## Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 5, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), PGIM Private Credit Fund ABL LLC (the "SPV"), a wholly owned subsidiary of PGIM Private Credit Fund (the "Fund"), entered into a loan financing and servicing agreement (the "Credit Facility") with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as facility agent, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as collateral agent and collateral custodian, the Fund, as equityholder and servicer, the SPV, as borrower, and the lenders from time to time party thereto

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets in the SPV's portfolio, including a first-priority security interest (subject to permitted liens) in loan assets and related accounts and cash and cash equivalents, in each case as described in the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to an applicable margin plus a benchmark rate for the applicable currency (for Dollar advances, three-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate; for Euro advances, Euro Interbank Offered Rate; for Sterling advances, Daily Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average; for Canadian-dollar advances, Term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average; and for Australian-dollar advances, Bank Bill Swap Rate), in each case subject to a 0.25% floor.

The initial facility amount of the Credit Facility is $100 million, with an accordion feature that permits increases, with the consent of the facility agent and the lenders, up to an aggregate commitment of $500 million. The Credit Facility has a revolving period that ends on the date that is three years after the Closing Date (which may be extended with lender consent), and a final maturity on the earliest of (i) the date that is two years after the end of the revolving period and (ii) certain earlier termination events provided in the Credit Facility.

In connection with the Credit Facility, the SPV has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of the SPV occurs. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the SPV's portfolio. The advance rate applicable to any specific type of asset in the SPV's portfolio depends on the relevant asset coverage ratio as of the date of determination. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The foregoing description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Credit Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

**Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**

The information required by Item 2.03 contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

On the date of each Advance, each Lender shall purchase and sell Advances in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect to each such purchase, each Lender owns its Pro Rata Percentage of the Advances Outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) On each FX Evaluation Date, (A) the Servicer shall calculate the Borrowing Base and deliver such calculation to the Facility Agent and (B) the Facility Agent shall deliver in accordance with <u>Section 17.3</u> to the Collateral Agent, the Servicer and each Agent such calculation of the Borrowing Base, together with each Pro Rata Percentage and the actual percentage of the Advances Outstanding owing to each Lender as of such FX Evaluation Date.

------

that, after giving effect to each such purchase, each Lender owns its Pro Rata Percentage of the Advances Outstanding. Each Lender agrees to comply with the direction provided in the FX Reallocation Notice. Each such purchase and sale of Advances Outstanding shall occur on the second Business Day following delivery of the related FX Reallocation Notice (or, if the related FX Reallocation Notice is delivered to any Lender after 4:00 p.m. New York time, on the third Business Day following delivery of such FX Reallocation Notice) or, in each case, such shorter time period as agreed in writing by each affected Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall (i) any AUD Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in an Eligible Currency other than AUDs, (ii) any CAD Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in an Eligible Currency other than CADs, (iii) any Dollar Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars, (iv) any Euro Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in an Eligible Currency other than Euros or (v) any GBP Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in an Eligible Currency other than GBPs.

Each such Note shall be payable to the Agent for such Lender Group in a face amount equal to the applicable Lender Group's Commitment as of the Effective Date or the effective date on which such Lender Group becomes a party hereto, as applicable. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Agent to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to the Notes (or on any continuation of such grid, or at the option of such Agent, in its records), which notations, if made, shall evidence, *inter alia*, the date of the outstanding principal of the Advances evidenced thereby and each payment of principal thereon. Such notations shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error; <u>provided</u>, that the failure to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any payment thereon.

## Section 2.4 <u>Repayment and Prepayments</u>. (a) The Borrower shall repay the Advances Outstanding (i) on each Distribution Date to the extent required to be paid hereunder and funds are available therefor pursuant to <u>Section 8.3</u> and (ii) in full on the Facility Termination Date.

