2.1 The Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally hereby agrees to make a Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount not to exceed the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitments. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay each Lender, ratably, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans advanced by such Lender, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges thereon and to pay all other Obligations as and when due in accordance with this Agreement. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans at any time exceeds the Total Commitments, Borrower shall immediately repay such excess in full. The Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall at all times be absolute and unconditional. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that any obligation of any Lender to make any Loan hereunder is strictly contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 (as applicable). For each Loan, Borrower shall make (i) monthly payments of interest only in arrears at the Applicable Rate during the Interest Only Period and (ii) beginning on the Amortization Date, equal monthly payments on each subsequent Payment Date in an amount determined through a calculation fully amortizing the outstanding principal balance due under each Loan at the Applicable Rate over the period from the Amortization Date through (and including) the Maturity Date. For clarity, the payment schedule with respect to the Tranche A Loan as of the Closing Date is reflected in Exhibit A attached hereto, and Administrative Agent may update such payment schedule from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (as amended from time to time, the “Amortization Schedule”). In the event of any inconsistency between the Amortization Schedule and the terms of the Loan Documents (including this Section 2.1), the terms of the Loan Documents shall prevail. Any and all unpaid Obligations, including principal and accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loans, fees, charges, and other sums, if any, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Borrower shall continue to comply with all of the terms and provisions hereof until all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations for which no claims has been made or asserted or other Obligations that, by their express terms, survive the termination of this Agreement) are paid and satisfied in full. After the applicable Loan Termination Date, no further Loans of the applicable tranche shall be available from the Lenders. Once repaid, no Loans may be reborrowed.

(b) The initial Advance hereunder, to be funded on the date hereof upon satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, shall be an amount equal to the Tranche A Availability Amount (the “Tranche A Loan”). Thereafter, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 and 2.6(a), Borrower may request, and the Lenders will fund, an additional Advance equal to the Tranche B Availability Amount (the “Tranche B Loan”). Thereafter, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 and 2.6(b), Borrower may request, and the Lenders will fund, an additional Advance equal to the Tranche C Availability Amount (the “Tranche C Loan”). Thereafter, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 and 2.6(c), Borrower may request, and the Lenders will fund, an additional Advance equal to the Tranche D Availability Amount (the “Tranche D Loan”).

2.2 Advances and Interest.

(a) All Loans requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ must be requested by 11:00 A.M. Arizona time, (i) with respect to the Tranche A Loan, on the Closing Date, and (ii) otherwise, five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such requested Loan. All requests or confirmations of requests for a Loan are to be in writing to Administrative Agent and may be sent by telecopy or facsimile transmission or by email provided that Administrative Agent shall have the right to require that receipt of such request not be effective unless confirmed via telephone with Lender. Borrower may not request more than one (1) Loan per calendar month. As express conditions precedent to Lender making each Loan to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the documents, instruments and agreements required pursuant to Sections 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 (as applicable) of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Loan Advance Request Form). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.2(a), all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments of the Lenders with respect to the applicable tranche of Loans, as the case may be, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender.

(b) The following amounts shall be deducted from each Loan advanced hereunder: (i) as to the Tranche A Loan advanced hereunder, the applicable Commitment Fee and the applicable Documentation and Funding Fees, (ii) as to the Tranche B Loan, the applicable Commitment Fee and the applicable Documentation and Funding Fees, (iii) as to the Tranche C Loan, the applicable Commitment Fee and the applicable Documentation and Funding Fees, and (iv) as to the Tranche D Loan, the applicable Commitment Fee and the applicable Documentation and Funding Fees.

(c) Beginning on the date of each Advance, the unpaid principal balance of all advanced Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall bear interest, payable in arrears, subject to the terms hereof, at the Applicable Rate. All payments shall be due to Administrative Agent on the applicable Payment Date, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day. If Borrower fails to make a monthly payment due within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right to require Borrower to pay to Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the past due payment. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right to increase the per annum effective rate of interest on all Loans outstanding hereunder to a rate equal to 400 basis points in excess of the Applicable Rate (the “Default Rate”). All contractual rates of interest chargeable on outstanding Loans, shall continue to accrue and be paid even after default, maturity, acceleration, judgment, bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence similar or dissimilar. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such court determines Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Administrative Agent, shall in its sole discretion and acting on behalf of the Lenders, apply and set off such excess interest received by Lenders against other Obligations hereunder due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law.

