Unless otherwise provided herein, the Notice of Borrowing may not be revoked; provided, that the only consequence for the failure of the Borrower to borrow the Loan on the Closing Date shall be its obligation to pay Breakage Costs as provided in Section 2.12(A).

Section II.11.Inability to Determine Rates.

(A) Subject to Section 2.11(C), if:

(i)the Facility Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Compounded SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii)the Majority Lenders determine (in their sole discretion) that for any reason that a continuation of the Loan at Daily Compounded SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining the Loan, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

(B) Subject to Section 2.11(C), upon delivery of a notice by Facility Agent to the Borrower under Section 2.11(A), the Loan shall accrue interest at the Base Rate.

(i)If a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) 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 (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of

any Benchmark setting at or after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth 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 Facility Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Majority Lenders.

(ii)In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Facility Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with the Borrower 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)The Facility Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (1) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (2) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Facility Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Facility Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11(C), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11(C).

(iv)Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Loan shall accrue interest at the Base Rate for the Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(v)None of the Paying Agent, Collateral Agent or Custodian shall be (1) responsible for making any decisions or determinations in connection with any Benchmark Replacement, Conforming Changes or other matters under this Section 2.11(C), or (2) have any liability for any determination, decision or election made by or on behalf of the Facility Agent (or other similar role) or the Borrower in connection with any Benchmark Replacement or Conforming Changes. The Facility Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to waive and release any and all claims against the Paying Agent, Collateral Agent or Custodian relating to any such determination, decision or election by the Facility Agent.

(D) If any Lender determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund its portion of the Loan by reference to Daily Compounded

SOFR or SOFR or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily Compounded SOFR or SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Facility Agent), upon demand from such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent), the portion of the Loan held by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall accrue interest at the Base Rate until such Lender notifies Facility Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. The affected Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its portion of the Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would allow it to lawfully make or maintain its portion of the Loan and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.

Section II.12.Breakage Costs; Liquidation Fees; Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality; Additional Indemnifications.

(A)Breakage Costs and Liquidation Fees. (i) If (x) the Loan is not made on the date specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing (or deemed specified pursuant to Section 2.4(A)) for any reason other than default by one or more Lenders, the Borrower agrees to pay applicable Breakage Costs, if any, with respect thereto and (y) the Loan (other than if the Loan is currently bearing interest at the Base Rate) is repaid on a date prior to the last day of any Interest Accrual Period, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Liquidation Fees associated with such repayment. The Borrower shall not be responsible for any Liquidation Fees or any other loss, cost, or expenses arising at the time of, and arising solely as a result of, any assignment made pursuant to Section 10.8 and the reallocation of any portion of the Loan of the applicable Lender making such assignment. Except for any Liquidation Fees, all payments and prepayments hereunder shall be made without any penalty or premium.

(B)Increased Costs. If any Change in Law (a) shall subject any Lender, the Facility Agent, or any Affiliate thereof (each of which, an “Affected Party”) to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party, or (c) shall impose any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting the Collateral or the rights of any Lender and the Facility Agent hereunder, the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party under this Agreement or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, then within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate pursuant to Section 2.12(E)), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction

suffered to the extent such additional or increased costs or reduction are incurred or suffered in connection with the Collateral, any obligation to make the Loan hereunder, any of the rights of such Lender, or the Facility Agent hereunder, or any payment made hereunder in accordance with Section 2.7(B); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.12(B) for any additional or increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(C)Capital Adequacy. If any Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate pursuant to Section 2.12(E)), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction in accordance with Section 2.7(B); provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.12(C) for any amounts or additional amounts incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(D)Compensation. If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Section 2.12(A), 2.12(B) or 2.12(C), any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of the Loan hereunder, then within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate pursuant to Section 2.12(E)), the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts paid by it; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.12(D) for any amounts or additional amounts incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(E)In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.12 or Section 2.17, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.12 shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to the basis for such additional or increased cost or reduction and the basis for its calculation, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(F)If the Borrower is required to pay amounts under Section 2.12(B), (C) or (D) or Section 2.17, then the applicable Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (x) file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would avoid or minimize any additional costs, taxes, expense or obligation which would otherwise be imposed on the Borrower pursuant to such Sections; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to take any such action that, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, would adversely affect the making, issuing, funding or maintaining its Lender Percentage of the Loan or the interests of such Lender; provided, further, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on any Lender of any additional costs or expenses, unless the Borrower agrees to pay such additional costs and expenses.