In the respective sole discretion of each Agent, the Revolving Period shall be extended to a date mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agents and in accordance with the other terms and conditions as may be agreed to from time-to-time by the Borrower and the Facility Agent. Each Lender may approve or decline an Extension Request in its sole discretion; <u>provided</u> that, the Lenders shall respond to an Extension Request in writing not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of such Extension Request, and if any Lender does not respond in writing by the end of such thirty (30) day period it shall be deemed to have denied such Extension Request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If a Revaluation Event occurs with respect to any Collateral Obligation, the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation may be amended by the Facility Agent, in its sole discretion; <u>provided</u> that, in the event of a Revaluation Event pursuant to <u>clause (d)</u> of the definition thereof with respect to a Collateral Obligation (i) that has a then-current Leverage Multiple no greater than 2.00x higher than the Original Leverage Multiple thereof, (ii) that has not been subject to any other Revaluation Event prior to this one and (iii) for which the related Obligor has an EBITDA for the prior twelve calendar months greater than or equal to $7,500,000, then the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation shall not be decreased by a percentage greater than the difference (expressed as a percentage) between (x) 1 *minus* (y)(A) the Original Leverage Multiple of such Collateral Obligation *divided by* (B) the then-current Leverage Multiple of such Collateral Obligation; <u>provided further</u> that, upon (x) the occurrence of any subsequent Revaluation Event with respect to such Collateral Obligation or (y) the then-current Leverage Multiple of such Collateral Obligation exceeding the Original Leverage Multiple thereof by more than 2.00x, the foregoing proviso shall cease to apply; <u>provided further</u> that, in the event of a Revaluation Event pursuant to <u>clause (f)</u> of the definition thereof, then (x) if such Collateral Obligation was sold at a price (as a percentage of par) greater than 75%, the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation may be amended by the Facility Agent to a price no less than the price (as a percentage of par) at which the relevant portion of such Collateral Obligation was sold and (y) if such Collateral Obligation was sold at a price (as a percentage of par) less than or equal to 75%, the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation may be amended by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Subject to <u>clause (d)</u> below, if the Discount Factor of any Collateral Obligation (other than a Non-Disputable Collateral Obligation) is amended by the Facility Agent pursuant to the foregoing <u>clause (b)</u>, the Servicer may dispute the same at its expense by (x) notifying the Facility Agent in writing of its intent to dispute within thirty (30) days after the effectiveness of such amended Discount Factor and (y) retaining an Approved Valuation Firm to re-determine the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation in accordance with the Valuation Standard and providing written notice to the Facility Agent attaching a copy of such re-determined Discount Factor within sixty (60) days after the effectiveness of such amended Discount Factor and, upon the Facility Agent's receipt of such notice, the valuation of the Discount Factor re-determined by the Approved Valuation Firm retained by the Servicer (such valuation not to exceed the Valuation Cap) shall automatically constitute the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation; <u>provided</u> that, once the Servicer has notified the Facility Agent that an Approved Valuation Firm has been selected pursuant to this <u>clause (c)</u>, such Approved Valuation Firm may

------

not be changed with respect to the applicable Collateral Obligation without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary (i) the Facility Agent may, at the expense of the Servicer, engage and obtain a valuation from any alternative Approved Valuation Firm at any time in connection with any dispute, re-determination or re-calculation pursuant to this <u>clause (c)</u>, as applicable; and (ii) if the Facility Agent delivers written notice to the Servicer setting forth the valuation from any alternative Approved Valuation Firm selected by the Facility Agent, the average of such valuation and the valuation most recently provided by or on behalf of the Servicer (such average not to exceed the Valuation Cap) shall automatically constitute the amended Discount Factor upon delivery of such notice. Any Discount Factor in effect and re-determined or re-calculated pursuant to this <u>clause (c)</u>, as applicable, shall be re-calculated (x) by the Facility Agent pursuant to the foregoing <u>clause (b)</u> upon the occurrence of a subsequent Revaluation Event with respect to the applicable Collateral Obligation and (y) otherwise, every six (6) months at the expense of the Servicer (1) by the Servicer's Approved Valuation Firm if the Facility Agent has not obtained a valuation from an alternative Approved Valuation Firm pursuant to this <u>clause (c)</u> or (2) if the Facility Agent has obtained a valuation from an alternative Approved Valuation Firm pursuant to this <u>clause (c)</u>, by the Servicer's Approved Valuation Firm and the Facility Agent's Approved Valuation Firm, as the average thereof (such valuation or such average, as applicable and in each case, not to exceed the Valuation Cap); <u>provided</u> that, if no such re-determined Discount Factor is provided by the Servicer's Approved Valuation Firm with respect to any six-month period, the Discount Factor of such Collateral Obligation shall thereafter be the Discount Factor determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Discount Factor of any Collateral Obligation that becomes a Non-Disputable Collateral Obligation, including any Collateral Obligation previously subject to dispute pursuant to the foregoing <u>clause (c)</u>, shall be as determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Facility Agent shall provide to the Borrower and the Servicer written notice of any revised Discount Factor determined pursuant to this <u>Section 2.7</u>. To the extent the Servicer has actual knowledge or has received notice of any Revaluation Event with respect to any Collateral Obligation, the Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Facility Agent (but, in any event, not later than two (2) Business Days after it receives notice or gains actual knowledge thereof).

