 2. PURCHASE OF NOTES; PAYMENTS; REPLACEMENT NOTES 

Section 2.01 (a) Purchase of Notes. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 7, and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2, on the Funding Date for each Engine Kit, Borrower shall issue to Initial Lender, and Initial Lender shall purchase from Borrower, a Note in a principal amount equal to
the Financed Amount for such Engine Kit, bearing interest at the applicable Interest Rate, designated as having been issued in connection with such Engine Kit and otherwise in the form of Exhibit A (for a Fixed Rate Note) or Exhibit B (for a
Floating Rate Note), as the case may be. The Financed Amount for each Engine Kit shall not exceed 85% (or such lesser percentage as Borrower shall designate) of its NEKP; provided that, if the Funding Date for an Engine Kit is later than the
delivery date of such Engine Kit from the Exporter to Borrower (a “Delivery Date”), the Financed Amount and the Maturity Date for such Engine Kit shall be adjusted as though the financing for such Engine Kit occurred on such
Delivery Date. The aggregate Financed Amount for all of the Engine Kits shall not exceed $11,000,000 (the “Commitment”). Borrower shall not be obligated to draw down all or any part of the Commitment. The ability of Borrower to
issue Notes and the Initial Lender’s obligation to purchase Notes in respect of an Engine Kit shall terminate on the six (6) month anniversary of the Delivery Date in respect of such Engine Kit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ability
of Borrower to issue Notes and the Initial Lender’s obligation to purchase Notes pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the three (3) month anniversary of the Delivery Date in respect of the last Engine Kit
and (ii) November 4, 2015 (the “Commitment Termination Date”). 
 (b) Premium Rate. The
“Premium Rate” in respect of each Note shall be 2.66% per annum (which includes a 0.05% administration fee in accordance with ASU). The Premium Rate, is not subject to adjustment, so long as no Funding Date occurs later than the
Commitment Termination Date. 
 Section 2.02 Procedure for Purchase of Notes. (a) At least three
(3) Business Days prior to each proposed Funding Date, Borrower shall provide a funding notice in respect of such Engine Kit substantially in the form of Exhibit C (“Funding Notice”) to the Lender and Lender’s counsel. The
Funding Notice shall be in writing and shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date, (ii) the Financed Amount for such Engine Kit, (iii) the wiring instructions for the Financed Amount to be disbursed to Borrower (or its designee),
(iv) Borrower’s election of either the Floating Rate or the Fixed Rate for the Note in respect of such Engine Kit and (v) the Maturity Date for the Note in respect of such Engine Kit. On the appropriate Funding Date, upon fulfillment of
the conditions set forth in Section 7, Initial Lender will purchase from Borrower the Note related to the Engine Kit that Borrower designated for that date for a purchase price equal to the face amount thereof (as set forth in
Section 2.01(a)) by transferring the Financed Amount for each relevant Engine Kit to Borrower (or its designee). Subject to Section 2.01(a) and the following sentence, the amortization schedule for each Note shall be calculated on the
basis that such Note shall be repayable in twenty (20) equal consecutive quarterly installments and shall amortize on a straight-line basis. Promptly upon determination by a Lender of LIBOR for any subsequent Interest Period for each Floating
Rate Note, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower.

 Section 2.03 Replacement Notes. If (a) any Note becomes
mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen, or destroyed or (b) Borrower or a Lender otherwise reasonably requests, then, upon the request of Borrower or any Lender, (x) Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Lender a replacement Note for
each such Note as to which such a request is made, and (y) such Lender shall surrender to Borrower, in exchange for such replacement Note, the Note being replaced (if not lost, stolen, or destroyed). As conditions precedent to the replacement
of any Note, the applicant for a new Note shall furnish to Borrower evidence to Borrower’s reasonable satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction of such Note alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and of the ownership and
authenticity of such mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen, or destroyed Note, and also such security and indemnity as Borrower reasonably requires (provided, that the written undertaking of the Initial Lender or any institutional holder of a Note
having a net worth (or in the case of a bank, having combined capital, surplus, and undivided profits) of at least $100,000,000 to hold harmless Borrower in respect of the execution, authentication and delivery of such new Note shall be sufficient
security and indemnity), and shall pay all expenses and charges of such substitution or exchange. All Notes shall be issued, held, and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive in respect of the replacement of
mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen, or destroyed Notes and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights and remedies, any present or future law or statute to the contrary notwithstanding. Each replacement Note shall have identical
terms as the Note that it replaces, except for such changes as Borrower and the Lenders agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) following a request by any of them for such a change. 

Section 2.04 Obligations Absolute. Borrower’s obligations under each Note shall be absolute,
unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of such Note and this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Basic Document, or any term or provision therein; 

(b) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other right that Borrower (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower) or any other Person
may at any time have against any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; 

(c) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Lenders or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 

Section 2.05 Amortization. Borrower shall pay to the Lenders on each Payment Date, the principal amount set
forth opposite such date in Schedule I to each Note; provided that, in each such case, the principal installment payable on the Maturity Date for any such Note shall in all cases be in an amount equal to the entire principal amount of such Note
outstanding on such date, and such principal installment shall be paid together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder and under the other Basic Documents.

4. PAYMENTS BY BORROWER 

Section 4.01 How Payments Are Made. Borrower shall make its payments and prepayments of principal and
interest due on the Notes, and all other amounts payable by Borrower to any Lender under the Basic Documents, to the credit of such account as such Lender may from time to time notify the Borrower in immediately available funds and in Dollars, no
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date when due. Any payment made by Borrower to Lender after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day. Subject to the adjustments
required by the definition of Payment Date, if any payment due under the Basic Documents comes due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be made on the following Business Day, and interest shall accrue at the applicable
rate to the day of payment (except that no additional interest shall accrue on any Fixed Rate Note if the payment thereon is made on such following Business Day). 

Section 4.02 Right to Prepay. Provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have
the right at any time on or after the initial Payment Date in respect of an Engine Kit to prepay all or part of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes issued with respect to the applicable designated Engine Kit; provided that any partial
prepayment of the Notes with respect to an Engine Kit shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the most recent scheduled principal payment required pursuant to such Notes. Borrower shall give to Lender at least thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) of such prepayment (which notice shall specify the date on which such prepayment shall be made, and the Notes to which such prepayment applies). Upon any prepayment of any
Note under this Section 4.02, Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal of that Note to (but excluding) the date of prepayment, and all amounts payable under Section 10.02 with respect to such prepayment. Amounts
prepaid shall not be available for re-borrowing. 
 Section 4.03
Mandatory Prepayments. Upon acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.02, Borrower shall prepay such Notes, and shall pay all amounts payable under Section 10.02 with respect to such prepayment. To the extent required by
Section 10.04, Borrower shall prepay any relevant Notes in accordance with the terms of Section 10.04 and such Notes. 

