Section 2.4 Making the Advances.
(A) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Advances to the Borrower by the delivery to the
Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, the Paying Agent and, so long as it remains a Lender hereunder, the CS Conduit Lender, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date of a written
notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (each such notice, a Notice of Borrowing) together with a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Any Notice of Borrowing or Borrowing Base Certificate received by the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Paying Agent after the time specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall
be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Paying Agent on the next Business Day, and to the extent that results in the proposed Funding Date being earlier than two (2) Business Days after the date
of delivery of such Notice of Borrowing, then the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing as the proposed Funding Date of an Advance shall be deemed to be the Business Day immediately succeeding the proposed Funding Date of such Advance specified
in such Notice of Borrowing. The proposed Funding Date specified in a Notice of Borrowing shall be no earlier than two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Notice of Borrowing and may be up to a maximum of thirty (30) days
after the date of delivery of such Notice of Borrowing. Unless otherwise provided herein, each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable. The aggregate principal amount of the Class A Advance and Class B Advance requested by the Borrower

(including by electronic mail) to the Borrower contesting the Borrowers calculations or any statement within such Notice of Borrowing, it shall promptly inform the Borrower. The Borrower may then deliver an amended Notice of Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Paying Agent or, by written notice, rescind the Notice of Borrowing.
[***] = Certain
information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.
-4-
(B) The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of Class A
Advances requested together with the allocated amount of Class A Advances to be paid by each Class A Lender Group based on its respective Class A Lender Group Percentage, (ii)(a) the aggregate amount of
Class B-I Advances requested together with the allocated amount of Class B-I Advances to be paid by each Class B-I
Lender Group based on its respective Class B-I Lender Group Percentage, or (b) the aggregate amount of Class B-II Advances requested together with the
allocated amount of Class B-II Advances to be paid by each Class B-II Lender Group based on its respective
Class B-II Lender Group Percentage and (iii) the Funding Date. The amount of Class A Advances to Class B Advances requested shall be determined on a pro rata basis based on the Class A
Borrowing Base and Class B Aggregate Borrowing Base as of the proposed Funding Date; provided that (i) the Borrower may request Class A Advances and/or Class B Advances which are not pro rata (i) to the extent that
the outstanding Advances made by any Non-Conduit Lender, together with the amount of Advances to be made by such Non-Conduit Lender after giving effect to such requested
Advances, equal its Commitment or (ii) the Borrower may request Class A Advances which are not pro rata if the Class B Availability Termination Date shall have occurred. With respect to any Class B Advances requested, the
Borrower shall only request and is only permitted to request Class B-II Advances if the amount of outstanding Class B-I Advances is equal to the Class B-I Commitment. Each Funding Agent may, in its sole discretion, allocate any requested Advances among the Lenders in its Lender Group.
(C) With respect to the Advances to be made on the Original Closing Date, each Lender shall pay the amount of its Advance by wire transfer of
such funds to the Borrowers Account no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Original Closing Date.
(D) With
respect to the Advances to be made on any Funding Date, other than the initial Advance to be made on the Original Closing Date, upon a determination by the Administrative Agent that all conditions precedent to the Advances to be made on such Funding
Date set forth in Article III have been satisfied or otherwise waived, each Lender shall fund the amount of its Advance by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with the Borrowers written instructions initiated no later than 2:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on such Funding Date.
(E) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
Non-Conduit Lender who shall have previously notified the Borrower in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto, that it has incurred any external cost, fee or expense directly related to
and as a result of the liquidity coverage ratio under Basel III in respect of its Commitment hereunder or any liquidity agreement between such Non-Conduit Lender and the Conduit Lender, or its
interest in the Advances, such Non-Conduit Lender may, upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.4(A), notify the Borrower in writing by 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) two
(2) Business Days prior to the Funding Date specified in such Notice of Borrowing, in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (a Delayed Funding Notice), of its intent to fund (or, if applicable and if such Conduit
Lender so agrees in its sole discretion, have its Conduit Lender, if applicable, fund all or part of) its allocated amount of the related Advance in an amount that would, if combined with all other requested Advances within the past thirty-five
(35) days, exceed $20,000,000 (such amount, the Delayed Amount) on a Business Day that is on or before the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the date of delivery of such Non-Conduit
Lender of such Delayed Funding Notice (the Delayed Funding Date) rather than on the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing. If any Non-Conduit Lender provides a Delayed Funding Notice to
the Borrower following the delivery by the Borrower
[***] = Certain

-5-
of a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may revoke such Notice of Borrowing by delivering written notice of the same to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents by 12:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the Business Day preceding the related Funding Date. No Non-Conduit Lender that has provided a Delayed Funding Notice in respect of an Advance (a Delayed Funding Lender) shall be
considered to be in default of its obligation to fund its Delayed Amount pursuant to Section 2.4(D) hereunder unless and until it has failed to fund the Delayed Amount on or before the Delayed Funding Date. A Delayed Funding Lender is not
obliged to fund until thirty-five (35) days have elapsed since the funding request. For the avoidance of doubt, a Delayed Funding Lender shall be required to fund its Delayed Amount regardless of the occurrence of an Amortization Event, Event
of Default, Potential Amortization Event or Potential Default which occurs during the period from and including the related Funding Date to and including the related Delayed Funding Date, unless such Amortization Event, Event of Default, Potential
Amortization Event or Potential Default relates to an Insolvency Event with respect to the Borrower.
(F) If (i) one or more Delayed
Funding Lenders provide a Delayed Funding Notice to the Borrower in respect of a Notice of Borrowing and (ii) the Borrower shall not have revoked the Notice of Borrowing prior to the Business Day preceding such Funding Date, the Administrative
Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding such Funding Date, direct each Lender Group and each Non-Conduit Lender that is not a Delayed Funding Lender with
respect to such Funding Date (each a Non-Delayed Funding Lender) to fund an additional portion of such Advance on such Funding Date equal to such
Non-Delayed Funding Lenders proportionate share (based upon such Non-Delayed Funding Lenders Commitment relative to the sum of the Commitments of all Non-Delayed Funding Lenders) of the aggregate Delayed Amounts with respect to such Funding Date; provided, that in no event shall a Non-Delayed Funding Lender be
required to fund any amounts in excess of its Commitment. Subject to Section 2.4(D), in the case of a Non-Delayed Funding Lender that is a Non-Conduit Lender, such Non-Conduit Lender hereby agrees, or, in the case of a Non-Delayed Funding Lender that is a Lender Group, the Conduit Lender in such Lender Group may agree, in its sole
discretion, and the Non-Conduit Lenders in such Lender Group hereby agree, to fund such portion of the Advance on such Funding Date.
(G) After the Non-Delayed Funding Lenders fund a Delayed Amount on any Funding Date in accordance with
Section 2.4(F), the Delayed Funding Lender in respect of such Delayed Amount will be obligated to fund an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) such Delayed Amount over (b) the amount, if any, by which the portion of any
principal distribution amount paid to such Non-Delayed Funding Lenders pursuant to Section 2.7 or any decrease to the outstanding principal balance made in accordance with Section 2.8, on any date
during the period from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Delayed Funding Date for such Delayed Amount, was greater than what it would have been had such Delayed Amount been funded by such Delayed Funding Lender on such Funding
Date (the Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount) with respect to such Delayed Amount on or before its Delayed Funding Date, irrespective of whether the Borrower would be able to satisfy the conditions set forth in
Section 3.2(A) to an Advance, in an amount equal to such Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount on such Delayed Funding Date. Such Delayed Funding Lender shall fund such Delayed Funding Reimbursement Amount on such Delayed Funding Date by paying
such amount to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds to each such Non-Delayed Funding Lender, pro rata based on the relative amount
of such Delayed Amount funded by such Non-Delayed Funding Lender on such Funding Date pursuant to Section 2.4(F).
[***] = Certain

