Pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture, beginning on the first Payment Date specified above, payments will be made on the 25th calendar day of each March, June, September and December of each year or, if any such 25th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”) to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Note and the amount required to be paid to all the Holders of the Class of Notes of this Series to which this Note belongs on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Base Indenture.  All payments made under the Base Indenture on this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee from funds available therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if this Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments)[NTD: trust accounts can only accept immediately available funds].  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Note Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment.
This Note shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period on the daily average Note Principal Balance of this Note as determined by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent.  Accrued Note Interest on this Note shall be calculated on an Actual/360 Basis; provided, that the Accrued Note Interest shall be deemed to include any commitment fees and administrative expenses payable in respect thereof.
As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Collection Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Noteholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Notes and the payment of interest on such advances and expenses.
Any payment to the Holder of this Note in reduction of the Note Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Note.
This Note is issuable in fully-registered form only without coupons.  As provided in the Base Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration or 
A-1-3

qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws.
If a transfer of any Note that constitutes a Definitive Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes or a transfer of a Book-Entry Note to a successor Depositary as contemplated by Section 2.03(c) of the Base Indenture), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 to the Base Indenture and a certificate from the prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-1 to the Base Indenture; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Note Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer or such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.
This Definitive Note may be exchanged for an interest in, or transferred to a transferee taking an interest in the form of an Uncertificated Note subject to the restrictions set forth in the Indenture and any Series Supplement.
None of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar shall be obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Base Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Obligors, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of any Note or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan or to any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring such Note on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of, a Plan, except in each such case, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture.  Any attempted or purported transfer of a Note in violation of Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture will be null and void and vest no rights in any purported Transferee.
The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Note that constitutes a Definitive Note or the transfer of an interest in an Uncertificated Note that following such purported transfer will constitute a Definitive Note, unless the Note Registrar has received from the prospective Transferee a certification that either:
(i) such prospective Transferee is not a Plan or any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring or holding such Note or any interest therein on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of, any Plan; or
A-1-4

(ii) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee of such Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Law.
It is hereby acknowledged that either of the forms of certification attached to the Indenture as Exhibit B-1 is acceptable for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence. If a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture, the prospective Transferee of such Note (or Uncertificated Note), by its acquisition of such Note (or Uncertificated Note or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with the assets of any Plan or (ii) (x) such acquisition and holding of such Note (or Uncertificated Note) or any interest therein by such Transferee of such Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Law, and (y) none of the Transaction Parties has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA or the Code or any applicable Similar Law), or has been relied upon for any advice with respect to the decision to acquire, hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein) and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein). Further, if a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture, and the prospective Transferee of such Note is acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with the assets of a Plan, such prospective Transferee, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it understands that (i) none of the Transaction Parties has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA or the Code), or has been relied upon for any advice, with respect to the Transferee’s decision to acquire, hold, sell, exchange, vote or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein) and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein).
As provided in the Base Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices of the Note Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Security Transfer Agent Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-1-5

No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Note.
The Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Each Holder of this Note, by accepting this Note, and each Note Owner of an interest in this Note, by accepting an ownership interest in this Note, hereby covenants and agrees that neither it nor the Indenture Trustee on behalf of it will at any time institute against the Co-Issuers and/or the Asset Entities or the Guarantors, or join in any institution against the Co-Issuers and/or the Asset Entities or the Guarantors of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture or any Series Indenture Supplement, all obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Note shall be deemed to be extinguished in the event that, at any time, the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Asset Entities have no assets (which shall include claims that may be asserted by the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Asset Entities with respect to contractual obligations of third parties to the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Asset Entities but which shall not include the proceeds of the initial issue of their shares).  No further claims may be brought against any of the Co-Issuers’ directors or officers or against their shareholders or members, as the case may be, for any such obligations, except in the case of fraud or actions taken in bad faith by such Persons.
The Base Indenture permits certain amendments to be made thereto without the consent of the Noteholders, the Co-Issuers or the Indenture Trustee, provided that certain conditions precedent are satisfied.
The Holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not have at any time any recourse on this Note or under the Indenture or any Series Indenture Supplement against the Co-Issuers (other than the Collateral) or against the Indenture Trustee or Affiliates thereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Registrar, by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Base Indenture or be valid for any purpose.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE.

19

the failure of any other Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by such other Committed Note Purchaser on the date of any Borrowing and (ii) in the event that one or more Committed Note Purchasers fails to make its Advance by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, the Co-Issuers shall deliver written notice (for which purpose electronic means shall be sufficient) to each of the other Committed Note Purchasers not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, and each of the other Committed Note Purchasers shall make available to the Co-Issuers a supplemental Advance in a principal amount (such amount, the “reference amount”) equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal Advance that was unfunded multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Commitment Amount of such Committed Note Purchaser and the denominator of which is the aggregate Commitment Amounts of all Committed Note Purchasers (less the aggregate Commitment Amount of the Committed Note Purchasers failing to make Advances on such date) and (b) the excess of (i) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount over (ii) the product of (1) such Committed Note Purchaser’s related Investor Group Principal Amount, multiplied by (2) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage (after giving effect to all prior Advances on such date of Borrowing) (provided that a Committed Note Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to), on terms and conditions to be agreed upon by such Committed Note Purchaser and the Co-Issuers, make available to the Co-Issuers a supplemental Advance in a principal amount in excess of the reference amount; provided, however, that no such supplemental Advance shall be permitted to be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount).

If any Committed Note Purchaser which shall have so failed to fund its Advance shall subsequently pay such amount, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall apply such amount pro rata to repay any supplemental Advances made by the other Committed Note Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.03(b). 
(c)    Unless the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the date of any Borrowing that an applicable Investor in the related Investor Group will not make available to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent such Investor’s share of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group as part of such Borrowing, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Investor has made such share available to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Letter of Credit Provider and/or the Co-Issuers, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount, and shall, if such corresponding amount has not been made available by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, make available to the Letter of Credit Provider and/or the Co-Issuers, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount once such Investor has made such portion available to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that any Investor shall not have so made such amount available to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, such Investor and the Co-Issuers jointly and severally agree to repay (without duplication) to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent on the next Allocation Date such corresponding amount (in the case of the Co-Issuers, in accordance with the Priority of Payments), together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Co-Issuers until the date such amount is repaid to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Co-Issuers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Investor, the Federal Funds Rate and without deduction by such Investor for any withholding taxes. If such Investor shall repay to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Investor’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
20