Section 4.04 Amount of Prepayment. Subject to Section 4.06, a Note shall be deemed satisfied in full
upon the prepayment of all principal of such Note, the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on or with respect to such Note as of such prepayment date, the payment of all past-due interest on or with
respect to such Note, and the payment of all amounts payable under Section 10.02 with respect to such prepayment. 

  
 11 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 Section 4.05 Interest on Past Due Amounts. Any amounts past
due (by acceleration or otherwise) and at any time outstanding under any Note or from Borrower under any Basic Document shall (to the extent permitted by law) bear interest, payable on demand, from the due date (and shall be compounded on a
quarterly basis) until (but excluding the date of) payment in full, at a rate equal to 2.00% per annum above the Interest Rate for the relevant Note (the “Default Rate”). 

Section 4.06 Limit on Interest Payable. The amount of interest due or payable under this Agreement or any
Note shall not in any event exceed the maximum allowable by applicable law, and this sentence shall override any contrary provision in this Agreement or any Note. 

Section 4.07 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED1. 

Section 4.08 Changes in Market. If on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day three (3) Business Days
prior to any Interest Period in respect of a Floating Rate Note, any Lender determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that: 

(x) by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period in accordance with the definition thereof; or 
 (y) by reason of circumstances
affecting the London interbank market, LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding the loan in respect of such Floating Rate Note for such Interest Period, 

then such Lender will promptly so notify Borrower of a substitute basis for determining an alternate interest rate for such Floating Rate Note, which alternate
basis shall thereafter apply and be binding upon the Borrower and such Lender; provided that, at the Borrower’s request, such Lender and Borrower shall enter into good faith negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days)
with a view to concluding agreement on an acceptable alternate interest rate to be applicable to such Floating Rate Note. In the event the Borrower requests that such Lender enters into negotiations in accordance with the foregoing sentence, in the
absence of any agreement being reached during such thirty (30) day period, the Floating Rate for such Interest Period shall be based on the sum of (A) the cost of funds of such Lender (as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion)
plus (B) the Premium Rate, and (C) the Margin Benchmark applicable to Floating Rate Notes, which rate will be applied retroactively to the beginning of such Interest Period and continue for only so long as either of the conditions set
forth in clauses (x) or (y) above exist. The provisions of this Agreement will be amended to accord with the terms of such substitute basis and Borrower agrees to execute such instruments requested by such Lenders that are in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Borrower to reflect such amendment. If Borrower receives a notice under this Section 4.08, Borrower may at any time thereafter either (A) prepay, in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, the affected Floating
Rate Notes held by such Lenders or (B) request such Lender to transfer, in accordance with Section 13.05(b) hereof, the affected Floating Rate Notes held by such Lender to a financial institution designated by Borrower, at a price equal to
100% of the unpaid principal amount of such Floating Rate Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of transfer, plus any amounts due under Section 10.02(a).

respect of or related to such Note; (b) Commitment Fees, Arrangement Fees and all other amounts due to such Lender under this Agreement and not otherwise provided for under this Section 4.09 in respect of or related to such Note;

consents to the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee, or liquidator of itself or of all or a majority of its property, (2) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (3) commences
a voluntary case under the federal Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect), (4) files a petition seeking to take advantage (as debtor) of any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
winding-up, or composition or readjustment of debts, or (5) fails to controvert in a timely manner, or acquiesces in writing to, any petition filed against it in an involuntary case under the federal
Bankruptcy Code;

 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 a proceeding or case is commenced, without an Obligor’s application or consent, in any
court of competent jurisdiction, seeking (1) its liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, or winding-up, or the composition or readjustment of its debts, (2) the appointment of a trustee, receiver,
custodian, liquidator, or the like of such Obligor or of all or a majority of its assets, or (3) similar relief in respect of such Obligor under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
winding-up, or composition or adjustment of debts, and (if such Obligor is contesting the proceeding on a reasonable basis and in good faith) such proceeding or case continues undismissed, or an order,
judgment, or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing is entered and continues unstayed and in effect, for a period of ninety (90) days; or an order for relief against such Obligor is entered in an involuntary case under the federal
Bankruptcy Code; 
 (g) the Guaranty ceases to be in full force and effect or the Guarantor fails to comply with any material term,
condition or covenant set forth in the Guaranty;

may (and upon its receipt of written request by a Majority in Interest of Lenders shall) declare all Notes to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest,
or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby waives, and all lending commitments hereunder shall terminate. If an Event of Default under Section 8.01(e) or (f) occurs, all Notes automatically shall become immediately due and
payable and all lending commitments hereunder automatically shall immediately terminate, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby waives. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may
exercise any of its rights and remedies under the Basic Documents. 
 9. BORROWER’S INDEMNITIES 

Section 9.01 General Indemnity. (a) General. Borrower assumes liability for, and agrees to
indemnify each Indemnitee, on an After-Tax Basis, against, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein or in any of the other Basic Documents are consummated, any and all Liabilities. 

“Liabilities” means any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims (including claims
involving negligence, strict or absolute liability, liability in tort, and liabilities arising out of violation of laws or regulatory requirements of any kind), suits, actions, costs, expenses, and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against an Indemnitee, whether or not such Indemnitee is indemnified as to such matter by any other Person, relating to or arising


  
 20 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
out of: (aa) any of the Basic Documents or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the enforcement thereof, including any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of Borrower
contained therein or in any document or certificate of Borrower delivered pursuant thereto or the breach of any agreement or covenant by Borrower, or the failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under the Basic Documents, or (bb) the
manufacture, assembly, design, purchase, acceptance, resale, rejection, refinancing, non-use, alteration, replacement, existence, control, refurbishment, service, removal, redelivery, substitution, ownership,
delivery, lease, possession, repossession, return, use, operation, maintenance, condition, overhaul, testing, insuring, transportation, importation, exportation, modification, repair, fitness for use, merchantability, abandonment, sale, return,
storage, transfer of title, or other disposition of an Engine Kit, any Note, or any Engine Kit or any part thereof or any accident in connection therewith whether or not relating to loss or damage to any property, or death or injury of, or other
loss suffered by, any Person (including latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable, strict tort liability, and any claim for patent, trademark, or copyright infringement), or (dd) the offer or sale of any interest in the Engine Kit or any
Note, or (ee) any “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA Section 406 or Code Section 4975(c) in any way relating to, arising out of or resulting from the offer, sale, resale, purchase, delivery or holding of any
Notes or interest thereon or in any transaction contemplated by the Basic Documents, whether occurring before, on, or after the date hereof, or (ff) any violation of any law, relating to the possession, use or maintenance of the Engine Kit. 

However, Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee: (aa) for any Liability arising out of the gross negligence, willful
misconduct, misrepresentation, or breach of contract of such Indemnitee (other than gross negligence imputed to an Indemnitee solely by reason of its interest in any Engine Kit), or such Indemnitee’s ordinary negligence in exercising its right
of inspection, (bb) for any Liability constituting Taxes, whether or not Borrower is required to indemnify therefor pursuant to Section 9.02; provided, that this clause (bb) shall not apply to Taxes (x) taken into consideration in
making any payment pursuant to this Section 9.01 on an After-Tax Basis, or (y) arising out of any “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA Section 406 or Code
Section 4975(c) (but in the case of (y) only to the extent occurring because of a misrepresentation by Borrower), (cc) for any Liability attributable to the sale or other transfer of all or part of such Indemnitee’s interest in any
Engine Kit or any Note other than a sale or other transfer as a result of (e.g., such sale or transfer is viewed by the transferor as the transferor’s “exit strategy” in connection with such Event of Default), or in connection
with the exercise of remedies during the continuance of, an Event of Default, or at Borrower’s request or direction, or as required by any of the Basic Documents, or (dd) any Indemnitee’s liability as a manufacturer or maintenance
provider. 
 Borrower hereby waives and releases any claim now or hereafter existing against any Indemnitee arising out of death or personal
injury to personnel or agents of Borrower or any Affiliate, loss or damage to property of Borrower, its agents, or any Affiliate, which may result from or arise out of the items referred to in clause (bb) of the definition of Liabilities set forth
in this Section 9.01 while any of the Notes are outstanding, including any latent or patent defect, whether or not discoverable, except to the extent any such claim arises out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or misrepresentation of
or breach of its obligations under the Basic Documents by such Indemnitee. 

  
 21 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 (b) Contests. If any claim for a Liability is made against Borrower or any
Indemnitee and such party has received notice thereof, such party receiving notice of such Liability shall promptly notify all affected Indemnitees or Borrower, as the case may be, provided, that the failure to provide such notice promptly or
to notify Borrower shall not release Borrower from any of its obligations to indemnify hereunder, except to the extent that such failure adversely affects any applicable defense or counterclaim, or otherwise increases the amount Borrower would have
been liable for in the absence of such failure. If no Specified Default shall exist, Borrower shall have the right to investigate and defend or (so long as Borrower has acknowledged in writing to the relevant Indemnitee that Borrower is liable to
such Indemnitee for such Liability), compromise any Liability for which it may be required to indemnify under this Section 9.01, and each Indemnitee agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests of Borrower in connection therewith.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Borrower shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings or compromise any Liability if (aa) any Specified Default shall exist,
or (bb) such proceedings would involve the imposition of criminal liability on an Indemnitee or if such contest will, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee, be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct. The reasonable
fees and expenses of such Indemnitee’s counsel shall be paid by Borrower if any of the circumstances described in clauses (aa) or (bb) above exists. An Indemnitee may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in any judicial
proceeding controlled by Borrower pursuant to the preceding provisions. Each Indemnitee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the insurers in the exercise of their rights to investigate, defend, or compromise such claim as may be required
by such policy to maintain the insurance coverage provided to the parties thereunder. To the extent that any Indemnitee receives indemnification payments under this Section 9.01, Borrower shall be subrogated to such Indemnitee’s rights
with respect to the transaction or event requiring or giving rise to such indemnity to the extent of any indemnity payment made, other than to any insurance policies maintained by such Indemnitee. 

(c) Survival. The indemnities in this Section 9.01 shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Basic Documents
as to acts occurring or circumstances existing on or before such expiration or termination. 
 (d) Payment. Subject to the
provisions of clause (b) above, Borrower agrees to pay a claim for any Liability by an Indemnitee within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor. 

Section 9.02 General Tax Indemnity. (a) General. Borrower agrees that all payments on any Note
and all payments by Borrower to any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents shall be free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all withholdings of any nature whatsoever, except as otherwise provided
in the first two paragraphs of this Section 9.02(a). If any deduction or withholding is required with respect to any amount payable on any Note or any other amounts payable by Borrower that are enumerated (and not excepted) above, Borrower
shall pay an additional amount such that the net amount actually received by each Indemnitee, after such deduction or withholding, will be equal to all such amounts that would be received by such Indemnitee if no such deduction or withholding had
been required. Each Indemnitee shall file and provide to Borrower such returns, statements, or other documentation as shall enable it to claim to the extent possible any reduced rate of Tax 

  
 22 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
withholding or any exemption from Tax withholding with respect to any Taxes to which the terms of this Section 9.02(a) apply, in each case, properly available under applicable law or any
applicable treaty, provided that, (i) except in the case of Tax withholding required by the United States government on interest income, Borrower shall have provided to such Indemnitee timely notice of the requirement for such returns,
statements, or other documentation, (ii) such Indemnitee has in good faith determined it would suffer no adverse tax consequences by providing the applicable return, statement, or other documentation, and (iii) Borrower has agreed to pay,
and does pay after demand therefor, on an After-Tax Basis, all costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in providing the applicable return, statement, or other documentation. If and to the extent that
such Indemnitee fails to file or provide any such return, statement, or other documentation required pursuant to the preceding sentence and as a result thereof either (1) Tax withholding is required at a rate which is higher than that which
would have been applicable had such return, statement or other documentation been filed or provided, or (2) Tax withholding is required which would not have been required had such return, statement, or other documentation been filed or
provided, Borrower’s obligation to make the increased payment otherwise required by this Section 9.02(a) shall be limited to the amount which would have been required if such Indemnitee had filed or provided such return, statement, or
other documentation. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any deduction or withholding of Taxes imposed by the United States government
(including any such deduction or withholding of Taxes imposed under FATCA) is required by applicable law (after taking into account any applicable treaty) with respect to any amount payable on any Note or under the other Basic Documents (other than
to Initial Lender (it being understood and agreed payments to whom shall be governed by the first paragraph of Section 9.02(a))), Borrower shall make, and the Lender shall receive, such payment net of such required deduction or withholding, and
Borrower shall not be required to make the additional payment otherwise required by this Section 9.02(a) with respect to such deduction or withholding, except in the case of any such deduction or withholding of Taxes imposed by the United
States government (other than such Taxes imposed under FATCA) that is required as a result of any amendment to or change in applicable law, which amendment or change becomes effective after the date the Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (a
“Change in Law”). In the event that there is a Change in Law and a Lender (other than Initial Lender) becomes subject to a deduction or withholding requirement, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to transfer the affected Note to a
branch or Affiliate located in a jurisdiction not affected by such withholding Tax or with respect to which a lower withholding Tax applies, if such transfer would not result in any economic disadvantage or adverse Tax consequences to such Lender
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous (except to a de minimis extent) (unless, in the case of any economically quantifiable detriment, Borrower has agreed to indemnify against such detriment in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Lender).
If such transfer is made, such Lender shall, as promptly as practicable, fulfill or cause to be fulfilled the obligations under Section 9.02(j) with respect to any branch or Affiliate. If a Lender receives a payment without a deduction or a
withholding that is required by applicable law but is not Borrower’s responsibility under this Section 9.02(a), the pertinent Lender shall reimburse Borrower for any amount, including interest and penalties imposed by the United States
government, that Borrower is required to make with respect to such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall be indemnified, to the extent provided for elsewhere in this Section 9.02, for any deduction or
withholding that is required because (i) Borrower is not or 

