Section 10.2. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. 

(a) If after the date hereof, any Funding Source shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost
on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) that subjects any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a Funding Agreement,
or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Funding Source or
Excluded Taxes) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit, increase in capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding Source,
or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to
reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any
payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it (each such Funding Source that suffers any event described in any of the preceding clauses (i)-(iii), an “Affected Entity”),
then, upon written demand by the applicable Co-Agent upon the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and Servicer), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Entity, such amounts charged
to such Affected Entity or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Entity for such increased cost or such reduction; provided, however, that in the case of a Regulatory Change resulting in an increase in the regulatory
capital required to be maintained by any Affected Entity, the Borrower shall not be liable to compensate such Affected Entity for such increase for any period prior to the
61st day following written notification thereof from the
applicable Co-Agent to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer). 
 (b) If
Affected Entities from less than all of the Groups request 
  

 6 

 
compensation under Section 10.2(a), the Borrower shall have the right to (i) replace the claiming Group by requiring all of its Constituents to assign all or any portion of their
Commitment, Group Limit and outstanding Obligations, as applicable, by entering into written assignments with one or more Eligible Assignees identified by the Borrower, and (ii) without regard to any other provision of this Agreement requiring
payments to be made or Commitments to be reduced ratably amongst the Groups, to pay in full of all remaining Obligations (if any) owing to such Group and terminate the remaining portion (if any) of such Group’s Commitment and Group Limit. Each
assignment pursuant to clause (i) above to an Eligible Assignee (which may include a Constituent of another Co-Agent) shall become effective on the date specified therein subject to receipt of payment in full on such date for all Obligations
owing to the Group being replaced, and the Group being replaced agrees to make the requested assignments; provided that (A) any expenses or other amounts which would be owing to such Group pursuant to any indemnification provision
hereof (including, without limitation, Section 4.3) shall be payable by the Borrower as if the Borrower had prepaid the Loans of the assigning Group rather than the members of such Group having assigned their respective interests hereunder, and
(B) if the Administrative Agent is an Affiliate of the members of any Group that is being replaced, the Borrower shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent from the Eligible Assignees or remaining Groups. To the extent that replacement of
the Administrative Agent or any partial reduction of the Aggregate Commitment resulting from the foregoing assignments or prepayments requires amendments (rather than assignments) of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, each of the
parties hereto agrees to cooperate with the preparation and execution of such amendments.

	5.	You agree to perform the duties that may reasonably be assigned to you hereunder to the best of your ability, experience and talents. 

 

	6.	You will make and submit such oral and/or written reports and furnish such data and information regarding the details of matters arising in connection with the
Consulting Services to IPC, as IPC may from time to time require. In this connection, at IPC’s request, you will: 

  

	 	a.	make periodic oral reports; 

  

	 	b.	discuss with IPC’s representatives, on an informal basis, any tentative or preliminary conclusions or recommendations; 

 

	 	c.	submit to IPC drafts of proposed final conclusions and recommendations; 

  

	 	d.	prepare a formal report or opinion; and, 

  

	 	e.	deliver promptly to IPC all work performed under this Agreement and, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, deliver promptly to IPC any remaining completed
or uncompleted work under this Agreement, together with all documents, data, and confidential information belonging to IPC.

and any United States and foreign patent applications directed thereto, which is conceived or developed by you solely, or jointly with an IPC employee, and arising out of the Consulting Services will be the sole property of IPC, and you will perform
such acts and execute such papers as are reasonably necessary to perfect IPC’s title therein. It is also agreed that any and all written materials (including without limitation all sketches, drawings, blueprints, reports and memoranda) which
you prepare pursuant to this Agreement, or anything produced by you in the performance of the Consulting Services will be the sole, exclusive and entire property of IPC. As to any such materials subject to the protection of the Copyright Act of
1976, all rights to copyright and reproduction will be the property of IPC and you agree to execute any papers necessary to perfect title and copyright in IPC. If you produce anything for IPC in which you or third parties have or claim rights you
will promptly notify IPC of the subject matter and the claimed ownership. 

  

	8.	 It is understood and agreed that you will maintain all information about any matter referred to in Paragraph 7 above and all other information which
IPC may supply to you whether transmitted or conveyed orally, in writing, in the form of drawings, or whether perceived or observed by you in connection with rendering the Consulting Services, as the strictly secret and confidential

	 	
intellectual property of IPC (hereinafter “Intellectual Property”), and you further agree: 

  

	 	a.	not to make any use whatsoever of such Intellectual Property, except in the performance of your duties under this Agreement, and, accordingly, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, not to use such Intellectual Property in connection with any work performed by you for yourself or any third party; 

  

	 	b.	not to reveal to any third party any such Intellectual Property whether supplied to you by IPC or originated wholly or partially by you during the life of this
Agreement; and, 

  

	 	c.	that any such Intellectual Property submitted to you by IPC in tangible form, such as drawings, sketches, reports, etc., and any copies thereof, will be returned to IPC
upon completion of the Consulting Services.