-6-
(H) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Class B-II Lenders shall be deemed to satisfy their obligation to timely fund a Class B-II Advance so long as the
Class B-II Lenders funds such Class B-II Advance by the Business Day immediately succeeding any Funding Date.
Section 2.5 Fees.
(A) Facility Administrator Fee. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Facility Administration Agreement, the Borrower shall pay
the Facility Administrator Fee to the initial Facility Administrator and after the resignation or replacement of the initial Facility Administrator, the Borrower shall pay the Facility Administrator Fee to a Successor Facility Administrator
appointed in accordance with the Facility Administration Agreement.
(B) Verification Agent Fee. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Verification Agent Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Verification Agent the Verification Agent Fee.
(C)

(D) Unused Line Fees.
(i) Solely during the Availability Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Class A Funding Agent, for the benefit of
the Non-Conduit Lenders in its related Class A Lender Group and as consideration for the Commitment of the Non-Conduit Lenders in such Class A Lender Group,
unused line fees in Dollars (the Class A Unused Line Fee) for the period from the Original Closing Date to the last day of the Availability Period, computed as (a) the applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage
multiplied by (b) the average Unused Portion of the Commitments with respect to such Class A Lender Group during a calendar quarter. Accrued Class A Unused Line Fees shall be due and payable in arrears (from Distributable
Collections as set forth and in the order of priority established pursuant to Section 2.7) on the Payment Date immediately following the last day of the applicable calendar quarter for which such fee was calculated and on the last day of the
Availability Period.
(ii) Prior to the Class B Availability Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to each
Class B Funding Agent, for the benefit of the Non-Conduit Lenders in its related Class B Lender Group and as consideration for the Commitment of the
Non-Conduit Lenders in such Class B Lender Group, unused line fees in Dollars (the Class B Unused Line Fee and, together with the Class A Unused Line Fee,
the Unusued Line Fee) for the period from the Original Closing Date to the Class B Availability Termination Date, computed as (a) the applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage multiplied by (b) the average Unused
Portion of the Commitments with respect to such Class B Lender Group during a calendar quarter. Accrued Class B Unused Line Fees shall be due and payable in arrears (from Distributable Collections as set forth and in the order of priority
established pursuant to Section 2.7) on the Payment Date immediately following the last day of the applicable calendar quarter for which such fee was calculated and on the day before the Class B Availability Termination Date.
[***] = Certain
information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.
-7-
(E) Payment of Fees. The fees set forth in Section 2.5(A), (B), (C) and
(D) shall be payable on each Payment Date by the Borrower from Distributable Collections as set forth in and in the order of priority established pursuant to Section 2.7(B). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
Transaction Document, the fees referred to in this Section 2.5 shall not constitute Confidential Information.
(F)
Amendment Fee. Commencing on December 2, 2019, and thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a fee of $[***] in connection with each amendment (or group of related amendments effective of the same date) to the
Transaction Documents requested by it, which fee shall be in addition to the reimbursement of costs and expenses associated therewith that is provided for in Section 10.6 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any consent to a Proposed Form
delivered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1(X) shall not give rise to the obligation to pay the amendment fee set forth in this Section 2.5(F) so long as no amendment to any Transaction Document is required in connection
with such Proposed Form as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
(G) Invested Capital Payment Amount. The
Borrower shall pay the Invested Capital Payment Amount on the Invested Capital Payment Date.
Section 2.6
Reduction/Increase of the Commitments.
(A) The Borrower may, on any Business Day, upon written notice given to the Administrative
Agent and each of the Funding Agents not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed action (which notice may be conditioned upon any event), terminate in whole or reduce in part, on a pro rata basis based on its
Class A Lender Group Percentage, Class B-I Lender Group Percentage or Class B-II Lender Group Percentage, as applicable, the Unused Portion of the
Commitments with respect to each Lender Group (and on a pro rata basis with respect to each Non-Conduit Lender in such Lender Group); provided, that (i) any partial reduction of the Class B
Commitments shall be applied first to the Class B-II Commitments (on a pro rata basis with respect to each Non-Conduit Lender in each
Class B-II Lender Group), until the Class B-II Commitments shall have been reduced to zero and thereafter shall be applied to the Class B-I Commitments (on a pro rata basis with respect to each Non-Conduit Lender in each Class B-I Lender Group), (ii) any
partial reduction shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (iii) any Unused Portion of the Commitments so reduced may not be increased again without the written consent of the related Non-Conduit Lenders in such Lender Group.
(B) The Borrower may, on any Business Day upon written notice
given to the Administrative Agent and each of the Funding Agents, request an increase, on a pro rata basis based on its Class A Lender Group Percentage, Class B-I Lender Group Percentage or Class B-II Lender Group Percentage, as applicable, of the Commitments of the Non-Conduit Lender(s) in each Lender Group; provided, that any increase shall be at
least equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof but shall in no event cause the Aggregate Commitment to exceed the
[***] = Certain
information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.
-8-
Maximum Facility Amount, the Class A Aggregate Commitment to exceed the Class A Maximum Facility Amount, the Class B-I Aggregate Commitment
to exceed the Class B-I Maximum Facility Amount or the Class B-II Aggregate Commitment to exceed the Class B-II
Maximum Facility Amount. Each Non-Conduit Lender shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request, notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall in turn notify the
Borrower in writing (with copies to the other members of the applicable Lender Group) whether or not each Non-Conduit Lender has, in its sole discretion, agreed to increase its Commitment. If a Non-Conduit Lender does not send any notification to the Administrative Agent within such five (5) Business Day period, such Non-Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have
declined to increase its Commitment. Any increase in Commitments agreed to pursuant to this Section 2.6(B) may be reduced by a Non-Conduit Lender, at any time, upon five Business
Days written notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent (with copies to the other members of the applicable Lender Group) setting forth the amount of such reduction; provided, however, that such Commitment may not be
reduced to an amount less than such Non-Conduit Lenders initial Commitment on the Original Closing Date (if such reduction is prior to a Takeout Transaction) or to an amount less than such Non-Conduit Lenders Commitment on or after a Takeout Transaction (if such reduction is on or after a Takeout Transaction), but may be reduced to an amount that is less than the then Aggregate Outstanding
Advances.
Section 2.7 Repayment of the Advances.
(A) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the outstanding principal balance of the Advances and the other Obligations owing
under this Agreement, together with all accrued but unpaid interest , shall be due and payable in full, if not due and payable earlier, on the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts borrowed and repaid hereunder may be reborrowed in
accordance with the terms hereof.
(B) On any Business Day, the Borrower may direct the Paying Agent to, and on each Payment Date, the
Borrower shall direct the Paying Agent to, subject to Section 2.7(D), apply all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (including (x)(1)(a) Collections deposited therein during the related Collection Period and (b) any amounts due
during the related Collection Period but deposited into the Collection Account within ten (10) Business Days after the end of such Collection Period that the Facility Administrator (at its option) has determined (with written notice thereof to
the Paying Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Borrower)) to be treated as if such amounts were on deposit in the Collection Account at the end of such Collection Period, (2) amounts deposited therein from the
Liquidity Reserve Account or the Supplemental Reserve Account, in each case in accordance with Section 8.2 or (3) any amounts deposited therein by a Seller or TEP Resources pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement or the Parent

Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve requirement (including any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any
Affected Party, or (c) shall impose any other condition affecting the Collateral or the rights of any Lender and the Administrative Agent hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party under this Agreement or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, then on the next Payment Date after written demand by such Affected Party, such Affected Party shall receive such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered to the extent such additional or increased costs or reduction are incurred or

suffered in connection with the Collateral, any obligation to make Advances hereunder, any of the rights of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, or any payment made hereunder in
accordance with Section 2.7(B); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Affected Party for any portion of such additional or increased cost or such reduction that is incurred more than one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to any such demand (except that, if the event giving rise to such additional or increased cost or such reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(C) Capital Adequacy. If any Change in Law has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such Change in
Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, then on the next Payment Date after written demand by such
Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), such Affected Party shall receive such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction in accordance
with Section 2.7(B); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Affected Party for any portion of such additional amount or amounts that are incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any
such demand (except that, if the event giving rise to such additional amount or amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).

2.12(B), or 2.12(C), any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding
or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then on the next Payment Date after written demand by such Affected Party, such Affected Party shall receive such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts
paid by it; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Affected Party for any portion of such additional amount or amounts that are incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to any such demand

Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender subject to this Section 2.12(E) to assign and delegate, without recourse, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Advances, and Commitments of the
Lender being replaced hereunder to an assignee that shall assume all those rights and obligations; provided, however, that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other
Governmental Authority having valid jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (z) the Borrower or such assignee
shall have paid to the replaced Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Advances of such Lender plus all fees and other amounts accrued
for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto.

-16-
A Lender subject to this Section 2.12(E) shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if prior to any such assignment and delegation the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.
Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.12(E) may be effected pursuant to an assignment
in substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party to such Assignment and Assumption in order for
such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver
such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided, further, that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the assignment of any Defaulting
Lenders interest hereunder.
(F) Calculation. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12, the Affected
Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.13 Payments and Computations.
(A) The Borrower (through the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(B) and as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) shall make each
payment and prepayment hereunder and under the Advances in respect of principal, interest, expenses, indemnities, fees or other Obligations due from the Borrower not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in
U.S. Dollars to the related Funding Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.3 or to such account provided by such Funding Agent in immediately available, same-day funds. Payments on
Obligations may also be made by application of funds in the Collection Account or the Takeout Transaction Account as provided in Section 2.7(B), as applicable. All computations of interest for Advances shall be made by the related Funding
Agent, who shall notify the Facility Administrator, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any determination thereof on or prior to the payment thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(B), as applicable. All computations of interest for Advances
made under the Base Rate shall be made by the applicable Funding Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which
such interest is payable. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each determination by a Funding Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent.

(B) All payments to be made in respect of fees, if any, due to the Administrative Agent from
the Borrower hereunder shall be made on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature (other
than with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17), and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent there are insufficient funds in the Administrative Agents Account, to make any payment under
this clause (B) when due, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent all amounts due that remain unpaid.
Section 2.14 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any
payment hereunder or under the Advances shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of
payment of interest.
Section 2.15 Inability to Determine Rates.
(A) Subject to clauses (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) of this Section 2.15, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Accrual
Period:
(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Benchmark (including because any screen rate necessary to determine such rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Accrual Period (or for such
day); provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time with respect to such Benchmark; or
(ii)
the Administrative Agent is advised by any Lender(s) that the applicable Benchmark for such Interest Accrual Period (or for such day) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their
Advance(s) for such Interest Accrual Period (or for such day) ; provided that no Lender shall make such determination unless such Lender is generally making similar determinations upon, or otherwise similarly enforcing its agreements with,
companies of substantially the same industry as the Borrower; and provided further that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose confidential information about any other borrowers;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the interest rate applicable to Advances that would otherwise be funded or maintained based on
the applicable Benchmark shall be the Base Rate.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if
a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with
clause (1) or (2) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of
such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in
accordance with clause (2) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in
respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders 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 Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from
the Majority Lenders.
(C) [Reserved].
(D) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the
Borrower) 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 or any other Transaction Document.
(E) The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the
effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period;
provided that any failure by the Administrative Agent to so notify the Borrower and/or any Lender shall not affect the Administrative Agents right to take or refrain from taking any action permitted under this Section 2.15. Any
determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.15, 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 or any selection, 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 or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15.

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) and either (a) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other
information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (in consultation with the Borrower) or (b) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has
provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) may modify the definition of
Interest Accrual Period for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause
(i) above either (a) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (b) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be
representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) may modify the definition of Interest Accrual Period for all Benchmark settings at or after such time
to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(G) Upon the Borrowers receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark
Unavailability Period, any Advance that would otherwise be funded or maintained based on the relevant Benchmark shall during such Benchmark Unavailability Period instead be funded or maintained based on the Base Rate. During any Benchmark
Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any
determination of the Base Rate.
(H) If any Lender determines that requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or
application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Advances with respect to which the Cost of Funds is based on the Benchmark as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of the related Non-Conduit Lender hereunder to make an Advance with respect to which the Cost of Funds is based on the Benchmark shall be suspended forthwith and (ii) the Cost of Funds with respect to any outstanding Advances
shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, automatically be converted to the Base Rate on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period or within such earlier period as required by Law, in each case until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. The Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to each Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for
any reasonable and documented costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or
maintain the Advances hereunder. Such Lenders notice of such costs, as certified to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.16 Extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date or Facility Maturity Date. No
earlier than ninety (90) days, and no later than sixty (60) days, prior to the then Scheduled Commitment Termination Date or Facility Maturity Date, the Borrower may deliver written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent
requesting an extension of such Scheduled Commitment Termination Date or Facility Maturity Date, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall respond to such request no later than thirty (30) days following the date of its receipt of such
request, indicating whether it is considering such request and preliminary conditions precedent to any extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date or the Facility Maturity Date, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent determines to
include in such response. The Administrative Agents failure to respond to a request delivered by the Borrower
[***] = Certain
information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.
-20-
pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not be deemed to constitute any agreement by the Administrative Agent to any such extension. The granting of any extension of the Scheduled Commitment
Termination Date or the Facility Maturity Date, as applicable, requested by the Borrower shall be in the mutual discretion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of all Lender Groups).
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(A) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17 the term applicable Law includes FATCA.
(B) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document
shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any
Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(C) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Law, or at the option of a Funding Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(D) Indemnification by
the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to each Funding Agent), or by a Funding Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(E) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Non-Conduit Lender shall severally indemnify each Funding Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Non-Conduit
Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Funding Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Non-Conduit Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by a Funding Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
[***] = Certain
information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.
-21-
any Non-Conduit Lender by its Funding Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Non-Conduit Lender
hereby authorizes its Funding Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Non-Conduit Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by such Funding Agent to the Non-Conduit Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Funding Agent under this paragraph (E).
(F) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to
this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to each Funding Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Funding Agent.
(G) Status of Recipients. (i) Any Recipient that is entitled to
an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower,
the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate
of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the related Funding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the
Paying Agent or such Funding Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Recipients
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent on
or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(b) any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the
Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

