps or derivatives, market data collectors, rating agencies and consultants to any member of the Lender Group,

Section 17.7, (iii) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (iv) as may be agreed to in advance by Borrower or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority
pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (v) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent or Lenders), (vi) in connection with any
assignment, prospective assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation or prospective participations, or pledge or prospective pledge of Agent’s or such Lender’s interest under this Agreement (in each case, other than to a Competitor of
HCI or the Borrower), provided that any such assignee, prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective purchaser, participant, prospective participant, pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder
subject to an agreement with terms substantially similar to the terms of this Section 17.7(a), and (vii) in connection with any actual or proposed exercise of remedies hereunder or litigation or other adversary proceeding involving
parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 17.7(a) shall survive for two
(2) years after the payment in full of the Obligations. 
 (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent may
provide information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services. 

17.8 Lender Group Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay any and all Lender Group Expenses promptly after demand therefor by Agent and

[Reserved].  

17.10 Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee
or otherwise, for any Bank Product Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with
respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special
Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of
New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,
the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit
Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in
property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights
under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under
the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies
of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.  

17.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements, if any, are
independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit
extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreement.

 17.12 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), Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees and acknowledges its Affiliates’
understanding that that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one
hand, and Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate,
and (C) Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents;
(ii) (A) Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and each Lender are and have been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, have not been, are not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent
or fiduciary, for Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender has any obligation to Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any
of such interests to Borrower, any other Loan Party of any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waive and release, any claims that it may have against Agent, the
Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 

17.13 Effect of Second
Amendment. On and after the Second Amendment Effective Date: 

(a) each
reference in the Loan Documents to the “Loan and Security Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement as amended by the Second
Amendment. Except as specifically amended by the Second Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed and the Second Amendment shall not be considered a
novation; 
 (b) all references in the Loan Documents to the “Agent” shall be deemed to be references to MUFG Bank, Ltd., in its
capacity as successor agent pursuant to the Agency Assignment Agreement; 
 (c) the Obligations of each Loan Party shall remain in full force and effect without setoff, defense, counter-claim or claims
in recoupment. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms its pledges, grants of security interests or other similar rights or obligations (if any), as applicable, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and such remain in full force and
effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party further agrees (A) that any reference to “Obligations” contained in any Loan Document shall include, without limitation, the “Obligations” as such
term is defined in the Loan Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment and (B) that the related guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests contained in such Loan Documents shall include and extend to such Obligations;
and

(d) Schedule
C-1 shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the changes therein to the Maximum Revolver Amount and the changes to the other Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares. In accordance with Section 2.18, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date,
(I) each Lender’s Pro Rata Share shall be recalculated to reflect the new proportionate share of the revised total Commitments and increased Maximum Revolver Amount, and (II) each Lender with an increased Commitment shall make available to
Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as Agent determines, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required to cause, after giving effect to such increase and paying such amounts to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion
of the outstanding Advances of all Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Advances.