(d)    After the Co-Issuers deliver an Advance Request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, the Funding Agents, on behalf of the Investors, may, not later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing date, deliver a written notice (a “Delayed Funding Notice”, and the date of such delivery, the “Delayed Funding Notice Date”) to the Co-Issuers of their intention to fund the related Borrowing (such amount, the “Delayed Amount”) on a date (the date of such funding, the “Delayed Funding Date”) that is on or before the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the date of such request for a Borrowing (or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day) rather than on the requested Borrowing date; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate unfunded Delayed Amount at any time exceed 100% of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount. By delivery of a Delayed Funding Notice, each Funding Agent shall be deemed to represent and warrant that (x) charges relating to the “liquidity coverage ratio” under Basel III have been incurred on the related Committed Note Purchaser’s interests or obligations hereunder and (y) it is seeking or has obtained a delayed funding option in transactions similar to the transactions contemplated hereby as of the date of such Delayed Funding Notice. A Funding Agent that delivers a Delayed Funding Notice with respect to any Borrowing date shall be referred to herein as a “Delaying Investor” with respect to such Borrowing date. If the conditions to any Borrowing described in Section 7.03 are satisfied on the requested Borrowing date, there shall be no conditions whatsoever (including, without limitation, the occurrence of an Amortization Period, notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in Section 7.03) to the obligation of the Committed Note Purchasers to fund the requested amount on the related Delayed Funding Date.
SECTION 2.04    The Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes. On each date an Advance is made or a Letter of Credit is drawn on hereunder, and on each date the outstanding amount thereof is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the related Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Noteholder shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount, evidenced by the related Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Note of such Advance or Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note of such drawn Letter of Credit, as applicable, and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The Co-Issuers hereby authorize each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Noteholder to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Noteholder and the records maintained by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and the Series 2021-1 Supplement, such discrepancy shall be resolved between such Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee (in consultation with the Co-Issuers), and such resolution shall control in the absence of manifest error; provided further that the failure of any such notation to be made, or any finding that a notation is incorrect, in any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Agreement, the Indenture or the Series 2021-1 Supplement.
SECTION 2.05    Reduction in Commitments.
(a)    The Co-Issuers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and each Funding Agent (which will promptly notify the related Investor), effect a permanent reduction in the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Commitment Amount and Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis according to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount of each Investor Group; provided that (i) any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Commitments such that the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount shall not exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount (after giving effect to any Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.02(d) on such date), (ii) any such reduction must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and (iii) after giving effect to such reduction, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount equals or exceeds $5,000,000, unless reduced to zero, and (iv) no such reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, (w) the aggregate L/C Commitments (after giving effect to any decrease thereof on such date) would exceed 10% of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount, (x) the aggregate 
21

Commitment Amounts would be less than the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount (excluding any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts with respect to which cash collateral is held by the Letter of Credit Provider pursuant to Section 4.03(b)) or (y) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the L/C Commitment.
(b)    If any of the following events shall occur, then the Commitment Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced on the dates and in the amounts set forth below with respect to the applicable event and the other consequences set forth below with respect to the applicable event shall ensue (and the Co-Issuers shall give the Indenture Trustee, each Funding Agent and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent prompt written notice thereof):
(i)    if the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes has not been paid in full or otherwise refinanced in full (which refinancing may also include an extension thereof) by the Business Day immediately preceding the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, (A) on such Business Day, (x) the principal amount of all then-outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances made on such date (and the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made), and (y) the L/C Commitment shall both be automatically and permanently reduced to zero, and (B) (x) all undrawn portions of the Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate and the corresponding portions of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced by a corresponding amount (with respect to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts, on a pro rata basis) and (y) each payment of principal on the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount occurring on or following such Business Day (excluding the repayment of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings with proceeds of Advances pursuant to clause (A) above) shall result automatically and permanently in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis;
(ii)    if an Amortization Period has occurred and is continuing prior to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, then (A) on the date such Amortization Period occurs, all undrawn portions of the Commitments shall automatically be reduced to zero (other than as set forth in clause (B)) for so long as such Amortization Period has occurred and is continuing, and the corresponding portions of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically reduced by a corresponding amount (with respect to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts, on a pro rata basis) and (B) no later than the second Business Day after the occurrence of such Amortization Period, the principal amount of all then-outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings (to the extent not otherwise repaid) shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances (and the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made) and the all unused portions of the L/C Commitment (including such amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings repaid by such Advances) shall be automatically reduced to zero, and (C) each payment of principal (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) on the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount occurring on or after the date on which such Amortization Period has occurred and is continuing (excluding the repayment of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings with proceeds of Advances pursuant to clause (B) above) shall result automatically in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis; provided, that if the Amortization Period is no longer continuing, the Commitments and L/C Commitment shall be restored to the full extent reduced pursuant to this subclause (ii) except to the extent voluntarily reduced by the Co-Issuers pursuant to Section 2.05(a); and
22

(iii)    if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (and shall not have been waived in accordance with the Indenture), the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount, the Commitment Amounts, the L/C Commitment and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall all be automatically and permanently reduced to zero for so long as such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Co-Issuers shall (in accordance with the Indenture) cause the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount to be paid in full (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii))  together with accrued interest, accrued Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Undrawn Commitment Fees, Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts and all other amounts then due and payable to the Investors, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in each case subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including the Priority of Payments.
SECTION 2.06    L/C Commitment.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Letter of Credit Provider (or its permitted successors and assigns pursuant to Section 9.17), in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in Sections 2.07 and 2.08, agrees to provide Interest Reserve Letters of Credit or other standby letters of credit requested by the Co-Issuers and agreed upon by Letter of Credit Provider in its sole discretion (together with the Interest Reserve Letters of Credit each, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Co-Issuers or its designee on any Business Day at any time until the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date to be issued in accordance with Section 2.06(g) in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Letter of Credit Provider; provided that the Letter of Credit Provider shall have no obligation or right to provide any Letter of Credit on a requested issuance date if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, or (ii) the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a requested Letter of Credit would cause the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount attributable to a Letter of Credit Provider (in its capacity as Committed Note Purchaser and Letter of Credit Provider) to exceed its Commitment Amount (an “L/C Commitment Excess”), the Investor Groups shall effectuate a reallocation of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts to the extent necessary so that, immediately after such requested Letter of Credit is issued, no L/C Commitment Excess would exist; provided that the Co-Issuers shall not be liable for any Breakage Amounts resulting solely from such reallocations. Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars, (y) have a face amount of at least $25,000 or, if less than $25,000, shall bear a reasonable administrative fee to be agreed upon by the Co-Issuers and the Letter of Credit Provider and (z) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (B) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Required Expiration Date”); provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extensions thereof for additional periods, each individually not to exceed one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the Required Expiration Date) unless the Letter of Credit Provider notifies each beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the then-applicable expiration date (or no later than the applicable notice date, if earlier, as specified in such Letter of Credit) that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed; provided further that any Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is later than the Required Expiration Date so long as either (x) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit has been fully cash collateralized by the Co-Issuers in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03 as of the Required Expiration Date and there are no other outstanding L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit as of the Required Expiration Date or (y) other than with respect to Interest Reserve Letters of Credit, arrangements satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Provider in its sole and absolute discretion have been made with the Letter of Credit Provider (and, if the Letter of Credit Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 4.04 such that such Letter of Credit shall cease to be deemed outstanding or to be deemed a “Letter of Credit” for purposes of this Agreement as of the Commitment Termination Date.
23

