1.1 General Terms
(a) For purposes of the Transaction Documents and all Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits thereto, in addition to the definitions above and elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the terms listed in this Article I shall have the meanings given such terms in this Article I.

Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. The word “law” shall be construed as referring to all statutes, rules, regulations, codes and other laws (including official rulings and interpretations thereunder having the force of law or with which affected Persons customarily comply), and all judgments, orders and decrees, of all Governmental Authorities. Unless the context requires otherwise (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument
or other document as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (ii) any definition of or reference to any statute, rule or regulation shall be construed as referring thereto as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (including by succession of comparable successor laws), (iii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns (subject to any restrictions on assignment set forth herein) and, in the case of any Governmental Authority, any other Governmental Authority that shall have succeeded to any or all functions thereof, (iv) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (v) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement and (vi) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

2.10 Power of Attorney
Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney for Borrower (without requiring Administrative Agent to act as such) with full power of substitution to do the following: (i) indorse the name of Borrower upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders and other instruments for the payment of money that are payable to Borrower and constitute collections on the Receivables; (ii) execute and/or file in the name of Borrower any financing statements, amendments to financing statements, schedules to financing statements, releases or terminations thereof, assignments, instruments or documents that it is obligated to execute and/or file under any of the Transaction Documents (to the extent Borrower fails to so execute and/or file any of the foregoing within two (2) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s request or the time when Borrower is otherwise obligated to do so); (iii) execute and/or file in the name of Borrower assignments, instruments, documents, schedules and statements that it is obligated to give Administrative Agent under any of the Transaction Documents (to the extent Borrower fails to so execute and/or file any of the foregoing within two (2) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s request or the time when Borrower is otherwise obligated to do so) and (iv) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of Borrower that Administrative Agent may deem necessary to make, create, maintain, continue, enforce or perfect Lenders’ Lien on or rights in any Collateral. In addition, if Borrower breaches its obligation hereunder to direct Collections to the Collection Receipt Accounts, Administrative Agent, as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for such Person pursuant to this paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of Administrative Agent’s officers or authorized signatories (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any federal, state or private payor or fiscal intermediary to pay Collections to the Collection Receipt Accounts or another account designated in writing by Administrative Agent.
2.11 Collateral Account

(b) Withdrawals from the Collateral Account. Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to withdraw or order a transfer of funds from the Collateral Account,
in all events in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall comply with any request of Borrower or Servicer to withdraw or order transfers of funds from the Collateral Account, to the extent such funds either (i) have been mistakenly deposited into the Collateral Account or (ii) relate to items subsequently returned for insufficient funds or as a result of stop payments, provided, however, that if a Default or Event of Default has occurred or in continuing, such withdrawal or transfer shall require the prior written consent of Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In the case of any withdrawal or transfer pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall, or shall direct Servicer to, provide Administrative Agent with notice of such request of withdrawal or transfer, together with reasonable supporting details, five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such requested withdrawal or transfer will occur. Borrower shall require Servicer to deposit all proceeds of the Collateral processed by Servicer to the Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof. On each Payment Date, amounts in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to make the payments and disbursements described in Section 2.4 and this Section 2.11. Administrative Agent shall, subject to customary and standard customer diligence and Administrative Agent’s treasury management process and procedures, provide Borrower and Servicer with on-line access to view account related activity such as deposits to and withdrawals from the Collateral Account. Following the occurrence of and continuance of an Event of Default, Paying Agent shall not comply with any instructions with respect to the Collateral Account from any Person.
(c) Irrevocable Deposit. Any deposit made into the Collateral Account hereunder shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be irrevocable, and the amount of such deposit and any money, instruments, investment property or other property on deposit in, carried in or credited to the Collateral Account hereunder and all interest thereon shall be held in trust by Administrative Agent and applied solely as provided herein.
(d) Recycling. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11, during the Revolving Period, Administrative Agent shall comply with any written instruction provided by Borrower or Servicer at least two (2) Business Days prior to such withdrawal request date to withdraw or order transfers of funds from the Collateral Account for the purchase by the Borrower of additional Eligible Receivables from Seller under a Purchase and Sale Agreement, provided that (i) any such transfer shall not exceed the amount of Excess Collections on deposit in the Collateral Account at such time, (ii) the conditions to Revolving Advances set forth in Section 4.2 with respect to Section 4.2(a)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) shall be satisfied as of such date as if such transfer was a Revolving Advance, and (iii) the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent request for transfer in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto (a “Request for Transfer”), and a Borrowing Base Certificate for such transfer at least two Business Days prior to such transfer, which shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower as of the date of such transfer that the conditions contained in this Section 2.11(d), have been satisfied. No more than two Requests for Transfer will be permitted per month.
2.12 Increase in the Revolving Commitment
(a) During the Revolving Period and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.12, the Borrower may request a Commitment Increase by delivering a Commitment
Increase Request to the Administrative Agent (the date of such request, the “Increase Request Date”).
(b) The Commitment Increase will not be effective unless:
(i) the Administrative Agent consents to the Commitment Increase in its sole discretion;
(ii) each of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Increase Request Date and the Increase Effective Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to any earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date as if made on such date);
(iii) no Early Wind-Down Trigger Event, Regulatory Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the Increase Request Date, at the time of the making of the Commitment Increase, or will result upon the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase;
(iv) receipt of all fees to be received by the Administrative Agent and each Lender on or prior to the Increase Effective Date shall have been received;
(v) any Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of at least $50,000,000;
(vi) following the Increase Effective Date, the Revolving Commitment shall not exceed, in the aggregate together with the original Revolving Commitment and all other Commitment Increases, $350,000,000; and
(vii) all documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence any such increase shall be executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the Increase Effective Date, including, without limitation, an amendment or amendment and restatement of this Agreement to reflect such increase and one or more new or replacement Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents and amendments reasonably prepared by the Administrative Agent in furtherance of the foregoing.
(c) No Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Commitment Increase by increasing the amount of its own Revolving Commitment, which decision shall be made in the sole discretion of each Lender whose Revolving Commitment is being increased. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Initial Class B Lenders shall be required for any Commitment Increase in the Class B Revolving Commitments, regardless of whether such Initial Class B Lenders are participating in such Commitment Increase.
(d) The Administrative Agent and each Lender, shall deliver its consent or rejection to the Commitment Increase Request within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of the Commitment Increase Request. To the extent one or more Lenders has agreed to increase its Revolving
Commitment (each, an “Increasing Lender”), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the increased Revolving Commitments agreed to by the Increasing Lenders will become effective on the date set forth in the related Commitment Increase Request (which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days following the Increase Request Date) (the “Proposed Increase Effective Date”), or such other date as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Increasing Lenders in their sole discretion, provided that Administrative Agent shall have provided written notice thereof to Borrower and each Increasing Lender prior to the Proposed Increase Effective Date (the “Increase Effective Date”).
(e) Subject to Section 2.12(c), on the Increase Effective Date, each Increasing Lender’s portion of the Revolving Commitment will be adjusted in accordance with a revised Schedule C to be provided by the Administrative Agent to each Lender on or prior to the Increase Effective Date.
III. FEES AND OTHER CHARGES
3.1 Computation of Fees; Lawful Limits
All fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Lenders, for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit, then the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if Administrative Agent or Lenders shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under Applicable Law in excess of the such maximum rate, then such excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and charges hereunder, then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower hereunder, and if the then remaining excess interest is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.1 shall control to the extent any other provision of any Transaction Document is inconsistent herewith.