(G)(i) If the Borrower incurs any liability, or is required to make a payment to, to a Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender under Section 2.12(B), (C) or (D) or Section 2.17, then the Borrower, at its sole expense may, upon notice to such Lender and the Facility Agent, require such Lender subject to this Section 2.12(G) to assign and delegate, without recourse, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Loan to an assignee that shall assume all those rights and obligations; provided, however, that (w) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having valid jurisdiction, (x) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (y) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the replaced Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loan of such Lender plus all fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto, and (z) the Borrower shall have paid to the Facility Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.8(A).

(i)A Lender subject to this Section 2.12(G) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if (A) prior to any such assignment and delegation the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply, (B) such Lender shall waive its right to claim compensation or payment under Section 2.12 or Section 2.17, if applicable, or (C) any Potential Default, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event then exists.

(i)Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.12(G) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption

executed by the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the assignee and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party to such Assignment and Assumption in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(ii)Section 2.12(G) shall not apply to Banco Santander S.A., New York Branch and its Affiliates so long as Banco Santander S.A., New York Branch and its Affiliates constitute the Majority Lenders.

Section II.13.Payments and Computations. (A) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower), free and clear of and without condition or deduction (other than with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17) for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Borrower (through the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(B) and as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) shall make each payment and prepayment in respect of principal, interest, expenses, indemnities, fees or other Company Obligations due from the Borrower not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the Paying Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.3 or to such account provided by the Paying Agent in immediately available, same-day funds. Payments on Company Obligations may also be made by application of funds in the Collection Account as provided in Section 2.7(B). All computations of interest for the Loan while the Loan bears interest at the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder (including all computations of interest for the Loan while the Loan bear interest at the Benchmark) shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Facility Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent there are insufficient funds in the Collection Account, to make any payment under this clause (A) when due, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Paying Agent all amounts due that remain unpaid.

(A)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Paying Agent its Lender Percentage of the Loan as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Paying Agent because the conditions to the Loan set forth in Article III are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Paying Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(B)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make the Loan, and to make payments pursuant to Section 2.2 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make its Lender Percentage of the Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Lender Percentage of the Loan, or to make its payment under Section 10.5(B).

(C)Funding Source. Subject to Applicable Law, nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its Lender Percentage of the Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Lender Percentage of the Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section II.14.Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Loan shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.

Section II.15.[Reserved].

Section II.16.[Reserved].

Section II.17.Taxes.

(A)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17 the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(B)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(C)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Facility Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(D)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under

this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(E)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Facility Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Facility Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 10.8(D), and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Facility Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Facility Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(F)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent.

(G)Status of Recipients. (i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent as will enable the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(i)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(a)any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient

becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(b)any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

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

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

(c)any Recipient which is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(d)if a payment made to a Recipient under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Paying Agent or the Facility Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’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.

Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(H)[Reserved.]

(I)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (I) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such

Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (I), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (I) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(J)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Facility Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

Section II.18.Pro Rata Treatment Amongst Lenders.

Except as otherwise provided herein each borrowing, each payment of principal or interest on the Loan and each payment of fees contemplated hereunder shall be made or shared among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Lender Percentages. Each Lender agrees that in computing each Lender’s Lender Percentage, the Borrower may (with the consent of the Facility Agent) round each Lender’s percentage of such Loan out to 9 decimal places.

Article IV

Representations and Warranties

Section IV.1.Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Facility Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent as of the Closing Date, as follows:

(A)Organization; Corporate Powers. Each Spruce Party (i) is a duly organized and validly existing limited liability company or corporation, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (ii) has the limited liability company power or corporate power, as the case may be, and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage, and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified or authorized except (with respect to this clause (iii) only) where the failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(B)Authority and Enforceability. Each Spruce Party has the limited liability company or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary company or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is party. Each Spruce Party has duly executed and delivered each Transaction Document to which it is party and each such Transaction Document to which it is party constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of such Spruce Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

(C)Government Approvals. No order, consent, authorization, approval, license, or validation of, or filing recording, registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize or is required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by a Spruce Party of any Transaction Document to which it is a party or any of its obligations thereunder or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Transaction Document to which such Spruce Party is a party.

(D)Litigation. There are no ongoing actions, suits or proceedings, pending or threatened in writing with respect to any Spruce Party which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(E)Applicable Law, Contractual Obligations and Organizational Documents. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by any Spruce Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is party nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof (i) except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, will contravene any provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Spruce Party or its properties and assets, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the terms of any other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is bound or by which the Borrower or any of its properties may be bound or affected, including the Transaction Documents, (iii) result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower, or (iv) will breach any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Spruce Party.