-22-
(1) in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of an income tax

respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E

Certificate) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(4) to the extent a Recipient is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Recipient may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each
such direct and indirect partner;
(c) any Recipient which is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in
U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made; and

-23-
(d) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Transaction Document would be
subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent
such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or such Funding Agent as
may be necessary for the Borrower, the Paying Agent and such Funding Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipients obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount,
if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the related Funding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(H) Forms for Paying Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent shall deliver to the Paying Agent on or before the first
Payment Date, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable, certifying that the Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent is exempt
from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. The Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent agrees that if such Internal Revenue Service Form previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or
promptly notify the Paying Agent and the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(I) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If
any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (I) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (I), in no event will the indemnified party be required
to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (I) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would
have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This
paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(J) Survival. Each partys obligations under this Section 2.17 shall
survive the resignation or replacement of a Funding Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction
Document.
Section 2.18 Request for Borrowing Exceeding Aggregate Commitment.
(A) Notice. The Borrower may, from time to time during the Availability Period (and, with respect to the Class B Lenders, so long
as the Class B Availability Termination Date shall not have occurred), prior to the issuance of a Notice of Borrowing, send a written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Group setting forth the Borrowers intent to request a
borrowing that will cause the Aggregate Outstanding Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment (but not the (i) Maximum Facility Amount, (ii) with respect to the Class A Lenders, the Class A Maximum Facility Amount,
(iii) with respect to the Class B-I Lenders, the Class B-I Maximum Facility Amount and (iv) with respect to the
Class B-II Lenders, the Class B-II Maximum Facility Amount) then in effect. Such notice shall be sent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the
date on which the Borrower intends to send the related Notice of Borrowing and shall set forth the amount by which the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Advances (after giving effect to such borrowing) will exceed the Aggregate Commitment and the
related Funding Date.
(B) Approval/Disapproval. Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 2.18(A) by the Funding
Agents, each Funding Agent shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, obtain the written approval or disapproval of each Non-Conduit Lender in the related Lender Group regarding
the requested Advances, which approval shall be granted or not granted in the sole discretion of the Non-Conduit Lenders. If the making of the requested Advances is approved by each of the Non-Conduit Lenders so requested, the Borrower shall, in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 2.4, send the related Notice of Borrowing. Any approved Advances to be made by the
Lenders in the related Lender Group shall be funded within such Lender Group pursuant to any allocation as agreed to by all of the members of such Lender Group. If the making of the requested Advances is not approved by any Non-Conduit Lender so requested, then the Borrower shall, prior to sending its Notice of Borrowing, modify the same in a manner sufficient to ensure that the requested borrowing does not cause the Aggregate
Outstanding Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment then in effect, as applicable. If the making of the requested Advances is approved by one or more Non-Conduit Lenders so requested and not approved by
one or more Non-Conduit Lender so requested, the approving Non-Conduit Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make all or a portion of the Advance
requested of the non-approving Non-Conduit Lenders, and the Borrower shall, in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 2.4, send the related Notice of
Borrowing.
[***] = Certain
information has been excluded from this exhibit because it is both not material and would likely cause harm to the company if publicly disclosed.
-25-
(C) Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, if the making of an Advance by a Lender
Group that would cause the Aggregate Outstanding Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as applicable, is approved, each Non-Conduit Lenders Commitment shall be increased solely to the extent such Non-Conduit Lender approved the Advance. Each Non-Conduit Lenders Commitment shall otherwise remain as set forth on Exhibit E unless increased and/or reduced from
time to time in accordance with Section 2.6 or amended in connection with assignments made by a Non-Conduit Lender pursuant to Section 10.8. Moreover, the Borrower must go through the procedures
described in Sections 2.18(A) and (B) each time a request for an Advance is made which would cause the sum of all outstanding Advances to exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as applicable.
(D) Nothing set forth in this Section 2.18 requires a Conduit Lender to make any Advance; provided, however, a Conduit
Lender may, in its sole discretion, make the Advance requested pursuant to this Section 2.18 for its Lender Group. Any Advance approved pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.4.

