(C)    With respect to the Advances to be made on the Closing Date, each Lender shall pay the amount of its Advance by wire transfer of such funds to the Borrower’s Account no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Closing Date.  
(D)     With respect to the Advances to be made on any Funding Date, other than the initial Advance to be made on the Closing Date, upon a determination by the Administrative Agent that all conditions precedent to the Advances to be made on such Funding Date set forth in Article III have been satisfied or otherwise waived, each Lender shall fund the amount of its Advance by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with the Borrower’s written instructions initiated no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such Funding Date.
(E)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Non-Conduit Lender who shall have previously notified the Borrower in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto, that it has incurred any external cost, fee or expense directly related to and as a result of the “liquidity coverage ratio” under Basel III in respect of its Commitment hereunder or any liquidity agreement between such Non-Conduit Lender and the Conduit Lender, or its interest in the Advances, such Non-Conduit Lender may, upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.4(A), notify the Borrower in writing by 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Funding Date specified in such Notice of Borrowing, in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (a “Delayed Funding Notice”), of its intent to fund (or, if applicable and if such Conduit Lender so agrees in its sole discretion, have its Conduit Lender, if applicable, fund all or part of) its allocated amount of the related Advance in an amount that would, if combined with all other requested Advances within the past thirty-five (35) days, exceed $20,000,000 (such amount, the “Delayed Amount”) on a Business Day that is on or before the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the date of delivery of such Non-Conduit Lender of such Delayed Funding Notice (the “Delayed Funding Date”) rather than on the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If any Non-Conduit Lender provides a Delayed Funding Notice to the Borrower following the delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may revoke such Notice of Borrowing by delivering written notice of the same to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents by 12:00 P.M. (New York city time) on the Business Day preceding the related Funding Date.  No Non-Conduit Lender that has provided a Delayed Funding Notice in respect of an Advance (a “Delayed Funding Lender”) shall be considered to be in default of its obligation to fund its Delayed Amount pursuant to Section 2.4(D) hereunder unless and until it has failed to fund the Delayed Amount on or before the Delayed Funding Date.  A Delayed Funding Lender is not obliged to fund until thirty-five (35) days have elapsed since the funding request.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Delayed Funding Lender shall be required to fund its Delayed Amount regardless of the occurrence of an Amortization Event, Event of Default, Potential Amortization Event or Potential Default which occurs during the period from and including the related Funding Date to and including the related Delayed Funding Date, unless such Amortization Event, Event of Default, Potential Amortization Event or Potential Default relates to an Insolvency Event with respect to the Borrower.
(F)    If (i) one or more Delayed Funding Lenders provide a Delayed Funding Notice to the Borrower in respect of a Notice of Borrowing and (ii) the Borrower shall not have revoked the Notice of Borrowing prior to the Business Day preceding such Funding Date, the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding such Funding Date, direct each Lender Group and each Non-Conduit Lender that is not a Delayed Funding Lender with respect to such Funding Date (each a “Non-Delayed Funding Lender”) to fund an additional portion of such Advance on such Funding Date equal to such Non-Delayed Funding Lender’s proportionate share (based upon such Non-Delayed Funding Lender’s Commitment relative to the sum of the Commitments of all Non-Delayed

Funding Lenders) of the aggregate Delayed Amounts with respect to such Funding Date; provided, that in no event shall a Non-Delayed Funding Lender be required to fund any amounts in excess of its Commitment. Subject to Section 2.4(D), in the case of a Non-Delayed Funding Lender that is a Non-Conduit Lender, such Non-Conduit Lender hereby agrees, or, in the case of a Non-Delayed Funding Lender that is a Lender Group, the Conduit Lender in such Lender Group may agree, in its sole discretion, and the Non-Conduit Lenders in such Lender Group hereby agree, to fund such portion of the Advance on such Funding Date.
(G)    After the Non-Delayed Funding Lenders fund a Delayed Amount on any Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.4(F), the Delayed Funding Lender in respect of such Delayed Amount will be obligated to fund an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) such Delayed Amount over (b) the amount, if any, by which the portion of any principal distribution amount paid to such Non-Delayed Funding Lenders pursuant to Section 2.7 or any decrease to the outstanding principal balance made in accordance with Section 2.8, on any date during the period from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Delayed Funding Date for such Delayed Amount, was greater than what it would have been had such Delayed Amount been funded by such Delayed Funding Lender on such Funding Date (the “Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount”) with respect to such Delayed Amount on or before its Delayed Funding Date, irrespective of whether the Borrower would be able to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(A) to an Advance, in an amount equal to such Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount on such Delayed Funding Date. Such Delayed Funding Lender shall fund such Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount on such Delayed Funding Date by paying such amount to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds to each such Non-Delayed Funding Lender, pro rata based on the relative amount of such Delayed Amount funded by such Non-Delayed Funding Lender on such Funding Date pursuant to Section 2.4(F).

Section 2.5.    Fees.
(A)    Facility Administrator Fee.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Facility Administration Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the Facility Administrator Fee to the initial Facility Administrator and after the resignation or replacement of the initial Facility Administrator, the Borrower shall pay the Facility Administrator Fee to a Successor Facility Administrator appointed in accordance with the Facility Administration Agreement.
(B)    Verification Agent Fee.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Verification Agent Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Verification Agent the Verification Agent Fee.

(D)    Unused Line Fees. Solely during the Availability Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Funding Agent, for the benefit of the Non-Conduit Lender in its Lender Group and as consideration for the Commitment of such Non-Conduit Lender in such Lender Group unused line fees in Dollars (the “Unused Line Fee”) for the period from the Closing Date to the last day of the Availability Period, computed as (a) the Unused Line Fee Percentage multiplied by (b) the average Unused Portion of the Commitments with respect to such Lender Group during a calendar quarter. Accrued Unused Line Fees shall be due and payable in arrears (from available Collections as set forth and in the order of priority established pursuant to Section 2.7) on the Payment Date immediately following the last day of the applicable calendar quarter for which such fee was calculated and on the last day of the Availability Period.
(E)    Payment of Fees.  The fees set forth in Section 2.5(A), (B), (C) and (D) shall be payable on each Payment Date by the Borrower from Distributable Collections as set forth in and in the order of priority established pursuant to Section 2.7(B).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Transaction Document, the fees referred to in this Section 2.5 shall not constitute “Confidential Information.”
(F)    Amendment Fee.         Commencing on the Amendment Closing Date and thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a fee of $10,000 in connection with each amendment (or group of related amendments effective of the same date) to the Transaction Documents requested by it, which fee shall be in addition to the reimbursement of costs and expenses associated therewith that is provided for in Section 10.6 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any consent to a Proposed Form delivered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1(X) shall not give rise to the obligation to pay the amendment fee set forth in this Section 2.5(F) so long as no amendment to any Transaction Document is required in connection with such Proposed Form as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
Section 2.6.    Reduction/Increase of the Commitments.
(A)    The Borrower may, on any Business Day, upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent and each of the Funding Agents not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed action (which notice may be conditioned upon any event), terminate in whole or reduce in part, on a pro rata basis based on its Lender Group Percentage, the Unused Portion of the Commitments with respect to each Lender Group (and on a pro rata basis with respect to each Non-Conduit Lender in such Lender Group); provided, that (i) any partial reduction shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof 


-6-

(B)    The Borrower may, on any Business Day upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent and each of the Funding Agents, request an increase, on a pro rata basis based on its Lender Group Percentage, of the Commitments of the Non-Conduit Lender(s) in each Lender Group; provided, that any increase shall be at least equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof but shall in no event cause the Aggregate Commitment to exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, the Class A Aggregate Commitment to exceed the Class A Maximum Facility Amount or the Class B Aggregate Commitment to exceed the Class B Maximum Facility Amount. Each Non-Conduit Lender shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request, notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall in turn notify the Borrower in writing (with copies to the other members of the applicable Lender Group) whether or not each Non-Conduit Lender has, in its sole discretion, agreed to increase its Commitment. If a Non-Conduit Lender does not send any notification to the Administrative Agent within such five (5) Business Day period, such Non-Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.  Any increase in Commitments agreed to pursuant to this Section 2.6(B) may be reduced by a Non-Conduit Lender, at any time, upon five Business Days’ written notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent (with copies to the other members of the applicable Lender Group) setting forth the amount of such reduction; provided, however, that such Commitment may not be reduced to an amount less than such Non-Conduit Lender’s initial Commitment on the Closing Date (if such reduction is prior to a Takeout Transaction) or to an amount less than such Non-Conduit Lender’s Commitment on or after a Takeout Transaction (if such reduction is on or after a Takeout Transaction), but may be reduced to an amount that is less than the then Aggregate Outstanding Advances.
Section 2.7.    Repayment of the Advances.  (A) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the outstanding principal balance of the Advances and the other Obligations owing under this Agreement, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full, if not due and payable earlier, on the Maturity Date.

Each such prepayment (which need not be on a Payment Date) shall be accompanied by (a) the payment of all accrued but unpaid interest on the amounts to be so prepaid and (b) any Liquidation Fee in connection with such prepayment if such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date.  Prepayments made in accordance with this Section shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of Class A Advances and Class B Advances (i) in the absence of an Event of Default or Amortization Event, ratably and (ii) otherwise, sequentially.
(B)    The Borrower shall deposit all proceeds of any Takeout Transaction (net of reasonable fees, taxes, commissions, premiums and expenses incurred by the Borrower in connection with such Takeout Transaction so long as such deposit is greater than or equal to the Minimum Payoff Amount) into the Takeout Transaction Account, and the Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds to prepay the applicable Class A Advances and Class B Advances made in respect of the Collateral that is subject to such Takeout Transaction and make other related payments in accordance with Sections 2.7(B) and 2.7(C), including any such payments due to the Paying Agent.
Section 2.9.    Mandatory Prepayments of Advances.

Section 2.10.    [Reserved]. 
Section 2.11.    Interest.  The makers of the Advances shall be entitled to the applicable Interest Distribution Amount payable on each Payment Date in accordance with Sections 2.7(B) and 2.7(C).
Section 2.12.    Breakage Costs; Liquidation Fees; Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality; Additional Indemnifications.
(A)    Breakage Costs and Liquidation Fees.  (i) If any Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay Breakage Costs, if any, and (ii) the Borrower agrees to pay all Liquidation Fees associated with a reduction of the principal balance of a Class A Advance or Class B Advance at any time.  The Borrower shall not be responsible for any Liquidation Fees or any other loss, cost, or expenses arising at the time of, and arising solely as a result of, any assignment made pursuant to Section 10.8 and the reallocation of any portion of a Class A Advance or Class B Advance of the applicable Lender making such assignment unless, in each case, such assignment is requested by the Borrower.
(B)    Increased Costs.  If any Change in Law (a) shall subject any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof (each of which, an “Affected Party”) to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party, or (c) shall impose any other condition affecting the Collateral or the rights of any Lender and the Administrative Agent hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party under this Agreement or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, then on the next Payment Date after written demand by such Affected Party, such Affected Party shall receive such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered to the extent such additional or increased costs or reduction are incurred or suffered in connection with the Collateral, any obligation to make Advances hereunder, any of the rights of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, or any payment made hereunder in accordance with Section 2.7(B); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Affected Party for any portion of such additional or increased cost or such reduction that is incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any such demand (except that, if the event giving rise to such additional or increased cost or such reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(C)    Capital Adequacy.  If any Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, then on the next Payment Date after written demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), such Affected Party shall receive such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction in accordance with Section 2.7(B); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Affected Party for any portion 


-15-

of such additional amount or amounts that are incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any such demand (except that, if the event giving rise to such additional amount or amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(D)    Compensation.  If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Section 2.12(A), 2.12(B), or 2.12(C), any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then on the next Payment Date after written demand by such Affected Party, such Affected Party shall receive such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts paid by it; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Affected Party for any portion of such additional amount or amounts that are incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any such demand (except that, if the event giving rise to such additional amount or amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(E)    Calculation.  In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.13.    Payments and Computations.  (A) The Borrower (through the Paying Agent pursuant to Sections 2.7(B) and 2.7(C) and as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) shall make each payment and prepayment hereunder and under the Advances in respect of principal, interest, expenses, indemnities, fees or other Obligations due from the Borrower not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the related Funding Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.3 or to such account provided by such Funding Agent in immediately available, same‐day funds.  Payments on Obligations may also be made by application of funds in the Collection Account or the Takeout Transaction Account as provided in Section 2.7(B) or 2.7(C), as applicable.  All computations of interest for Advances made under the Base Rate shall be made by the applicable Funding Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  Each determination by a Funding Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(B)    All payments to be made in respect of fees, if any, due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder shall be made on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature (other than with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17), and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.  The Borrower agrees that, to the extent there are insufficient funds in the Administrative Agent’s Account, to make any payment under this clause (B) when due, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent all amounts due that remain unpaid.

Section 2.14.    Payment on Non‐Business Days.  Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Advances shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.
Section 2.15.    [Reserved].
Section 2.16.    Extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date.  No earlier than ninety (90) days, and no later than sixty (60) days, prior to the then Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may deliver written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent requesting an extension of such Scheduled Commitment Termination Date.  The Administrative Agent shall respond to such request no later than thirty (30) days following the date of its receipt of such request, indicating whether it is considering such request and preliminary conditions precedent to any extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date as the Administrative Agent determines to include in such response. The Administrative Agent’s failure to respond to a request delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not be deemed to constitute any agreement by the Administrative Agent to any such extension. The granting of any extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date requested by the Borrower shall be in the mutual discretion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of all Lender Groups).
Section 2.17.    Taxes.
(A)    Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 2.17 the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(B)    Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(C)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of a Funding Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(D)    Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to each Funding Agent), 


-17-

or by a Funding Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(E)    Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Non-Conduit Lender shall severally indemnify each Funding Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Non-Conduit Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Funding Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Non-Conduit Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by a Funding Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Non-Conduit Lender by its Funding Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Non-Conduit Lender hereby authorizes its Funding Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Non-Conduit Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by such Funding Agent to the Non-Conduit Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Funding Agent under this paragraph (E).
(F)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to each Funding Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Funding Agent.
(G)    Status of Recipients.  (i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the related Funding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a)    any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;


-18-
[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the company if publicly disclosed.







(b)    any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or 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 (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or 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;
(2)    executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Recipient is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E; or
(4)    to the extent a Recipient is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W‐9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Recipient may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(c)    any Recipient which is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


-19-
[***] = Certain information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the company if publicly disclosed.







(d)    if a payment made to a Recipient under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower, the Paying Agent and such Funding Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(H)    Forms for Paying Agent.  The Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent shall deliver to the Paying Agent on or before the first Payment Date, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐9 or W‐8, as applicable, certifying that the Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. The Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent agrees that if such Internal Revenue Service Form previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or promptly notify the Paying Agent and the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(I)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‐of‐pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (I) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (I), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (I) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after‐Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(J)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of a Funding Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.
Section 2.18.    Request for Borrowing Exceeding Aggregate Commitment.  
(A)      Notice. The Borrower may, from time to time during the Availability Period, prior to the issuance of a Notice of Borrowing, send a written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly forward the same to each Lender Group) setting forth the Borrower’s intent to request a borrowing that will cause the Aggregate Outstanding Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment (but not the Maximum Facility Amount) then in effect. Such notice shall be sent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Borrower intends to send the related Notice of Borrowing and shall set forth the amount by which the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Advances (after giving effect to such borrowing) will exceed the Aggregate Commitment and the related Funding Date.
(B)     Approval/Disapproval. Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 2.18(A) by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, obtain the written approval or disapproval of each Non-Conduit Lender regarding the requested Advances, which approval shall be granted or not granted in the sole discretion of the Non-Conduit Lenders.  If the making of the requested Advances is approved, the Borrower shall, in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 2.4, send the related Notice of Borrowing.  Any approved Advances to be made by the Lenders in the related Lender Group shall be funded within such Lender Group pursuant to any allocation as agreed to by all of the members of such Lender Group. If the making of the requested Advances is not approved, then the Borrower shall, prior to sending its Notice of Borrowing, modify the same in a manner sufficient to ensure that the requested borrowing does not cause the Aggregate Outstanding Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment then in effect, as applicable.
(C)     Commitment.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the making of an Advance by a Lender Group that would cause the Aggregate Outstanding Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as applicable, is approved, each Non-Conduit Lender’s Commitment shall be increased solely to the extent such Non-Conduit Lender approved the Advance.  Each Non-Conduit Lender’s Commitment shall otherwise remain as set forth on Exhibit E unless increased and/or reduced from time to time in accordance with Section 2.6 or amended in connection with assignments made by a Non-Conduit Lender pursuant to Section 10.8.  Moreover, the Borrower must go through the procedures described in Sections 2.18(A) and (B) each time a request for an Advance is made which would cause the sum of all outstanding Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as applicable.
(D)      Nothing set forth in this Section 2.18 requires a Conduit Lender to make any Advance; provided, however, a Conduit Lender may, in its sole discretion, make the Advance requested pursuant to this Section 2.18 for its Lender Group. Any Advance approved pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.4.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has maintained, participated or had any liability in respect to any Plan during the past six (6) years which could reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates to any tax, penalty or other liabilities.