  
 23 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
does not remain an entity that is a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30), or (ii) Borrower is not managed and controlled within the United States, or
conducts activities outside the United States, in either case with the consequence that payments are made, deemed, or treated as made by Borrower from outside the United States. Regardless of the applicability of any other provision of this
paragraph, if any deduction or withholding is required by applicable law with respect to any Note, Borrower shall promptly pay the full amount of such required deduction or withholding to the appropriate taxing authority and deliver to the Lender as
soon as practicable thereafter a receipt issued by such taxing authority or a statement of Borrower confirming the payment to such taxing authority of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld. 

Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Basic Documents are consummated, subject to
Section 9.02(b), Borrower shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold harmless on an After-Tax Basis each Indemnitee from and against, any and all fees, taxes, licenses, levies, imposts, duties, excises,
assessments, charges, or withholding of any nature, together with any penalties, fines, additions to tax, or interest thereon, however imposed, whether levied or imposed upon such Indemnitee, Borrower, or any Engine Kit or any part thereof, by any
federal, state, or local taxing authority within the United States or any territory or possession thereof, or by any foreign or international taxing authority (all such fees, taxes, licenses, levies, imposts, duties, excises, assessments, charges,
withholdings, penalties, fines, additions to tax, and interest being “Taxes”) relating to: (aa) any Engine Kit, or any interest therein, (bb) the acquisition, manufacture, purchase, mortgaging, initial financing, refinancing, ownership,
delivery, non-delivery, redelivery, transport, location, assignment, alteration, improvement, possession, presence, use, replacement, substitution, operation, insurance, installation, modification, rebuilding,
overhaul, condition, storage, maintenance, repair, sale, return, abandonment, preparation, transfer of title, acceptance, importation, exportation, rejection, or other disposition of any Engine Kit, or any interest in any of the foregoing;
(cc) the Notes, or the issuance, acquisition, transfer, or assumption thereof, or refinancing thereof, or the payment of any amounts thereon; (dd) the execution, delivery, or performance of any of the Basic Documents or any future amendment,
supplement, waiver, or consent (thereto requested or consented to by Borrower) or in connection with a Specified Default, or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any proceeds or payments or amounts payable under any thereof; (ee) the
property or the income or other proceeds with respect to any Engine Kit; or (ff) otherwise with respect to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the third paragraph of this Section 9.02(a) shall not obligate Borrower to pay or indemnify for any of the
following: 
 (i) in the case of any Indemnitee, any Taxes (including any withholding Taxes other than withholding Taxes for
which an Indemnitee may be indemnified hereunder pursuant to the first and second paragraphs of this Section 9.02(a)) imposed by the United States government or by any state, local or foreign taxing authority based on, or measured by or with
respect to gross or net income, net or gross receipts, minimum tax, capital, franchise, net worth, excess profits, value added, or conduct of business of such Indemnitee (other than any such Taxes which are in the nature of sales or use taxes,
license or excise taxes, property taxes, ad valorem taxes, 

  
 24 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 value added taxes (to the extent not imposed in direct and clear substitution for an income
tax), stamp or document taxes, registration or recording taxes, or goods and services or transaction privilege taxes and other than amounts necessary to make payments on an After-Tax Basis), in each case
however denominated, as a result of such Indemnitee’s being organized in, physically holding the Notes in, or conducting business unrelated to the transactions contemplated in the Basic Documents in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax. 

(ii) Taxes imposed with respect to any period following the payment by Borrower of all amounts due and payable under the Basic
Documents, except to the extent coinciding with such event; 
 (iii) Taxes which arise out of or are caused by a breach by an
Indemnitee of any of its covenants, representations, and warranties under the Basic Documents; 
 (iv) any Tax imposed upon
or as a result of a transfer or other disposition by or to an Indemnitee of any interest in any Note, Engine Kit, or any part thereof or Basic Document, other than any such transfer or disposition (a) while any Event of Default exists, or
(b) in order to effect the transactions or transfers contemplated to occur under the Basic Documents on a Funding Date, 

(v) in the case of any Indemnitee, withholding Taxes imposed on any transferee of the interests held by such Indemnitee (other
than a transferee who has acquired its interest as a result of a transfer pursuant to an exercise of remedies following an Event of Default) (a) if such Tax would not have been imposed on the original Indemnitee, or (b) to the extent such
Tax exceeds the amount of Tax that would have been imposed on the original Indemnitee; 
 (vi) in the case of any Indemnitee,
Taxes to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any officer, director, agent, or employee of such Indemnitee, other than any such gross negligence or willful misconduct imputed to such Indemnitee
by reason of any action or inaction of (a) Borrower, (b) any other Indemnitee, or (c) any officer, director, agent, or employee of any Person described in clauses (a) or (b) above; 

(vii) Taxes that have been paid by Borrower as transaction expenses under Section 13.03 and that have been timely and
properly paid to the appropriate taxing authority; 
 (viii) in the case of a Lender, any Tax to the extent that such Tax
would not have been imposed but for the failure of such Lender to comply with any certification, documentation, or similar requirements concerning the nationality, residence, or identity of such Lender which, if properly complied with, would have
resulted in an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, such Tax for which such Lender was otherwise eligible, provided that Borrower gave such Lender timely notice of such requirement, such Lender would suffer no adverse consequences by so complying,
and 

  
 25 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 Borrower has agreed to pay, and does pay after demand therefor, on an After-Tax Basis, all costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in so complying; 
 (ix) in
the case of a Lender, any Tax imposed by means of withholding, other than any such Tax to be indemnified hereunder solely as and to the extent set forth in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 9.02(a); 

(x) in the case of any Indemnitee, Taxes imposed in respect of a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA
arising out of a breach by such Indemnitee of its representations or covenants; and 
 (xi) any Tax imposed under FATCA. 