-57-
(B) The Class B Lenders shall have the option (the Class B
Buyout Option), exercised by delivery of a written notice to the Administrative Agent (a Class B Buyout Notice), to purchase all (but not less than all) of the aggregate principal amount of the
Class A Advances, together with interest and fees due with respect thereto, and all other Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders (collectively, the Class B Purchase Rights). Unless the Administrative
Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders), in each case, agrees in writing to a longer time period, the Class B Purchase Right shall be exercisable by any one or more Class B Lenders for a period of 10 Business Days,
commencing on the date on which the Administrative Agent provides the Triggering Event Notice (each such date, a Class B Purchase Right Termination Date). The Class A Lenders shall retain all rights to be
indemnified or held harmless by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to any contingent claims for indemnification or cost reimbursement that are not paid as part of the Class B Buyout Amount. Prior to the
applicable Class B Purchase Right Termination Date, any one or more Class B Lenders may exercise the Class B Purchase Right (each, a Buyout Class B Lender) by delivering the Class B Buyout
Notice, which notice (i) shall be irrevocable (unless the final Class B Buyout Amount is more than $100,000 higher than the Estimated Class B Buyout Amount set forth in the Triggering Event Notice, in which case such Class B
Buyout Option Notice may be revoked in the sole and absolute discretion of the applicable Class B Lender at any time prior to the Class B Buyout Option Exercise Date), (ii) shall state that each such Class B Lender is electing to
exercise the Class B Purchase Rights (ratably based on the aggregate Class B Commitments of the Non-Conduit Lenders related to each Buyout Class B Lender over the aggregate Class B
Commitments of the Non-Conduit Lenders related to all Buyout Class B Lenders or such other allocation as the related Class B Lenders shall agree) and (iii) shall specify the date on which such
right is to be exercised by such Class B Lenders (such date, the Class B Buyout Option Exercise Date), which date shall be a Business Day not more than fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the
Administrative Agent of such notice(s).
(C) On the Business Day prior to the Class B Buyout Option Exercise Date, the Administrative
Agent shall deliver to each Buyout Class B Lender a written notice specifying (without duplication) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Class A Advances, interest and fees with respect thereto (but excluding any prepayment
fees or penalties) and all other Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders then outstanding and unpaid as of the Class B Buyout Option Exercise Date and, subject to and in accordance with Section 10.5, Class A Indemnified
Liabilities then outstanding and unpaid of which it is then aware (collectively, the Class B Buyout Amount). On the Class B Buyout Option Exercise Date, the Administrative Agent shall cause the Class A
Lenders to sell, and the Class A Lenders shall sell, to the Buyout Class B Lenders their respective pro rata portions of the Class B Buyout Amounts, and such Class B Lenders shall purchase from the Class A Lenders, at
their respective pro rata portions of the Class B Buyout Amount, all of the Class A Advances. The Class A Lenders shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent in effectuating such sales of their respective Class A
Advances.
(D) Upon the date of such purchase and sale, each Buyout Class B Lender shall (i) pay to the Class A Lenders its
pro rata portion of the Class B Buyout Amount therefor and (ii) agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Class A Lenders from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and indemnification) arising out of any claim asserted by a third party as a direct result of any acts by the Buyout Class B Lenders occurring after the date of such purchase (but

-58-
excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any
Class A Lender seeking indemnification). The Class B Buyout Amount and other sums shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account set forth in the Triggering Event Notice. In connection with the
foregoing purchase, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A Loans shall be calculated through the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Buyout Class B Lenders to the bank account
designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such account prior to at before 1:00 p.m., New York time and interest shall be calculated to and include the next Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Buyout Class B Lenders to the
bank account designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such Account later than 1:00 p.m., New York time.
(E) Any purchase
pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Class A Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person as to the Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders or otherwise
and without recourse to the Class A Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, except that the Class A Lenders shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of Class A Advances being purchased and that the purchase
price and other sums payable by the Buyout Class B Lenders are true, correct and accurate amounts, (ii) that the Class A Lenders shall convey all right, title and interest in and to the Class A Advances free and clear of any
Liens of the Class A Lenders or created or suffered to exist by the Class A Lenders, (iii) as to the absence of any claims made or threatened in writing against the Class A Lenders related to the Class A Advances, and
(iv) the Class A Lenders are duly authorized to assign the Class A Advances.
Section 6.4 Sale of
Collateral. (A) The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to this Article VI, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the SAP
Lockbox Account Control Agreement shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all Collateral shall have been sold or until all Obligations (other than
contingent obligations not then due) hereunder have been paid in full. The Administrative Agent acting on its own or through an agent, may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale.
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, but subject in all events to clause (v) of this Section 6.4(B), if
the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) elects to solicit and accept bids in connection with, and to sell or dispose of, the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a notice (a
Collateral Sale Notice) of such sale to the Borrower and the Lenders. The date of the intended sale of Collateral (the Intended Collateral Sale Date) need not be specified in the Collateral Sale Notice but shall
be a date after the related Class B Purchase Right Termination Date described in Section 6.3(B). The Collateral Sale Notice shall include the following (including supporting detail) without duplication: (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Class A Advances, interest and fees with respect thereto (but excluding any prepayment fees or penalties), the fees, expenses and indemnities due the Administrative Agent, and all other Obligations owing to the Class A
Lenders then outstanding and unpaid, (ii) the Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders expected to accrue through the Intended Collateral Sale Date (provided that any such amounts that are not earned or actually due and owing as of
the Intended Collateral Sale Date shall not be required to be paid on the Intended Collateral Sale Date) and (iii) the amount of Class A Indemnified Liabilities. Following receipt of the Collateral Sale Notice:

-59-
(i) The Class B Lenders shall have the right to purchase all (but not
less than all) of the Collateral (the Class B Collateral Purchase Right) at a price equal to (without duplication) the aggregate principal amount of the Class A Advances, interest and fees with respect
thereto (but excluding any prepayment fees or penalties), the fees, expenses and indemnities due the Administrative Agent, and all other Obligations owing to the Class A Lenders then outstanding and unpaid as of the Intended Collateral Sale
Date and, subject to and in accordance with Section 10.5, Class A Indemnified Liabilities then outstanding and unpaid of which it is then aware (collectively, the Class B Collateral Purchase Amount).
If any Class B Lender desires to exercise its Class B Collateral Purchase Right, it shall send a written notice (a Class B Collateral Exercise Notice) to the Administrative Agent no later than the
thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of the Collateral Sale Notice (the Class B Collateral Exercise Deadline) irrevocably and unconditionally agreeing to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Collateral on a
Business Day which is no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of its Class B Collateral Exercise Notice (the Class B Collateral Purchase Date) at a price equal to the Class B
Collateral Purchase Amount.
(ii) If the Administrative Agent receives only one Class B Collateral Exercise Notice
prior to the Class B Collateral Exercise Deadline, then the Class B Lender who delivered such Class B Collateral Exercise Notice shall be deemed to have exercised the Class B Collateral Purchase Right and shall be obligated to
purchase all (but not less than all) of the Collateral on the Class B Collateral Purchase Date on terms and at a price equal to the Class B Collateral Purchase Amount.
(iii) If the Administrative Agent receives more than one Class B Collateral Exercise Notice prior to the Class B
Collateral Exercise Deadline (the senders of such Class B Collateral Exercise Notice, each a Bidder), the Administrative Agent shall schedule a meeting or conference call (the Final Auction) for 10:00 a.m.
(or such other time as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Bidder) on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Class B Collateral Purchase Date. At such meeting or on such call, each Bidder shall be entitled
to make one or more irrevocable and unconditional bids to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Collateral on the Class B Collateral Purchase Date at an all cash price greater than the Class B Collateral Purchase Amount. The Final
Auction shall conclude upon the earlier of (a) the time when all Bidders (other than the Bidder who made the then highest bid) confirm they will not make any further bids and (b) thirty (30) minutes having elapsed since the making of the
then highest bid. The Bidder that has made the highest bid when the Final Auction has concluded shall be deemed to have exercised the Class B Collateral Purchase Right and shall be obligated irrevocably and unconditionally to purchase all (but
not less than all) of the Collateral on the Class B Collateral Purchase Date at a price equal to such highest bid.