## Section 2.8 <u>Increase of Facility Amount</u>. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (which consent may be conditioned on one or more conditions precedent in its sole discretion), (i) increase the Commitment of the existing Lender Groups (*pro rata*) with the consent of all such Lender Groups, (ii) add additional Lender Groups and/or (iii) increase the Commitment of any Lender Group with the consent of such Lender Group, in each case, which shall increase the Facility Amount by the amount of the increase of the Commitment of each such existing Lender Group and/or the amount of the Commitment of each additional Lender Group, as applicable; <u>provided</u> that, in no event shall the aggregate Commitments exceed $500,000,000 unless otherwise agreed by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion.

## Section 2.9 <u>Defaulting Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Collateral Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Facility Agent as follows: *first*, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Facility Agent hereunder; *second*, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion)), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Facility Agent; *third*, if so determined by the Facility Agent or the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Advances under this Agreement; *fourth*, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other 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 Agreement; *fifth*, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (except to the extent caused by such Defaulting Lender, as determined by the Facility Agent in its sole discretion), to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and *sixth*, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; <u>provided</u> that, if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a *pro rata* basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of 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 or to post cash collateral pursuant to this <u>Section 2.9</u> shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee or Make-Whole Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and under no circumstance shall the Borrower retroactively be or become required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) that Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment (other than a Fundamental Amendment), waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of "Required Lenders" and in <u>Section 17.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Facility Agent and the Borrower determine in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Facility 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of Advances Outstanding of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Facility Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a *pro rata* basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided</u> that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; <u>provided further</u> that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

(a) The Borrower hereby promises to pay, on the dates specified in <u>Section 3.2</u>, Yield on the outstanding amount of each Advance (or each portion thereof) for the period commencing on the applicable Advance Date until such Advance is paid in full. No provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall require the payment or permit the collection of Yield in excess of the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower shall pay the Undrawn Fee on the dates specified in <u>Section 3.2</u>.

## Section 3.3 <u>Yield Calculation</u>. The Advances shall bear interest on each day during each Accrual Period at a rate *per annum* equal to the product of (a) the Interest Rate for such Accrual Period *multiplied by* (b) the Advances Outstanding on such day. All Yield shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such Yield is payable over a year comprised of (x) with respect to Dollar Advances and Euro Advances, 360 days; <u>provided</u> that, the Yield for any Note accruing interest at the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year comprised of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and (y) with respect to Advances for any Eligible Currency other than Dollars or Euros, 365 days.

------

## Section 3.4 <u>Computation of Yield, Fees, Etc.</u> Each Agent (on behalf of its respective Lender Group) and the Facility Agent shall determine the applicable Yield and all Fees to be paid by the Borrower on each Distribution Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the Servicer and the Collateral Agent thereof in writing no later than the fifth (5 <sup>th</sup>) Business Day following the end of the related Accrual Period.

The respective Agent for each Lender Group shall allocate to the Lenders in its Lender Group each payment in respect of the Advances received by the respective Agent as provided by <u>Section 8.3(a)</u> or <u>Section 2.4</u>, as applicable.

