to time in an aggregate principal amount up to such Committed Lender’s Commitment at any such time; provided, however, that after making any such Loans: (a) such Committed Lender’s Principal Obligation would not
exceed such Committed Lender’s Commitment as of such date; (b) the Principal Obligation of such Committed Lender’s Lender Group would not exceed the aggregate applicable Lender Group Limit of such Lender Group; and (c) the

penalty or premium (subject to Section 4.05), and re-borrow hereunder, during the Availability Period. Each Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be funded ratably by each Lender Group in accordance with
its Applicable Percentage and, if applicable, by a Committed Lender in a particular Lender Group in accordance with such Committed Lender’s Applicable Percentage. No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable
thereto hereunder would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan. 
 2.02 Borrowing Procedures. 

(a) Request for Borrowing. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loans or Base
Rate Loans from one Type of Loan to another, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the applicable Borrower Party’s irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Unless otherwise
agreed by Administrative Agent, each such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing other than for a Base Rate
Loan; (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the conversion of Base Rate Loans to another Type of Loan, the conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan) to another Type of Loan or the continuation of


  
 35 








 
Eurocurrency Rate Loans; (iii) five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies; and
(iv) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by a Borrower Party pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to
Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower Party (and each Loan Notice submitted by a Qualified Borrower must be countersigned by a Responsible Officer of Borrower).
Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify: (A) whether the Borrower Party is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a Floating LIBOR Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan to another Type of Loan, or a
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans; (B) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day, the “Loan Date”); (C) the principal amount of Loans to
be borrowed, converted or continued; (D) if any portion of such Borrowing is not to be funded by a Conduit Lender through the issuance of Commercial Paper, whether such portion of such Borrowing is to be funded instead as a Base Rate Loan or a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan (it being understood that if any Conduit Lender elects to fund any portion of a Loan through its Liquidity Provider, such Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent shall determine whether such portion shall bear interest based on
the Eurocurrency Rate or the Base Rate for the period prior to the time such portion of such Loan is funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper); (E) the Type of Loans to which any existing Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate
Loans or Base Rate Loans are to be converted; (F) with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto; (G) to which account the proceeds of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation should be
directed; and (H) the currency of the Loans to be borrowed. If a Borrower Party fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If a Borrower Party fails to specify a
Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if a Borrower Party fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base
Rate Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an
Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If Borrower fails to specify an
Interest Period with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in
the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency. 
 (b) Administrative Agent Notification.
Following receipt of a Loan Notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Funding Agent of the amount (and currency) of its Lender Group’s Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or
continuation is provided by a Borrower Party, Administrative Agent shall notify each Funding Agent of the details of any automatic conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in a currency other
than Dollars described in the preceding subsection. 
 (c) Conduit Lender Determination and Committed Lender
Commitment. Upon receipt of a Loan Notice from Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent shall request the Conduit Lender (if any) in its Lender Group to make the Loan, and such Conduit Lender may from time to time during the Availability Period,
in its sole discretion, agree or decline to make the Loan. At no time will any Conduit Lender have any obligation to fund a Loan. At all times on and after the Conduit Investment Termination Date for a Conduit Lender, or if Conduit Lender


  
 36 








 
has failed for whatever reason to fund its portion of a Borrowing in full, all Loans shall be made by the Committed Lenders of such Conduit Lender’s Lender Group. At any time when a Conduit
Lender has rejected a request for Loan (it being understood that if a Conduit Lender does not fund any Loan in relation to which all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.02 have been satisfied on the date set forth
in the applicable Loan Notice, such Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the request for Loan), such Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent shall so notify the Committed Lenders in such Conduit Lender’s Lender Group and such Committed
Lenders shall make such Loan in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02(c) or elsewhere in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, no Committed Lender shall be
obligated to provide Administrative Agent or any Borrower Party with funds in connection with a Loan in an amount that would result in such Committed Lender’s Principal Obligation exceeding its Commitment then in effect by any such Committed
Lender as a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement, and all Loans funded by a Conduit Lender shall be CP Rate Loans. 

(d) Reserved. 

(e) Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower Parties shall not have the right
to have more than seven (7) Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period. 

(f) Continuations and Conversions of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and Automatic Continuation of CP Rate Loans. Except as
otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default or Default under
Section 11.01(a), 11.01(g) and 11.01(h), the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in
the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or otherwise on demand. Any CP Rate Loan shall automatically continue as a CP Rate Loan without any further action of any Borrower
Party. 
 2.03 Minimum Loan Amounts. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans shall be in a principal amount that is
an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000, and each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided,
however, that a Base Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. 

2.04 Funding. 

(a) Funding by Committed Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Each Conduit Lender and each Committed Lender, as
the case may be, shall, in accordance with the terms hereof, on any Loan Date make the proceeds of its Applicable Percentage of each Borrowing available to Administrative Agent in Dollars at Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable
currency for the account of the appropriate Borrower Party (or, if otherwise agreed between such Lender and such Borrower Party and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, directly to such Borrower Party as specified in the
Loan Notice, or, if requested by such Borrower Party in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested) no later than 2:00 p.m. in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by
the Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Loan Date in Same Day Funds, and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly deposit such
proceeds in Same 

  
 37 








 
Day Funds in such Borrower Party’s account at Administrative Agent specified in the Loan Notice, or, if requested by such Borrower Party in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as
requested; provided, however, that (i) if, in connection with a particular Credit Extension, the 2:00 p.m. time in this sentence is not met as a result of an operational or technical error, issue or oversight, then the
2:00 p.m. time in this sentence shall instead be 3:00 p.m. and (ii) if a single entity is the only Lender, such Lender may wire such funds directly to the Borrower Party (or as directed by the Borrower Party) as specified in the Loan
Notice. The failure of any Committed Lender to advance the proceeds of its respective share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Applicable
Percentage of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Funding Agent prior to the proposed Loan Date that a Conduit Lender or a Committed Lender in such Lender Group will not make available to
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share, as applicable, of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that each Committed Lender and each Conduit Lender, as the case may be, has made its Applicable Percentage of the requested Borrowing
available to Administrative Agent on the applicable Loan Date and in the applicable currency, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the appropriate Borrower Party a corresponding
amount. 
 (b) Obligations of Committed Lenders Several. The obligations of the Committed Lenders hereunder to make
Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 13.06(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Committed Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 13.06(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Committed Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 13.06(c). 

(c) Commercial Paper. Each Conduit Lender confirms that, to the extent permitted by its commercial paper program
documentation, it intends to fund all Loans hereunder through the issuance of its Commercial Paper at all times prior to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the termination date specified in its Liquidity Agreement, an Event of Default or certain
other circumstances occurring in the financial or Commercial Paper markets in general or with respect to the Loan Documents, or any Borrower Party in particular which, in the opinion of such, Conduit Lender or its Funding Agent or Administrator,
make funding the Loans through the issuance of Commercial Paper reasonably inadvisable. 

  
 38 








 2.05 Interest. 

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below: 

(i) (A) each CP Rate Loan funded by a Conduit Lender through the issuance of Commercial Paper shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the CP Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for CP Rate Loans, and (B) each CP Rate Loan funded by a Conduit Lender through
its Liquidity Provider shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Floating LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for CP Rate Loans or the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin for CP Rate Loans, each in accordance with Section 2.02, for each day in such Interest Period prior to the day on which such funding has been refinanced through the issuance of Commercial Paper and at the CP Rate
for the remainder of such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for CP Rate Loans; 
 (ii) each Eurocurrency Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Rate Loans plus (in
the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost, all in accordance with Section 2.02; 

(iii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.02; and 
 (iv)
each Floating LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Floating LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Floating LIBOR Rate Loans plus (in the case of a Floating
LIBOR Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost, all in accordance with Section 2.02. 

(b) Default Rate. 

(i) If any amount of principal of the Obligations is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), then
(in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.05(a) above) such amount shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate. 

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of the Obligations) payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.05(a) above), such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate. 

(iii) Upon the request of Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in
Section 2.05(a) above) the principal amount of the Obligations shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until
such Event of Default is cured or is waived. 

  
 39 








 2.06 Determination of Rate and Billing. Each change in the rate of interest for any
Borrowing or any portion thereof shall become effective, without prior notice to the Borrower Parties, automatically as of the opening of business of Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
Borrower and the Committed Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate and Floating LIBOR Rate by Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The applicable CP Rate shall be determined for each Conduit Lender by the applicable Funding Agent and reported, together with a calculation of any accrued interest and fees for the
applicable period (but excluding any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.09) payable to such Conduit Lender on any Interest Payment Date, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days
prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided that, if such Funding Agent fails to report the CP Rate to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by such time, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use the interest rate being paid
to the non-Conduit Lenders for such applicable period for any such non-reporting Conduit Lender (provided that such amount paid to any non-reporting Conduit Lender shall be trued-up on the following applicable Interest Payment Date upon five
(5) Business Days prior notice). The Administrative Agent will bill the Borrower on behalf of all Lenders with respect to interest on Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loans and CP Rate Loans. 

2.07 Payment of Borrower Guaranty. In consideration of Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower hereunder, and
to accept Borrower’s guaranty pursuant to Section 6, Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Funding Agents and the Lenders, to disburse directly to Lenders, with
notice to Borrower, in Same Day Funds an amount equal to the amount due and owing under Section 6, together with all interest, costs, expenses and fees due to Lenders pursuant thereto in the event (i) Administrative Agent
shall have not received payment from such Qualified Borrower of its Obligations when due or (ii) any Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(a), 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) occurs with respect to
such Qualified Borrower. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower of any disbursement made to Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement. Any
such disbursement made by Administrative Agent to Lenders shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan, and Borrower shall be deemed to have given to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.02(a),
a Loan Notice with respect thereto. Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on Lenders as to the amount due to Lenders under Section 6. 

2.08 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely for the purposes permitted under the Operating Agreement and the
Constituent Documents of the Qualified Borrowers. None of the Lenders, Agents, or Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, and
none of the Lenders, Agents, or Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans are for purposes permitted above. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing,
any continuation or conversion thereof in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by any Agent, any
Lender or Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by Borrower is permitted by the terms of the Operating Agreement or the Constituent Documents of any Qualified Borrower. 

2.09 Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3 and subject to
Section 2.12(a)(iii), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each 

  
 40 








 
Committed Lender, an unused commitment fee which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the product of: (i) the average daily difference during the immediately preceding calendar
quarter between (A) such Committed Lender’s Commitment and (B) such Committed Lender’s Lender Group’s outstanding Principal Obligation during such calendar quarter (such product the “Unused
Commitment”), and (ii)(x) if at any time the aggregate Unused Commitment is equal to or less than 50% of the Maximum Commitment, then the rate equal to 0.25% per annum and (y) at any time the aggregate Unused Commitment
is greater than 50% of the Maximum Commitment, then the rate equal to 0.35% per annum. The unused commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter and on the
Maturity Date for the period from the end of the preceding calendar quarter until the Maturity Date. Borrower and Committed Lenders acknowledge and agree that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are
intended as reasonable compensation to Committed Lenders for committing to make funds available to Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes and shall be due and payable whether or not the conditions precedent in
Section 7.02 are satisfied. 
 2.10 Reserved. 

2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest with respect to the Base Rate (including Base Rate Loans determined
by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual
days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan from and including the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.03, bear interest for one day. 

2.12 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, if any Committed Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Committed Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 13.01. 

(ii) Defaulting Lender Applications. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by
Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 13.02, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent in the following order: (a) to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent
hereunder; (b) as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as
determined by Administrative Agent; (c) if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations
with 

  
 41 








 
respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement; (d) to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; (e) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and (f) to such Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if: (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and
(y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, all Lender Groups of
Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Repayment Percentage (without giving effect to the Principal Obligation of such Defaulting Lender) prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Committed Lenders in accordance with each such Committed Lender’s Repayment Percentage (without giving effect to the Principal Obligation held by such Defaulting Lender).
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably
consents hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. 

(A) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any unused commitment fee payable under Section 2.09
for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender). 

(B) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09, Borrower shall not be required to pay the remaining
amount of any such fee. 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a
Committed Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Committed Lender will, to
the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion (not otherwise funded by its Lender Group) of outstanding Loans of the other Lender Groups or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be
held among the Lender Groups (and the Committed Lenders therein) in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon such Committed Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively
with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Committed Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Committed Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Committed Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

2.13 Extension of Stated Maturity Date. So long as no (x) Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the
Stated Maturity Date and (y) the representations and warranties contained in Section 8 or in any other Loan Document shall be true and correct on, and as of, the Stated 

  
 42 








 
Maturity Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and
except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.06 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 9.01, Borrower may extend the Stated Maturity Date to a date that is not later than 364 days after the then-effective Stated Maturity Date, no more
than two times, upon: (a) delivery of a Facility Extension Request to Administrative Agent not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect; and (b) payment to Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Lenders of a facility extension fee equal to 25 basis points on the then-existing Maximum Commitment (i.e., 0.25% times the then-existing Maximum Commitment). Such extension shall be evidenced by delivery of written confirmation of the
same by Administrative Agent to Borrower. 
 2.14 Increase in the Maximum Commitment. 

