This AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES FINANCING AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 31, 2023, among CINCINNATI BELL FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), CINCINNATI BELL INC., an Ohio corporation (“CB” or “Servicer”), THE VARIOUS LENDERS, LC PARTICIPANTS AND GROUP AGENTS FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY HERETO, PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrator for each Group (in such capacity, the “Administrator”), and as issuer of Letters of Credit, and PNC CAPITAL MARKETS, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, as Structuring Agent (in such capacity, the “Structuring Agent”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I. References in the Exhibits hereto to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

The Borrower has requested (a) that the Lenders make Loans from time to time to the Borrower and (b) that the LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of one or more Letters of Credit from time to time, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the Closing Date, the Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Agreement”), among the Borrower, as “U.S. Borrower”, the Servicer, as “U.S. Servicer”, Cincinnati Bell Funding Canada Ltd., as “Canadian Borrower”, OnX Enterprise Solutions, Ltd., as “Canadian Servicer”, the “Group Agents” and “Lenders” from time to time party thereto and the Administrator.

Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, (i) the Borrower and the Servicer shall continue to be liable to each of the parties to the Original Agreement or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement) for fees and expenses which are accrued and unpaid under the Original Agreement on the date hereof (collectively, the “Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts”) and all agreements to indemnify such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the effective date of this Agreement and (ii) the security interest created by the Borrower under the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as security for such Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts until such Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts shall have been paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, unless expressly herein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement.

In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

Section 1.1 Loan Facility.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrower may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, request that the Lenders make Loans in U.S. Dollars. Each loan requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.2(a) shall be made ratably (based on Ratable Share) by the respective Groups, and each Group’s Ratable Share of each Loan shall be made and funded (x) if such Group contains a Conduit Lender and such Conduit Lender elects (in its sole discretion) to make and fund such portion of such Loan, by such Conduit Lender, or (y) if such Group does not contain a Conduit Lender or if the Conduit Lender in such Group declines (in its sole discretion) to make or fund such portion of such Loan, by the Related Committed Lender in such Group and (ii) request that the LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit, in each case subject to the terms hereof (each such loan or issuance is referred to herein as a “Loan”). At no time will a Conduit Lender have any obligation to make a Loan. Each Related Committed Lender severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Loans to the Borrower from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date or, if earlier, the Scheduled Termination Date with respect to such Related Committed Lender, based on the applicable Group’s Ratable Share of each Loan requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (and, in the case of each Related Committed Lender, its Commitment Percentage of its Group’s Ratable Share of such Loan) and, on the terms of and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the LC Bank hereby agrees to issue Letters of Credit in return for (and each LC Participant hereby severally agrees to make Participation Advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit equal to such LC Participant’s Ratable Share of such draws). Notwithstanding anything set forth in this paragraph (a) or otherwise herein to the contrary under no circumstances shall any Lender make any Loan or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, as applicable, if, after giving effect to such Loan, the (i) aggregate outstanding amount of the Capital of such Lender, when added to all other Capital of all other Lenders in such Lender’s Group would exceed (A) its Group’s Group Commitment (as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 1.1(c)), minus (B) the Related LC Participant’s Ratable Share of the LC Participation Amount, (ii) Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Facility Limit, (iii) the Coverage Percentage would exceed 100% or (iv) the LC Participation Amount would exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the LC Participants.

The Borrower may, subject to this paragraph (a) and the other requirements and conditions herein, use the proceeds of any loan by the Lenders hereunder to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank and the LC Participants (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by the LC Bank and each such LC Participant) pursuant to Section 1.14 below.

(b) The Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding Capital of each Lender on the Final Maturity Date. Prior thereto, the Borrower shall, on each Settlement Date, make a prepayment of the outstanding Capital of the Lenders to the extent required under Section 1.4 and otherwise in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower, in its discretion, shall have the right to make a prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding Capital of the Lenders (i) at any time when PNC (or an Affiliate thereof) is both the Administrator and the sole Lender

hereunder, and to the extent the Borrower has entered into a separate written agreement with the Administrator regarding Administrator’s PINACLE^® auto-advance service (or any similar or replacement electronic loan administration service implemented by the Administrator) pursuant to Section 1.2(a) hereof, on any Business Day, or (ii) on any Business Day, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice thereof to the Administrator and each Lender in the form of Annex E (each, a “Paydown Notice”); provided that the Borrower may make a prepayment Capital so long as (x) the amount of such Capital being prepaid does not exceed $20,000,000 and (y) the related Paydown Notice is received by the Administrator and each Group Agent before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $200,000; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a prepayment may be made in an amount necessary to reduce the Coverage Percentage to 100% and (ii) any accrued Interest and Fees in respect of such prepaid Capital shall be paid on the immediately following Settlement Date.

(c) The Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Group Agent, terminate the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement in whole or, upon at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrator, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Facility Limit (but not below the amount that would cause the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Facility Limit or would cause the Group Capital of any Group to exceed its Group Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such reduction); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Facility Limit shall in no event be reduced below $20,000,000. Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Related Committed Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and their respective Commitments. The Administrator shall promptly advise the Group Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(c); it being understood that (in addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder) no such termination or reduction shall be effective unless and until (i) in the case of a termination, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding LC Participation Amount plus the LC Fee Expectation and (ii) in the case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the amount, if any, by which the Facility Limit as so reduced by such partial reduction exceeds the sum of the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount.

Section 1.2 Making Loans.

(a) The Borrower may request a Loan to be made in cash on any day upon the Borrower’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (each, a “Borrowing Notice”) delivered to the Administrator and each Group Agent in accordance with Section 6.2; provided that, at any time when PNC (or an Affiliate thereof) is both the Administrator and the sole Lender hereunder, if the Borrower enters into a separate written agreement with the Administrator regarding Administrator’s PINACLE^® auto-advance service (or any similar or replacement electronic loan administration service implemented by the Administrator), then any request for a Loan made using such service shall constitute a Borrowing Notice, and each Loan made pursuant to such service shall be made on the date such Loan Request is received by the Administrator.

Otherwise, each Borrowing Notice must be received by the Administrator and each Group Agent before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day before the date of the requested Loan; provided that the Borrower may request a Loan on the date of the requested Loan so long as (x) the amount of such Loan does not exceed $20,000,000 and (y) the related Borrowing Notice is received by the Administrator and each Group Agent before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time). Each Borrowing Notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Borrower (such amount, which shall not be less than $500,000 or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrator and each Group Agent), being the Capital then being funded with respect to each Group, (B) the date of such Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Coverage Percentage after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital resulting from such Loan.