(F)Compliance with Law. Each Spruce Party has complied with all applicable Laws, including consumer protection laws, in each case, except for such noncompliance as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(G)Use of Proceeds. Proceeds of the Loan have been used only as permitted under Section 2.3. No part of the proceeds of the Loan have been used directly or indirectly to purchase or carry Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of any of the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Borrower is not engaged in the business

of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

(H)Paying Agent Accounts. The account numbers of the Paying Agent Accounts and the Lockbox Account are specified on Schedule II attached hereto, as updated pursuant to Section 5.1(V). Other than accounts on Schedule II attached hereto, as updated pursuant to Section 5.1(V), the Borrower does not have any other accounts. The Borrower has directed the Servicer to cause (i) all Host Customers to make all Host Customer Payments directly to the Lockbox Account, (ii) the Lessee to make all Sale Leaseback Payments directly to the Collection Account, and (iii) Hedged SREC Counterparties to make Hedged SREC Payments directly to the Collection Account.

(I)ERISA.

Article VII

The Facility Agent

Section VII.1.Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Facility Agent is appointed by the Lenders (and by each Hedge Counterparty by execution of a Hedge Counterparty Joinder, if applicable) as the Facility Agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and each of the Lenders and each Hedge Counterparty irrevocably authorizes the Facility Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender and such Hedge Counterparty with the rights

and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents. The Facility Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Facility Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Facility Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender or any Hedge Counterparty by reason of this Agreement and that the Facility Agent is merely acting as the representative of the Lenders and each Hedge Counterparty with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ and each Hedge Counterparty’s contractual representative, the Facility Agent (A) does not assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders or any Hedge Counterparty, (B) is a “representative” of the Lenders and each Hedge Counterparty within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York, and (C) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each of the Lenders and each Hedge Counterparty agree to assert no claim against the Facility Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender and each Hedge Counterparty waives.

Section VII.2.Powers. The Facility Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Transaction Documents as are specifically delegated to the Facility Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Facility Agent shall have no implied duties or fiduciary duties to the Lenders or to any Hedge Counterparty, or any obligation to the Lenders or any Hedge Counterparty to take any action hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents except any action specifically provided by the Transaction Documents required to be taken by the Facility Agent.

Section VII.3.General Immunity; Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Facility Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders, or any Hedge Counterparty for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. The Facility Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Facility Agent:

(A)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default, an Event of Default, or an Early Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing;

(B)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Facility Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other

Transaction Documents), provided that the Facility Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Facility Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law;

(C)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Facility Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and

(D)shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default, Event of Default, or Early Amortization Event unless and until notice describing such is given to the Facility Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

Section VII.4.No Responsibility for Loan, Creditworthiness, Collateral, Recitals, Etc. Neither the Facility Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Transaction Document or any borrowing hereunder, (B) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Transaction Document, (C) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Facility Agent, (D) the existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, or (E) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Transaction Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Facility Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or any Hedge Counterparty for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, for the perfection or priority of any of the Liens on any of the Collateral, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations, the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

Section VII.5.Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Facility Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Transaction Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Loan Notes. The Facility Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Transaction Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section VII.6.Employment of Agents and Counsel; Delegation of Duties. The Facility Agent may execute any of its duties as the Facility Agent hereunder and under any other Transaction Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact. The Facility Agent and any such employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact may perform any and all of its

duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VII shall apply to any such employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and to the Related Parties of the Facility Agent and any such employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Facility Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact. The Facility Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Facility Agent and the Lenders or any Hedge Counterparty and all matters pertaining to the Facility Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Transaction Document.

Section VII.7.Reliance by Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Facility Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Facility Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Facility Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Transaction Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section VII.8.The Facility Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify (on a pro rata basis based on the Lender Percentages) the Facility Agent (A) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Facility Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Transaction Documents, (B) for any other expenses incurred by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Transaction Documents, and (C) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Facility Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Facility Agent.

Section VII.9.Rights as a Lender. With respect to the portion of the Loan made by it and the Loan Notes (if any) issued to it, in its capacity as a Lender, the Facility Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Transaction Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Facility Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders,” as applicable, shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Facility Agent in its individual capacity. The Facility Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which such Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.

Section VII.10.Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section VII.11.Resignation and Removal of Facility Agent; Successor Facility Agent.

(A) The Facility Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, each Hedge Counterparty, the Custodian, the Collateral Agent, and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Facility Agent. If no successor Facility Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the exiting Facility Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the exiting Facility Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Facility Agent (but only if such successor is reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders) or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Facility Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor has been appointed in accordance with this Section 7.11(A) (“Resignation Effective Date”).

(B) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring or removed Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Facility Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Facility Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Facility Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Facility Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Facility Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.17(G) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the

retiring or removed Facility Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date, and the retiring or removed Facility Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 7.11). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Facility Agent, if any, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor (if any) unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Facility Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Sections 10.5 and 10.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Facility Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Facility Agent was acting as Facility Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Facility Agent.