3.2 Default Rate of Interest
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the applicable Interest Rate then in effect at such time with respect to the Obligations shall be increased by the Default Rate. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is waived or ceases to continue, and shall be payable upon demand.
3.3 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
(ii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost, charge, fee, assessment expense (other than Taxes) or deduction affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender or participation therein; or
(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its notes, note principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of funding or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to fund any such Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, then Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan below that which such Lender such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and a description of the cause and a calculation of the increased cost of funding to the Lender, shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 360 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 360-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
3.4 Unused Additional Interest
Pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, Borrower shall pay to each Lender based on its Pro Rata Share, on each Payment Date during the Revolving Period and on the Payment Date immediately following the Due Period in which the Revolving Period ends, unused additional interest for the related Due Period (the “Unused Additional Interest”) equal to the product of (a) the Unused Additional Interest Rate, (b) the average of the Unused Portion for each day during such Due Period and (c) the actual number of days elapsed during the related Due Period divided by 360. Any day occurring (x) during the first 91 days following the Closing Date and (y) during the Amortization Period shall be excluded from any Due Period for purposes of calculating Unused Additional Interest for such Due Period.

V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants as of the Closing Date and as of the date of each Advance as follows:
5.1 Organization and Authority
Borrower is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization. Borrower (a) has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets (including, without limitation, the Collateral) and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as contemplated in the Transaction Documents, and (b) is duly qualified to do business in the jurisdictions set forth in Section 5.1 of Schedule A attached hereto, which are all of the jurisdictions in which failure to so qualify could reasonably be likely to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has all requisite power and authority (i) to execute, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (ii) to acquire the Receivables and other Collateral under a Purchase and Sale Agreement, (iii) to consummate the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (iv) to grant the Liens with regard to the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents to which it is a party. Borrower has no other operations or business other than owning the Receivables. Borrower is not an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act nor controlled by such an “investment company.” No transaction contemplated in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.
5.2 Transaction Documents
The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation by Borrower of the transactions contemplated thereby, (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite action of Borrower and have been duly executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by Borrower; (b) do not violate any material provisions of (i) any Applicable Law or order of any Governmental Authority binding on Borrower or any of its properties, or (ii) the operating agreement (or any other equivalent governing agreement or document) of Borrower, or any agreement between Borrower and its equity owners or among any such equity owners; (c) are not in conflict with, and do not result in a breach or default of or constitute an event of default, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, an event, fact, condition or circumstance which, with notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute or result in a conflict, breach, default or event of default under, any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Borrower is a party, or by which the properties or assets of Borrower is bound; (d) except as set forth herein or therein, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Permitted Liens) upon any of the properties or assets of Borrower, and (e) except for filings in connection with the perfection of Administrative Agent’s Liens, do not require the consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person that has not been obtained except where the failure to so obtain could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. When executed and delivered, each of the Transaction Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity
(whether in a proceeding at law or in equity). The Purchase and Sale Agreements are the only agreements pursuant to which Borrower purchases the Receivables and the related Collateral, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by Borrower and Administrative Agent. Borrower has furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Initial Class B Lender true, correct and complete copies of the Purchase and Sale Agreements, the Republic Bank Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Republic Bank Program Agreement, the TAB Bank Participation Agreement, the TAB Bank Program Agreement, the CC Bank Participation Agreement and the CC Bank Program Agreement. There is no provision in any Purchase and Sale Agreement or any Bank Program Purchase and Sale Agreement (pursuant to which Receivables owned by Borrower have been acquired) that would restrict the ability of Borrower to collaterally assign its rights thereunder to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders. Each purchase by NetCredit Finance, LLC under a Bank Program Purchase and Sale Agreement constitutes a sale enforceable against creditors of the applicable Bank Partner.
5.3 Subsidiaries, Capitalization and Ownership Interests
Borrower has no Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, and 100% of the outstanding equity interest in Borrower is directly owned (both beneficially and of record) by Intermediate LLC.

Section 5.3 of Schedule A attached hereto, includes, as of the Closing Date, all administrators, managers or managing members or directors of Borrower, Seller, Servicer and Enova, and an organizational chart of Enova and its Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed pursuant to Section 5.16, Borrower does not (i) own any Investment Property or (ii) own any interest or participate or engage in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangements with any Person. Except as set forth in Section 5.3 of Schedule A attached hereto, no Person directly owns greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding Equity Interests of Enova.
5.4 Receivables
Borrower is the lawful owner of, and has good title to, each Receivable, free and clear of any Liens (other than the Lien of this Agreement and any Permitted Liens).
5.5 Other Agreements
Borrower is not (a) a party to any judgment, order or decree or any agreement, document or instrument, or subject to any restriction, which is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on its ability to execute and deliver, or perform under, any Transaction Document or to pay the Obligations or (b) in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition contained in any agreement, document or instrument to which it is a party or to which any of its properties or assets are subject, which default, if not remedied within any applicable grace or cure period, could reasonably be expected to be, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any event, fact, condition or circumstance which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute or result in a conflict, breach, default or event of default under, any of the foregoing which, if not remedied within any applicable grace or cure period could reasonably be expected to be, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.6 Litigation
Except as set forth in Section 5.6 of Schedule A attached hereto, (a) neither Borrower, Seller, Enova, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, Servicer or any Originator is a party to any material pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation related to the business of Borrower, (b) there is no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving Borrower or any Collateral, and, to Borrower’s knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving Servicer, Seller or any Originator or their respective businesses, in any case that could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation by Borrower, Seller, any Originator or Servicer of the transactions contemplated herein, (c) Borrower is not a party or subject to any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Authority, in either case, that could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation by Borrower, Seller, Servicer, any Originator or Enova of the transactions contemplated herein, and (d) Borrower has had no existing accrued and/or unpaid penalties, fines or sanctions imposed by and owing to any Governmental Authority or any other governmental payor.
5.7 Financial Statements and Reports
Any financial statements and financial information relating to Borrower or Enova and its Subsidiaries that may hereafter be delivered to Administrative Agent by Borrower (a) are consistent with the books of account and records of Borrower or Enova, as applicable, (b) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, on a consistent basis throughout the indicated periods, except that the unaudited financial statements contain no footnotes or year-end adjustments, and (c) present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, assets and liabilities and results of operations of Borrower or Enova and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, at the dates and for the relevant periods indicated in accordance with GAAP on a basis consistently applied. Borrower does not have any material obligations or liabilities of any kind required to be disclosed therein that are not disclosed in such financial statements, and since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1, there has not occurred any Material Adverse Change or Material Adverse Effect or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other event or condition that could reasonably be expected to be, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

IX. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT
9.1 Rights and Remedies
(a) In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Article VIII above, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to (and, subject to Sections 9.1(c) and (d), at the request of the Requisite Class A Lenders or Requisite Class B Lenders or both, shall) exercise any and all rights, options and remedies provided for in any Transaction Document, under the UCC or at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to (i) apply any property of Borrower held by
Administrative Agent to reduce the Obligations, (ii) foreclose the Liens created under the Transaction Documents, (iii) realize upon, take possession of and/or sell any Collateral, with or without judicial process, (iv) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the Collateral as Borrower might exercise, (v) collect and send notices regarding the Collateral, with or without judicial process, (vi) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter any premises at which Collateral is located or dispose of the Collateral on such premises without any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and Borrower shall not resist or interfere with such action, (vii) at Borrower’s expense, require that all or any part of the Collateral be assembled and made available to Administrative Agent at any place designated by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, (viii) reduce or otherwise change the advance rates applicable to the Class A Borrowing Base and Class B Borrowing Base and/or the Maximum Loan Amount and/or any component of the Maximum Loan Amount and/or (ix) relinquish or abandon any Collateral or any Lien thereon. Notwithstanding any provision of any Transaction Document, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, at any time that Borrower fails to do so after an Event of Default, without prior notice, to: (A) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the extent required hereunder; and (B) discharge Taxes, levies and/or Liens on any of the Collateral that are in violation of any Transaction Document unless Borrower is in good faith with due diligence by appropriate proceedings contesting those items. Such expenses and advances shall be deemed Advances hereunder and shall be added to the Obligations until reimbursed to Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of the other Lenders, and shall be secured by the Collateral, and such payments by Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of the other Lenders, shall not be construed as a waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or Lenders.
(b) Borrower agrees that notice received at least ten (10) calendar days before the time of any intended public sale, private sale or other disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. At any sale or disposition of Collateral, Administrative Agent or any Class B Lender may (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) purchase all or any part thereof free from any right of redemption by Borrower, which right is hereby waived and released, to the extent permitted by law. Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. In dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, Administrative Agent shall not be required to give priority or preference to any item of Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Collateral with judicial process.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of written instructions for an exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (a “Remedies Direction”) from the Requisite Class A Lenders, the Requisite Class A Lenders shall have the exclusive right (unless the Administrative Agent is then taking action pursuant to a Remedies Direction delivered by the Requisite Class B Lenders in accordance with this Agreement) to direct the Administrative Agent in writing to exercise the rights, options and remedies provided for in the Transaction Documents.
(d) The Requisite Class B Lenders shall be entitled to deliver any Remedies Direction to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.1(a) following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, provided, however, that Requisite Class B Lenders may
not provide (and the Administrative Agent shall not act upon) any Remedies Direction (i) during the Standstill Period with respect to such Event of Default (ii) if the Administrative Agent has received a Remedies Direction from the Requisite Class A Lenders pursuant to Section 9.1(c) hereof that it is then taking action upon, or is then required to take action upon, so long as such actions are timely commenced and pursued with reasonable diligence or Administrative Agent is diligently attempting to vacate any stay or prohibition against such Remedies Direction or (iii) the Administrative Agent has otherwise commenced enforcement actions and is diligently pursuing any remedies concerning the Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the Class B Lenders from accruing interest at the Default Rate, filing proofs of claim in any applicable bankruptcy proceeding or exercising the Class B Lender Purchase Right during the Standstill Period or otherwise.
(e) Notwithstanding receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Remedies Direction as provided in Sections 9.1(c) and (d) hereof, (i) the obligations of the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.1 shall be subject to the rights and benefits of the Administrative Agent in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the Administrative Agent, in any case, shall not be required to pursue any exercise of rights or remedies with respect to an Event of Default that has been cured or waived and (iii) nothing in this Section 9.1 shall be construed to prohibit or limit the Administrative Agent from exercising any rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents to the extent directed by (i) all Lenders or (ii) the Requisite Class A Lenders and the Requisite Class B Lenders collectively.
9.2 Application of Proceeds
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 2.4 hereof), in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Administrative Agent and Lenders have under the Transaction Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, all dividends, interest, rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues, income and other proceeds collected or received from collecting, holding, managing, renting, selling, or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof upon exercise of its remedies hereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) first, to the payment of all outstanding fees, expenses and indemnities due and owing to the Administrative Agent, without regard to any caps, (b) second, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such collection, storage, lease, holding, operation, management, sale, disposition or delivery and of conducting Borrower’s business and of maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements of or to the Collateral, and to the payment of all sums which Administrative Agent or Class A Lenders may be required or may elect to pay, if any, for Taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments that Administrative Agent or Class A Lenders may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, in each such case, in-house and outside documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses, search, audit, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred in connection therewith); (c) third, to the payment of all Obligations owing to Administrative Agent and Class A Lenders in such order as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; (d) fourth, to the payment of all Obligations owing to Class B Lenders in such order as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and (e) fifth, to the payment of any surplus then remaining to Borrower, unless otherwise provided by law or directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided, that Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations of Borrower under the Transaction Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) or any of the other items referred to in this Section (other than Section 9.2(c) to the extent the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations of Borrower under the Transaction Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash).
9.3 Right to Appoint Receiver.
Without limiting and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Administrative Agent and Lenders have under the Transaction Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Administrative Agent and/or any Lender to enforce its rights and remedies in order to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of Borrower and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership including the compensation of the receiver and to the payments as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated.
9.4 Attorney-in-Fact
Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of taking any action permitted under the Transaction Documents that Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable (in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default to protect and realize upon Administrative Agent’s Lien in the Collateral, including the execution and delivery of any and all documents or instruments related to the Collateral in Borrower’s name, and said appointment shall create in Administrative Agent a power coupled with an interest.
9.5 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive
Administrative Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens and/or remedies Administrative Agent and Lenders may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Administrative Agent’s, Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights, Liens or remedies under any Transaction Document, Applicable Law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Transaction Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders described in any Transaction Document are cumulative and are not alternative to or exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent and Lenders otherwise may have. The partial or complete exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other further exercise of such or any other right or remedy.
X. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS
10.1 Waivers
Except as expressly provided for herein, Borrower hereby waives set off, counterclaim, demand, presentment, protest, all defenses with respect to any and all instruments and all notices and demands of any description, and the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand under any Transaction Document. Borrower hereby waives any and all defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any action or procedure brought by Administrative Agent to obtain an order of court recognizing the assignment of, or Lien of Administrative Agent in and to, any Collateral.
10.2 Delay; No Waiver of Defaults
No course of action or delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall impair any such right or operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or preclude any other right or remedy. No waiver by any party to any Transaction Document of any one or more defaults by any other party in the performance of any of the provisions of any Transaction Document shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future default, whether of a like or different nature, and each such waiver shall be limited solely to the express terms and provisions of such waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Transaction Document, by completing the Closing under this Agreement and/or by making Advances, Lender does not waive any breach of any representation or warranty of under any Transaction Document, and all of Administrative Agent’s, Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claims and rights resulting from any such breach or misrepresentation are specifically reserved.
10.3 Jury Waiver
(a) EACH PARTY HEREBY (i) EXPRESSLY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND (ii) AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.
(b) In the event any such claim or cause of action is brought or filed in any United States federal court sitting in the State of California or in any state court of the State of California, and the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 10.3(a) is determined or held to be ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that
all claims and causes of action shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of Los Angeles County, California.