Additionally, each Series 2021-1 Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall (1) name the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, as the beneficiary thereof; (2) allow the Indenture Trustee to submit a notice of drawing in respect of such Series 2021-1 Interest Reserve Letter of Credit whenever amounts would otherwise be required to be withdrawn from the Interest Reserve Account, pursuant to the Indenture; and (3) indicate by its terms that the proceeds in respect of drawings under such Series 2021-1 Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall be paid directly into the Interest Reserve Account or otherwise used to pay Required Interest Reserve Draw Amounts in accordance with Sections 5.01(c) of the Indenture.
The Letter of Credit Provider shall not at any time be obligated to (I) provide any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would violate, or cause any L/C Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (II) amend any Letter of Credit hereunder if (1) the Letter of Credit Provider would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (2) each beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(a)    On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Co-Issuers shall issue and shall cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes, which the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Letter of Credit Providers on the Series 2021-1 Closing Date; provided that, if such Series 2021-1 Class L/C Note is an Uncertificated Note, the Indenture Trustee shall instead register it as described in Section 2.01(a) of the Indenture. Such Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note shall be dated the Series 2021-1 Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the Letter of Credit Provider or in such other name or nominee as the Letter of Credit Provider may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the L/C Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to $0 and (unless it is an Uncertificated Note) shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The issuance and sale of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes to the Letter of Credit Providers shall be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01. The Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes shall be Variable Funding Notes that are Class A-1 Notes payable in accordance with the Indenture, the Series 2021-1 Supplement and this Agreement.
Each drawing on a Letter of Credit after the Series 2021-1 Closing Date will constitute a Borrowing in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note in an amount corresponding to the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of such Letter of Credit and shall be deemed to be a Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding L/C Subfacility Amount. All L/C Obligations (whether in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings) shall be deemed to be principal outstanding under the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and shall be deemed to be Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts (in the form of Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding L/C Subfacility Amount) for all purposes of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents other than, in the case of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts, for the purposes of accrual of interest. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each drawing of a Letter of Credit will constitute a “L/C Subfacility Increase” in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and reimbursements of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings thereunder will constitute a “L/C Subfacility Decrease” in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note. Each Letter of Credit Provider and the Co-Issuers agree to promptly notify the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee of any such decreases for which notice to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent is not otherwise provided hereunder.
(b)    The Co-Issuers may (or shall cause the Manager on its behalf to) from time to time request that any Letter of Credit Provider provide a new Letter of Credit by delivering to the Letter of Credit Provider at its address for notices specified herein an application therefor in the form required by the applicable Letter of Credit Provider or L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable (an “Application”), completed to the satisfaction of the Letter of Credit Provider, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Letter of Credit Provider may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any completed Application, the Letter of Credit Provider will notify the Series 2021-1 
24

Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee in writing of the amount, the beneficiary or beneficiaries and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall comply with Section 2.06(a) and (i)) and, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and upon receipt of written confirmation from the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding L/C Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent under this Agreement) that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount (provided that the Letter of Credit Provider shall be entitled to rely upon any written statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent for purposes of determining whether the Letter of Credit Provider received such prior written confirmation from the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit), the Letter of Credit Provider will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered in connection therewith to be processed in accordance with the L/C Issuing Bank’s customary procedures and shall promptly provide the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Letter of Credit Provider be required to provide any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto, as provided in Section 2.06(a)) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Letter of Credit Provider and the Co-Issuers. The Letter of Credit Provider shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Manager (with a copy to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. Each Letter of Credit Provider shall promptly furnish to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Funding Agents, the Investors, and the Indenture Trustee, written notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
(c)    The Co-Issuers shall pay to the Letter of Credit Provider the L/C Monthly Fees (as defined in the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter, the “L/C Monthly Fees”) in accordance with the terms of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments. In addition, the Co-Issuers shall pay to or reimburse the Letter of Credit Provider for its own account or for the account of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank the L/C Issuance Fees (as defined in the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter, the “L/C Issuance Fees”) in accordance with the terms of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments.
(d)    To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article II, the provisions of this Article II shall apply.
(e)    The Co-Issuers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Provider, effect a permanent reduction in the related L/C Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the L/C Commitment. If requested by the Co-Issuers in writing and with the prior written consent of the Letter of Credit Provider and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Provider may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the L/C Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of each of the Outstanding Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.
(f)    Each Letter of Credit Provider shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 2.06 with respect to providing any Letter of Credit hereunder by issuing such Letter of Credit itself or through an Affiliate as long as any such Letter of Credit issued would not be an Ineligible Interest Reserve Letter of Credit. If any such Letter of Credit would be an Ineligible Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, a Person selected by the Co-Issuers (at the reasonable expense of the Co-Issuers) shall issue such Letter of Credit; provided that any Letter of Credit issued by such Person would not be an Ineligible 
25

Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (the Letter of Credit Provider (or such Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Provider) or such other Person selected by the Co-Issuers (at the reasonable expense of the Co-Issuers), in each case in its capacity as the Co-Issuers of such Letter of Credit being referred to as the “L/C Issuing Bank” with respect to such Letter of Credit).
(g)    Each of the parties hereto shall execute any amendments to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Co-Issuers in order to have any Letter of Credit issued by a Person selected by the Co-Issuers pursuant to Section 2.06(g) be a “Letter of Credit” that has been issued hereunder and such Person selected by the Co-Issuers be an “L/C Issuing Bank”.
(h)    Each Letter of Credit Provider and, if the Letter of Credit Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing the Letter of Credit, or (ii) any law applicable to the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, or any request or directive (which request or directive, in the reasonable judgment of the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, has the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall prohibit the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular.
(i)    Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the Co-Issuers when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder.
(j)    For the avoidance of doubt, the L/C Commitment shall be a sub-facility limit of the Commitment Amounts and aggregate outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as of any date of determination shall be a component of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount on such date of determination, pursuant to the definition thereof.
(k)    Each Series 2021-1 Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (including all drawings thereunder) shall be subject to Section 4.04 of the Indenture in all respects.
(l)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent there are two or more Letter of Credit Providers each holding a Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note:
(i)    the outstanding principal amount under each Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Note may be more or less than its pro rata portion of the aggregate outstanding L/C Obligations based on each such  Letter of Credit Provider’s respective L/C Commitment;
(ii)    as between such Letter of Credit Providers in such capacity, any payments with respect to the L/C Obligations  or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes hereunder shall be made pro rata based on the principal amount of their respective Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes outstanding as of the applicable time of determination; and
(iii)    such Letter of Credit Providers shall have the right to determine between themselves which Letter of Credit Provider shall issue or renew each new or renewed Series 2021-1 Letter of Credit, subject to their respective L/C Commitments; provided that (i) if the Letter of Credit Providers do not so agree the Co-Issuers may determine the identity of such Letter of Credit Provider, subject to its L/C Commitment and (ii) if at any time a beneficiary (or proposed beneficiary) under a Series 2021-1 Letter of Credit requests that such Letter of Credit be issued by a certain Letter of Credit Provider, the Co-Issuers shall have the right to designate the Letter of Credit Provider that will issue such Series 2021-1 Letter of Credit, subject to such its L/C Commitment.
26

SECTION 2.07    L/C Reimbursement Obligations.
(a)    For the purpose of reimbursing the payment of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the Co-Issuers agree to pay the Letter of Credit Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, the sum of (i) the amount of such draft so paid (such amount at any time, as reduced by repayments with respect thereto as described below and amounts repaid with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(b) at or prior to such time the “L/C Reimbursement Amount”) and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses (including amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02(c) and such amount at any time, as reduced by repayments with respect thereto as described below and amounts repaid with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(b) at or prior to such time, collectively, the “L/C Other Reimbursement Costs”) incurred by the L/C Issuing Bank in connection with such payment, which shall be paid (1) in the case of the L/C Reimbursement Amount, not later than the Business Day after the day on which the Letter of Credit Provider notifies the Co-Issuers and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent (and in each case the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day as its receipt of the same, notify the Funding Agents) of the date and the amount of such draft, and (2) in the case of L/C Other Reimbursement Costs, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amount and L/C Other Reimbursement Costs shall be evidenced by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes until repaid (or, in the case of the L/C Reimbursement Amount, converted to a Base Rate Advance) as set forth herein. Unless the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect thereto is repaid as set forth in the second preceding sentence, each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor, in which cases the procedures specified in Section 2.08 for funding by Committed Note Purchasers shall apply) constitute a request by the Co-Issuers to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent for a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of the unreimbursed L/C Reimbursement Amount, and the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have made such request pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The applicable L/C Other Reimbursement Amounts shall be paid as Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. In the event such request for a Base Rate Advance is deemed to have been given, the applicable Investors in each Investor Group hereby agree to make Advances in an aggregate amount for each Investor Group equal to such Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount and L/C Other Reimbursement Costs to pay the Letter of Credit Provider. The Increase date with respect to such Advance shall be the first date on which a Base Rate Advance could be made pursuant to Section 2.03 if the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent had received a notice of such Increase at the time the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent receives notice from the Letter of Credit Provider of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Borrowing date and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent to the Letter of Credit Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, for application to the reimbursement of such drawing.
(b)    The Co-Issuers’ obligations under Section 2.07(a) shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Co-Issuers may have or has had against the applicable Letter of Credit Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (iii) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that substantially complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy 
27

Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of any jurisdictions, so long as such Person has a reasonable belief to make such payment, or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.07(b), provide a right of setoff against, the Co-Issuers’ obligations hereunder. The Co-Issuers also agree that the Letter of Credit Provider and the L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Co-Issuers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.07(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Co-Issuers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Co-Issuers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the Letter of Credit Provider nor the L/C Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Co-Issuers to the extent permitted by applicable law) caused by errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Co-Issuers agree that any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction) and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Co-Issuers and shall not result in any liability of the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank to the Co-Issuers. As between the Co-Issuers and the L/C Issuing Bank, the Co-Issuers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such beneficiary’s or transferee’s use of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Co-Issuers agree with the L/C Issuing Bank that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In connection with each Series 2021-1 Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, the Indenture Trustee as beneficiary shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Indenture limiting the liability of or affording rights, benefits, protections, immunities or indemnities to the Indenture Trustee as if they were expressly set forth herein mutatis mutandis.
(c)    If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit for which the Letter of Credit Provider has actual knowledge, the Letter of Credit Provider shall promptly notify the Manager, the Co-Issuers and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank to the Co-Issuers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit and, in paying such draft, such L/C Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person(s) executing or delivering any such document.
SECTION 2.08    L/C Participations.
(a)    Each Letter of Credit Provider irrevocably grants to each Committed Note Purchaser, and, to induce the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) to provide 
28

Letters of Credit hereunder, each Committed Note Purchaser irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Committed Note Purchaser’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of obligations and rights of the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) under and in respect of each Letter of Credit provided hereunder and the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to each draft paid or reimbursed by the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) in connection therewith. Subject to Section 2.06(c), each Committed Note Purchaser unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Letter of Credit Provider that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) is not paid in full by the Co-Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent upon demand of the Letter of Credit Provider an amount equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so paid.
(b)    If any amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent for forwarding to the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) pursuant to Section 2.08(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent for forwarding to the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent for forwarding to the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.08(a) is not made available to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent by such Committed Note Purchaser within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Letter of Credit Provider shall be entitled to recover from such Committed Note Purchaser, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Base Rate. A certificate of the Letter of Credit Provider submitted to any Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.08(b), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on such Committed Note Purchaser. Such amounts payable under this Section 2.08(b) shall be paid without any deduction for any withholding taxes.
(c)    Whenever, at any time after payment has been made under any Letter of Credit and the applicable Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) has received from any Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.08(a), the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Co-Issuers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), as the case may be, will distribute to such Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) such Committed Note Purchaser shall return to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) the portion thereof previously distributed by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), as the case may be, to it. 
29

(d)    Each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.06(a) and to pay its pro rata share of any unreimbursed draft pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Committed Note Purchaser or the Co-Issuers may have against the Letter of Credit Provider, any L/C Issuing Bank, the Co-Issuers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Letter of Credit was issued; (iii) an adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Co-Issuers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by the Co-Issuers or any other Person; (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit in compliance with this Agreement or with the terms of such Letter of Credit, as applicable; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