Section VII.12.Transaction Documents; Further Assurances. Each Lender and each Hedge Counterparty authorizes the Facility Agent to enter into each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and each Lender and each Hedge Counterparty authorizes the Facility Agent to take all action contemplated by such documents in its capacity as Facility Agent. Each Lender and each Hedge Counterparty agrees that no Lender and no Hedge Counterparty, respectively, shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Transaction Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and each Hedge Counterparty upon the terms of the Transaction Documents.

Section VII.13.Facility Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Facility Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Facility Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Facility Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Facility Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Facility Agent under Sections 2.5, 10.5 and 10.6 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Facility Agent and, if the Facility Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Facility Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Facility Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Facility Agent under Sections 2.5, 10.5 and 10.6.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Facility Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Facility Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Facility Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Spruce Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Facility Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Facility Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Facility Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Majority Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 10.2(A) of this Agreement), (iii) the Facility Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Section VII.14.Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.13, each of the Lenders, irrevocably authorizes the Facility Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to cause the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held

by the Collateral Agent under any Transaction Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) contingent obligations not then due and (y) obligations and liabilities under Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Hedge Counterparty shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, (iii) that constitutes “Excluded Collateral,” or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.2.

Upon request by the Facility Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Facility Agent’s authority to cause the Collateral Agent to release its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this Section 7.14, the Facility Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, cause the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and this Section 7.14.

The Facility Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Spruce Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Facility Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section VII.15.Hedge Agreements. No Hedge Counterparty that obtains the benefits of any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII to the contrary, the Facility Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Hedge Agreements unless the Facility Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Facility Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be.

(iii) The Paying Agent and the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, hereby confirm and agree that:

(d) each Paying Agent Account is an account to which financial assets are or may be credited, and the Paying Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Borrower as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to each such Paying Agent Account; and

(e) notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, to the extent that any Paying Agent Account shall be determined to constitute a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC, such Paying Agent Account shall be subject to the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Paying Agent shall be required to comply with instructions originated by the Securities Intermediary (acting at the written direction of the Facility Agent) directing disposition of the funds in such Paying Agent Account, without further consent by the Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent hereby authorizes the Paying Agent to honor withdrawal, payment, transfer or other instructions directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account received from the Borrower or the Servicer, on its behalf, pursuant to Section 2.7 or this Section 8.2.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the financial assets, funds, cash or other property credited to any Paying Agent Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (except for (i) all amounts due in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Paying Agent Accounts, and (ii) the face amount of any checks that have been credited to the Paying Agent Accounts but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(vii) Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the “security intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC).

(viii) If, at any time, the Account Bank resigns, is removed or ceases to meet the eligibility requirements of an Eligible Institution, the Borrower, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, shall within thirty (30) days establish a new Collection Account and Liquidity Reserve Account meeting the conditions specified above with an Eligible Institution reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent and transfer any cash and/or any investments held therein or with respect thereto to such new Collection Account and Liquidity Reserve Account, as applicable.

(F)Permitted Investments. Prior to an Event of Default, the Servicer (and after an Event of Default, the Facility Agent) may direct each banking institution at which the Collection Account or the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be established, in writing, to invest the funds held in such accounts in one or more Permitted Investments. Absent such written direction, such funds shall remain uninvested. All investments of funds on deposit in the Collection Account or the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be uninvested so that such funds will be available on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the funds are to be disbursed from such account, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein. All interest derived from such Permitted Investments shall be deemed to be “investment proceeds” and shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the Liquidity Reserve Account, as applicable, to be distributed in accordance with the requirements hereof. The taxpayer identification number associated with the Collection Account and the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be that of the Borrower, and the

Borrower shall report for federal, state and local income tax purposes the income, if any, earned on funds in such accounts.

(A)If the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent notifies a Lender or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party (any such Lender, other Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (B)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Facility Agent, the Paying Agent or any of their respective Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, and such Lender or other Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, 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 Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Facility Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (A) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(B)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (A), each Lender, each other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent (or any of their respective Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Borrower, the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent (or any of their respective Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Borrower, the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent (or any of their respective Affiliates), or

(z) that such Lender or other Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(a) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent to the contrary) or (b) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender or other Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Facility Agent and the Paying Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Facility Agent and the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 8.5(B).

(C)Each Lender and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Facility Agent and the Paying Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or other Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent to such Lender or other Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, under immediately preceding clause (A) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(D)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, for any reason, after demand therefor by the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, in accordance with immediately preceding clause (A), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Facility Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned the portion of the Loan owned by it (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Loan”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Facility Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loan (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loan, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Facility Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Loan Notes held by it evidencing the Loan to the Borrower or the Facility Agent, as applicable, (ii) the Facility Agent, as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Facility Agent, as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the

avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Facility Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loan subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Facility Agent may, in its discretion, sell any portion of the Loan acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such portion, and the Facility Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Facility Agent has sold the Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Facility Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Facility Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or other Secured Party under the Transaction Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Borrower’s Obligations under the Transaction Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of the Loan or any portion thereof that has been assigned to the Facility Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment).

