**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On February 10, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), Fermi Inc. (the "Company") successfully consummated a strategic financing (the "MUFG Equipment Financing") with MUFG Bank, Ltd. ("MUFG"), one of the 10 largest financial groups, in accordance with its previously disclosed capital plan to support the development of its AI-powered data center campus in Amarillo, Texas ("Project Matador"). The MUFG Equipment Financing enables the Company to fund the acquisition of three Siemens Energy F-class gas turbine units and related equipment for Project Matador, refinance the Company's existing term loan facility, and support the delivery, construction, and deployment of turbines across Fermi's existing fleet. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

*Generally*

On February 10, 2026, Fermi Turbine Warehouse LLC, a Texas limited liability company and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Borrower"), entered into an Equipment Supply Loan Financing Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Firebird Equipment Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as subsidiary guarantor (the "Subsidiary Guarantor"), and MUFG, as administrative agent for the lenders (in such capacity, "Administrative Agent") and sole lender.

The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured equipment loan warehouse facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000,000 (the "Total Loan Commitment"). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be made from the Closing Date through the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date. Each loan under the Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, the Term SOFR rate for the applicable interest period plus 4.0% per annum, or (ii) in the case of RFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR plus 4.0% per annum.

 

*Use of Proceeds*

Proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement may be used to (i) pay equipment acquisition costs or make distributions to the Company or its affiliates to reimburse for equipment acquisition costs paid prior to the Closing Date, (ii) pay fees and transaction costs, (iii) fund required reserve accounts, and (iv) make distributions to the Company to repay existing indebtedness of the Company or its affiliates in respect of qualified equipment to be financed under the Credit Agreement. Proceeds of borrowings on the Closing Date in respect of Siemens Energy F-Class Equipment will be used, in part, to make a payment to Siemens Energy in an amount equal to $168,300,000 pursuant to the applicable equipment purchase agreement.

*Maturity and Repayment*

The loans under the Credit Agreement mature on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Borrower is required to repay (i) on each quarterly payment date, the minimum principal payment then due and owing, and (ii) on the loan maturity date, the remaining unpaid principal amount of all loans plus any other obligations under the financing documents. Prior to the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date, no minimum principal payment is due. Thereafter, the minimum principal payment is (a) 10% of the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding if no lease or offtake agreement with respect to the first phase of Project Matador for at least 400 MW of power has been signed prior to the nine-month anniversary of the Credit Agreement, or (b) 5% of the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding if such a lease or offtake agreement has been signed prior to such anniversary.

The loans under the Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid at any time (subject to customary minimum amounts) without penalty or premium other than any customary breakage amounts. The Credit Agreement requires customary mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain events, including casualty losses and dispositions of equipment or other collateral assets, in each case, in amounts calculated pursuant to the formula and valuation criteria set forth in the Credit Agreement.

*Security and Guaranty*

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by, among other things, (i) a pledge by Borrower's parent, Fermi Turbine HoldCo LLC, a Texas limited liability company, of 100% of its membership interests in the Borrower, (ii) a security interest in all assets of the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor, including all equipment, and (iii) all of Borrower's collateral accounts and amounts on deposit therein.

*Financial and Other Covenants*

The Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of each loan party to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) create liens on assets other than permitted liens, (iii) make certain investments, (iv) sell, lease, or transfer assets except as permitted, (v) make distributions other than as provided in the account agreement, (vi) engage in transactions with affiliates, and (vii) permit a change of control.

*Loan-to-Value Requirements*

The Credit Agreement imposes loan-to-value requirements on the collateral. The target loan-to-value ratio for delivered equipment is 65%, and the target loan-to-value ratio for undelivered equipment is 55%. If the loan-to-value ratio exceeds the applicable target ratio for more than thirty consecutive days following an updated appraisal with a value more than 2% lower than the initial appraisal for such equipment, an event of default will occur unless the applicable shortfall amount is paid within such thirty-day period.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Administrative Agent shall record in the Register (A) the Commitments and the Loans from time to time of each Lender, including any transfers thereof made in accordance with <u>Section 10.14</u>, (B) the interest rates applicable to all Loans and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (C) the Interest Period for each Loan, (D) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (E) each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender, (F) the Fees and other fees payable by Borrower hereunder from time to time, (G) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof and (H) such other information as Administrative Agent may determine is necessary for administering the Loans and this Agreement. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that neither failure to make any such recordation, nor any error in such recordation, shall affect any Lender's Commitments or Borrower's obligations in respect of any applicable Loans or otherwise; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>however</u>, except as set forth above, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