To the extent that, and only for so long as, an Advance is funded or maintained by a Conduit Investor through means other than the issuance of Commercial Paper (based on its determination in good faith that it is unable to raise or is precluded or prohibited from raising, or that it is not advisable to raise, funds through the issuance of Commercial Paper in the commercial paper market of the United States to finance its purchase or maintenance of such Advance or any portion thereof (which determination may be based on any allocation method employed in good faith by such Conduit Investor), including by reason of market conditions or by reason of insufficient availability under any of its Program Support Agreement or the downgrading of any of its Program Support Providers), such Advance shall bear interest at (i) the Base Rate or (ii) if the required notice has been given pursuant to Section 3.01(b) with respect to such Advance, for any Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period, the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period for such Advance, in each case except as otherwise provided in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period or in Section 3.03 or 3.04.  Each Advance funded or maintained by a Committed Note Purchaser or a Program Support Provider shall bear interest at (i) the Base Rate or (ii) if the required notice has been given pursuant to Section 3.01(b) with respect to such Advance, for any Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period, the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period for such Advance, in each case except as otherwise provided in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period or in Section 3.03 or 3.04.

(b)    With respect to any Advance (other than one funded or maintained by a Conduit Investor through the issuance of Commercial Paper), so long as no Amortization Period or Event of Default has commenced and is continuing, the Co-Issuers may elect that such Advance bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period (which shall be a period with a term of, at the election of the Co-Issuers subject to the proviso in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period, one month, two months, three months or six months (or, at the discretion of the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes, twelve months)) while such Advance is outstanding to the extent provided in Section 3.01(a) by giving notice thereof (including notice of the Co-Issuers’ selection of the term for the applicable Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period) to the Funding Agents prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City 
30

time) on the date which is two (2) Eurodollar Business Days prior to the commencement of such Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is not given in a timely manner, such Advance shall bear interest at the Base Rate. Each such conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Advances for a new Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period in accordance with this Section 3.01(b) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

All computations of interest at the Base Rate and all computations of Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Post-ARD Additional Interest accruing on any Base Rate Advances shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed.  Whenever any payment of interest, principal or fees hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day unless specified otherwise in the Indenture and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest owed.  Interest shall accrue on each Advance and Unreimbursed L/C Drawing from and including the day on which it is made to but excluding the date of repayment thereof.

(b)    The Co-Issuers shall compensate the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent for the performance of its duties as the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter, payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments.
(c)    On each Payment Date on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Co-Issuers shall, in accordance with Section 4.01, pay to each Funding Agent, for the account of the related Committed Note Purchaser(s), an undrawn commitment fee calculated daily on the undrawn portion of the Commitments (the “Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Undrawn Commitment Fees”) in accordance 
31

(e)    Once paid, all fees payable hereunder shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances other than manifest error. 
SECTION 3.03    Eurodollar Lending Unlawful. If any Investor or Program Support Provider shall determine that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any Official Body asserts that it is unlawful, for any such Person to fund or maintain any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance, the obligation of such Person to fund or maintain any such Advance as a Eurodollar Advance shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Person shall notify the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the related Funding Agent, the Manager and the Co-Issuers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all then-outstanding Eurodollar Advances of such Person shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the then-current Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion. 
SECTION 3.04    Interest Rate; LIBOR Notification; Alternate Rate of Interest. 
(a)    The interest rate on Eurodollar Advances is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, which is derived from LIBOR. LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.  There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published.  Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the LIBOR. In the event that LIBOR is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in this Section 3.04 which provides a mechanism for determining the Benchmark Replacement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent will notify the Co-Issuers, pursuant to this Section 3.04, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Advances is based. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, this Section 3.04 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers, pursuant to this Section 3.04, of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Advances is based. However, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to this Section 3.04, whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early 
32

Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to this Section 3.04), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurodollar Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
(b)    Replacing Eurodollar Rate. On the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of the Eurodollar Rate have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by the regulatory supervisor of the Eurodollar Rate’s administrator (“IBA”) or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is the Eurodollar Rate, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.
(c)    Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day (New York City time) after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Investors without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Investors comprising the Required Investors. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Co-Issuers may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Advances to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Co-Issuers’ receipt of notice from the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Co-Issuers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.
(d)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(e)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers and the Investors of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Investor (or group of Investors) pursuant to this Section 3.04 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.04.
33

(f)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the Eurodollar Rate), then the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for such Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) and (ii) the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for such Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement).
SECTION 3.05    Increased Costs, etc. The Co-Issuers agree to reimburse each Investor and any Program Support Provider (each, an “Affected Person”, which term, for the purposes of Section 3.07 and 3.08 shall also include the L/C Issuing Bank) for any increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital, in respect of funding or maintaining (or of its obligation to fund or maintain) any Advances that arise in connection with any Change in Law which shall: 
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); or
(ii)    impose on any Affected Person or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Advances made by such Affected Person or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
except for such Changes in Law with respect to increased capital costs and Class A-1 Taxes which shall be governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively (whether or not amounts are payable thereunder in respect thereof).  Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount of return; provided that any such demand claiming reimbursement for increased costs resulting from a Change in Law described in clause (x) or (y) above shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Affected Person’s method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Affected Person’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation, is consistent with, or more favorable than, its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are substantially similar to the Co-Issuers and which are subject to similar provisions. Such additional amounts (“Increased Costs”) shall be paid by the Co-Issuers to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent as Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such written notice is received, and by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent pursuant to written direction and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Co-Issuers under this Section 3.05 the Co-Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such Increased Costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 3.06    Funding Losses.  In the event any Affected Person shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person to fund or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance) as a result of:
(a)    any conversion, repayment, prepayment or redemption (for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of any Voluntary Decrease or the acceleration of the maturity of such Eurodollar Advance) of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Advance on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period applicable thereto;
34

(b)    any Advance not being funded or maintained as a Eurodollar Advance after a request therefor has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein (for a reason other than the failure of such Affected Person to make an Advance after all conditions thereto have been met); or
(c)    any failure of the Co-Issuers to make a Voluntary Decrease, prepayment or redemption with respect to any Eurodollar Advance after giving notice thereof pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture;
then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers, the Co-Issuers shall pay to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, in the form of Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such written notice is received, and by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent pursuant to written direction and such Funding Agent shall pay directly to such Affected Person such amount (“Breakage Amount” or “Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amount”) as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense.  With respect to any notice given to the Co-Issuers under this Section 3.06 the Co-Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such notice. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers.
SECTION 3.07    Increased Capital or Liquidity Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or under a Program Support Agreement or the Advances or Letters of Credit made or issued by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person (or in the case of an L/C Issuing Bank, by the Letter of Credit Provider) to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers (or, in the case of any Letter of Credit Provider, to the Co-Issuers), the Co-Issuers shall pay to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, in the form of Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which the Co-Issuers receive such written notice, and by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent pursuant to written direction to such Funding Agent (or, in the case of the Letter of Credit Provider, directly to such Person) and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person, such amounts (“Increased Capital Costs”) as will be sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or the Advances made or issued by such Affected Person; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Co-Issuers under this Section 3.07 the Co-Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such notice; provided, further, if the Change in Law giving rise to such Increased Capital Costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions.  
For purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.05 and this Section 3.07, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, guidelines or directives issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel 
35

