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

(i)           No LC Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such LC Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such LC Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such LC Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such LC Issuer in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such LC Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

Section 2.2.         Applicable Interest Rates.

(a)          Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a SOFR Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable on each Payment Date following the date such Loan is advanced or created by conversion, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and on the date such Loan is paid in full.

(b)          SOFR Loans. Each SOFR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement (including the use of the term “per annum”), on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Applicable Margin plus (y) the Term SOFR applicable for such Interest Period, payable on the last day of such Interest Period, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and on the date such Loan is paid in full.

(c)          Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be prima facie evidence of such interest rate except in the case of manifest error.

Section 2.3.     Deemed Borrowings; LC Loans; Type. Each Borrowing requested or deemed requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(ii) shall be in the amount of the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. LC Loans made in connection with draws on different Letters of Credit may be outstanding at the same time; provided that all Loans made in connection with draws on Letters of Credit shall be (or shall be promptly made to be) of the same Type. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be for Revolving Loans of the same Type.

-59-

Section 2.4.     Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates.

(a)          Notice to the Administrative Agent. At any time after Loans are requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) or deemed requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(ii), as applicable, and made by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) or Section 2.1(g)(ii), as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue, with respect to all Loans, the Type of Loan or, all or a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Loan is a SOFR Loan, on the last day of the current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Loan as a SOFR Loan or convert part or all of such Loan into a Base Rate Loan or (ii) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Loan into a SOFR Loan for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone, facsimile or electronic transmission (which notice shall be irrevocable once given (it being understood that the failure of the Borrower to actually borrow pursuant to Section 2.1 on the specified date shall not result in a reduction of any Commitment but shall result in an obligation of the Borrower to make any required payments under Section 2.10) and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (each, a “Notice of Continuation/Conversion”), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of SOFR Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans must be given by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be continued or converted, the Type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to consist of SOFR Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic, facsimile or electronic notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Officer of the Borrower without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.

(b)          Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt electronic notice to each LC Lender or Revolving Loan Lender, as the case may be, of any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to Section 2.4(a) above and, if such notice requests the Lenders of the applicable Class to make SOFR Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the applicable Class by like means of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

(c)          Borrower’s Failure to Notify; Automatic Continuations and Conversions. Any outstanding Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan shall automatically be continued as a Base Rate Loan unless (x) the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent within the period required by Section 2.4(a) that the Borrower intends to convert such Borrowing, subject to Section 7.4 hereof, into a Borrowing of SOFR Loans or (y) such Borrowing is prepaid in accordance with Section 2.7. With respect to any outstanding Borrowing of SOFR Loans, if (x) the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.4(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of SOFR Loans before the last day of its then-current Interest Period within the period required by Section 2.4(a) the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such SOFR Loans as SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month, or (y) there exists and is continuing an Event of Default and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 2.7, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period.

-60-

(d)          As provided in Section 2.4(a) hereof, at the time of each request to advance, continue or convert a Borrowing of SOFR Loans, the Borrower shall select an Interest Period applicable to such Loans from among the available options.

Section 2.5.     Repayment of Loans.

(a)          The LC Loans, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower on the earlier of (i) one year after drawing on the related Letter of Credit and (ii) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (such earlier date, the “LC Loan Maturity Date”). On or prior to the LC Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower may request that the LC Lenders and LC Issuer agree to extend the LC Loan Maturity Date in accordance with Section 13.19(c).

(b)          There will be no scheduled amortization for the Revolving Loans prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Revolving Loans, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower on the date that is the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Revolving Loan Maturity Date”).

Section 2.6.     Optional Prepayments.

(a)          The Borrower may prepay in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount not less than $250,000, and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof), any Borrowing at any time, upon three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid, and, in the case of any SOFR Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due to the Lenders under Section 2.10 hereof (including without limitation Breakage Costs and any associated Hedging Termination Values due to the relevant Permitted Hedging Counterparty); provided, however, that the prepayment of Base Rate Loans does not require the Borrower to provide prior days’ notice. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be applied to the outstanding Loans as the Borrower may direct.

(b)          The Borrower shall also pay, at the time of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.6, any amounts due the Lenders under Sections 2.10 and 11.3 hereof, together with any Hedging Termination Values due to the relevant Permitted Hedging Counterparty.

-61-

Section 2.7.     Mandatory Payments.