(b) On the date of each Loan requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.2(a), each applicable Conduit Lender or Related Committed Lender, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Borrower in same day funds, at such account so designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrator and each Group Agent, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of such Loan requested.

(c) To secure the payment in full and performance of all obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in and collaterally assigns, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising:

(i) all Pool Receivables,

(ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables,

(iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables,

(iv) (A) the Lock-Box Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts and amounts on deposit therein and (B) each LC Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such LC Collateral Account and amounts on deposit therein,

(v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Borrower under the Sale Agreement, and

(vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”).

If the grant of the security interests under this Section 1.2(c) with respect to any Contract would result in the termination or breach of such Contract, or is otherwise prohibited or ineffective (whether by the terms thereof or under Applicable Law), then such Contract shall not be subject to the security interests granted hereunder but shall be held in trust by the Borrower for the benefit

of the Administrator (for its own benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties) and, on the exercise by the Administrator of any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement following an Event of Default shall be assigned by the Borrower as directed by the Administrator; provided that: (a) the security interests of the Borrower shall attach to such Contract, or applicable portion thereof, immediately at such time as the condition causing such termination or breach is remedied, and (b) if a term in a Contract that prohibits or restricts the grant of the security interests in the whole of an account or chattel paper forming part of the Pool Assets is unenforceable against the Administrator under Applicable Law, then the exclusion from the security interests set out above shall not apply to such account or chattel paper. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrator to file one or more financing statements, and amendments thereto, describing the collateral covered thereby as “ALL ASSETS” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement. The Administrator, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the other Secured Parties, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may, at any time from and after an Event of Default, (i) obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an order for the appointment of a Receiver of the Borrower or of any or all of the Pool Assets of the Borrower or (ii) appoint by instrument in writing one or more Receivers of the Borrower or any or all of the Pool Assets of the Borrower with such rights, powers and authority (including any or all of the rights, powers and authority of the Administrator under this Agreement) as may be provided for in the instrument of appointment or any supplemental instrument, and remove and replace any such Receiver from time to time. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any Receiver appointed by the Administrator shall (for purposes relating to responsibility for the Receiver’s acts or omissions) be considered to be the agent of the Borrower and not of the Administrator or any of the other Secured Parties.

(d) The Borrower confirms that value has been given by the Secured Parties to the Borrower, that the Borrower has rights in its Pool Assets existing at the date of this Agreement, and that the Borrower and the Administrator have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of any security interest created by this Agreement to any of the Pool Assets of the Borrower.

(e) The Borrower may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Group Agent (and, in the case of a new Related LC Participant, the LC Bank), add additional Persons as Lenders (either to an existing Group or by creating new Groups) or cause an existing Related Committed Lender or Related LC Participant to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Facility Limit; provided that the Commitment of any Related Committed Lender or Related LC Participant may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Lender (which consent may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion). Each new Conduit Lender, Related Committed Lender or Related LC Participant (or Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrator, each Group Agent and the Borrower, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Conduit Lender, Related Committed Lender or Related LC Participant, be executed by each Person in such new Lender’s Group).

(f) Each Related Committed Lender’s and Related LC Participant’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Related Committed Lender or Related LC

Participant to make a payment in connection with any loan hereunder, or drawing under a Letter of Credit hereunder, as the case may be, shall not relieve any other Related Committed Lender or Related LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Funded Loan or such drawing. Further, in the event any Related Committed Lender or Related LC Participant fails to satisfy its obligation to make a payment with respect to such drawing as required hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Borrower or the Administrator (or any relevant Group Agent or, solely to the extent no such notice has been given, notice by the Servicer), subject to the limitations set forth herein, the non-defaulting Related Committed Lenders or Related LC Participants in such defaulting Related Committed Lender’s or Related LC Participant’s Group shall fund the defaulting Related Committed Lender’s or Related LC Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the related Loan or drawing pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Related Committed Lender or Related LC Participant; it being understood that a defaulting Related Committed Lender’s or Related LC Participant’s Commitment Percentage of any Loan or drawing shall be first funded by the Related Committed Lenders or Related LC Participants in such defaulting Related Committed Lender’s or Related LC Participant’s Group and thereafter if there are no other Related Committed Lenders or Related LC Participants in such Group or if such other Related Committed Lenders or Related LC Participants are also defaulting Related Committed Lenders or Related LC Participants, then such defaulting Related Committed Lender’s or Related LC Participant’s Commitment Percentage of such Loan or drawing shall be funded by each other Group ratably (based on Ratable Share) and applied in accordance with this paragraph (f)). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (f) to the contrary, no Related Committed Lender or Related LC Participant shall be required to make a Loan or payment with respect to such drawing pursuant to this paragraph for an amount which would cause the aggregate amount of the Capital of such Related Committed Lender or the Ratable Share of the LC Participation Amount of such Related LC Participant (after giving effect to such Loan or payment with respect to such drawing) to exceed its Commitment.

Section 1.3 Coverage Percentage Computation. The Coverage Percentage shall be initially computed on the Closing Date. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, such Coverage Percentage shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than a Termination Day. On any Termination Day, the Coverage Percentage shall be deemed to be 100%. The Coverage Percentage shall become zero when the Final Payout Date has occurred and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon.

Section 1.4 Settlement Procedures.

(a) The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, if so requested by the Administrator, segregate in a separate account designated by the Administrator, which shall be an account maintained and controlled by the Administrator unless the Administrator otherwise instructs in its sole discretion), for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth below, all Collections on Pool Receivables that are received by the Servicer or the Borrower or received in any Lock-Box Account the customer of record of which at the applicable Lock-Box Bank is the Borrower (each such Lock-Box Account, a “Lock-Box Account”); provided, however, that so long as each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 of Exhibit II are satisfied on such date, the Servicer may release to the Borrower from such

Collections the amount (if any) necessary to pay (i) the purchase price for Receivables purchased by the Borrower on such date in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement or (ii) amounts owing by the Borrower to the Originators under the Subordinated Loans made by the Originators (each such release, a “Release”). On each Settlement Date, the Servicer (or, following (x) its assumption of control of the Lock-Box Accounts or (y) its receipt of any amounts payable under any Pool Receivable pursuant to Section 4.4(a), the Administrator) shall, distribute such Collections in the following order of priority:

(i) first, during the continuance of any Event of Default, to the Administrator, for the payment of costs and out-of-pocket expenses payable by the Borrower under Section 6.4(a) to the extent such costs arise from the replacement of the Servicer with any successor Servicer(s), including, without limitation, any upfront charges, ongoing fees, deposits, and transition costs;

(ii) second, to the Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable to it for the immediately preceding Interest Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable to it for any prior Interest Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to the Servicer);

(iii) third, to each Lender and other Credit Party (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), all accrued and unpaid Interest and Fees due to such Lender and other Credit Party accrued during the immediately preceding Interest Period (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 1.10 and 3.1 in respect of such payments), plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Interest and Fees (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 1.10 and 3.1 in respect of such payments) payable for any prior Interest Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Lender or Credit Party;

(iv) fourth, as set forth in clause (x), (y) or (z) below, as applicable:

	(x)	if such day is not a Termination Day, to the extent that the Coverage Percentage exceeds 100% on such date: (I) first, to the Lenders (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Lender at such time) for the payment of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Capital at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the Coverage Percentage to 100% and (II) second, to each LC Collateral Account, in reduction of the Aggregate Adjusted LC Participation Amount, in an amount equal to the amount necessary (after giving effect to clause (I) above) to reduce the Coverage Percentage to 100%;

	(y)	if such day is a Termination Day: (I) first, to each Lender (ratably, based on the amount of aggregate outstanding Capital of each Lender at such time) for the payment in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Lender at such time and (II) second, to each LC Collateral Account (A) the amount necessary to reduce the

		Aggregate Adjusted LC Participation Amount to zero ($0) and (B) an amount equal to the LC Fee Expectation at such time; or

	(z)	if such day is not a Termination Day, at the election of the Borrower and in accordance with Section 1.2(b), to the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Lenders at such time (ratably, based on the amount of aggregate outstanding Capital of each Lender at such time);

(v) fifth, to the Credit Parties that are then Exiting Lenders (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other obligations then due and owing by the Borrower to such Credit Parties;

(vi) sixth, to the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other obligations then due and owing by the Borrower to the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties;

(vii) seventh, the balance, if any, to be paid to the Borrower for its own account;

provided, however, that in the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Servicing Fees shall be paid pursuant to clause (ii) above prior to the application of payments pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) above.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) All payments or distributions to be made by the Servicer, the Borrower or any other Person to the Lenders (or their respective related Affected Persons and Indemnified Parties) or the LC Bank hereunder shall be paid or distributed to the related Group Agent. The applicable Group Agent shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Lenders, the LC Bank, Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties ratably.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) For the purposes of this Section 1.4:

(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor (except any such revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made in settlement of such Pool Receivable resulting from the financial inability of the applicable Obligor to pay such Pool Receivable and, in the case of all Pool Receivables, made in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies), the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall immediately pay any

and all such amounts in respect thereof to a Lock-Box Account for the benefit of the Lenders and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4;

(ii) if on any day it is determined that any of the representations or warranties in Sections 1(j) or 3(a) of Exhibit III was (and at the time of such determination remains) untrue with respect to any Pool Receivable at the time a Loan was made with respect to such Pool Receivable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and shall immediately pay any and all such amounts to a Lock-Box Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrator at such time) for the benefit of the Lenders and their assigns and for application pursuant to this Section 1.4 (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (e) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);

(iii) except as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in a manner consistent with the application and allocation procedures employed by the Servicer at such time; and

(iv) if and to the extent the Administrator, any Group Agent or any Lender shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, Receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Borrower and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Borrower for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

Section 1.5 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to each Group Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and Liquidity Providers in the related Group in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.4(a) and the Structuring Agent certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in one or more fee letter agreements, dated the Closing Date (or dated the date any such Lender and member of its related Group become a party hereto pursuant to an Assumption Agreement, a Transfer Supplement or otherwise), between the Borrower and the applicable Group Agent, respectively (as any such fee letter agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, each, a “Group Fee Letter” and each of the Group Fee Letters may be referred to collectively as, the “Fee Letters”).

Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account for each Lender maintained by the applicable Group Agent (or such other account as may be designated from time to time by such Group Agent to the Borrower and the Servicer). All amounts received after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

(b) The Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 3% per annum above the applicable Base Rate, payable on demand.

(c) All computations of interest under paragraph (b) and all computations of Interest, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Interest or other amounts calculated by reference to the applicable Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Section 1.7 Increased Costs.

(a) If, after the date hereof, the Administrator, any Lender, Liquidity Provider or Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person based upon the existence of any commitment to make Loans (or otherwise to maintain the Loans) or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator), the Borrower shall promptly pay such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person determines such increase in capital is allocable to the existence of any of such commitments.

(b) If due to any Change in Law, including a Change in Law that subjects any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, there shall be any increase after the Closing Date in the cost to any Affected Person of making or maintaining the Loans (or its portion thereof) in respect of which Interest is computed by reference to SOFR, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs.

(c) If an Affected Person requests compensation under this Section 1.7, a certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for such Affected Person’s demand for such amounts shall be submitted to the Borrower and the applicable Group Agent by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Within a reasonable time period after any Affected Person has actual knowledge that it is subject to increased capital requirements or incurs other increased costs pursuant to this Section 1.7, such Affected Person shall notify the Borrower and the Servicer of such fact.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.7 to the contrary, (i) if any Affected Person fails to give demand for amounts or losses incurred in connection with this Section 1.7 within one hundred and eighty (180) days after it obtains knowledge that it is subject to increased capital requirements or has incurred other increased costs, such Affected Person shall, with respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.7, only be entitled to payment under this Section 1.7 for amounts or losses incurred from and after the date one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Affected Person does give such demand and (ii) the Borrower shall not be required to pay to any Affected Person (I) any amount that has been fully and finally paid in cash to such Affected Person pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or (II) any amount, if the payment of such amount is expressly excluded by any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 1.8 Requirements of Law.

(a) If, after the date hereof, any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law:

(i) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, Loans, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of SOFR,

(ii) does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition,

and the result of any of the foregoing is: (1) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of agreeing to make or maintain the Loans (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (2) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred.