## Section 4.3 <u>Taxes</u>. (a) <u>Payments Free of Taxes</u>. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this <u>Section 4.3</u>) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Facility Agent), or by the Facility Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Indemnification by the Lenders</u>. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Facility Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Facility Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 15.9</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Facility Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Facility Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Facility Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Facility Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Facility Agent under this <u>Section 4.3(d)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Evidence of Payments</u>.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or

------

information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in <u>Section 4.3(f)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>Section 4.3(f)(ii)(B)</u> and <u>Section 4.3(f)(ii)(D)</u> below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

------

refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this <u>Section 4.3</u> with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this <u>Section 4.3(g)</u> (*plus* any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 4.3(g)</u>, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this <u>Section 4.3(g)</u> the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This <u>Section 4.3(g)</u> shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 4.3</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Facility Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Defined Terms</u>. For purposes of this <u>Section 4.3</u>, the term "Applicable Law" includes FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that any Hedge Counterparty defaults in its obligation to make a payment to the Borrower under one or more Hedging Agreements on any date on which payments are due pursuant to a Hedging Agreement, the Borrower shall make a demand no later than the Business Day following such default on such Hedge Counterparty, or any guarantor, if applicable, demanding payment under the applicable Hedging Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Hedging Agreement. The Borrower shall give notice to the Facility Agent upon the continuing failure by any Hedge Counterparty to perform its obligations during the two (2) Business Days following a demand made by the Borrower on such Hedge Counterparty, and shall take such action with respect to such continuing failure as may be directed by the Facility Agent.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Unless an alternative arrangement pursuant to <u>Section 10.6(c)</u> is being established, the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Replacement Hedging Agreement or Qualified Substitute Arrangement meeting the requirements of this <u>Section 10.6</u> during the 30-day period following the expiration of the cure period set forth in the applicable Hedging Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Borrower, with the consent of the Facility Agent in its sole discretion, may sell all or a portion of the Hedging Agreements. The Borrower shall have the duty of obtaining a fair market value price for the sale of any Hedging Agreement, notifying the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent of prospective purchasers and bids, and selecting the purchaser of such Hedging Agreement. The Borrower and, at the Borrower's request, the Collateral Agent, upon receipt of the purchase price in the Collection Account shall, with the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, execute all documentation necessary to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent on such Hedging Agreement and proceeds thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 10.6</u>, but subject to the following proviso, the parties hereto agree that should the Borrower fail to observe or perform any of its obligations under this <u>Section 10.6</u> with respect to any Hedging Agreement the sole result will be that the Collateral Obligation or Collateral Obligations that are the subject of such Hedging

------

## Section 13.7 <u>Delay or Omission Not Waiver</u>. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or of any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this <u>Article XIII</u> or by law to the Collateral Agent or to the other Secured Parties may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent or by the other Secured Parties, as the case may be.

## Section 13.8 <u>Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws</u>. The Borrower waives and covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Agreement; and the Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Custodian shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, or for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. The foregoing appointment and grant of authority shall not be construed to impose upon the Collateral Agent any duty, obligation or liability of the Borrower or Servicer, or to discharge or release the Borrower or Servicer from any duty, obligation or liability on its part to be performed.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No person to whom this power of attorney is presented as authority for the Collateral Agent to take any action or actions contemplated by <u>clause (a)</u> shall inquire into or seek confirmation from the Borrower or the Servicer as to the authority of the Collateral Agent to take any action described below, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to the power of attorney described in <u>clause (a)</u>, which is intended to grant to the Collateral Agent unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer irrevocably waives any right to commence any suit or action, in law or equity, against any person or entity that acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this power of attorney.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Note Agent shall be under any obligation to any Person to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, the Transaction Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or the Servicer.

## Section 14.4 <u>Reliance by Note Agents</u>. Each Note Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to each of the Lenders), Independent Accountants and other experts selected by such Note Agent.

## Section 14.5 <u>Notices</u>.

## Section 14.6 <u>Non-Reliance on Note Agents</u>. The Lenders expressly acknowledge that no Note Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Note Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Note Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Note Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Obligations and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Note Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, and the Collateral Obligations.

------

## Lenders which may come into the possession of such Note Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
In no event shall any Note Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if such Note Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall any Note Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.

## Section 14.7 <u>Indemnification</u>. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Facility Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer under the Transaction Documents, and without limiting the obligation of such Persons to do so in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents), ratably according to the outstanding amounts of their Advances (or their Commitments, if no Advances are outstanding) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Facility Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative, or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Facility Agent or such affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Facility Agent or such affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith.