-60-
(iv) If the Administrative Agent receives no Class B Collateral
Exercise Notice prior to the Class B Collateral Exercise Deadline or the sale of the Collateral is for any reason not consummated on the Class B Collateral Purchase Date, the Class B Collateral Purchase Right shall terminate
automatically without notice or any action required on the part of any Person and the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, proceed with a sale of the Collateral (or rights or interests therein), at one or more public
or private sales as permitted by law. Each of the Lenders may bid on and purchase the Collateral (or rights or interest therein) at such a sale.
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.4(B), the Majority Lenders agree not to instruct
the Administrative Agent to solicit and accept bids in connection with, or to sell or dispose of, the Collateral following the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and until (i) no Class B Lender shall have duly delivered to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.3 a Class B Buyout Notice for such Class B Lender on or prior to the related Class B Purchase Right Termination Date or (ii) the Class B Lenders who have delivered timely
Class B Buyout Notice(s) shall have failed to pay the Class B Buyout Amount for such Class B Lender in full on the related Class B Buyout Option Exercise Date all in accordance with Section 6.3.
(C) If the Class B Lenders do not elect to exercise the Class B Collateral Purchase Right prior to the Class B Collateral
Exercise Deadline, then the Administrative Agent shall sell the Collateral as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.4 and pursuant to the other Transaction Documents. The Class B Lenders shall also have the right to bid for and purchase
the Collateral offered for sale at a public auction conducted by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 6.4 and the other Transaction Documents and, upon compliance with the terms of any such sale, may hold, retain and dispose of
such property without further accountability therefor. Any Class B Lender purchasing Collateral at such a sale may set off the purchase price of such property against amounts owing to it in payment of such purchase price up to the full amount owing
to it so long as the cash portion of such purchase price equals or exceeds either the (x) cash portion of the next highest bidder in such auction or (y) amount required to pay off the Class A Obligations in full.
(D) Unless otherwise stipulated at the time of sale, the Collateral or any portion thereof are to be sold on an as is-where is basis.
(E) The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale
(whether public or private) of the Collateral or any part thereof at any sale pursuant to this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and at the written direction of the Majority Lenders. Each of the Borrower and the Secured Parties
hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel
is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Laws, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority, and the Borrower and the Secured Parties further agree that such compliance
shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Administrative Agent be liable or accountable to the Borrower or the Secured Parties for any
discount allowed by reason of the fact that the Collateral or any part thereof is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

ARTICLE VII
The Administrative Agent and Funding Agents
Section 7.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Administrative Agent is appointed by the Funding Agents
and the Lenders (and by each Qualifying Hedge Counterparty by execution of a Qualifying Hedge Counterparty Joinder, if applicable) as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and each of the Funding Agents and
the Lenders and each Qualifying Hedge Counterparty irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Funding Agent and such Lender and such Qualifying Hedge Counterparty with the rights and duties
expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term
Administrative Agent, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Funding Agent or Lender or any Qualifying Hedge Counterparty by reason of this Agreement and
that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the representative of the Funding Agents, the Lenders and each Qualifying Hedge Counterparty with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York, and (C) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each of the Funding Agents, the Lenders and each Qualifying Hedge Counterparty agree to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach
of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Funding Agent, each Lender and each Qualifying Hedge Counterparty waives.
Section 7.2 Powers. Each Funding Agent, Lender and Qualifying Hedge Counterparty authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action on such Funding Agents, Lenders or Qualifying Hedge Counterpartys behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents as are
specifically delegated or granted to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and
responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and in the other Transaction Documents. The Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. The Administrative
Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or in any of the other Transaction Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Funding Agent, Lender or Qualifying Hedge Counterparty; and nothing herein or any of the other Transaction Documents,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Section 7.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Borrower, any Funding Agent, any Lender or any Qualifying Hedge Counterparty for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent
under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents except to the extent such action or inaction is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely
from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or (B) breach of contract by such Person with respect to the Transaction Documents. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any
action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Transaction Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Lenders as directed by the terms of this Agreement or other Transaction Document, or, in the absence of such direction, the Majority Lenders, and such instructions and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Loan Notes. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing

action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the
applicable Lenders.

financial condition of any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations, the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates.
Section 7.5 Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Transaction Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Funding Agents, the Lenders or

relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR
SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such
Indemnitee Agent Partys gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Agent

Section 7.9 Successor Administrative Agent.
(A) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Funding Agents, each Qualifying Hedge

duties in such capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agents resignation hereunder in

Agent with a successor of their choosing, whereupon such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and references herein to the Administrative Agent shall mean such successor agent,
effective upon its appointment; and such former Administrative Agents rights, powers and duties in such capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the
parties to this Agreement. After any terminated Administrative Agents termination hereunder as such agent, the provisions of this Article VII and Sections 2.17,
2.12, 10.5 and 10.6 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

such appointment within thirty (30) days after the exiting Administrative Agents giving notice of resignation or receipt of notice of removal, then the exiting Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a
successor Administrative Agent (but only if such successor is reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders) or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.
(D) If (i) the Class A Commitments of the Lenders in the CS Lender Group have expired or terminated and all Obligations due and
owing to the Class A Lenders in the CS Lender Group have been reduced to zero or (ii) any Class B Lender or Lenders elect to purchase and does purchase all Class A Advances funded by the Class A Lenders pursuant to
Section 6.3 on the date on which circumstance described in either preceding clause (i) or (ii) occurs, Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch (or its successor or assign under this Agreement) shall assign, at the direction of the Majority
Lenders, to the Person specified by the Majority Lenders, and such assignee shall assume (and shall be deemed to have assumed) all of Credit Suisse AG, New York Branchs (or its successor or assigns) rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without further act or deed on the part of the Administrative Agent (or such other Person) or any of the other parties to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document; provided that the provisions of this Article VII and Sections 2.17, 2.12, 10.5 and 10.6 of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit of Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch (or its successor or assign) as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

Section 7.10 Transaction Documents; Further Assurances.
(A) Each Non-Conduit Lender, each Funding Agent and each Qualifying Hedge Counterparty authorizes
the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and each Lender, each Funding Agent and each Qualifying Hedge Counterparty authorizes the Administrative Agent to take all action contemplated by such
documents in its capacity as Administrative Agent. Each Lender, each Funding Agent and each Qualifying Hedge Counterparty agrees that no Lender, no Funding Agent and no Qualifying Hedge Counterparty, respectively, shall have the individually to seek
to realize upon the security granted by any Transaction Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, the Funding Agents and each Qualifying

(B) Any Funding Agent may (in their sole discretion and expense), at any
time, have their Advances rated by Moodys, S&P, DBRS, Inc., A.M. Best or Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. Any such rating shall not be a condition precedent to closing the credit facility or the making of the Advances as set forth in
this Agreement. The Borrower, Sunnova Management, and the Parent shall provide reasonable assistance to obtain such rating. For the avoidance of doubt, any such rating shall not be a condition precedent to the exercise of any rights of the Borrower
or Sunnova Management under this Agreement. Any costs or fees associated with the rating of the Advances shall be borne by the Funding Agent and the Lenders.
(C) Each Lender, by funding an Advance, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Transaction

