**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**For the three and six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024**

**(Except per share amounts or as otherwise indicated, currency and share amounts in thousands)**

**(unaudited)** 

**NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:**

TD SYNNEX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as "TD SYNNEX", "SYNNEX" or the "Company") is a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the information technology ("IT") ecosystem, headquartered in Fremont, California and Clearwater, Florida and has operations in North and South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific and Japan. The Company operates in three reportable segments based on its geographic regions: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific and Japan ("APJ").

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities if the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on November 30.

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of May 31, 2025 and for the three and six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024.

Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year, and the Company makes no representations related thereto. Certain columns and rows may not add or compute due to the use of rounded numbers.

**NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:**

For a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies, refer to the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The Company evaluates these estimates on a regular basis and bases them on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

**Concentration of Credit Risk**

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables from vendors and derivative instruments.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing, and their compositions and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Through May 31, 2025, the Company has not experienced any material credit losses on such deposits and derivative instruments.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**For the three and six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024**

**(Except per share amounts or as otherwise indicated, currency and share amounts in thousands)**

**(unaudited)** 

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers, including related parties. Receivables from vendors, net, includes amounts due from original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") vendors primarily in the technology industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for expected credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of its receivable portfolio, the existence of credit insurance and specifically identified customer and vendor risks.

The following table provides revenue generated from products purchased from vendors that exceeded 10% of our consolidated revenue for the periods indicated (as a percent of consolidated revenue):

---

_________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> Revenue generated from products purchased from this vendor was less than 10% of consolidated revenue during the period presented.

One customer accounted for 11% and 10% of the Company's total revenue during the three and six months ended May 31, 2025, respectively. One customer accounted for 12% and 11% of the Company's total revenue during the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, respectively. As of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, no single customer comprised more than 10% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance.

**Accounts Receivable**

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts as an estimate to cover the future expected credit losses resulting from uncertainty regarding collections from customers or OEM vendors to make payments for outstanding balances. In estimating the required allowance, the Company takes into consideration historical credit losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current conditions as well as changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates or gross domestic product growth. Expected credit losses are estimated on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist using an age-based reserve model. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis.

The Company has uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreements with global financial institutions under which trade accounts receivable of certain customers and their affiliates may be acquired, without recourse, by the financial institutions. Available capacity under these programs is dependent on the level of the Company's trade accounts receivable with these customers and the financial institutions' willingness to purchase such receivables. In addition, certain of these programs also require that the Company continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. As of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institutions under these programs were $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. Discount fees related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under these facilities are included in "Interest expense and finance charges, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Discount fees for these programs totaled $13.5 million and $25.5 million in the three and six months ended May 31, 2025, respectively and $16.6 million and $32.6 million in the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, respectively.

**Seasonality**

The Company's operating results are affected by the seasonality of the IT products industry. The Company has historically experienced slightly higher sales in the first and fourth fiscal quarters due to patterns in capital budgeting, federal government spending and purchasing cycles of its customers and end-users. These historical patterns may not be repeated in subsequent periods.

**(unaudited)** 

**Revenue Recognition**

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of various IT products.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of IT hardware and software as control is transferred to customers, which is at the point in time when the product is shipped or delivered. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection. Binding purchase orders from customers together with agreement to the Company's terms and conditions of sale by way of an executed agreement or other signed documents are considered to be the contract with a customer. Products sold by the Company are delivered via shipment from the Company's facilities, drop-shipment directly from the vendor, or by electronic delivery of software products. In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions, revenue is recognized when the Company can objectively verify the products comply with specifications underlying acceptance and the customer has control of the products. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities. The Company generally invoices a customer upon shipment, or in accordance with specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. In relation to product support, supply chain management and other services performed by the Company, revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed.

Provisions for sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical data and are recorded concurrently with the recognition of revenue. A liability is recorded at the time of sale for estimated product returns based upon historical experience and an asset is recognized for the amount expected to be recorded in inventory upon product return. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted periodically by the Company. Revenue is reduced for early payment discounts and volume incentive rebates offered to customers, which are considered variable consideration, at the time of sale based on an evaluation of the contract terms and historical experience.

The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis on certain contracts, where the Company's performance obligation is to arrange for the products or services to be provided by another party or the rendering of logistics services for the delivery of inventory for which the Company does not assume the risks and rewards of ownership, by recognizing the margins earned in revenue with no associated cost of revenue. Such arrangements include supplier service contracts, post-contract software support services, cloud computing and software as a service arrangements, certain fulfillment contracts, extended warranty contracts and certain of the Company's systems design and integration solutions arrangements which operate under a customer-owned procurement model.

The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the sale of products. Shipping revenue is included in revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue.

The Company disaggregates its operating segment revenue by geography, which the Company believes provides a meaningful depiction of the nature of its revenue. Disaggregated revenue disclosure is presented in <u>[Note 12](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_91)</u> – Segment Information.

**Reclassifications**

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on previously reported amounts.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In November 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update, ASU 2023-07, which requires the following enhanced segment disclosures on an annual and interim basis: (1) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (2) other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, and (3) the title of the chief operating decision maker, an explanation of how they use the reported measures of segment profit/loss in assessing segment performance and decide how to allocate resources, as well as clarifications if they use more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will first be applied in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025, and for subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new accounting standard will have on its segment reporting disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update, ASU 2023-09, which requires enhanced income tax disclosures. The enhanced disclosures required include disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. ASU 2023-09 also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which for the Company would be the fiscal year ending November 30, 2026. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new accounting standard will have on its income tax disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standards update, ASU 2024-03, which requires new tabular disclosures in the notes to consolidated financial statements, disaggregating certain cost and expense categories within relevant captions on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The prescribed cost and expense categories requiring disaggregated disclosures include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, along with certain other expense disclosures already required by U.S. GAAP that would need to be integrated within the new tabular disaggregated expense disclosures. Additionally, the amendments also require the disclosure of total selling expenses and an entity's definition of those expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, which for the Company would be the fiscal year ending November 30, 2028, and for subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new accounting standard will have on its expense disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Refer to <u>[Note 8](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_70)</u> - Derivative Instruments for the location of gains and losses reclassified from AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**NOTE 8—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:**

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, equity risk, commodity price changes and credit risk. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity's functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, swaps, or other derivative instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, earnings, net investments in certain international subsidiaries and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company's hedging program is not used for trading or speculative purposes.

**For the three and six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024**

**(Except per share amounts or as otherwise indicated, currency and share amounts in thousands)**

**(unaudited)** 

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, or as a component of AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as discussed below.

**Cash Flow Hedges**

The Company designates certain foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge forecasted sales transactions, inventory purchases and operating expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity's functional currency as cash flow hedges. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have terms up to 24 months. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the related impacts from the hedged items, as follows: hedges of forecasted sales transactions are recognized in "Revenue", hedges of forecasted inventory purchases are recognized in "Cost of revenue" and hedges of forecasted operating expenses are recognized in "Selling, general and administrative expenses".

Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified into earnings in the period of de-designation. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are recorded in earnings unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions. The Company classifies cash flows related to the settlement of its cash flow hedges as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

**Net Investment Hedges**

The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts, as well as foreign currency forward contracts combined with zero cost foreign exchange collar contracts, to hedge a portion of its net investment in euro denominated foreign operations which are designated as net investment hedges. The Company entered into the net investment hedges to offset the risk of change in the U.S. dollar value of the Company's investment in a euro functional subsidiary due to fluctuating foreign exchange rates. Gains and losses on the net investment hedges, which have been recorded in AOCI and will remain in AOCI until the sale or substantial liquidation of the underlying assets of the Company's investment, are included within the "Foreign currency translation adjustments and other" caption on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The initial fair value of hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is being recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. The Company classifies cash flows related to the settlement of its net investment hedges as investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

**Non-Designated Derivatives**

The Company uses short-term forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entities. These contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, mature or settle within twelve months. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates.

<sup>(1)</sup> The Company had no material cash flow hedges outstanding as of November 30, 2024.

**Volume of Activity**

The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including, principally, the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Costa Rican colón, Czech koruna, Danish krone, Euro, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, Romanian leu, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona, Swiss franc and Turkish lira that will be bought or sold at maturity. The notional amounts of foreign exchange collar contracts represent the amounts of put and call options to sell or purchase Euros at a predetermined strike price. The notional amounts for outstanding derivative instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding and do not represent the amount of the Company's exposure to credit or market loss. The Company's exposure to credit loss and market risk will vary over time as currency and interest rates change.

Except for the net investment hedge amounts shown above, there were no gain or loss amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Existing net losses in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the normal course of business within the next twelve months are $0.9 million.

Credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties' obligations under the contracts exceed the Company's obligations to the counterparties. The Company manages the potential risk of credit losses through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing and selection of counterparties from a limited group of financial institutions.

**NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:** 

The Company's fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company's financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

**(unaudited)** 

The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers. The fair values of foreign exchange collar contracts are measured using the cash flows of the contracts, discount rates to account for the passage of time, implied volatility and current foreign exchange market data, which are all based on inputs readily available in public markets. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024.

The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates which are variable in nature. The carrying value of the Company's term loans approximate their fair value since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately $2.3 billion as of both May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024.

During the six months ended May 31, 2025, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.

**TD SYNNEX U.S. Accounts Receivable Securitization Arrangement**

In the U.S., the Company has an accounts receivable securitization program to provide additional capital for its operations (the "U.S. AR Arrangement"). Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, as amended, the Company and its subsidiaries that are party to the U.S. AR Arrangement can borrow based on the key terms in the table below (currency in thousands):

<sup>(3)</sup> Payable on the used portion of the lenders' commitment; accrues per annum.

<sup>(4)</sup> Payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders, accrues at different tiers per annum depending on the amount of outstanding advances from time to time.

Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. Such receivables, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled approximately $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion as of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables acquired by the Company's bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as security. Any amounts borrowed under the U.S. AR Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no amounts outstanding under the U.S. AR Arrangement at May 31, 2025 or November 30, 2024.

**TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement**

The Company is party to an amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of April 16, 2024 (as amended, the "TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as agent, pursuant to which the Company received commitments for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility") not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion, which may, at the request of the Company but subject to the lenders' discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $500.0 million. The borrowers under the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement are TD SYNNEX Corporation and certain subsidiaries of the Company. There was $150.0 million outstanding under the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility at May 31, 2025 at an interest rate of 5.61%. There were no amounts outstanding under the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility at November 30, 2024. Borrowings under the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate, plus a credit spread adjustment, plus the applicable margin, as well as a commitment fee as referenced in the table below:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|

---

<sup>(1)</sup> As amended, the TD SYNNEX revolving credit facility will mature on April 16, 2029, subject, in the lender's discretion to two one-year extensions upon the Company's prior notice to lenders.

<sup>(2)</sup> The margin is based on the Company's Public Debt Rating (as defined in the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement). The applicable margin on base rate loans is 1.00% less than the corresponding margin on SOFR rate based loans.

<sup>(3)</sup> The commitment fee range is applied to any unused commitment under the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company's Public Debt Rating.

The 2024 Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million (the "2024 Term Loan"). The borrower under the 2024 Term Loan is the Company.

Loans borrowed under the 2024 Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate, plus credit spread adjustment, plus the applicable margin within a range based on the Company's Public Debt Rating (as defined in the 2024 Term Loan Credit Agreement).

**TD SYNNEX Senior Notes**

On August 9, 2021, the Company completed its offering of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due in 2024, 2026, 2028 and 2031 (collectively, the "Senior Notes," and such offering, the "Senior Notes Offering"). In July 2022, the Company completed an offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") its outstanding unregistered Senior Notes for new registered notes (the "Exchange Notes"). The aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes that were issued was equal to the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that were surrendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the respective series of the Senior Notes, except that the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act, and certain transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions relating to the Senior Notes do not apply to the Exchange Notes.

On April 12, 2024, the Company issued and sold $600.0 million of senior notes due in 2034 (the "2034 Senior Notes" and such offering, the "2034 Senior Notes Offering"). The Company used the net proceeds from the 2034 Senior Notes Offering, together with other available funds, to repay the $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 1.250% Senior Notes that were due August 9, 2024 and for general corporate purposes. The Company incurred $6.1 million towards issuance costs on the 2034 Senior Notes. References to the collective Senior Notes hereafter also include the 2034 Senior Notes.

**Other Short-Term Borrowings**

The Company has various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions, short-term loans, term loans, credit facilities, and book overdraft facilities, totaling approximately $616.8 million in borrowing capacity as of May 31, 2025. Most of these facilities are provided on a short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by country, depending on local market conditions. There was $232.4 million outstanding on these facilities at May 31, 2025, at a weighted average interest rate of 8.87%, and there was $171.1 million outstanding at November 30, 2024, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.91%. Borrowings under these lines of credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company or secured by eligible accounts receivable.

At May 31, 2025, the Company was also contingently liable for reimbursement obligations with respect to issued standby letters of credit in the aggregate outstanding amount of $51.5 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.

The maximum commitment amounts for local currency credit facilities have been translated into U.S. dollars at May 31, 2025 exchange rates.

**Covenant Compliance**

The Company's credit facilities have a number of covenants and restrictions that require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios, including a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, in each case tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The covenants also limit the Company's ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of the Company's business, and merge or consolidate. As of May 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all material financial covenants for the above arrangements.

**NOTE 11 – SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAMS:** 

The Company has certain arrangements with third-party financial institutions ("Supplier Finance Programs"), which facilitate the participating vendors' ability to sell their accounts receivable from the Company to the third-party financial institutions, at the sole discretion of these vendors. The Company is not party to the agreements between the vendor and the third-party financial institution. As part of these arrangements, the Company generally receives more favorable payment terms from its vendors. The Company's rights and obligations to its vendors, including amounts due, are generally not impacted by Supplier Finance Programs. However, the Company agrees to make all payments to the third-party financial institutions, and the Company's right to offset balances due from vendors against payment obligations is restricted by the agreements for those payment obligations that have been sold by the respective vendors. The Company generally does not incur any fees under Supplier Finance Programs; however, the Company did recognize an immaterial amount of fees during the three and six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024 within "Cost of revenue" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations related to an arrangement with a certain vendor. As of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, the Company had $2.8 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, in obligations outstanding under these programs included in "Accounts payable" in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and all activity related to the obligations is presented within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

**NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:**

As is customary in the technology industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase products from us, the Company also has other financing agreements with financial institutions to provide inventory financing facilities to the Company's customers and allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the financial institutions. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under these agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the financial institutions. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company's repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Losses, if any, would be the difference between the repossession cost and the resale value of the inventory. Repurchases under these arrangements have been insignificant to date and the Company is not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.

In 2013, the French Autorité de la Concurrence ("Competition Authority") began an investigation into the French market for certain products of Apple, Inc. ("Apple") for which the Company is a distributor. In March 2020, the Competition Authority imposed fines on the Company, on another distributor, and on Apple, finding that the Company entered into an anticompetitive agreement with Apple regarding volume allocations of Apple products. The initial fine imposed on the Company was €76.1 million. The Company appealed its determination to the French courts, seeking to set aside or reduce the fine. On October 6, 2022, the appeals court issued a ruling that reduced the fine imposed on the Company from €76.1 million to €24.9 million. As a result of the appeals court ruling, the Company paid €24.9 million through fiscal year 2022. The Company continues to contest the arguments of the Competition Authority and has further appealed this matter. A civil lawsuit related to this matter, alleging anticompetitive actions in association with the established distribution networks for Apple, the Company and another distributor was filed by eBizcuss. On November 25, 2024, the Paris Commercial Court ruled in favor of the Company and the other defendants and dismissed the claims in the eBizcuss civil lawsuit. An appeal to the ruling has since been made by eBizcuss, and while the Company continues to evaluate this matter, based on the favorable ruling from the Paris Commercial Court, the Company believes the likelihood of a material loss related to the eBizcuss lawsuit is remote.

From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these claims and records the related liabilities in cases where a contingent obligation is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible that the ultimate liabilities could differ from the amounts recorded.

The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

**Overview**

We are a Fortune 100 corporation and a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem. We serve a critical role, bringing products from the world's leading and emerging technology vendors to market, and helping our customers create solutions best suited to maximize business outcomes for their end-user customers.

------

**<u>[Table of contents](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_7)</u>**

Digital transformation and the migration to cloud computing is reshaping our industry, enabling businesses and consumers to evaluate, procure, acquire, and consume technology products and services in a variety of ways. Hybrid models of IT consumption, supporting both physical and virtual delivery methods are emerging, as hardware and software-based solutions become increasingly combined. As a result, customers are seeking greater integration of products, services and solutions that tie technologies together. Therefore, we believe it is important to provide a broad, end-to-end portfolio, with deep capabilities across the computing continuum to help customers manage the increasingly complex IT ecosystem and deliver the solutions and business outcomes the market desires. Our vision for the future is to be the vital solutions aggregator and orchestrator that connects the IT ecosystem.

We are focusing on the following strategic imperatives in pursuit of our vision:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Unify our reach** through expansion of our portfolio in both mature and developing markets through our targeted go-to-market strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Target new customers** by leveraging our specialist model to target emerging customer groups, offering deeply personalized solutions to grow our customer base.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Expand our addressable market** through our unique vendor value proposition, capitalizing on end-to-end capabilities through growth with our existing vendors and through building relationships with new vendors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Diversify our offerings** within our end-to-end portfolio of products, services and solutions, including further investments in hyperscale infrastructure manufacturing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Accelerate our focus on services** and invest in the growth of our services business to enhance our value proposition to vendors and customers.

We offer a comprehensive catalog of technology products from OEMs, such as personal computing devices, mobile phones and accessories, and strategic technologies such as cloud, security, data analytics, artificial intelligence ("AI") and hyperscale infrastructure. This enables us to offer comprehensive solutions to our customers, including value-added resellers ("VARs"), corporate resellers, government resellers, system integrators, direct marketers, retailers and managed service providers ("MSPs"). We combine our core strengths in distribution with demand generation, supply chain management and design and integration solutions to help our customers achieve greater efficiencies in time to market, cost minimization, real-time linkages in the supply chain and aftermarket product support. We also provide comprehensive IT solutions including hardware, software and services which provides a highly efficient route to market for both vendors and customers.

We group the majority of our offerings into two primary solutions portfolios, Endpoint Solutions and Advanced Solutions. Our Endpoint Solutions portfolio primarily includes personal computing devices and peripherals, mobile phones and accessories, printers and supplies. Our Advanced Solutions portfolio primarily includes data center technologies such as hybrid cloud, security, storage, networking, servers, software, converged and hyper-converged infrastructure and hyperscale infrastructure, via our Hyve business.

Our business is characterized by low gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, and low operating income as a percentage of revenue, or operating margin. Relatedly, tariffs, value added taxes and other similar charges on our products are generally passed through to our customers as part of our sales price. The market for IT products has generally been characterized by declining unit prices and short product life cycles, although unit prices for certain products have increased during certain periods due to factors such as supply chain constraints and inflation. We set our sales price based on the market supply and demand characteristics for each particular product or bundle of products we distribute and services we provide.

**<u>[Table of contents](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_7)</u>**

*Economic and Industry Trends*

We are highly dependent on the end-market demand for IT products, and on our partners' strategic initiatives and business models. This end-market demand is influenced by many factors including the introduction of new IT products and software by OEM suppliers, replacement cycles for existing IT products, trends toward cloud computing and AI, overall economic growth and general business activity. A difficult and challenging economic environment, due to the continued persistence of inflation, elevated interest rates, market volatility and adverse effects on product demand connected to geopolitical developments including tariff uncertainty, or other factors may also lead to decline in the IT industry or increased price-based competition. Our systems design and integration solutions business is highly dependent on the demand for cloud infrastructure, and the number of key customers and suppliers in the market. Our business includes operations in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific and Japan ("APJ") so we are affected by demand for our products in those regions, as well as the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States ("U.S.") dollar.

*Acquisitions*

As part of our corporate strategy and to augment organic growth, we evaluate strategic acquisitions of businesses and assets that complement and expand our existing capabilities or enable us to acquire new OEM relationships, enhance our supply chain and integration capabilities, the services we provide to our customers and OEM suppliers, and expand our geographic footprint. In addition, we continually review our operations and product and service offerings and divest businesses that we deem no longer strategic to our ongoing operations.

On March 22, 2021, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") which provided that legacy SYNNEX Corporation would acquire legacy Tech Data Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Tech Data") through a series of mergers, which would result in Tech Data becoming an indirect subsidiary of TD SYNNEX Corporation (collectively, the "Merger"). On September 1, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we acquired all the outstanding shares of common stock of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, the parent corporation of Tech Data, for consideration of $1.6 billion in cash ($1.1 billion in cash after giving effect to a $500.0 million equity contribution by Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P., Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation's sole stockholder and an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc., to Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation prior to the effective time of the Merger) and 44 million shares of common stock of SYNNEX, valued at approximately $5.6 billion.

**Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information**

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue in constant currency, which is revenue adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Revenue in constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue for the three and six months ended May 31, 2025 in the billing currency using the comparable prior period currency conversion rate. Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, which excludes acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, the amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expense. TD SYNNEX also uses adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross profit, which is a useful metric in considering the portion of gross profit retained after selling, general and administrative expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP net income, which is net income, adjusted to exclude acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and income taxes related to the aforementioned items.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share ("EPS"), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share impact of acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and income taxes related to the aforementioned items.

Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, which are expensed as incurred, primarily represent professional services costs for legal, banking, consulting and advisory services, severance and other personnel related costs, share-based compensation expense and debt extinguishment fees that are incurred in connection with acquisition, integration, restructuring and divestiture activities. From time to time, this category may also include transaction-related gains/losses on divestitures/spin-off of businesses, costs related to long-lived assets including impairment charges and accelerated depreciation and amortization expense due to changes in asset useful lives, as well as various other costs associated with the acquisition or divestiture.

Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of finite-lived intangible assets which consist primarily of customer relationships and vendor lists. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the sale of our products. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors' ability to compare our past financial performance with our current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within our GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised.

**<u>[Table of contents](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_7)</u>**

Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense arising from the grant of equity awards to employees and non-employee members of our Board of Directors based on the estimated fair value of those awards. Although share-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees, the fair value of the share-based awards may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related share-based awards and the expense can vary significantly between periods as a result of the timing of grants of new stock-based awards, including grants in connection with acquisitions. Given the variety and timing of awards and the subjective assumptions that are necessary when calculating share-based compensation expense, we believe this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results from period to period.

We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with data presented in accordance with GAAP.

Our gross margin is affected by a variety of factors, including competition, selling prices, mix of products, the percentage of revenue that is presented on a net basis, product costs along with rebate and discount programs from our suppliers, reserves or settlement adjustments, freight costs, inventory losses and fluctuations in revenue.

*Three Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Gross profit increased primarily due to the increase in revenue due to growth in both our Endpoint Solutions and Advanced Solutions portfolios.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross margin was relatively consistent. The presentation of additional revenues on a net basis due to the mix of products sold positively impacted our gross margin by approximately 31 basis points, which was partially offset by higher strategic technologies margins in the prior year period.

*Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross profit increased, primarily due to the increase in revenue due to growth in both our Endpoint Solutions and Advanced Solutions portfolios, partially offset by the decrease in gross margin.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross margin decreased primarily due to higher strategic technologies margins during the prior year, partially offset by the impact of the presentation of additional revenues on a net basis due to the mix of products sold, which positively impacted our gross margin by approximately 27 basis points.

***Acquisition, Integration and Restructuring Costs***

Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs during the three and six months ended May 31, 2024 were primarily comprised of costs related to the Merger. Other acquisition, integration and restructuring costs were $0.7 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2025, respectively, and $5.2 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2024.

*The Merger*

We completed the acquisition, integration and restructuring activities related to the Merger during the first half of fiscal year 2024. There were no related expenses recognized during the three and six months ended May 31, 2025 and there are no related expenses expected in future periods. We previously incurred acquisition, integration and restructuring costs related to the completion of the Merger, including professional services costs, personnel and other costs, and long-lived assets charges and termination fees. Professional services costs are primarily comprised of IT and other consulting services, as well as legal expenses. Personnel and other costs are primarily comprised of costs related to retention and other bonuses, severance and duplicative labor costs. Long-lived assets charges and termination fees include accelerated depreciation and amortization expense of $5.1 million and $5.5 million recorded during the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, due to changes in asset useful lives in conjunction with the consolidation of certain IT systems, along with $10.4 million and $17.0 million recorded during the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, respectively for termination fees related to certain IT systems.

In July 2023, we offered a voluntary severance program ("VSP") to certain co-workers in the U.S. as part of our cost optimization efforts related to the Merger. We incurred $2.9 million and $10.1 million of costs in connection with the VSP during the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, including $2.0 million and $8.0 million of severance costs and $0.9 million and $2.1 million of duplicative labor costs, respectively.

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, acquisition and integration expenses related to the Merger were composed of the following:

---

---

Amounts recorded in interest expense and finance charges, net, consist primarily of interest expense paid on our Senior Notes, our lines of credit, our accounts receivable securitization facility and our term loans, and fees associated with the sale of accounts receivable, partially offset by income earned on our cash investments.

*Three Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024* 

Interest expense and finance charges, net increased, primarily driven by an increase in short-term borrowings to fund working capital requirements, partially offset by decreased costs associated with the sale of accounts receivable due to lower related discount fees. Accounts receivable discount fees for these programs totaled $13.5 million and $16.6 million in the three months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024* 

Interest expense and finance charges, net increased, primarily driven by an increase in short-term borrowings to fund working capital requirements along with higher average interest rates on our Senior Notes, partially offset by decreased costs associated with the sale of accounts receivable due to lower related discount fees. Accounts receivable discount fees for these programs totaled $25.5 million and $32.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Amounts recorded as other expense, net include foreign currency transaction gains and losses on certain financing transactions and the related derivative instruments used to hedge such financing transactions, the cost of hedging, investment gains and losses, and other non-operating gains and losses, such as settlements received from class action lawsuits.

*Three and Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024* 

Other expense, net decreased primarily due to decreased hedging costs.

Income taxes consist of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate.

*Three Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024* 

Income tax expense increased primarily due to higher income during the period and a slightly higher effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was higher primarily due to a favorable discrete item recorded during the prior year, net of the relative mix of earnings within the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate.

*Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024* 

Income tax expense increased, primarily due to higher income during the period, partially offset by a slightly lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was lower primarily due to the relative mix of earnings within the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate.

***Cash Flows***

Our business is working capital intensive. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventory. We rely heavily on term loans, sales of accounts receivable, our securitization program, our revolver programs and net trade credit from vendors for our working capital needs. We have financed our growth and cash needs to date primarily through cash generated from operations and financing activities. As a general rule, when sales volumes are increasing, our net investment in working capital dollars typically increases, which generally results in decreased cash flow generated from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volumes decrease, our net investment in working capital dollars typically decreases, which generally results in increases in cash flows generated from operating activities.

We calculate CCC as days of the last fiscal quarter's revenue outstanding in accounts receivable plus days of supply on hand in inventory, less days of the last fiscal quarter's cost of revenue outstanding in accounts payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• CCC was 23 days as of May 31, 2025, and 18 and 23 days as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• CCC increased as compared to November 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in DIO due to higher inventories related to strategic technologies products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• CCC was consistent compared to May 31, 2024, with an increase in DPO due to timing of cash payments offsetting the impacts of an increase in DIO due to higher inventories related to strategic technologies products and a slight increase in DSO.

**<u>[Table of contents](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_7)</u>**

To increase our market share and better serve our customers, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. We expect that any such expansions would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by our existing cash and cash equivalents, additional borrowings, or the issuance of securities.

*Operating Activities - Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024* 

Net cash used in operating activities was $174.8 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $270.0 million. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a larger decrease in accounts receivable during the six months ended May 31, 2024, compared to current year activity, related to the timing of cash receipts. This impact was partially offset by a decrease in other accrued liabilities during the six months ended May 31, 2024.

*Investing Activities - Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024* 

Net cash used in investing activities was $71.1 million and $100.8 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for acquisition of businesses, which was $4.5 million paid compared to $26.2 million paid, along with a slight decrease in capital expenditures.

*Financing Activities - Six Months Ended May 31, 2025 versus May 31, 2024* 

Net cash used in financing activities was $126.6 million and $17.5 million, respectively. The increase in net cash used in financing activities is primarily due to decreased borrowings of $326.1 million, partially offset by a net decrease in payments for share repurchases and dividends of $199.8 million.

We believe our current cash balances, cash flows from operations and credit availability are sufficient to support our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

***Capital Resources***

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $767.1 million and $1.1 billion as of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents held by international subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the U.S. Repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws. If in the future we repatriate foreign cash back to the U.S., we will report in our Consolidated Financial Statements the impact of state and withholding taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation. Presently, we believe we have sufficient resources, cash flow and liquidity within the U.S. to fund current and expected future working capital, investment and other general corporate funding requirements.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flows from operations and our existing sources of liquidity, including available capacity under our borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months in all geographies. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures, anticipated stock repurchases, dividend payments and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financial market activities.

*Credit Facilities and Borrowings*

In the U.S., we have an accounts receivable securitization program to provide additional capital for our operations (the "U.S. AR Arrangement"). Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, we and our subsidiaries that are party to the U.S. AR Arrangement can borrow up to a maximum of $1.5 billion based upon eligible trade accounts receivable. The U.S. AR Arrangement, as amended, has a maturity date of November 2026. We also have an amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of April 16, 2024 (as amended, the "TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which we received commitments for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion, which revolving credit facility (the "TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility") may, at our request but subject to the lenders' discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $500.0 million. Our borrowings on these facilities vary within the period primarily based on changes in our working capital. There were no amounts outstanding under the U.S. AR Arrangement at May 31, 2025 or November 30, 2024. There was $150.0 million outstanding under the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility at May 31, 2025 at an interest rate of 5.61%. There were no amounts outstanding on the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility at November 30, 2024. As amended, the TD SYNNEX Revolving Credit Facility will mature on April 16, 2029, subject, in the lender's discretion, to two one-year extensions upon our prior notice to the lenders.

------

**<u>[Table of contents](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_7)</u>**

The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement also includes a $1.5 billion term loan facility (the "TD SYNNEX Term Loan") that has a maturity date of September 1, 2026. There was $581.3 million outstanding on the TD SYNNEX Term Loan as of both May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024.

On April 19, 2024, we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "2024 Term Loan Credit Agreement") which provides for a senior unsecured term loan in the amount of $750.0 million (the "2024 Term Loan"). The proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan were used to repay a portion of the TD SYNNEX Term Loan. The 2024 Term Loan will mature on September 1, 2027.

We have various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions, short-term loans, term loans, credit facilities and book overdraft facilities, totaling approximately $616.8 million in borrowing capacity as of May 31, 2025. Our borrowings on these facilities vary within the period primarily based on changes in our working capital. There was $232.4 million outstanding on these facilities at May 31, 2025, at a weighted average interest rate of 8.87%, and there was $171.1 million outstanding on these facilities at November 30, 2024, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.91%.

Historically, we have renewed our accounts receivable securitization program and our parent company credit facilities on, or prior to, their respective expiration dates. We have no reason to believe that these and other arrangements will not be renewed or replaced as we continue to be in good credit standing with the participating financial institutions. We have had similar borrowing arrangements with various financial institutions throughout our years as a public company.

We had total outstanding borrowings of approximately $4.1 billion and $3.9 billion as of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively. Our outstanding borrowings include Senior Notes of $2.4 billion as of both May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, and term loans described above as the TD SYNNEX Term Loan and 2024 Term Loan of approximately $1.3 billion as of both May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024. For additional information on our borrowings, see <u>[Note 10](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_82)</u> – Borrowings to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

*Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreements*

We have uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreements under which trade accounts receivable owed by certain customers may be acquired, without recourse, by certain financial institutions. Available capacity under these programs is dependent upon the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions' willingness to purchase such receivables. In addition, certain of these programs also require that we continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. At May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, we had a total of $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, of trade accounts receivable sold to and held by financial institutions under these programs. Discount fees for these programs totaled $13.5 million and $25.5 million in the three and six months ended May 31, 2025, respectively and $16.6 million and $32.6 million in the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, respectively.

*Share Repurchase Program*

In January 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a three-year $1.0 billion share repurchase program. In March 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a new $2.0 billion share repurchase program, supplementing the amount remaining under the prior program, pursuant to which we may repurchase our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The March 2024 share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date. We repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock for $148.8 million and 2.1 million shares for $249.3 million in the three and six months ended May 31, 2025, respectively and 2.3 million shares for $254.2 million and 4.2 million shares for $453.4 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, respectively. As of May 31, 2025, we had $1.5 billion available for future repurchases of our common stock. For additional information on our share repurchase program, see <u>[Note 5](#id68e48cbd56e42039fd93152151ccb67_52)</u> – Stockholders' Equity to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

***Covenant Compliance***

Our credit facilities have a number of covenants and restrictions that require us to maintain specified financial ratios. They also limit our (or our subsidiaries', as applicable) ability to incur additional debt or liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of our business, and merge or consolidate. As of May 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all material financial covenants for the above arrangements.

**ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with management's evaluation during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION**

**OF SYNNEX CORPORATION**

SYNNEX Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby certifies as follows:

FIRST: The name of the corporation is SYNNEX Corporation.

SECOND: The original Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 4, 2003 under the name "SYNNEX Corp." A Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed on October 27, 2003. A certificate of Merger whereby SYNNEX Information Technologies, Inc., a California corporation, was merged with and into the corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 28, 2003. A certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 12, 2003.

THIRD: Pursuant to Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation restates, integrates and further amends the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.

FOURTH: The Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation shall be amended and restated to read in full as follows:

ARTICLE I

The name of the corporation is SYNNEX Corporation (the "Corporation").

ARTICLE II

The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporate Trust Company.

ARTICLE III

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

ARTICLE IV

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. <u>Classes of Stock</u>. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is one hundred five million (105,000,000), of which one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of the par value of $0.001 each shall be Common Stock (the "Common Stock") and five million (5,000,000) shares of the par value of $0.001 each shall be Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, without a vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such Preferred Stock holders is required pursuant to the provisions established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such Preferred Stock, and if such holders of such Preferred Stock are so entitled to vote thereon, then, except as may otherwise be set forth in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the only stockholder approval required shall be the

------

affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock so entitled to vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. <u>Preferred Stock</u>. The Preferred Stock may be issued in any number of series, as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to provide for the issue, in one or more series, of all or any of the remaining shares of Preferred Stock and, in the resolution or resolutions providing for such issue, to establish for each such series the number of its shares, the voting powers, full or limited, of the shares of such series, or that such shares shall have no voting powers, and the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized (unless forbidden in the resolution or resolutions providing for such issue) to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of the series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series. In case the number of shares of any such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Common Stock</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Relative Rights of Preferred Stock and Common Stock</u>. All preferences, voting powers, relative, participating, optional or other special rights and privileges, and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the Common Stock are expressly made subject and subordinate to those that may be fixed with respect to any shares of the Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Voting Rights</u>. Except as otherwise required by law or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of Common Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share of stock held by such holder of record on the books of the Corporation for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Dividends</u>. Subject to the preferential rights of the Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation which are by law available therefor, dividends payable either in cash, in property or in shares of capital stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up</u>. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled, unless otherwise provided by law or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them respectively.

ARTICLE V

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the by-laws of the Corporation shall so provide.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The books of the Corporation may be kept at such place within or without the State of Delaware as the by-laws of the Corporation may provide or as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.

------

ARTICLE VI

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. <u>Power of Stockholder to Act by Written Consen</u>t. No action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. <u>Special Meetings of Stockholders</u>. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, only at the request of the Chairman of the Board or by a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Cumulative Voting</u>. The stockholders of the Corporation shall not have cumulative voting.

ARTICLE VII

The Corporation elects not to be, and shall not be, governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any of the restrictions contained therein.

ARTICLE VIII

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. <u>Limitation on Liability</u>. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

If the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter is amended to further eliminate or limit the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended Delaware General Corporation Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. <u>Indemnification</u>. Each person who is or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in the second paragraph hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding

------

(or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation for any expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

If a claim under the first paragraph of this section is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Insurance</u>. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

------

law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Corporation, its stockholders, and others.

ARTICLE IX

The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation; provided, however, that any adoption, amendment or repeal of the by-laws of the Corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any resolution providing for adoption, amendment or repeal is presented to the Board of Directors). The stockholders shall also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation, provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for such adoption, amendment or repeal by the stockholders of any provisions of the by-laws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE X

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend in any respect or repeal this Article X, or Articles V, VI, VIII and IX.

FIFTH: This Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

SIXTH: This Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by the stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Written consent of the stockholders has been given with respect to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and written notice has been given as provided in Section 228.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, SYNNEX Corporation has caused this certificate to be signed by its President and Secretary this 1st day of December, 2003.

To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, the Delaware General Corporation Law), each Identified Person (i) shall have the right to, directly or indirectly, engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of every type and description, including those engaged in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or deemed to be competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, whether on its own account or as a partner, equity holder, controlling person, stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate (including any portfolio company), member, financing source, investor, manager, or assignee of any other person or entity, with no obligation to offer to the Corporation or its subsidiaries or other Affiliates the right to participate therein and (ii) shall have the right to invest in, or provide services to, any person that is engaged in the same or similar business activities as the Corporation or its Affiliates or that directly or indirectly competes with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

SECOND: The amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as set forth below have been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by the directors and stockholders of the Corporation.

THIRD: Article VIII of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation as presently in effect is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"A. <u>Limitation on Liability</u>. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended (including, but not limited to, Section 102(b)(7) thereof), a director or officer of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) for a director under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; (4) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; or (5) for an officer, in any action by or in the right of the corporation.

If the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter is amended to further eliminate or limit the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended Delaware General Corporation Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. <u>Indemnification</u>. Each person who is or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably

------

incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in the second paragraph hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation for any expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

If a claim under the first paragraph of this section is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Insurance</u>. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

------

FOURTH: Article IX of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation as presently in effect is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation by the vote of at least a majority of the directors of the Corporation then in office. The stockholders shall also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation, provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for such adoption, amendment or repeal by the stockholders of any provisions of the by-laws of the Corporation."

FIFTH: Article X and Article XI are hereby eliminated in their entirety.

SIXTH: All other provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate to be signed by its Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary this 4th day of April, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Advances</u>. (i) From and after the Effective Date and until the Facility Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender (other than the Discretionary Lenders) severally agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of advances (each such advance hereunder, an "<u>Advance</u>") to the Borrower from time to time, subject to <u>Section 2.01(c)</u>. The Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances shall not at any time exceed the Facility Limit and the Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances made by each Lender shall not exceed such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Facility Limit. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances made by each Lender Group shall not exceed the aggregate Pro Rata Share (of the Committed Lenders in such Lender Group) of the Facility Limit. Except to the extent provided in <u>Section</u> <u>2.06(c)</u>, no Lender shall make any Advances if, after giving effect thereto, a Funding Excess would exist. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender that makes a request therefor, a note to evidence the Advances which may be made hereunder from time to time by such Lender. Each such note shall be (x) in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Facility Limit of the applicable Lender (or, in the case of a Discretionary Lender, in the principal amount of the aggregate Pro Rata Share (of the Committed Lenders in such Discretionary Lender's Lender Group) of the Facility Limit), (y) dated as of the date of issuance thereof, and (z) substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit</u> 

------

<u>2.01(a)(ii)</u> (each, a "<u>Revolving Note</u>"). Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Lender's portion of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount made to the Borrower, together with interest thereon as prescribed in <u>Section 2.06</u>. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Facility Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Reserved</u>.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Related Document to the contrary, no Discretionary Lender shall have any commitment hereunder and may fund Advances hereunder solely in its own discretion. If a Discretionary Lender does not elect to fund an Advance, the related Committed Lenders in such Discretionary Lender's Lender Group shall fund in its stead subject to the conditions set forth herein. While it is the intent of each Discretionary Lender to fund each requested Advance through the issuance of Commercial Paper, the parties acknowledge that if any such Discretionary Lender is unable, or determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper to fund all or any portion of the Advances, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof, such Discretionary Lender may put all or any portion of its Advances to its Program Support Providers at any time pursuant to the Program Support Agreement or to its Committed Lenders pursuant to <u>Article XIII</u>.

Section 2.02.<u>Optional Changes in Facility Limit</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Partial Reduction of Facility Limit</u>. So long as no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, not more than twice during each calendar year, permanently reduce in part the Facility Limit; *provided* that (i) the Borrower shall give ten Business Days' prior written notice of any such reduction to the Administrative Agent addressed to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each Managing Agent) substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.02(a)</u> (each such notice, a "<u>Facility Limit Reduction Notice</u>"), (ii) any such partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and (iii) no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit below the greater of (x) the Outstanding Principal Amount at such time and (y) $1,000,000,000. Any such partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall result in a reduction in each Committed Lender's Commitment in an amount equal to such Committed Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment is being reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such reduction at any time that an Accordion Commitment is in effect shall be deemed to <u>first</u>, temporarily reduce the Accordion Facility Limit then in effect by reducing the Accordion Commitment of each Lender Group with an Accordion Commitment in an amount equal to such Lender Group's Accordion Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Accordion Facility Limit is being reduced until such Accordion Facility Limit equals $0 and <u>second</u>, permanently reduce the Non-Accordion Facility Limit then in effect by reducing each Committed Lender's Commitment in accordance with this <u>clause (a)</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Facility Termination</u>. The Borrower may, at any time, on at least 30 days' prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent addressed to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a

------

copy thereof to each Managing Agent), terminate the facility provided in this <u>Article II</u> by irrevocably reducing the Facility Limit to zero; *provided* that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.02(b)</u> (the "<u>Facility Termination Notice</u>"), (ii) the Borrower shall reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of Advances to zero, and make all payments required by <u>Section</u> <u>2.03(h)</u> at the time and in the manner specified therein and (iii) the Borrower shall pay any amounts owed under <u>Section 2.02(d)</u> in connection therewith. Upon such termination, the Borrower's right to request that any Lender make Advances hereunder shall in each case simultaneously terminate and the Facility Termination Date shall automatically occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Increases to Facility Limit</u>. (i) So long as no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, once per quarter, during any calendar quarter of each year request that one or more Lender Groups increase their respective Commitments then in effect; *provided* that (A) the Borrower shall submit such request to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each Managing Agent) of the Lender Group being requested to increase its Commitment substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.02(c)(i)</u> (each such request, a "<u>Facility</u> <u>Limit Increase Request</u>"), (B) each Facility Limit Increase Request shall specify (1) the date on which the Borrower requests an increase to the Facility Limit of each applicable Lender Group, which date may not be earlier than ten Business Days from the date each Facility Limit Increase Request is delivered to the Administrative Agent and addressed to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Managing Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each Managing Agent) (each such date, a "<u>Facility Limit Increase Date</u>"), (2) the amount of any such increase of the Facility Limit, which shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and (3) the name of each Lender Group to which such request is being made, *provided* that if the requested increase is greater than $25,000,000, the request shall be deemed to have been made to each Lender Group ratably according to each Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Non-Accordion Facility Limit; *provided further* that no Lender Group shall be offered a $25,000,000 increase more than once in any three consecutive quarters during which such an increase is requested unless each other Managing Agent (on behalf of each other related Lender Group) has refused to consent to such Facility Limit Increase Request and (C) after giving effect to any such increase, the Facility Limit shall not exceed the sum of (1) the Non-Accordion Facility Limit then in effect and (2) $150,000,000, without the prior written consent of all Managing Agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Each Managing Agent (on behalf of its related Lender Group) shall, in its sole discretion, make a determination whether or not to grant any request to increase its Lender Group's Commitment under this <u>clause (c)</u> and shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such determination on or before the requested Facility Limit Increase Date; *provided* that if any Managing Agent fails to so notify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders in its Lender Group shall be deemed to have refused to consent to such Facility Limit Increase 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)The Borrower's request for the increases in the respective Commitments of the Lender Groups shall be ratable with respect to each such Lender Group (according to the then existing Commitments of all such Lender Groups) in respect of any Facility Limit Increase Request greater than $25,000,000, and if Lender Groups holding less than 100% of the aggregate Commitments of all Lender Groups consent to such increase in their respective Commitment, the Borrower may request further

------

increases in the Commitments of the Lender Groups who have consented (any such Lender Group, an "<u>Increasing Lender Group</u>") (by written notice to the Managing Agents for the Increasing Lender Groups), on a ratable basis (based on the then existing Commitments of all such Increasing Lender Groups), unless otherwise consented to in writing by all of the Managing Agents for such Increasing Lender Groups and at the sole discretion of the Managing Agents for each such Increasing Lender Group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) to the extent that the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances is at any time equal to or less than the Non-Accordion Facility Limit, all Advances shall be made during such time ratably according to each Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Non-Accordion Facility Limit prior to giving effect to any increases under this <u>clause (c)</u> and (B) so long as the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances is greater than the Non-Accordion Facility Limit, all Advances with respect to the Accordion Facility Limit shall be made ratably according to each Lender's Accordion Pro Rata Share of the Accordion Facility Limit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)On any date of determination, if the aggregate Accordion Advanced Amount is greater than zero after giving effect to any reduction pursuant to <u>clause (a)</u>, the Borrower shall immediately pay to each Managing Agent of an Increasing Lender Group, for the benefit of the related Lenders, an amount to be applied to reduce such Lender's Accordion Advanced Amount (ratably, according to each such Lender's Accordion Advanced Amount), such that after giving effect to such payment, the aggregate Accordion Advanced Amount does not exceed the Accordion Facility Limit then in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)The Borrower's request for the increases with respect to Commitments of any single Lender Group in respect of any Facility Limit Increase Request for $25,000,000 shall be a *non-pro rata* increase to the Commitment of such Lender Group if such Lender Group consents to such 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)The Accordion Facility Limit may be increased in accordance with this <u>clause (c)</u> and subsequently reduced in accordance with <u>clause (a)</u> above, in each case, subject to the minimum and maximum amounts, timeframes and limits set forth herein and therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)The Borrower shall (and shall cause the Servicer to) deliver all documents, instruments, reports, opinions and agreements as the Administrative Agent and any Managing Agent may reasonably request in connection with making a determination as to whether or not to grant any request under this <u>clause (c)</u>, including, on or prior to the effectiveness of any increase pursuant to this <u>clause (c)</u>, a confirmation regarding such increase for each Increasing Lender Group, substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.02(c)(viii)</u> (each, an "<u>Accordion Confirmation</u>") and executed by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agent for each such Increasing Lender Group, an executed copy of which shall be circulated to each Managing Agent by the Administrative Agent.

Each Facility Termination Notice or Facility Limit Reduction Notice shall specify, respectively, the amount of, or the amount of the proposed reduction in, the Facility Limit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>(e)</u><u>Increase in Non-Accordion Facility Limit.</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;&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)So long as no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may request that one or more Lender Groups increase their respective Commitments then in effect; *provided* that (A) the Borrower shall submit such request to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent of the Lender Group being requested to increase its Commitment and such request shall specify (1) the date on which the Borrower requests an increase to the Non-Accordion Facility Limit of each applicable Lender Group, which date may not be earlier than ten Business Days from the date such request is delivered to the applicable Managing Agent, (2) the amount of any such increase of the Non-Accordion Facility Limit and (3) the name of each Lender Group to which such request is being made, and (B) after giving effect to any such increase, the Non-Accordion Facility Limit shall not exceed $2,500,000,000.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment and no Lender's Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.

Upon the effectiveness of any increase pursuant to this <u>clause (e)</u>, the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Advances hereunder such that, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of each Lender's share of outstanding Advances to its share of Commitments will be such Lender's Pro Rata Share (after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this <u>clause (e)</u>). In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Advances, (x) the Administrative Agent will give advance

notice to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (y) the applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Advances being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Advances. In connection with such repayment made with respect to such reallocation (to the extent such repayment is required), the Borrower shall pay all interest due on the amount repaid to the date of repayment on the immediately following Settlement Date.

Section 2.03.<u>Procedures for Making Advances</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Borrowing Requests</u>. Except as provided in <u>Section 2.06(c)</u>, each Borrowing shall be made upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent in the manner provided herein. Any such notice must be in writing and received no later than (i) if the amount of the requested Borrowing does not exceed $500,000,000, 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Advance Date set forth therein (such Borrowing, a "<u>Same-Day Borrowing</u>") or (ii) otherwise, 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the Business Day of the proposed Advance Date set forth therein. Each such notice (a "<u>Borrowing Request</u>") shall (i) be substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.03(a)</u>, (ii) be irrevocable and (iii) specify the amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess of $1,000,000) and the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day), and shall include such other information as may be required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. No more than one Borrowing Request shall be permitted to be outstanding at any time for a Same-Day Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower, and the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of any Conduit Lender, through a Program Support Agreement) as a result of any failure by the Borrower to complete such borrowing, including any loss (including loss of profit) or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of any Conduit Lender, pursuant to a Program Support Agreement) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender (or the applicable Program Support 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Advances; Payments</u>. The applicable Lenders shall make the amount of such applicable Advance available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Agent Account not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Advance Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion in accordance with <u>Section 2.03(c)</u>, before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower by deposit into the Borrower Account on the Advance Date therefor, the amount of the requested Borrowing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Availability of Lenders' Advances</u>. The Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing of Advances available to the Administrative Agent on each Advance Date. If and to the extent the Administrative Agent has made available to the Borrower such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any such Borrowing but such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender when due,

------

then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand an amount equal to the sum of (x) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, Adjusted SMIR plus the rate used to compute the Program Fee, <u>plus</u> (y) any additional charges, costs or expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, including any internally assessed charges, costs or expenses. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute principal of such Lender's Advance. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute repayment in full of such amount in lieu of any and all other interest or fees that would have been due thereon had such Lender not failed to pay such amount or make available its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. Nothing in this <u>Section 2.03(c)</u> or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Related Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to take any action that would prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Any such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Return of Payments</u>. (i) If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)If at any time any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Related Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Non-Funding Lenders</u>. The failure of any Lender (each such Lender, a "<u>Non-Funding Lender</u>") to make any Advance required to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an "<u>Other Lender</u>") of its obligations to make the Advance required to be made by it, but neither any Other Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance to be made by such Non-Funding Lender.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.01.<u>Representations and Warranties of the Borrower</u>. To induce each Lender to make Advances from time to time and the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent to take any action required to be performed by it hereunder, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to each Lender, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date, on each Settlement Date, on the date of each Release and on each Advance Date, each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Existence; Compliance with Law</u>. The Borrower (i) is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, is a "registered organization" as defined in the UCC of such jurisdiction and is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction; (ii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified (except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect); (iii) has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to own, pledge, mortgage, operate and convey all of its properties, to lease the property it operates under lease, and to conduct its business as now or proposed to be conducted, and to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Related Documents to which it is a party and to perform the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (iv) has all licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, and has made all filings with, and has given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership, operation and conduct (except where the failure to have such licenses, permits, consents or approvals or make such filings or give such notices would not have a Material Adverse Effect); (v) is in compliance with its certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement and other organizational documents; and (vi) is in compliance with all applicable provisions of law (except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Executive Offices; Collateral Locations; Corporate or Other Names; FEIN</u>. The state of organization and the organization identification number of the Borrower and current location of the Borrower's executive office, principal place of business, other offices, the premises within which any Borrower Collateral is stored or located are set forth in <u>Schedule 4.01(b)</u> and except as set forth in <u>Schedule 4.01(b)</u>, such locations have not changed during the preceding twelve months. In addition, <u>Schedule 4.01(b)</u> lists the federal employer identification number of the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Power, Authorization, Enforceable Obligations</u>. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party, and the creation and perfection of all Liens and ownership interests provided for herein and therein: (i) are within the Borrower's limited liability company power; (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or other actions; (iii) do not contravene any provision of the Borrower's certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement; (iv) do not violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority in any material respect; (v) do not contravene, or cause Borrower or any Originator to be in default under, any contractual restriction contained in any indenture, loan or

credit agreement, lease, mortgage, security agreement, bond, note or other agreement or instrument binding on or affecting Borrower or such Originator or its property; (vi) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the property of the Borrower or any Originator; and (vii) except where the failure to obtain or make such consent or approval could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which have been duly obtained, made or complied with prior to the Effective Date as provided in <u>Section 3.01(b)</u>. The exercise by each of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies under any Related Document to which it is a party do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which will have been duly obtained, made or complied with prior to the Closing Date as provided in <u>Section 3.01(b)</u>. Each of the Related Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each such Related Document shall then constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to (A) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally and (B) general equitable principles, whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>No Litigation</u>. No Litigation is now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower before any Governmental Authority which (i) challenges the Borrower's right, power or competence to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Related Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Related Document or any action taken thereunder, (ii) seeks to prevent the transfer, sale, pledge or contribution of any Receivable (other than Excluded Receivables) or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Related Documents, or (iii) is reasonably likely to be adversely determined and, if adversely determined, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Borrower, there does not exist a state of facts which is reasonably likely to give rise to such proceedings. Borrower is not a party to any consent decree.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Solvency</u>.

Since the date of the Borrower's organization, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred with respect to the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Ownership of Property; Liens</u>. None of the properties and assets (including the Transferred Receivables) of the Borrower are subject to any Adverse Claims other than Permitted Encumbrances not attaching to Transferred Receivables, and there are no facts, circumstances or conditions known to the Borrower that may result in (i) with respect to the Transferred Receivables, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) and (ii) with respect to its other properties and assets, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Borrower has received all assignments, bills of sale and other documents, and has duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions necessary to establish, protect and perfect the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Receivables and its other

------

properties and assets. No effective financing statement or other similar instrument are of record in any filing office listing the Borrower or any Originator as debtor and covering any of the Transferred Receivables or the other Borrower Collateral, and the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to <u>Section 7.01</u> are and will be at all times fully perfected first priority Liens in and to the Borrower Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Ventures, Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Outstanding Equity Interest and</u> <u>Indebtedness</u>. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries, and is not engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person or has any equity interest in any other Person. The Borrower has no Investments in any Person. The Parent owns all Equity Interests of the Borrower. There are no outstanding rights to purchase stock, membership interests, options, warrants or similar rights, agreements or plans pursuant to which the Borrower may be required to issue, sell, or purchase any Stock or other equity security. Other than as permitted pursuant to <u>Section 5.03(i)</u>, the Borrower has no outstanding Debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Taxes</u>. The Borrower has filed all United States federal and all other material Tax returns and reports required to be filed, and has paid all United States federal and state income Taxes and other Taxes levied or imposed upon it or its properties, income or assets shown on such Tax returns to be due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)<u>Full Disclosure</u>. No written information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any other written statement or information (other than any financial projections, other forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement, the Transferred Receivables or any of the other Related Documents, taken as a whole contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, when taken as a whole, not materially misleading solely at the time furnished.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)<u>ERISA</u>. During the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, no steps have been taken that would reasonably be expected to result in the termination of any Pension Plan of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower, and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Lien under section 303(k) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower which would reasonably be expected to result in the Borrower incurring any material liability, fine or penalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)<u>Brokers</u>. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Borrower was employed or utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents or the

------

transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Borrower has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder's or brokerage fees in connection 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)<u>Margin Regulations</u>. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin security," as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as "<u>Margin Stock</u>"). The Borrower owns no Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Advances made hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. The Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Related Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)<u>Nonapplicability of Bulk Sales Laws</u>. No transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Related Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar 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;(o)<u>Government Regulation</u>. The Borrower (i) is not a "covered fund" under the Volcker Rule and (ii) is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as, an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act or any successor statute. In determining that the Borrower is not a covered fund, the Borrower is entitled to rely on the exemption from the definition of "investment company" set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act. The making of Advances by the Lenders hereunder, the application of the proceeds thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents will not violate any provision of any such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p)<u>Nonconsolidation</u>. The Borrower is operated in such a manner that the separate corporate existence of the Borrower, on the one hand, and any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, would not be disregarded in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any member of the Parent Group and, 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Borrower is a limited liability company whose activities are restricted in its formation documents or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, to those activities expressly permitted hereunder and under the other Related Documents and the Borrower has not engaged, and does not presently engage, in any business or other activity other than those activities expressly permitted hereunder and under the other Related Documents, nor has the Borrower entered into any agreement other than this Agreement, the other Related Documents to which it is a party and, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders, any other agreement necessary to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof or thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)the Borrower has duly appointed a board of directors and its business is managed solely by its own officers and directors, each of whom when acting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)other than the purchase and acceptance through capital contribution of Transferred Receivables pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the acceptance of Subordinated Loans pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the payment of distributions and the return of capital to the Parent, the payment of Servicing Fees to the Servicer under the Sale Agreement and the transactions contemplated under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Borrower engages and has engaged in no intercorporate transactions with any member of the Parent Group;

Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Borrower Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Originator, the Borrower, any Person claiming any right in the Borrower Collateral sold through any Originator or the Borrower, and their respective successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall deposit the net proceeds of any such sale in the Agent Account and such proceeds shall be applied against all or any part of the Borrower 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Upon the completion of any sale under <u>Section 9.01(b)</u>, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date thereof, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impracticable to make immediate delivery, all of the Borrower Collateral sold on such date, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall vest in such purchaser or purchasers upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any such purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)At any sale under <u>Section 9.01(b)</u>, any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Administrative Agent may (but in no event shall be obligated to) exercise, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Borrower Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the occurrence of any

------

Event of Servicer Termination, have the right to name any Successor Servicer (including itself) pursuant to Article VIII of the Sale Agreement.

Section 9.02. <u>Exercise of Remedies</u>. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between any Originator, the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 9.03. <u>Power of Attorney</u>. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 9.03</u> (a "<u>Power</u> <u>of Attorney</u>"). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Liens of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) upon and interests in the Borrower Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Administrative Agent's officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Borrower, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person for any act or failure to act, except to the extent of damages attributable to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent covenants and agrees not to use the Power of Attorney except following a Termination Event and prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date.

Section 9.04. <u>Continuing Security Interest</u>. This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien in the Borrower Collateral until the date such security interest is released by the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE XI.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.01. <u>Appointment and Authorization</u>. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent and its applicable Managing Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Related Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as applicable, by the

------

terms of this Agreement and any other Related Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Related Document, no Administrative Agent or Managing Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Related Document or otherwise exist against any Administrative Agent or Managing Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to any Administrative Agent or Managing 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 merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 11.02. <u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Related Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

Section 11.03. <u>Liability of Administrative Agent and Managing Agents</u>. No Agent- Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Secured Party for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower, any Originator, the Parent or the Servicer, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Related Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Related Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Related Document, or for any failure of the Borrower, any Originator, the Parent, the Servicer or any other party to any Related Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Related Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, any Originator, the Parent, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 11.04. <u>Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents</u>. (a) The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower, any Originator, the Parent and the Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent.

------

The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Related Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Managing Agents or the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Related Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Managing Agents or the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable, or, if required hereunder, all Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in <u>Article III</u> on the Closing Date, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.

Section 11.05. <u>Notice of Termination Event, Incipient Termination Event, Event of</u> <u>Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event</u>. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Incipient Termination Event, Termination Event, Event of Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event, unless it has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Incipient Termination Event, Termination Event, Event of Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event" or "Notice of Incipient Servicer Termination Event or Event of Servicer Termination," as applicable. Each Managing Agent will notify the Lenders in its Lender Group of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall (subject to <u>Section 11.04</u>) take such action with respect to such event as may be requested by the Managing Agents (or its Lenders in its Lender Group); *provided* that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received any such request, the Administrative Agent (or Managing Agent) may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Secured Parties or Lenders, as applicable.

Section 11.06. <u>Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information</u>. Each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer, the Originators or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Secured Party as to any matter, including whether the Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Secured Party, including any Lender by assignment, represents to the Administrative Agent and its Managing Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the

------

Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer, each Originator or their respective Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Secured Party also represents that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Related Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer or the Originators. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Security Parties by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer, any Originator or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

Section 11.07. <u>Indemnification</u>. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Committed Lenders (or the Committed Lenders in the applicable Lender Group) shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts incurred by it; *provided* that no Committed Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Amounts resulting from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that no action taken by Administrative Agent (or any Managing Agent) in accordance with the directions of the Managing Agents (or the Lenders in its Lender Group) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this <u>Section 11.07</u>. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse its Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Related Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this <u>Section 11.07</u> shall survive payment on the Termination Date and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent.

Section 11.08. <u>Individual Capacity</u>. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent (and any successor thereto in such capacity) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any of the Borrower, the Parent, the Originators, the Servicer, or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates as though it were not the Administrative Agent, a Managing Agent or a Lender hereunder, as applicable, and without notice to or consent of the Secured Parties. The Secured Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any such Person or its Affiliates may

------

receive information regarding the Borrower, the Parent, the Originators, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Commitment, the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent (and any successor thereto in such capacity) in its capacity as a Committed Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Committed Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, a Managing Agent or a Committed Lender, as applicable, and the term "Committed Lender" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.09. <u>Resignation</u>. The Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days' notice to the applicable Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint, after consulting with the Parent, from among the Committed Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders at such time a successor agent for the Secured Parties. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor agent from among the Committed Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders at such time. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this <u>Section 11.09</u> and <u>Sections 11.03</u> and <u>11.07</u> shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Committed Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. If a Managing Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lenders in such Lender Group shall appoint a successor agent.

Section 11.10. <u>Payments by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents</u>. Unless specifically allocated to a Committed Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid to the applicable Managing Agent or Lenders pro rata in accordance with amounts then due on the Business Day received, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the applicable agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts not later than the following Business Day.

Section 11.11. <u>Setoff and Sharing of Payments</u>. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, each Lender and each holder of any Revolving Note is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived (but subject to <u>Section 2.03(b)(i)</u>), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at

------

any of its offices for the account of the Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Borrower Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender or holder of any Revolving Note exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Borrower Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender's or holder's Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Advances made or other Borrower Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set off, bankers' lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Advances, and the other Borrower Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

Section 11.12. <u>Erroneous Payments.</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a "<u>Payment Recipient</u>") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates 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 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 Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative 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 Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative 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;&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 clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), 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;&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 Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 11.12</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Related Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) 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;&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 Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "<u>Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency</u>"), upon the Administrative 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 (the "<u>Erroneous</u> <u>Payment Impacted Advance</u>") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not the Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Advance, the "<u>Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment</u>") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii)

------

upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment 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 Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its 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 Administrative Agent has sold an Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Related 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Unless otherwise subsequently agreed in writing by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Borrower Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Parties, 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 Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the proceeds of any financing or contribution incurred or obtained by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries). To the extent that Erroneous Payments are made with funds of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain all rights and remedies against the maker and recipients of such Erroneous Payment for return of such funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Administrative 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative 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 Borrower Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Related Document.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01. <u>Notices</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other parties, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any other parties any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three Business Days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by email of the signed notice in PDF form or facsimile (with such email or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this <u>Section 12.01</u>), (c) one Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number set forth below or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than any Lender, any Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent) designated in any written notice provided hereunder to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever it is provided herein that a notice is to be given to any other party hereto by a specific time, such notice shall only be effective if actually received by such party prior to such time, and if such notice is received after such time or on a day other than a Business Day, such notice shall only be effective on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

Section 12.02. <u>Binding Effect; Assignability</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Lender, each Managing Agent, each Administrator and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrower may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder or interests herein without the express prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the Borrower without the prior express written consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 hereby consents to any Lender's assignment or pledge of, and/or sale of participations in, at any time or times after the Effective Date of the Related Documents, Advances, and any Commitment or of any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender's rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder, whether evidenced by a writing or not, made in accordance with this <u>Section 12.02(b)</u>. Any assignment by a Lender shall (i) require the execution of an assignment agreement (an "<u>Assignment</u> <u>Agreement</u>") substantially in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 12.02(b)</u> or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and acknowledged by the Administrative

------

Agent, and the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and without limiting the foregoing right to not unreasonably withhold consent, may be withheld if the short-term unsecured debt rating of the proposed Lender is not at least "A-1" or the equivalent by S&P and "P-1" or the equivalent by Moody's at the time of such assignment); (ii) if a partial assignment, be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assigning Committed Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; (iii) not be to a Defaulting Lender in a different Lender Group and (iv) require the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the assignee or participant, as the case may be, of any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States tax withholding matters. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this <u>Section 12.02</u>, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment made in accordance with this <u>Section 12.02(b)</u> will give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall thereupon be a "Lender" for all purposes. In all instances, each Committed Lender's obligation to make Advances shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Committed Lender's Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of a Revolving Note, such Lender shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, upon the request of such Lender, execute new Revolving Notes in exchange for the Revolving Notes being assigned and the Administrative Agent shall record the assignment or other transfer in the Register. No assignment or transfer of a Revolving Note shall be effective unless such assignment or transfer is recorded in the Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>12.02(b)</u>, any Lender may, without consent from or notice to the Borrower or any other party hereto, at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of such Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central banking authority having jurisdiction over such Lender or to any holder or trustee of such Lender's securities; *provided* that no such pledge or assignment to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central banking authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, holder or trustee shall release such Lender from such Lender's obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document and no such holder or trustee shall be entitled to enforce any rights of such Lender hereunder unless such holder or trustee becomes a Lender hereunder through execution of an Assignment Agreement as set forth above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 addition to the foregoing right, without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (x) any Lender may assign to any of its Affiliates and any Discretionary Lender may assign to a Committed Lender or to a Program Support Provider all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under the Related Documents, including a sale of any Advances or other Borrower Obligations hereunder and such Lender's right to receive payment with respect to any such Borrower Obligation; *provided* that no Committed Lender may make any such assignment pursuant to this <u>Section 12.02(c)</u> to any of its Affiliates that is an asset- backed commercial paper conduit that is not a party to this Agreement in the capacity of a Lender and (y) any Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Related Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Advances); *provided* that (A) no such participant shall have a commitment, or

------

be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Advances hereunder, and none shall be liable to any Person for any obligations of such Lender hereunder (it being understood that nothing in this <u>Section 12.02(c)</u> shall limit any rights the Lender may have as against such participant under the terms of the applicable option, sale or participation agreement between or among such parties); and (B) no holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Advance in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Advance in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Related Documents). Solely for purposes of <u>Sections 2.08</u>, <u>2.09</u>, <u>2.10</u>, and <u>9.01</u>, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such sale or participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the participant and each such participant shall be considered to be a "Lender" for purposes of such sections. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Lender's rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the other Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent towards such Lender under any Related Document shall remain unchanged and none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with the assigning or selling Lender as if no such assignment or sale had occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Without limiting the foregoing, a Conduit Lender may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to the Borrower, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of its interest in the Advances and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Related Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee; *provided* that (i) if the ratings of the Commercial Paper of such Conduit Assignee are not at least equal to the ratings of such Conduit Lender, then Borrower consent shall be required, and (ii) such assignment complies with <u>Section 12.02(b)</u> (other than not requiring the consent of the Borrower). Upon and to the extent of such assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of such interest, (ii) the related Administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Administrator for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Administrator hereunder or under the other Related Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee (and any related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) and their respective liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the Conduit Lender and its Program Support Provider(s) herein and in the other Related 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), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of the Conduit Lender's obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Related 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, (v) all distributions in respect of such interest in the Advances shall be made to the applicable Managing Agent or the related Administrator, as applicable, on behalf of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis

------

according to their respective interests, (vi) the definition of the term "CP Rate" with respect to the portion of the Advances 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 (or the related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) rather than the Conduit Lender, (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, (viii) the Conduit Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender already, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer, all applicable tax documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer and (ix) if requested by the related Managing Agent or the related Administrator with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the related Managing Agent or such Administrator may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of its interest in the Advances shall in any way diminish the related Committed Lenders' obligations under <u>Section 2.03</u> to fund any Advances not funded by the related Conduit Lender or such Conduit 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)In the event that a Conduit Lender makes an assignment to a Conduit Assignee in accordance with <u>clause (d)</u> above, the Related Committed Lenders: (i) if requested by the related Administrator, shall terminate their participation in the applicable Program Support Agreement to the extent of such assignment, (ii) if requested by the related Administrator, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by such Administrator) the program support 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 Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator and the Related Committed Lenders), (iii) if requested by the related Conduit Lender, shall enter into such agreements as requested by such Conduit Lender pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to the Conduit Assignee on substantially the same terms and conditions as is provided for in this Agreement in respect of such Conduit Lender (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Conduit Lender and the Committed Lenders), and (iv) shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in connection 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Except as expressly provided in this <u>Section 12.02</u>, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and that Lender, or between the Administrative Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of a participation in, all or any part of the Advances, the Revolving Notes or other Borrower Obligations owed to 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;(g)The Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this <u>Section 12.02</u> as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the participation of management in meetings with potential assignees or participants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, the Originators, the Servicer and/or the Receivables in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants). Each Lender shall obtain from all prospective and actual assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in <u>Section 12.05</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 Advances or other obligations under the Related Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); *provided* that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any of the Related Documents) 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Conduit Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including rights to payment of principal and interest on such Conduit Lender's Advances) to any Conduit Trustee without notice to or consent of the Borrower (and without entering into an Assignment Agreement); *provided*, that no such pledge or assignment to any Conduit Trustee shall release such Conduit Lender from such Conduit Lender's obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document or substitute any such Conduit Trustee for such Conduit Lender as a party hereto.

Section 12.03. <u>Termination; Survival of Borrower Obligations Upon Facility Termination Date</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by any Affected Party under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the

The failure by any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Related Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Related Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting Purchaser or Agent shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)As used in this <u>Section 12.19</u>, the following terms have the following meanings:

Section 12.21. <u>Rebalancing</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)As of the date hereof and prior to giving effect to this <u>Section 12.21</u>, the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Lender is set forth in <u>Part I</u> of <u>Schedule 12.21</u>.

EXTENSIONS AND RELACEMENT OF LENDERS

Section 13.01. <u>Extension of Final Advance Date; Non-Renewing Committed</u> <u>Lenders</u>. Not more than ninety (90) days or less than seventy-five (75) days prior to the then current Final Advance Date, the Borrower may request an extension thereof for an additional period not to exceed 364 days. Each Committed Lender will deliver to the Borrower at least sixty (60) days prior to the then current Final Advance Date a non-binding indication of whether it intends to consent to such extension. Any failure of a Committed Lender to respond by the sixtieth day preceding such Final Advance Date shall constitute a refusal to consent to such an extension. If at any time the Borrower requests that the Committed Lenders renew their Commitments hereunder and some but less than all the Committed Lenders consent to such renewal, the Borrower may arrange for an assignment, and such non-consenting Committed Lenders shall agree to assign, to one or more financial institutions acceptable to the related Conduit Lender and the Borrower of all the rights and obligations hereunder of each such non-consenting Committed Lender in accordance with this Agreement. Any such assignment shall become effective on the then-current Final Advance Date. Each Committed Lender which does not so consent to any renewal shall cooperate fully with the Borrower in effectuating any such assignment. If none or less than all the Commitments of the non-renewing Committed Lenders are so assigned as provided above, then the Final Advance Date shall not be extended.

Section 13.02. <u>Replacement of 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Affected Lender</u>. Following a demand by the Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent (whether on behalf of a Lender (an "<u>Affected Lender</u>"), its related Program Support Provider or any other Affected Party in such Affected Lender's Lender Group) for payment of any amounts under <u>Section 2.09</u>, the Borrower may elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement with an assignee Lender procured by the Borrower, *provided* that no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be

------

continuing at the time of such replacement; and *provided further* that, concurrently with such replacement, such assignee Lender shall agree to purchase for cash the Advances and all other rights of, and obligations due to, the Affected Lender hereunder pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date. Any such Affected Lender shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of <u>Section 12.02</u>. In the event that such an assignment occurs, the assignee Lender (i) if requested by the applicable Administrator, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by the Administrator) a Program Support 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 Affected Lender with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrator), it being understood that the assignee Lender shall not be required to execute a Program Support Agreement if its Lender Group does not include a Conduit Lender, and (ii) shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall reasonably request in connection therewith. For so long as the sum of the Commitments of any Affected Lenders under this <u>Section 13.02</u> is equal to or less than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, each such Affected Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign its rights and interests hereunder to any Person identified by the Borrower as a potential assignee Lender hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Replacement of Conduit Lenders</u>. If the average CP Rate with respect to any Conduit Lender over any three consecutive Interest Periods exceeds the average Funding Rate Index over the corresponding three consecutive Interest Periods by more than the greater of (A) 20.0% of the average Funding Rate Index over such three consecutive Interest Periods or (B) 0.20%, the Borrower may elect to replace such Conduit Lender and the other parties to its Lender Group (the "<u>Affected Group</u>") with one or more assignees procured by the Borrower, *provided* that no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; and *provided further* that, concurrently with such replacement, such assignee Lender or Lenders shall agree to purchase for cash the Advances and all other rights of, and obligations due to, the Affected Group hereunder pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Group to be terminated as of such date. Any such Affected Group shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of <u>Section 12.02</u>. In the event that such an assignment occurs, the assignee Lender or Lenders shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall reasonably request in connection therewith. For so long as the sum of the Commitments of any Affected Group under this <u>Section 13.02</u> is equal to or less than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, each such Affected Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign its rights and interests hereunder to any Person identified by the Borrower as a potential assignee Lender hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Replacement of Defaulting and Non-Consenting Lenders</u>. If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or (ii) any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender is a "Defaulting Lender" (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement, then, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or all members in the Lender Group of such

------

Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions in <u>Section 12.02</u>), all of its or their interests, rights and obligations hereunder and under the Related Documents to a Person that shall assume such obligation (which assignee may be a Lender from another Lender Group if such other Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)each such assignment shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under 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;&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)no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more assignees permitted under <u>Section 12.02</u> in an aggregate amount equal to the principal balance of all Advances held by such Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto and all other amounts payable to such Lender through the date of sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)in the case of any assignment and delegation resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)such assignment is in compliance with all federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations applicable to such assignment or the Related Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which is the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof only, if, in either case, the Administrative Agent is also replaced contemporaneously, pursuant to documents reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has received payment of an amount equal to all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each of the other Related Document; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.

All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Funding Agreement or in Annex X thereto.

This Revolving Note is one of the Revolving Notes issued pursuant to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Receivables Funding and Administration Agreement dated as of December 22, 2021 by and among the Borrower, TD Synnex Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the Lender (and any other "Lender" party thereto), the other parties thereto, and the Administrative Agent (including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, and as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Funding Agreement"), and is entitled to the benefit and security of the Funding Agreement and all of the other Related Documents referred to therein. Reference is hereby made to the Funding Agreement for a statement of all of the terms and conditions under which the Advances evidenced hereby are made and are to be repaid. The date and amount of each Advance made by the Lender to the Borrower, the rates of interest applicable thereto and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on its books; *provided* that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing under the Funding Agreement or this Revolving Note in respect of the Advances actually made by the Lender to the Borrower.

The principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Funding Agreement, the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Interest thereon shall be paid until such principal amount is paid in full at such interest rates and at such times, and pursuant to such calculations, as are specified in the Funding Agreement.

If any payment on this Revolving Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

Upon and after the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Revolving Note may, as provided in the Funding Agreement, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable.

Time is of the essence of this Revolving Note. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest are hereby waived by the Borrower.

Except as provided in the Funding Agreement, this Revolving Note may not be assigned by the Lender to any Person. If this Revolving Note is assigned, the Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of an assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender this Revolving Note to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and, if requested by either the assignee or the assigning Lender, the Borrower shall issue and deliver a new Revolving Note to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or Advances of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Originator agrees to sell (without recourse except to the limited extent specifically provided herein) or, in the case of the Parent, sell or contribute, to Buyer on (x) with respect to Parent, January 23, 2009 and on each Business Day thereafter, (y) with respect to Hyve, November 29, 2014 and on each Business Day thereafter and (z) with respect to Tech Data Government Solutions LLC, on the Effective Date and on each Business Day thereafter (each such date, a "<u>Transfer Date</u>") all Receivables owned by it on each such Transfer Date other than the Excluded Receivables, and Buyer agrees to purchase or acquire as a capital contribution all such Receivables on each such Transfer Date. All such Transfers by an Originator to Buyer shall collectively be evidenced by a certificate of assignment substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.01(a)</u> (each, a "<u>Receivables</u> <u>Assignment</u>," and collectively, the "<u>Receivables Assignments</u>"), and each Originator and Buyer shall have executed and delivered a Receivables Assignment on or before the initial Transfer Date on which such Originator first transferred Receivables to Buyer hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Determination of Sold Receivables</u>. On and as of each Transfer Date, (i) all Receivables other than the Excluded Receivables then owned by each Originator (other than the Parent) and not previously acquired by Buyer shall be sold immediately upon its creation, and (ii) to the extent Receivables then owned by the Parent other than the Excluded Receivables have not been contributed to Buyer in accordance with <u>Section 2.01(d)</u>, such Receivables shall be sold to Buyer (each such Receivable sold immediately upon its creation pursuant to <u>clauses (i)</u> and <u>(ii)</u> above, individually, a "<u>Sold Receivable</u>" and, collectively, the "<u>Sold Receivables</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)<u>Payment of Sale Price</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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)To the extent that the Sale Price of Sold Receivables exceeds the amount of cash then available to Buyer, the applicable Originator hereby agrees to make a subordinated loan (each, a "<u>Subordinated Loan</u>") to Buyer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of such excess in satisfaction of the equivalent portion of the Sale Price not paid in cash and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer's Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. The Subordinated Loans of an Originator shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii)</u> (a "<u>Subordinated Note</u>") executed by Buyer and payable to such Originator. The Subordinated Loans shall bear interest and be payable as provided in the Subordinated 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;(d)<u>Determination of Contributed Receivables</u>. Prior to the delivery of an Election Notice, on each Transfer Date on which Buyer cannot pay the Sale Price therefor in cash or with Subordinated Loans pursuant to <u>clause (c)</u> above, the Parent shall identify Receivables then owned by it which have not been previously acquired by Buyer other than the Excluded Receivables, and shall, prior to the delivery of an Election Notice, contribute such Receivables as a capital contribution to Buyer (each such contributed Receivable, individually, a "<u>Contributed</u> <u>Receivable</u>," and collectively, the "<u>Contributed Receivables</u>"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent shall not be obligated to make additional contributions to Buyer at any time. If on any Transfer Date (i) the Parent elects not to contribute Receivables (other than the Excluded Receivables) to Buyer when Buyer cannot pay the Sale Price therefor in cash or through Subordinated Loans, or (ii) any Originator (other than the Parent) does not sell all of its then owned Receivables to Buyer other than the Excluded Receivables, such Originator shall deliver to Buyer not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Transfer Date a notice of election thereof (each such notice, an "<u>Election Notice</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>Ownership of Transferred Receivables</u>. On and after each Transfer Date and after giving effect to the Transfers to be made on each such date, Buyer shall own the Transferred Receivables and no Originator shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor shall any Originator claim any ownership interest in such Transferred Receivables. The Excluded Receivables shall not be transferred hereunder or otherwise constitute "Sold Receivables", "Contributed Receivables" or "Transferred Receivables" hereunder or under the Related Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Reconstruction of General Trial Balance</u>. If at any time any Originator fails to generate its General Trial Balance, Buyer shall have the right to reconstruct such General Trial Balance so that a determination of the Transferred Receivables can be made pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.01(b)</u>. Each Originator agrees to cooperate with such reconstruction, including by delivery to Buyer, upon Buyer's request, of copies of all Records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Servicing of Receivables</u>. So long as no Event of Servicer Termination shall have occurred and be continuing and no Successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to <u>Section 9.02</u>, the Servicer shall (i) conduct the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect the Transferred Receivables, all in accordance with (A) the terms of this Agreement, (B) customary and prudent servicing procedures for trade receivables of a similar type and (C) all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) hold all Contracts and other documents and incidents relating

------

to the Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of Buyer, as the owner thereof, and for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Transferred Receivables in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer hereby instructs the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby acknowledges, that the Servicer shall hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of Buyer and the Servicer's retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be solely in a custodial capacity for the benefit of Buyer and its assigns and pledgees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Express Intent</u>. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that each transfer of Sold Receivables from an Originator to the Buyer is, and shall be construed as, a purchase by the Buyer and the sale by the applicable Originator of such Sold Receivables, and that each transfer of Contributed Receivables from Parent to the Buyer is, and shall be construed as, a capital contribution of such Contributed Receivables, and, in each case, not a loan or other transaction.

Section 2.02.<u>Grant of Security Interest</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;(a)The parties hereto intend that each Transfer shall be absolute and shall constitute a purchase and sale or capital contribution, as applicable, and not a loan. In addition to and not in derogation of any rights now or hereafter acquired by Buyer under <u>Section 2.01</u>, the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law if a court of competent jurisdiction determines, despite the intent of the parties, that any transaction provided for herein constitutes a loan and not a sale or capital contribution, as applicable, that each Originator shall be deemed to have granted, and each Originator does hereby grant, to Buyer a continuing security interest in all of such Originator's right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Receivables whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Originator to secure the obligations of such Originator to Buyer hereunder (including, if and to the extent that any Transfer is recharacterized as a transfer for security under applicable law, the repayment of a loan deemed to have been made by Buyer to the applicable Originator in the amount of the Sale Price with respect thereto, including interest thereon at the Base Rate). Each of Parent and Hyve reconfirms its grant of a security interest to Buyer of a first priority Lien in and to all of such Originator's right, title and interest in, to and under the "Transferred Receivables" under, and as defined in, the Existing Transfer 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;(b)Each Originator hereby grants, assigns, conveys, pledges, hypothecates and transfers to Buyer a Lien upon and security interest in all of such Originator's right, title and interest in, to and under, but none of its obligations arising from, (i) the Originator Collection Accounts, the related Lockboxes and all funds on deposit therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing such Account, such Lockboxes or such funds, (ii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, investment property and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed with respect to or in exchange for such Accounts, such Lockboxes or such funds on deposit therein, and (iii) all proceeds and products of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and profits of, such Accounts, such Lockboxes and such funds on deposit therein, in each case, whether now owned by or owing to, or hereafter acquired by or arising in favor of, such Originator (including under any trade names styles or derivations of such Originator) and regardless of where located.

------

Section 2.03.<u>Originator Support Agreement</u>. The Parent hereby agrees that in the event that any of its Affiliates become parties to this Agreement as Originators, the Parent shall undertake and agree, to and for the benefit of Buyer, to cause the due and punctual performance and observance by each such Originator of all of the terms, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of such Originator to be performed or observed by it hereunder or under any other Related Document and, in connection therewith, shall execute and deliver to Buyer an Originator Support Agreement in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 2.03</u>, to more fully evidence such undertaking.

Section 2.04.<u>Originators Remain Liable</u>. It is expressly agreed by the Originators that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Originator shall remain liable to the Obligor (and any other party to the related Contract) under any and all of the Transferred Receivables originated by it and under the Contracts therefor to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability to the Obligor or any other party to the related Contract under any such Transferred Receivables or Contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Buyer of any payment relating thereto pursuant hereto. The exercise by Buyer of any of its rights under this Agreement shall not release any Originator from any of its respective duties or obligations under any such Transferred Receivables or Contracts. Buyer shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Originator under or pursuant to any such Transferred Receivable or Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such Transferred Receivable or Contract, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time.

Section 6.01.<u>Notices</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other parties, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any other parties any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three Business Days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by email of the signed notice in PDF form or facsimile transmission (with such email or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this <u>Section 6.01</u>), (c) one Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number set forth in <u>Schedule 6.01</u> attached hereto or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all notices to be provided to Buyer hereunder shall be delivered to both Buyer and the Administrative Agent under the Funding Agreement, and shall be effective only upon such delivery to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Funding Agreement. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than Buyer) designated in any written communication provided hereunder to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication.

Section 6.02.<u>No Waiver; Remedies</u>. Buyer's failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Originators of any provision of this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Buyer thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Originator contained in this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment, and no breach or default by any Originator hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Buyer unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of Buyer and the Administrative Agent and directed to such Originator specifying such suspension or waiver. Buyer's rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be

------

cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Buyer may have under any other agreement, including the other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse to the Transferred Receivables shall not be required.

Section 6.03.<u>Successors and Assigns</u>. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each Originator, Servicer and Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise provided herein. No Originator nor the Servicer may assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of Buyer and the Administrative Agent. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by any Originator or the Servicer without the prior express written consent of Buyer and the Administrative Agent shall be void. Each Originator and the Servicer acknowledges that Buyer may collaterally assign (and has collaterally assigned) all of its rights granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) under the Funding Agreement, including the benefit of any indemnities under <u>Article V</u>, and the Administrative Agent shall have all rights of Buyer hereunder and, to the extent permitted under the Funding Agreement, may in turn assign such rights. Each Originator and the Servicer acknowledges and agrees that until the Termination Date under the Funding Agreement, (i) no consent or approval by Buyer hereunder nor any delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice hereunder shall be effective without the written consent and approval of the Administrative Agent, (ii) each determination specified to be made by Buyer hereunder may be made by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) the Administrative Agent may enforce directly, without joinder of Buyer, all of Buyer's rights set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, <u>Sections 4.02(b)</u>, <u>4.02(c)</u>, <u>4.04</u>, <u>6.13</u>, <u>6.14</u>, <u>7.04(f)</u>, <u>7.04(h)</u>, <u>7.04(i)</u>, <u>7.04(j)</u>, <u>7.04(k)</u>, <u>8.01</u> and <u>9.02</u>. All such assignees, including parties to the Funding Agreement in the case of any assignment to such parties, shall be third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to enforce Buyer's rights and remedies under, this Agreement to the same extent as Buyer or any of its designated representatives may do. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of each Originator, the Servicer and Buyer with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and, except for the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent, no Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon each Originator, and

------

all rights of Buyer hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; *provided* that the rights and remedies set forth in <u>Section 4.04</u>, the indemnification and payment provisions of <u>Article V</u>, and the provisions of <u>Sections 4.03(j)</u>, <u>6.03</u>, <u>6.12</u> and <u>6.14</u> shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

No consent or demand in any case shall, in itself, entitle any party to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Transferred Receivables is or shall become evidenced by any instrument, such instrument, other than checks and notes received in the ordinary course of business, shall be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Buyer immediately upon such Originator's receipt thereof and promptly delivered to Buyer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 any Originator fails to perform any agreement or obligation under this <u>Section</u> <u>6.13</u>, Buyer may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the reasonable expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Originator upon demand of Buyer.

In the event that amounts payable to the Originators pursuant to this Agreement exceed Buyer Available Amounts, the excess of the amounts due hereunder (and subject to this <u>Section 6.15</u>) over the Buyer Available Amounts paid shall not constitute a "claim" under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code against Buyer until such time as Buyer has Buyer Available Amounts.

In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which discounts, offsets or other non-cash reductions have been granted or made with respect to the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree for purposes of this Agreement only that such reductions shall be deemed to have been granted or made (i) prior to a Termination Event, on such Receivables as determined by the Servicer, and (ii) from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, in the reverse order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor.

Buyer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the rights of Buyer hereunder, in the determination of the Servicer, to (a) collect all amounts due under any Transferred Receivable, including endorsing the applicable name on checks and other instruments representing Collections on such Receivable, and execute and deliver any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to any such Receivable and (b) after any Transferred Receivable becomes a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, commence proceedings with respect to the enforcement of payment of any such Receivable and the Contract therefor and adjust, settle or compromise any payments due thereunder, in each case to the same extent as the applicable Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Receivable. Buyer shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to

------

enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (at the Servicer's expense) (i) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Transferred Receivable or (ii) to foreclose upon, repossess or take any other action that Buyer deems necessary or advisable with respect thereto.

The Servicer shall give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any event that (i) could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a Lien under Section 430(k) of the IRC or Section 303(k) or 4068 of ERISA, or (ii) could reasonably be

------

expected to result in the incurrence by Servicer of any liabilities under Title IV of ERISA (other than premium payments arising in the ordinary course of business).

The Servicer shall not without the prior written consent of Buyer amend, modify or waive any term or provision of the Credit and Collection Policies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)<u>Ownership of Transferred Receivables; Servicing Records</u>.

Except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, Buyer agrees not to use (and shall cause the Administrative Agent to covenant not to use) any such license without giving the Servicer prior written 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;(m)<u>Deposit of Collections</u>.

The Servicer shall (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to) endorse, to the extent necessary, all checks or other instruments received in any Lockbox so that the same can be deposited into the relevant Collection Account or the relevant Concentration Account, in the form so received (with all necessary endorsements), on the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof. In addition, the Servicer shall (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to) deposit or cause to be deposited into the relevant Concentration Account all cash, checks, money orders or other proceeds of Transferred Receivables or Borrower Collateral received by it in any Lockbox or any Collection Account, in the form so received (with all necessary endorsements), not later than the close of business on the first Business Day following the receipt thereof, and until so deposited all such items or other proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.

If any funds not constituting Collections of Transferred Receivables are nonetheless impermissibly deposited into any Lockbox, any Collection Account or any Concentration Account and the Servicer so notifies Buyer, Buyer shall promptly remit any such amounts to the applicable Originator. So long as any Transferred Receivables of an Obligor remain unpaid, the Servicer shall not instruct such Obligor to remit Collections of any Receivables other than Excluded Receivables to any Person or account other than to the relevant Lockbox, the relevant Collection Account or the relevant Concentration Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o)<u>Separate Identity</u>.

**ARTICLE IX** 

**SUCCESSOR SERVICER PROVISIONS**

The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that (a) the performance of its duties hereunder has become impermissible under applicable law or regulation and (b) there is no reasonable action that the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder become permissible under applicable law. Any such determination shall (i) with respect to <u>clause (a)</u> above, be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect and (ii) with respect to <u>clause (b)</u> above, be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect, in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent.

In connection with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities or the resignation by the Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to <u>Sections 8.01</u> or <u>9.01</u>, Buyer may at any time appoint a successor servicer to the Servicer that shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement

------

(the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, or such successor servicer being referred to as the "<u>Successor Servicer</u>"); *provided* that the Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility for any actions of the Servicer prior to the date of its appointment or assumption of duties as Successor Servicer. In selecting a Successor Servicer, Buyer may (but shall not be required to) obtain bids from any potential Successor Servicer and may agree to any bid it deems appropriate. The Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by executing, acknowledging and delivering to Buyer an instrument in form and substance acceptable to Buyer and the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.03.<u>Duties of the Servicer</u>. The Servicer covenants and agrees that, following the appointment of, or assumption of duties by, a Successor 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;(a)The Servicer shall terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that facilitates the transfer of servicing duties to the Successor Servicer and is otherwise acceptable to Buyer and the Administrative Agent and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall, at its own expense, timely deliver (i) any funds to the Administrative Agent that were required to be remitted to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the Agent Account under the Funding Agreement and (ii) copies of all Servicing Records and other information with respect to the Transferred Receivables to the Successor Servicer at a place selected by the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement and shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may be required to vest and confirm in the Successor Servicer all rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring all files and other documents in respect of the Transferred Receivables to the Successor Servicer shall be for the account of the predecessor 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;(b)The Servicer shall terminate each existing Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Successor Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer's interests therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 that the Servicer is terminated as Servicer hereunder but no Successor Servicer has been appointed, the Servicer shall timely deliver to the Administrative Agent or its designee, at a place designated by the Administrative Agent or such designee, all Servicing Records and other information with respect to the Transferred Receivables which otherwise would be required to be delivered to the Successor Servicer under <u>Section 9.03(a)</u> above, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring such files and other documents to the Administrative Agent shall be for the account of the predecessor Servicer.

Section 9.04.<u>Effect of Termination or Resignation</u>. Any termination of or resignation by the Servicer hereunder shall not affect any claims that Buyer or its assigns may have against the Servicer for events or actions taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

Section 9.05.<u>Power of Attorney</u>. On the Effective Date, the Servicer shall execute and deliver a power of attorney in substantially in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 9.05</u> (a "<u>Power</u> <u>of Attorney</u>"). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be

------

irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Transferred Receivables have been indefeasibly paid or otherwise written off as uncollectible. The powers conferred under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect the interests of Buyer and its assigns (including the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties) in the Transferred Receivables and the ability of the Successor Servicer to assume the servicing rights, powers and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or the Successor Servicer to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent covenants and agrees not to use the Power of Attorney except following a Termination Event and prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date.

Section 9.06.<u>No Proceedings</u>. Each Originator and Servicer agrees that, from and after the Prior Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the Termination Date, it will not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against Buyer any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 8.01(d) and 8.01(e) of the Funding Agreement. This <u>Section 9.06</u> shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Form of SUBORDINATED NOTE

[[$/C$]<u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u> , <u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SIT FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a SIT Funding Corporation) (the "<u>Borrower</u>"), hereby promises to pay to the order of [<u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>], a (the "<u>Subordinated Lender</u>"), or its assigns, at [ADDRESS], or at such other place as the holder of this Subordinated Note ("<u>Note</u>") may designate from time to time in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of [ ] DOLLARS [$], or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Subordinated Loans (as defined in the Sale Agreement referred to below) made to the Borrower, upon the earlier to occur of (i) Final Advance Date and (ii) the Termination Date (in each case, as defined in Annex X to the Sale Agreement referred to below), together with interest thereon from time to time from the Effective Date (as defined in the Sale Agreement referred to below) at the rate shown in The Wall Street Journal as the "Prime Rate" on such date (the "<u>Interest Rate</u>") on the unpaid principal amount of each Subordinated Loan for the period commencing on and including the date of such Subordinated Loan to but excluding the date such Subordinated Loan is paid in full.

The date, amount and interest rate of each Subordinated Loan made by the Subordinated Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Subordinated Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this Note, endorsed by the Subordinated Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof. The books of the Subordinated Lender and such schedule shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Subordinated Lender by the Borrower; *provided* that any failure of the Subordinated Lender to record a notation in its books or on the schedule to this Note as aforesaid or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay Subordinated Loans in accordance with their respective terms set forth herein.

All capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of January 23, 2009 (as the same may be subsequently amended, restated or otherwise modified, the "<u>Sale Agreement</u>") by and among the Borrower, the Subordinated Lender, the other Originators thereunder and TD SYNNEX Corporation. This Note is issued pursuant to the Sale Agreement and is one of the Subordinated Notes referred to therein. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sale Agreement and all other instruments evidencing the indebtedness hereunder, including the other Related Documents, are hereby made a part of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in full.

------

The Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily repay, in whole or in part, all Subordinated Loans made hereunder. Any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder; *provided* that all repayments of Subordinated Loans or any portion thereof shall be made together with payment of all interest accrued on the amount repaid to (but excluding) the date of such repayment.

Interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note from time to time in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month. All computations of interest shall be made by the Subordinated Lender on the basis of a 365 day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. The Interest Rate shall be determined (i) on the first Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Date for calculation of the Interest Rate for the period from the Effective Date through the end of the first calendar month following the Effective Date, and (ii) as of the last Business Day of each month for use in calculating the interest that is payable for the following calendar month, and the Interest Rate so determined shall be utilized for such calendar month. Each determination by the Subordinated Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error). The Borrower shall pay interest at the applicable Interest Rate on unpaid interest on any Subordinated Loan or any installment thereof, and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder (to the extent permitted by law) that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for the period commencing on the due date thereof to (but excluding) the date the same is indefeasibly paid in full.

If any payment or prepayment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the Interest Rate during such extension.

As set forth below, the indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Note is subordinate in right of payment to all Borrower Obligations and all renewals, extensions, refinancings or refundings of any such obligations (whether for principal, interest (including but not limited to interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding (each, an "<u>Insolvency Proceeding</u>") whether or not such interest is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), fees, indemnities, repurchase price, expenses or otherwise) (collectively, the "<u>Senior Obligations</u>"). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, any holder of a Senior Obligation, and may not be terminated, amended or otherwise revoked until the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Related Documents terminated in accordance with their respective terms. This Subordinated Note shall not be subject to any defense or any rights of set- off, including on account of any past or present debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event, the Subordinated Lender shall not demand, accelerate, sue for, take, receive or accept from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral) any payment of or security for all or any part of the indebtedness under this Subordinated Note or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same. The Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day after all of the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Related Documents terminated in accordance with their respective terms, the

Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii)-2

------

Subordinated Lender will not take any action to institute any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or which would be reasonably likely to cause the Borrower to be subject to, or seek the protection of, any such Insolvency Proceeding.

If the Borrower becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, then the holders of the Senior Obligations shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or with respect to the Senior Obligations before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of this Subordinated Note. Accordingly, any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable Insolvency Proceeding, that would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Administrative Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Obligations until such Senior Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Subordinated Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the "<u>Maximum Lawful Rate</u>"). In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Subordinated Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate; *provided* that if at any time thereafter the amount of interest payable to Subordinated Lender hereunder is less than the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Subordinated Lender from the making of Subordinated Loans hereunder is equal to the total interest that Subordinated Lender would have received had the amount of interest payable to Subordinated Lender hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the amount of interest payable from the Effective Date. Thereafter, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall be the amount determined in accordance with the terms hereof unless and until the amount so calculated again exceeds the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by Subordinated Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. In the event the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the provisions of this Note, shall make a final determination that Subordinated Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Subordinated Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess first to any interest due and not yet paid hereunder, then to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Loans, then to fees and any other unpaid charges, and thereafter shall refund any excess to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii)-3

------

Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Note.

THIS ORIGINATOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT ("<u>Agreement</u>") is entered into as of [ , ], by TD SYNNEX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("<u>Parent</u>"), in favor of SIT FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a SIT Funding Corporation) ("<u>SPE</u>").

RECITALS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)SIT Funding LLC, as purchaser, has entered into a Third Amended and Restated Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of January 23, 2009 (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "<u>Sale</u> <u>Agreement</u>"), with TD SYNNEX Corporation, and the persons party thereto as "Originators." Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms or matters of construction defined or established Annex X to the Sale Agreement shall be applied herein as defined or established therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)It is a condition precedent to [<u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>] becoming a party to the Sale Agreement as an "Originator" that Parent, as owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 100% of the outstanding Stock having ordinary voting power to elect the board of directors of [ ] and each other Originator, shall have executed and delivered this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce SPE to make purchases under the Sale Agreement, Parent hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. <u>Unconditional Undertaking</u>. Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with and for the benefit of SPE and the Administrative Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to cause the due and punctual performance and observance by the Servicer and each other Originator and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "<u>Synnex Entities</u>") of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of such Synnex Entity to be performed or observed under the Sale Agreement or any document delivered by such Synnex Entity in connection with the Sale Agreement, the Funding Agreement and the Related Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, including the punctual payment when due of all obligations of such Synnex Entity now or hereafter existing under the Sale Agreement whether for indemnification payments, fees, expenses or otherwise (such terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, undertakings and other obligations being the "<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>"), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of attorneys, auditors and accountants) incurred by SPE, the Administrative Agent and their respective assigns

------

in enforcing any rights under this Agreement; *provided* that the foregoing unconditional undertaking of Parent is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guarantee of the collectibility or payment of the Transferred Receivables. Parent agrees that each of its Subsidiaries that becomes an "Originator" under the Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be an "Originator" for purposes of this Agreement. In the event that any Synnex Entity shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of its Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall be required to be performed or observed under the Sale Agreement or any such other Related Document, then Parent will itself duly and punctually perform or observe, or cause to be duly and punctually performed or observed, such Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of Parent hereunder to perform or observe any Guaranteed Obligation (or to cause the same to be performed or observed) that SPE or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to Parent or to any Synnex Entity or their respective successors or assigns, or have instituted any action or proceeding against Parent or any Synnex Entity or their respective successors or assigns in respect thereof.

Section 2. <u>Obligation Absolute</u>. Parent undertakes that the Guaranteed Obligations will be performed or paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement or any other Related Document delivered by any Synnex Entity in connection with the Sale Agreement regardless of any law, regulation or order applicable to SPE or the Administrative Agent now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of SPE or the Administrative Agent with respect thereto. The obligations of Parent under this Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Parent to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Synnex Entity or whether any Synnex Entity is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of Parent under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)any lack of validity or enforceability of the Sale Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Sale Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from additional purchases or contributions of Receivables (other than Excluded Receivables) or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed 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;&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)any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any

Exhibit 2.03-2

------

manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of any Synnex Entity or any of its subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Synnex Entity or any of its subsidiaries; 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;&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)any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Synnex Entity or a guarantor.

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by SPE upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Synnex Entity or otherwise, all as though payment had not been made.

Section 3. <u>Waivers</u>. Parent hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and, except to the extent required under the Sale Agreement, any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that SPE or the Administrative Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Synnex Entity or any other person or entity or any collateral.

Section 4. <u>Subrogation</u>. Parent agrees not to exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation against any Synnex Entity and its property or any rights of indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from any Synnex Entity and its property, in each case in connection with this Agreement and any payments made hereunder, until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full and the Termination Date has occurred.

Section 5. <u>Separate Identity from Buyer</u>. Parent shall itself, and shall ensure that each of its Affiliates, at all times comply with the covenants and agreements of the Originators set forth in Section 4.02(i) of the Sale Agreement as if Parent and each of its Affiliates were identified therein. Parent is party to no agreements with SPE or the Administrative Agent other than pursuant to the Related Documents.

Section 6. <u>No Proceedings</u>. From and after the Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the date on which all Borrower Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, Parent shall not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against SPE any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 8.01(c) or 8.01(d) of the Sale Agreement.

Section 7. <u>Amendments and Waivers</u>. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Parent herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by SPE and the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

------

Section 8. <u>Addresses for Notices</u>. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be sent in the manner provided in Section 6.01 of the Sale Agreement, which provisions are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

Section 9. <u>No Waiver; Remedies</u>. No failure on the part of SPE or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 10. <u>Continuing Agreement; Assignments under Sale Agreement</u>. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred and the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the payment of all other amounts payable under this Agreement, (b) be binding upon Parent, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, SPE, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing <u>clause (c)</u>, if SPE assigns all or any of the Transferred Receivables, or any interest therein, the assignees shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to SPE and the Administrative Agent herein or otherwise, including the rights to receive any notices hereunder, to consent to any waivers, amendments or other modifications of this Agreement, and/or to be reimbursed for any expenses in enforcing any rights hereunder.

Section 11. <u>Severability</u>. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12. <u>GOVERNING LAW</u>. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ORIGINATOR OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, 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)If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, that comes into effect after the Closing Date, affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the Issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the Issuance or maintenance of

or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Such demand for compensation shall be in reasonable detail and shall certify that the claim for additional amounts referred to therein is generally consistent with such Lender's treatment of similarly situated customers of such Lender whose transactions with such Lender are similarly affected by the change in circumstances giving rise to such payment, but such Lender shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 anything herein to the contrary, for the purposes of this **<u>Section 2.11</u>**, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives by a governmental authority thereunder or issued by a governmental authority in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law) and (ii) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of law), in case for this **<u>clause (ii)</u>** pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

**Section 2.12. <u>Illegality</u>.**

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than **<u>Section 2.21</u>**), if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, in each case, after the Closing Date, makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its SOFR Lending Office or Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make SOFR Advances in Dollars or Eurocurrency Rate Advances in any Committed Currency or to fund or maintain SOFR Advances in Dollars or Eurocurrency Rate Advances in any Committed Currency hereunder, (a) each SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, upon such notification (i)(A) in the case applicable to both a Term SOFR Advance and a Daily Simple SOFR Advance, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance, (B) in the case applicable to a Daily Simple SOFR Advance only, be Converted into a Term SOFR Advance with an Interest Period of one-month, (C) in the case applicable to a Term SOFR Advance only, be Converted into a Daily Simple SOFR Advance, and (D) in the case applicable to any Eurocurrency Rate Advance, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and, at the Borrower's election, (I) be Converted into a Base Rate Advance, (II) be Converted into a Term SOFR Advance with an Interest Period of one-month or (II) be Converted into a Daily Simple SOFR Advance, ***provided***, that if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is three Business Days after receipt

by the Borrower of any applicable notice by the Agent, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above, and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in the affected currency or to Convert Advances into affected SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in such affected currency shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; ***provided***, ***however***, that before making any such notification, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different SOFR Lending Office or Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such designation would allow such Lender or its SOFR Lending Office or Eurocurrency Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

**Section 2.13. <u>Payments and Computations</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;(a)The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency), irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 1:00 P.M.

The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 1:00 P.M. (at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency) on the day when due in such Committed Currency to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent's Account in same day funds. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to **<u>Section 2.03</u>**, **<u>2.04(b)</u>**, **<u>2.11</u>**, **<u>2.14</u>** or **<u>8.04(c)</u>**) to the Appropriate Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to **<u>Section 2.18</u>** or an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to **<u>Section 2.20</u>**, and upon the Agent's receipt of such Lender's Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date or Anniversary Date, as the case may be, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to **<u>Section 8.07(c)</u>**, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate

------

adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)All computations of interest based on Citibank's announced base rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate (other than Term CORRA), the Federal Funds Rate or **<u>clauses (b)</u>** and **<u>(c)</u>** of the definition of Base Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, and all computations of interest based on the Term CORRA Reference Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days, (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, 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;(c)Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fee or commission, as the case may be; ***provided***, ***however***, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Appropriate Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Appropriate Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 the extent that the Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this **<u>Section 2.13</u>**, the Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Committed Currency or from Dollars to a Committed Currency or from a Committed Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this **<u>Section 2.13</u>**; ***provided*** that the Borrower and each of the Appropriate Lenders hereby agree that the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this **<u>Section 2.13(e)</u>** or as a result of the failure of the Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and

------

***provided***, ***further***, that the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this **<u>Section 2.13(e)</u>**, absent gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a final non-appealable judgement by a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Agent or such Lender, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent the Agent receives a payment or other amount after the date such payment or other amount is due, the Agent, in its sole discretion, may distribute such payment or other amount to the relevant Lender of record (or other Person of record entitled to such payment) as of the date such payment or other amount is received by the Agent.

**Section 2.14. <u>Taxes</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;(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any Borrower or the Company to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with **<u>Section 2.13</u>** or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Withholding Agent shall be required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, (ii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by any Borrower or the Company 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 2.14</u>**), such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 addition, the Company shall timely pay any present or future stamp or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to **<u>Section 8.16</u>**) (hereinafter referred to as "***Other Taxes***").

------

This indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the 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)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for

in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection herewith or in connection with the Notes, 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 the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender hereunder or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this **<u>paragraph (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)Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this **<u>Section 2.14</u>**, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in **<u>Section 8.02</u>**, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the 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;(f)(i) Any Lender to a U.S. Borrower that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or the Notes shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Agent in writing as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender to a U.S. Borrower, if reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Agent in writing, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Agent as will enable the U.S. Borrower or the 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>paragraphs (f)(ii)(A)</u>**, **<u>(ii)(B)</u>** and **<u>(ii)(D)</u>** of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered in relation to this **<u>Section 2.14</u>** expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the U.S. Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this **<u>paragraph (g)</u>** (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this **<u>paragraph (g)</u>**, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this **<u>paragraph (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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

relevant Lender notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Company and the UK Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, any such participation shall not be invalidated by any such failure of a Lender to comply with this paragraph (H).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 UK Borrower shall, promptly on becoming aware that it must make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a UK Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives any such notification it shall promptly notify the Company or the Lender (as the case may be).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Agent or any Lender (the "Supplier") to the Agent or another Lender (the "Supply Recipient") under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the "Relevant Party") is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Supply Recipient in respect of that consideration):

The Supply Recipient must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Supply Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Supply Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)(where the Supply Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party

must promptly, following demand from the Supply Recipient, pay to the Supply Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Supply Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify the Agent or any Lender for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents irrecoverable VAT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Any reference in paragraphs (i) – (iii) and (v) below to a party shall, at any time when such party is treated as member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)In relation to any supply made by the Agent or any Lender to a party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by the Agent or such Lender, that party must promptly provide the Agent or such Lender with details of that party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Agent's or such Lender's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

**Section 2.15. <u>Sharing of Payments, Etc</u>.**

If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than (x) as payment of an Advance made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to the first sentence of **<u>Section 2.03(c)</u>** or (y) pursuant to **<u>Section 2.06(b)</u>**, **<u>2.11</u>**, **<u>2.14</u>**, **<u>2.19</u>** or **<u>8.04(c)</u>**) in excess of its pro rata share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; ***provided***, ***however***, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so

recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered; ***provided***, ***further***, that, so long as the maturity of the obligations under this Agreement and the Notes shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment received by any Appropriate Lender in respect of any Facility shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Appropriate Lenders. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this **<u>Section 2.15</u>** may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

**Section 2.16. <u>Evidence of Debt</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;(a)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note, a Term Note and a Swingline Note, as applicable, in substantially the form of **<u>Exhibits A-1</u>**, **<u>A-2</u>** and **<u>A-3</u>** hereto, respectively, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment(s), the Term Commitment and the Swingline Commitments, respectively, 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;(b)The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to **<u>Section 8.07(c)</u>** shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to **<u>subsection (b)</u>** above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to **<u>subsection (a)</u>** above, shall be <u>prima</u> <u>facie</u> evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; ***provided***, ***however***, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under 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 addition to the accounts and records referred to in **<u>Section 2.16(a)</u>**, each Revolving Credit Lender and the Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Swingline Advances. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

**Section 2.17. <u>Use of Proceeds</u>.**

The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances were available on the Closing Date (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions and, thereafter, shall be available for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Term Advances shall be used by the Company solely to finance the Transactions. Following the Restatement Date, the proceeds of the Swingline Advances shall be used for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

Each Lender's and each Eligible Assignee's proposed increased Revolving Credit Commitment shall be subject to the prior written approval of each Issuing Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Company as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders and Eligible Assignees are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders shall have received all documentation and other information with respect to such Applicant Borrower required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act. If the Agent and each Lender, in their sole discretion, approve such Applicant Borrower, then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of **<u>Exhibit G</u>** (a "***Designated Borrower Notice***") to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each Lender agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement shall become effective as to any Applicant Borrower if any Lender shall decline to approve such Applicant Borrower or such Lender shall be prohibited under applicable Law, regulation or existing internal "know-your-customer" policy, or shall not be licensed, to make the Advances or otherwise extend credit to such Applicant Borrower as provided herein.

Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Company may from time to time, upon not less than 10 Business Days' notice from the Company to the Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower's status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Letters of Credit issued on the account of such Designated Borrower, Advances payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Advances made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower's status. In the event that any Designated Borrower shall cease to be a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, the Company shall cause all outstanding Advances and other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower to be repaid in full and terminate such Designated Borrower's status as such, in each case, on or prior to the date such Designated Borrower ceases to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company.

If, on and after the Closing Date, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may with the consent, or shall at the request, of the Required Lenders, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in **<u>Section 6.01</u>** or otherwise, make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower will,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)pay to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in same day funds at the Agent's office designated in such demand, for deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding or

If at any time an Event of Default is continuing the Agent determines that any funds held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the Lenders or that the total amount of such funds is less than an aggregate amount equal to 103% (or if not denominated in Dollars, 110%) of the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) an aggregate amount equal to 103% (or if not denominated in Dollars, 110%) of such Available Amounts over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account that the Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit, to the extent funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks to the extent permitted by applicable law. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes shall have

been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such L/C Cash Deposit Account shall be returned to the Borrower.

**ARTICLE VII.**

**<u>THE AGENT</u>**

**Section 7.01. <u>Authorization and Authority</u>.**

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary (other than with respect to **<u>Section 8.06</u>**) of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any Note (or any other similar term) with reference to the 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.

**Section 7.02. <u>Rights as a Lender</u>.**

The Person serving as the 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 the Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. 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 or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

**Section 7.03. <u>Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions</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;(a)The Agent's duties hereunder are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the 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); ***provided*** that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its reasonable opinion or the reasonable opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, including for the

------

avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Agent shall not 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 as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in **<u>Sections 8.01</u>** or **<u>6.01</u>**) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until the Company or any Lender shall have given notice to the Agent describing such Default and such event or events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or the Information Memorandum, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in **<u>Article III</u>** or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing **<u>clause (ii)</u>**) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the 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;(e)Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any "know your customer" or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any of its Related Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)The Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Competitors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Competitor or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Advances, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Competitor.

**Section 7.04. <u>Reliance by Agent</u>.**

------

The Agent 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 authenticated by the proper Person. The 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 an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not have made available to the Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the 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.

**Section 7.05. <u>Delegation of Duties</u>.**

The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The 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. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this **<u>Article</u> <u>VII</u>** and **<u>Section 8.04</u>** (as though such sub-agents were the "Agent" hereunder) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

**Section 7.06. <u>Resignation of Agent</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;(a)The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and 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 30 days after the retiring 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 Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; ***provided*** that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Competitor. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to **<u>clause (d)</u>** of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, with the consent of the Company (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and such

------

consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Notes (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under the Agreement, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the Notes. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent's resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and **<u>Section 8.04</u>** shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Agent was acting as 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)Any resignation by or removal of a Person acting as Agent pursuant to this Section shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Letters of Credit where such advance, issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

**Section 7.07. <u>Non-Reliance on Agent, Other Lenders and Issuing Banks</u>.**

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the 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 Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the 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 Agreement, any Note or any

------

related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Bank for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

**Section 7.08. <u>Indemnification</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;(a)Each Lender severally agrees, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower within 5 Business Days after written demand thereof, to indemnify the Agent from and against such Lender's pro rata share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as such) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent (in its capacity as such) under this Agreement (collectively, the "***Indemnified Costs***"); ***provided***, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its pro rata share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent (in its capacity as such) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this **<u>Section 7.08(a)</u>** applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party. For purposes of this **<u>Section 7.08(a)</u>**, the Lenders' respective pro rata shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lenders, (ii) their respective Ratable Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time, (iii) the aggregate unused portions of their Term Commitments at such time and (iv) their respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments at such time.

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 the assignment shall make such additional payments to the 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 the Company and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby

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 **<u>clause (vii)</u>**, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to **<u>Section 8.07(c)</u>**, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender or Issuing Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's or Issuing Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of **<u>Sections 2.11</u>** and **<u>8.04</u>** 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. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this **<u>Section 8.07(b)</u>** shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with **<u>Section 8.07(d)</u>** (except in the event that such assignment or transfer was to a person that was a Competitor as of the Trade Date (in which case the provisions of **<u>Section 8.07(h)</u>** shall apply)).

The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender and Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "***Register***"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Lender (solely with respect to its own interest in any Borrowing or Commitment) and any Issuing Bank, 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;(d)**Participations.**

For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under **<u>Section 8.08</u>** with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of **<u>Section 2.11</u>** and **<u>2.14</u>** (it being understood that the documentation required under **<u>Section 2.14</u>** shall be delivered by the Participant solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to **<u>Section 8.07(b)</u>**; ***provided*** that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of **<u>Section 8.16</u>** as if it were an assignee under **<u>Section</u> <u>8.07(b)</u>**. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of **<u>Section 8.05</u>** as though it were a Lender; ***provided*** that such Participant agrees to be subject to **<u>Section 2.15</u>** as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 Note or other obligations under this Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder (the "***Participant Register***"); ***provided*** that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any this Agreement or the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder) 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 and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement

notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under **<u>Sections 2.11</u>** and **<u>2.14</u>** than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company's prior written consent. A Participant that is organized or incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of **<u>Section 2.14</u>** unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with **<u>Section 2.14(e)</u>** as though it were a Lender.

In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Bank, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Credit Lenders a successor Issuing Bank hereunder; ***provided***, ***however***, that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Person as Issuing Bank and any Lender so appointed agrees to serve as an Issuing Bank.

**ARTICLE IX.**

**<u>COMPANY GUARANTY</u>**

**Section 9.01. <u>The Guaranty.</u>** The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Agent and each Lender the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereafter defined). This Company Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection.

As used herein, the term "Guaranteed Obligations" means (i) the due and punctual payment by each Designated Borrower of the principal of the Advances and Borrowings of such Designated Borrower hereunder, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable rate or rates provided in this Agreement, and (ii) all other obligations of each Designated Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including obligations under the Loan Documents to pay fees, expenses and reimbursement expenses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Designated Borrowers under the Loan Documents which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against the Company or any Designated Borrower under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not permitted under such proceedings, and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Designated Borrower of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law (collectively, the "***Guaranteed Obligations***").

**Section 9.02. <u>Guaranty Unconditional.</u>**

The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be unconditional, irrevocable, direct and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Designated Borrower under this Agreement or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 change in the existence, structure or ownership of any Designated Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Designated Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Designated Borrower contained in this Agreement or any 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)the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time against any Designated Borrower, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 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;(d)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Company's obligations hereunder.

**Section 9.03. <u>Certain Waivers.</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;(a)The Company waives to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) any defense based on any claim that the Company's obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Designated Borrowers or any of them; (ii) any right to require any Lender to proceed against the Designated Borrowers or any of them, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in any Lender's power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrine of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (iii) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Lender; (iv) any fact or circumstance related to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Company under this Company Guaranty and (v) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than inchoate indemnification liabilities arising under the Loan Documents as to which no claim has been made).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Company expressly waives all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Company Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Company Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Loan Document or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Company under this Company Guaranty, and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

**Section 9.04. <u>Obligations Independent.</u>**

The obligations of the Company hereunder are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action may be brought against the Company to enforce this Company Guaranty whether or not any Designated Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

**Section 9.05. <u>Subrogation.</u>**

The Company shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Company Guaranty on behalf of a Designated Borrower until all of the Guaranteed Obligations relating to such Designated Borrower and any amounts payable under this Company Guaranty for such

------

Designated Borrower have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash (other than inchoate indemnification liabilities arising under the Loan Documents as to which no claim has been made). If any amounts are paid to the Company in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of such Lender and shall forthwith be paid to such Lender to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations for the applicable Designated Borrower, whether matured or unmatured.

**Section 9.06. <u>Termination; Reinstatement.</u>**

This Company Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Company Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of any Lender or facilities provided by any Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Company Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Designated Borrower or the Company is made, or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations 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 any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, administrative receiver, monitor, compulsory manager, custodian or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not such Lender is in possession of or has released this Company Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Company under this <u>Section 9.06</u> shall survive termination of this Company Guaranty in the event that this Company Guaranty is terminated prior to the occurrence of the events giving rise to the Company's obligations under this paragraph.

**Section 9.07. <u>Subordination.</u>**

The Company hereby subordinates the payment of the obligations of a Designated Borrower owing to the Company as subrogee of any Lender or resulting from the Company's performance under this Company Guaranty relating to Guaranteed Obligations of such Designated Borrower, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations of such Designated Borrower (other than inchoate indemnification liabilities arising under the Loan Documents as to which no claim has been made).

**Section 9.08. <u>Stay of Acceleration.</u>**

In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations for a Designated Borrower is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against such Designated Borrower under any Bankruptcy Law, or otherwise, to the extent permitted by Law, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Company immediately upon demand by the Agent.

------

**Section 9.09. <u>Expenses.</u>**

The Company shall pay within ten (10) days of demand therefor all reasonable out-of- pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of outside counsel but excluding the allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of any Lender's rights under this Company Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any expenses incurred during any "workout" or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any expenses incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of such Lender in any proceeding under or related to any Bankruptcy Law. The obligations of the Company under this <u>Section 9.09</u> shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Company Guaranty.

**Section 9.10. <u>Miscellaneous.</u>**

The Agent's or any Lender's books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Guaranteed Obligations therein recorded. No failure by any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided under this Company Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Company Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) and the Company in writing, this Company Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by the Company for the benefit of any Lender or any term or provision thereof.

**Section 9.11. <u>Condition of Borrowers.</u>**

The Company acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Designated Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of such Designated Borrower as the Company requires, and that no Lender has any duty, and the Company is not relying on any Lender at any time, to disclose to the Company any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Designated Borrower.

**Section 9.12. <u>Limitation on Obligations Guaranteed</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;(a)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against the Company under this **<u>Article IX</u>** shall be limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the Company without rendering such Company's obligations under this **<u>Article IX</u>** void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law, in each case after giving full effect to the liability under such guarantee set forth in this **<u>Article IX</u>** and its related contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities under any other guarantee by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, all guarantees of the Company other

------

than the guarantee under this **<u>Article IX</u>** will be deemed to be enforceable and payable after the guaranty under this **<u>Article IX</u>**. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this **<u>Section</u> <u>9.12(a)</u>** shall be for the benefit solely of creditors and representatives of creditors of the Company and not for the benefit of the Company or the holders of any Equity Interest in the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Company agrees that Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of the Company under **<u>Section 9.12(a)</u>** without impairing the guarantee contained in this **<u>Article IX</u>** or affecting the rights and remedies of the Agent and each Lender hereunder.

**[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;], 202[ ]**

This Solvency Certificate (this "<u>Certificate</u>") is delivered pursuant to Section [ ] of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 16, 2024 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "<u>Credit Agreement</u>"), by and among TD SYNNEX Corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), TD Synnex UK Acquisition Limited, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto designated as borrowers, the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., as the Agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

I, [<u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>], the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), DO HEREBY CERTIFY on behalf of the Company that as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such facts and circumstances after the date hereof), that:

Section 1.For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)"<u>Fair Value</u>"

The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)"<u>Present Fair Salable Value</u>"

The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm's-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)"<u>Liabilities</u>"

The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Restated Date Revolving Loan and Restatement Date Prepayment (the "<u>A&R Transaction</u>"), determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)"<u>Will be able to pay their Liabilities as they mature</u>"

------

On the Restatement Date, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the A&R Transactions, the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis taken as a whole will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable, in light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)"<u>Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital</u>"

On the Restatment Date, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the A&R Transactions, the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis taken as a whole is a going concern and will not have unreasonably small capital. I understand that "unreasonably small capital" depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Company that after giving effect to the consummation of the A&R Transactions, it is my opinion that, as of the date hereof, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the A&R Transactions, (i) the Fair Value of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis taken as a whole exceeds their Liabilities; (ii) the Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis taken as a whole exceeds their Liabilities; (iii) the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iv) the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Liabilities as they mature.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, the undersigned has made such investigations and inquiries as the undersigned has deemed appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries after consummation of the Transactions.