(a)          Mandatory Payment Events. The Borrower shall (x) prepay the principal amount of the Loans on the Prepayment Date (as defined in paragraph (b)(i) below), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of payment (and without payment of any premium or penalty), plus any amounts due to the Lenders under Section 2.10 hereof (including any associated Hedging Termination Values due to the relevant Permitted Hedging Counterparty) and (y) cash collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit then outstanding in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.4 (the actions required by clauses (x) and (y) being the “Mandatory Payments”), in each case to the extent necessary to cause no Overadvance to exist after giving effect to any such Mandatory Payment (other than in the case of clauses (vi) and (vii) below):

(i)         if the Borrower directly or indirectly consummates any Facility Sale;

(ii)        if the Obligors collectively receive Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Casualty Event or Event of Eminent Domain; provided that, in each case, Net Cash Proceeds shall be excluded from the requirements of this clause (ii) if (and solely to the extent) (x) in good faith the Borrower reinvests (directly or indirectly) such Net Cash Proceeds (or reimburses any Affiliate, as permitted pursuant to Section 9.8, for payments made by such Affiliate on behalf of any Obligor or Subsidiary with respect to repairs, replacements or restoration paid for and/or undertaken by such Affiliate with respect to such assets in advance of receipt by an Obligor or Subsidiary of any applicable insurance proceeds), within one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, or (y) the Borrower (or one of its Subsidiaries) enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest (directly or indirectly, including any reimbursement of amounts previously invested by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the foregoing sub-clause (x) within one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt thereof, and the Borrower so reinvests (directly or indirectly, including any reimbursement of amounts previously invested by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) such Net Cash Proceeds within ninety (90) days following such initial one hundred eighty (180) day period; provided, further, that an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall certify to the Administrative Agent such good-faith intention to reinvest (or commit to reinvest or to reimburse) all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds within six (6) Business Days after receipt thereof (it being understood and agreed that (1) delivery of such certification shall not be a condition to the Borrower’s ability to exercise its right to reinvest (or commit to reinvest or to reimburse) all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds and (2) failure to deliver such certification shall not result in a prepayment being required under this Section 2.7(a)(ii) if the Borrower reinvests (or commits to reinvest or reimburses) all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds as provided herein). If, following its commitment to reinvest (or reimburse) all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower is unable to do so, it will comply with this Section 2.7(a)(ii) in respect of any such uninvested proceeds within six (6) Business Days following the end of the applicable period set forth above;

(iii)       if any Facility becomes a Cancelled Facility (it being acknowledged that such Facility may still be eligible for financing hereunder after such mandatory prepayment is made);

-62-

(iv)       in connection with any capital contribution or other payment by a Tax Equity Investor in connection with a Permitted Tax Equity Arrangement for which one or more Loans were made hereunder (provided, that subsequent funding commitments shall be assumed to be funded for purposes of determining whether there is an Overadvance and provided further, that in connection with any Permitted Tax Equity Arrangement with multiple funding events, the amount of such capital contribution in excess of the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.7(a)(iv) shall be deposited into the Tax Equity Contribution Reserve Account or otherwise reserved in an Account of a Subsidiary of the Borrower, in each case that is subject to an Account Control Agreement or is otherwise pledged to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (other than the amount of any costs and expenses payable from such capital contributions pursuant to the applicable Tax Equity Documents, which in each case may be paid prior to making any prepayment due and payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(a)(iv)) until the occurrence of the final funding event under such Permitted Tax Equity Arrangement);

(v)        if any updated Pro Forma Model delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.21 reveals the existence of an Overadvance, in an amount equal to the amount of such Overadvance;

(vi)       if on any date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments under this Agreement at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess;

(vii)      if at any time any Obligor creates, incurs, assumes or permits to exist any Indebtedness, except for Permitted Indebtedness, in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness;

(viii)     if the Obligors collectively receive Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Termination Event; and

(ix)        if any Loans with respect to a Facility remain outstanding on the date that is eighteen (18) months after substantial completion in accordance with the applicable Facility Documents has been achieved for such Facility.

The Borrower shall make the Mandatory Payments in an aggregate amount specified above, in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in paragraph (b) below.