(d) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, and twelve 30-day months. For any partial month interest periods, interest will be charged for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Arizona time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of the Loans shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.

ninety (90) days following the date the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower in writing of such failure to satisfy Section 2.4(vi), any voluntary prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not be subject to the payment of any Prepayment Premium that would otherwise be applicable under this Section 2.7. For the avoidance of doubt, this waiver shall apply solely to voluntary prepayments made within such ninety (90) day period and solely in connection with the circumstances described in this paragraph, and shall not apply to any other prepayments or at any other time.

2.10 Proceeds of Collateral. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the written notice of Administrative Agent, all proceeds from the Collateral shall be immediately delivered to Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, and Administrative Agent may apply such proceeds and payments to any of the Obligations in such order as Administrative Agent may decide in its sole discretion.

2.11 Tax Matters.

(a) Withholding. Payments received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender from Borrower hereunder will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto). Specifically, however, (i) if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law or regulation requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, and (ii) such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction for Indemnified Taxes, Administrative Agent or such Lender receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction for Indemnified Taxes been required and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower will, upon request, furnish the Administrative Agent with proof reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower. The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.11) payable or paid

by such Lender or Administrative Agent, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or Administrative Agent, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The relevant Lender or Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the imposition of any Indemnified Tax reasonably promptly after becoming aware of the imposition of such Tax. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.18 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 Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.11(d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Section 2.11 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnifying party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall promptly repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.11(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate

of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(D) and (ii)(E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) copies of executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(a) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(b) copies of executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(c) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form); or

(d) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio

interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(D) each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to (i) comply with their obligations under FATCA and (ii) determine whether such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) has complied with such Lender’s (or the Administrative Agent’s, as applicable) obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

(E) the Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent, shall deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the administrative agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower) executed copies of either (i) IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) or (ii) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form) evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person (with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender) and IRS Form W-8ECI (with respect to amounts received on its own account), with the effect that, in either case, the Borrower will be entitled to make payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent without withholding or deduction on account of U.S. federal withholding Tax.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update and deliver such form or certification to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(i) The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(j) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the issue price (within the meaning of Section 1273(b) of the Code) of the Loan will be determined pursuant to Section 1272 through 1275 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Section 1.1273-2(h)(1) of the Treasury Regulations.

2.12 Apportionment of Payments. All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares, or as otherwise provided herein.

2.13 Defaulting Lenders. 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:

(a) Such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(b) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to such Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Administrative Agent for such Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to such Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to the Pro Rata Shares of such Defaulting Lender) (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s Loans were funded by the other Lenders).

(c) The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitments of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender.

in, or received by the Administrative Agent or Lenders under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (B) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, execution, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Borrower a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, (C) the financial condition or business affairs of Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations or (D) the attachment, creation and/or perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted in the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or the continuation and/or amendment of any financing statements filed to perfect the Liens in the applicable Collateral (other than to the extent expressly directed by the Required Lenders).

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to the Lenders arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof. Additionally, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Defaulting Lenders, Affiliates of a Lender (or otherwise determine whether a Person qualifies as a Defaulting Lender or Affiliate of a Lender). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant qualifies as a Defaulting Lender or Affiliate of a Lender and, absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which may be by written notice), shall be permitted to treat each Lender, participant, prospective Lender or prospective participant as if it is not a Defaulting Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Defaulting Lender or Affiliate of a Lender.

5.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon (and shall not be liable for so relying upon) any communication, request, instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, internet or intranet website posting, statement, order or other document (or other writing) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made (or authenticated) by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts and professional advisors selected by the Administrative Agent. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, 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 Loan. The Administrative Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) prior to taking any action or enter into any amendments, modifications or supplements, making any determination (including as to whether any agreement, document or instrument is in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), making any calculation (which may be confirmed by the Required Lenders), sending any notice, making a selection or request (including failing to make a

selection or request), exercising any voting rights or powers (including failing to exercise any voting rights or powers) or providing any consent or approval (including failing to provide any consent or approval) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and may refrain (and shall incur no liability from so refraining) from taking or omitting to take any act or making any such determination, calculation, selection, request, exercising such voting rights or powers or providing such notice, approval or consent or entering into or any amendments, modifications or supplements until it receives such instruction (or calculation, as applicable) from the Required Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), in each case as it reasonably deems appropriate (and until such instructions and indemnity, as applicable, are received, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable in good faith in the interests of the Lenders). The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to applicable requirement of law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar laws)) or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of Bankruptcy Code (or any similar laws) or the terms of any of the Loan Documents or that would in its reasonable opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to personal liability. Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, an Assignment and Acceptance and/or funding its Loans, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by the Administrative Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date or as of the date of funding such Loan. On any applicable date of determination, upon request, the Administrative Agent shall be required to calculate whether a particular group of Lenders constitutes the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to remit payments, the proceeds of Collateral or any other funds to the Lenders or any other Secured Parties herein except in accordance with the Loan Documents.

5.5 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or such number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in good faith in the interests of the Lenders.

5.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or attorneys in fact have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Borrower or any affiliate of a Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of

the Borrower and its affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required hereunder or otherwise requested by the Borrower in writing to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

5.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not timely reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 5.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing including without limitation, exercising any of the Administrative Agent’s powers, rights, and remedies and performing their duties hereunder and thereunder (or omitting to do the same); provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent Indemnitee for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided, however, no action taken or not taken in accordance with the directions of the Administrative Agent, Required Lenders or such other percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary hereunder, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 5.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

5.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

5.9 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent (which shall include the Administrative Agent’s capacities as administrative agent and collateral agent) upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to written approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or

delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Administrative Agent for all purposes hereunder unless otherwise agreed. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s delivery of its notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and with the written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed or required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation (“Resignation Effective Date”), the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective in accordance with such notice, and (i) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ appoint a successor agent as provided for above, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (iii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring 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 successor Administrative Agent is appointed as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall a successor agent be a Defaulting Lender.

5.10 Authorization for Intercreditor Agreement and Subordination Agreement. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into and perform its obligations under any subordination agreement, intercreditor agreement or other similar arrangement permitted under this Agreement and any amendments, restatements, supplements or other modifications thereto approved in accordance with the terms thereof (without limiting the provisions set forth in Section 5.4 hereof).

5.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) To file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) To file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

(c) To collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

(d) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each applicable Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender further agrees that it shall not propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise support any plan of reorganization that is in contravention of any plan of reorganization that is proposed or supported by the Administrative Agent, and shall affirmatively vote to “reject” any plan of reorganization that is not affirmatively supported by the Administrative Agent.

5.12 Collateral Matters.

(a) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time (but without any obligation) to take any action with respect to the Collateral and this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document if required or expressly permitted under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall:

(i) Release (or confirm any release) any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (A) upon the date on which all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations for which no claims has been made or asserted or other Obligations that, by their express terms, survive the termination of this Agreement) have been repaid in full, (B) constituting property sold or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or to which the Required Lenders have consented, (C) that does not constitute (or ceases to constitute) Collateral, (D) otherwise pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Loan Document or (E) subject to Section 5.11, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, provided, however, that if any action is required by the Administrative Agent to so release such Lien, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate certifying to the permissibility of such release hereunder (and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to rely upon such certificate without incurring any liability therefor);

(ii) Enter into any subordination agreement and/or similar agreement contemplated hereunder, including with respect to Debt that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated in right of payment hereunder and/or (ii) secured by ▇▇▇▇▇ and required or permitted to be pari passu with or junior to the Liens securing the Obligations, and with respect to which Debt, a subordination agreement or similar agreement is contemplated under this Agreement.

(c) Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, (ii) no Lender shall have any right to enforce the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely

by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (iii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Administrative Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or the Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(d) Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by Borrower 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, Liens therein or financing statements filed in connection therewith. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant this Section 5.12. In each case as specified in this Article 5, the Administrative Agent will and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, at the Borrower’s expense, promptly execute and deliver to Borrower such documents, filings and recordings as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to subordinate its interest therein, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 5. Additionally, upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will return possessory Collateral held by it that is released from the security interests of the Loan Documents pursuant to this Article 5; provided that, in the event that any possessory collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent gets lost or misplaced upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall provide a loss affidavit to the Borrower in the form customarily provided by the Administrative Agent in such circumstances.

ARTICLE 6

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’S INDEMNITY

6.1 Indemnity By ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Borrower covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense and without limiting any other rights which Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ have hereunder, to indemnify, protect and save Administrative Agent, each Lender, and each of their directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Administrative Agent or any Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against and from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, demands, defenses, judgments and reasonable and documented costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (but limited, in the case of legal charges and disbursements, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel to all Indemnified Persons) which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Administrative Agent or a Lender and related to or arising from the following, unless such claim, loss or damage shall be based upon the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or such Lender:

(a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses);

(b) any investigative, response, remedial, administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and the reasonable and documented expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by a Lender) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the loan proceeds;

(c) any breach by Borrower of the representations, warranties, covenants, or other obligations or agreements made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any agreement related hereto or thereto;

(d) the violation by Borrower of any state or federal law, rule or regulation;

(e) a material misrepresentation made by Borrower to Administrative Agent or a Lender; and

(f) any governmental fees, charges, taxes or penalties levied or imposed in respect to any Collateral.

This Section 6.1 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

6.2 Defense of Claims. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay all amounts due under this Article 6 promptly on notice thereof from Administrative Agent. To the extent that Borrower may make or provide, to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, for payment of all amounts due under this Article 6, Borrower shall be subrogated to Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to such events or conditions. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may defend any claims with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, provided if the claim creates a significant exposure for the Lenders in Administrative Agent’s its sole judgment, or attempts to establish legal principle adverse to any Lender or Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent, on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall select the defense counsel. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may settle any claims against Administrative Agent or a Lender, provided such settlement includes a complete release of Administrative Agent and Lenders from any claims at no cost to Administrative Agent or Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel as selected by Administrative Agent or a Lender for all Indemnified Persons in each relevant jurisdiction with respect to the same matter.

6.3 Survival. All of the indemnities and agreements contained in this Article 6 shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, the full payment of any Loans or Borrower’s performance of all Obligations.

ARTICLE 7

DEFAULT

7.1 Rights on Default. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall be entitled to:

(a) declare the unpaid balance of the Loans and this Agreement immediately due and payable, whether then due or thereafter arising;

(b) modify the terms and conditions upon which the Lenders may be willing to consider making Loans hereunder or immediately and automatically terminate any further obligations to make Loans under this Agreement;

(c) require Borrower to, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Administrative Agent, assemble the Collateral or any part thereof, as directed by Administrative Agent and make it available to Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by Administrative Agent, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent deems commercially reasonable;

(d) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Administrative Agent and its agents and any purchasers at or after foreclosure are hereby granted a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual (for so long as such Event of Default is continuing), fully paid, royalty-free license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s Intellectual Property, including labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any Property of a similar nature, now or at any time hereafter owned or acquired by Borrower or in which Borrower now or at any time hereafter has any rights; provided that such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of Collateral upon Administrative Agent’s exercise of its remedies hereunder;

(e) without notice except as specified below, sell, resell, assign and deliver or grant a license to use or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any place designated by Administrative Agent;

(f) occupy any premises owned or leased by Borrower where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to Borrower in respect of such occupation;

(g) commence and prosecute any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding or consent to Borrower commencing any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding;

(h) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Administrative Agent and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Account Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(i) exercise any and all rights and remedies of Borrower under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, (A) any and all rights of Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the accounts receivables and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to any Deposit Accounts, (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the accounts receivables and the other Collateral, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC and (D) exercise any and all voting, consensual and other rights with respect to any Collateral; and

(j) exercise all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent and Lenders may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of

the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder, except for claims based upon gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or a Lender. Borrower hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise. The Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action with regard thereto. The Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent and Lenders may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefore, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(k) all payments received by Borrower in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower and shall be forthwith paid over the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement);

(l) the Administrative Agent may, without notice to Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or part of the Obligations against any funds deposited with it or held by it;

(m) upon the written demand of the Administrative Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a collateral assignment or assignments of any or all of Borrower’s Intellectual Property and such other documents and take such other actions as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof;

(n) if Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Administrative Agent may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 4.2(q) of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Administrative Agent deems prudent. Any amounts paid or deposited by Administrative Agent shall constitute Administrative Agent’s Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Administrative Agent shall not constitute an agreement by Administrative Agent to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Administrative Agent of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses, including Administrative Agent’s Expenses, incurred by Administrative Agent in the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Obligations hereunder not performed when due;

(o) Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Lenders shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. The Obligations of Borrower to any Lender may be enforced against Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it shall not be necessary for any other party to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding to enforce such Obligations;

(p) the proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, at the time of or received by Administrative Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:

First, to the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable and documented legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Administrative Agent, including Administrative Agent’s Expenses;

Second, to the payment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Loans for any accrued and unpaid interest, the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Sections 2.7, 2.8 or 2.9, if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, the principal balance of the Loans, and all other Obligations with respect to the Loans (provided, however, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Loans, then first, to the unpaid interest thereon ratably, second, to the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Sections 2.7, 2.8 or 2.9 ratably, if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, third, to the principal balance of the Loans ratably, and fourth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then payable to Lenders under any of the Loan Documents); and

Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its successors and assigns or to the Person lawfully entitled to receive the same;

(q) Administrative Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), Administrative Agent shall be restored to its former position and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the security interest created under this Agreement.

7.2 Rights Cumulative; Waivers. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers given hereunder, or in or by any other instrument, or available in law or equity. Administrative Agent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s knowledge at any time of any breach of, or non-compliance with, any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of any of such rights or remedies hereunder, and any waiver of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any other default. Notwithstanding any foreclosure or sale of any item of Collateral by Administrative Agent as permitted under this Agreement, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. All amounts realized by Administrative Agent in furtherance of its rights to sell or foreclose upon the Collateral shall first be applied to all costs of the action and all costs of enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, including any court costs, legal or expert fees and filing fees, then to any outstanding interest or penalties payable under this Agreement, then to repayment of principal of all Loans.

Borrower hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and Lenders are under no further obligation to make or extend Loans hereunder. Administrative Agent’s foregoing appointment as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ attorney in fact, and all of Administrative Agent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Lenders’ obligation to provide Loans terminates.

The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation assignments, assumptions, amendments, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act in effect in the State of New York, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

8.16 Correction of Loan Documents. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall be deemed given if Borrower has not responded to any such request for consent within ten (10) Business Days) correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as Administrative Agent provides Borrower with notice of such correction.

8.17 Right of Set Off. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a Lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Lenders hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property (other than Excluded Property), now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or any entity under the control of the Lenders (including a Lender affiliate) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDERS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER

PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY BORROWER.

8.18 Registers.

(a) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions in Section 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 8.4; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11, 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.

8.19 [Reserved].

8.20 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, provided that such Persons have agreed to maintain confidentiality on substantially similar terms as those in this Section 8.20; (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order and in connection with reporting obligations applicable to Administrative Agent or such Lender, including pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (d) to Administrative Agent or such Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with any examination or audit; (e) as Administrative Agent or such Lender considers appropriate in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Obligations; and (f) to third-party service providers of Administrative Agent or Lenders so long as such service providers are bound by confidentiality terms not more permissive than the terms hereof. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Administrative Agent or any Lender’s possession when disclosed to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a

result of its disclosure by Administrative Agent or such Lender in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable; or (ii) disclosed to Administrative Agent or a Lender by a third party, if Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.21 Managerial Assistance.

Borrower acknowledges that Trinity Capital Inc. has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act, and as such is required to make available significant managerial assistance to its portfolio companies. Significant managerial assistance may include, but is not limited to, guidance and counsel concerning the portfolio company’s management, operations, business objectives and policies, arrangement of financing, management of relationships with financing sources, recruitment of management personnel and evaluation of acquisition and divestiture opportunities. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may request such assistance at any time from Trinity Capital Inc. by contacting the portfolio manager designated by Trinity Capital Inc.

8.22 Termination.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall terminate upon satisfaction and repayment in full of all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification Obligations for which no claim has been made or other Obligations that, by their express terms, survive the termination of this Agreement). Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination and the repayment in full of all Obligations shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination and the repayment of all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification Obligations for which no claim has been made or other Obligations that, by their express terms, survive the termination of this Agreement).