III, are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted subsequent to the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
SECTION 3.08    Taxes. 
(a)    Except as otherwise required by law, all payments by the Co-Issuers of principal of, and interest on, the Advances and the Unreimbursed L/C Drawings and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges in the nature of a tax imposed by any taxing authority including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, fees, duties, withholdings and other charges, and including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto, being called “Class A-1 Taxes”), but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (i) net income, franchise (imposed in lieu of net income) or similar Class A-1 Taxes (and including branch profits or alternative minimum Class A-1 Taxes) and any other Class A-1 Taxes imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a present or former connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), (ii) any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Affected Person at the time the Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Co-Issuers with respect to such withholding tax, (iii) any taxes imposed under FATCA, (iv) any backup withholding tax and (v) any Class A-1 Taxes imposed as a result of such Affected Person’s failure to comply with Section 3.08(d) (such Class A-1 Taxes not excluded by (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Class A-1 Taxes are imposed and required by law to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Co-Issuers hereunder to an Affected Person, then, (x) the Co-Issuers shall withhold the amount of such Class A-1 Taxes from such payment (as increased, if applicable, pursuant to the following clause (y)) and shall pay such amount, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the taxing authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Class A-1 Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of the payment shall be increased so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount equal to the sum that would have been received by the Affected Person had no such deduction or withholding been required.
(b)    Moreover, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person or its agent with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from the Co-Issuers or otherwise in respect of any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated therein, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Co-Issuers shall pay to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, in the form of Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers receive written notice stating the amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail) and by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent pursuant to written direction to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Persons, such additional amounts (collectively, “Increased Tax Costs,” which term shall include all amounts payable by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers pursuant to this Section 3.08) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person or agent after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes on such Increased Tax Costs) shall equal the amount such Person would have retained had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been asserted. Any amount payable to an Affected Person under this Section 3.08 shall be reduced by, and Increased Tax Costs shall not include, the amount of incremental damages (including Class A-1 Taxes) due or payable by the Co-Issuers as a direct result of 
36

such Affected Person’s failure to demand from the Co-Issuers additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08 within 180 days from the date on which the related Non-Excluded Taxes were incurred.
(c)    As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Class A-1 Taxes, and in any event within thirty (30) days of any such payment being due, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to each applicable Affected Person or its agents a certified copy of an official receipt (or other documentary evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Affected Person and agents) evidencing the payment of such Class A-1 Taxes.  If the Co-Issuers fail to pay any Class A-1 Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Affected Persons or their agents the required receipts (or such other documentary evidence), the Co-Issuers shall indemnify (by depositing such amounts into the Collection Account, to be distributed subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments) each Affected Person and its agents for any Non-Excluded Taxes that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agents as a result of any such failure.
(d)        Each Affected Person and Funding Agent, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable after the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form or document previously delivered) or within a reasonable period of time following a written request by the Co-Issuers or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, shall deliver to the Co-Issuers and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-9, as applicable, or applicable successor form (together with all required attachments), or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable and as will permit the Co-Issuers or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, in their reasonable determination, to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from or eligible for a reduced rate of withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes, including but not limited to such information necessary to claim the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, and to determine whether or not such Affected Person or Funding Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Promptly following the receipt of a written request by the Co-Issuers or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, each Affected Person and Funding Agent shall deliver to the Co-Issuers and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent any other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents) appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person or Funding Agent is exempt from withholding or deduction of Non-Excluded Taxes other than United States federal withholding taxes.  The Co-Issuers shall not be required to pay any increased amount under Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) to an Affected Person in respect of the withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes or other Non-Excluded Taxes imposed as the result of the failure or inability (other than as a result of a Change in Law) of such Affected Person to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.08(d). The Co-Issuers and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent (or other withholding agent selected by the Co-Issuers) may rely on any form or document provided pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) until notified otherwise by the Affected Person or the Funding Agent that delivered such form or document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Affected Person or Funding Agent shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a change in applicable law after the time the Affected Person or Funding Agent becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office).
(e)    If a payment made to an Affected Person or Funding Agent pursuant to this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person or Funding Agent 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 Affected Person or Funding Agent shall deliver to the Co-Issuers and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Co-Issuers or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 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 the Co-Issuers or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 
37

Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Co-Issuers and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person or Funding Agent has complied with such Affected Person’s or Funding Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  For purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
(f)    Prior to the Series 2021-1 Closing Date, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent will provide the Co-Issuers with a properly executed and completed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-9, as appropriate (together with all required attachments), of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent.
(g)    If an Affected Person determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.08 or as to which it has been paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08, it shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers and the Manager in writing of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request from the Co-Issuers, pay over such refund to the Co-Issuers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid to such Affected Person under this Section 3.08 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including the net amount of Class A-1 Taxes, if any, imposed on or with respect to such refund or payment) of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority that is directly attributable to such refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes); provided that the Co-Issuers, immediately upon the request of the Affected Person to the Co-Issuers (which request shall include a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount to be repaid), agree to repay the amount of the refund (and any applicable interest) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such amount) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. This Section 3.08(g) shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Class A-1 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Co-Issuers or any other Person.
(h)    If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Co-Issuers or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent or other withholding agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Class A-1 Taxes from payments made to or for the account of any Affected Person, then to the extent such improper withholding or backup withholding was directly caused by such Affected Person’s actions or inactions, such Affected Person shall indemnify the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent for any Class A-1 Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction as a result of such actions or inactions, and costs and expenses (including attorney costs) of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Affected Persons, severally, under this Section 3.08 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Affected Person or the termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent.
(i)    The Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Co-Issuers or any other withholding agent may deduct and withhold any Class A-1 Taxes required by any laws to be deducted and withheld from any payments. 
SECTION 3.09    Change of Lending Office. Each Committed Note Purchaser agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.05 or 3.07 or the payment of additional amounts to it under Section 3.08(a) or (b), in each case with respect to an Affected Person in such Committed Note Purchaser’s Investor Group, it will, if requested by the Co-Issuers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Committed Note Purchaser) to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office for any Advances affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Committed Note Purchaser, cause such Committed Note Purchaser and its lending 
38

office(s) or the related Affected Person to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.09 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Co-Issuers or the rights of any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.05, 3.07 and 3.08. If a Committed Note Purchaser notifies the Co-Issuers in writing that such Committed Note Purchaser will be unable to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office, the Co-Issuers may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Committed Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Co-Issuers (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise).
ARTICLE IV

SECTION 4.03    L/C as Collateral.  (a) If as of five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts remain in effect, the Co-Issuers shall either (i) provide cash collateral (in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time, to the extent that such amount of cash collateral has not been provided pursuant to Section 4.02 or 9.18(c)(ii)) to the Letter of Credit Provider, to be deposited by the Letter of Credit Provider into a cash collateral account in the name of the Letter of Credit Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) or (ii) other than with respect to Interest Reserve Letters of Credit, make arrangements satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Provider in its sole and absolute discretion with the Letter of Credit Provider (and, if the Letter of Credit Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 4.04 such that any Letters of Credit that remain outstanding as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date shall cease to be deemed outstanding or to be deemed “Letters of Credit” for purposes of this Agreement as of the Commitment Termination Date.
(b)    All amounts to be deposited in a cash collateral account pursuant to Section 4.02, Section 4.03(a) or Section 9.18(c)(ii) shall be held by the Letter of Credit Provider as collateral to secure the Co-Issuers’ Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit. The Letter of Credit Provider shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposit in Eligible Investments, which investments shall be made at the written direction, and at the risk and expense, of the Co-Issuers (provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such investments shall be made solely at the option and sole discretion of the Letter of Credit Provider), such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account and all Class A-1 Taxes on such amounts shall be payable by the Co-Issuers. Moneys in such account shall automatically be applied by such Letter of Credit Provider to reimburse it for any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings. Upon expiration of all then-outstanding Letters of Credit and payment in full of all Unreimbursed 
40

L/C Drawings, any balance remaining in such account shall promptly be paid over (i) if the Indenture and any Series Supplement remain in effect, to the Trustee to be deposited into the applicable Collection Account and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and (ii) otherwise to the Co-Issuers; provided that, upon an Investor ceasing to be a Defaulting Investor in accordance with Section 9.18(d), any amounts of cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 9.18(c)(ii) upon such Investor becoming a Defaulting Investor shall be released and applied as such amounts would have been applied had such Investor not become a Defaulting Investor.
SECTION 4.04    Alternative Arrangements with Respect to Letters of Credit.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, a Letter of Credit (other than a Interest Reserve Letter of Credit) shall cease to be deemed outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document if and to the extent that provisions, in form and substance satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Provider (and, if the Letter of Credit Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) in its sole and absolute discretion, have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit such that the Letter of Credit Provider (and, if applicable, the L/C Issuing Bank) has agreed in writing, with a copy of such agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Co-Issuers, that such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding hereunder, in which event such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” as such term is used herein and in the Transaction Documents.
SECTION 4.05    Erroneous Payments.  
(a)    Each Investor hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Investor that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Investor from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Investor (whether or not known to such Investor), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Investor shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Investor to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Investor shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Investor under this Section 4.05 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The “NYFRB Rate” means, for any day, the effective federal funds rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in effect on such date.
(b)    Each Investor hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the 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 sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Investor agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Investor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Investor to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate 
41

and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(c)    Each Co-Issuer and each other Investor hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Investor that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Investor with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Co-Issuers or any other Investor, except, in each case of this clause (y), to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Co-Issuers or any other Investor for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment.
(d)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.05 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Investor, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Transaction Document. 
ARTICLE V
THE SERIES 2021-1 CLASS A-1 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE FUNDING AGENTS

Each Investor that sells a participating interest shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Co-Issuers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each related participant and the applicable portions of the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount (and stated interest) relating to such participant, provided that no Investor shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of such register to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the relevant Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes are in registered form under Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5(b) (or any successor version).

In the event that an Investor (solely in its capacity as such) takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(a), each affected Obligor shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest or cause to be contested the filing of such a petition by any such Person against such Obligor or the commencement of such action and raise or cause to be raised the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by an Investor in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving any Obligor. The obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Agreement are solely the limited liability company or corporate, as the case may be, obligations of the Co-Issuers.
(b)    The Conduit Investors. Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper or other debt securities or instruments issued by a Conduit Investor, institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Investor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, examination or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state (or any other jurisdiction with authority over such Conduit Investor) bankruptcy or similar law.

The obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, including any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director, member, affiliate or incorporator (or Person similar to an incorporator under state business organization laws) of any Conduit Investor; provided, however, nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from any liability that any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(c)    The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any fees, costs, indemnified amounts or expenses payable by a Conduit Investor pursuant to this Agreement (“Conduit Investor Amounts”) shall be payable only in accordance with the order of priorities set forth in such Conduit Investor’s commercial paper program documents and no Conduit Investor shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder in excess of any amount received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and available to such Conduit Investor after paying or making provision for the payment of its commercial paper notes; provided, however, that each Committed Note Purchaser shall pay any Conduit Investor Amounts, on behalf of any Conduit Investor in such Committed Note Purchaser’s Investor Group, as and when due hereunder, to the extent that such Conduit Investor is precluded by its commercial paper program documents from paying such Conduit Investor Amounts in accordance with this Agreement.
61

(d)    Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Investor shall be obligated to pay any fees, costs, indemnified amounts or expenses due pursuant to this Agreement other than in accordance with the order of priorities set out in such Conduit Investor’s commercial paper program documents and all payment obligations of each Conduit Investor hereunder are contingent on the availability of funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and in excess of the amounts necessary to pay its commercial paper notes.  Any such amount which any Conduit Investor does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against or corporate obligation of such Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency unless and until funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and are available for the payment of such amounts as aforesaid.
(e)    The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Co-Issuers and any of its Affiliates shall have an option for a period of three (3) Business Days from the date the Sale Notice is given to elect to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments at the same price and subject to the same material terms as described in the Sale Notice. The Co-Issuers or any of its Affiliates may exercise such purchase option by notifying such Defaulting Investor before expiration of such three (3) Business Day period that it wishes to purchase all (but not a portion) of the rights, obligations and commitments of such Defaulting Investor proposed to be sold to such unaffiliated third party. If the Co-Issuers or any of its Affiliates gives notice to such Defaulting Investor that it desires to purchase such, rights, obligations and commitments, 
65

the Co-Issuers or such Affiliate shall promptly pay the purchase price to such Defaulting Investor. If the Co-Issuers or any of its Affiliates does not respond to any Sale Notice within such three (3) Business Days period, the Co-Issuers and its Affiliates shall be deemed not to have exercised such purchase option.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Investor becomes a Defaulting Investor, then, until such time as such Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)    Such Defaulting Investor’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.01.
(ii)    Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to the account of such Defaulting Investor (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied (and the Co-Issuers shall instruct the Indenture Trustee or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent to apply such amounts) as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to each Letter of Credit Provider hereunder; third, to provide cash collateral to the Letter of Credit Providers in an amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; fourth, as the Co-Issuers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Co-Issuers; fifth, if so determined by the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Funding Agents) and the Co-Issuers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order (x) to satisfy such Defaulting Investor’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) to provide cash collateral to the Letter of Credit Providers in an amount equal to the amount of any future Undrawn L/C Face Amounts multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Investors or the Letter of Credit Provider as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Investor against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Co-Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Co-Issuers against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Investor or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or any extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.07(a) owed to, all non-Defaulting Investors on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.08(a) owed to, such Defaulting Investor until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Unreimbursed L/C Drawings are held by the Investors pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 9.18(c)(iii).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Investor that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting 
66

Investor or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 9.18(c)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Investor, and each Investor irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    All or any part of such Defaulting Investor’s participation in Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Investors pro rata based on their Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Investor’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Co-Issuers shall have otherwise notified the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent at such time, the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the product of (1) any non-Defaulting Investor’s related Investor Group Principal Amount on such date, multiplied by (2) such non-Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage, to exceed such non-Defaulting Investor’s Commitment Amount.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Investor arising from that Investor having become a Defaulting Investor, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Investor as a result of such non-Defaulting Investor’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(d)    If the Co-Issuers, the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Funding Agents) and each Letter of Credit Provider agree in writing that an Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, the Co-Issuers will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Investor will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Investors or take such other actions as the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Funding Agents) may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Investors in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Investor will cease to be a Defaulting Investor; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers while that Investor was a Defaulting Investor; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Investor to Investor will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Investor’s having been a Defaulting Investor.
SECTION 9.19    No Fiduciary Duties.  Each of the Manager and the Obligors acknowledge and agree that in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, or any other services the Investors may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Investors: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between any of the Manager, the Obligors and any other person, on the one hand, and the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates (or any agent, adviser or representative of any of the foregoing), on the other, exists; (b) the Investors are not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Manager or the Obligors, and such relationship between any of the Manager or the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Investors or any of their respective affiliates (or any agent, adviser or representative of any of the foregoing),  on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Investors may have to the Manager and any of the Obligors shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; (d) the Investors and their respective affiliates (or any agent, adviser or representative of any of the foregoing) may have interests that differ from those of the Manager or any of the Obligors; and (e) the Manager and the Obligors have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. Each of the Manager and the Obligors hereby waive any claims that Manager or the Obligors may have against the Investors with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Notes.
SECTION 9.20    No Guarantee by the Manager.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Manager shall not be construed as a guarantee or other credit support by the Manager 
67

of the obligations of the Obligors hereunder.  The Manager shall not be liable in any respect for any obligation of the Obligors hereunder or any violation by any Obligor of its covenants, representations and warranties or other agreements and obligations hereunder.

(i)    the representations, warranties and agreements of the Co-Issuers, the Asset Entities and the Manager, as applicable, in any other Transaction Document to which any of the Co-Issuers, the Asset Entities and the Manager, as applicable, is a party are true and correct (A) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects, and (B) if not so qualified, in all material respects, on and as of the Series 2021-1 Closing Date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct (x) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects, and (y) if not so qualified, in all material respects, as of such earlier date), and the Co-Issuers, the Asset Entities and the Manager, as applicable, has complied in all material respects with all its agreements contained herein and in any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder or thereunder at or prior to the Series 2021-1 Closing Date; and
Schedule III-1
 

(ii)    there shall exist at and as of the Series 2021-1 Closing Date no condition that would constitute an “Event of Default” (or an event that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an “Event of Default”) under, and as defined in, the Indenture or a material breach under any of the Transaction Documents as in effect at the Series 2021-1 Closing Date (or an event that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute such a material breach)
(f)    The Manager, the Co-Issuers and the Asset Entities shall have executed and delivered the Management Agreement, and the Funding Agents shall have received a duly executed copy thereof.
(g)    The Co-Issuers, the Asset Entities and the Indenture Trustee shall have executed and delivered the Indenture and the Series 2021-1 Supplement, and the Funding Agents shall have received a duly executed copy thereof.

(j)    Each of the Transaction Documents shall be in full force and effect.
(k)    The Manager, each Asset Entity and the Co-Issuers shall have furnished to the Funding Agents a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Funding Agents and dated as of the Series 2021-1 Closing Date, of the chief financial officer of such entity (or other officers reasonably satisfactory to the Funding Agents) that such entity will be Solvent (as defined below) immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that in the case of each Asset Entity, the liabilities of the other Obligors with respect to debts, liabilities and obligations for which such Asset Entity is jointly and severally liable shall be taken into account.  As used herein, “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date (i) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets of the relevant entity are not less than the total amount required to pay the probable liabilities of such entity on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured, (ii) the relevant entity is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business, (iii) assuming the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the relevant entity is not incurring debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature, (iv) the relevant entity is not engaged in any business or transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which such entity is engaged, and (v) the relevant entity is not a defendant in any civil action that would reasonably be likely to result in a judgment that such entity is or would become unable to satisfy.  In computing the amount of such contingent liabilities at any time, it is intended that such liabilities will be computed at the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
(l)    None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to an injunction (temporary or permanent) and no restraining order or other injunctive order shall have been issued; and there shall not have been any legal action, order, decree or other administrative proceeding instituted or (to the knowledge of the Co-Issuers or the Manager) overtly threatened against either Co-Issuer, any Asset Entity, the Manager, any Investor or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the issuance of the Series 2021-1 Notes and the Guarantee or any Investor’s or the Series 2021-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent’s activities in connection therewith or any other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Schedule III-2
 

(m)    The representations and warranties of each of the Co-Issuers, the Asset Entities and the Manager contained in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will be true and correct (i) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects, and (ii) if not so qualified, in all material respects, as of the Series 2021-1 Closing Date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct (x) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects, and (y) if not so qualified, in all material respects, as of such earlier date).
(n)    The Co-Issuers shall have delivered $300,000,000 of the Series 2021-1 Class A-2 Notes to the initial purchasers of such Notes on the Series 2021-1 Closing Date.

All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Funding Agents.