(E)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Spruce Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent from the Borrower or any other Spruce Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(F)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(G)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Facility Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

(A)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.5 to the contrary, the Paying Agent shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect to determining any Erroneous Payments or enforcing the return of, or any other remedies related to, any Erroneous Payments.

The Paying Agent shall make payments to any Lender or other Secured Party in accordance with the Quarterly Servicer Report or such other written direction as is provided to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(C) Neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, unless it shall be conclusively determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction not subject to appeal or review that the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, was grossly negligent or acted with willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(D) Neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with any direction given or certificate or other document delivered to the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(F) The Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent may each conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and shall be under no obligation to inquire as to the adequacy, content, accuracy or sufficiency of any such information or be under any obligation to make any calculation (or re-calculation), certification, or verification in respect of any such information and shall not be liable for any loss that may be occasioned thereby.

(G) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter may, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate delivered to the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be full warrant to the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(H) The Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent, at the expense of the Borrower, may each consult with counsel, and the advice or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel; provided however that such costs of counsel are reasonable and documented. Before the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting hereunder, it may require and shall be entitled to receive an officer’s certificate and/or an opinion of counsel. Neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such officer’s certificate or opinion of counsel.

(I) Neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,

In no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Paying Agent shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of another party to timely provide a written investment direction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Investments in any Permitted Investments are not obligations or recommendations of, or endorsed or guaranteed by, the Paying Agent or its Affiliates. The Paying Agent and its Affiliates may provide various services for Permitted Investments and may be paid fees for such services. Each party hereto understands and agrees that proceeds of the sale of investments of the funds in any account maintained by the Paying Agent will be deposited by the Paying Agent into the applicable accounts on the Business Day on which the Paying Agent receives appropriate instructions hereunder, if such instructions received by the Paying Agent prior to the deadline for same day sale of such investments. If the Paying Agent receives such instructions after the applicable deadline for the sale of such investments, such proceeds will be deposited by the Paying Agent into the applicable account on the next succeeding Business Day. The parties hereto agree that notifications after the completion of purchases and sales of investments shall not be provided by the Paying Agent hereunder, and the Paying Agent shall make available, upon request and in lieu of notifications, periodic account statements that reflect such investment activity. No statement shall be made available if no investment activity has occurred during such period.

(K) Each of the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, affiliates, custodians or nominees appointed with due care, and shall not be responsible for any action or omission on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee so appointed.

(L) Any corporation or entity into which the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Paying Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be the successor of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(M) In no event shall the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent be liable for punitive, special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(N) In no event shall the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any related documents because of circumstances beyond the Paying Agent’s or the Collateral Agent's control, including a failure, termination, or suspension of a clearing house, securities depositary, settlement system or central payment system in any applicable part of the world or acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), civil or military disturbances or hostilities, nuclear or natural catastrophes, political unrest, explosion, severe weather or accident, earthquake, terrorism, fire, riot, labor disturbances, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like (whether domestic, federal, state, county or municipal or foreign), disease, epidemic or pandemic, quarantine, national emergency, utility failure, malware or ransomware attack, which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any related documents, or the unavailability of communications or computer facilities, the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility, or any other causes beyond the Paying Agent’s or the Collateral Agent's control whether or not of the same class or kind as specified above. The Paying Agent and Collateral Agent further agree that they shall give prompt notice (including a reasonable description of such force majeure event) to the other related parties hereto upon the Paying Agent and Collateral Agent having notice or knowledge of such force majeure event and use its best efforts to resume performance as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.

(O) Knowledge of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent shall not be attributed or imputed to Computershare’s other roles in the transaction and knowledge of Computershare in such other roles shall not be attributed or imputed to each other or to the Custodian (other than those where the roles are performed by the same group or division within Computershare or otherwise share the same Responsible Officers), or any affiliate, line of business, or other division of Computershare (and vice versa).

(P) The right of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent to perform any permissive or discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not be construed as a duty.

(Q) Absent gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (in each case as conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final order or verdict not subject to appeal) on the part of Computershare in acting in each of its capacities under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents, such service shall not constitute impermissible self-dealing or a conflict of interest, and the parties hereto hereby waive any conflict of interest presented by such service. Computershare

may act as agent for, provide banking, custodial, collateral agency, verification and other services to, and generally engage in any kind of business, with others to the same extent as if Computershare were not a party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall in any way be deemed to restrict the right of Computershare to perform such services for any other person or entity, and the performance of such services for others will not, in and of itself, be deemed to violate or give rise to any duty or obligation to any party hereto not specifically undertaken by Computershare hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

(R) Neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document other than for the Paying Agent’s or the Collateral Agent's compensation.

(S) Neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of, or be required to act based on, any event or information (including any Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or any other default and including the sending of any notice) unless a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge or shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of such actual knowledge or receipt of such notice, the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent may conclusively assume that none of such events have occurred and the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or duty to determine whether any Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or any other default has occurred. The delivery or availability of reports or other documents to the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent (including publicly available reports or documents) shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of information contained in or determinable from those reports or documents, except for such information provided to be delivered under this Agreement to the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent and which the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent is contractually obligated to review; and knowledge or information acquired by any Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent in any of their respective capacities hereunder or under any other document related to this transaction, provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Person acting as Paying Agent or as Collateral Agent, as applicable, from its obligations to perform or responsibility for the manner of performance of its duties in a separate capacity under the Transaction Documents.

(T) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX:

(i) except as expressly required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Borrower or any other Person with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose except as expressly required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

(ii) whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Article IX;

(iii) neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability with respect to the acts or omissions of any other Person, and may assume compliance by each of the other parties to the Transaction Documents with their obligations thereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is notified of any such noncompliance in writing;

(iv) under no circumstances shall the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or indebtedness of any other party to the Transaction Documents;

(vi) neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action hereunder if it shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by its counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, or is contrary to the terms hereof or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or is not in accordance with applicable laws.

(U) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent (i) has provided nor will it provide in the future, any advice, counsel or opinion regarding the tax, financial, investment, securities law or insurance implications and consequences of the consummation, funding and ongoing administration of this Agreement and the matters contemplated herein, including, but not limited to, income, gift and estate tax issues, and the initial and ongoing selection and monitoring of financing arrangements, (ii) has made any investigation as to the accuracy of any representations, warranties or other obligations of any other party to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any other document or instrument and shall not have any liability in connection therewith and (iii) has prepared or verified, or shall be responsible or liable for, any information, disclosure or other statement in any

disclosure or offering document delivered in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(V) The recitals contained herein shall not be taken as the statements of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, and neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall assume any responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent makes any representation regarding the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or as to the perfection or priority of any security interest therein, except as expressly set forth in Section 9.2(C).

(W) In the event that (i) the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent is unsure as to the application or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) this Agreement is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent is required or permitted to take with respect to a particular set of facts, or (iii) more than one methodology can be used to make any determination or calculation to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder, then the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may give written notice to the Facility Agent (with a copy to each Lender) requesting written instruction and, to the extent that the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such written instruction, neither the Paying Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be personally liable to any Person. If the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent shall not have received such written instruction within ten (10) calendar days of delivery of notice to the Facility Agent (or within such shorter period of time as may reasonably be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any action, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(BB) The rights, benefits, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder shall extend to the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent (in any of their capacities) under any other Transaction Document or related agreement as though set forth therein in their entirety mutatis mutandis.

Section VIII.5.Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to reimburse and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent, in their individual and representative capacities, and its officers, directors, agents and employees (collectively, the “Computershare Indemnified Parties”) against any and all fees, costs, damages, losses, suits, claims, judgments, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel and court costs) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever, regardless of the merit, which may be imposed on, incurred by or demanded, claimed or asserted against any of them in any way directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, including in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit brought) by any Computershare Indemnified Party of its rights hereunder or thereunder (including rights to indemnification), provided, that the Borrower shall not be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, no longer subject to appeal or review. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the discharge, termination or assignment of this Agreement or any related agreement or the earlier of the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. This Section 9.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, liabilities, claims and damages arising from any non-Tax Proceeding or claim. The Computershare Indemnified Parties’ reasonable and documented expenses are intended as expenses of administration. Amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be paid solely in accordance with and pursuant to the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.7(B).

Section VIII.6.Successor Paying Agent/Collateral Agent. Each of the Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent may individually resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, that no such resignation shall become effective until a successor Paying Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, that is satisfactory to the Facility Agent and, to the extent no Event of Default or Early Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, has been appointed hereunder. Each of the

Paying Agent and the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time for cause by at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice received by the Paying Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, from the Facility Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Facility Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Paying Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, that is satisfactory to the Borrower (unless an Event of Default or Early Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Paying Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the exiting Paying Agent’s or exiting Collateral Agent's, as applicable, giving notice of resignation or receipt of notice of removal, then the exiting Paying Agent or exiting Collateral Agent, as applicable, may, at the sole expense (including all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ reasonable and documented fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such petition) of the Borrower, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Paying Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section IX.5.Indemnification.

(A) Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Facility Agent, the Lenders and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel and court costs), including in connection with any enforcement (including any action, suit or claim brought by an Indemnitee) of the Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder, to which such Indemnitee may become subject arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding” (including any Proceedings under environmental laws)) relating to the Transaction Documents, the Sale Leaseback Documents, the NJR Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or transaction related thereto, the use of proceeds of the Loan, and the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such Proceedings are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other third party, and to reimburse each Indemnitee upon written demand therefor (together with reasonable back-up documentation supporting such reimbursement request) for any reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing of one law firm to all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, in the case of a conflict of interest, of one additional counsel to the affected Indemnitee taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel and/or one regulatory counsel in any material relevant jurisdiction); provided, that the foregoing indemnity and reimbursement obligation will not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to (A) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) to the extent they are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of, or material breach of the Transaction Documents by, such Indemnitee or any of its affiliates or controlling persons or any of the officers, directors, employees, advisors or agents of any of the foregoing or (ii) arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee or (B) any settlement entered into by such Indemnitee without the Borrower’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). This Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, liabilities, claims and damages arising from any non-Tax Proceeding or claim. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the discharge, termination or assignment of this Agreement or any related agreement or the earlier of the resignation or removal of the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.5, the provisions of this Section 10.5 shall be applied without prejudice to, and the provisions shall not have the effect of diminishing, the rights of the Paying Agent, Collateral Agent and any Computershare Indemnified Party under Section 9.5 of this Agreement or any other provision of any Transaction Document providing for the indemnification of any such Persons.

(B) [Reserved].

(C) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of the parties hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, and

acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any other party hereto or any other Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this clause (C) shall not be applicable with respect to any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and court costs) suffered by an Indemnitee resulting from damages awarded to any third party. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (A) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(D) Payments. All amounts due and payable under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a demand therefor; provided, however, that the applicable Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.5.

(E) Survival. The agreements and the indemnity provisions set forth in this Section 10.5 shall survive the resignation of the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the replacement of any Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

Section IX.6.Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recording, administration, modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement, the Loan Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Paying Agent with respect thereto. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable and documented counsel fees and expenses) (A) in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Loan Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder and (B) incurred by the Facility Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the transactions described herein and in the other Transaction Documents, including in any case reasonable and documented counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 10.6. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Facility Agent or its counsel may at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, engage professional consultants selected by the Facility Agent to conduct additional due diligence with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including (A) review and independently assess the existing methodology employed by the Borrower in allocating Collections with respect to the Collateral, assess the reasonableness of the methodology for the equitable allocation of those Collections and make any recommendations to amend the methodology, if appropriate, (B) review the financial forecasts submitted by the

Borrower to the Facility Agent and assess the reasonableness and feasibility of those forecasts and make any recommendations based on that review, if appropriate, and (C) verify the asset base of the Borrower and the Borrower’s valuation of its assets, as well as certain matters related thereto. The reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such professional consultants, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.6, shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

Section IX.7.Right of Set-off; Ratable Payments; Relations Among Lenders. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and subject to the prior payment of Obligations owed to the parties to the Transaction Documents, each of the Facility Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by and other indebtedness at any time owing to the Facility Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Loan Notes, whether or not the Facility Agent or such Lenders shall have made any demand under this Agreement or the Loan Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Facility Agent and each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Facility Agent and the Lenders under this Section 10.7(A) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Facility Agent and the Lenders may have.

(A)If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its portion of the Loan in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such other Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loan owned by the Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable share of Loan. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon written demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

(B)Except with respect to the exercise of set-off rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 10.7(A), the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Collateral or Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of the other Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, at the direction of the Facility Agent.

(C)The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Facility Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

Section IX.8.Binding Effect; Assignment.

(A) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent and the Facility Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent and the Lenders, and any assignment by the Borrower in violation of this Section 10.8 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of this Section 10.8, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Facility Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any Loan Note to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such assignment or pledge shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any part or portion of, or may grant participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or any part or portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including its Loan Notes or interest in the Loan); provided, that each such assignment (A) shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, (B) shall be recorded in the Register, and (C) shall be made either (i) so long as no Event of Default or Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, to any Person who is either (1) a Permitted Assignee or (2) not a Disqualified Lender and, in each case, who is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Facility Agent (in each case, in its reasonable discretion, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall not have any approval rights if the Seller or the Borrower shall have breached or defaulted on any of its covenants or obligations under the EU Risk Retention Side Letter, or (ii) if an Event of Default or an Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, to any Person; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment set forth in clause (i) if it shall have failed to object thereto by written notice to the Facility Agent within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice thereof. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Facility Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Facility Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.

(B) To the extent any a Hedge Counterparty ceases to be a Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender as a result of the assignment of any part or portion of the Loan under this Section 10.8, to the extent requested by the Borrower, such Hedge Counterparty shall novate, assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations under its Hedge Agreement to a Qualifying Hedge Counterparty concurrently with it or its Affiliate ceasing to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement and shall bear any and all costs of such novation, including any mark-to-market assumption payment and/or credit margin.

(C) Upon, and to the extent of, any assignment (unless otherwise stated therein) made by any Lender hereunder, the assignee or purchaser of such assignment shall be a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.17(G)) of a Lender hereunder. The Facility Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitments of the Lenders, the outstanding principal amounts (and stated

interest) of the Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and any assignment of such outstanding portion of the Loan. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Facility Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(D) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participation interests in its portion of the Loan owned by it and obligations hereunder (each such recipient of a participation a “Participant”); provided, that after giving effect to the sale of such participation, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations hereunder and rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, all amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and all rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof shall be determined as if such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ had not sold such participation interest, and the Borrower and the Facility Agent and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender and not be obligated to deal with such Participant. 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 outstanding principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan 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, 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, none of the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Paying Agent shall have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each Participant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.17(G)) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(G) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) hereunder with respect to the rights and benefits so participated as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder and acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.8(A), except that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12(B) or 2.17 than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(E) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Lender may pledge as collateral, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights in, to and under this Agreement to a security trustee in connection with the funding by such Lender of its

portion of the Loan without the consent of the Borrower; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release such Lender from its obligations under this Agreement.

Section IX.9.Governing Law. This Agreement shall, in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof that would call for the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section IX.10.Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of New York (New York County) or of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, or any legal process with respect to itself or any of its property, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect of this Agreement or any document related hereto. Each of the parties hereto waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made by any other means permitted by New York law.

Section IX.11.Waiver of Jury Trial. All parties hereunder hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive any rights they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Agreement, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether oral or written) or actions of the parties in connection herewith or therewith. All parties acknowledge and agree that they have received full and significant consideration for this provision and that this provision is a material inducement for all parties to enter into this Agreement.

Section IX.12.Section Headings. All section headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect any construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section IX.13.Tax Characterization. The parties hereto intend for the Loan to be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Best or ▇▇▇▇▇ Bond Rating Agency, LLC. The Borrower agrees to provide and to cause its Affiliates to provide reasonable assistance to obtain such rating. For the avoidance of doubt, any such rating shall not be a condition precedent to the exercise of any rights of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section IX.15.Limitations on Liability. None of the members, managers, general or limited partners, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, directors, Affiliates or holders of limited liability company interests of or in the Borrower shall be under any liability to the Facility Agent or the Lenders, respectively, any of their successors or assigns, or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in such capacities or

otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or for any obligation or covenant under this Agreement, it being understood that this Agreement and the obligations created hereunder shall be, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, with respect to the Borrower, solely the limited liability company obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower and any member, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent, shareholder, director, Affiliate or holder of a limited liability company interest of or in the Borrower may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (other than the Borrower) respecting any matters arising hereunder.

Section IX.16.Confidentiality. Each Lender and the Facility Agent agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all nonpublic information with respect to the parties herein or any other matters furnished or delivered to it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, that such information may be disclosed (i) to such party’s Affiliates or such party’s or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives (collectively “Lender Representatives”), in each case, who have a need to know such information for the purpose of assisting in the negotiation, completion and administration of the Facility and on a confidential basis, (ii) to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, the Facility or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, in each case on a confidential basis, (iii) to any financing source, insurer or insurance broker, dealer, hedge counterparty or other similar party in connection with financing, insurance or risk management activities related to the Facility, (iv) to the extent required by applicable Law or required or requested by any Governmental Authority, self-regulatory authority, regulator or supervisory authority having jurisdiction over such party and (v) to the extent necessary in connection with the enforcement of any Transaction Document.

The provisions of this Section 10.16 shall not apply to information that (i) is or hereafter becomes (through a source other than the applicable Lender or the Facility Agent or any Lender Representative associated with such party) generally available to the public, (ii) was rightfully known to the applicable Lender or the Facility Agent or any Lender Representative or was rightfully in their possession prior to the date of its disclosure pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) becomes available to the applicable Lender or the Facility Agent or any Lender Representative from a third party unless to their knowledge such third party disclosed such information in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to the applicable Lender or the Facility Agent or any Lender Representative, (iv) has been approved for release by written authorization of the parties whose information is proposed to be disclosed, or (v) has been independently developed or acquired by any Lender or the Facility Agent or any Lender Representative without violating this Agreement.