(b) If an Affected Person requests compensation under this Section 1.8, a certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for such Affected Person’s demand for such amounts shall be submitted to the Borrower and the applicable Group Agent by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Within a reasonable time period after any Affected Person has actual knowledge that it has incurred additional costs or reduced amounts receivable pursuant to this Section 1.8, such Affected Person shall notify the Borrower and the Servicer of such fact.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.8 to the contrary, (i) if any Affected Person fails to give demand for additional costs or reduced amounts receivable incurred in connection with this Section 1.8 within one hundred and eighty (180) days after it obtains knowledge that it has suffered additional costs or reduced amounts receivable, such Affected Person shall, with respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.8, only be entitled to payment under this Section 1.8 for amounts or losses incurred from and after the date one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Affected Person does give such demand and (ii)

the Borrower shall not be required to pay to any Affected Person (I) any amount that has been fully and finally paid in cash to such Affected Person pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (II) any amount, if the payment of such amount is expressly excluded by any provision of this Agreement or (III) any amount, if such amount constitutes Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes).

Section 1.9 Funding Losses.

(a) The Borrower shall compensate each Affected Person, upon written request by such Person for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed by it to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital hereunder at an interest rate determined by reference to SOFR and any loss sustained by such Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which such Affected Person may sustain with respect to funding or maintaining such Portion of Capital at SOFR if, for any reason, after the applicable request by the Borrower to fund or maintain such Portion of Capital at an interest rate determined by reference to SOFR, such funding or maintenance does not occur on a date specified therefor.

(b) If an Affected Person requests compensation under this Section 1.9, a certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for such Affected Person’s demand for such amounts shall be submitted to the Borrower and the applicable Group Agent by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Within a reasonable time period after any Affected Person has actual knowledge that such Affected Person has incurred losses pursuant to this Section 1.9, such Affected Person shall notify the Borrower and the Servicer of such fact.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.9 to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay to any Affected Person any amount pursuant to this Section 1.9 to the extent (i) such amount has been fully and finally paid in cash to such Affected Person pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a component of Interest) or any other Transaction Document or (ii) the payment of such amount is expressly excluded by any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 1.10 Taxes.

(a) The Borrower agrees that:

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by law. If any applicable withholding agent shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Tax from or in respect of any such payment, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all Taxes, including Taxes applicable

to additional sums payable under this Section 1.10(a)(i)) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(ii) Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for the account of any Lender or any Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment as may be available to the Borrower and acceptable to the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over such Person. If the Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrator and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Person within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withhold or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.10) and any penalties, interest and 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.

(c) (i) Each Foreign Lender shall, prior to becoming a Foreign Lender and upon changing its funding office, to the extent entitled to an exemption or reduction of withholding tax, provide to the Borrower and Administrator the applicable documentation set forth in Section 1.10(c)(ii) and all other applicable properly completed and executed documentation certifying that payments hereunder to such Foreign Lender are exempt from or not subject to withholding tax or are subject to a reduced rate of withholding (such documentation, a “Withholding Certificate”). Each Foreign Lender shall also deliver a Withholding Certificate, if legally entitled to do so, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any Withholding Certificate previously delivered by such Foreign Lender and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered Withholding Certificate to the Borrower. No Foreign Lender may become a Lender hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a Withholding Certificate that is able to be provided pursuant to the foregoing provisions in advance of becoming a party to this Agreement. Each Foreign Lender shall within a reasonable time period notify the Borrower that it is a Foreign Lender and shall also within a reasonable time period notify the Borrower of any change in its funding office.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrator on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request

of the Borrower or the Administrator), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrator (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrator), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign 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 this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Annex L-1 to the effect that such Foreign 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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Annex L-2 or Annex L-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Annex L-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrator (in such number of copies as shall

be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrator), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrator to determine withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other 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 Borrower and the Administrator at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrator 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 Administrator as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrator to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s 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.

(d) If an Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 1.10 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Affected Person (including Taxes) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any applicable Taxes payable in respect of such interest); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Affected Person in the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will any Affected Person be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place such Affected Person in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Affected Person 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 1.10 shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(e) If an Affected Person requests indemnification or repayment under this Section 1.10, a certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for such Affected Person’s demand for such amounts shall be submitted to the Borrower and the applicable Group Agent by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(f) Within a reasonable time period after an obligation of the Borrower to indemnify or repay an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 1.10 arises, such Affected Person shall notify the Borrower and Servicer of such fact.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.10 to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay to an Affected Person any amount pursuant to this Section 1.10 to the extent (i) such amount has been fully and finally paid in cash to such Affected Person pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (ii) the payment of such amount is expressly excluded by any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 1.11 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the LC Bank shall from time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date until the Facility Termination Date issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit on behalf of the Borrower (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, any Originator or the Servicer or any other Affiliate of the Borrower and the Servicer); provided, however, the LC Bank’s obligation to issue a Letter of Credit shall be subject in all respects to the limitations set forth in the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 1.1(a).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Interest shall accrue on all amounts drawn under Letters of Credit for each day on and after the applicable Drawing Date so long as such drawn amounts shall have not been reimbursed to the LC Bank pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 1.12 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) The Borrower may request the LC Bank, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrator the LC Bank’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Annex G attached hereto and a Borrowing Notice, substantially in the form of Annex B hereto, in each case completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrator and the LC Bank. The Borrower also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the Administrator upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an

expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance, extension or renewal, as the case may be, and in no event later than twelve (12) months after the Facility Termination Date. The terms of each Letter of Credit may include customary “evergreen” provisions providing that such Letter of Credit’s expiry date shall automatically be extended for additional periods not to exceed twelve (12) months unless, not less than thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) (the “Notice Date”) prior to the applicable expiry date, the LC Bank delivers written notice to the beneficiary thereof declining such extension; provided, however, that if (x) any such extension would cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to occur after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Facility Termination Date determined pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof or (y) the LC Bank determines that any condition precedent to issuing such Letter of Credit hereunder are not satisfied (other than any such condition requiring the Borrower to submit a Borrowing Notice or Letter of Credit Application in respect thereof), then the LC Bank, in the case of clause (x) above, may (or at the written direction of any LC Participant, shall) or, in the case of clause (y) above, shall, use reasonable efforts in accordance with (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of such Letter of Credit to prevent the extension of such expiry date (including notifying the Borrower and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in writing prior to the Notice Date that such expiry date will not be so extended). Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, as determined by the LC Bank.