Any Taxes due and payable by any Relevant Party or its predecessors in interest in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transfers and transactions contemplated hereby or thereby have been paid or shall have been paid if and when due.  Except to the extent provided in the Tax Equity Financing Documents, no Relevant Party is liable for Taxes payable by any other Person.

(K)    Accuracy of Information.  The written information (other than financial projections, forward looking statements, and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) that has been made available to the Paying Agent, the Verification Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof in connection with the transactions hereunder including any written statement or certificate of factual information, when taken as a whole, does not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in the light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto).
(L)    No Material Adverse Effect.  Since the date of delivery of the latest audited financial statements for a fiscal year of SEI pursuant to Section 5.1(A)(i), there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower has good title to all of its properties and assets necessary in the ordinary conduct of its business, free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens and Permitted Equity Liens.  Once executed and delivered, the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement create, as security for the Obligations, a valid and enforceable and (coupled with this Agreement and the taking of all actions required thereunder and under the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement for perfection) perfected security interest in and Lien on all of the

The Sale and Contribution Agreement creates a valid sale, transfer and/or assignment from the Seller to the Borrower of all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Conveyed Property in each case conveyed to the Borrower thereunder.

The Borrower has given reasonably equivalent value to the Seller (which may include additional Capital Stock in the Borrower) in consideration for the transfer to the Borrower by the Seller of the Conveyed Property conveyed to the Borrower under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, and no such transfer has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Borrower.

Interest shall be calculated through the

Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Class B Lenders to the bank account designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time and interest shall be calculated to and include the next Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Class B Lenders to the bank account designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York time.  Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Class A Lenders as to the Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders (solely in such capacity) or otherwise and without recourse to the Class A Lenders, except that the Class A Lenders shall represent and warrant: (a) the amount of Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders (solely in such capacity) being purchased and that the purchase price and other sums payable by the Class B Lenders are true, correct and accurate amounts, (b) that the Class A Lenders shall convey the Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders (solely in such capacity) free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances of the Class A Lenders or created or suffered by the Class A Lenders, (c) as to all claims made or threatened in writing against the Class A Lenders related to the Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders (solely in such capacity), and (d) the Class A Lenders are duly authorized to assign the Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders (solely in such capacity).

Sale of Collateral  (A)  The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to this Article VI, the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all Collateral shall have been sold or until all Obligations (other than contingent obligations not then due) hereunder have been paid in full. The Administrative Agent acting on its own or through an agent, may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.
(B)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, upon the written request of the Majority Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit (including pursuant to a “credit sale” to a Lender or an assignee thereof) or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may require.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the consummation of any sale of the Collateral pursuant to this Article VI and any other Transaction Document (either private or public), the Administrative Agent shall first offer the Class B Lenders the opportunity to purchase the Collateral for a purchase price equal to the greater of (x) the fair market value of the Collateral and (y) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Class A Advances, plus accrued interest thereon and fees owed thereto (such right, the “Right of First Refusal”).  If the Class B Lenders do not exercise the Right of First Refusal within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent shall sell the Collateral as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.4 and pursuant to the other Transaction Documents; provided, further, that if the Class B Lenders do not exercise the Right of First Refusal and the Administrative Agent elects to sell the Collateral in a private sale to a third party, then prior to the sale thereof, the Administrative Agent shall offer the Class B Lenders the opportunity to purchase the Collateral for the purchase price being offered by such third party, and the Class B Lenders shall have two (2) Business Days to accept such offer.

If at any time a Letter of Credit is held by the Paying Agent as an asset of the Supplemental Reserve Account, then:  (i) if the Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire by its terms and ten (10) days prior to the scheduled expiration date such Letter of Credit has not been extended or replaced, then the Borrower (or the Facility Administrator on behalf of the Borrower) or the Administrative Agent shall on such tenth (10th) day prior to the scheduled expiration date notify the Paying Agent in writing of such failure to extend or replace the Letter of Credit, and the Paying Agent shall, submit the drawing documents delivered to it by the Borrower (or the Facility Administrator on behalf of the Borrower) or the Administrative Agent to the Eligible Letter of Credit Bank no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the scheduled expiration date and draw the full amount of such Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds of such drawing into the Supplemental Reserve Account, and (ii) if the Borrower (or the Facility Administrator on behalf of the Borrower) or the Administrative Agent notifies the Paying Agent in writing that the financial institution issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Eligible Letter of Credit Bank or a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent otherwise receives written notice that the financial institution issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Eligible Letter of Credit Bank, then the Paying Agent shall, no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after receipt of any such written notice by a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent submit the drawing documents delivered to it by the Borrower (or the Facility Administrator on behalf of the Borrower) or the Administrative Agent to draw the full amount of such Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds of such drawing into the Supplemental Reserve Account. 
If at any time a Letter of Credit is held by the Paying Agent as an asset of the Supplemental Reserve Account, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced from time to time, to the extent of any reduction in the dollar amount of the Supplemental Reserve Account Required Balance.  Each month upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Facility Administrator Report if such Facility Administrator Report shows a reduction in the Supplemental Reserve Account Required Balance, then the Borrower (or the Facility Administrator on behalf of the Borrower) or the Administrative Agent shall, prior to the related Payment Date, direct the Paying Agent to send the Eligible Letter of Credit Bank a letter in the form provided in the Letter of Credit to reduce the stated amount of the Letter of Credit. The Borrower (or the Facility Administrator on behalf of the Borrower) or the Administrative Agent shall ensure that the letter submitted shall provide for the reduction to be effective as of the close of business on the related Payment Date. The reduction shall be in the amount shown on the Facility Administrator Report as the Supplemental Reserve Account “reductions” and the remaining stated amount of the Letter of Credit shall be equal to the Supplemental Reserve Account Required Balance “ending required amount” as shown on the Facility Administrator Report. Any drawing on the Letter of Credit may be reimbursed by the Borrower only from amounts remitted to the Borrower pursuant to clauses (xvii) or (xviii) of Section 2.7(B) or clauses (vi) or (vii) of Section 2.7(C).
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall the Paying Agent be required to report, track, calculate or monitor the value, available amount or any other information regarding any Letter of Credit for any party hereto or beneficiary of or under the Supplemental Reserve Account, except as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.2(D).