&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>Promissory Notes</u>. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans made by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein, if requested by any Lender, shall be evidenced by promissory notes in the form of <u>Exhibit B</u> (individually, a "<u>Note</u>," and collectively, the "<u>Notes</u>"), and each payable to such Lender and in the principal amount of such Lender's Loan Commitment. Borrower authorizes each Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such Lender's Note the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender and each payment or prepayment of principal thereunder and Borrower agrees that all such notations shall constitute *prima facie* evidence of the accuracy of the matters noted; <u>provided</u> that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall govern; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that none of (i) the failure to make any such notation, (ii) any error in such notation or (iii) any Lender's decision not to require a Note shall affect the validity of Borrower's obligations to repay the full unpaid principal amount of the Loans or the other obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Any reduction (by repayment, prepayment or otherwise) in the principal amount of the Loans outstanding shall discharge pro tanto the equivalent face amount of the Notes evidencing such Loans.

Upon payment in full in cash of the Loan evidenced in a Note, the applicable Lender shall promptly cancel and return such Note to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of a cancelled Note, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such cancelled Note to the Borrower.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loans to be made by such other Lenders on such 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;(iv) <u>Availability of Funds</u>.

or as otherwise directed by Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date on which such payment is due. Any payment made after such time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Banking Day after such payment is received. Administrative Agent shall disburse to each Lender each such payment received by Administrative Agent for such Lender, such disbursement to occur by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the day such payment is received if received by 12:00 noon, New York time; and otherwise on the next Banking 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;(b) <u>Date</u>. Subject to <u>Section 2.2</u>, whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, 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;(c) <u>Late Payments</u>. If any amounts required to be paid by Borrower under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (including principal or interest payable on any Loan, and any fees or other amounts otherwise payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender) remain unpaid after such amounts are due, Borrower shall pay, upon written demand, interest on the aggregate, outstanding balance of such amounts from the date due until those amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate.

&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>Net of Taxes, Etc</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;(i) <u>Taxes</u>. Any and all payments to or for the benefit of Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall be made free and clear of any Taxes and without withholding, deduction, setoff or counterclaim of any kind whatsoever unless required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.5(d)), the applicable Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. In addition, Borrower agrees to timely pay, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Indemnity</u>. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>) paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any liability (including any reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5(d)(ii)</u> shall be made within ten (10) days from the date Administrative Agent or such Lender makes written demand therefor (submitted through Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability that will be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to repay to Borrower any refund (including that portion of any interest that was included as part of such refund with respect to Indemnified Taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>) that such Person determines in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it received with respect to Indemnified Taxes that were paid by Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>. This <u>Section 2.5(d)</u> shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person or to make any payment that would leave it in a worse net after-tax position than it would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to a refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Notice</u>. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in <u>Section 11.1(a)</u>, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or if such receipt is not obtainable, other evidence of such payment by Borrower reasonably satisfactory to 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;(iv) <u>Survival of Obligations</u>. The obligations under this <u>Section 2.5(d)</u> and <u>Section 2.5(f)</u> below shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>Defined Terms</u>. For purposes of this <u>Section 2.5(d)</u> and <u>Section 2.5(f)</u>, the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Failure to Pay Administrative Agent</u>. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to Administrative Agent, such Lender shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith upon 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 Administrative Agent, at a rate equal to Term SOFR. A certificate of Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing by such Lender under this <u>Section 2.5(e)</u> shall be conclusive in the absence of 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;(f) <u>Status 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;(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Financing Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative 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>Sections 2.5(f)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>2.5(f)(ii)(B)</u> and <u>2.5(f)(ii)(D)</u> below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), copies of executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Financing Document, copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Financing Document, IRS Form W-8BEN (or, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) copies of executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit J-1</u> to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "<u>U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate</u>") and (y) copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable); 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit J-2</u> or <u>Exhibit J-3</u>, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; <u>provided</u> that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit J-4</u> on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), copies of executed versions of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; 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;(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this <u>clause (D)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. If Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date, (A) two duly completed copies of executed Form W-8ECI to establish that Administrative Agent is not subject to withholding Taxes under the Code with respect to any amounts payable for the account of Administrative Agent under any of the Financing Documents and (B) two duly completed copies of executed Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a "U.S. branch" and that the payments it receives for the account of others under the Financing Documents are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that such Form W-8IMY evidences its agreement with Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments such that Borrower can make payments to Administrative Agent under the Financing Documents without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal income tax under Section 1441 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower and Administrative Agent agree to treat Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to all payments under the Financing 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;(g) <u>Pro Rata Treatment</u>. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) the Loans and each reduction of the Loan Commitment shall be made or allocated among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares and (ii) each payment of principal and interest on Loans shall be made or shared among the Lenders holding such Loans pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by such 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;(h) <u>Sharing of Payments, Etc</u>. If any Lender (a "<u>Benefited Bank</u>") shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Obligations (or interest thereon) owed to it, in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of such Obligations owed to all Lenders entitled to such payments pursuant with this Agreement, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Obligations, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; and if after taking into account such participations the Benefited Bank continues to have access to additional funds of Borrower for application on account of its debt, then the Benefited Bank shall use such funds to reduce indebtedness of Borrower held by it and share such payments with the other Lenders; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from such Lender shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other 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. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5(h)</u> may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