(c) Immediately upon the issuance by the LC Bank of any Letter of Credit (or any amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), the LC Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each LC Participant, and each LC Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the LC Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such LC Participant’s Ratable Share, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Ratable Shares of the LC Participants pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and unreimbursed drawings thereunder, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 1.12(c) to reflect the new Ratable Shares of the assignor and assignee LC Participant or of all LC Participants with Commitments, as the case may be. In the event that the LC Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the LC Bank pursuant to Section 1.14(a), each LC Participant shall be obligated to make Participation Advances with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.14(b).

Section 1.13 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Affiliate of the Borrower and the Servicer as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit.

Section 1.14 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a) In the event of any drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrator and the Borrower of such drawing. The Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the LC Bank not later than (i) if the Borrower shall have received such notice by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such drawing (each such date, a “Drawing Date”), 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Drawing Date and (ii) otherwise 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Drawing Date (the date on which the Borrower is obligated to perform a Reimbursement Obligation is referred to as a “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the LC Bank. Such Reimbursement Obligation shall be satisfied by the Borrower (i) first, by the remittance by the Administrator to the LC Bank of any available amounts denominated in the same currency as the Letter of Credit relating to such Reimbursement Obligation then on deposit in any LC Collateral Account, (ii) second, by the remittance by or on behalf of the Borrower to the LC Bank of any other funds of the Borrower then available for disbursement and (iii) third, by the remittance by the Administrator to the LC Bank of any available amounts then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account denominated in a currency other than the currency of the Letter of Credit relating to such Reimbursement Obligation; provided that at the time of such remittance, such amounts shall be converted to the currency of the Letter of Credit relating to such Reimbursement Obligation. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the applicable time on a Reimbursement Date (including because the conditions precedent to a Borrowing requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.2 shall not have been satisfied), the LC Bank will promptly notify each LC Participant thereof. Any notice given by the LC Bank pursuant to this Section 1.14 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate written confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such oral notice.

(b) Each LC Participant shall upon any notice pursuant to paragraph (a) above make available to the LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing (a “Participation Advance”), whereupon the LC Participants shall each be deemed to have made a Loan in that amount denominated in the same currency as the Letter of Credit relating to such Participation Amount. If any LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date in the applicable currency (or, if such Reimbursement Date is the Drawing Date, 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following such Reimbursement Date) (the date on which an LC Participant is obligated to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s Ratable Share is referred to as the “LC Participant Reimbursement Date”), then interest shall accrue on such LC Participant’s obligation to make such payment, from the LC Participant Reimbursement Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) during the first three (3) days following the LC Participant Reimbursement Date, at a rate per annum equal

to the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Base Rate on and after the fourth day following the LC Participant Reimbursement Date. The LC Bank will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the LC Participant Reimbursement Date, but failure of the LC Bank to give any such notice on the LC Participant Reimbursement Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on the LC Participant Reimbursement Date shall not relieve such LC Participant from its obligation under this paragraph (b), provided that such LC Participant shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from the LC Bank or the Administrator of the occurrence of the LC Participant Reimbursement Date. Each LC Participant’s Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder, (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Persons (other than the Borrower) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

Section 1.15 Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any LC Participant has made a Participation Advance to the LC Bank or (ii) in payment of Interest on the Loans made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, the LC Bank will pay to each LC Participant, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood, that the LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant.

(b) If the LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, Receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to the LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the LC Bank plus interest at the Overnight Bank Funding Rate from the date the payment was first made to such LC Participant through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such LC Participant.

(c) If any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn on the close of business on the Facility Termination Date, the LC Collateral Accounts shall be funded from Collections (or, in the Borrower’s sole discretion, by other funds available to the Borrower) in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit plus all related fees to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof, including any customary presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the LC Bank relating to letters of credit (such fees to accrue, as reasonably estimated by the LC Bank, the “LC Fee Expectation”).

Section 1.16 Documentation. The Borrower agrees to be bound by, and to cause any other Person on whose behalf a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder (including any “Account Party” or “Applicant” thereof) to comply with, and be bound by, the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of

Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, the LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. In addition to any other fees or expenses owing under the Fee Letter or any other Transaction Document or otherwise pursuant to any Letter of Credit Application, the Borrower shall pay to the LC Bank for its own account any customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the LC Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees shall be due and payable upon demand and shall be nonrefundable.

Section 1.17 Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

Section 1.18 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.

Each LC Participant’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I irrespective of the following circumstances:

(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such LC Participant may have against the LC Bank, the Administrator, the Group Agents, the Lenders, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Borrower, the LC Bank or any LC Participant against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower, the LC Bank or any LC Participant may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the LC Bank, any LC Participant, the

Administrator, any Lender or any Group Agent or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower, CB, the Servicer, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Administrator or the LC Bank has been notified thereof, provided in each case such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document appeared on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) payment by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Bank;

(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Borrower, unless the LC Bank has received written notice from the Borrower of such failure within three (3) Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished the Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix) any Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower, any Originator or any Affiliates thereof;

(x) any breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by any party thereto;

(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof;

(xii) the fact that an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii) the fact that (A) this Agreement or the obligations of the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder has terminated, (B) the Scheduled Termination Date has occurred or (C) such LC Participant has become an Exiting Lender; and

(xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, an LC Participant or the Borrower.

Section 1.19 [Reserved].

Section 1.20 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Group Agents and the Lenders, on the other, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, any beneficiary, “Applicant” or “Account Party” of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, none of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Group Agents or the Lenders shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank or any LC Participant shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Group Agents and the Lenders, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence or in Section 1.18 shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of the preceding sentence, in Section 1.18 or otherwise. In no event shall the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Group Agents or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Borrower or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Group Agents and the Lenders and each of their Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of

Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Group Agents or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower, any LC Participant or any other Person.

Section 1.21 [Reserved].

Section 1.22 [Reserved].

Section 1.23 Extension of Termination Date. From time to time, the Borrower may advise the Administrator and each Group Agent in writing of its desire to extend the then current Scheduled Termination Date to a date that is (x) not more than three hundred and sixty-four (364) days after such then current Scheduled Termination Date and (y) not later than the Facility Termination Date scheduled to occur pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof; provided such request is made not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to, and not less than ninety (90) days prior to, the then current Scheduled Termination Date. In the event that all the Lenders in any Group are agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Borrower in writing (it being understood that the Lenders may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then current Scheduled Termination Date and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Group Agents and the Lenders shall enter into such documents as the Lenders may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders, the Administrator and the Group Agents in connection therewith (including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs) shall be paid by the Borrower. If all the Lenders in at least one Group accept such request for extension but any Lender in any other Group declines the request for such extension (all such Lenders in Groups containing Lenders that decline such a request, “Exiting

Lenders”), then effective as of the Scheduled Termination Date (without giving effect to such requested extension):

(a) the Scheduled Termination Date shall be extended as agreed to by such accepting ▇▇▇▇▇▇(s);

(b) the Commitments of the Exiting Lenders shall terminate; and

(c) the Facility Limit shall be reduced by the amount of the Group Commitments of such Exiting Lender’s Group terminated pursuant to clause (b) above.