Section 7.12 Funding Agent Appointment; Nature of
Relationship. Each Funding Agent is appointed by the Lenders in its Lender Group as their agent hereunder, and such Lenders irrevocably authorize such Funding Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lenders with the rights and
duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents. Each Funding Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term
Administrative Agent, it is expressly understood and agreed that no Funding Agent shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement and that each Funding Agent is merely acting as the representative of
the Lenders in its Lender Group with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In its capacity as the related Lenders contractual representative, each Funding Agent (A) does not
have any implied duties and does not assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (B) is a representative of the Lenders in its Lender Group within the meaning of Section 9-102 of
the UCC as in effect in the State of New York and (C) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each of the Lenders
agrees to assert no claim against their Funding Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender waives.
Section 7.13 Funding Agent Powers. Each Lender authorizes the Funding Agent in its Lender Group to take such
action on such Lenders behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to the Funding Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with
such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Funding Agents shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and in the other Transaction Documents. The Funding Agents may exercise
such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. The Funding Agents shall not have, by reason hereof or in any of the other Transaction Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and
nothing herein or any of the other Transaction Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Funding Agents any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents except as
expressly set forth herein or therein.
Section 7.14 Funding Agent Exculpatory Provisions. Neither
any Funding Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted by such Funding Agent under or in connection with any of the Transaction
Documents except to the extent such action or inaction is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from (A) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Person or (B) breach of contract by such Person with respect to the Transaction Documents. Each Funding Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in
connection herewith or any of the other Transaction Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Funding Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof
from each of the Lenders in its Lender Group as directed by the terms of this Agreement or other Transaction Document, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all such Lenders. Without
prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Funding Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Transaction Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction
by the Lenders in its Lender Group pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such

upon any Loan Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper, communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and
shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it with due care; and (iii) no Lender shall
have any right of action whatsoever against the Funding Agents as a result of such Funding Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the
applicable Lenders.
Section 7.15 No Funding Agent Responsibility for Certain Matters. Neither any
Funding Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents
furnished or made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Facility Administrator or Parent or their respective affiliates to the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Lender or any Qualifying Hedge Counterparty in connection with the Transaction

to the use of the proceeds of the Advances or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Funding Agents shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever to make, verify, or recompute any numerical information or other calculations under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including any numerical
information and other calculations included in any Borrowing Base Certificate, Facility Administrator Report or otherwise, and the Funding Agents shall have no duty or liability to confirm, verify or review the contents, and shall not be responsible
for the accuracy or content, of any documents, certificates or opinions delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In addition, the Funding Agents shall have no duty or liability to determine whether any Solar
Asset is an Eligible Solar Asset or to inspect the Solar Assets at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Borrowers, the Facility Administrators or the Parents or any of their respective
affiliates representations, warranties or covenants. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Funding Agents shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Advances or the component
amounts thereof. The Funding Agents shall not be responsible to any Lender for the perfection or priority of any of the Liens on any of the Collateral, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability,
collectability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations, the Borrower or any of its
respective Affiliates.

Counsel. Each Funding Agent may execute any of its duties as a Funding Agent hereunder by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be
answerable to the Lenders in its Lender Group, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or

agents of the Administrative Agent (each, an Indemnitee Funding Agent Party), to the extent that such Indemnitee Funding Agent Party shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, (A) for any reasonable and documented expenses
incurred by such Indemnitee Funding Agent Party on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administrations and enforcement of the Transaction Documents and (B) for and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee
Funding Agent Party in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee Funding Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE FUNDING AGENT PARTY; provided, no Lender shall
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Funding Agent Partys gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Funding Agent Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee
Funding Agent Party, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee Funding Agent Party may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided

Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 7.18 Funding Agent Rights as a Lender. The agency
hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon any Funding Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its Commitment and Advances made by it and
the Loan Notes (if any) issued to it, each Funding Agent shall have
the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Transaction Document as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term Lender shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include such Funding Agent in its

Section 7.20 Funding Agent Successor Funding Agent.
(A) Any Funding Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders in its Lender Group, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower. If a Funding Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then the Lenders in the applicable Lender Group shall appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Funding Agent
and references herein to such Funding Agent shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment; and such former Funding Agents rights, powers and duties in such capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or

Class A Lenders, that, before the date that is one year and one day after the termination of this Agreement or, if longer, the expiration of the then applicable preference period plus one day, the holders of the Obligations of the Class B
Lenders shall not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case
against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the

(vi) In the event that the Paying Agent has or
subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Paying Agent Account or any financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited thereto or any security entitlement with respect thereto, the Paying
Agent hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the financial assets, funds, cash or other
property credited to any Paying Agent Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, bankers lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties (except that the Paying Agent may set-off (i) all amounts due to the Paying Agent in its capacity as securities intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine
maintenance and operation of the Paying Agent Accounts, and (ii) the face amount of any checks that have been credited to the Paying Agent Accounts but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).
(vii) Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the
banks jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the security intermediarys jurisdiction (within the meaning of
Section 8-110 of the UCC).
(viii) If, at any time, the Paying Agent resigns,
is removed hereunder or ceases to meet the eligibility requirements of an Eligible Institution, the Facility Administrator, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall within thirty (30) days establish a new Collection
Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, the SAP Revenue Account, and Takeout Transaction Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
transfer any cash and/or any investments held therein or with respect thereto to such new Collection Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, or Takeout Transaction Account, as applicable. From the date
such new Collection Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, Liquidity Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, or Takeout Transaction Account is established, it shall be the Collection Account, Supplemental Reserve Account,
Liquidity Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, or Takeout Transaction Account hereunder, as applicable.

established, in writing, to invest the funds held in such accounts in one or more Permitted Investments. Absent such written direction, such funds shall remain uninvested. All investments of funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Liquidity
Reserve Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, or Takeout Transaction Account shall be uninvested so that such funds will be available on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the funds are to be disbursed
from such account, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein. All interest derived from such Permitted Investments shall be deemed to be investment proceeds and shall be deposited into such account to be distributed in accordance with
the requirements hereof. The taxpayer identification number associated with the Collection Account, the Liquidity Reserve Account, Supplemental Reserve Account, SAP Revenue Account, and Takeout Transaction Account shall be that of the Borrower, and
the Borrower shall report for federal, state and local income tax purposes the income, if any, earned on funds in such accounts.

the extent no Event of Default or Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, has been appointed hereunder. The Paying Agent may be removed at any time for cause by at least thirty (30) days prior written notice

Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Paying Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the exiting Paying Agents giving notice of resignation or
receipt of notice of removal, then the exiting Paying Agent may, at the sole expense (including all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys reasonable and documented fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such petition) of the
Borrower, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Paying Agent hereunder by a successor Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the exiting Paying Agent, and the exiting Paying Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any exiting Paying Agents resignation hereunder,

any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (each, a Proceeding (including any Proceedings under environmental laws)) relating to the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, document, instrument or transaction related
thereto, the use of proceeds thereof and the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such Proceedings are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any
other third party, and to reimburse each Indemnitee upon written demand therefor (together with reasonable back-up documentation supporting such reimbursement request) for any reasonable and documented legal

and/or one regulatory counsel in any material relevant jurisdiction); provided, that the foregoing indemnity and reimbursement obligation will not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to
(A) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) to the extent they are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful
misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of, or with respect to Indemnitees other than the Paying Agent or the Verification Agent, material breach of the Transaction Documents by, such Indemnitee or any of its affiliates or controlling persons or
any of the officers, directors, employees, advisors or agents of any of the foregoing or (ii) arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of their Affiliates
and that is brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as Paying Agent, agent, arranger or any other similar role in connection with the Transaction Documents) or (B) any settlement
entered into by such Indemnitee without the Borrowers written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). This Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,
liabilities, claims and damages arising from any non-Tax Proceeding. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the discharge, termination or assignment of this Agreement or any related agreement
or the earlier of the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent or the Verification Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.5, the provisions of this Section shall be applied without prejudice to, and the provisions
shall not have the effect of diminishing, the rights of the Paying Agent and any Paying Agent Indemnified Parties under Section 9.5 of this Agreement or any other provision of any Transaction Document providing for the indemnification of any
such Persons.
Section 10.6 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and
documented costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recording, administration, modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement, the Loan Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder,
including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender and the Paying Agent with respect thereto and with respect
to advising the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Paying Agent as to their respective rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses,
if any (including reasonable and documented counsel fees and expenses) (A) in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Loan Notes and the other documents to be
delivered hereunder and (B) incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Paying Agent in connection with the transactions described herein and in the other Transaction Documents, or any potential Takeout Transaction, including in any
case reasonable and documented counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 10.6. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent or its counsel may
at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, engage professional consultants selected by the Administrative Agent to conduct additional due diligence with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including
(A) review and independently assess the existing methodology employed by the Borrower in allocating Collections with respect to the Collateral, assess the reasonableness of the methodology for the equitable allocation of those Collections and
make any recommendations to amend the methodology, if appropriate, (B) review the financial forecasts submitted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and assess the reasonableness and feasibility of those forecasts and make any
recommendations based on that review, if appropriate, and (C) verify the asset base of the Borrower and the Borrowers valuation of their assets, as well

-95-
as certain matters related thereto. The reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such professional consultants, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.6, shall be at the
sole cost and expense of the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all Other Taxes and agrees to save the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or
resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such Other Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.6, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the costs or expenses of the Lenders following an Event
of Default if such costs or expenses are related to disputes among the Lenders.
Section 10.7 Right of
Set-off; Ratable Payments; Relations Among Lenders.
(A) Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, and subject to the prior payment of Obligations owed to the Paying Agent, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by and other indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Agreement at any time owing to the Administrative Agent or
such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Loan Notes, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lenders shall
have made any demand under this or the Loan Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and
application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this
Section 10.7(A) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have.
(B) If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Advances in a greater proportion than that received by any
other Lender, such other Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Advances held by the Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable share of Advances. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff
or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon written demand, to take such action necessary
such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
(C) Except with respect to the exercise of set-off rights of any Lender in accordance with
Section 10.7(A), the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder or with
respect to any Collateral or Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of the other Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, at the direction of the Administrative Agent.
(D) The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set
forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

Section 10.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.
(A) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Paying Agent, the Verification Agent, the Facility
Administrator and the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right assign to its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and any assignment by Borrower in violation of this Section 10.8 shall be null and void. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, assign all or any
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement any Loan Note to a Federal Reserve Bank and each Conduit Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Program Support Provider; provided, that no such
assignment or pledge shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or any part or portion of, or may grant participations to one or more banks or other entities
in all or any part or portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, its Commitment, its Loan Notes or its Advances); provided that during the Availability Period (or, with respect to the Class B Lenders,
prior to the Class B Availability Termination Date), no Lender may transfer or assign any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Note to a Disqualified Lender; provided further that each such assignment
(A) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto or any other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) shall either be made (i) to a Permitted Assignee or (ii) to a Person that is acceptable to the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default or Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing.
(B) If any assignment or participation is made to a Disqualified Lender in violation of this Section 10.8, the Borrower may upon notice
to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) purchase or prepay the Advances held by such Disqualified Lender by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such
Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Advances, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.8), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other entities at the lesser of (x) the principal amount
thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.
Disqualified Lenders (A) will not, absent an Event of Default or consent from the Borrower (x) have the right to receive financial
reports that are not publicly available, Facility Administrator Reports or other reports or confidential information provided to Lenders by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (other than Tax reporting information with respect to the Advances),
(y) attend or participate in meetings with the Borrower attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site maintained by the Borrower or Administrative Agent to provide Lenders with confidential information
or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction

-97-
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each Disqualified Lender will be
deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation, each Disqualified Lender party
hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be
designated pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such
plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by a bankruptcy court (or other applicable court
of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).
(C) Upon, and to the extent of, any assignment (unless otherwise stated
therein) made by any Lender hereunder, the assignee or purchaser of such assignment shall be a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide
documentation pursuant to Section 2.17(G)) of a Lender hereunder. Each Funding Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the Register) for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders in its Lender Group, the outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of the Advances owing to each Lender in its Lender Group pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and any
assignment of such outstanding Advances. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Paying Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(D) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participation interests in its Advances and obligations hereunder (each such
recipient of a participation a Participant); provided that after giving effect to the sale of such participation, such Lenders obligations hereunder and rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, all amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and all rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment
hereof shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation interest, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender and not be obligated to
deal with such participant. The Participant shall have no right to affect such Lenders vote or action with respect to any matter requiring such Lenders vote or action under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall,
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of each Participants interest in the
Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the Participant Register); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participants interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document)
[***] = Certain

-98-
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining
a Participant Register. Each recipient of a participation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.17(G)), hereunder
with respect to the rights and benefits so participated as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder, except that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 2.17 than its participating Lender would
have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
(E) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) a Lender may pledge as collateral, or grant a security
interest in, all or any portion of its rights in, to and under this Agreement to a security trustee in connection with the funding by such Lender of Advances without the consent of the Borrower; provided that no such pledge or grant shall
release such Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) a Conduit Lender may at any time, without any requirement to obtain the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, pledge or grant a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of capital and yield) under this Agreement to a collateral agent or trustee for its commercial paper program.
(F) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective
unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate
(which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of
Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances in accordance with its Lender Group Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (F), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed
to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

not be required to act as a commodity pool operator as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or be required to undertake regulatory filings related to this Agreement in connection therewith.
Section 10.24 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Transaction Documents
provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, QFC Credit Support and each such QFC a Supported QFC), the parties acknowledge and
agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations
promulgated thereunder, the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact
be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the
event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a Covered Party) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support
(and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the
transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United
States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or

respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
Benchmark Unavailability Period shall mean the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement
