Upon receipt by the Administrative Borrower of an Illegality Notice, the Co-Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Advances bearing interest at Adjusted Term SOFR to Advances bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Spread, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Advances bearing interest at Adjusted Term SOFR to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Advances bearing interest at Adjusted Term SOFR to such day.

USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -55- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Loan Parties shall remain liable under the Collateral Portfolio and the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral or the Pledged Equity does not release the Loan Parties or Holdings from any of their duties or obligations under the Collateral or with respect to the Pledged Equity and (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral Portfolio and the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Loan Parties thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. (e) [Reserved]. (f) Each Co‐Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of such Co‐Borrower’s right and title to, and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) each Equity Investment Agreement related to each Portfolio Asset, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Portfolio Asset and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing. Each Co‐ Borrower confirms that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and until the Facility Termination Date, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Servicer) on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the right to enforce and/or assume such Co‐Borrower’s rights and remedies under each Equity Investment Agreement. (g) In addition to the property which the Administrative Agent holds for the benefit of the Secured Parties under Section 2.10(a), Section 2.10(b) and Section 2.10(f), the Administrative Agent will, upon entry into the Australian Pledge Agreement, hold the rights arising under the Australian Pledge Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties. (h) To the extent the law permits: (i) for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the Australian PPSA: (A) the Secured Parties need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4) of the Australian PPSA; and (B) sections 142 and 143 of the Australian PPSA are excluded; (ii) for the purposes of section 115(7) of the Australian PPSA, the Secured Parties need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3) of the Australian PPSA; (iii) if the PPSA is amended after the date of this document to permit the Parties to agree to not comply with or to exclude other provisions of the PPSA, the Administrative Agent may notify the Loan Parties that any of these provisions is excluded, or that the Secured Parties need not comply with any of these provisions, as notified to the Loan Parties by the Administrative Agent; and USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -56- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
(iv) each Loan Party agrees not to exercise its rights to make any request of the Secured Parties under section 275 of the Australian PPSA, to authorize the disclosure of any information under that section or to waive any duty of confidence that would otherwise permit non‐disclosure under that section. (i) To the extent the law permits, each Loan Party waives: (i) its rights to receive any notice that is required by any provision of the Australian PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement); and (ii) any time period that must otherwise lapse under the Australian PPSA before a Secured Party or receiver exercises a right, power or remedy. If the law which requires a period of notice or a lapse of time cannot be excluded, but the law provides that the period of notice or lapse of time may be agreed, that period or lapse is one day or the minimum period the law allows to be agreed (whichever is the longer). However, nothing in this clause prohibits a Secured Party or any receiver from giving a notice under the Australian PPSA or any other law. (j) For the purposes of section 153 of the Australian PPSA, each Secured Party appoints the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party as its nominee, and authorizes each of them to act on its behalf, in connection with a registration under the Australian PPSA of any security interest in favor of the Loan Party which is (a) evidenced or created by chattel paper or arising under contract; (b) perfected by registration under the Australian PPSA; and (c) transferred to a Secured Party under this document.

(iii) subject any LenderRecipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Advances, Commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iv) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Co -Borrowers will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or 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 affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, 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, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Co -Borrowers 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 in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 2.12(a) or (b) and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount shall beand delivered to the Administrative Borrower and, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Co -Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date that is not less than ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Any such amount payable by the Co‐Borrowers shall not be duplicative of any amounts (i) previously paid under this Section 2.12 or (ii) included in the calculation of LIBORAdjusted Term SOFR. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Co‐Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -59- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine‐ month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). (e) If any Lender requests additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Co‐ Borrowers shall have the option to terminate this Agreement and the Commitments hereunder by written notice to the Administrative Agent and prepay the Advances, any accrued interest thereon and all costs, accrued and unpaid Non‐Usage Fees and all other fees and amounts payable by the Co‐ Borrowers under the Transaction Documents (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any penalty, premium, make‐whole or similar payment due to the termination of the Agreement and Commitments) no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day next following the giving of such notice. SECTION 2.13 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties or Holdings under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Loan Parties or Holdings) will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Indemnified Taxes are required by Applicable Law (as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent) to be withheld from any such payments, then the amount payable by the Loan Parties or Holdings will be increased (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the applicable Recipient receives an amount that is not less than the amount that it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Any amounts deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) will be timely paid by the applicable withholding agent to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. The Loan Parties, Holdings and the Administrative Agent may be a withholding agent. (b) The Loan Parties and Holdings will indemnify each Recipient for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Person in respect of, or required to be deducted or withheld from, payments made by or on behalf of the Loan Parties or Holdings hereunder, including Indemnified Taxes imposed or assessed on or attributable to Additional Amounts and other amounts payable under this Section 2.13 and any costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Administrative Borrower, with a copy to the Servicer. (c) Each Lender will indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties or Holdings have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting or expanding any obligation of the applicable Loan Party or Holdings to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -60- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
2.03 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Following any payment by any Loan Party or Holdings to the applicable Governmental Authority of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.13 and Section 11.07(b), Administrative Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment (to the extent received by the Servicer or the Administrative Borrower, as applicable), a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders). For the avoidance of doubt, in no case or circumstance is the Administrative Agent liable to pay any Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, and if it pays any such amounts, it will solely be on behalf of the Co‐ Borrowers, from the Collection Account to the extent amounts are available therein. (e) Each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non‐U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of whichever (if any) of the following is applicable for claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payment by or on behalf of the Co‐Borrowers under this Agreement: (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E (claiming the benefits of an applicable tax treaty), W‐8IMY, W‐8EXP or W‐8ECI or (ii) in the case of a Non‐U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code (a “Tax Compliance Certificate”) and a Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E, in each case (A) with any required attachments (including, with respect to any Lender that provides a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8IMY, any of the forms or other documentation described in clauses (i) and (ii) above for any of the direct or indirect owners of such Lender) and (B) any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto. In addition, each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a Non‐U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W‐9, properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption, or shall otherwise establish an exemption, from U.S. backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or about the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -61- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
deliver. For the purposes of this Section 2.13(e), “Lender” shall include any other recipients of payments on the Collateral as directed by any Lender to the Administrative Agent. (f) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Co‐Borrowers are located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate (or otherwise permit the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the applicable rate of withholding); provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.13(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (g) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it was indemnified by the Co‐Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to this Section 2.13 or with respect to which the Co‐Borrowers or the Administrative Agent has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay to the Co‐Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or Additional Amounts paid, by the Co‐Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund), net of all costs and expenses (including additional Taxes, if any) of such Lender, as the case may be, incurred in obtaining such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Co‐Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(g), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Co‐Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after‐Tax position than the Lender would USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -62- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Co‐Borrowers or any other Person. (h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the parties contained in this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by or replacement of any Lender, the termination of Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document or termination of this Agreement. SECTION 2.14 Increase in Maximum Facility Amount. (a) Prior to September 22, 2022, and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.14, the Administrative Borrower may no more than two (2) times, upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Initial Lender (“Facility Increase Notice”), increase the Maximum Facility Amount to up to $350,000,000. Any such increase shall be in the amount of up to $25,000,000 (each such increase, a “Facility Increase”). Any Facility Increase may be provided by any Lender or any Eligible Assignee (each such Lender, an “Incremental Lender”); provided that each Incremental Lender which was not a Lender immediately prior to the consummation of such Facility Increase shall be subject to the consent (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of the Administrative Agent and the Initial Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14 and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender. (b) The following are conditions precedent to such increase: (i) each Co‐Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent and the Initial Lender, if necessary, resolutions adopted by such Co‐Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, certified by a Responsible Person of such Co‐Borrower that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect; (ii) if applicable, each Co‐Borrower shall execute replacement notes payable to the Initial Lender reflecting the Facility Increase; (iii) as of the effective date of such Facility Increase and immediately after giving effect thereto, the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date); provided that if a representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation or warranty, the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be disregarded for the purposes of this condition; USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -63- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
(iv) all expenses and fees (including reasonable and documented legal fees and any fees required under the Fee Letters) that are required to be paid hereunder or by the Fee Letters that are due and payable have been paid in full; (v) one or more favorable opinions of counsel to the Co‐Borrowers and Holdings, reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders and the Administrative Agent and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and (vi) no Market Trigger Event or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which the Facility Increase Notice is delivered or immediately after giving effect to the Facility Increase. For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Commitments as of the Closing Date. SECTION 2.15 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Different Applicable Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Co‐Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 then such Lender shall, at the request of the Administrative Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different applicable lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) Waivers and Amendments.

(iv) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Co‐Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

The Co‐Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.16(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Co‐ Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -66- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in accordance with Section 6.01, and without limiting the remedies provided in this Article VI, the Administrative Agent may, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or the Pledged Equity at public or private sales and take possession of the Proceeds of any such sale or disposition or (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any account, agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting Collateral or Pledged Equity to make any payment required by the terms of such account, agreement, instrument or other obligation to or at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Servicer, may (a) give a Notice of Exclusive Control or any other instruction in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and take any permitted action with respect to the Collateral subject thereto, (b) in accordance with Section 6.02, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, including exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity as though the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner thereof and (c) in accordance with Section 6.02, collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made on any Pledged Equity. (b) Any Collateral or Pledged Equity to be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Article VI may be sold or disposed of in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice upon such terms and conditions, including price, as the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may deem commercially reasonable), for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any sale or disposition of Collateral or Pledged Equity may be made without the Administrative Agent giving warranties of any kind with respect to such sale or disposition and the Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. The Administrative Agent may comply with any applicable State or federal law requirements in connection with a sale or disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale or disposition. If any notice of a proposed sale or disposition of the Collateral or Pledged Equity is required by law, such notice is deemed commercially reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or disposition. The Administrative Agent has the right upon any public sale of Collateral or Pledged Equity and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale of Collateral or Pledged Equity, to purchase the whole or any part of the USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -100- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
Collateral or Pledged Equity so sold or disposed of free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Co‐Borrowers hereby waive. Upon any sale or disposition of Collateral or Pledged Equity, the Administrative Agent has the right to deliver and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral or Pledged Equity so sold or disposed of. (c) For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement (including this Article VI) shall be subject to the special servicing activities provisions in Section 8.05. (d) Following an acceleration of the Obligations upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in accordance with Section 6.01, the Co‐Borrowers will use best efforts to execute all documentation and obtain all consents reasonably necessary to assign to the Servicer all of the Co‐Borrowers’ right, title and interest to each Eligible Portfolio Asset. ARTICLE VII. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SECTION 7.01 Appointment and Authority; Rights as Lender. (a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Alter Domus (US) LLC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, and neither the Co‐ Borrowers nor Holdings shall have rights as a third‐party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. (b) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (to the extent it is also a Lender) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its capacity as Lender, if applicable. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Co‐Borrowers, Holdings or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. SECTION 7.02 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, and its duties hereunder shall USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -101- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default, Market Trigger Event or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Servicer or the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in such other Transaction Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) (including errors in judgement made) with the consent or at the request or direction of the Servicer or the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment; provided that, no action taken or not taken with the consent or at the request or direction of the Servicer or the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default, Event of Default, Market Trigger Event, Potential Default or event or information, or be required to act upon any default, Event of Default, Market Trigger Event, Potential Default, or event or information (including the sending of any notice) unless a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of such default (which written notice shall be conspicuously labelled as a “Event of Default”, “Market Trigger Event”, or “Potential Default”), Event of Default, Market Trigger Event, Potential Default, or event or information, and shall have no duty to take any action to determine whether any such event, default, Market Trigger Event, Potential Default, or Event of Default has occurred. The Administrative Agent’s receipt of reports (including monthly distribution reports) and any publicly available information, shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -102- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
determinable from information contained therein. All reports, notices and documents delivered to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be delivered promptly or otherwise made available by the Administrative Agent to each Lender. (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents or accuracy of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith and shall not be required to recalculate, certify or verify any information therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default, Market Trigger Event or Potential Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. (d) In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages), including lost profits, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action. (e) Before the Administrative Agent acts or refrains from taking any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, it may require an officer’s certificate or an opinion of counsel (which may come from internal counsel) from the party requesting that the Administrative Agent act or refrain from acting in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such officer’s certificates or opinions of counsel. (f) The Administrative Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties, or the exercise of any of its rights or powers. (g) The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability if, by reason of any provision of any future law or regulation thereunder, or by any force majeure event, including but not limited to natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control, the Administrative Agent shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. (h) The right of the Administrative Agent to perform any permissive or discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or any related document shall not be construed as a duty. (i) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation or warranty as to, the validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency or adequacy of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any related document, or as to the USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -103- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
correctness of any statement contained in any thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the other Transaction Documents shall be construed as the statements of the Co‐Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for the Co‐ Borrower’s use of the Advances or any money paid to the Co‐Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Co‐Borrowers in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document. (j) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action or inaction of the Co‐ Borrowers, Holdings, the Servicer, the Lenders or any other party (or agent thereof) to this Agreement or any related document and may assume compliance by such parties with their obligations under this Agreement or any related agreements, unless a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 11.02. (k) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party on the date hereof on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under pursuant to, the Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Agreement (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements). (l) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, before taking or omitting any action to be taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent may seek the written direction of the Servicer or the Majority Lenders (which written direction may be in the form of an email), and the Administrative Agent is entitled to rely (and is fully protected in so relying) upon such direction. In the absence of an express statement in the Transaction Documents regarding which Lenders shall direct in any circumstance, the direction of the Majority Lenders shall apply and be sufficient for all purposes. SECTION 7.03 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, opinion, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties or Holdings), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 7.04 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more agents, sub‐agents or attorneys appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such agents, sub‐agent or attorneys may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such party and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such party. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, sub‐agents or attorney appointed by it with reasonable care, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non‐appealable judgement that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such appointees. SECTION 7.05 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor (with the consent of the Administrative Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent no Event of Default is continuing. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Defaulting Lender shall be appointed as a successor to the Administrative Agent. (b) The Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by thirty (30) days prior notice in writing to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, remove such Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Administrative Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and (ii) except for any fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -105- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.13(h) and other than any rights to fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Co‐ Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Co‐Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Sections 2.05(d), 10.01 and 11.07 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub‐agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to any fees accrued and payable up to the Resignation Effective Date or Removal Effective Date to the extent not previously paid. (d) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Administrative Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Administrative Borrower, appoint a successor in accordance with this Section 7.05. SECTION 7.06 Non‐Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (or any sub‐agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (to the extent not indefeasibly indemnified by or on behalf of the Co‐Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Co‐Borrowers to do so) with respect to any unpaid amount required under Article X or Section 11.07 to be paid by it, based on and to the extent of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of such unpaid amount (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share at such time), including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any sub‐agent thereof) or USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -106- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any sub‐agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders to make payments pursuant to this Section 7.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its payment under this Section 7.07. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent or the termination of this Agreement. SECTION 7.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Co‐Borrowers or Holdings, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Co‐Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, at the direction of the Majority Lenders: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.07. SECTION 7.09 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document including, without limitation, the Collateral and Pledged Equity or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this Section 7.09, the Administrative Agent will, at the Co‐Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the Servicer such documents as the Servicer may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral and Pledged USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -107- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
Equity from the assignment and security interest granted under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and this Section 7.09, without any recourse, representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain the validity of or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents, the existence, priority, creation, validity, enforceability or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Loan Parties, Holdings or the Servicer in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or the Lien thereon. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of any Collateral in its possession, under the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for the account of other customers in similar transactions. (c) It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent (i) shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of whether any Pledged Equity is certificated or uncertificated and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall only be responsible for holding Pledged Equity to the extent actually received. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of any Collateral in its possession, under the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for the account of other customers in similar transactions. SECTION 7.10 Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or inequity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a)(i) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within 18 months of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Lender), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set‐off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -108- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case, if an error has been made each such Lender is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set‐off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (c) The Co‐Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 7.10), the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Co‐Borrowers or any other Loan Party. (d) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 7.10 and which has not been returned to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Lender after any such setoff and application USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -109- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
made by Administrative Agent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. (e) Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document. ARTICLE VIII. ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF COLLATERAL SECTION 8.01 Appointment and Designation of the Servicer. (a) Initial Servicer. The Co‐Borrowers and the Lenders hereby appoint Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as Servicer, with the authority to service, administer and exercise rights and remedies, on behalf of the Co‐ Borrowers, in respect of the Collateral and to take the actions required of it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof until such time as it resigns or is removed as Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Servicer and the Co‐Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the Servicer hereunder. (b) Servicer Termination Notice. The Co‐Borrowers, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Servicer (a “Servicer Termination Notice”), may (upon the direction of the Majority Lenders) terminate all of the rights, obligations, power and authority of the Servicer under this Agreement. On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to this Section 8.01(b), the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of such notice or until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Majority Lenders. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.08, the Servicing Fees accrued until such termination date as well as any other fees, amounts, expenses or indemnities it is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and any Fee Letter (collectively, the “Servicer Termination Expenses”). To the extent amounts held in the Collection Account and the Interest Reserve Account and paid in accordance with Section 2.09 are insufficient to pay the Servicer Termination Expenses, the Co‐Borrowers (and to the extent the Co‐Borrowers fail to so pay, the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share) agrees to pay the Servicer Termination Expenses within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor. After the earlier of (i) the termination date specified in the applicable Servicer Termination Notice and (ii) thirty (30) days thereafter as provided above, the Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Majority Lenders believe will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to a Replacement Servicer, and the Replacement Servicer shall assume each and all of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, on the terms and subject USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -110- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
to the conditions herein set forth, and the Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Replacement Servicer in assuming such obligations. (c) Appointment of Replacement Servicer. At any time following the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice or receipt of any notice of resignation under Section 8.09, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may, with the consent of the Administrative Borrower (such consent not being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a new Servicer (the “Replacement Servicer”), which appointment shall take effect upon the Replacement Servicer accepting such appointment by a written assumption in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders. Any Replacement Servicer shall be an established financial institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of assets similar to the Collateral. (d) Liabilities and Obligations of Replacement Servicer. Upon its appointment, any Replacement Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Servicer; provided that any Replacement Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the prior Servicer prior to the date that the Replacement Servicer becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the prior Servicer, (ii) no obligation with respect to any Taxes on behalf of the Loan Parties, except for any payment made out of the Collection Account as provided in Section 2.13, (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Replacement Servicer, upon becoming a Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, or the failure to perform materially in accordance with its duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the Replacement Servicer shall have no liability relating to the representations of the prior Servicer contained in Section 4.03. (e) Authority and Power. All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate on the Facility Termination Date and shall pass to and be vested in the Loan Parties or their designee thereafter and, without limitation, the Loan Parties are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney‐in‐ fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Loan Parties in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Collateral. (f) Subcontracts. The Servicer may, with the prior written consent (except that no such consent shall be required (i) with respect to ministerial duties or (ii) to the extent necessary for Servicer to comply with any Applicable Laws, regulations, codes or ordinances relating to Servicer’s servicing obligations) of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -111- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
Majority Lenders) and the Administrative Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), subcontract with any other Person for servicing, administering or collecting the Collateral; provided that (A) the Servicer shall select any such Person with reasonable care and shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses payable to any such Person, (B) the Servicer shall not be relieved of, and shall remain liable for, the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof without regard to any subcontracting arrangement and (C) any such subcontract shall be terminable upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event. (g) Waiver. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates may, but shall not be obligated to, act as the Servicer, and the Co‐Borrowers waive any and all claims against the Administrative Agent, each Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and the Servicer (other than claims relating to such party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non‐appealable judgement by a court of competent jurisdiction) relating in any way to the custodial or collateral administration functions having been performed by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms and provisions (including the standard of care) set forth in the Transaction Documents. SECTION 8.02 Duties of the Servicer. (a) Duties. The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, monitor and administer the Collections and to perform its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, all in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Applicable Law and the Servicing Standard. Without limiting the foregoing, the duties of the Servicer shall include the following: (i) maintaining all necessary servicing records with respect to the Collateral received from the Loan Parties, or following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and providing such records to each Lender together with such other information with respect to the Collateral (including information relating to the Servicer’s performance under this Agreement) as may be required hereunder or as the Majority Lenders may reasonably request; (ii) maintaining and implementing administrative and operating procedures (including an ability to create servicing records received evidencing the Collateral) and keeping and maintaining all documents, books, records and other information or pursuant to this Agreement reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of the Collateral; (iii) promptly delivering to the Lenders, from time to time, such information and servicing records (to the extent received by the Servicer, including information relating to the Servicer’s performance under this Agreement), as any Lender may from time to time reasonably request; (iv) identifying each Portfolio Asset clearly and unambiguously in its records to reflect that such Portfolio Asset has been Transferred and is owned by a Loan Party; USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -112- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
(v) notifying the Lenders of any material action, suit, proceeding, dispute, offset, deduction, defense or counterclaim that is or is threatened to be asserted by an Obligor with respect to any Portfolio Asset (or portion thereof) of which it has knowledge or has received notice; (vi) maintaining the perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral to the extent required by the Transaction Documents; (vii) pursuant to the terms hereof, directing the Administrative Agent to direct the Account Bank to make payments in accordance with Section 2.09; (viii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if directed by the Majority Lenders, instructing the Obligors, on the Portfolio Assets to make payments with respect to the related Portfolio Asset directly into the Collection Account and otherwise directing or depositing Collections into the Collection Account; (ix) recording in the records for the Collateral any Tax and insurance escrows and payments and Distributions with respect to the Portfolio Asset to the extent such information is received by the Servicer; (x) all payments made with respect to the Portfolio Assets; and (xi) following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, identifying Collections as Excluded Amounts and preparing statements with respect to Collections and segregating Collections, all as required by this Agreement. (b) It is acknowledged and agreed that the Loan Parties possess only such rights with respect to the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to the Portfolio Assets and under the Equity Investment Agreements as have been transferred to the applicable Loan Party with respect to the related Portfolio Asset, and therefore in all circumstances, the Loan Parties shall perform their duties hereunder only to the extent that they have the right to do so. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer or the Loan Parties from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral. The Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Loan Parties hereunder. (d) [Reserved.] (e) The Servicer is not required to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Servicer to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or Applicable Law. The Servicer shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under this Agreement or any other USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -113- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
Transaction Document with the consent or at the request of the Co‐Borrowers or the Majority Lenders (or all Lenders, as applicable and as set forth in Sections 6.01 and 11.01). In the event the Servicer requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Servicer does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. For all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Loan Parties and the Lenders, as the case may be, shall direct the Servicer and the Account Bank, as applicable, what lender consent is required for a particular amendment, waiver or consent. (f) The Servicer shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Co‐Borrowers or the Servicer), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (ii) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the performance or observance by any party (other than the Servicer) of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Servicer (if any) and (iii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents for relying on any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. SECTION 8.03 Authorization of the Servicer. (a) The Loan Parties hereby authorize the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Loan Parties and not inconsistent with the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to collect all amounts due under the Collateral, in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof, including, to the extent the Servicer is permitted to do so, endorsing its name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Portfolio Asset, and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof. The Loan Parties shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents, in each case effective only after the occurrence and USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -114- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
during the continuance of an Event of Default, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to facilitate the collectability of the Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Servicer a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) consent. In the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall not be obligated to take, or to refrain from taking, any action which any Lender requests that the Servicer take or refrain from taking to the extent that the Servicer determines in its reasonable and good faith judgment that such action or inaction (i) may cause a violation of Applicable Laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, court orders or restrictive covenants with respect to any Portfolio Asset, the Loan Parties or any Obligor, (ii) may cause a violation of any provision of this Agreement, a Fee Letter or a Required Portfolio Document or any other Transaction Document or (iii) may be a violation of the Servicing Standard. (b) After the declaration of the Maturity Date and to the extent any Obligations remain unpaid, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, the Servicer shall take such action as the Majority Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Portfolio Assets; provided that the Servicer may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify the Obligor, with respect to any Portfolio Asset of the assignment of such Portfolio Asset to the Servicer and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, upon such notification, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the expense of the Co‐Borrowers, the Servicer (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may enforce collection of any such Portfolio Asset, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. SECTION 8.04 Collection of Payments; Accounts. (a) Without limiting Section 8.02, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Servicer will monitor all Collections deposited to the Collection Account and will monitor the administration of the Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement. (b) Collection Account and Interest Reserve Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) each of the Collection Account and the Interest Reserve Account is intended to be a “deposit account” or “securities account” within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Servicer, shall be entitled to exercise the rights with respect to the Collection Account and the Interest Reserve Account and have the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Collection Account and the Interest Reserve Account in accordance with Section 2.09. Each Co‐Borrower hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Account Bank to agree with the parties hereto that regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, with respect to the Collection USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -115- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
Account and the Interest Reserve Account, New York shall be deemed to be the Account Bank’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9‐304 of the UCC). If at any time a Responsible Person of a Loan Party obtains knowledge that the Collection Account and the Interest Reserve Account ceases to be maintained by a Qualified Institution (with written notice from the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), then each Loan Party shall transfer such account to another Qualified Institution; provided that notice of such transfer to another Qualified Institution shall be given by the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least ninety (90) days prior to the transfer to such Qualified Institution. (c) Adjustments. If a Loan Party makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection and such Collection was received in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason then the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check shall be adjusted. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid. SECTION 8.05 Realization Upon Portfolio Assets. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Servicer shall only exercise rights to realize upon Portfolio Assets upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Servicer will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Equity Investment Agreement to exercise available remedies (which may include foreclosing upon or repossessing, as applicable, or otherwise comparably converting the ownership of any Portfolio Asset) relating to a defaulted Portfolio Asset as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for the collection of delinquent payments, and may, consistent with the Servicing Standard and exercising its reasonably good faith judgment to maximize value, hold for value, sell or transfer any equity or other securities shall have received in connection with a default, workout, restructuring or plan of reorganization with respect to such Portfolio Asset. The Servicer will comply with the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Portfolio Asset, and employ practices and procedures including commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce all obligations of Obligors by foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Portfolio Asset at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Majority Lenders have specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer may cause the sale of any such Portfolio Asset to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Person of the Servicer delivered to the Lenders setting forth the Portfolio Asset, the Portfolio Asset, the sale price of the Portfolio Asset and certifying that such sale price is the fair value of such Portfolio Asset. In any case in which any such Portfolio Asset has suffered damage, the Servicer will have no obligation to expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such Portfolio Asset. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Portfolio Asset relating to a defaulted Portfolio Asset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer shall not take any action with respect to the Portfolio Assets, nor shall it be required to take any actions, relating to any special servicing activities (it being understood and agreed that the Servicer shall determine whether any obligations or actions of the Servicer USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -116- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Co‐Borrowers, Holdings or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Servicer hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The obligations of Holdings, on the one hand, and the Co‐Borrowers, on the other, to make payments pursuant to this Section 10.01 are several and not joint. (b) Other than as expressly set forth in Section 10.01(a), any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be paid by Holdings or the Co‐Borrowers to the applicable Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Co‐Borrowers of such Indemnified Party’s written demand therefor.

In addition to the delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the processing and recordation fee, to the extent the assignee is not then currently a Lender hereunder, the assignee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all documentation and other information reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be required by applicable regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and Anti‐Money Laundering Law. Upon delivery of the duly‐executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement, processing fee and any “know your customer” information requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement. USActive 58800445.158806140.10 -123- SK 28388 0001 10656366 v3
(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Co‐Borrowers or without the consent of, but with notice to, the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Co‐Borrowers or any of the Co‐Borrowers’ respective Affiliates (each, a “Participant”)) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Co‐ Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) such Lender shall register such participation in its Participant Register pursuant to Section 2.03(c). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 11.01(b) that affects such Participant. The Co‐Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(e) and (f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(e) and (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; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.15(a) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 or 2.13, 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.