Section 1.24 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 1.7, Section 1.8 or Section 1.9, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 1.10, then such Affected Person will use all reasonable efforts to take such action as it deems appropriate to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation that would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Person.

(b) At any time there is more than one Group, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender (and the related Group) who has requested compensation under Section 1.7, Section 1.8 or Section 1.9, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 1.10, provided, however, that the Borrower shall be permitted to replace (i) the Group of which the Administrator is a member or (ii) any Lender which is administered by the Administrator or an Affiliate thereof only if, in either case, the Administrator is also replaced contemporaneously, pursuant to documents reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator; provided that (i) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Capital and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) the replacement financial institution, if not already a member of an existing Group, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator, (iii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts requested, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrator or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender or any member of its Group.

Section 1.25 [Reserved].

Section 1.26 Rate Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time:

(i) on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period, the Administrator shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) the Daily Resetting Term SOFR Rate applicable to a Loan cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, including, without limitation, because such rate is not

available or published on a current basis or (y) a fundamental change has occurred in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars with respect to such rate (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions), or

(ii) the Administrator determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Daily Resetting Term SOFR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(iii) on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period, any Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a Daily Resetting Term SOFR Rate Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that (A) deposits in U.S. Dollars are not available to any Lender in connection with such rate, or are not being offered to banks in the market for U.S. Dollars or for the applicable amount, and Interest Period of such rate, or (B) the Term Rate Loan Option for any Interest Period with respect to a proposed Daily Resetting Term SOFR Rate Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Loan,

then the Administrator shall have the rights specified in Section 1.26(c).

(b) Illegality. If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Governmental Authority shall have asserted, that the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which any SOFR applies, or the determination or charging of interest rates based upon SOFR has been made impracticable or unlawful, by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase, sell, or take deposits of any currency in the applicable interbank market for U.S. Dollars,

then the Administrator shall have the rights specified in Section 1.26(c).

(c) Administrator’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 1.26(a) above, the Administrator shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 1.26(b) above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrator and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrator shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower.

(i) Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrator, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Loan under the affected Interest Rate shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Rate, or the applicable Interest Periods) until the Administrator shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrator, of the Administrator’s or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.

(ii) If at any time the Administrator makes a determination under Section 1.26(a) (a) if the Borrower has previously notified the Administrator of its selection of or renewal of a an affected Interest Rate, and such Interest Rate has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for the selection of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, and (b) any outstanding affected Loans shall be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately.

(iii) If any Lender notifies the Administrator of a determination under Section 1.26(b), the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s obligation to pay Yield Protection Fees, as to any Loan of the Lender to which an affected Interest Rate applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to Base Rate Loans or prepay such Loan. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan upon such specified date.

(d) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (4) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrator has not received, by such time, written notice from Lenders comprising the Majority Group Agents of objection to such Benchmark Replacement.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrator may make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrator will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrator will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or

reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrator may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrator may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Loan bearing interest based on the Daily Resetting Term SOFR Rate, conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest based on such Interest Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Base Rate Loan of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(vi) Definitions. As used in this Section:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to

such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section.

“Benchmark” means, initially, the Daily Resetting Term SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first applicable alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrator for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) where the Benchmark is Daily Resetting Term SOFR, the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment; and

(2) [Intentionally Omitted];

(3) [Intentionally Omitted];

(4) the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrator and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in U.S. Dollars at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

provided, that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (4) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and provided further, that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement , the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected by the Administrator and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable currency at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Administrator, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any currency:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrator, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) a public statement or publication of information by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrator, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

Administrator announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for any currency for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section 1.26(d) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for such currency for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section 1.26(d) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS

Section 4.1 Appointment of the Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by each Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 4.1. Until the Administrator gives notice to the Servicer (in accordance with this Section 4.1) of the designation of a new servicer, CB is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer with respect to all Pool Receivables that were originated by an Originator in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) or shall (at the direction of the Majority Group Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed the Servicer or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so

designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of a Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Upon the designation of any successor Servicer as set forth in paragraph (a), the Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. In connection with such cooperation, the Servicer shall, upon request by the Administrator: (i) assemble all of the records (including all Contracts) reasonably necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security and transfer such records to the successor Servicer, except to the extent such transfer is prohibited by applicable law, (ii) except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, licenses or other agreement, transfer or license to the successor Servicer the use of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Lenders), at a place selected by the Administrator, and (iii) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.

(c) The Servicer acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and each member in each Group have relied on the Servicer’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, the Servicer agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer unless required to do so by applicable law; provided that the Servicer may, with the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Majority Group Agents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), resign as Servicer if (i) a successor Servicer which is an Affiliate of the Servicer has agreed to act as Servicer on the terms and conditions hereof and (ii) such successor Servicer has agreed to execute documentation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator, to effect its appointment as, and the assumption of the rights and duties of, the Servicer hereunder and under the Transaction Documents; provided, further, no such resignation will be effective until such successor Servicer has been appointed pursuant to such documentation and the successor Servicer pursuant to this paragraph shall not terminate the appointment of any Sub-Servicer.

(d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any sub-servicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided that in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrator and each Group shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer that is an Affiliate of the Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than any Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrator and the Majority Group Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

provided, further, that the Servicer may delegate the following duties and obligations to a Sub-Servicer without further consent by any party: (w) data processing, including customer care and billing, (x) customer acquisition and retention and market research, (y) inbound and outbound teleservices and (z) computer system maintenance, enhancement, machine processing and production support.

(e) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (i) solely to the extent that such event is also a Servicer Default, assemble all of the records reasonably necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, licenses or other agreement, the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Lenders), except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, licenses or other agreement, at a place selected by the Administrator, and (ii) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall have the effect of making the Servicer liable for any obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the giving of a guarantee or the assumption of a similar obligation by the Servicer in respect of the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Section 4.2 Duties of the Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance in all material respects with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall set aside for the accounts of the Borrower and the Lenders the amount of Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article I hereof. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including extensions, amendments, modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and the related Contracts, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments permitted under the Credit and Collection Policies; provided, however, that: (i) such action shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, and (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable under this Agreement. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrator (individually and for the benefit of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective interests), all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable.

(b) [Reserved].

After such termination, if the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Borrower all books, records and related materials that the Borrower previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

Section 4.3 Lock-Box Account Arrangements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have entered into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and delivered counterparts of each to the Administrator. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) or shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive control of the Lock-Box Accounts transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Lenders) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein and (b) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Administrator hereby agrees that it shall not give such notice or exercise such rights with respect to any such Lock-Box Account unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Borrower hereby agrees that if the Administrator gives notice (after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) to a Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the related Lock-Box Agreement pursuant to clause (a) above, the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Lenders) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Borrower hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator or any Group Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Borrower or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Administrator has taken control of any Lock-Box Account pursuant to this Section 4.3, all proceeds (including Collections) of Pool Receivables shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 1.4(a). The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account, the Administrator shall not have any rights to (a) the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts then due and payable to the Administrator, any member of any Group, any Secured Party or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder) or (b) any Non-Receivable Cash Deposits therein, and the Administrator shall transfer any such Non-Receivable Cash Deposits to an account designated by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) within three (3) Business Days of the Administrator’s receipt of a written request by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf), together with a Non-Receivable Cash Deposit Report which identifies the amount of such Non-Receivable Cash Deposits.

Section 4.4 Enforcement Rights.

(a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default set forth in clause (a)(ii) or paragraphs (f) or (i) of Exhibit V of this Agreement, the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee. The exercise of this right will be subject to any applicable regulatory restrictions. The Servicer agrees that, if the

Administrator is unable to exercise the rights in this paragraph (a) due to any applicable regulatory restrictions, it will, subject to any applicable regulatory restrictions, follow the instructions of the Administrator in connection therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts received by the Administrator or its designee pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 1.4(a).

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Borrower and on behalf of the Borrower reasonably necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Borrower on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

Section 4.5 Responsibilities of the Borrower.

(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables, and the exercise by the Administrator, any Group Agent or any Lender of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Administrator, the Group Agents or the Lenders shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower, the Servicer, CB or any Originators thereunder.

(b) The Servicer hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be a Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if such then-current Servicer so requests) as the data processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, the Servicer shall conduct the data processing functions of the administration of the Pool Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that the Servicer conducted such data processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.

Section 4.6 Servicing Fee.

(a) Subject to paragraph (b), CB shall be paid a fee equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables (the “Servicing Fee”). Such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(a).

(b) If CB ceases to be a Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, the Servicing Fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and

expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

The Administrator shall not be responsible to any Lender, Group Agent or other Person for (i) any recitals, representations, warranties or other statements made by the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator or any of their Affiliates, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (iii) any failure of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator or any of their Affiliates to perform any obligation hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party (or under any Contract), or (iv) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Exhibit II. The Administrator shall not have any obligation to any Lender or Group Agent to ascertain or inquire about the observance or performance of any agreement contained in any Transaction Document or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 5.4 Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each Group Agent and the Administrator shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or other writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrator. Each Group Agent and the Administrator shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Group Agents (or in the case of any Group Agent, the Lenders within its Group that have a majority of the aggregate Commitment of such Group), and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Administrator shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Group Agents or the Group Agents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders, the Administrator and Group Agents.

(d) Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Group Agent or by any Lender on whose behalf such Group Agent is purportedly acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Group Agent is acting for the benefit of each of the Lenders in respect of which such Group Agent is identified as being the “Group Agent” in the definition of “Group Agent” hereto, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person, and (ii) each action taken by such Group Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Lenders on whose behalf it is purportedly acting. Each Group Agent and its Lender(s) shall agree amongst themselves as to the circumstances and procedures for removal, resignation and replacement of such Group Agent.

Section 5.5 Notice of Events of Default. Neither any Group Agent nor the Administrator shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless such Administrator has received notice from any Lender, Group Agent, the Servicer or the Borrower stating that an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred hereunder and describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default. In the event that the Administrator receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Group Agent whereupon each such Group Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its related Lenders. In the event that a Group Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Administrator), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrator. The Administrator shall take such action concerning an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default as may be directed by the Majority Group Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Lenders), but until the Administrator receives such directions, the Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrator deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders and the Group Agents.

Section 5.6 Non-Reliance on Administrator, Group Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Group Agent expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrator, the Group Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrator, or any Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, CB, the Servicer or any Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrator or such Group Agent, as applicable. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Administrator and the Group Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrator, the LC Bank, Group Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower, CB, the Servicer or any Originator, and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under

any Transaction Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrator shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Group Agent with any information concerning the Borrower, CB, the Servicer or any Originators or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrator or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 5.7 Administrators and Affiliates. Each of the Lenders, the Group Agents and the Administrator and any of their respective Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, entity or other business with the Borrower, CB, the Servicer or any Originator or any of their Affiliates. With respect to any funding of the Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Group Agents and the Administrator shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include, to the extent applicable, each of the Group Agents and the Administrator in their individual capacities.

Section 5.8 Indemnification. Each LC Participant and Related Committed ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator (but solely in its capacity as Administrator) and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents and the LC Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower, the Servicer, or any Originator to do so), ratably (based on respective Group Commitments) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator or the LC Bank or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each LC Participant agrees to reimburse the Administrator and the LC Bank, ratably according to their ratable shares (based on respective Group Commitments), promptly upon demand, for any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrator or the LC Bank in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement.

Section 5.9 Successor Administrator. The Administrator may, upon at least five (5) days’ notice to the Borrower, each Lender and Group Agent, resign as Administrator. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Administrator is appointed by the Majority Group Agents and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrator hereunder by a successor Administrator, such successor Administrator shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrator, and the retiring Administrator shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction

Documents. After any retiring Administrator’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Article V shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator.