     (E)    Deposits and Withdrawals from the SAP Revenue Account.  Deposits into the SAP Revenue Account shall be made consistent with Section 5.1(R).  The Paying Agent shall withdraw all amounts on deposit in the SAP Revenue Account in excess of $25,000 on the first Business Day of each calendar month and remit such amounts to the Collection Account.  The Manager shall be permitted to withdraw up to $25,000 in the aggregate during each Collection Period from the SAP Revenue Account to pay Operational Amounts in accordance with the related SAP Financing Documents.  On the date on which the Aggregate Outstanding Advances are reduced to zero, the Administrative Agent shall cause the Paying Agent, pursuant to a written direction, to withdraw all amounts on deposit in the SAP Revenue and deposit such amounts into the Collection Account to be paid in accordance with Section 2.7(B).
(F)    Paying Agent Account Control.  (i)  Each Paying Agent Account shall be established and at all times maintained with the Paying Agent which shall act as a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) hereunder (in such capacities, the “Securities Intermediary”) with respect to each Paying Agent Account. The Paying Agent hereby confirms that, as of the Closing Date, the account numbers of each of the Paying Agent Accounts are as described on Schedule II attached hereto.
(ii)    Each Paying Agent Account shall be a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC and shall be maintained by the Paying Agent as a securities intermediary for and in the name of the Borrower, subject to the lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  The Paying Agent shall treat the Administrative Agent as the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of all “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to the Paying Agent Accounts.
(iii)    The Paying Agent hereby confirms and agrees that:
(a)    the Paying Agent shall not change the name or account number of any Paying Agent Account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;
(b)    all securities or other property underlying any financial assets (as hereinafter defined) credited to a Paying Agent Account shall be registered in the name of the Paying Agent, indorsed to the Paying Agent or indorsed in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Paying Agent, and in no case will any financial asset credited to a Paying Agent Account be registered in the name of the Borrower or any other Person, payable to the Borrower or specially indorsed to the Borrower or any other Person, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or in blank;
(c)    all property transferred or delivered to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement will be credited to the appropriate Borrower Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(d)    each Paying Agent Account is an account to which financial assets are or may be credited, and the Paying Agent shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat each of the Borrower and the Facility Administrator as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to each such Paying Agent Account; and
(e)    notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, to the extent that any Paying Agent Account shall be determined to constitute a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC, such Paying Agent Account shall be subject to the exclusive control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Paying Agent will comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing disposition of the funds in such Paying Agent Account, without further consent by the Borrower or the Facility Administrator; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent hereby authorizes the Paying Agent to honor withdrawal, payment, transfer or other instructions directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account received from the Borrower or the Facility Administrator, on its behalf, pursuant to Section 2.7 or this Section 8.2.
(iv)    The Paying Agent hereby agrees that each item of property (including, without limitation, any investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to any Paying Agent Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
(v)    If at any time the Paying Agent shall receive an “entitlement order” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) (an “Entitlement Order”) from the Administrative Agent (i.e., an order directing a transfer or redemption of any financial asset in any Paying Agent Account), or any “instruction” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC), originated by the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent shall comply with such Entitlement Order or instruction without further consent by the Borrower, the Facility Administrator or any other Person.  Neither the Facility Administrator nor the Borrower shall make any withdrawals from any Paying Agent Account, except pursuant to Section 2.7 or this Section 8.2.
(vi)    In the event that the Paying Agent has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Paying Agent Account or any financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited thereto or any security entitlement with respect thereto, the Paying Agent hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited to any Paying Agent Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (except that the Paying Agent may set-off (i) all amounts due to the Paying Agent in its capacity as securities intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Paying Agent Accounts, and (ii) the face amount of any checks that have been credited to the Paying Agent Accounts but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(vii)    Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the “security intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC).
(viii)    If, at any time, the Paying Agent resigns, is removed hereunder or ceases to meet the eligibility requirements of an Eligible Institution, the Facility Administrator, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall within thirty (30) days establish a new Collection Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, the SAP Revenue Account, and Takeout Transaction Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and transfer any cash and/or any investments held therein or with respect thereto to such new Collection Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, or Takeout Transaction Account, as applicable.  From the date such new Collection Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, or Takeout Transaction Account is established, it shall be the “Collection Account,” “Supplemental Reserve Account,” “Liquidity Reserve Account,” “SAP Revenue Account,” or “Takeout Transaction Account” hereunder, as applicable.
(G)    Permitted Investments.  Prior to an Event of Default, the Facility Administrator (and after an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent) may direct each banking institution at which the Collection Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, or Takeout Transaction Account shall be established, in writing, to invest the funds held in such accounts in one or more Permitted Investments. Absent such written direction, such funds shall remain uninvested. All investments of funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, or Takeout Transaction Account shall be uninvested so that such funds will be available on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the funds are to be disbursed from such account, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein.  All interest derived from such Permitted Investments shall be deemed to be “investment proceeds” and shall be deposited into such account to be distributed in accordance with the requirements hereof.  The taxpayer identification number associated with the Collection Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, and Takeout Transaction Account shall be that of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall report for federal, state and local income tax purposes the income, if any, earned on funds in such accounts.

Any Eligible Solar Asset in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

Section 9.6.    Successor Paying Agent.  The Paying Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that no such resignation shall become effective until a successor Paying Agent that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, to the extent no Event of Default or Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, has been appointed hereunder.  The Paying Agent may be removed at any time for cause by at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice received by the Paying Agent from the Administrative Agent.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent that is satisfactory to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default or Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing).  If no successor Paying Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the exiting Paying Agent’s giving notice of resignation or receipt of notice of removal, then the exiting Paying Agent may, at the sole expense (including all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ reasonable and documented fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such petition) of the Borrower, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Paying Agent hereunder by a successor Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the exiting Paying Agent, and the exiting Paying Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any exiting Paying Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Paying Agent hereunder.  If the Paying Agent consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers or sells all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person without any further act shall be the successor Paying Agent.

necessary, of one local counsel and/or one regulatory counsel in any material relevant jurisdiction); provided, that the foregoing indemnity and reimbursement obligation will not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to (A) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) to the extent they are found in a final non‐appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of, or with respect to Indemnitees other than the Paying Agent or the Verification Agent, material breach of the Transaction Documents by, such Indemnitee or any of its affiliates or controlling persons or any of the officers, directors, employees, advisors or agents of any of the foregoing or (ii) arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of their Affiliates and that is brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as Paying Agent, agent, arranger or any other similar role in connection with the Transaction Documents) or (B) any settlement entered into by such Indemnitee without the Borrower’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  This Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, liabilities, claims and damages arising from any non‐Tax Proceeding.  The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the discharge, termination or assignment of this Agreement or any related agreement or the earlier of the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent or the Verification Agent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.5, the provisions of this Section shall be applied without prejudice to, and the provisions shall not have the effect of diminishing, the rights of the Paying Agent and any Paying Agent Indemnified Parties under Section 9.5 of this Agreement or any other provision of any Transaction Document providing for the indemnification of any such Persons.