&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>Application of Payments</u>. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, all payments made under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents and all other amounts received by Administrative Agent, Depositary and the other Lenders under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents shall be applied as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) *first*, to any fees, costs, charges or expenses payable to Administrative Agent, Depositary, and the Lenders hereunder or under the other Financing Documents (such application to be made on a *pro rata* basis among such Persons);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) *second*, to any accrued but unpaid interest then due and owing in respect of the Obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) *third*, to outstanding principal then due and owing or otherwise to be prepaid in respect of the Obligations; 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;(D) *fourth*, to such other Obligations as remain outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 <u>Change of Circumstances</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;(a) <u>Inability to Determine Term SOFR</u>. Subject to <u>Section 2.6(d)</u>, if, on or prior to the first day of Interest Period for any Loan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Administrative Agent, then, in each case, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by Administrative Agent to Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Loans, and any right of Borrower to request or continue Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Loans or affected Interest Periods) until Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (B), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of Loans (to the extent of the affected Loans or affected Interest Periods).

&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>Illegality</u>. If, after the date of this Agreement, any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower (through Administrative Agent) (an "<u>Illegality Notice</u>"), any obligation of the Lenders to make Loans, and any right of Borrower to request or continue Loans shall be suspended. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay all Loans on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 2.7</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;(c) <u>Increased Costs</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;(i) <u>Increased Costs Generally</u>. If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as "Eurocurrency liabilities" in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

Borrower shall provide written notice to Administrative Agent of any cancellation of such policy of liability insurance. Borrower shall cause all insurance proceeds to be applied in accordance with <u>Section 2.2(g)(iv)(B)</u> and Section 3.1 of the Account 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;(c) In conjunction with the renewal or replacement of any insurance policies required to be procured and maintained hereunder, Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) certificates of insurance from its brokers, evidencing the renewal and scope of such insurance complying with this <u>Section 5.14</u>; 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;(ii) a certificate from Borrower's broker confirming that such insurance is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this <u>Section 5.14</u>, is in full force and effect and all premiums then due have been paid or are not in arrears.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Upon reasonable prior written request, Borrower will (i) permit Administrative Agent to inspect copies of all insurance policies at Borrower's office during normal business hours and (ii) furnish Administrative Agent with copies of all binders and cover notes or other evidence of such insurance relating to the insurance required to be maintained hereunder. Administrative Agent shall have no duty to determine whether the insurance maintained by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In the event any insurance required by this <u>Section 5.14</u> to be maintained (including the limits or deductibles thereof), other than insurance required by law to be maintained, shall not be available on commercially reasonable terms in the commercial insurance market, then so long as and to the extent such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms, other similar insurance or another risk management tool shall be obtained and maintained, if available on commercially reasonable terms; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that self-insurance shall be subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that Borrower provides a written report of Borrower's insurance broker, the Insurance Consultant, or another independent insurance broker of nationally-recognized standing in the insurance industry (i) certifying that such insurance is not available on commercially reasonable terms and, if applicable, that the insurance (or other risk management tool) provided by Borrower is similar and available on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) explaining the basis for such broker's conclusions, and (iii) containing such other information as the Lenders or the Insurance Consultant may reasonably request. Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties) shall deliver an updated written report required pursuant to the proviso set forth in this paragraph on an annual basis (or otherwise certify no changes from the prior written report to the extent applicable). For the purposes of this <u>Section 5.14,</u> insurance will be considered "not available on commercially reasonable terms" if it is obtainable only at excessive costs which are not justifiable in terms of the risk to be insured (or is not available) and/or generally not being carried by or applicable to the Equipment or the conduct of business and assets similar to that of Borrower because of such excessive costs or unavailability.

No provision of this <u>Section 5.14</u> or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document shall impose on the Lenders any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by any Loan Party, nor shall the Lenders be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of a Loan Party, or any other party to any insurance company or underwriter. Any failure on the part of the Lenders to pursue or obtain the evidence of insurance required by this Agreement from Borrower (or any other Loan Party) and/or failure of the Lenders to point out any non-compliance of such evidence of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of any of the insurance requirements in this Agreement, including without limitation this <u>Section 5.14</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;5.15 <u>Warranty of Title</u>.

Each Loan Party shall from time to time deliver to Administrative Agent all documents and instruments reasonably requested by it in respect of any proceedings resulting from an Event of Eminent Domain. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to participate in any such proceedings to the extent such Loan Party has rights to participate 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;(a) maintaining its own entity records and accounts, separate from those of Pledgor and its Affiliates;

&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) conducting its affairs separately from those of Pledgor or any of its respective Affiliates and maintaining accurate and separate books, records and accounts;

&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) acting solely in its own name as a limited liability company and not that of any other Person, including Pledgor or any of its respective Affiliates, in a manner not misleading to other Persons as to its identity;

&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) not commingling its funds or assets with those of Pledgor or any of its Affiliates;

&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) holding itself out as a separate entity; 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;(f) correcting any known understanding regarding its separate existence;

it being understood and agreed, that immaterial breaches of this <u>Section 5.17</u> that (i) are not, in the aggregate, misleading as to the identity of such Person, (ii) could not reasonably call into question the corporate separateness of a Loan Party from its Affiliates and (iii) otherwise do not undermine the purpose intended to be served by the provisions of this <u>Section 5.17</u> shall not, in each of clauses (a) through (f) above, be deemed a breach of this <u>Section 5.17</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;5.18 <u>Indemnification</u>. Without duplication of any Loan Party's obligations under <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>, <u>2.6(c), 2.6(d)</u> or <u>11.4</u> (and excluding any items or events specifically excluded from the Loan Parties' obligations thereunder):

&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>Indemnity</u>. Each Loan Party shall pay, indemnify, and hold each Secured Party and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates (each, an "<u>Indemnified Person</u>") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of their counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, including the Collateral Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to the exercise by any Secured Party of any of its respective rights or remedies under any of the Financing Documents, and any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to this Agreement or any other Financing Document or the Loans, or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not the same are brought by a Loan Party, its direct or indirect equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person (all the foregoing, collectively, the "<u>Indemnified Liabilities</u>"); <u>provided</u>, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT THE INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARISE AS THE RESULT OF THE SOLE OR JOINT NEGLIGENCE OF ANY PARTY SO INDEMNIFIED.

&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>Defense of Claim</u>. To the extent that a Loan Party is unable or unwilling to assume the defense of any claim for which indemnification is required pursuant to the provisions of clause (a) of this <u>Section 5.18</u> (an "<u>Indemnified Claim</u>") for a period of thirty (30) days following written demand therefor by an Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain separate legal counsel of its own choice to conduct the defense and all related matters in connection with any such litigation, proceeding or other action; <u>provided</u> that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain separate counsel whether or not such Loan Party is able or willing to assume the defense of any such litigation, proceeding or other action if and to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnified Person and its counsel, such action, suit or proceeding (i) involves the potential imposition of criminal liability upon such Indemnified Person or a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Person and such Loan Party or between such Indemnified Person and another Indemnified Person (unless such conflict of interest is waived in writing by the affected Indemnified Persons) or (ii) involves any risk reasonably likely to result in the loss of any license or permit or other authorization necessary for such Indemnified Person to continue its business as presently conducted. The Loan Parties shall pay the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees and expenses of such legal counsel (other than with respect to disputes between Indemnified Persons), and such legal counsel shall to the fullest extent consistent with its professional responsibilities cooperate with the Loan Parties and any legal counsel designated by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall report to the relevant Indemnified Person on the status of any such action, suit or proceeding the defense of which it has assumed as material developments shall occur and from time to time as requested by such Indemnified Person (but not more frequently than once every sixty (60) days). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Loan Party shall, in connection with any one legal proceeding or claim, or separate but related proceedings or claims arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances in which there is no conflict of interest between the affected Indemnified Persons or any such conflict of interest is waived in writing by the affected Indemnified Persons, be liable to the Indemnified Persons (or any of them) under any of the provisions hereof for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (which firm shall be selected by Borrower with the prior written approval of the affected Indemnified Persons, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or upon failure to so select, by the affected Indemnified Persons). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent, or limit the ability of, any Indemnified Person to retain its own separate legal counsel or pursue or assert any defense or argument, in each case solely at its own expense.

&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>Settlement, Compromise</u>. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Inchoate Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and provided the Indemnified Claim does not involve the potential imposition of criminal liability upon such Indemnified Person, no Indemnified Person may compromise or settle any Indemnified Claim involving such Indemnified Person, the defense of which such Indemnified Person has assumed, other than at such Indemnified Person's own expense, without Borrower's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); <u>provided</u> that in no event shall Borrower or any of its Affiliates be required, in connection with the compromise or settlement of any Indemnified Claim by an Indemnified Person, to admit any guilt, culpability or complicity, or incur any civil or criminal liability, without the prior written consent of Borrower or such Affiliate of Borrower, as the case may be, which consent may be granted, conditioned or withheld in such Person's sole discretion. Borrower further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Persons, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability and obligations that are the subject matter of such action.

&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>Subrogation</u>. Upon payment of any Indemnified Claim by any Loan Party pursuant to the provisions hereof to or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, such Loan Party, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnified Person may have relating thereto, and such Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with such Loan Party and give such further reasonable assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable such Loan Party to vigorously pursue such claims.

&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>Contribution</u>. In the event that the indemnity provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless, then, provided such payment is not prohibited by or contrary to any applicable law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute to amounts paid or payable by an Indemnified Person in respect of such Indemnified Person's Indemnified Claims as to which the indemnity provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient in such proportion as appropriately reflects (i) the relative benefits received or expected to be received by Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the relative fault of Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Person, on the other hand in connection with the acts or omissions which have resulted in the Indemnified Claim, and (iii) any other equitable considerations. Borrower and the Secured Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions to be made by Borrower pursuant to this clause (e) were to be determined by any method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to 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;(f) <u>Survival; Defense</u>. The obligations in this <u>Section 5.18</u> shall survive payment of the Loans and all other Obligations. At the election of any Indemnified Person, the Loan Parties' indemnification obligations under this <u>Section 5.18</u> shall include the obligation to defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties subject to the provisions of this <u>Section 5.18</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;(a) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes MUFG to act as its Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Financing Document, and shall not be a trustee for, or fiduciary of, any Lender or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Financing Documents or any Legal Requirement or exposes Administrative Agent to any liability. None of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or Pledgor or its respective Affiliates contained in this Agreement or any other Financing Document or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent, Depositary or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Financing Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by any Loan Party or of Pledgor or its respective Affiliates to perform its respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

&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) None of Administrative Agent nor its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Financing Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Loan Parties), independent public accountants and other experts of reputable standard selected by Administrative Agent with reasonable care and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any other Secured Party for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Operative Document; (iv) other than with respect to items expressly required to be delivered, or payments made, to it, shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Operative Document on the part of any party thereto or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party or any other Person; and (v) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Operative Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or 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;10.2 <u>Reliance by Administrative Agent</u>.

Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document reasonably believed by Administrative Agent to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any other matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders or, where expressly provided, all of the Lenders (except that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any Legal Requirement) and shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Financing Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where so expressly stated, all of the Lenders), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, where applicable) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and all of the Secured 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;10.3 <u>Non-Reliance</u>.

Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of Pledgor and the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. None of Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party or Pledgor or any of their Affiliates under this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any Loan Party or Pledgor or any of their Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4 <u>Defaults</u>.

Administrative Agent (acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not in any other capacity) shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Inchoate Default or Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or Borrower, referring to this Agreement, describing such Inchoate Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a "notice of default." If Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Inchoate Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as is provided in <u>Article 7</u> or if not provided for in <u>Article 7</u>, as Administrative Agent shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, where so expressly stated, all of the Lenders); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as it shall promptly deem advisable in the best interest of the Secured 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;10.5 <u>Indemnification</u>.

To the extent not reimbursed within thirty (30) days following demand for payment by or on behalf of Borrower, without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and Depositary, ratably in accordance with its Proportionate Share for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or Depositary, as applicable, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Financing Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or Depositary, as applicable, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action hereunder unless 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. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Proportionate Share of any reasonable third party and out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Operative Documents, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed promptly for such expenses by the Loan 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;10.6 <u>Successor Administrative Agent.</u>

Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days' written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, such resignation to be effective only upon the acceptance of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may be removed involuntarily only for a material breach of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Financing Documents or for gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or under the other Financing Documents and then only upon the affirmative vote of the Required Lenders (excluding Administrative Agent from such vote and Administrative Agent's Proportionate Share of the Loans and Commitment from the amounts used to determine the portion of the Loans and Commitment necessary to constitute the required Proportionate Share of the remaining Lenders). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which consent shall be provided with respect to at least one of the Lenders. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least one hundred million Dollars ($100,000,000). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the Operative Documents by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to such retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent only under the Financing Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder and under the Loan Documents as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this <u>Article 10</u> shall inure to the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent under the Operative 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;10.7 <u>Authorization</u>. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender and each other Secured Party agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in the Financing Documents. Administrative Agent is further authorized by the Lenders to enter into agreements supplemental hereto with any Person for the purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement or any other Financing Document to which it is a party (without any consent or approval by 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;10.8 <u>Other Rights and Power of Administrative Agent</u>.

With respect to its Commitment, the Loans made by it and any Note issued to it, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Operative Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent. The term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any other Person, without any duty to account therefor to 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;10.9 <u>Amendments</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;(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including <u>Section 2.6(d)</u> and <u>Section 2.6(e)</u> and this <u>Section ‎10.9</u>), no provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived, except by a written instrument signed by the Required Lenders and each Loan Party and Pledgor, and, to the extent that its rights or obligations may be affected thereby, Administrative Agent or Depositary, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of mandatory prepayments, conditions precedent, covenants, Inchoate Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender), without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) postpone or delay the scheduled final maturity date of any Loans, without the prior written consent of each Lender, or postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Financing Document for any payment of principal, interest or fees due to any Lender hereunder or under any other Financing Document, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate or amount of interest or fees specified in any Financing Document on, the Loans of any Lender, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby (excluding any waiver of the application of the Default Rate), (iv) release a material portion of the Collateral except as shall be otherwise provided in any Collateral Document or other Financing Document or consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party or Pledgor of any of its respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of this <u>Section 10.9</u>, <u>Sections 2.5(h)</u> or <u>(i)</u>, <u>11.4</u> or <u>5.18</u> or any other provision hereunder or the other Financing Documents providing for the ratable treatment of Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (vi) postpone or delay the date on which any amounts are required to be paid or reduce or waive the amount required to be paid on such date without the prior written consent of each Lender, (vii) reduce the percentage specified in or otherwise amend the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to approve or consent to any action, in each of the foregoing cases, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (viii) subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the Obligations to any other Debt, or subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the Liens securing the Obligations to Liens securing any other Debt, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ix) amend or modify the definition of "Change of Control" without the prior written consent of each Lender or (x) amend, modify of waive any provision of the Financing Documents that specifically requires the consent of a Lender without the prior written consent 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;(b) Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification made or entered into in accordance with <u>Section 10.9(a)</u> shall be binding upon Pledgor, each Loan Party, Administrative Agent and 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;(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent, with the consent of Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement any Financing Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Financing Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.10 <u>Withholding Tax</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;(a) Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax.

&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 IRS or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction is successful in establishing a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall promptly indemnify Administrative Agent and/or Borrower, as applicable, fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Person as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs, and any out of pocket expenses, in each case to the extent arising from such Lender's failure to deliver or properly execute such form or to so notify Administrative Agent or other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants participations in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the participant shall comply and be bound by the terms of <u>Sections 2.5(d)</u>, <u>2.5(f)</u>, <u>10.10(a)</u> and <u>10.10(b)</u> as though it were such Lender. The participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>, than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold, assigned or granted to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment result from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.11 <u>General Provision as to Payments</u>.

Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share of each payment of principal and interest payable to the Lenders on the Loans and of fees hereunder received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and of any other amounts owing under the Loans. The payments made for the account of each Lender shall be made, and distributed to it, for the account of its domestic or foreign lending office, as each Lender may designate in writing to Administrative Agent. Lenders shall have the right to alter designated lending offices upon written notice to Administrative Agent and 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;10.12 <u>Substitution of a Lender</u>.