(a) Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrower from time to time, increase the Maximum Commitment to the amount
requested by Borrower by: (x) admitting additional committed lenders hereunder (each, a “Subsequent Committed Lender”); or (y) increasing the Commitment of any Committed Lender (each, an “Increasing
Committed Lender”); or both, subject to the following conditions and Section 2.14(c): 
 (i)
Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Request (and Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies of such notice to Funding Agents); 

(ii) If requested pursuant to Section 3.01, Borrower shall, as applicable, execute a new Note payable to
each Subsequent Committed Lender and Increasing Committed Lender; 
 (iii) After giving effect to the increase in the
Committed Lender’s Commitment, the Maximum Commitment will not exceed the Maximum Accordion Amount; 
 (iv) The increase
in the aggregate amount of Committed Lenders’ Commitments shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000; 
 (v) No
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such increase in the Committed Lenders’ Commitments; 

(vi) As of the date of such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Section 8 shall be
true and correct in all material respects, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date; except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to any earlier date, in which case they shall be true and
correct as of such earlier date and except that for the purposes of this Section 2.14(a)(vi), the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.06 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial
statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 9.01; and 

(vii) Borrower shall pay the applicable Facility Increase Fee. 

  
 43 








 (b) With respect to each Facility Increase Request delivered pursuant to
Section 2.14(a)(i), Administrative Agent agrees that: 
 (i) Administrative Agent will use its best
efforts to syndicate the requested increase of the Maximum Commitment; 
 (ii) each Subsequent Committed Lender shall be
approved (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and 
 (iii)
Administrative Agent shall cause: (A) unless previously agreed in writing, each Increasing Committed Lender to consent to such increase in writing; and (B) each Subsequent Committed Lender to execute a joinder to this Credit Agreement
in the form of Exhibit K. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything else in the foregoing: (i) no
admission of any Subsequent Committed Lender shall increase the Commitment of any existing Committed Lender without such existing Committed Lender’s consent; (ii) no Committed Lender shall become an Increasing Committed Lender without such
Committed Lender’s consent; and (iii) except for an increase in connection with Section 2.13, no increase will be permitted after Borrower has decreased the Maximum Commitment under Section 3.06. 

(d) If Administrative Agent deems it advisable, Borrower and each Lender agree to execute an amendment to this Credit
Agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent, to document an increase in the Maximum Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14. 
  

	3.	PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. 

 3.01 Notes. 

(a) The Borrowings funded by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender (or
its Funding Agent) and by Administrative Agent in the Register in the ordinary course of business. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of such Borrower Party hereunder to pay
any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender (or its Funding Agent, if applicable) and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such
matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 (b) Any Funding
Agent, on behalf of any Lender member of its Lender Group, may request that the Loans to be made by such Lender Group to the Borrower shall be evidenced by promissory notes. Qualified Borrower obligations shall not be evidenced by separate
promissory notes. If so requested, the Borrower shall issue such Notes. Each such Note shall: (a) be payable to the Funding Agent for such Lender Group or such other administrator or trustee for the Lender member of such Lender Group as
such Funding Agent may designate (or, if requested by such Funding Agent, to such Funding Agent and its registered assigns); (b) bear interest in accordance with the provisions hereof; (c) be in the form of Exhibit B,
attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (d) be made by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent or any applicable Funding Agent, to reissue new
Notes, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore 

  
 44 








 
provided, to any Committed Lender or Conduit Lender and to any Assignee of such Lender in accordance with Section 13.12, in substitution for the Notes previously issued by the
Borrower to the Funding Agent or other party, as appropriate and in accordance herewith for the affected Lender, and such previously issued Notes shall be returned to the Borrower marked “cancelled”. 

3.02 Payment of Interest. 

(a) Interest. Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms
of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Sections 2.06 and 2.11,
notwithstanding whether any Borrower Party received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date and even if such Borrowing is held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement. When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire
transfer pursuant to instructions received from a Borrower Party, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, in accordance with the Loan Notice, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving
bank. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other Same Day Funds by Administrative Agent. 

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations, including any interest payable on any Loan
prepaid pursuant to Section 3.05, shall be due and payable: (i) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (for the fiscal quarter then ended with respect to Base Rate Loans and Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, for the Interest
Period then ended with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and for all accrued and unpaid interest to date with respect to CP Rate Loans) and on the Maturity Date, (ii) on each other date of any reduction of the Principal Obligation hereunder
(other than a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 3.05); and (iii) with respect to any obligation of a Borrower Party hereunder on which such Borrower Party is in default, at any time and from time to time following such
default upon demand by Administrative Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

(c) Direct Disbursement. If, at any time, Administrative Agent shall not have received on the date due, any payment of
interest upon the Loans or any fee described herein, Administrative Agent may direct the disbursement of funds from the applicable Collateral Account to Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent available therein for payment of any
such amount. 
 3.03 Payments of Obligations. 

(a) Maturity Date. The principal amount of the Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued
but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Payments Generally. All payments of
principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by any Borrower Party to or for the account of Lenders, or any of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff by
such Borrower Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be made to Administrative


  
 45 








 
Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders and Lender Groups to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than
1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by
the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Credit Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, Borrower
is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. Funds received by Administrative Agent:
(i) after 1:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be treated for all purposes as having
been received by Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. Except as provided in Section 13.11(c), each Lender shall be
entitled to receive its applicable share of each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly
distributed by Administrative Agent to the appropriate Funding Agent. If any payment to be made by any Borrower Party shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. Each Funding Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to apply the amounts received in respect of such repayments to the outstanding Loans of the Lenders members of its Lender
Group so as to minimize broken funding payments payable pursuant to Section 4.05. 
 (c) Clawback.

 (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Funding Agent prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or CP Rate Loan (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender Group will not make
available to Administrative Agent such Lender Group’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender Group has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04 (or, in the case
of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender Group has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.04) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable
Borrower Party a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender Group has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the Committed Lenders in such Lender Group and the applicable Borrower Party
severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower Party to but excluding the
date of payment to Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Committed Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in
connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower Party, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if funds are not available to such Borrower


  
 46 








 
Party in the Collateral Account to make payment on demand, to the extent that it is necessary for Borrower to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment, such payment shall be made
within fifteen (15) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand (and, in any event, Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notices and shall make such payment promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received). If
any Borrower Party and such Committed Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower Party the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower
Party for such period. If such Committed Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Committed Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing as of the date of such
Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower Party shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower Party may have against a Committed Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent. 

(ii) Payments by Borrower Parties; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Borrower Party prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Funding Agent hereunder that such Borrower Party will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower
Party has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Funding Agent the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower Party has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Committed Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Funding Agent’s Lender Group, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. 
 A notice of
Administrative Agent to any Committed Lender or any Borrower Party with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(d) General Order of Application. Each such repayment shall be applied to repay all outstanding Loans ratably. All
payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following order: (a) against all costs, expenses and other fees (including Attorney Costs) arising under the terms hereof; (b) against the
amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (c) against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; and (d) to all other amounts constituting any portion of
the Obligations. 
 3.04 Mandatory Prepayment. If, on any day, the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Commitment (including,
without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event, the delivery of an Initial Notice or the application of any Aggregate Concentration Limit or Individual Concentration Limit (a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”)), then the
applicable Borrower Party shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an amount sufficient that, after giving effect to such prepayment and any Capital Calls to fund it, the Principal Obligation would no longer exceed the
Available Commitment, in Same Day Funds: (a) promptly on demand (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after such demand), to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Account; (b) within
fifteen (15) Business Days of demand to the extent that it is necessary for Borrower to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment (and Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notices during such time) and shall pay such
excess, promptly after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call Notice are received; and (c) by, if applicable, the effective date of any Spin-Off. 

  
 47 








 3.05 Voluntary Prepayments. Any Borrower Party may, upon notice to Administrative Agent,
at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than: (A) 11:00 a.m.
(i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Loans accruing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate, Floating LIBOR Rate or the CP Rate; and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of
Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies; and (B) 11:00 a.m. (i) one (1) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate; and (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a
minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such
prepayment, if applicable, the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Funding Agent of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of its Lender Group’s Repayment Percentage of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by a Borrower Party, such Borrower Party shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. With respect to any Loan prepaid pursuant
to this Section 3.05, all accrued interest thereon shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.02(b) and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4 with respect thereto shall be
promptly paid following receipt of an accurate and correct invoice for such amounts. Subject to Section 2.12, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Principal Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its applicable
Repayment Percentage. 
 3.06 Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate the aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Maximum
Commitment hereunder shall at no time equal an aggregate amount of less than $25,000,000, and (iv) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
Principal Obligation would exceed the Available Commitments. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Committed Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the aggregate Commitments
shall be applied to the Commitment of each Committed Lender according to its pro rata share thereof. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such
termination. 
 3.07 Lending Office. Each Lender may: (a) designate the principal office or a branch, subsidiary or
Affiliate of such Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Loan; and (b) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower. In such event, the
Funding Agent for such Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Committed Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in
any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.06, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Committed Lender shall, regardless of such Committed Lender’s actual means of funding, be
deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by the Borrower Parties for such Borrowing period. 
  

	4.	CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. 

 4.01 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. 

  
 48 








 (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower
Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Law 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, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e)
below. 
 (ii) If any applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including
both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then: (A) the applicable Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Withholding Agent to be required based upon
the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below; (B) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with the Code; and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding
or the making of all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 
 (iii) If any applicable Withholding Agent shall be
required by any applicable Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then: (A) the applicable Withholding Agent, as required by such Law, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be
required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below; (B) the applicable Withholding Agent, to the extent required by such Law, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws; and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower Party shall be increased
as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.01) the applicable
Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 
 (b)
Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, each Borrower Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the
option of Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (c) Tax Indemnifications.

 (i) Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within twenty
(20) 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 4.01) payable or paid by such Recipient,
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed 

  
 49 








 
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, but excluding any penalties, interest, or expenses that are attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the
Recipient. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation and basis such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower Party by a Recipient (with a copy to
Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten
(10) days after demand therefor: (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so); (B) Administrative Agent against any Taxes attributable to such Person’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.11(e)
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (C) Administrative Agent against any Excluded Taxes attributable to Person, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan 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 Lender by Administrative Agent or the Borrower Parties shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.01(c)(ii). 

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by a Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any
payment of Taxes by such Borrower Party or by Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 4.01, such Borrower Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent shall deliver to
such Borrower Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Recipients;
Tax Documentation. 
 (i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with
respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation requested by
Borrower or Administrative 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 a Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable Law, by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction or reasonably requested by a Borrower Party or Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent to determine whether or
not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. A Liquidity Provider that is a Foreign Recipient shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.01 unless Borrower is notified of
the Liquidity Agreement and consents to such 

  
 50 








 
benefits and such Liquidity Provider, for the benefit of the Borrower Parties, complies with this Section 4.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three
sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A), 4.01(e)(ii)(B) and 4.01(e)(ii)(D)) 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 (provided that such Recipient’s internal costs of completing, executing or submitting
such documentation shall not be considered to be material unreimbursed costs or expenses) 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 Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9, or applicable successor form, certifying
that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Recipient shall, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Recipient becomes a Lender under this Credit
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign 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 Loan Document, executed originals of an appropriate IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or
applicable successor form) 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
Loan Document, an appropriate IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) 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 originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, or applicable successor form; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code; (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such Foreign Recipient is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or applicable successor form; or


  
 51 








 (4) to the extent a Foreign Recipient is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or applicable successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit M-2 or Exhibit M-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or
indirect partners of such Foreign Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Recipient may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(5) Executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction
in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 (C) any Foreign Recipient shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Recipient becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or
Administrative Agent), 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 Party or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan 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 Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to
Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent 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 or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative 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 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 Credit Agreement. 
 (iii) Each Recipient agrees that if
any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative
Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

  
 52 








 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient 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 by the Borrower Parties or with respect to which any Borrower Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 4.01, it shall pay to such Borrower Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower Party under this Section 4.01
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund), provided that each Borrower Party, upon the request of such Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to any such Borrower Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to
such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to a
Borrower Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient 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 subsection shall not be construed to require the Recipient to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower Parties or any other Person. 

(g) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.01, the term “Lender” includes any
Liquidity Provider and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA (including any amendments thereto). 
 (h)
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative 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 other Obligations. 
 4.02 Illegality. If any Funding Party
determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Funding Party or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by
reference to the LIBOR Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such
Funding Party to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable offshore interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Funding Party to Borrower Parties through its Funding Agent and the Administrative
Agent: (a) any obligation of such Funding Party to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or make Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, in the affected currency or currencies, or to convert Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Rate
Loans shall be suspended; and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Funding Party making or maintaining Base Rate Loans for which the interest rate is determined by reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate,
the interest rate for Base Rate Loans made by such Funding Party shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such
Funding Party notifies its Funding Agent (which promptly notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower Parties) that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice: (i) the applicable Borrower
Party shall, upon demand from such Funding Party (with a copy to Administrative 

  
 53 








 
Agent), convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans and Floating LIBOR Rate Loans of such Funding Party denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate for which shall, if necessary to avoid
such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Funding Party may lawfully continue to maintain such
Loans to such day, or, if such Funding Party may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans, immediately; and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Funding Party determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate,
Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Funding Party without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate component thereof until Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Funding
Party that it is no longer illegal for such Funding Party to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Floating LIBOR Rate. Upon any such conversion, each such Borrower Party shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. 