Section 5.10 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrator notifies such Lender that the Administrator has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrator or any of its Affiliates were erroneously 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), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrator 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 Administrator in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) 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 Administrator for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrator to any Lender 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 an Erroneous Payment from the Administrator (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrator (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Lender further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrator of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrator, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrator the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrator in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The Borrower and Servicer hereby agree that (i) 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, the Administrator shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay,

discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrower, Servicer or any Affiliate thereof.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrator or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 6.1 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or consent to any departure by the Borrower or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrator and the Majority Group Agents, and, in the case of any amendment, by the other parties thereto; and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Lender, (A) extend the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Borrower or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Interest, (C) reduce any fees payable to the Administrator, any Group Agent or any Lender pursuant to the applicable Group Fee Letter, (D) change the amount of Capital of any Lender or any Related Committed Lender’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of “Majority Group Agents” or this Section 6.1, (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Net Receivables Pool Balance”, “Dilution Reserve”, “Dilution Reserve Percentage”, “Eligible Receivable”, “Event of Default”, “Loss Reserve”, “Loss Reserve Percentage”, “Net Receivables Pool Balance”, or “Ratable Share”, (H) release all or any material part of the Pool Assets from the security interest granted by the Borrower to the Administrator hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, (I) amend the priority of payments set forth in Section 1.4(a) or (J) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (I) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses. No failure on the part of the Lenders, the Group Agents or the Administrator to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the Structuring Agent shall not be required for any amendment or waiver unless such amendment or waiver materially and adversely affects the interests of the Structuring Agent or materially increases its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including email communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by email or by overnight mail, to the intended party at the mailing address or email address of such party set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof (or in any other document or agreement pursuant to which it is or became a party hereto), or at such other mailing address or email address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be effective (i) if delivered by

overnight mail, when received, and (ii) if transmitted by email, when sent, receipt confirmed by telephone or electronic means.

Section 6.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) neither the Borrower nor Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Administrator, the LC Bank and the Group Agents and (ii) the Administrator shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default or Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing. The Administrator, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a record of any assignment by any Lender of right or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document 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 Administrator 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) Participations. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Lender may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no Lender shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Lender shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower, each Group Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Lender shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to agree to any amendment hereto. 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 Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under 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 Administrator (in its capacity as Administrator) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) Assignments by Certain Related Committed Lenders. Any Related Committed Lender may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Related Committed Lender”), reasonably acceptable to each of the Administrator, the LC Bank and the related Group Agent in its sole discretion, any portion of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related Committed Lender, such selling Related Committed Lender, such related Group Agent and the Administrator if the Borrower shall have given its prior written consent thereto; provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default or Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing. Any such assignment by Related Committed Lender cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Borrower, such related Group Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Lender to the selling Related Committed Lender of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Related Committed Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Lender shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Lender party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Lender hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Lender allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Lender shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Lender transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed Lender as a “Related Committed Lender” and a “Related LC Participant” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Lender’s Commitment and, if applicable, selling Related LC Participant’s Ratable Share of the LC Participation Amount.

(d) Assignments to Liquidity Providers and other Program Support Providers. Any Conduit Lender may at any time grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Program Support Providers, participating interests in its portion of the Loan. In the event of any such grant by such Conduit Lender of a participating interest to a Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, such Conduit Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Other Assignment by Conduit Lenders. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Loan (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Lender of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person within such Conduit ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Group, and upon such assignment such Conduit Lender shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, however, that such Conduit Lender may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Lenders, make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) is principally engaged in the funding of loans similar to loan being funded hereunder, (ii) has as its Group Agent the Group Agent of the

assigning Conduit Lender and (iii) issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Lender; provided, further, that such Conduit Lender may not make any assignment of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person who is not a member of an existing Group without the prior consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and not required if an Event of Default or Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing). Any assigning Conduit Lender shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Lender, assigning any portion of its interest in the Loan to its assignee. Such Conduit Lender shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Loan and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Lender hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Loan, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Interest therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Lender unless the Borrower, the related Group Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Interest).

(f) Certain Pledges. Without limiting the right of any Lender to sell or grant interests, security interests or participations to any Person as otherwise described in this Section 6.3, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure its obligations as a Lender hereunder, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Opinions of Counsel. If required by the Administrator or the applicable Group Agent or to maintain the ratings of the Notes of any Conduit Lender, each Transfer Supplement must be accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the assignee as to such matters as the Administrator or such Group Agent may reasonably request.

Section 6.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

(a) By way of clarification, and not of limitation, of Sections 1.7 or 3.1, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrator, each Group Agent and each Lender on demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (excluding Taxes other than Other Taxes) in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including amendments or waivers of any provision) of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the perfection (and continuation) of the Administrator’s rights in the Pool Receivables, Collections and other Pool Assets, (iii) the enforcement by the Administrator, any Group Agent or any member of any Group of the obligations of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Originators under the Transaction Documents or of any Obligor under a Receivable and (iv) the maintenance by the Administrator of the Lock-Box Accounts (and any related lock-box or post office box), including reasonable fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses of external legal counsel for the Administrator and any member of any Group relating to any of the foregoing or to advising the Administrator, any member of any Group, any related Liquidity Provider or any other related Program Support Provider about its rights and remedies under any Transaction Document or any other document, agreement or instrument related thereto and all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including

reasonable external counsel fees and expenses) of the Administrator, each Group Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement or administration of the Transaction Documents or any other document, agreement or instrument related thereto. Administrator and each member of each Group agree, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing all of such entities will be represented by a single law firm. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrator and each Group Agent for the cost of such Person’s external auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of the Borrower or the Servicer. The Borrower shall reimburse each Conduit Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and out of pocket expenses incurred by such Conduit Lender in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including certain costs related to the Rating Agencies and reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of external counsel of the Administrator and each member of any Group for advice relating to such Conduit ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s operation in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay on demand any and all stamp and Other Taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each Indemnified Party and Affected Person harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such Taxes and fees.

Section 6.5 No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments.

(a) The Borrower, CB, the Servicer, the Administrator, the LC Bank, the Group Agents, the Lenders, each assignee of the Loan or any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to fund the Loans or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one (1) day after the latest maturing Note issued by such Conduit Lender is paid in full. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender shall or shall be obligated to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay the Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Lender could issue Notes to refinance all outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Lender’s securitization program or (y) all Notes are paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Lender for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.11 Sharing of Recoveries. Each Lender agrees that if it receives any recovery, through set-off, judicial action or otherwise, on any amount payable or recoverable hereunder in a greater proportion than should have been received hereunder or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions hereof, then the recipient of such recovery shall purchase for cash an interest in amounts owing to the other Lenders, without representation or warranty except for the representation and warranty that such interest is being sold by each such other Lender free and clear of any Adverse Claim created or granted by such other Lender, in the amount necessary to create proportional participation by the Lender in such recovery.