Should any Lender fail to make a Loan, or provide the forms or other documentation required by <u>Section 2.5(f)</u> in violation of its obligations under this Agreement, or be unable to make Loans due to an event occurring under <u>Section 2.8(a)</u> or <u>Section 2.6(b)</u>, or claim increased costs under <u>Section 2.6(a)</u>, <u>Section 2.6(c)</u> or <u>Section 2.6(d),</u> make a claim for Taxes or additional amounts under <u>Section 2.5(d)</u>, or does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document that requires the consent of the Lenders or the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained) (a "<u>Substitutable Lender</u>"), then (a) Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion fund the Loan on behalf of the Substitutable Lender and (b) Borrower or Administrative Agent may replace such Lender (in accordance with the mechanics described in <u>Section 10.14</u>) and Administrative Agent shall cooperate with Borrower or any other Lender to find another Person that shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and that shall be willing to assume the Substitutable Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including the obligation to make the Loan which the Substitutable Lender failed to make but without assuming any liability for damages for failing to have made such Loan or any previously required Loan); <u>provided</u> that (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addressee and related information with respect to the Substitutable Lender, shall have been given to Administrative Agent by such Substitutable Lender, (ii) the assignee entering into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to <u>Section 10.14</u> shall have paid to Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500), and (iii) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit N</u> hereto with respect to such assignment from the assigning Lender. Subject to the provisions of the next following sentence, such Person shall be substituted for the Substitutable Lender hereunder upon execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an agreement reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent by such Person assuming the Substitutable Lender's obligations under this Agreement, and all interest and fees which would otherwise have been payable to the Substitutable Lender shall thereafter be payable to such Person. Nothing in (and no action taken pursuant to) this <u>Section</u> <u>10.12</u> shall relieve the Substitutable Lender from any liability it might have to Borrower or to the other Lenders as a result of its failure to make such Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Substitutable Lender being substituted hereunder shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Obligations owing to it (to the extent of the outstanding principal, accrued fees and other amounts, as applicable, included in the Obligations) from either Borrower or the assignee of the Substitutable 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;10.13 <u>Participations</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;(a) <u>Generally</u>. Nothing herein provided shall prevent any Lender from selling a participation in its Commitment (and Loans made thereunder) without the prior written consent of Borrower; <u>provided</u> that (i) no such sale of a participation shall alter such Lender's obligations hereunder and (ii) any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant a participation in its rights with respect to its Commitment (and Loans or other Obligations) shall provide that, with respect to such Commitment (and Loans or other Obligations), such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise the rights of such Lender, and enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to such Commitment (and Loans or other Obligations), including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document and the right to take action to have the Notes declared due and payable pursuant to <u>Article 7</u>. No recipient of a participation in any Commitment or Loans of any Lender shall have any rights 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;(b) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Financing Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any Loans under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan is in registered form under Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5(b) (or 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.14 <u>Transfer of Loans</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;(a) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any Lender, after receiving the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (no such consent of Administrative Agent is required for an assignment by a Lender to any of its Affiliates, to any other Lender or to an Approved Fund) and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower, such consent not to unreasonably withheld or delayed and which shall be deemed provided if the Borrower does not respond within ten (10) Banking Days after the consent request (no such consent of Borrower is required for an assignment following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or by a Lender to any of its Affiliates, to any other Lender or to an Approved Fund), may from time to time, at its option, sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or otherwise dispose of a portion of the Loans made hereunder, including the Lender's interest in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents to any bank or other financial institution; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no Lender (including any assignee of any Lender) may assign any portion of its Loans of less than five million Dollars ($5,000,000) (unless to any of its Affiliates or another Lender) or which leaves the assigning Lender with a Loan of less than five million Dollars ($5,000,000) after giving effect to such assignment and all previous assignments (except that a Lender may be left with no Loans if it assigns its entire Loans (and has not assigned any of its Loans to an Affiliate in contemplation of such assignment)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event of any such assignment, (i) the assigning Lender's Proportionate Share shall be reduced by the amount of the Proportionate Share assigned to the new lender; (ii) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver an appropriate agreement evidencing such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition and shall cause to be paid to Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500) (<u>provided</u> that such processing fee shall not apply with respect to such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition to a Lender's Affiliate or to any other Lender); and (iii) at the assigning Lender's option, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such new lender new Notes in the forms attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B</u>, in a principal amount equal to its Proportionate Share of the Loans being assigned, and Borrower shall execute and exchange with the assigning Lender a replacement note for any Note in a principal amount equal to the Proportionate Share of the Loans retained by the Lender, if any. No assignment of Loans by any Lender shall be effective unless and until it is recorded in the Register. Thereafter, such new lender shall be deemed to be a Lender and shall have all of the rights and duties of a Lender (except as otherwise provided in this <u>Article 10</u>), in accordance with its Proportionate Share, under each of the Financing 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;10.15 <u>Laws</u>.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this <u>Article 10</u>, no sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or other disposition of the interests of any Lender hereunder or under the other Financing Documents shall be allowed if it would require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any other federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction. Borrower shall, from time to time at the request and expense of Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, or to such party or parties as Administrative Agent may designate, any and all further instruments and take such further actions as may in the opinion of Administrative Agent be reasonably necessary or advisable to give full force and effect to such disposition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.16 <u>Assignability to Federal Reserve Bank</u>.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Financing Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or any portion of the Loans or Notes held by it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or to any central bank authority in accordance with applicable law; <u>provided</u> that any payment in respect of such assigned Loans or Notes made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Loans or Notes to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations 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;10.17 <u>Exercise of Discretion</u>.