(b) Contests. If any written claim is made against any Indemnitee or if any proceeding is commenced against any Indemnitee for any
Taxes as to which Borrower may have indemnity obligation pursuant to Section 9.02(a), such Indemnitee shall notify Borrower of such claim within thirty (30) days after such Indemnitee receives notice of such claim or proceeding;
provided, that failure to provide such notice to Borrower shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to provide indemnity hereunder with respect to the Taxes that are the subject of such claim or proceeding unless and except to the extent
that (i) such failure (whether by adversely affecting a counterclaim or defense, or otherwise) increases the amount for which Borrower would have been liable in the absence of such failure, or (ii) such failure results in the imposition
of, or an increase in the amount of, any penalties, interest, or additions to Tax related to the Tax which is the subject of such claim or proceeding. 

Upon Borrower’s timely written request, the Indemnitee shall, in good faith, with due diligence, and at Borrower’s expense, contest
the validity, applicability, or amount of such Taxes by, in such Indemnitee’s discretion after consultation with Borrower, (aa) resisting payment thereof, (bb) not paying the same except under protest, if protest is necessary and proper, or
(cc) if payment is made, using reasonable efforts to obtain a refund thereof in appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be required to take or continue any action pursuant to this
sentence unless and until (u) except in the case when the Borrower controls the contest, such claim relates to Taxes for which Borrower may be liable hereunder in an amount in excess of $5,000 or Taxes for which the Borrower may be liable
hereunder or otherwise in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000; (v) such Indemnitee shall have received from Borrower (at Borrower’s expense) an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that a reasonable basis exists within the meaning of ABA
Formal Opinion No. 83352, or any successor thereto, for contesting such claim; (w) Borrower agrees to pay and shall timely pay, on an After-Tax Basis, on demand to such Indemnitee all reasonable
costs and expenses that such Indemnitee actually incurs in connection with and reasonably allocable to contesting such claim (including reasonable legal and accounting fees, penalties, interest, and additions to tax); (x) if a Specified Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrower provides security for its obligations under Section 9.02(a) reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee; (y) if the Indemnitee decides after consultation with Borrower to pay the Tax prior to the
contest, Borrower shall provide to the Indemnitee an interest-free advance in an amount equal to the Tax which the Indemnitee is required to pay and shall, in such case, pay any additional amount required to hold such Indemnitee harmless against any
adverse Tax consequences arising from 

  
 26 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
such advance (and if such contest is finally determined adversely, the amount of such advance shall be applied against Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee against the Tax which
is the subject of such contest); and (z) the action to be taken will not involve any risk of criminal liability on the Indemnitee or of a sale, forfeiture, or loss of any Engine Kit, or the creation of any Lien other than Liens for the Taxes
being contested unless Borrower posts a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee in respect to such risk (other than in the case of a risk of criminal liability). 

Any contest required pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be conducted by Borrower in the name of Borrower, if permitted by law, with
respect to (i) any claim which involves only Taxes or claims for which Borrower is required to indemnify hereunder, or (ii) any claim which can be segregated and contested separately without material adverse unindemnified consequences for
such Indemnitee, provided, Borrower shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the applicable Indemnitee with respect to such contest without regard to the exclusions in Section 9.02(a)(i) through (xi). Any other
contest shall be at the control and discretion of the Indemnitee. If Borrower satisfies the conditions imposed on it in this Section 9.02(b) and an Indemnitee nevertheless fails to contest and refuses to permit Borrower to contest under and as
and to the extent required by this Section 9.02(b), then Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee for such claim or for any other claim for which a successful contest is adversely affected in any material respect because of
such failure to contest or to permit a contest. In addition, the Indemnitee shall not settle, concede, or compromise any contest without Borrower’s prior written consent unless the Indemnitee forgoes its right to be indemnified for such claim,
and any such settlement, concession, or compromise without the prior written consent of Borrower shall constitute a waiver of such Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification hereunder with respect to such claim and any other related claim for which
a successful contest is adversely affected in any material respect because of such settlement, concession, or compromise. If the settlement proposal of a claim is acceptable to the Indemnitee but is unacceptable to Borrower, Borrower shall inform
such Indemnitee of the amount for which Borrower would be willing to settle such claim and such Indemnitee may accept the settlement proposal; provided, that the amount of any indemnity payment which Borrower shall be required to pay to such
Indemnitee under Section 9.02(a) in respect of such claim shall not exceed the amount for which Borrower would have been willing to settle such claim. Such Indemnitee shall promptly return such portion of any amounts (including any “gross
up” paid thereon, but excluding the expense of contest), previously advanced by Borrower for the payment of the Taxes which were the subject of the contest, as exceeds the amount to which Borrower did not withhold its consent. If Borrower
notifies such Indemnitee that the settlement proposal is unacceptable to Borrower, the Indemnitee shall treat such notification as Borrower’s request that such Indemnitee contest such claim for Taxes, in which case Borrower’s and such
Indemnitee’s rights and obligations with respect to such taxes shall be as provided in this Section 9.02(b) without regard to the settlement proposal. An Indemnitee will not be required to appeal any decision to the United States Supreme
Court or any similar court in a jurisdiction outside the United States. 
 If any Indemnitee actually obtains a refund (or would have
actually received such a refund but for offset by matters not indemnifiable by Borrower under Section 9.02(a)) of all or any part of any Tax paid or reimbursed by Borrower, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay to Borrower the amount equal to the
lesser of (x) the amount of such refund (or the amount of such 

  
 27 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
offset) plus any interest thereon (less any Taxes imposed on such Indemnitee with respect to such interest) received from the relevant taxing authority (or which would have been received with
respect to the amount of such an offset) plus the amount of any Tax benefits realized by such Indemnitee as a result of such payment (and net of any net Tax detriment resulting from the receipt of the refund and interest on the refund (after giving
effect to such Indemnitee’s obligations to make payments to Borrower under this sentence)), and (y) the sum of (i) such Tax payment by Borrower to such Indemnitee plus (ii) any interest received by such Indemnitee with respect to
such refund or offset plus (iii) any other payment other than the expenses of the contest by Borrower to such Indemnitee theretofore made (and not theretofore repaid to Borrower) pursuant to this Section 9.02(b), it being intended that
such Indemnitee shall be entitled to a net tax benefit pursuant to this Section 9.02(b) only if Borrower has been reimbursed for any payments by it to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.02(b); provided, (a) such amount
shall not be payable before such time as Borrower shall have made all payments or indemnities then due and owing to such Indemnitee by Borrower pursuant to the Basic Documents, (b) no Specified Default shall exist, and (c) the amount of
such payment by the Indemnitee with respect to a Tax paid or indemnified by Borrower hereunder, together with all payments previously made to Borrower by the Indemnitee with respect to such Tax, shall not exceed the aggregate amount paid by Borrower
to the Indemnitee with respect to such Tax pursuant to Section 9.02(a) other than the expenses of the contest. Any subsequent loss or disallowance of such refund (as a result of a redetermination of the claim giving rise to such refund by any
taxing authority or as a result of a judicial proceeding with respect to such claim) or tax benefit shall be treated as a Tax subject to indemnification under Section 9.02(a) without regard to the exclusions in Section 9.02(a) and the
provisions of this Section 9.02(b). If an Indemnitee receives an award of attorneys’ fees in a contest for which Borrower has paid an allocable portion of the contest expenses, such Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower that portion of the
award that is directly related to the issues contested with respect to a Tax indemnified under this Section 9.02, taking into account the rules applicable to obtaining such an award and any decision of the court in making such award. 

Nothing in this Section 9.02 shall require any Indemnitee to contest or permit the contest of a claim which it would otherwise be required
to contest pursuant to this Section 9.02 if such Indemnitee waives payment by Borrower of (x) any amount that might otherwise be payable by Borrower under this Section 9.02 by way of indemnity in respect of such claim, and
(y) any other amount that might otherwise be payable by Borrower by way of indemnification in respect of any other claim for which a successful contest is adversely affected in any material respect because of such failure to contest. In such
event, such Indemnitee shall reimburse Borrower for all amounts paid by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to such non-contested claim other than the expenses of the contest. 

(c) Payments and Repayments. All Taxes shall be paid when due and payable to the appropriate taxing authority, and all amounts payable
as indemnities pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall be payable, to the extent not theretofore paid, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand by the appropriate Indemnitee (which demand shall include the basis for the indemnity and
its computation, each in reasonable detail), except that Taxes being contested pursuant to Section 9.02(b) shall not be required to be paid, subject to clause (y) in the second paragraph of Section 9.02(b), before such contest is
finally resolved. If, for any reason, Borrower makes any payment with respect to any Taxes imposed on any Indemnitee in respect 

  
 28 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents or on any Engine Kit, which Taxes are not the responsibility of Borrower with respect to such Indemnitee under this Section 9.02, then
such Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of Borrower’s demand therefor an amount that equals the amount paid by Borrower with respect to such Taxes, plus interest at the Interest Rate from the date paid by
Borrower to the date repaid to Borrower by such Indemnitee. 
 (d) Reports and Returns. If any report or return is required to
be made with respect to any of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 9.02, Borrower shall in a timely and proper fashion, (x) to the extent required or permitted by law, make and file in its own name such return or report, and
(y) in the case of any such return or report required to be made in the name of any Indemnitee, inform such Indemnitee of such fact and prepare such return or report for filing by such Indemnitee in a manner reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnitee or, where such return or report is required to reflect items in addition to any obligations of Borrower under or arising out of this Section 9.02, provide such Indemnitee with information sufficient to permit such return or report to
be properly made with respect to any obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.02 no later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing date of such return or report. Each Indemnitee shall provide to Borrower such information within that
Indemnitee’s possession or control as is reasonably necessary for Borrower to complete and file any such report or return properly. 

(e) Receipts and Records. Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to obtain official receipts indicating the payment of all Taxes
that are subject to indemnification under this Section 9.02 and that are paid by Borrower, and shall promptly on request send to the Indemnitee each such receipt obtained by Borrower. Within a reasonable time after Borrower receives from an
Indemnitee a written request for specified information or copies of specified records reasonably necessary to enable an Indemnitee to fulfill its Tax filing, Tax audit or other Tax obligations or to contest Taxes imposed upon it, Borrower shall
provide such information or copies of such records to the requesting party. 
 (f) Borrower a Primary Obligor. Borrower’s
obligations under the indemnities provided for in this Agreement are those of a primary obligor whether or not the Indemnitee is also indemnified against the same matter under any other Basic Document or any other document or instrument, and the
Person seeking indemnification from Borrower may proceed directly against Borrower without first seeking to enforce any other right of indemnification. 

(g) Payments on After-Tax Basis. Each payment and indemnity under this Section 9.02
shall be made on an After-Tax Basis; provided, that if any Indemnitee realizes any credits, deductions, or other tax benefits (or would have realized such a benefit if properly claimed) by reason of
such payment or indemnity or, to the extent not otherwise taken into account in the computation of such payment or indemnity, as a result of the imposition or payment of any Tax with respect to which an indemnity has been paid hereunder, such
Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the sum of the amount by which such credits, deductions, and other tax benefits reduces the Taxes of such Indemnitee plus any tax benefit realized minus any tax detriment
realized as the result of any payment made pursuant to this proviso, and (2) the amount of such payment by Borrower to or for the account 

  
 29 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
of such Indemnitee plus the amount of any other payments (other than the expenses of the contest) by Borrower to or for the account of such Indemnitee theretofore made (and not theretofore repaid
to Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.02(g), it being intended that no Indemnitee should be entitled to a net tax benefit pursuant to this Section 9.02(g) unless Borrower shall concurrently be made whole for any payments made by it to
such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.02(g)); provided, further, that any amount otherwise due to Borrower pursuant to this sentence shall be withheld to the extent of any payment or indemnity then due from Borrower to or on behalf
of such Indemnitee pursuant to the Basic Documents and not made (and any amount so withheld shall not be payable before such time and to such extent as Borrower shall have made such payments or indemnities), and provided, further, no
Specified Default shall exist. Any Taxes that are imposed on any Indemnitee as a result of the disallowance or reduction of a tax benefit referred to in the first sentence of this Section 9.02(g) in a subsequent taxable year shall be
indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 9.02 (without regard to the exclusions in Section 9.02(a) and the provisions of Section 9.02(b)). Notwithstanding anything contained herein or elsewhere in any Basic Document, neither Borrower
nor any other Person shall have any right to inspect any Lender’s tax returns, books, records or other documents. 
 In determining the
order in which any Indemnitee utilizes withholding or other foreign taxes as a credit against such Indemnitee’s United States income taxes, such Indemnitee shall be deemed to utilize (i) first, all foreign taxes other than those described
in clause (ii) below; provided, that such other foreign taxes which are carried back to the taxable year for which a determination is being made shall be deemed utilized after foreign taxes described in clause (ii) below, and
(ii) then, on a pro rata basis, all foreign taxes with respect to which such Indemnitee is entitled to obtain indemnification pursuant to an indemnification provision contained in any loan agreement or other financing document (including this
Agreement) that is similar to the indemnification provision in this Section 9.02. 
 (h) Interest. Borrower will pay to
each Indemnitee, on demand, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate on the amount of any indemnity not paid when due pursuant to this Section 9.02, until it is paid (such default interest to be compounded on a
quarterly basis until such payment). Such interest shall be paid in the same manner as the unpaid amount on which it is due. An Indemnitee will pay to Borrower, on demand, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate on
the amounts of any payment required hereunder to be made by such Indemnitee to Borrower not paid when due pursuant to this Section 9.02, until it is paid (such default interest to be compounded on a quarterly basis until such payment). 

(i) Survival. All indemnities, obligations, adjustments, and payments provided for in this Section 9.02 shall survive, and
remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the expiration or other termination of this Agreement or any other Basic Document. The obligations of Borrower in respect of all such indemnities, obligations, adjustments, and payments are made for
the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnitee entitled thereto, without declaring any Basic Document to be in default or taking any other action hereunder or thereunder, and notwithstanding any provision of any other Basic Document.

 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 Required Forms. Borrower agrees, to the extent required by applicable law, to withhold
from each payment due hereunder or under any Note United States federal withholding Taxes at the appropriate rate, and, on a timely basis, to deposit such amounts with an authorized depository and make such reports, filings, and other reports in
connection therewith, and in the manner, required under applicable law. Borrower shall furnish no later than March 15 of each year to each Lender a U.S. Treasury Form 1042S (or similar forms at any relevant time in effect), if applicable,
indicating payment in full of any Taxes withheld from any payments by Borrower to such Lender together with all such other information and documents reasonably requested by such Lender and necessary or appropriate to enable such Person to
substantiate a claim for credit or deduction with respect thereto for income tax purposes of any jurisdiction with respect to which such Person is required to file a tax return. Provided that each Lender which is a
non-U.S. Person has furnished to Borrower (aa) two complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
W-8EXP (or similar forms at any relevant time in effect) evidencing such Lender’s qualification for a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income tax on payments made under any
Note during the taxable year of such Lender to which such Form W-8BEN or W-8EXP relates, (bb) two complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or similar forms at any relevant time in effect) evidencing such Lender’s qualification for a reduction of, or complete exemption from, withholding of United States federal income tax on all payments
made under any Note on the basis of any treaty between the United States and the country in which such Lender is a resident (or under the laws of which such Lender is entitled to the benefits of such treaty) during the taxable year of such Lender to
which such Form W-8BEN relates, or (cc) two complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or similar forms at any relevant time in
effect) evidencing the Lender’s complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income tax on interest payments made under and any Note during the taxable year of such Lender to which such Form
W-8ECI relates, and provided Lender has furnished to Borrower two complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
W-8EXP or Form W-8IMY (or similar forms at any relevant time in effect) with all required attachments, in the event such forms become applicable, then no amount or only
the reduced amount required by applicable law shall be withheld from payments under the Notes held by such Lender in respect to United States federal income tax. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless (on an
After-Tax Basis) and Borrower against any claim for United States withholding Taxes which Lender improperly fails to withhold on payments to such Lender as a direct result of the failure by such Lender to
provide the required certificate or Form or the invalidity of any certificate or Form provided by such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.02(j) (and providing such a certificate or Form shall constitute a representation of the relevant Lender as
to such Lender’s qualification for complete exemption from United States federal gross income tax withholding or, in the event of a Change in Law for which Borrower is obligated to hold harmless the Lender pursuant to this Agreement, for
partial exemption from such withholding),If a payment made to a Lender under any Basic 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with
its 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.

 10. YIELD PROTECTION; ILLEGALITY 

Section 10.01 Additional Costs. 

(a) Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as are necessary to compensate such Lender, on an After-Tax Basis, for any costs which are attributable to its purchase of any Notes hereunder (and reasonably allocable to such purchase,
vis-à-vis all that Lender’s other purchases of a similar type), or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender in respect of any of such Notes,
resulting from any Regulatory Change which imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, minimum capital, capital ratio, or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities
of, such Lender, or changes in interpretation of such requirements or other similar measures effectively imposed or directed by public controlling bodies. Each Lender will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which
will entitle that Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 10.01(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof, if it determines to request such compensation. Each Lender will furnish Borrower with a certificate
setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under this Section 10.01(a). No indemnity shall be payable under this Section 10.01: (aa) for any costs accruing earlier than thirty (30) days prior to
the date of such notice by such Lender to Borrower, or incurred as a result of such Lender’s failure to give notice as promptly as required by this Section 10.01(a), (bb) unless such Lender is seeking similar compensation for such costs
from its borrowers generally in connection with comparable loan financings, or (cc) to any successor Lender or to the extent caused by a Lender’s relocation or by its voluntary relocation of its Note(s) in either case to a jurisdiction
other than the United States, Australia, Austria, Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, or Switzerland, which (due to a then-existing Regulatory Change, or then-enacted future Regulatory
Change) would require indemnification under this Section 10.01 to a greater extent than would the previous jurisdiction, or (dd) to the extent the costs are specific to the Lender and not commercial banks or insurance companies in general in
the applicable jurisdiction. 
 (b) Without limiting the effect of Section 10.01(a) (but without duplication), Borrower shall pay to
each Lender on the first Business Day after the last day of each Interest Period, so long as such Lender maintains reserves (including any marginal, supplemental, or emergency reserves) against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation
D, an additional amount notified to Borrower by such Lender (which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such amount), by not later than the last day of such Interest Period, equal to the product of the
following for each day during such Interest Period: 
 (1) the principal amount of such Lender’s Floating Rate Notes
outstanding on such day; times 

  
 32 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 (2) the remainder (expressed as a decimal) of (x) a fraction, the
numerator of which is LIBOR for such day (expressed as a decimal), and the denominator of which is one minus the interest rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such Lender maintains such reserves on such day, minus (y) such
numerator; times 
 (3) 1/360 

(c) Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 10.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to
Section 10.01(a) or (b) on such Lender’s costs or rate of return of maintaining any Note, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of any Note, and of amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 10.01, shall be
made by such Lender reasonably and in good faith and shall be conclusive. 
 Section 10.02 Breakage Costs;
Prepayment Premium. 
 (a) Borrower shall pay to each Lender, upon such Lender’s request, such amount as is sufficient, in such
Lender’s reasonable opinion, to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense which is attributable to: 
 (1) any
payment, prepayment or purchase of any Floating Rate Note in which such Lender has any interest for any reason (including the acceleration of the maturity of any Floating Rate Notes pursuant to Section 8.02, and the prepayment of any Floating
Rate Note pursuant to Section 4.03, but excluding any other transfer of any Floating Note by any Lender, other than a sale or other transfer as a result of, or in connection with the exercise of remedies during the continuance of, an Event of
Default, pursuant to an Event of Loss, or at Borrower’s request or direction, or as required by any of the Basic Documents) on a date other than Payment Date; or 

(2) any failure by Initial Lender (because of a non-satisfaction of any of the
conditions precedent specified in Section 7.01 or 7.02) to purchase any Floating Rate Note on a scheduled Funding Date specified by Borrower to Initial Lender; 

provided that, in the case of the Initial Lender, the Initial Lender’s loss, cost or expense relating to any of the foregoing events shall be deemed to
be an amount equal to the Initial Lender’s Breakage Costs. 
 Such amount payable by Borrower (x) shall not include losses, costs,
or expenses attributable to any date more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such payment or purchase or such Funding Date, and (y) shall be determined by the affected Lender reasonably and in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (b) Upon any prepayment of any Fixed Rate Note under Section 4.02 or
acceleration of the maturity of a Fixed Rate Note under Section 8.02, in addition to the amounts payable under such section, Borrower shall pay a prepayment premium equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the present value of foregone
scheduled principal and interest payments for the principal indebtedness prepaid discounted at a rate equal to the sum of (a) the interpolated semiannual rate to “swap” floating rate debt to fixed rate debt (offer side) for loans with
a maturity 

  
 33 









 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
closest to the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the remaining outstanding principal amount of such Fixed Rate Note, at 11:00 a.m. New York City time, two (2) Business Days
prior to the relevant date of determination thereof (such rate to be obtained from the Bloomberg page IRSB (US Semi 30/360 — column 2 (Ask)) or any substitute or replacement page providing the same service) and (b) 0.50% per annum, over
(ii) the amount of principal prepaid; provided that, no such amount shall be less than zero;. Such affected Lender will provide Borrower with a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and amount of such Lender’s
request for compensation. 
 Section 10.03 Illegality. If any change in any applicable state, federal or
provincial law or in any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency in the United States or Canada charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, shall make it unlawful or
contrary to such interpretation or administration for any Lender to make, fund, maintain or hold any of its Note(s) under the Basic Documents (each such event being an “Illegality Event”), then such Lender shall promptly notify
Borrower thereof in writing, and such Lender’s obligation to purchase any additional Notes shall be suspended until that Lender may again make, fund, maintain, and hold Notes under the Basic Documents. 

Section 10.04 Mitigation. If any Lender’s Notes become eligible for compensation pursuant to
Section 10.01(a) or (b) or any Lender’s obligations to purchase Notes is suspended under Section 10.03 (Notes of such type being herein called “Affected Notes”), then such Lender (other than the Initial Lender)
will promptly designate a different lending office for booking its holdings of Affected Notes, or transfer such Affected Notes to another of its branches or affiliates, if such designation or transfer would eliminate or reduce Borrower’s
payment obligations under Section 10.01(a) or (b) or would eliminate the application of Section 10.03 as to any of its Affected Notes and, in either case, would not have materially disadvantageous regulatory or tax consequences to
such Lender uncompensated for by Borrower reasonably determined by such Lender in good faith; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender shall not be obligated to take any action that would, in its reasonable judgment, cause
such Lender to incur any loss or cost reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, unless Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender hereunder. To the extent that any such designation or transfer does not eliminate such compensation or suspension, such
Lender and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to arrive at a substitute rate. Upon the determination of a substitute rate, the suspension of such Lender’s obligation to purchase any Affected Notes shall terminate; and interest on such
Affected Notes shall (but only to the extent held by such Lender) accrue at such substitute rate instead of the interest rate(s) at which such Affected Notes would have otherwise accrued. For the avoidance of doubt, if such Lender and Borrower
cannot arrive at a substitute rate, then Borrower shall compensate the Lender pursuant to Section 10.01(a) and (b), or such Lender’s obligations to purchase Notes shall remain suspended under Section 10.03, as the case may be, and, in
addition to Borrower’s rights under Section 13.06(b), (x) in the case of such Lender’s Notes becoming eligible for compensation under Section 10.01(a) or (b), Borrower shall have the right to prepay such Notes, if any, on and
subject to the terms of Section 4.02, provided that no prepayment premium under Section 10.02(b) shall be payable in connection therewith and (y) in the case of an Illegality Event under Section 10.03, Borrower shall prepay such
Lender’s Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal of such Notes to the date of such prepayment and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender with respect to such Notes, but excluding any amounts payable
under Section 10.02, with such prepayment under this clause (y) to be made to such Lender within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice referenced in Section 10.03.

attorney, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder or by such attorney, in form

 [Credit Agreement] 

 

 
reasonably satisfactory to Initial Lender, but, in any event, upon issuance of a new Note, such surrendered Note shall be of no further force and effect and Borrower shall have no further
obligations thereunder. Upon presentation to Borrower of any Note for transfer, Borrower will execute and deliver to the transferee thereof in exchange therefore a new Note or Notes of the same series and in the same aggregate principal amount and
with the same terms as the Note so surrendered, in registered form and in any denomination of $500,000 or more (or the aggregate principal amount of all Notes of such series held by such transferee, whichever is less) as is specified in such
instrument of transfer. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as giving any Lender the right or power to transfer one or more of its Notes or to transfer any right or interest in such Notes to another Person in contravention of
Section 13.05(b) without Borrower’s prior written consent. 
 (d) Exchange. The holder of one or more Notes may at
any time surrender such Note or Notes for exchange at Initial Lender’s office and shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a new Note or Notes, of the same series and in the same aggregate principal amount with the same terms as the
Note or Notes surrendered, in registered form and in any denomination of $500,000 or more (or the aggregate principal amount of all such Notes of the same series held by such holder, whichever is less). 

(e) Effect of Transfer or Exchange. All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of
Borrower evidencing the same respective obligations, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Agreement, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. Initial Lender shall make a notation on each new Note of the date to
which interest on the replaced Note(s) has been paid. 
 (f) Evidence of Ownership. Initial Lender and Borrower shall deem and
treat the Person in whose name any registered Note is registered as the absolute owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of mailing payment of all amounts payable by Borrower with respect to such Note and for all other purposes, and Initial
Lender and Borrower shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

therewith. 
 (h) No Transfer Within Three Days Before Payment Date. The Initial Lender shall not be required to transfer or
exchange any Note during the three-day period preceding a Payment Date.