## Section 14.8 <u>Successor Note Agent</u>. If the Facility Agent shall resign as Facility Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders with the consent of the Borrower (other than during the continuance of an Event of Default) shall appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Facility Agent, and the term "Facility Agent" shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and the former Facility Agent's rights, powers and duties as Facility Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Facility Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. Any Agent may resign as Agent upon ten days' notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group and the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 14.8</u>. If an Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then Lenders in its Lender Group holding greater than 50% of the Advances Outstanding held by such Lender Group shall appoint a successor agent for such Lender Group. After any Note Agent's

------

## resignation hereunder, the provisions of this <u>Article XIV</u> shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Note Agent under this Agreement. No resignation of any Note Agent shall become effective until a successor Note Agent shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Note Agent hereunder; <u>provided</u> that, in the event a successor Note Agent is not appointed within 60 days after such notice of its resignation is given as permitted by this <u>Section 14.8</u>, the applicable Note Agent may petition a court for its removal. The indemnifications, protections and benefits of the Facility Agent under this Agreement, while acting in such capacity, shall survive any termination, removal or resignation of the Facility Agent.

## Section 14.9 <u>Note Agents in their Individual Capacity</u>. Each Note Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or the Servicer as though such Note Agent were not an agent hereunder. Any Person which is a Note Agent may act as a Note Agent without regard to and without additional duties or liabilities arising from its role as such administrator or agent or arising from its acting in any such other capacity. The Facility Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

## Section 14.10 <u>Borrower Audit</u>. The Facility Agent shall, at the Borrower's expense, retain Protiviti, Inc. (or another nationally recognized audit firm acceptable to the Facility Agent in its sole discretion) to conduct and complete a procedural review of the Collateral Obligations in compliance with the standards set forth on <u>Exhibit B</u> (as such <u>Exhibit B</u> may be amended from time to time in the sole discretion of the Facility Agent by delivery of such amended <u>Exhibit B</u> to the Borrower), (i) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Date and (ii) annually thereafter; <u>provided</u> that, there shall be no limits on the Facility Agent's right to conduct audits (at the Borrower's expense) during the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default. The Facility Agent shall promptly forward the results of such audit to the Servicer.

## Section 14.11 <u>Compliance with Applicable Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering Regulations</u>. In order to comply with Applicable Banking Law, the Facility Agent is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Facility Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Facility Agent, upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Facility Agent to comply with Applicable Banking Law.

## Section 14.12 <u>Erroneous Payment</u>. (a) If any Note Agent notifies a Lender, Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party such Lender (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, a " <u>Payment Recipient</u> ") that such Note Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding <u>clause (b)</u>) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient hereunder were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an " <u>Erroneous</u> 

------

## <u>Payment</u> ") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Note Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Note Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Note Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Base Rate and a rate determined by such Note Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of such Note Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Without limiting immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, each Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from any Note Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Note Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Note Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding <u>clauses (x)</u> or <u>(y)</u>, an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from such Note Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding <u>clause (z)</u>), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify such Note Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Note Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 14.12(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Note Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Note Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Note Agent under immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u> or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Note Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Note Agent in accordance with immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment

------

(or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "<u>Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency</u>"), upon the Note Agent's notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Note Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the "<u>Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment</u>") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Note Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrower or the Note Agent, (ii) the Note Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Note Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Note Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Note Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment in accordance with <u>Article XV</u> (including <u>Section 15.4</u>) hereof and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advances (or portion thereof), and the Note Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Note Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Note Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Note Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Transaction Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the "<u>Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Note Agent or other applicable Secured Party from the Borrower for the purpose of making payment in respect of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Note Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this <u>Section 14.12</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Note Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof).

# Article XV <br>ASSIGNMENTS

## Section 15.1 <u>Restrictions on Assignments by the Borrower and the Servicer</u>. Except as specifically provided herein, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer may assign any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent and the Required Lenders in their respective sole discretion and any attempted assignment in violation of this <u>Section 15.1</u> shall be null and void.

## Section 15.2 <u>Documentation</u>. In connection with any permitted assignment, each Lender shall deliver to each assignee an assignment, in such form as such Lender and the related assignee may agree, duly executed by such Lender assigning any such rights, obligations, Advance or Note to the assignee; and such Lender shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the assignee may reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the assignee's right, title and interest in and to the items assigned, and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder or under the Notes evidencing such Advance. In the case of an assignment of any Commitment (or any portion thereof) or any Advance (or any portion thereof) the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent a fully executed assignment thereof or a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit E</u> hereto.