To the extent that Administrative Agent has the right to exercise discretion, make determinations or take actions pursuant to provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, such Agent hereby agrees that if, in any specific instance of exercising such discretion, making such determinations or taking such action, such Agent receives written instructions from the Required Lenders, such Agent in such instance will exercise such discretion, make such determinations and take such actions in accordance with the written instructions from the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders agree that until Administrative Agent receives written instructions from the Required Lenders, such Agent may reasonably exercise discretion, make determinations and take actions and that such Agent shall have no obligation to seek any such written instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.18 <u>Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claim</u>.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to Administrative Agent or a Lender, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding 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;(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder allowed in such judicial proceeding); 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;(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.19 <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;(a) If Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a "<u>Payment Recipient</u>") that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding <u>clause (b)</u>) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from 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 in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment and shall be segregated on its books and records by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of 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 Banking Days thereafter, return to 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 Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this <u>clause (a)</u> 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;(b) Without limiting immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, each Lender, or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding <u>clauses (x)</u> or <u>(y)</u>, an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) in the case of immediately preceding <u>clause (z)</u>, an error has been made, 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;(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 Banking Day of its knowledge of such error) notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Administrative Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 10.19(b)</u>.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "<u>Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency</u>"), upon Administrative Agent's notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "<u>Erroneous Payment Impacted Class</u>") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "<u>Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment</u>") at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform (as defined below) as to which Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, 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) Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans 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 proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Financing 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;(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Loan Party; <u>provided</u> that this Section 10.19 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of any Loan Party relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that this clause (e) shall not apply 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 Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Financing Document), any Loan Party for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 or defense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this <u>Section 10.19</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of 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 Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Financing Document.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable under its guaranty set forth in this ‎Section 12.1(a), without any limitation as to amount, for all present and future Obligations, including specifically all future increases, whether or not any such increase is committed, contemplated or provided for by the Financing Documents on the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor's liability shall extend to all Obligations that would be owed by any other Person in respect of the Obligations but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of proceedings under any bankruptcy laws or other debtor relief laws involving such Person.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in ‎Section 10.1, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the Guaranty or any property subject thereto.

Section 12.3 <u>Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional</u>.

**Leading Global Power and Infrastructure Financial Institution MUFG Backs Fermi America<sup>TM</sup> with $500 Million Equipment Loan to Accelerate 11GW Private Energy Campus**

● MUFG Boasts Deep Experience Supporting Large-Scale Energy Projects Worldwide

● Prepares Fermi America<sup>TM</sup> to Deliver on First 2.3GW of Power in Years Ahead

(AMARILLO, Texas) February 10, 2026: Fermi Inc. (d/b/a Fermi America) (Nasdaq & LSE: FRMI), operating as Fermi America<sup>TM</sup>, in partnership with the Texas Tech University System, announced today that it has secured a $500 million financing commitment from MUFG Bank, Ltd. (MUFG), one of the 10 largest global financial groups. MUFG's financing serves as a solid institutional backing of Fermi America's strategy and further strengthens the ability to deliver the first 2.3 of 11 gigawatts of long-duration, reliable power at scale.

MUFG is the global project finance leader providing tailored solutions to clients for power generation, digital infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, and natural resources. MUFG has extensive experience leading multi-billion-dollar project financing for large-scale power and data center developments.

Proceeds from the financing will be used to fund the acquisition of three Siemens Energy F-class gas turbines (previously announced), a proven industrial frame class asset widely deployed across large-scale, mission-critical power infrastructure globally. Fermi America also recognizes Siemens Energy for its partnership and support in securing these long-lead, high-demand gas generation assets, which are central to its near-term power delivery timeline. Fermi America will use remaining loan proceeds to repay a pre-existing loan and initiate the delivery, complete construction, and deployment of additional turbines within Fermi's fleet. The transaction strengthens near-term execution certainty and enhances Fermi America's positioning for future project-level financing as the platform scales.

The financing follows a rapid period of execution since Fermi America's launch. In just 150 days, Fermi America has advanced licensing, secured long-term site control, brought in top-tier construction partners, strengthened its capital base, and accelerated key infrastructure to support the delivery of clean, reliable power at scale.

**Key Financing Highlights**

● $500 million non-recourse turbine "warehouse" facility with MUFG

● Repeatable structure designed to support future gigawatt-scale equipment purchases prior to project financing

● Satisfies the acquisition of three Siemens Energy SGT6-5000F turbines

● Turbine deliveries beginning as early as 1H 2026

● Solidifies over 2 gigawatts of total controlled generation capacity

"This financing puts real muscle behind our strategy - securing long-lead equipment early, staying ahead of the market, and executing with certainty," said Toby Neugebauer, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Fermi America. "We're doing what most people said was unthinkable - and we're doing it at Fermi speed."

"MUFG has been an exceptional partner throughout this process," affirmed John Donovan, Executive Vice President of Capital Markets for Fermi America. "They recognized the importance of execution certainty and coordinated globally across multiple teams to deliver the financing on an accelerated timeline. The agreement reflects not only strong execution, but a deepening relationship that we look forward to expanding across the institution as we continue to scale our platform."

 

*"*MUFG is pleased to support the early stage of Fermi America's buildout with this equipment financing, marking an initial step toward what will become the largest power and AI datacenter campus," said Daniel Seltzer, Head of Infrastructure, Project Finance and Terry McKay, International Co-Head of Global Structured Solutions of MUFG. "We're impressed by what the Fermi team has achieved so far and by the pace at which they're moving. We look forward to continuing our collaboration in the years ahead."