4.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof: (a)
Administrative Agent determines that: (i) deposits (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period
of such Loan; or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR (A) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or (B) in
connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan (in each case, with respect to clause (a) above, the “Impacted Loans”); or (b) Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders determine that for any reason the (i) Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or (ii) the Floating LIBOR Rate with respect to a proposed Floating LIBOR Rate Loan, does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Funding Parties of funding such Loan; Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower Parties and each Funding Party. Thereafter: (x) the obligation of the Funding Parties, as
applicable, to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods);
and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Floating LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Floating LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be
suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower Party may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or of Floating LIBOR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Floating LIBOR Rate Loan) in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that,
will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate, in the amount specified therein. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of the first
sentence of this Section, Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative rate to be used in substitution for the LIBOR in calculating the interest rate for the Impacted Loans,
in which case such alternative rate shall apply in calculating interest with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the
first sentence of this Section, (2) Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent and Borrower that such alternative rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Funding Parties of
funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Funding Party determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Funding Party or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed 

  
 54 








 
material restrictions on the authority of such Funding Party to do any of the foregoing and provides Administrative Agent and Borrower written notice thereof, provided, however,
that to the extent an alternative rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection herewith, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, further, that to the extent such market
practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. 

4.04 Increased Costs Generally. 

(a) Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Funding Party; 
 (ii)
subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than: (A) Indemnified Taxes; (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes; and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 

(iii) result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, to represent the cost to any Funding Party of
complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans; or 

(iv) impose on any Funding Party or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes)
affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or made or funded by a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement; 
 and
the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Funding Party of making, converting, continuing, funding, or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make or fund any such Loan or to advance funds under a
Liquidity Agreement), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Funding Party (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Funding Party (but in no event later than ten (10) Business
Days after receipt of a certificate provided under subsection (c) of this Section), the applicable Borrower Party will pay to such Funding Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Funding Party
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, however, that if funds are not available to such Borrower Party in the Collateral Account, to the extent that it is necessary for Borrower to issue Capital Call
Notices to fund such required compensation, such payment shall be made within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of a certificate provided under subsection (c) of this Section. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Funding Party determines that any Change in Law affecting such Funding Party, any
Lending Office of such Funding Party or such Funding Party’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Funding Party’s capital or on the capital
of such Funding Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Funding Party or the Loans made by such Funding Party, or any obligation 

  
 55 








 
to advance funds under a Liquidity Agreement, to a level below that which such Funding Party or such Funding Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Funding Party’s policies and the policies of such Funding Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and such Funding Party’s desired return on capital), then from time to time the applicable
Borrower Party will pay to such Funding Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Funding Party or such Funding Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Funding Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Funding Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to a Borrower Party shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. In determining such amount, such Funding Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (d)
Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Funding Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Funding Party’s right to
demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower Party shall be required to compensate a Funding Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered
more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Funding Party notifies Borrower Parties of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Funding Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor
(except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof). 
 (e) Additional Reserve Requirements. Borrower Parties shall pay to each Funding Party: (i) as long
as such Funding Party shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Funding Party (as determined by such Funding Party in good faith, which determination shall
be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Funding Party shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance
of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual
costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Funding Party (as determined by such Funding Party in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on
such Loan, provided Borrower Parties shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Funding Party. If a Funding Party fails to give notice
ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice. 

4.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Funding Party (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, each applicable
Borrower Party shall promptly compensate such Funding Party, as applicable, for and hold such Funding Party harmless from any loss, cost or expense (but excluding loss of anticipated profits) as determined by the applicable Funding Agent actually
incurred by it as a result of: 

  
 56 








 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a
Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

(b) any failure by such Borrower Party (for a reason other than the failure of such Funding Party to make a Loan) to prepay,
borrow, continue or convert any Loan, in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, other than a Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan, on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower Party ((including, in the case of any
Conduit Lender, pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender (or the applicable Liquidity Provider(s)) (including funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or
obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) in order to fund such Borrowing, continuation or conversion); 
 (c) any
failure by any Borrower Party to make payment of any Loan (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or 

(d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or CP Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor
as a result of a request by such Borrower Party pursuant to Section 13.13; 
 including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or
expense (excluding any loss of anticipated profits) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance
of any foreign exchange contract. Each applicable Borrower Party shall also pay the customary administrative fees charged by such Lender or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, in connection with the foregoing. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower Party to any applicable Funding Party under this Section 4.05,
each applicable Funding Party shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other Borrowing in the offshore interbank market for a comparable amount and for a
comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded. In the case of a CP Rate Loan, the actual out-of-pocket loss to any Conduit Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by
such Conduit Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such CP Rate Loan from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current
Interest Period for such Loan, if the interest rate payable on such amount were calculated by reference to the CP Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the sum of (x) to the extent all or a portion of such principal amount
remains outstanding hereunder, the amount of interest actually accrued during the remainder of such Interest Period on such principal amount, and (y) to the extent such principal amount does not remain outstanding hereunder, the income, if any,
actually received during the remainder of such period by the Conduit Lender from investing such portion of such principal amount. 
 With
respect to any Lender that is not a bank, the foregoing calculation shall be made using the rates that would be applicable to the applicable Funding Agent as a proxy for such Lender. A certificate of a Funding Party setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Funding Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 4.05 and delivered to a Borrower Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 57 








 4.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Funding Party. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Funding Party requests compensation under
Section 4.04, or requires a Borrower Party to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Funding Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Funding Party pursuant to Section 4.01, or
if any Funding Party gives a notice pursuant to Section 4.02, then, at the request of Borrower, such Funding Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or
to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Funding Party, such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 4.02; and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Funding
Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Funding Party. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Funding Party in connection with any such designation or
assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Funding Party. If (i) any Funding Party requests compensation under
Section 4.04, (ii) any Borrower Party is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or any additional amounts to any Funding Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Funding Party pursuant to
Section 4.01 and in each case such Funding Party has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 4.06(a) or such designation does not eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 4.01 to the same extent, (iii) any Committed Lender is unwilling or unable to fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iv) any Committed Lender does not consent to an amendment or waiver under
Section 13.01 or (v) any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Borrower may, at its sole cost and effort, replace such Funding Party’s Lender Group in accordance with Section 13.13;
provided, however, that a Lender Group shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Funding Party or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 4.07 Survival. Each Borrower Party’s obligations under this
Section 4 shall survive termination of the aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder or resignation of the Administrative Agent. 

 

	5.	SECURITY. 

 5.01 Liens and Security Interest. To secure performance by the
Borrower Parties of the payment and performance of the Obligations: (a) Borrower shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, a perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) security
interest and lien in and to the Collateral Account pursuant to a Collateral Account Assignment and a Deposit Account Control Agreement for the Collateral Account; and (b) Borrower shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured
Parties, a perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) security interest and Lien in and to the Capital Calls, Capital Commitments, and Capital Contributions, including, without limitation (but subject to
Section 11.03), any rights to make Capital Calls, receive payment of Capital Commitments and enforce the payment thereof pursuant to a Security Agreement and to enforce the payment thereof or any guarantees thereof now existing or
hereafter arising (the collateral in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.01 being (except as otherwise set forth below), collectively, the “Collateral”). In order to
secure further the payment and performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate Secured Parties’ rights of setoff, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as subscription
agent and the sole party entitled in the name of Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default 

  
 58 








 
(but subject to Section 11.03), to make any Capital Calls upon the Investors pursuant to (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreements
and the Operating Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Collateral” shall not include (a) any
ERISA Investor Excluded Items if such provision of such ERISA Investor Excluded Item or the exercise of remedies with respect to such ERISA Investor Excluded Item would be a prohibited transaction for purposes of Section 406 of ERISA,
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable law, (b) the Capital Commitments or any assets, interests, rights or obligations of the SOX Insiders, if any, unless so elected by the Borrower Parties in their
discretion, (c) any Investment and (d) any funds properly withdrawn or transferred from the Collateral Account to the extent used for any purpose permitted under the Operating Agreement and this Credit Agreement, and the proceeds of such
withdrawn funds. 
 5.02 Collateral Account; Capital Calls. 

(a) Collateral Account. Borrower shall direct that all Investors wire-transfer to State Street Bank and Trust Company
(the “Depository”), for further credit to the Collateral Account, all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any Investor as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to the Capital Call
Notices. In addition, Borrower shall promptly, upon receipt, deposit in the Collateral Account any payments and monies that Borrower receives directly from the Investors as Capital Contributions. 

(b) No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that
neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to Capital Calls, and other than with respect to the mechanics for Administrative Agent, subject to
Section 11.03, to issue a Capital Call under the terms of the Operating Agreement, none of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of Borrower or take any other action with respect to any other matter which
might arise in connection with such Constituent Documents or the Subscription Agreements, or any Capital Call. None of them shall have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of
Borrower, or any Investor. None of them has any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Capital Call or with respect to the investment or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(c) Capital Calls. In order that Secured Parties may monitor the Collateral and the Capital Commitments, Borrower shall
not issue any Capital Call Notice without delivering to Administrative Agent (which delivery may be by any one or more means of physical delivery, via facsimile or via email) promptly after the delivery of Capital Call Notice(s) to Investors, copies
of all such Capital Call Notices and a Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 9.01(f). 
 (d) Use of
Account. Borrower may withdraw funds from the Collateral Account at any time or from time to time, so long as at the time of such withdrawal or disbursement and after giving effect thereto: (i) there does not exist an Event of Default;
(ii) there does not exist a Default under Sections 11.01(a), 11.01(g) or 11.01(h); and (iii) the Principal Obligation does not exceed the Available Commitment (unless, in each case, Borrower
has directed that such disbursement be paid to Administrative Agent). Upon the exercise of a notice of control in accordance with Sections 11.02 and 11.03, pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Account Control
Agreement, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Secured Parties, acting through Administrative Agent, to charge from time to time its Collateral Account for amounts not paid when due (after the passage of any applicable grace period)
to Secured Parties or any of them hereunder or under the Notes. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, none of 

  
 59 








 
Administrative Agent or Secured Parties shall ever be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part
of the Capital Call Notices, Capital Commitments, or any Capital Contributions, or sums due or paid thereon. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.02(d), but failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of Borrower with respect to such action. 

(e) Electronic Access to Collateral Account. In order to verify the deposits and withdrawals in each Collateral Account,
and in addition to any other information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent with respect to a Collateral Account (including monthly bank statements), Borrower shall cause the Depository to provide Administrative Agent with continuous
online monitoring access, effective as of the Closing Date. 
 (f) Other Accounts. Notwithstanding anything herein or
in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Borrower may maintain other bank accounts or securities accounts in addition to the Collateral Account that will not be considered “Collateral” or a “Collateral
Account” and such other accounts shall not be subject to control agreements or other restrictions, provided that, for avoidance of doubt, all Capital Contributions are directed and deposited as provided above. 

5.03 Confirmation of Liens. 

(a) Borrower hereby (i) confirms its intention that Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, be
entitled to the benefit of the security interests created pursuant to the Security Agreement executed by Borrower (the “Existing Security Agreement”), and (ii) grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, a security interest in the “Collateral” (as defined in such Security Agreement) to secure the Obligations, and such security interests shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Security Agreement, the
terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference thereto. 
 (b) Borrower hereby (i) confirms
its intention that Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, be entitled to the benefit of the security interests created pursuant to the Collateral Account Assignment executed by such Person (the “Existing Collateral
Account Assignment”), and (ii) grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the “Account” (as defined in such Collateral Account Assignment) to secure the
Obligations, and such security interests shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Collateral Account Assignment, the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference thereto.

irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees in favor of each Secured Party, the prompt payment when due of all interest, principal, fees, expenses and other amounts now or hereafter represented by, or arising in connection with all
Obligations of each Qualified Borrower now or hereafter arising (collectively, the “Guaranteed Debt”). The obligations of Borrower under this Section 6 are an unconditional guaranty of payment, and not a
guaranty of collection, and Administrative Agent may enforce Borrower’s obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 2.07 without first suing, or enforcing its rights or remedies against, any applicable Qualified Borrower or any
other obligor, or enforcing or collecting any present or future collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt. 