## Section 15.3 <u>Rights of Assignee</u>. Upon the foreclosure of any assignment of any Advances made for security purposes, or upon any other assignment of any Advance from any Lender pursuant to this <u>Article XV</u>, the respective assignee receiving such assignment shall have all of the rights of such Lender hereunder with respect to such Advances and all references to the Lender or Lenders in <u>Sections 4.3</u> or <u>5.1</u> shall be deemed to apply to such assignee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to another Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) upon notice to the Borrower, to any Person (which each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to make such assignment to a Person who is not a Competitor) if such Lender makes a determination that its ownership of any of its rights or obligations hereunder is prohibited by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Volcker Rule and/or GBSA); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) to any Person with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, it being understood that it shall not be deemed unreasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent to any assignment to a Competitor);

<u>provided further</u> that, each Lender shall first offer to sell such interest(s) to (i) the Lender affiliated with the Facility Agent and, if such Lender does not accept such offer within ten (10) Business Days, then (ii) to each remaining Lender (*pro rata*) for a period of ten (10) Business Days prior to offering to any Person that is not an existing Lender.

Each Lender shall endorse the Notes to reflect any assignments made pursuant to this <u>Article XV</u> or otherwise. The Borrower hereby agrees to provide all information reasonably requested by any permitted assignee or potential assignee in connection with "know your customer" laws or any similar regulations.

## Section 15.5 <u>Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange</u>. (a) The Facility Agent, acting solely for this purpose as agent for the Borrower (and, in such capacity, the " <u>Loan Registrar</u> "), shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address of each Lender (including any assignees), and the principal amounts (and stated interest) owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the " <u>Loan Register</u> "). The entries in the Loan Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Facility Agent, each Agent and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Loan Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Loan Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Person who has or who acquired an interest in a Note shall be deemed by such acquisition to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this <u>Section 15.5(b)</u>. A Note may be exchanged (in accordance with <u>Section 15.5(c)</u>) and transferred to the holders (or their agents or nominees) of the Advances and to any assignee (in accordance with <u>Section 15.1</u>) (or its agent or nominee) of all or a portion of the Advances. The Loan Registrar shall not register (or cause to be registered) the transfer of such Note, unless the proposed transferee shall have delivered to the Loan Registrar either (i) an Opinion of Counsel that the transfer of such Note is exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state securities laws and that the transfer does not constitute a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" under ERISA or (ii) an express agreement by the proposed transferee to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this <u>Section 15.5(b)</u> and the restrictions noted on the face of such Note.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) At the option of the holder thereof, a Note may be exchanged for one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like class and aggregate principal amount at an office or agency of the Borrower. Whenever any Note is so surrendered for exchange, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Loan Registrar) the new Note which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive at the Loan Registrar's office, located at the Facility Agent's address as set forth on <u>Annex A</u> hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Borrower, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Loan Registrar), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like class and aggregate principal amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of any Note in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Note(s) surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Borrower or the Loan Registrar) be fully endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Loan Registrar, duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Note, but the Borrower may require payment from the transferee holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of exchange of a Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The holders of the Notes shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

## Section 15.6 <u>Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes</u>. (a) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Loan Registrar, the Borrower shall execute and deliver (through the Loan Registrar) in exchange therefor a new Note of like class and tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this <u>Section 15.6</u>, the Borrower may require the payment from the transferor holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The provisions of this <u>Section 15.6</u> are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note.

## Section 15.7 <u>Persons Deemed Owners</u>. The Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and any agent for any of the foregoing may treat the holder of any Note as the owner of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note may be overdue, and none of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

## Section 15.8 <u>Cancellation</u>. All Notes surrendered for payment or registration of transfer or exchange shall be promptly canceled. The Borrower shall promptly cancel and deliver to the Loan Registrar any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Borrower may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Borrower. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this <u>Section 15.8</u>, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