XI. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION
11.1 Effectiveness and Termination
Subject to Administrative Agent’s right to accelerate the Loan and terminate the Revolving Commitments and cease making and funding Advances upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Final Maturity Date, unless terminated sooner as provided in Sections 2.5 or 2.6. All of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of the Final Maturity Date, the Prepayment Date or the date upon which Administrative Agent declares all or any of the Advances and/or the Loan, all interest thereon and all other Obligations to be due and payable pursuant to the terms of Article VIII, as applicable (the “Termination Date”). Notwithstanding any other provision of any Transaction Document, no termination of this Agreement shall affect Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or any of the Obligations existing as of the effective date of such termination, and the provisions of the Transaction Documents shall continue to be fully operative until the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Transaction Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in cash in full. The Liens granted to Administrative Agent under the Security Documents and the financing statements filed pursuant thereto and the rights and powers of Administrative Agent shall continue
in full force and effect until all of the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Transaction Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
11.2 Survival
All obligations, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties, waivers and indemnities made by Borrower in any Transaction Document shall survive the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the Closing, the making and funding of Advances and any termination of this Agreement until all Obligations (other than indemnity obligations of Borrower under the Transaction Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) are fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The obligations and provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.3, 10.1, 10.3, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, 12.3, 12.4, 12.7, 12.9, 12.10, 12.11 and 13.18 shall survive termination of the Transaction Documents and any payment in full of the Obligations.
11.3 Purchase Option
(a) Upon (A) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default described in Article VIII (a), (i), (j) or (k) or (B) the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Class B Lenders of its intent to accelerate the Obligations following the occurrence of any Event of Default (an “Option Event”) the Class B Lenders shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the accrued and unpaid interest, principal, fees, Unused Additional Interest and other Obligations due to the Class A Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents (the “Class A Lender Interests”) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 11.3 (the “Class B Lender Purchase Right”). Upon the occurrence and continuation of such Option Event, the Administrative Agent shall deliver written notice within five (5) Business Days (including supporting detail) to the Class B Lenders of (i) the Class A Lender Interests then outstanding and unpaid as of such date, (ii) the Class A Lender Interests expected to accrue through the Class B Lender Purchase Right Termination Date (as defined below) and (iii) the amount of all liabilities (without duplication) that the Borrower has incurred or is expected to incur in the nature of indemnification obligations of the Borrower hereunder which have resulted or could result in loss, cost, damage or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) to the Class A Lenders (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Expected Class A Lender Interests”). The Class B Lender Purchase Right shall be exercisable by the Class B Lenders for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days (the “Class B Lender Purchase Right Termination Date”), commencing on the date on which the Administrative Agent provides notice to the Class B Lenders of the Expected Class A Lender Interests. Prior to the Class B Lender Purchase Right Termination Date, the Class B Lenders may exercise the Class B Lender Purchase Right upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (the “Class B Lender Purchase Option Notice”), which notice shall be irrevocable (unless the final Class A Lender Interest Purchase Amount (as defined below) is more than $100,000 higher than the Expected Class A Lender Interests, calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence, in which case such Class B Lender Purchase Option Notice may be revoked in the sole and absolute discretion of the Class B Lenders at any time prior to the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date). The Class B Lender Purchase Option Notice shall
specify the date on which the Class B Lender Purchase Right is to be exercised by the Class B Lenders (such date, the “Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date”), which shall be a Business Day not more than sixty (60) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Class B Lender Purchase Option Notice. No later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver written notice to the Class B Lenders specifying the final amount of the Class A Lender Interests of which it is then aware, calculated pursuant to the definition above of “Expected Class A Lender Interests” (collectively, the “Class A Lender Interest Purchase Amount”). On the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date, the Class A Lenders shall sell to the Class B Lenders, and the Class B Lenders shall purchase from the Class A Lenders, all of the Class A Lenders’ right, title and interest in and to the Class A Lender Interests, and all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.
(b) On the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date, the Class B Lenders shall pay to the Class A Lenders as the purchase price therefor the Class A Lender Interest Purchase Amount. The Class A Lender Interest Purchase Amount shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank accounts of each Class A Lender as such Class A Lender shall have designated in writing (no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date) to the Class B Lenders for such purpose. If the amounts so paid by the Class B Lenders to the bank accounts designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such bank accounts after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date, interest to and including the next Business Day over the Class A Lender Interest Purchase Amount shall be calculated at the same rate applicable to the Borrower hereunder with respect to the Class A Advances and immediately paid by the Class B Lenders to the Class A Lenders. If the full Class A Lender Interest Purchase Amount (together with any such interest) is not received by the Class A Lenders by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date, the Class A Lender Interests shall not be deemed to have been sold to the Class B Lenders and any amounts remitted to the Class A Lenders shall be returned to the Class B Lenders (pursuant to instruction delivered by the Class B Lenders) no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date, and the Class B Lender Purchase Right shall terminate automatically without notice or any action required on the part of any Person.
(c) By the delivery of the Class B Lender Purchase Option Notice, the Class B Lenders hereby 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 documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of legal counsel) arising out of any claim asserted by a third party as a direct result of any acts of any Class B Lenders occurring after the date of such purchase (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Class A Lender seeking indemnification as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment).
(d) Any purchase pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall be made pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement and be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Class A Lenders as to the Class A Lender Interests or otherwise without recourse to any Class A Lender, except that the Class A Lenders shall represent and warrant: (i) as to the amount of the Class A Lender Interests being purchased and that the Class A Lender Interest Purchase Amount is true, correct and accurate in all material respects, (ii) that such Class A Lender shall convey the Class A Lender Interests free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances of such Class A Lender or created or suffered by such Class A Lender, (iii) to its knowledge, as to all claims made or threatened in writing against such Class A Lender related to the Class A Lender Interests and (iv) such Class A Lender is duly authorized and has taken all necessary corporate action to assign the Class A Lender Interests. Nothing in this Section 13.26 shall, or shall be deemed to, release or terminate any indemnification obligations of the Borrower which by their terms survive the payment of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, and the termination of the Revolving Commitments.
(e) In connection with any such purchase pursuant to this Section 11.3, the Administrative Agent and Class A Lenders shall cooperate with the applicable Class B Lenders and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such agreements and documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions as requested by the applicable Class B Lenders in order to effect the assignment of Liens, Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the Bank Partner Call Letters and any applicable account control agreement) and other rights of the Administrative Agent to the applicable Class B Lenders.
(f) The Administrative Agent agrees that absent Exigent Circumstances, it shall not accelerate the Obligations, sell, assign or dispose of the Collateral or exercise its right to terminate the Servicer during the Class B Review Period. As used in this clause (f), (i) the term "Class B Review Period" shall mean the period beginning on the date on which an Option Event occurs and ending on (x) in the event that the Class B Lenders elect not to exercise the Class B Lender Purchase Option, the Class B Lender Purchase Right Termination Date or (y) in the event that the Class B Lenders elect to exercise the Class B Lender Purchase Option, the Class B Lender Purchase Option Exercise Date; and (ii) the term "Exigent Circumstances" shall mean the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law with respect to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, the insolvency of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, any exercise by a third-party of enforcement rights or remedies with respect to any portion of the Collateral or any event that materially and imminently threatens the ability of the Lenders to realize upon all or a material portion of the Collateral such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment, or abscondment thereof, destruction (other than to the extent covered by insurance or material waste thereof).
(g) The Administrative Agent further acknowledges and agrees that the Class B Lenders shall have the right to submit bids with respect to the Collateral in the event of any private sale, public sale or other disposition of Collateral by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default, notwithstanding any election by the Class B Lenders to not exercise the Class B Lender Purchase Right.
XII. MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue
(a) THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN RELIANCE ON NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A DIFFERENT JURISDICTION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.
(b) BY EXECUTION and delivery of each Transaction Document to which it is a party, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) BORROWER hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.1.

12.2 Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations
(a) Subject to Sections 12.2(f) and (h), and so long as such assignment does not result in there being more than eighty (80) Lenders and Participants in the aggregate, a Lender may at any time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Requisite Class A Lenders and, if the proposed Transferee (defined below) is a Prohibited Assignee, and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Requisite Class B Lenders) and the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), assign all or a portion of its rights and delegate all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) to one or more Persons (a “Transferee”); provided, that Borrower consent shall not be required (i) in connection with an assignment of a Lender’s Advances hereunder, (ii) in connection with a Lender’s assignment of its Revolving Commitment to an Affiliate of such Lender or (iii) upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or Early Wind-Down Trigger Event; provided, further, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such assignment by a Class B Lender shall require the consent of the Requisite Class B Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, no Lender shall assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any interest in the Loan or other Obligation to a Competitor without the prior written consent of Borrower. The Transferee and such Lender shall execute and deliver for acceptance and recording in the Lender Register, a Lender Addition Agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (“Lender Addition Agreement”). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement, (i) the Transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Lender Addition Agreement, have the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Advances or assigned portion thereof, as the case may be, to the extent that such obligations shall have been expressly assumed by the Transferee pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Addition Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but, with respect to matters occurring before such assignment, shall nevertheless continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.4 and 12.7). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the Transferee and that the Transferee shall be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder. Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, or any of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, including Borrower’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers, and duties hereunder or thereunder.
(b) A Lender may at any time sell participations in all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participation to a Participant, (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender
shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iii) the Lender shall remain the holder of the Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (iv) Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (v) all amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.2 by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant under each participation shall, solely for the purposes of Sections 12.4 and 12.7 of this Agreement be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.3 and 13.8 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 13.8(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 13.8(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.3 or 13.8, with respect to any participation, 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. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan (including the Advances made by, and the principal amount of the Loan owing to, and the Revolving Commitments of, each Participant from time to time) or other obligations under any Transaction Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c). 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 (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c) (i) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.5 a copy of each Lender Addition Agreement delivered to it and a written or electronic register (the “Class A Lender Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Class A Lender and the Advances made by, and the principal amount of the Class A Advance owing to, and the Revolving Commitments of, each Class A Lender from time to time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the entries in the Class A Lender Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Class A Lender Register as the owner of the Class A Advance, the Revolving Commitments and the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Class A Lender Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Class A Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (ii) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.5 a copy of each Lender Addition Agreement delivered to it and a written or electronic register (the “Class B Lender Register”, and together with the Class A Lender Register,
each a “Lender Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Class B Lender and the Advances made by, and the principal amount of the Class B Advance owing to, and the Revolving Commitments of, each Class B Lender from time to time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the entries in the Class B Lender Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Class B Lender Register as the owner of the Class B Advance, the Revolving Commitments and the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Class B Lender Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Class B Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no assignment under Section 12.2(a) of any rights or obligations under or in respect of the Loan shall be effective unless and until Administrative Agent shall have recorded the assignment pursuant to Section 12.2(c). Upon its receipt of a Lender Addition Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and a Transferee, Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Lender Addition Agreement and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Lender Register and give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lender and Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it, all or a portion of which are being assigned, and Borrower, at its own expense, shall, upon the request of Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender or the Transferee, as applicable, execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, within five (5) Business Days of any request, new Notes to reflect the interest held by the assigning Lender and its Transferee.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.2 Administrative Agent shall not, as between Borrower and Administrative Agent, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Loan or other Obligations owed to Administrative Agent and Lenders. Administrative Agent may furnish any information concerning Borrower in the possession of Administrative Agent from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to confidentiality requirements hereunder.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Administrative Agent may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loan held by it and the other Transaction Documents and Collateral.
(g) Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Administrative Agent in assigning or selling participations in all or any part of the Loan held by any Lender to another Person identified by such Lender.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, (i) Administrative Agent and its Affiliates shall not be required to execute and deliver a Lender Addition Agreement in connection with any transaction involving its Affiliates or Lenders, (ii) no Lender or funding or financing source of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates shall be considered a Transferee, (iii) there shall be no limitation or restriction on Administrative Agent’s ability to assign or otherwise transfer any Transaction Document to any such Affiliate or Lender or funding or financing source, and (iv) there shall be no limitation or restriction on such Affiliates’ or Lenders’ or financing or funding sources’ ability to assign or otherwise transfer any Transaction
Document, interest in the Loan or Obligation (or any of its rights thereunder or interest therein); provided, however, Administrative Agent shall continue to be liable as a “Lender” under the Transaction Documents unless such Affiliate or Lender or funding or financing source executes a Lender Addition Agreement and thereby becomes a “Lender.”
(i) The Transaction Documents shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders, Transferee, Participant (to the extent expressly provided herein only) and all future holders of the Loan, the Obligations and/or any of the Collateral, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Transaction Document shall be binding upon the Persons other than Administrative Agent that are parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no such Person may assign, delegate or transfer any Transaction Document or any of its rights or obligations thereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Requisite Class A Lenders and, if such assignment is to be made by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, the Requisite Class B Lenders). No rights are intended to be created under any Transaction Document for the benefit of any third party, creditor or incidental beneficiary of Borrower. Nothing contained in any Transaction Document shall be construed as a delegation to Administrative Agent of any other Person’s duty of performance. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME MAY (I) DIVIDE AND REISSUE (WITHOUT SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES OTHER THAN THOSE RESULTING FROM SUCH DIVISION) THE LOAN, AND/OR (II) SELL, ASSIGN OR GRANT PARTICIPATING INTERESTS IN OR TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, INTEREST IN THE LOAN, THE OBLIGATIONS AND/OR THE COLLATERAL TO OTHER PERSONS, IN EACH CASE ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS PROVIDED HEREIN. Each Transferee and Participant shall have all of the rights, obligations and benefits with respect to the Obligations, the Loan, Collateral and/or Transaction Documents held by it as fully as if the original holder thereof; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay under this Agreement to any Transferee or Participant any sum in excess of the sum which it would have been obligated to pay to Administrative Agent had such participation not been effected. Administrative Agent may disclose to any Transferee or Participant all information, reports, financial statements, certificates and documents obtained under any provision of any Transaction Document; provided, that Transferees and Participants shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions contained herein that are applicable to Administrative Agent.
(j) Any Lender may assign or pledge all or any portion of the Loan held by it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security to secure obligations of such Lender, including any assignment or pledge pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided, that any payment in respect of such assigned interest in the Loan made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned interest in the Loan to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
12.3 Application of Payments
To the extent that any payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, defeased or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Administrative Agent and the Liens created hereby shall be revived automatically without any action on the part of any party hereto and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Administrative Agent. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, any payments with respect to the Obligations received shall be credited and applied in such manner and order as Administrative Agent shall decide in its sole discretion.

Without limiting any of the foregoing, Borrower indemnifies the Indemnified Person for all claims for brokerage fees or commissions (other than claims of a broker with whom such Indemnified Person has directly contracted in writing) which may be made in connection with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by or referred to in, or any matter related to, any Transaction Document or any agreement, document or transaction contemplated thereby.
(b) Borrower’s obligations under Sections 3.3 and 13.8 and this Section 12.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the payment in full of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other Obligations.

The captions in the Transaction Documents are intended for convenience and reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Transaction Documents. This Agreement and any waiver or amendment hereto may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents may be executed and delivered by telecopier or other facsimile transmission all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Borrower shall pay, whether or not the Closing occurs, all fees, costs and expenses incurred or earned by Administrative Agent, any Lender, and/or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, portfolio management, documentation and diligence fees and expenses, all search, audit, appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and all other charges and expenses (including, without limitation, UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and wire transfer fees and audit expenses), and reasonable external attorneys’ fees and expenses (including the cost of regulatory counsel), (a) in any effort to enforce, protect or collect payment of any Obligation or to enforce any Transaction Document or any related agreement, document or instrument, (b) in connection with entering into, negotiating, preparing, reviewing and executing the Transaction Documents and/or any related agreements, documents or instruments, including the costs of regulatory counsel, (c) arising in any way out of administration of the Obligations or the taking or refraining from taking by Administrative Agent of any action requested by Borrower, (d) in connection with instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and/or foreclosing on Administrative Agent’s Liens on any of the Collateral under the Transaction Documents, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (e) in defending or prosecuting any actions, claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s transactions with Borrower, (f) in seeking, obtaining or receiving any advice with respect to its rights and obligations under any Transaction Document and any related agreement, document or instrument, (g) arising out of or relating to any Default or Event of Default or occurring thereafter or as a result thereof, (h) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.7 hereof, in connection with all actions, visits, audits and inspections undertaken by Administrative Agent or its Affiliates pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and/or (i) in connection with any modification, restatement, supplement, amendment, waiver or extension of any Transaction Document and/or any related agreement, document or instrument. All of the foregoing shall be charged to Borrower’s account and shall be part of the Obligations. If Administrative Agent, Lender or any of their Affiliates uses in-house counsel for any purpose for which Borrower is responsible to pay or indemnify, Borrower expressly agrees that their indemnification obligations include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by such Indemnified Person in its sole discretion for the work performed. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all Taxes (other than Taxes based upon or measured by Administrative Agent’s income or revenues or any personal property Tax), if any, in connection with the issuance of any Note and the filing and/or recording of any documents and/or financing statements.
12.8 Entire Agreement
This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Borrower is a party constitute the entire agreement between Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings (including the term sheets dated on or about June 17, 2025), if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing signed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders, as appropriate. Except as set forth in and subject to Section 10.4, no provision of any Transaction Document may be changed, modified, amended, restated, waived, supplemented, discharged, canceled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing or in any other manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties thereto and consented to by the Administrative Agent, provided, that no consent or agreement by Borrower shall be required to amend, modify, change, restate, waive, supplement, discharge, cancel or terminate any provision of Article XIII hereof so long as no additional duties are required to be assumed by Borrower. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof. The schedules attached hereto may be amended or supplemented by Borrower upon delivery to Administrative Agent of such amendments or supplements and, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the written approval thereof by Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Requisite Class A Lenders and the Requisite Class B Lenders). The preparation of this Agreement has been a joint effort of the parties hereto and their counsel. The resulting document shall not as matter of judicial construction be construed more severely against one of the parties or against any particular draftsman.
12.9 Approvals and Duties
Unless expressly provided herein to the contrary, any approval, consent, waiver or satisfaction of Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, with respect to any matter that is subject of any Transaction Document may be granted or withheld by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in its sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise required by law, Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to any of the Collateral or any matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights pertaining thereto.
12.10 Publicity
On or after the Closing Date, Administrative Agent, a Class B Lender or Borrower may, at its own expense issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements (collectively, “Trade Announcements”) relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of Administrative Agent, Class B Lender and/or Borrower). None of Administrative Agent, Class B Lender nor Borrower may submit any such Trade Announcement for publication without the prior written consent of each other applicable party (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and shall be deemed provided unless expressly withheld by such party, as applicable, within twenty (20) Business Days of request therefor). Borrower may, from time to time after consent from Administrative Agent and Class B Lenders, publish any such Trade Announcements in any media form desired by Borrower until such time that the Administrative Agent and/or a Class B Lender requests Borrower to cease any such further publication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower
may issue any disclosures required by Applicable Law, legal process or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission without the prior approval of Administrative Agent.
12.11 Release of Collateral
(a) So long as no Early Wind-Down Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon request of Borrower, Administrative Agent shall release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, subject to compliance with Sections 2.5 and 2.6 hereof, and this Section 12.11, as applicable. Borrower shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, immediately deposit all proceeds from any such sale or disposition into the Collateral Account. Upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale or disposition in accordance with this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver such documents, at Borrower’s expense, as are necessary to release Administrative Agent’s Liens on the applicable Collateral and shall return the applicable Collateral to Borrower; provided, however, that the parties agree that, notwithstanding any such termination or release or the execution, delivery or filing of any such documents or the return of any Collateral, if and to the extent that any such payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, defeased or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Administrative Agent and the Liens created hereby shall be revived automatically without any action on the part of any party hereto and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty with respect to any Collateral so delivered except that such Collateral is free and clear, on the date of such delivery, of any and all Liens arising from such Person’s own acts.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing Section 12.11(a) to the contrary, in order to give effect to a Permitted Disposition, the relevant Receivable(s) may be sold without the prior consent of Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders; provided that Borrower shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, immediately deposit all proceeds from such sale or disposition into the Collateral Account. Provided that no Early Wind-Down Trigger Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if such amounts described in the prior sentence are deposited in the Collateral Account, then, (i) Administrative Agent’s Lien on such Receivables that are subject to such Permitted Disposition shall be automatically released without any further action and (ii) Administrative Agent (at the written direction of Administrative Agent) shall execute such documents, releases and instruments of transfer or assignment, reasonably requested and prepared by Borrower and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by Borrower to effect the release of such Receivables removed pursuant to a Permitted Disposition, in each case at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. Borrower shall deliver, or cause the Servicer to deliver, a schedule of any Receivables released as provided in this Section 12.11(b) to Administrative Agent in connection with the Monthly Collateral and Servicing Report and shall update all other reports and schedules accordingly.
(c) Subject to Section 12.3, promptly following full performance and satisfaction and indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than indemnity
obligations of Borrower under the Transaction Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) and the termination of this Agreement, the Liens created hereby shall terminate and Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver such documents, at Borrower’s expense, as are necessary to release Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral and shall return the Collateral to Borrower; provided, however, that the parties agree that, notwithstanding any such termination or release or the execution, delivery or filing of any such documents or the return of any Collateral, if and to the extent that any such payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, defeased or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Administrative Agent and the Liens created hereby shall be revived automatically without any action on the part of any party hereto and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty with respect to any Collateral so delivered except that such Collateral is free and clear, on the date of such delivery, of any and all Liens arising from such Person’s own acts.
12.12 Times of Day
Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
12.13 Rounding
Any ratios required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).
12.14 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility
In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Transaction Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (B) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders and their Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, Administrative Agent or fiduciary for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except, in the case of a Lender, those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
12.15 Independent Effect of Covenants
Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VI or VII hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, Borrower shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles VI or VII, if, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VI or VII.
12.16 Right of Setoff.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is 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 and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all of the Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Transaction Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that, in the event that any Non-Funding Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Non-Funding Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and (ii) the Non-Funding Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Non-Funding Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application by such Lender; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
12.17 Confidentiality.
Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
12.18 Inconsistencies with Other Documents.
In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or gives Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.
XIII. AGENT PROVISIONS; SETTLEMENT
13.1 Administrative Agent.
(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Banc of California to act as administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Banc of California, as Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent agrees to act as such on the conditions contained in this Article XIII. The provisions of this Article XIII are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and Borrower shall have no rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Article XIII other than the second sentence of Section 13.1(h)(iii). Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Transaction Documents, by or through its agents, employees or sub-agents.
(b) Nature of Duties. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders, and its duties are administrative in nature, and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Lenders or Borrower. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties, obligations or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship (and no implied duties, including fiduciary duties, covenants or obligations will be read into this Agreement) in respect of any Lender or any other Person. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the extension of credit hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for information, notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder or given to Administrative Agent for the account of or with copies for Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter. If Administrative Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, then Administrative Agent shall send prior written notice thereof to each Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender in writing any time that the applicable percentage of Lenders have instructed Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
(c) Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Administrative Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys or agents shall be liable to any Lender or any other Person for any action lawfully taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Administrative Agent from being liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and nonappealable basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall be obligated on the terms set forth herein for performance of its express duties and obligations hereunder. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree promptly to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Administrative Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or any other Person herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, 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 Borrower. Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or the financial condition of Borrower or any other Person, or the existence or possible existence of any Early Wind-Down Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default. Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this
Agreement or of any of the other Transaction Documents Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Transaction Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the applicable percentage of Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the applicable percentage of Lenders and, notwithstanding the instructions of Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to take any action if it, in good faith, believes that such action exposes Administrative Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys or agents to any personal liability unless Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from Lenders with respect to such action.
(d) Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
(e) Indemnification. Each Lender, severally and not (i) jointly or (ii) jointly and severally, agrees to reimburse and indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent, and its respective officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection of the total outstanding Obligations (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loan shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share immediately prior to such date of the total outstanding Obligations), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, managers, members, equity owners, employees, attorneys or agents in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis. The obligations of Lenders under this Article XIII shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(f) Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the Loan held by it, if any, Banc of California and its successors as the Administrative Agent shall have, and may exercise, the same rights and powers under the Transaction Documents, and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities, as and to the extent set forth in the Transaction
Documents, as any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders”, “Requisite Class A Lenders” or “Requisite Class B Lenders” or any similar terms shall include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of lending, banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with, Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent pursuant hereto.
(g) Successor Administrative Agent.
(i) Resignation. Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all or part of its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrower and Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (ii) below or as otherwise provided below.
(ii) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation of Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (g)(i) of this Section 13.1, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent, with the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (or required if any Early Wind-Down Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default exists) and the consent of the Requisite Class B Lenders. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) calendar day period referenced in clause (g)(i) above, the retiring Administrative Agent (with respect to the role of retiring administrative agent) upon notice to Borrower, may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (or required if any Early Wind-Down Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default exists), who shall serve as Administrative Agent, until such time as the Requisite Lenders (with the consent of the Requisite Class B Lenders) appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing within said thirty (30) calendar day period, the resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders thereafter shall perform all the duties of Administrative Agent thereunder, until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders (with the consent of the Requisite Class B Lenders) appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
(iii) Successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and, upon the earlier of such acceptance or the effective date of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents, provided that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such retiring Administrative Agent shall continue after and survive such resignation and succession. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents.
(h) Collateral Matters.
(i) Collateral. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater number of Lenders, or, where permitted by the express terms of this Agreement, the Requisite Class A Lenders or Requisite Class B Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Transaction Documents relating to the Collateral, and the exercise by Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater number of Lenders, or, where permitted by the express terms of this Agreement, the Requisite Class A Lenders or Requisite Class B Lenders) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders and Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or any other Transaction Document), exercise all rights and remedies given to the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to the Collateral under the Transaction Documents related thereto, Applicable Law or otherwise.
(ii) Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent, for the benefit the of Lenders, upon any Collateral covered by the Transaction Documents (A) upon termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted); or (B) constituting Collateral being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).
(iii) Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Administrative Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Lenders (as set forth in Section 13.1(h)(i) and (ii)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Borrower, the authority to release any property covered by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents conferred upon Administrative Agent under Section 13.1(h)(ii). So long as no Early Wind-Down Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default exists, upon receipt by Administrative Agent of confirmation from the requisite percentage of Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral covered by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, herein or pursuant hereto upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (A) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute, any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty (other than that such Collateral is free and clear, on the date of such delivery, of any and
all Liens arising from such Person’s own acts), and (B) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral covered by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.
(iv) Absence of Duty. Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the Collateral covered by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, enforced or maintained or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Section 13.1(h) or in any of the Transaction Documents; it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral covered by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Administrative Agent’s own interest in Collateral covered by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents as one of Lenders and Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders; provided, that Administrative Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account.
(i) Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints Administrative Agent as agent for the purpose of perfecting such Lender’s security interest in Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall hold such Collateral for purposes of perfecting a security interest therein for the benefit of the Lenders, notify Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor, deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or otherwise act in respect thereof in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.
(j) Exercise of Remedies. Except as set forth in Section 13.4, each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to realize upon any Collateral security for the Loan or other Obligations; it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.
(k) Reserved.
13.2 Lender Consent
(a) In the event Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender and does not receive a written consent thereof within five (5) Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, then such Lender will be deemed not to have given such consent.
(b) In the event Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender in a situation where such Lender’s consent would be required and such consent is denied, then Administrative Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Loan and Revolving Commitments to Administrative Agent for a price equal to the then outstanding principal amount thereof due such Lender plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which principal, interest and fees will be paid to the Lender when collected from Borrower. In the event that Administrative Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.2 Administrative Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty-five (45) days following such Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Administrative Agent no later than five (5) calendar days following receipt of such notice.
13.3 Set-off and Sharing of Payments
In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and without notice to Borrower or any other Person other than Administrative Agent (such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (a) balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower ), and (b) other Collateral at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower, against and on account of any of the Obligations which are not paid when due; provided, that no Lender or any such holder shall exercise any such right without prior written notice to Administrative Agent. Any Lender that has exercised its right to set-off or otherwise has received any payment on account of the Obligations shall, to the extent the amount of any such set off or payment exceeds its Pro Rata Share of payments obtained by all of the Lenders on account of such Obligations, purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders of the Loan shall sell) participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess with each other Lenders or holders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (y) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set-off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such excess to other Lenders and holders, and (z) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loan made or other Obligations held by other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loan and other Obligations in the amount of such participation.
13.4 Disbursement of Funds
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to Borrower for any funding of Revolving Advances. Each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for its Pro Rata Share of all funds disbursed on its behalf by Administrative Agent, or if Administrative Agent so requests, each Lender shall remit to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata
Share of any funding of Revolving Advances before Administrative Agent disburses such Revolving Advances to or on account of Borrower. If Administrative Agent so elects to require that funds be made available prior to disbursement to Borrower, Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, telex or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Advance no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the funding date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Advance, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Administrative Agent’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time). If Administrative Agent shall have disbursed funds to Borrower on behalf of any Lender and such Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall as promptly as reasonably possible, but in no event less than two (2) Business Days after such notice, repay such amount to Administrative Agent. Any repayment by Borrower required pursuant to this Section 13.4 shall be without any premium or penalty. Nothing in this Section 13.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including the provisions of Section 13.5, shall be deemed to require Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
13.5 Settlements; Payments; and Information
(a) Funding of Advances; Payments; Interest and Fee Payments.
(i) The Loan Balance may fluctuate from day to day through Administrative Agent’s disbursement of funds to or on account of, and receipt of funds from, Borrower. In order to minimize the frequency of transfers of funds between Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding terms to the contrary set forth in Section 13.4, Advances and repayments thereof may be settled according to the procedures described in Sections 13.5(a)(ii) and 13.5(a)(iii). Notwithstanding these procedures, each Lender’s obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advances made by Administrative Agent to or on account of Borrower will commence on the date such Advances are made by Administrative Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate a Lender to make an Advance at any time any Early Wind-Down Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default exists. All such payments will be made by such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) Administrative Agent shall, whenever it deems necessary (in its sole discretion) (each such day being a “Settlement Date”), advise each Lender by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day by email of the amount of each such Lender’s Revolving Advance. In the event payments are necessary to adjust the amount of such Lender’s share of the Revolving Advances to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Advances, the party from which such payment is due will pay the other party, in same day funds, by wire transfer to the other’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Settlement Date.
(iii) On the twentieth (20th) Business Day of each month (“Interest Settlement Date”), Administrative Agent will advise each Lender by email of the amount of interest and fees charged to and collected from Borrower for the preceding month in respect of the Loan. Provided that such Lender has made all payments required to be made by it under this Agreement and provided that Lender has not received its Pro Rata Share of interest and fees directly from Borrower, Administrative Agent will pay to such Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender from time to time pursuant to the notice provisions contained herein or in the applicable Lender Addition Agreement) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day following the Interest Settlement Date, such Lender’s share of such interest and fees.
(b) Availability of Lenders’ Pro Rata Share.
(i) Unless Administrative Agent has been notified by a Lender prior to any proposed funding date of such Lender’s intention not to fund its requested Revolving Advance, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to Administrative Agent on the proposed funding date or the Business Day following the next Settlement Date, as applicable; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate a Lender to make a Revolving Advance at any time any Early Wind-Down Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default exists. If such amount is not, in fact, made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) Nothing contained in this Section 13.5(b) will be deemed to relieve a Lender of its obligation to fulfill its commitments or to prejudice any rights Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against such Lender as a result of any default by such Lender under this Agreement.
(c) Return of Payments.
(i) If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
13.6 Dissemination of Information
Upon request by a Lender, Administrative Agent will distribute promptly to such Lender, unless previously provided by Borrower to such Lender, copies of all notices, schedules, reports, projections, financial statements, agreements and other material and information, including financial and reporting information received from Borrower or generated by a third party as provided for in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as received by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any of the Lenders for any failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 13.6, except to the extent that such failure is attributed to Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and results in demonstrable damages to such Lender as determined, in each case, by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis.
13.7 Non-Funding Lender.
The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Advance that it has agreed to make (the “Non-Funding Lender”) on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its agreed upon obligations to make such Revolving Advance, but neither any Other Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Revolving Advance or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Transaction Document or constitute a “Lender” for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Transaction Document. At Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent or a Person acceptable to Administrative Agent shall have the right with Administrative Agent’s consent and in
Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the rights of that Non-Funding Lender to make Advances hereunder for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Advances held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Lender Addition Agreement.
13.8 Taxes
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligations of Borrower to each Lender or Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (including penalties, interest and additions to tax), imposed by any Governmental Authority (“Taxes”), except as required by Applicable Law.
(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c) Subject to Section 13.8(g), Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and Administrative Agent for the full amount of any and all Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 13.8) paid or payable by such Lender or Administrative Agent and any liability (other than any penalties, interest, additions, and expenses that accrue after the 180th day after the receipt by Administrative Agent or such Lender of written notice of the assertion of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and before the date that Administrative Agent or such Lender provides Borrower with a certificate relating thereto pursuant to Section 13.8(l)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payments under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date any Lender or Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.
(d) If Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or Administrative Agent, then, subject to Section 13.8(g):
(i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.8), such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made;
(ii) Borrower shall make such deductions; and
(iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(e) Within ten (10) days after the date of any payment by Borrower of Taxes to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent (and the applicable Lender) a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Administrative Agent (and the applicable Lender).
(f) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (or, in the case of an assignment that is not disclosed to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2, solely to the assigning Lender and Administrative Agent and not to Borrower) two (2) copies of each applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W‑8BEN‑E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof, successors thereto or such other forms or documents as may be reasonably required under Applicable Law, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from United States federal withholding Tax on all payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. In addition to properly completing and duly executing Forms W-8BEN or W‑8BEN‑E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successor thereto), if such Non-U.S. Lender is claiming an exemption from withholding of United States federal income Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Lender hereby represents and warrants that (A) it is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c) of the Code, (B) it is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, (C) it has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any Tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental securities law or other legal requirements, (D) it is not a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, (E) it is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (F) none of the interest arising from this Agreement constitutes contingent interest within the meaning of Section 871(h)(4) or Section 881(c)(4) of the Code and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall provide Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall provide to Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment that is not disclosed to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2, solely to the assigning Lender and Administrative Agent and not to Borrower), with prompt notice at any time after becoming a Lender hereunder that it can no longer make the foregoing representations and warranties. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment that is not disclosed to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2, solely to the assigning Lender and Administrative Agent and not to Borrower) at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certificate (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. Each Lender who makes an assignment pursuant to Section 12.2 where the assignment and assumption agreement is not delivered to Borrower shall indemnify and agree to hold Administrative Agent, Borrower and the other Lenders harmless from and against any United States federal withholding Tax, interest and penalties that would not have been imposed but for (i)
the failure of the Transferee that received such assignment under Section 12.2 to comply with this Section 13.8(f) or (ii) the failure of such Lender to withhold and pay such Tax at the proper rate in the event such Transferee does not comply with this Section 13.8(f) (or complies with Section 13.8(f) but delivers forms indicating it is entitled to a reduced rate of such Tax). Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (i) a properly prepared and duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive any and all payments under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document free and clear from withholding of United States federal backup withholding Taxes or (ii) such other reasonable documentation as will enable Borrower and/or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to United States federal backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 12.2 shall, on or before the date of the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements required pursuant to this Section 13.8(f), and shall make the representations and warranties set forth in clauses (A) – (F) above, provided that the obligations of such Participant, pursuant to this Section 13.8(f) shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.
(g) Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States federal income Tax pursuant to Section 13.8(d) to any Lender or Administrative Agent or to indemnify any Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.8(c) to the extent that the Internal Revenue Service has determined (which determination shall be final and non-appealable) that such Lender or Administrative Agent is treated as a “conduit entity” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.881‑3 or any successor provision; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section shall preclude the payment of additional amounts or indemnity payments by Borrower to the person for whom the “conduit entity” is acting.
(h) If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.8, then such Lender or Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by Borrower so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payments by Borrower which may accrue in the future if such filing or changes in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Administrative Agent, would not require such Lender to disclose information such Lender deems confidential and is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Administrative Agent.
(i) If Administrative Agent or a Lender, in its reasonable judgment, receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.8, it shall promptly pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 13.8 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund) and any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender
in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay the applicable refund to such Governmental Authority.
(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Administrative Agent is required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any Lender by Borrower or Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any gross-up payment to or in respect of such Lender, except to the extent that a corresponding gross-up payment is actually received by Administrative Agent from Borrower.
(k) Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Section 13.8 shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
(l) The agreements and obligations of Borrower in this Section 13.8 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.
13.9 Patriot Act
Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Administrative Agent and each Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. Borrower shall, promptly following a request by Administrative Agent, or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” an anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.