The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable and documented counsel fees and expenses) (A) in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Loan Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder and (B) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent in connection with the transactions described herein and in the other Transaction Documents, or any potential Takeout Transaction, including in any case reasonable and documented counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 10.6.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent or its counsel may at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, engage professional consultants selected by the Administrative Agent to conduct additional due diligence with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including (A) review and independently assess the existing methodology employed by the Borrower in allocating Collections with respect to the Collateral, assess the reasonableness of the methodology for the equitable allocation of those Collections and make any recommendations to amend the methodology, if appropriate, (B) review the financial forecasts submitted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and assess the reasonableness and feasibility of those forecasts and make any recommendations based on that review, if appropriate, and (C) verify the asset base of the Borrower and the Borrower’s valuation of their assets, as well as certain matters related thereto.  The reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such professional consultants, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.6, shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

Section 10.7.    Right of Set‐off; Ratable Payments; Relations Among Lenders.  (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and subject to the prior payment of Obligations owed to the Paying Agent, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by and other indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Agreement at any time owing to the Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Loan Notes, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lenders shall have made any demand under this Agreement or the Loan Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set‐off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‐off and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 10.7(A) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set‐off) which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have.
(B)    If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Advances in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such other Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Advances held by the Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable share of Advances.  If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon written demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them.  In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
(C)    Except with respect to the exercise of set‐off rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 10.7(A), the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Collateral or Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of the other Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, at the direction of the Administrative Agent.
(D)    The Lenders are not partners or co‐venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

Section 10.8.    Binding Effect; Assignment.  (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Verification Agent and the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right assign to their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and any assignment by Borrower in violation of this Section 10.8 shall be null and void.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any Loan Note to a Federal Reserve Bank and each Conduit Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Program Support Provider; provided, that no such assignment or pledge shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.  Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or any part or portion of, or may grant participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or any part or portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, its Commitment, its Loan Notes or its Advances); provided that during the Availability Period, no Lender may transfer or assign any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Note to a Disqualified Lender; provided further that each such assignment (A) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto or any other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) shall either be made (i) to a Permitted Assignee or (ii) to a Person that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default or Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b)    If any assignment or participation is made to a Disqualified Lender in violation of this Section 10.8, the Borrower may upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) purchase or prepay the Advances held by such Disqualified Lender by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Advances, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.8), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other entities at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.
Disqualified Lenders (A) will not, absent an Event of Default or consent from the Borrower (x) have the right to receive financial reports that are not publicly available, Facility Administrator Reports or other reports or confidential information provided to Lenders by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (other than Tax reporting information with respect to the Advances), (y) attend or participate in meetings with the Borrower attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site maintained by the Borrower or Administrative Agent to provide Lenders with confidential information or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy 


-86-

Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the a bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).
(c)    Upon, and to the extent of, any assignment (unless otherwise stated therein) made by any Lender hereunder, the assignee or purchaser of such assignment shall be a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.17(G)) of a Lender hereunder.  Each Funding Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders in its Lender Group, the outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of the Advances owing to each Lender in its Lender Group pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and any assignment of such outstanding Advances.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Paying Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participation interests in its Advances and obligations hereunder (each such recipient of a participation a “Participant”); provided that after giving effect to the sale of such participation, such Lender’s obligations hereunder and rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, all amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and all rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation interest, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender and not be obligated to deal with such participant.  The Participant shall have no right to affect such Lender’s vote or action with respect to any matter requiring such Lender’s vote or action under this Agreement.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103‐1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each recipient of a participation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.17(G)), hereunder with respect to the rights and benefits so participated as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder, except that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 2.17 than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent 


-87-

such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) a Lender may pledge as collateral, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights in, to and under this Agreement to a security trustee in connection with the funding by such Lender of Advances without the consent of the Borrower; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release such Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) a Conduit Lender may at any time, without any requirement to obtain the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of capital and yield) under this Agreement to a collateral agent or trustee for its commercial paper program.
Section 10.9.    GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5‐1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