## Section 15.9 <u>Participations; Pledge</u>. (a) At any time and from time to time, each Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, pledge or grant participations in all or a portion of its Note, its Commitment and/or its interest in the Advances and other payments due to it under this Agreement to any Person (each, a " <u>Participant</u> ") with the prior written consent of the Facility Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); <u>provided</u> that, no such consent shall be required (i) if an Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default, Unmatured Servicer Default or Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if such pledge or participation is to an Affiliate of such Lender (so long as, in the case of a Dollar Lender, such Affiliate is able to satisfy <u>Section 17.16</u>). No pledge or grant of participations shall be made to a Competitor (unless an Event of Default or a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing) without the prior written consent of the Borrower. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) any such participation will not alter or affect such Lender's direct obligations hereunder, and (B) none of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Facility Agent, any Lender, the Collateral Agent nor the Servicer shall have any obligation to have any communication or relationship with any Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 4.3</u> and <u>Section 5.1</u> (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under <u>Section 4.3(f)</u> (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 4.3(f)</u> shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this <u>Article XV</u>; <u>provided</u> that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of <u>Section 17.16</u> as if it were an assignee under this <u>Article XV</u>; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 4.3</u> or <u>Section 5.1</u>, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in any

------

## Applicable Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of <u>Section 17.16(b)</u> with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 17.1</u> as though it were a Lender.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything in <u>Section 15.9(a)</u> to the contrary, each Lender may pledge its interest in the Advances and the Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral in accordance with Applicable Law without the prior written consent of any Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the obligations under the Transaction Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Facility Agent (in its capacity as Facility Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

## Section 15.10 <u>Reallocation of Advances</u>. Any reallocation of Advances among Committed Lenders pursuant to an assignment executed by such Committed Lender and its assignee(s) and delivered pursuant to <u>Article XV</u> or pursuant to a Joinder Agreement executed and delivered pursuant to <u>Article XV</u> in each case shall be wired by the applicable purchasing Lender(s) to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the wiring instructions provided by the Collateral Agent; <u>provided</u> that the Collateral Agent shall not wire such amounts to the applicable selling Lender(s) until it has received an executed assignment agreement or Joinder Agreement, as applicable.

# Article XVI <br>INDEMNIFICATION

Indemnification under this <u>Section 16.1</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of any Indemnified Party and shall include reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of litigation.

Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender removed or replaced under the provisions hereof shall have any right to receive any amounts set forth in <u>Section 2.5(b)</u> in connection with such removal or replacement. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding (whether in contract, tort or otherwise and whether at law or in equity). The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding (whether in contract, tort or otherwise and whether at law or in equity) shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights

------

and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

The Collateral Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Collateral Obligation Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof.

Upon receipt of such certification and request, unless it receives notice to the contrary from the Facility Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall within three days release the related Collateral Obligation File to the Servicer and the Servicer will not be required to return the related Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Custodian.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any of the Collateral Obligations, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Collateral Obligations, the Collateral Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release and Receipt substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit F-2</u> from an authorized representative of the Servicer (as listed on <u>Exhibit F-1</u>, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time by the Servicer with notice to the Collateral Custodian and the Facility Agent), release the related Collateral Obligation File or the documents set forth in such Request for Release and Receipt to the Servicer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) implement policies and procedures consistent with the Servicing Standard and requirements of this Agreement so that the integrity and physical possession of such Collateral Obligation Files will be maintained; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) take all other actions, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in connection with maintaining custody of such Collateral Obligation Files on behalf of the Collateral Agent.

(a) After the expiration of the 180-day period commencing on the date hereof, the Collateral Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 60 days' prior written notice to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Facility Agent; <u>provided</u>, that no resignation or removal of the Collateral Custodian will be permitted unless a successor Collateral Custodian has been appointed which successor Collateral Custodian, so long as no Servicer Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer. After receipt of notice of the Collateral Custodian's resignation, the Facility Agent shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Borrower, the Servicer, the resigning Collateral Custodian and to the successor Collateral Custodian.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Facility Agent upon at least 60 days' prior written notice to the Collateral Custodian, may remove and discharge the Collateral Custodian or any successor Collateral Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement, with or without cause. Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Custodian, the Facility Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Custodian (which successor Collateral Custodian, so long as no Servicer Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer). Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and one original counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be delivered to the Collateral Custodian and the successor Collateral Custodian, with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Servicer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event of any such resignation or removal, the Collateral Custodian shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of the successor Collateral