  
 60 








 6.02 Waiver of Rights. Borrower hereby waives notice of: (a) the extension of
credit by Lenders or Liquidity Providers to any Qualified Borrower; (b) the occurrence of any breach or default by any Qualified Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Debt; (c) the sale or foreclosure on any collateral for the Guaranteed
Debt; (d) the transfer of the Guaranteed Debt to any third party to the extent permitted under this Credit Agreement and to the extent that such notice is not required hereunder; and (e) all other notices, except as otherwise required
under this Credit Agreement. 
 6.03 No Discharge. For purposes of this Section 6, Borrower hereby consents and
agrees to, and acknowledges that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged by, the following: (a) the renewal, extension, modification or alteration of any Guaranteed Debt or any related document or instrument;
(b) any forbearance or compromise granted to any Qualified Borrower by any Secured Party; (c) the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of any Qualified Borrower; (d) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all
or any part of the Guaranteed Debt; (e) the full or partial release of any Qualified Borrower or any other obligor; (f) the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment of any collateral for the
Guaranteed Debt; (g) the failure of any Secured Party properly to obtain, perfect or preserve any security interest or lien in any such collateral; (h) the failure of any Secured Party to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness or
reasonable care in the preservation, enforcement or sale of any such collateral; and (i) any other act or omission of any Secured Party or any Qualified Borrower which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense in favor
of Borrower. 
 6.04 Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, until the Guaranteed
Debt (other than any part of the Guaranteed Debt that represents contingent contractual indemnities) has been paid in full, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law
subrogating Borrower to the rights of any Secured Party) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any Qualified Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable
for any obligations of any Qualified Borrower to Secured Parties, for any disbursement made by Borrower under or in connection with the obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Debt under this Section 6,
Section 2.07 or otherwise. 
 6.05 Benefit. For purposes of this Section 6, Borrower represents
and warrants that it has received or will receive direct or indirect benefit from the making of this guaranty and the creation of the Guaranteed Debt, that Borrower is familiar with the financial condition of each Qualified Borrower and the value of
any collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt, and that no Secured Party has made any representations or warranties to Borrower in order to induce Borrower to execute this guaranty. 

6.06 Reinstatement. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 6 shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by a Secured Party, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or dissolution of any Qualified Borrower, in
each case as though such payment had not been made. 
 6.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantees in this Section 6
are continuing guarantees, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Debt whenever arising.

Loans to be denominated in an Alternative Currency), and upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower, would make it impracticable for such Credit Extension to be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency. 

  
 63 








 Each Loan Notice (other than a Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to the other Type
of Loan, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) submitted by a Borrower Party shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 7.02(a) and 7.02(b) have been

induce Lenders to make the Loans hereunder, each Borrower Party, as applicable, represents and warrants to Lenders that: 
 8.01
Organization and Good Standing of Borrower. Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Borrower Party has the requisite power and authority to own its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or the property owned or leased requires such qualification except where the failure to be so
qualified to do business would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 8.02 Authorization and Power. Each
Borrower Party has the partnership, limited liability company or corporate power, as applicable, and requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform their respective obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated in, this
Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents to be executed by it. Each Borrower Party is duly authorized to, and has taken all partnership, limited liability company and corporate action, as applicable, necessary to authorize each of
them to execute, deliver, and perform their respective obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated in, this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and such other Loan Documents and are and will continue to be duly authorized to perform
their respective obligations under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and such other Loan Documents. 
 8.03 No Conflicts or Consents.
None of the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, or the other Loan Documents, the consummation of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, or the compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or with the terms
and provisions thereof, will contravene or conflict, in any material respect, with any provision of law, statute, or regulation to which any Borrower Party is subject, or any of the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party, or any judgment,
license, order, or permit applicable to any Borrower Party or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or instrument to which any Borrower Party is a party or by which any Borrower Party is bound, or to which any Borrower Party may
be subject, nor will such execution, delivery, consummation or compliance result in the creation or imposition of a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the properties or assets of any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or Governmental Authority or material consent of any third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery, or performance, by any Borrower Party of the Loan Documents or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 8.04 Enforceable Obligations. This Credit Agreement, the Notes and the
other Loan Documents to which it is a party are the legal and binding obligations of each Borrower Party, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws and equitable principles. 

  
 65 








 8.05 Priority of Liens. The Collateral Documents create, as security for the Obligations,
valid and enforceable, exclusive, first priority security interests in and Liens on all of the Collateral in which any Borrower Party has any right, title or interest, in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, subject to
no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens), except as enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and equitable principles. 
 8.06
Financial Condition. Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent (a) the most-recently available copies of the financial statements and reports described in Section 9.01, certified as true and correct by a
Responsible Officer of Borrower; or (b) with respect to such requirement on the Closing Date, if such statements and reports are not then available, such information about the financial position of Borrower, if any, as the Administrative Agent
shall have reasonably requested. Such financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, as of the applicable date of such financial statements, and have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as provided therein. 
 8.07 Full Disclosure. There is no material fact actually known to a
Responsible Officer of a Borrower Party that any Borrower Party has not disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing (other than information of a general industry or economic nature) which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No information heretofore furnished by any Borrower Party in connection with, or pursuant to, this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (taken as a whole) contains any untrue statement
of a material fact on the date as of which such information is stated or deemed stated that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

8.08 No Default. Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes
an Event of Default or a Default. 
 8.09 No Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations or legal, equitable, arbitration
or administrative proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending, or to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of any Borrower Party, threatened, against any Borrower Party that would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 8.10 Material Adverse Change. No changes to any Borrower Party have occurred since the date
of the most recent audited financial statements of such Borrower Party delivered to Lenders which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

8.11 Taxes. To the extent that failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all tax returns
required to be filed by any Borrower Party in any jurisdiction have been filed, subject to any applicable extensions without penalty, and all Taxes shown thereon have been paid prior to the time that such Taxes could give rise to a Lien thereon,
other than Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves have been established. There is no proposed Tax assessment against any Borrower Party (or any basis for such Tax assessment) which
would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 8.12 Jurisdiction Formation; Principal Office. The
jurisdiction of formation of Borrower is Delaware, and the principal office, chief executive office and principal place of business of Borrower is at 865 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, California 90017.

liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to, any Plan; (b) the underlying assets of each Borrower Party do not constitute Plan Assets; and (c) assuming that no portion 

  
 66 








 
of the assets used by any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents constitutes the assets of any “employee benefit plan” (within the
meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, none of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents constitutes a
“non-exempt prohibited transaction” under Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA that could subject Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any tax,
penalty, damages or any other claim or relief under the Code or ERISA. 
 8.14 Compliance with Law. Each Borrower Party is, to the
best of its knowledge, in compliance in all respect with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, and decrees which are applicable to such Borrower Party or its respective properties, except where non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. 
 8.15 Hazardous Substances. No Borrower Party: (a) has received any notice or other
communication or otherwise learned of any Environmental Liability which would individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect arising in connection with: (i) any non-compliance with or violation of
the requirements of any Environmental Law by a Borrower Party, or any permit issued under any Environmental Law to such Borrower Party; or (ii) the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material into the environment; and (b) to
the knowledge of a Responsible Officer, has threatened or actual liability in connection with the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material into the environment which would individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

terms of this Credit Agreement, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, no Investor is in material default under the Operating Agreement or its Subscription Agreement and Borrower has satisfied or will satisfy all
conditions to its rights to make a Capital Call, including any and all conditions contained in its Constituent Documents or the Subscription Agreements. Each Side Letter that has been executed by an Investor and Borrower has been provided to
Administrative Agent. 
 8.19 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of each Borrower Party is the calendar year, except as may be changed in

Borrower Party is engaged nor will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying

be margin stock. 

  
 67 








 8.22 No Defenses. Except as notified to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms
of this Credit Agreement, no Responsible Officer of Borrower knows of any default or circumstance which with the passage of time and/or giving of notice would constitute a default under the Operating Agreement or the Subscription Agreements which
would constitute a defense to the obligations of its Investors to make Capital Contributions to the Borrower in accordance with the Subscription Agreements or the Operating Agreement, and no Responsible Officer of Borrower has actual knowledge of
any claims of offset or any other claims of any Investor against Borrower which would or could materially and adversely affect the obligations of such Investor to make Capital Contributions and fund Capital Calls in accordance with the Subscription
Agreements (and any related Side Letters between the Investors and Borrower which have been provided to the Administrative Agent) or the Operating Agreement. 

8.23 Foreign Asset Control Laws. To the extent required by law, each Borrower Party has policies and procedures in place which are
reasonably designed to comply with all applicable United States anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, without limitation, applicable provisions of the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (“KYC Compliance”). Prior to the
Closing Date, each Investor has satisfied KYC Compliance. 
 8.24 OFAC. No Borrower Party, nor any of their respective Subsidiaries,
nor, to the knowledge of any such Borrower Party, any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative thereof, is an individual or entity currently the subject of any Sanctions and with which dealings are prohibited under such
Sanctions, nor is any Borrower Party or any Subsidiary located, organized or resident in a Designated Jurisdiction. Borrower shall ensure appropriate controls and safeguards are in place designed to prevent proceeds of any Loan from being used

under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower Party, as applicable, agrees that, unless Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent in writing based upon the approval of the Required Lenders (unless the approval of
Administrative Agent alone or a different number of Lenders is expressly permitted below): 
 9.01 Financial Statements, Reports and
Notices. The Borrower, for itself and the other Borrower Parties, shall deliver to Administrative Agent sufficient copies for each Lender of the following: 

(a) Annual Statements. As soon as reasonably available and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after
the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, audited, unqualified financial statements of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated statements of operations for such fiscal year

appropriate proceedings and appropriate reserves therefor have been established. 
 9.03 Maintenance of Existence and Rights. Each
Borrower Party will preserve and maintain its existence. Each Borrower Party shall further preserve and maintain all of its rights, privileges, and franchises necessary to the normal conduct of its business and in accordance with all valid

Borrower Party. All costs of any such inspection shall be paid by the inspecting party unless an Event of Default exists at the time of such inspection, subject to compliance with Section 13.18. 

9.08 Compliance with Law. Each Borrower Party will comply in all respects with all laws, rules, regulations, and all orders of any

 71 








 9.12 Further Assurances. Each Borrower Party will make, execute or endorse, and

9.13 Investor Financial and Rating Information. Each Borrower Party shall request, from each Investor, financial information required
under the Operating Agreement, as agreed from time to time with Administrative Agent, and shall, upon receipt of such information, promptly deliver same to Administrative Agent, or shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of its failure to timely
obtain such information. The Borrower Parties will promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days) after a Responsible Officer of such Borrower Party becoming aware of any Exclusion Event.

 9.14 Covenants of Qualified Borrowers. 

(a) The covenants and agreements of Qualified Borrowers hereunder shall be binding and effective with respect to a Qualified
Borrower upon and after the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by such Qualified Borrower. 
 (b) At any time and
from time to time, but only for so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, the Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent (each, a “Removal Notice”) that one (1) or more Qualified Borrowers are to be removed as a
Borrower Party hereunder. Such Removal Notice shall be given to the Administrative Agent at least the same number of Business Days required for an optional prepayment hereunder prior to the proposed removal date contained in the Removal Notice and
shall be accompanied by a Borrowing Base Certificate (completed and signed by a Responsible Officer). Upon the Borrower’s compliance with the foregoing and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a payment equal to all of such Qualified
Borrower’s Obligations hereunder, such Qualified Borrower shall be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any such release of a Qualified Borrower shall only
be effective as to Obligations thereof arising after the applicable removal date. 
 10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. So long as Lenders have any commitment
to lend hereunder, and until payment in full of the Notes and the Loans and all interest, fees, and other amounts then owing (other than in respect of contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made)
under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower Party, as applicable, agrees that, without the written consent of Administrative Agent, based upon the approval of Required Lenders (unless the approval of Administrative Agent
alone or a different number of Lenders is expressly permitted below): 
 10.01 Mergers; Dissolution. Borrower will not merge or
consolidate with or into any Person, unless Borrower is the surviving entity, no Qualified Borrower will merge or consolidate with or into any Person, unless Borrower, such Borrower Party, or another Borrower Party is the surviving entity. No


  
 72 








 
Borrower Party will take any action to dissolve or terminate such Borrower Party, including, without limitation, any action to sell or dispose of all or substantially all of the property of such
Borrower Party. 
 10.02 Negative Pledge. Without the approval of all Lenders, no Borrower Party will create or suffer to exist any
Lien upon the Collateral, other than a first priority security interest in and upon the Collateral to Secured Parties and the other Permitted Liens. For the avoidance of doubt, Investments are not part of the Collateral, and the Borrower Parties are
not restricted hereby from granting Liens thereon. 
 10.03 Fiscal Year and Accounting Method. Without prior written notice to
Administrative Agent, no Borrower Party will change its fiscal year or change in any material respect its method of accounting. No Borrower Party shall change is fiscal year or change in any material respect its method of account except in
accordance with the terms of its Operating Agreement. 
 10.04 Constituent Documents. Without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent consistent with this Section, no Borrower Party shall alter, amend, modify, terminate, or change any provision of its Constituent Documents affecting the Investors’ debts, duties, obligations, and liabilities,
and the rights, titles, security interests, liens, powers and privileges of such Borrower Party, Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, in each case relating to Capital Call Notices, Capital Commitments, Capital Contributions or Unfunded
Commitments; or amend the terms of Section 4 of the Operating Agreement, in each case in any way that materially and adversely affects the rights of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties (each a “Material
Amendment”). With respect to any proposed amendment, modification or change to any Constituent Document, the Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of such proposal. Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole reasonable
discretion (that is, the determination of the other Lenders shall not be required) on Administrative Agent’s good faith belief, whether such proposed amendment, modification or change to such Constituent Document is a Material Amendment, and
shall notify the Borrower of its determination within (a) for amendments, modifications or changes proposed prior to the Final Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Operating Agreement), two (2) Business Days, and (b) for
amendments, modifications or changes proposed after the Final Closing Date, five (5) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification pursuant to Section 13.07. If Administrative Agent
determines that the proposed amendment is a Material Amendment, the approval of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent will be required (unless the approval of all Lenders is required consistent with the terms of
Section 13.01), and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request for such approval, distributing, as appropriate, the proposed amendment and any other relevant information provided by any Borrower Party,
and the Required Lenders shall be required to respond to such requests within ten (10) Business Days of such notice. If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is not a Material Amendment, the applicable Borrower Party
may make such amendment without the consent of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of Administrative Agent or the Lenders, a Borrower Party may amend its Constituent Documents: (i) to admit new Investors to the
extent permitted by this Credit Agreement; (ii) to reflect transfers of interests permitted by this Credit Agreement; and (iii) to facilitate the formation, operation and qualification of such Borrower Party as a RIC. 

10.05 Transfer by, or Admission of, Investors. 

(a) Transfer of Membership Interest. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, acting alone, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, no Borrower Party shall permit the transfer of the Membership Interest of any Borrowing Base Investor. 

  
 73 








 (b) Designation of Transferee. A transferee that meets the Applicable
Requirement, as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and that has delivered its duly executed Subscription Agreement and Side Letter, if any, to Administrative Agent may be designated as an Included Investor without
further consent. Designation of any other transferee as a Borrowing Base Investor will require the consent as set forth in the definitions of Included Investor and Designated Investor, as applicable. 

(c) Admission of Investors. No Borrower Party shall admit any Person as an additional Investor unless such Borrower
Party, prior to the effective date of such transfer, confirms that such additional Investor does not appear on any list of “Specially Designated Nationals” or other list of known or suspected terrorists generated by OFAC with which
dealings are prohibited under Sanctions. 
 (d) Documentation Requirements. Each Borrower Party shall provide notice
to Administrative Agent of the transfer of the Membership Interest of (x) in the case of a Borrowing Base Investor, prior to the transfer of such Membership Interest, (y) in the case of a
non-Borrowing Base Investor with Capital Commitments of $3,000,000 or greater, promptly after the transfer of such Membership Interest and (z) in the case of a non-Borrowing Base Investor with Capital
Commitments of less than $3,000,000, concurrently with the delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) in the accompanying Compliance Certificate. Each Borrower Party shall require that,
except at such times as otherwise provided for herein, (i) any Person admitted as a substitute or new Investor (whether due to a transfer by an existing Investor or otherwise) (a “Subsequent Investor”) shall provide
Administrative Agent with a copy of such Investor’s duly executed Subscription Agreement and Side Letter, if any; and (ii) any existing Investor that is a transferee from another Investor shall provide the applicable transfer
documentation with respect to any increase in its Capital Commitment relating to such transfer. 
 (e) Funding
Requirements. Prior to the effectiveness of any transfer by a Borrowing Base Investor, the applicable Borrower Party shall calculate whether, taking into account the Capital Commitments of the Borrowing Base Investors as if such transfer had
occurred, the transfer would cause the Principal Obligation to exceed the Available Commitment, and shall make any Capital Calls required to pay any resulting mandatory prepayment under Section 3.04 prior to permitting such
transfer. 
 10.06 Capital Commitments. Other than rights under the Operating Agreement permitting an Investor from opting out of
particular Investments, Borrower shall not: (a) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), cancel, reduce, suspend or defer the Capital Commitment of any non-Borrowing Base
Investor; and (b) without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and all Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed): (i) cancel, reduce, suspend or defer the Capital Commitment of any Borrowing Base Investor; or
(ii) excuse any Investor from or permit any Investor to defer any Capital Contribution, if the proceeds from the related Capital Call Notice are to be applied to the Obligations hereunder. 

10.07 ERISA Compliance. (a) No Borrower Party nor any ERISA Affiliate shall establish, maintain, contribute to, or incur any
liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to, any Plan; (b) without the approval of all Lenders, no Borrower Party shall take any action that would cause its underlying assets to constitute Plan Assets; and (c) no Borrower Party, as
applicable, shall change its Annual Valuation Period without giving prior written notice to Administrative Agent. 
 10.08 Reserved.


  
 74 








 10.09 Limitations on Dividends and Distributions. 

(a) No Borrower Party shall declare or pay any dividends or distributions except as permitted under its Constituent Documents.

 (b) No Borrower Party shall declare or pay any dividends or distributions if: (i) any Event of Default exists;
or (ii) a Default under Sections 11.01(a), 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) exists; provided, however, that each Borrower Party shall have the right to pay dividends or distributions in amounts
that are determined in good faith by the Borrower Party to be required to maintain the status of the Borrower Party as a RIC or to reduce or eliminate liability for income or excise taxes. 

10.10 Limitation on Debt. Borrower shall not incur any Indebtedness (including the Obligations) in excess of the limitations on
Indebtedness set forth in Section 4.3 of the Operating Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date (or as amended in accordance with Section 10.04). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower or its Subsidiaries will be
permitted to incur debt secured by its Investments or other asset (other than the Collateral). 
 10.11 Sanctions. No Borrower Party
shall, to the knowledge of its Responsible Officers, permit the proceeds of any Loan: (a) to be lent, contributed or otherwise made available to fund any activity or business in any Designated Jurisdiction; (b) to fund any activity or
business of any Sanctioned Person or any Person located, organized, formed, incorporated or residing in any Designated Jurisdiction or who is the subject of any Sanctions; or (c) in any other manner that will result in any material violation by
any Person (including any Lender or Administrative Agent) of any Sanctions. 
 10.12 Spin-Off. No Spin-Off shall be effective until
all prepayment obligations resulting from a Mandatory Prepayment Event are satisfied in full. 
 11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. 

11.01 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall exist if any one or more of the following events (herein
collectively called “Events of Default”) shall occur and be continuing: 
 (a) any Borrower Party
shall fail to pay when due and in the currency required hereunder: (i) any principal of the Obligations; or (ii) any interest on the Obligations or any fee, expense, or other payment required hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, and such failure under this clause (ii) shall continue for five (5) days thereafter; 
 (b)
any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Borrower Party under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed by any of them, or in any certificate or statement furnished or made to Lenders or any of them by a
Borrower Party pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or with the Loans, shall prove to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect as of the date on which such representation or warranty is made or deemed made (except that any representation
or warranty which by its terms is made as of an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date) and the adverse effect of the failure of such representation or warranty shall not have been cured within thirty
(30) days after the earlier of (i) written notice thereof if delivered to the Borrowers by Administrative Agent or (ii) a Responsible Officer of the Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof; 

  
 75 








 (c) default shall occur in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements
contained herein (other than the covenants contained in Sections 3.04, 5.02(a), 5.02(c), 5.02(d) or Section 10 (except for Section 10.03, 10.05(b) and
10.05(d) (other than clause (x) of Section 10.05(d)))), or of the covenants or agreements of a Borrower Party contained in any other Loan Documents executed by such Person, and such default shall
continue uncured to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given by Administrative Agent to such Borrower Party (provided that such thirty (30)-day cure period
shall not apply respecting covenants of Borrower Parties relating to statements, certificates and notices to be given by a Borrower Party, but a fifteen (15)-day grace period (or, in the case of Section 10.05(d) (other than
clause (x) thereof), a five (5)-day grace period) shall apply; 
 (d) default shall occur in the
performance of the covenants and agreements of any Borrower Party contained in Sections 3.04, 5.02(a), 5.02(c), 5.02(d) or Section 10 (other than
Section 10.03, 10.05(b) and 10.05(d) (other than clause (x) of Section 10.05(d))); 

(e) other than (i) in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, or (ii) as a result of any action or
inaction by Administrative Agent or other Secured Party, any of the Loan Documents executed by a Borrower Party shall cease, in whole or in material part, to be legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable (subject to Debtor Relief Laws and
equitable principles) against such Borrower Party in accordance with the terms thereof or shall in any way be terminated or become or be declared ineffective or inoperative or shall in any way whatsoever cease to give or provide the respective
liens, security interest, rights, titles, interest, remedies, powers, or privileges intended to be created thereby, except any release or termination pursuant to the terms of such Loan Document; 

(f) default shall occur in the payment of any recourse Indebtedness of any Borrower Party (other than the Obligations), in an
aggregate amount greater than or equal to $25,000,000, and such default shall continue after receipt of any applicable notice for more than the applicable period of grace, if any;

(h) the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relating to any Borrower Party or all or any material part
of its respective property is instituted without the consent of such Person and continues undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or an order for relief, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction or other competent authority approving a petition seeking reorganization or liquidation of any Borrower Party or appointing a receiver, custodian, trustee, intervenor, liquidator, administrator or similar entity of such Person, or of
all or substantially all of its assets; 
 (i) any final judgments or orders for the payment of money against any
Borrower Party in an aggregate amount (as to all such judgments or orders) exceeding $25,000,000 (to the 

  
 76 








 
extent not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which the insurer does not dispute coverage) and: (A) enforcement proceedings are commenced by any creditor upon such
judgment or order, or (B) there is a period of ten (10) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect; 

(j) a Change of Control shall occur; 

(k) at any time (such time being referred to as a “determination time”) three (3) or more non-affiliated
Borrowing Base Investors having Capital Commitments aggregating fifteen percent (15%) or greater of the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Investors shall default and continue to be in default at such determination time on their respective
obligation to fund any Capital Call within fifteen (15) Business Days’ written notice of such Capital Call; or 

(l) the Borrowing Base Deficit is greater than zero (0) and is not eliminated within ten (10) Business Days. 

11.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Administrative Agent may, and,
upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall: (a) suspend the Commitments of Lenders until such Event of Default is cured; (b) terminate the Commitment of Lenders; (c) reduce the Available Commitments to an amount equal to
the aggregate Loans of the Borrower Parties; (d) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Obligations, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to
be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind all of which each
Borrower Party hereby expressly waives, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (e) exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth in Section 5.02, including, but not
limited to, the initiation of Capital Call Notices of the Capital Commitments; or (f) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Administrative Agent’s or any or all of the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies
under the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable law or agreement; provided, however, that if any Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or
Section 11.01(h) shall occur, the obligation of each Committed Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall
automatically become due and payable, without any further action by Administrative Agent or Lenders, or any of them, and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice
of any kind, all of which each Borrower Party hereby expressly waives. 
 11.03 Curing an Event of Default by Investor Capital Call.

 (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, none
of Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party may issue funding notices to any Investor or exercise any other remedy to which it may be otherwise entitled under this Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in
equity with respect to such Event of Default unless Administrative Agent shall have given the Borrower Parties three (3) Business Days written notice of its intention to exercise such remedies (provided that, no such notice is
required to the extent the Event of Default arises from the failure of Borrower Parties to make a Capital Call or make a payment following a Capital Call), in each case, required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. If, at any time prior to
or during such three (3) Business Day notice period, the Borrower Parties shall make a Capital Call on the Unfunded Commitments of the Investors sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Account) to cure each
such Event of Default or repay the 

  
 77 








 
outstanding Obligations in full, as applicable, then Administrative Agent, the Lenders and other Secured Parties may not exercise any such remedy until the expiration of the period ending
fifteen (15) Business Days from the end of the initial three (3) Business Day notice period, provided that nothing in this Section 11.03(a) shall prohibit Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party
asserting exclusive control of the Collateral Account or taking any such actions as may be required to protect their rights in a bankruptcy proceeding; provided, further, that to the extent that (A) the Borrower does not make such
Capital Call or (B) the application of the proceeds of any such Capital Call are not sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Account) to cure such Event of Default or repay the outstanding Obligations in
full, as applicable, then, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with the terms hereof, issue a Capital Call in an amount sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the
Collateral Account) to cure such Event of Default or repay the outstanding Obligations in full, as applicable. 
 (b) In the
event that Administrative Agent elects to notify the Investors to make Capital Contributions in respect of their Unfunded Commitments, then Administrative Agent shall not request any individual Investor to fund an amount exceeding such
Investor’s pro-rata share of the Obligations (based on the proportion of such Investor’s Unfunded Commitment to the aggregate Unfunded Commitments of all Investors other than Defaulting Investors) without first making best efforts
(consistent with the terms of the Constituent Documents and applicable Law) to issue a Capital Call (which may be issued by Borrower or Administrative Agent) to each Investor for its pro-rata share of the Obligations and waiting fifteen (15)
calendar days following such Capital Call prior to initiating further remedies. Further, without the prior written consent of Borrower, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may contact any Investor, other than during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder, to submit a Capital Call Notice or otherwise exercise remedies in connection therewith. 

(c) None of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party shall be entitled to take any action against any
Investor that is an ERISA Investor or a Plan (other than (i) issuing funding notices in the name of any Borrower Party or (ii) applying funds paid by such ERISA Investor or Plan into the Collateral Account (which shall remain in the name
of Borrower) to the payment of the Obligations), under the Operating Agreement or Subscription Agreement, as applicable to the extent it has knowledge that a “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code) would arise therefrom. 
 11.04 Performance by Administrative Agent. Should
any Borrower Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, Administrative Agent may (subject to
Section 10.03), but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person. In such event, each Borrower Party shall, at the request of Administrative Agent promptly pay
any reasonable amount expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure
until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither any of the Agents nor any of the other Secured Parties assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of any Borrower Party, or any related
Person hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Borrower Party, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall any of the Agents or other Secured Parties be deemed to create a
partnership arrangement with any Borrower Party or any related Person. 

  
 78 








 11.05 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in
Section 11.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, be applied by
Administrative Agent in the following order: (a) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and
amounts payable under Section 4) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; (b) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts payable to the Lenders (including
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and amounts payable under Section 4), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;
(c) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) payable to
them; (d) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) held by them; and (e) the
balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. 
 12. AGENTS. 

12.01 Appointment and Authority. Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee
with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) hereby irrevocably appoints each Agent (other than a Funding Agent for a different Lender Group) to act on its behalf hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent (other than a Funding Agent for a different Lender Group) to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except for provisions of this Section 12 expressly granting rights to the Borrower Parties, the provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the
benefit of Agents and the Lenders, and no Borrower Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any
other similar term) with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market
custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 12.02 Rights as a
Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity as a
Lender. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower Party or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

12.03 Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and
its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent: 

  
 79 








 (i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose any Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or
termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (iii) shall, except as expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 (b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.02 and
13.01 as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary); or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable
judgment, no Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders)
unless and until notice describing the same is given in writing to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender. 
 (c) No Agent shall
be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Section 7 or elsewhere herein, other than, in the case of Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to it. 

(d) Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility for, nor shall Administrative Agent have any liability
with respect to the administration submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of LIBOR Rate or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto. 

12.04 Reliance by Agent or Lender. Each Agent and Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying
upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise 

  
 80 








 
authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

12.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 
 12.06
Resignation of Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrower Parties. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the
Resignation Effective Date. 
 (b) If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person and remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of
Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the
“Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable): (i) the retiring
or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed); and 

  
 81 








 
(ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to
or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in
Section 4.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable
by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 13.06 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

12.07 Non-Reliance on Agents and Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or
any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

12.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers or other agents listed on the cover
page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or a Lender hereunder. 

12.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed
or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and otherwise hereunder)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same. 

  
 82 








 any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent hereunder. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

 12.10 Collateral Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.09, Secured Parties irrevocably
authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations); (b) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any
other Loan Document; or (c) subject to Section 13.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Secured Parties will confirm in writing
Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 12.10. 

13. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 13.01
Amendments. Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, other than in accordance with its terms, unless such amendment, waiver,
discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by Required Lenders (and Administrative Agent) or Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of Required Lenders), on the one hand, and Borrower on the other hand; provided that, if this
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically provides that the terms thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated with the approval of Administrative Agent, acting alone, or all Lenders, then such amendment, waiver, discharge

consent of Administrative Agent and:

limitation, pursuant to a revision to the definition of Applicable Margin), or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall

Notwithstanding the above: (A) no provisions of Section 12 may be amended or modified without the consent of
Administrative Agent; and (B) Sections 9 and 10 specify the requirements for waivers of the affirmative covenants and negative covenants listed therein, and any amendment to any provision of
Section 9 or 10 shall require the consent of the Lenders that are specified therein as required for a waiver thereof. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that
(x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by
its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each
Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent
provisions set forth herein; and (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Administrative Agent may, after consultation with Borrower, agree to
the modification of any term of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to correct any printing, stenographic or clerical errors or omissions that are inconsistent with the terms hereof. 

Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly notify the Funding Agents (who will in turn promptly notify the Lenders in its Lender Group)
of any proposed modification or amendment to any Loan Document, and deliver drafts of such proposed modification or amendment to the Funding Agents (who will in turn promptly deliver to the Lenders in its Lender Group), prior to the effectiveness of
such proposed modification or amendment. If Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and such Lender shall
respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days. 

  
 86 








 13.02 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time (but subject to Section 11.03), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower Party against any and all of the
Obligations of such Borrower Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document owing to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent, such Lender or Affiliate
shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations of such Borrower Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the
branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff: (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over
immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust
for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Committed Lenders; and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to
which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their
respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the applicable Borrower Party and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application made by such Person, provided, however, that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 13.03 Sharing of Payments by Lender Group. If any Lender
Group shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender Group receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its Applicable Percentage thereof, then the Funding Agent of such Lender Group receiving such greater proportion shall: 

(a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and 

(b) cause the Committed Lenders in such Funding Agent’s Lender Group to purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Loans of the other Lender Groups, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lender Groups ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations or
subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to: (x) any payment made by or
on behalf of any Borrower Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender); or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 

  
 87 








 Each Borrower Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Committed Lender or any Lender Group acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Committed Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower Party in the amount of such participation. 
 13.04 Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any Borrower Party makes a payment to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. 

13.05 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any
such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at Law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.02 for the benefit of all Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
prohibit: (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (b) any Lender from
exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.02 (subject to the terms of Section 11.03 and Section 13.03); or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing
pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents; then: (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.02; and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in
clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 13.03, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders. 
 13.06 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay: (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses actually
incurred by Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication 

  
 88 








 
of the credit facility provided herein, and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including all Attorney Costs reasonably and actually incurred in connection with the foregoing;
(ii) all fees and expenses not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate charged by the Rating Agencies in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, fees and expenses incurred in connection with seeking an
explicit rating of the Loans, regardless of whether or not such explicit rating is able to be issued; and (iii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by Agents and any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights
(A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section; or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred during any “workout”, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans, including all Attorney Costs actually incurred in connection with the
foregoing. 
 (b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Related Party thereof, and
each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys in fact (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including Borrower or any other
Borrower Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of: (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of Administrative Agent (and any
sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom; or (iii) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower or any other Borrower Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses: (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; or (B) result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other Borrower Party against an Indemnitee for breach of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such Borrower Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; or
(C) result from any settlement by any Indemnitee of any claim or threatened claim that is otherwise subject to indemnification under this Section unless Borrower has consented in writing to such settlement, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (D) to the extent resulting from any dispute among Indemnitees (or their Related Parties); provided that the Administrative Agent to the extent fulfilling its role as an
agent under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in its capacity as such, shall remain indemnified. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.06(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that
represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Committed Lenders. To
the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 13.06 to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any
sub-agent thereof), or any Related 

  
 89 








 
Party of any of the foregoing, each Committed Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Committed
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Committed Lenders under this subsection (c) are several. 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall
assert, and hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such
Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10)
Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that if funds are not available in the Collateral Account, to the extent that it is necessary for Borrower to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment, such
payment shall be made within twenty (20) Business Days after demand. 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this
Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 13.07 shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent; the replacement of any Lender; the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of the Obligations. 
 13.07 Notice. 

(a) Generally. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire
to give hereunder shall be in writing (except where telephonic instructions or notices are expressly authorized herein to be given) and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by
telecopier as follows, except where electronic delivery is authorized and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows: 

(i) If to any Borrower Party, Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent or Lender, at its notice address and numbers set forth
on Schedule 13.07 attached hereto. If to any Lender (other than directly from Administrative Agent), in case of Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy thereof to such Lender), at its notice address and numbers
set forth on Schedule 13.07 attached hereto. Each Lender agrees to provide 

  
 90 








 
to Administrative Agent a written notice stating such Lender’s address, fax number, telephone number, email address and the name of a contact person, and Administrative Agent may, unless
otherwise provided herein, rely on such written notice for purposes of delivering any notice, demand, request or other communication under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender unless and until a Lender provides
Administrative Agent with a written notice designating a different address, fax number, telephone number, email address or contact person. 

(ii) Any party may change its address for purposes of this Credit Agreement by giving notice of such change to the other
parties pursuant to this Section 13.07. With respect to any notice received by Administrative Agent from any Borrower Party or any Investor not otherwise addressed herein, Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly of the
receipt of such notice, and shall provide copies thereof to Lenders. When determining the prior days’ notice required for any Loan Notice or other notice to be provided by a Borrower Party or an Investor hereunder, the day the notice is
delivered to Administrative Agent (or such other applicable Person) shall not be counted, but the day of the related Credit Extension or other relevant action shall be counted. 

(b) Effectiveness of Delivery. Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered
mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by fax shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of
business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices sent via telephone, shall be deemed to have been given on the day and at the time reciprocal communication (i.e., direct communication between two or more persons, which shall not
include voice mail messages) with one of the individuals designated to receive notice occurs during a call to the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party. Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in
subsection (c) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (c). 

(c) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to Lenders hereunder (including financial statements and
notices under Section 9.01) may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication.
Administrative Agent or Borrower may, each in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may
be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 (d) Effectiveness of E-mail Notice. Unless Administrative Agent
otherwise prescribes: (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt
requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at
its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that for both
clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the
opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient. 

  
 91 








 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic or electronic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if: (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein; or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic
communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

 13.10 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Credit Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Credit Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
had never comprised a part of this Credit Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from
this Credit Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Credit Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein. If any provision of this Credit Agreement shall
conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Credit Agreement shall prevail. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 13.10, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Credit Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent,
then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 
 13.11 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender
and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (i) of this
Section 13.11 and Section 13.12; (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (f) of this Section 13.11; or (iii) by way of pledge
or assignment or grant of a security interest subject to 

  
 93 








 
the restrictions of clause (g) of this Section 13.11 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
clause (f) of this Section 13.11, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement. 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an
“Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be
subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Committed Lender’s Commitment and/or the
Loans at the time owing to it, contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in clause 13.11(b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate, or, in the case of an
assignment to a Committed Lender, an Affiliate of a Committed Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in subclause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitments are not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with
respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of Administrative Agent and,
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower, otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Assignee (or to an Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met. 

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except as provided in the definition of
“Eligible Assignee.” For the avoidance of doubt, no consent shall be required for any assignment from a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee or a Liquidity Provider. 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Other than an assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee or a
Liquidity Provider, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and 

  
 94 








 
Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (except in the case of a transfer at the demand of Borrower under Section 13.13, in
which case either Borrower or the transferee Lender shall pay such fee); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.
The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire. 
 (v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made: (A) to a Borrower Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower Party; (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon
becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); (C) to a natural person; (D) to any Person that is not a Qualified Purchaser; or (E) to any Person that is not
an Eligible Assignee. 
 (vi) Borrower Requested Assignments. Each assignment made as a result of a demand by Borrower
under Section 13.13 shall be arranged by Borrower after consultation with Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Credit Agreement or an
assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another assignment or assignments that together constitute an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender. 

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to such assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount
sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative
Agent, the applicable share of Loans previously requested but not funded by such Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to: (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its applicable share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the
assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

(c) Lender Group Joinder Agreement. Upon the Borrower’s request, with the consent of the Administrative Agent,
which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, an additional Lender Group may be added to this Credit Agreement at any time by the execution and delivery of a Lender Group Joinder Agreement by the members of such proposed additional Lender Group,
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the Lenders, which execution and delivery shall not be unreasonably refused by such parties. Upon receipt of (i) an executed Lender Group Joinder Agreement and (ii) a completed
administrative questionnaire with respect to each member of such additional Lender Group, (A) each Person specified therein as a “Conduit Lender” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Lender, entitled to the rights and subject to
the obligations of a Conduit Lender hereunder, (B) each Person specified therein as a 

  
 95 








 
“Committed Lender” shall become a party hereto as a Committed Lender, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder, (C) each Person
specified therein as a “Funding Agent” shall become a party hereto as a Funding Agent, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Funding Agent hereunder, (D) the Administrative Agent shall accept such Lender Group
Joinder Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register, (E) subject to Section 2.14(a), the Maximum Commitment shall be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate Commitments of the Committed
Lenders party to such Lender Group Joinder Agreement and (F) Schedule 1.01A shall be deemed to be amended and supplemented to reflect such joinder. The Administrative Agent shall give each Funding Agent prompt notice of the
addition of any Lender Group. 
 (d) Effect of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by
Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 13.11, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 4.01, 4.04, 4.05 and
13.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, each applicable Borrower Party (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the
Funding Agent of the Assignee, if applicable, and the applicable existing Note or Notes shall be returned to the Borrower, as applicable. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (f) of this Section.

 (e) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower Parties
(such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Lender Group Joinder Agreement delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form)
and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Funding Agents, Lenders, and the Commitments of the Committed Lenders of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower Party, Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Funding Agent or Lender hereunder, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. In addition, Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and
revocation of designation of any Committed Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Parties, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement and for avoidance of doubt, each Lender Group
with more than one Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, assign to another Conduit Lender in its Lender Group all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding Obligations and rights to payment


  
 96 








 
of Principal Obligations and interest), as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time. Each such assignment shall be recorded on the books and records of the Administrative Agent
and the relevant Conduit Lenders, without the need to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. For all purposes of this Credit Agreement and all related documents, with respect to each assignment under this
paragraph the relevant Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have the benefit of, and be subject to the obligations imposed by, an executed, delivered, accepted and recorded Assignment and Acceptance Assignment relating to such
assignment. 
 (f) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower
Party, Funding Agent or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person that is a Qualified Purchaser (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, a Competitor or a Borrower Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that any Committed
Lender may sell a participation in its rights and obligations hereunder only with the written consent of the Conduit Lender(s)in its Lender Group, and provided, further that: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) each Borrower Party, each Agent and the other Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under
Section 13.06(c) without regard to the existence of any participation. 
 Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the second proviso of Section 13.01
that directly affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.04, and 4.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.11 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who
sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant: (A) agrees to be
subject to the provisions of Sections 4.01, 4.06, 13.11 and 13.18 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01 or 4.05 with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to
the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to
use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 13.02 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.03 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan 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 

  
 97 








 
commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan, letter of credit 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 Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in
its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (g) Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment or grant of a security interest to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, central bank or a collateral trustee or security agent for holders of commercial paper without notice to, or consent from, any Borrower Party or the
Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party
hereto. 
 (h) Certain Conduit Lender Provisions. Without limiting the foregoing, a Conduit Lender may, from time to
time, with prior or concurrent notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation and its rights and obligations under this Credit
Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee. Upon and to the extent of such assignment by the Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall become a Conduit Lender in the assigning
Conduit Lender’s Lender Group, with the Committed Lender and the Funding Agent in such Lender Group being the Committed Lender and Funding Agent, respectively, for such Conduit Assignee, (ii) such Conduit Assignee (as Conduit Lender) shall
be the owner of the assigned portion of the Principal Obligation, (iii) the related administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Administrator for such Conduit Assignee, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied,
granted to an Administrator hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iv) such Conduit Assignee, any Related Commercial Paper Issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper, and their respective Liquidity
Provider(s) and other Related Parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the Conduit Lender and its Liquidity Provider(s) herein and in the other Loan Documents (including any limitation on recourse
against such Conduit Assignee or Related Parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against such Conduit Assignee, and the right to assign to another Conduit Assignee as provided in
this paragraph), (v) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of the Conduit Lender’s obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Loan Document, and the Conduit Lender shall be released from
such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (vi) all distributions in respect of the Principal Obligation assigned shall be
made to the applicable Funding Agent, on behalf of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vii) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the
Principal Obligation funded with Commercial Paper issued by the Conduit Lender from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Rate” applicable to the Conduit Lender on the basis of the interest rate
or discount applicable to Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Assignee rather than the original Conduit Lender, (viii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
interpreted in accordance with the 

  
 98 








 
foregoing, and (ix) if requested by the Funding Agent or Administrator with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and
take such other actions as such Funding Agent or Administrator may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No such assignment shall be made to a Conduit Assignee unless the Commercial Paper of such Conduit Assignee shall
have short-term credit ratings of “A-1” and “P-1” without the consent of Borrower. No assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation shall in any way
diminish the obligation of the Committed Lenders in such Conduit Lender’s Lender Group under Section 2.02 to fund any Loan not funded by the Conduit Lender or such Conduit Assignee or to acquire from the Conduit Lender or
such Conduit Assignee all or any portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation pursuant this Section 13.11(b)(i). 

(i) Certain Committed Lender Provisions. In the event that a Conduit Lender makes an assignment to a Conduit Assignee in
accordance with clause (h) above, the Committed Lenders in such Conduit Lender’s Lender Group: (i) if requested by the related Administrator, shall terminate their participation in the applicable Liquidity Agreement
to the extent of such assignment and shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by such Administrator) the liquidity agreement related to such Conduit Assignee, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of
which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement entered into by such Committed Lender with respect to the applicable Liquidity Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the related
Administrator), (ii) if requested by such Conduit Lender, shall enter into such agreements as requested by such Conduit Lender pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to such Conduit Assignee on the same terms and
conditions as is provided for in this Credit Agreement in respect of such Conduit Lender (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and such Conduit Lender), and (iii) shall take such actions as the related
Administrator shall reasonably request in connection therewith. 
 13.12 Assignment to Committed Lenders. 

(a) Assignment Amounts. At any time on or prior to the Stated Maturity Date, if the Administrator on behalf of the
applicable Conduit Lender so elects, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent, such Conduit Lender hereby assigns effective on the Assignment Date referred to below all or such portions
as may be elected by such Conduit Lender of its interest in the Principal Obligation at such time to its Committed Lenders pursuant to this Section 13.12; provided, however, that unless such assignment is an
assignment of all such Conduit Lender’s interest in the Principal Obligation in whole on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date, no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 13.12 if an Event of
Default shall then exist; and provided, further, that no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 13.12 at a time when such Conduit Lender is subject to any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Laws.
No further documentation or action on the part of such Conduit Lender, the Borrower, or the applicable Committed Lenders shall be required to exercise the rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, other than the giving of the notice by
the related Administrator on behalf of such Conduit Lender referred to in such sentence and the delivery by such Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent of a copy of such notice to each Committed Lender in the Lender Group (the date of the receipt by
the Administrative Agent of any such notice being the “Assignment Date”). Each Committed Lender hereby agrees, unconditionally and irrevocably and under all circumstances, without set-off, counterclaim or defense of any kind,
to pay the full amount of its Assignment Amount on such Assignment Date to such Conduit Lender in immediately available funds in Dollars based on the assigning Conduit Lender’s interest in the Principal Obligation, to an account designated by
such 

  
 99 








 
Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent. Upon payment of its Assignment Amount, each such Committed Lender shall acquire an interest in the Principal Obligation equal to its Committed Lender
Percentage thereof. Upon any assignment in whole by a Conduit Lender to its Committed Lenders on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date as contemplated hereunder, such Conduit Lender shall cease to make any additional Loans hereunder. At
all times prior to its Conduit Investment Termination Date, nothing herein shall prevent a Conduit Lender from making a subsequent Loan hereunder, in its sole discretion, following any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.12 or
from making more than one assignment pursuant to this Section 13.12. 
 (b) Additional Assignment
Amounts. The applicable Borrower Party may pay to Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent for the benefit of such Conduit Lender, in connection with any assignment by such Conduit Lender to
its Committed Lenders pursuant to this Section 13.12, an aggregate amount equal to all interest to accrue through the end of the current Interest Period to the extent attributable to the portion of the Loans so assigned to the
Committed Lenders (as determined immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment), plus all Obligations then due, other than the Loans and other than any interest described above, attributable to such portion of the Loans so assigned. If the
applicable Borrower Party does not make payment of such amounts at or prior to the time of assignment by a Conduit Lender to its Committed Lenders, such amount shall be paid by such Committed Lenders to the Conduit Lender as additional consideration
for the interests assigned to the Committed Lenders and, except to the extent the applicable Borrower Party makes payment of such amounts to the Committed Lender when due, the amount of the “Loans” hereunder held by such Committed Lenders
shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional amount so paid by such Committed Lenders. 
 (c) Administration of
Agreement after Assignment from Conduit Lender to Committed Lenders following the Conduit Investment Termination Date. After any assignment in whole by a Conduit Lender to its Committed Lenders pursuant to this Section 13.12
at any time on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date (and the payment of all amounts owing to such Conduit Lender in connection therewith), all rights of the related Administrator set forth herein shall be given to the applicable Funding
Agent on behalf of its Committed Lenders instead of such Administrator. 
 (d) Payments to Administrative Agent. After
any assignment in whole by a Conduit Lender to its Committed Lenders pursuant to this Section 13.12 at any time on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date, all payments to be made hereunder by a Borrower Party to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Conduit Lender shall be made to the account specified by the applicable Funding Agent in writing to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower Party. 

(e) Recovery of Loans. In the event that the aggregate of the Assignment Amounts paid by the Committed Lenders with
respect to any Lender Group pursuant to this Section 13.12 on any Assignment Date occurring on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date for the related Conduit Lender is less than the Loans of such Conduit Lender on such
Assignment Date, then to the extent that payments or deposits thereafter received and applied by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Lender Group under Section 3.03 in respect of Loans exceed the aggregate of the
unrecovered Assignment Amounts and Loans funded by such Committed Lenders, such excess shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to such Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent for the benefit of such Conduit Lender. 

  
 100 








 13.13 Replacement of Funding Party or Lender Group. If any Borrower Party is entitled to
replace a Funding Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.06 (in any such case, an “Affected Funding Party”), then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort: 

(a) by notice to the applicable Funding Party, and with the consent of the Administrative Agent and such Funding Party’s
Funding Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elect to replace such Affected Funding Party as a Funding Party to this Credit Agreement with an Eligible Assignee procured by Borrower, provided that no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided, further that, concurrently with such replacement such Eligible Assignee shall agree to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the
Affected Funding Party pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to become a Funding Party for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Funding Party to be terminated as of such date. Any
such Affected Funding Party shall assign its rights and interests hereunder (other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.04), such assignment to be effected in compliance with the
requirements of Section 13.11. In the event that such an assignment occurs, the Eligible Assignee: (i) if requested by the applicable Funding Agent, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as
determined by the Funding Agent) a Liquidity Agreement related to the applicable Conduit Lender, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement by the assigning
Committed Lender with respect to the applicable Liquidity Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Funding Agent); and (ii) shall take such actions as the Agents shall reasonably request in connection
therewith. A Funding Party shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Funding Party or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply; and 
 (b) by notice to each member of the applicable Funding Party’s Lender Group, and with the consent
of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elect to replace the Affected Funding Party’s Lender Group with a Lender Group procured by Borrower, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided, further that, concurrently with such replacement the Lenders in such replacement Lender Group shall agree to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations
due to each Lender in the Affected Funding Party’s Lender Group pursuant to one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements and to become a Funding Party for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of each Lender
in the Affected Funding Party’s Lender Group to be terminated as of such date. Each Lender in the Affected Funding Party’s Lender Group shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the
requirements of Section 13.11. 
 13.14 Maximum Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan
Documents, Funding Party shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that Funding Party ever receive, collect or apply as interest any such excess,
the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the
applicable Borrower Party. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, each Borrower Party and Funding Party shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable
law: (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the
total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the 

  
 101 








 
Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term
thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, each applicable Funding Party shall refund to the applicable Borrower Party the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess
against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Funding Parties shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. As
used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then
the Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. 
 13.15 Headings. Section headings are for
convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement. 
 13.16 Survival of
Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and
delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, or any
Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 
 13.17 Limited Liability of
Investors. None of the Investors, shall have any personal, partnership, corporate or trust liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section 13.17 or in any of the other provisions
of the Loan Documents shall be construed to limit, restrict, or impede the obligations, the liabilities, and indebtedness of any Borrower Party, or of any Investor to make its Capital Contributions to Borrower in accordance with the terms of the
Operating Agreement and its Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 13.17, the payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrower Parties and their respective
properties and assets. 
 13.18 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisors and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors in each case on a reasonable need-to-know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to
keep such Information confidential and that the Administrative Agent, Funding Agent, or Lender disclosing such information shall be liable for any disclosure in violation hereof by any of its own partners, directors, officers, employees,
representatives, advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory organization claiming to have jurisdiction), any
governmental or administrative agency or any bank examiner having jurisdiction over such Person; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this
Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section to which the Borrower Parties are intended third party beneficiaries entitled to enforce such agreement,
to: (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible 

  
 102 








 
Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement; or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such
contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower Parties; (g) with the consent of the applicable Borrower Party; (h) to
the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section; (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower Party; or (z) was independently developed by any Agent or any Lender from information obtained from a source other than a Borrower Party and in
compliance with this Section or, (i) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar
organization or any Rating Agency, Commercial Paper dealer first loss provider, service provider, provider of credit enhancement or liquidity to such Conduit Lender or any Person providing financing to, or holding equity interest in, such Conduit
Lender, or to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants or attorneys of any of the foregoing; provided that with respect to this clause (i), such recipient has been advised of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as set forth in clause (ii) of this sentence, or as otherwise set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d),
(e) or (h) above, neither the identity of the Investors (other than by identification number and dollar amounts), nor the contents of the organizational documents or the subscription agreements or related subscription
booklets, offering memorandum and marketing materials, shall be revealed without the Borrower Parties consent (subject, with respect to clause (c) above, that obtaining the consent of such Borrower Party is permitted by law), and
(ii) without limiting clause (i) of this sentence, prior to revealing the identity of Investors (other than, in either case, by identification number and dollar amounts) to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement, the applicable assignor shall, enter into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section to which the Borrower Parties are intended third party beneficiaries entitled to enforce such agreement. Notwithstanding subsections (a) through (j), neither Administrative Agent, Funding Agent
nor any Lender shall disseminate any Information to a Competitor without the prior written consent of the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all non-public, confidential or
proprietary information received from or on behalf of any Borrower Party relating to any Borrower Party or any of their Subsidiaries, Investors or Affiliates or its or their business; provided, that any information provided by or on behalf of
any Borrower Party shall be deemed non-public, confidential and proprietary unless specifically identified otherwise by such Borrower Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section
shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

13.19 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower
Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies each Borrower Party, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower Party in accordance with
the Patriot Act. 
 13.20 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated
hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrower and each other Borrower Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding,
that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower, each other Borrower Party and their
respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand; (ii) Borrower 

  
 103 








 
and each other Borrower Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrower and each other Borrower Party
is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) Administrative Agent and the Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as
a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower or any other Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any
other Person; and (ii) neither Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers has any obligation to Borrower or any other Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of Borrower or any other Borrower Party and their respective Affiliates, and neither Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any other Borrower Party or any of their respective
Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower and each other Borrower Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency
or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
 13.21 Qualified Purchaser. Each Lender
represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Purchaser. 
 13.22 No Bankruptcy Petition Against any Conduit Lender. Each of the
parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Commercial Paper or other rated indebtedness of a Conduit Lender, it will not institute against, or
encourage, cooperate with or join any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the law of the United States or any state of the United States.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. 
 13.23 No Recourse Against
any Conduit Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, the obligations of each Conduit Lender under this Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such Conduit
Lender and shall be payable solely to the extent of funds received by such Conduit Lender from the Borrower Parties in accordance herewith or from any party to any Loan Document in accordance with the terms thereof in excess of funds necessary to
pay such Conduit Lender’s matured and maturing Commercial Paper or other rated indebtedness and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Lender
but shall continue to accrue. The payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against a Conduit Lender shall be
subordinated to the payment in full of all of such Conduit Lender’s Commercial Paper and other rated indebtedness. No recourse under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Conduit Lender as contained in this Credit
Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any manager or administrator of such Person or any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer, employee or
director of such Person or of any such manager or administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise. The provisions of this Section shall
survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. 
 13.24 Excess Funds. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Credit
Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender shall, nor shall any Conduit Lender be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Credit Agreement unless (i) such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used 

  
 104 








 
to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay its commercial paper notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Lender could
issue commercial paper notes to refinance all of its outstanding commercial paper notes (assuming such outstanding commercial paper notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing its securitization program or
(y) all of such Conduit Lender’s commercial paper notes are paid in full. Any amount which any Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in
Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of such Conduit Lender for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and
(ii) above. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. 

13.25 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic
platforms approved by Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system,
as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws
based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 13.26 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Credit Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Credit Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 7.01, this Credit Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by fax or other
electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement. 
 13.27 Judgment
Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower Party in respect of any such sum due
from it to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower Party in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency,
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 

  
 105 








 13.28 Entire Agreement. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE
FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:

possible thereafter) Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated
by Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
Administrative Agent will, at the request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the calculations of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender and the Mandatory Cost. 

3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to
Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s participation in all relevant Loans made
from such Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending Office. 

4. Subject to paragraph 13 below and/or any changes agreed between the Required Lenders and Borrower in order to reflect market practice in relation to
fees or costs imposed by the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority (as the case may be), the Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by
Administrative Agent as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	in relation to any Loan in Sterling: 

 AB+C(B-D)+E x 0.01 per cent per annum 

100 - (A+C) 
  

	 	(b)	in relation to any Loan in any currency other than Sterling: 

 E x
0.01        per cent per annum 
 300 

Where: 
  

	 	“A”	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of
England to comply with cash ratio requirements. 









	 	“B”	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin, the Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.05(b) and, in the
case of interest (other than on overdue amounts) charged at the Default Rate, without counting any increase in interest rate effected by the charging of the Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest Period of such Loan. 


 

	 	“C”	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England. 


 

	 	“D”	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. 

  

	 	“E”	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to
Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

 (a) “Eligible Liabilities” and
“Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 

(b) “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Conduct Authority Fees Manual and/or the
Fees Manual of the Prudential Regulation Authority or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

(c) “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors
(ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate) or such other equivalent fee tariffs payable to the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation
Authority (as the case may be); 
 (d) “Reference Banks” means four banks in the London interbank market selected by
Administrative Agent in consultation with Borrower (or all such banks if there are less than four); 
 (e) “Tariff
Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules; 
 (f) “Financial
Conduct Authority” means the Financial Conduct Authority established pursuant to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2012 (or any successor authority); 

(g) “Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Union that has the euro as its lawful currency
in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to Economic and Monetary Union; and 
 (h) “Prudential Regulation
Authority” means the Prudential Regulation Authority established pursuant to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2012 (or any successor authority). 







 6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages
(i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 

7. If requested by Administrative Agent or Borrower, each Reference Bank with a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall, as
soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority (as the case may be), supply to Administrative Agent and Borrower, the rate of charge payable by such Reference Bank to the Financial
Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority (as the case may be) pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority (as the case may be)
(calculated for this purpose by such Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Reference Bank. 

8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but
without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

(a) the jurisdiction of the Lending Office out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Loan; and 

(b) any other information that Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 

Each Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this
paragraph. 
 9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each
Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender
notifies Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same
jurisdiction as its Lending Office. 
 10. Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination
results in an Additional Cost Rate which over- or under-compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and
8 above is true and correct in all respects. 
 11. Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts
received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7
and 8 above. 
 12. Any determination by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the
Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 

13. Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any amendments
which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time 







 
imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Prudential Regulation Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any
of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

behalf of the Secured Parties may reasonably request from time to time, for the purpose of granting to, protecting, maintaining or perfecting in favor of the Secured Parties, first priority
security interests in any of the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), together with other assurances of the enforceability of the liens and assurances of due recording and documentation of the Collateral Documents or copies thereof, as
Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted pursuant to this Security Agreement; and 


 

	 	(e)	That neither Administrative Agent nor Secured Parties shall be responsible in any way for any depreciation in the value of the Collateral nor have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to take any steps to preserve any
rights of Borrower in the Collateral or under the Operating Agreement.

obligated to Borrower with respect to the Capital Contributions to make all payments due or to become due thereon directly to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at a different account than that specified in the Credit
Agreement, or (ii) to initiate one or more Capital Calls in order to pay the Obligations (which Capital Calls may be in an amount required to result in payment in full of the outstanding Obligations). In order to secure further the payment and
performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate the Secured Parties’ right of setoff, in each case, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as
the attorney-in-fact entitled in the name of Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make Capital Calls upon the Investors pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreement and the Operating
Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	With or without such general notification as set forth in Section 6.1(a) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured

	 	(c)	Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized and empowered, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, on behalf of Borrower and in accordance with the
Operating Agreement, to endorse the name of Borrower upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction or other document, agreement or item constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof, including, but not limited to, any item evidencing payment
upon a Capital Contribution of any Investor to Borrower coming into Administrative Agent’s or any Secured Party’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.


  

	 	(d)	Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, issuance by Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of a receipt to any Investor obligated to pay any Capital Contributions to
Borrower shall be a full and complete release, discharge and acquittance of such Investor to the extent of any amount so paid to the Collateral Account or otherwise to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, so long as such
amount shall not be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act or code, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine.


  

	 	(e)	All actions taken pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be subject to Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice of any action taken
pursuant to this Section 6.1, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of Borrower with respect to such action. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured
Party shall be deemed to make at any time any representation or warranty as to the validity of any Capital Call Notice nor shall Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties be accountable for Borrower’s use of the proceeds of any Capital Call
Notice. 

  

	6.2	Power of Attorney. Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to, in accordance with the Operating Agreement,
execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions or other documents, agreements or items on behalf of Borrower exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and subject to

granted or to secure the repayment of the Obligations, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such authority and power except as a result of gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 

  

	6.3	Collateral Sale or Other Disposition. 

  

	 	(a)	 During the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (subject to
Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement) to sell the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, upon credit or for future delivery and upon such other terms as Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, with Borrower hereby
waiving all rights, if any, to require Administrative Agent to marshal the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations. Any notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of
all or any part of the Collateral may be made shall be deemed reasonable if made in 



  

Exhibit D – Page 4 









	 	
accordance with applicable Law. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. From time to time
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, postpone the time and change the place of any proposed sale of any of the Collateral for which notice has been given as provided above if, in the judgment of Administrative Agent, such
postponement or change is necessary or appropriate in order that the provisions of this Security Agreement applicable to such sale may be fulfilled or in order to obtain more favorable conditions under which such sale may take place and notice of
such change has been provided in accordance with applicable Law. 

  

	 	(b)	In case of any sale by Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Collateral
so sold may be retained by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall incur any liability in case of failure of the
purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold. After deducting all costs or expenses for which Borrower is liable pursuant to the Credit Agreement
(including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, or both, to the extent due and payable in accordance with the Credit Agreement),
Administrative Agent shall apply the remaining balance of the proceeds of any sale or sales, if any, to pay the principal of and interest upon the Obligations in accordance with Section 11.05 in the Credit Agreement. If the proceeds of
any sale, disposition or other remedy are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency in the payment of the Obligations and the reasonable and documented fees of any attorney employed by
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral at any private sale or sales
conducted in accordance with applicable law except as a result of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 

  

	 	(c)	All recitals in any instrument of assignment or any other instrument executed by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties or by the Secured Parties incident to the sale, transfer, assignment or other
disposition or utilization of the Collateral or any part thereof hereunder shall be full proof of the matters stated therein and no other proof shall be required to establish full legal propriety of the sale or other action taken by Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties or by the Secured Parties or of any fact, condition or thing incident thereto, and all prerequisites of such sale or other action shall be presumed to have been performed or to have occurred.


  

	6.4	 Additional Rights and Remedies. Subject to Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement, Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties
shall have all rights, remedies and recourse granted in the Loan Documents or existing at common law or equity (including specifically those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in New York and any other state which governs the
creation or perfection (and the effect thereof) of any security interest in the Collateral), and such rights and remedies: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against
Borrower and any other party obligated under the Obligations, or against the Collateral, or any of such Collateral, or any other security for the Obligations, or any of them, at the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by

Borrower that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse; and (iv) are intended
to be and shall be, non-exclusive. 

  

	6.5	Subrogation. Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Borrower shall not be subrogated thereby to any rights of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or Borrower or any property of Borrower, nor shall Borrower be
deemed to be the owner of any interest in the Obligations, nor shall Borrower exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Borrower or the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or any of them or the property of Borrower until the
Obligations (other than contingent contractual indemnities) have been paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and is fully performed and discharged. 


 

	7.	Limitation on Liability. Regardless of any provision of this Security Agreement, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of the Operating Agreement or Credit Agreement by
Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, or both, neither Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be liable for the failure of Administrative Agent to collect or exercise diligence in the collection, possession or any transaction
concerning, all or part of the Capital Calls, Capital Call Notices, Capital Contributions or Capital Commitments, or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by
virtue of the security interests and liens granted herein.

	 	(c)	No delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such right or any other right. A waiver on any one or more occasions

to the Account, all sums now or at any time hereafter on deposit therein, credited thereto, or payable thereon, all proceeds and products thereof, and all instruments, documents, certificates, and other writings evidencing the Account, on the

	 	(b)	demand payment and performance thereof from the funds in or credited to the Account; 

  

	 	(c)	withdraw funds from the Account and apply all or any portion of the Account to the Obligations as described in paragraph 12 hereof;

	 	(g)	exercise any other rights or take any other actions specified herein or in the Credit Agreement and subject to any conditions set forth herein. 


 

	9.	Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Default, Assignee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in addition to any other remedies it may have, may restrict or prohibit withdrawals from the Account by

	11.	Assignee shall be entitled to apply any and all funds received by it hereunder toward payment and performance of the Obligations in such order and manner as Assignee, in its discretion, may elect, subject to the terms

	12.	All rights, titles, interests, liens and remedies of the Assignee for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder are cumulative of one another and of every other right, title, interest, lien or remedy which the
Secured Parties may otherwise have at law or in equity or under any other contract or other writing for the enforcement of the security interest herein or the collection of the Obligations, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall
not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies. Should Assignor have heretofore executed or hereafter execute any other security agreement in favor of the Secured Parties, the security interest therein

be a waiver of the default then existing. No waiver by the Secured Parties of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent default, nor shall any such waiver by the Secured Parties be deemed to be a continuing waiver. No delay
or omission by the Secured Parties in exercising any right or power hereunder, or under any other writings executed by Assignor or Obligor as security for or in connection with the Obligations, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as
a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power of the Secured Parties hereunder or under such
other writings. 

  

	14.	Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered and deemed effective in accordance with