(b)          Procedures for Mandatory Prepayment. A prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall be made as set forth in this Section 2.7(b):

(i)         Each prepayment pursuant to (x) Section 2.7(a)(i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) shall be made within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence of the applicable event set forth in Section 2.7(a)(i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) as applicable, (y) Section 2.7(a)(iii) shall be made within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the applicable event set forth in Section 2.7(a)(iii) and (z) Section 2.7(a)(v) shall be due within thirty (30) days of the later of (1) the delivery of the Pro Forma Model reflecting the Overadvance and (2) the expiration of any applicable cure periods in the Facility Documents applicable to the event giving rise to the Overadvance, and shall in each case be accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent demonstrating the calculation of such prepayment amount (such date, a “Prepayment Date”).

-63-

(ii)        In the case of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.7(a), such prepayment amount shall be applied to the principal amount of Loans outstanding on the Prepayment Date or, if no such Loans are outstanding, to ratable cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit then outstanding in the amount of such prepayment in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.4; provided that no prepayments of Loans under Section 2.7(a) shall permanently reduce the Commitments. Each prepayment of Loans under Section 2.7(a) shall be made together with accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the date of prepayment together with, in the case of any SOFR Loans, any amounts due the LC Lenders under Section 2.11 hereof.

(c)          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained in Section 2.7(a) shall in any manner or way constitute or be deemed to be a release of the obligations secured by, or impair the enforceability of, the Liens and security interests and possessory rights created by or arising from the Credit Documents or restrict the remedies available to any Lender to realize upon the Collateral or alter, modify or release in any manner any of the obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

Section 2.8.     Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any failure by the Borrower to pay any amount when due hereunder (including after acceleration), the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on such overdue amount, at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) that is the sum of the interest rate from time to time in effect for any such Loan, plus two percent (2.0%). Interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent (or if no demand is made, on such dates when interest on Loans are otherwise due hereunder).

Section 2.9.     Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a)          Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b)          The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c)          The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. In the event of any conflict between the Register and the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts maintained by any Lender, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error.

-64-

(d)          Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in substantially the forms of Exhibit B-1 (referred to herein as an “LC Note”) or Exhibit B-2 (referred to herein as a “Revolving Loan Note”), as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender an LC Note or Revolving Loan Note, as applicable, payable to such Lender or registered assigns in the amount of the relevant Commitment. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such LC Note or LC Notes, or Revolving Loan Note or Revolving Loan Notes, as applicable, and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.18) be represented by one or more LC Notes or Revolving Loan Notes, as applicable, payable to the payee named therein or registered assigns, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such LC Note or Revolving Loan Note, as applicable, for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

Section 2.10.     Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any SOFR Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:

(a)          any payment, prepayment or conversion of a SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period;

(b)          any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 7 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or continue a SOFR Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a SOFR Loan, on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.4(a) hereof (including without limitation as a result of the revocation of any conditional notice of prepayment);

(c)          any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any SOFR Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise); or

(d)          any acceleration of the maturity of a SOFR Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder;

then, upon the demand of such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense, including, without limitation, any Breakage Cost. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be prima facie evidence as to the amount thereof if reasonably determined.

Section 2.11.     Commitment Terminations.

(a)          The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent), to terminate or reduce the Commitments without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) other than in respect of any termination within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, in an amount of not less than $250,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) allocated ratably among the applicable Lenders in proportion to their respective Percentages; provided that Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Loans and LC Obligations then outstanding, after giving effect to such reduction and any payments made concurrently therewith (unless, in the case of any LC Obligations under outstanding Letters of Credit, there is no Credit Exposure with respect to such Letters of Credit).

-65-

(b)          Any termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11 may not be reinstated.

Section 2.12.     Substitution of Lenders. In the event (a) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or is otherwise in default in any material respect with respect to its obligations under the Credit Documents, (b) any Lender fails to consent to an amendment or waiver requested under Section 13.19 hereof at a time when the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders, as applicable, have approved such amendment or waiver or (c) any Lender makes a demand for compensation of any increased cost, any reduction of the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or any reduction in the rate of return on such Lender’s or any corporation controlling such Lender’s capital pursuant to Section 11.3(a) or 11.3(b) or the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.3 (any such Lender referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, require, at its expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder, and the other Credit Documents (including its (or its Affiliate’s) Permitted Hedging Agreements)) to a commercial bank or other financial institution specified by the Borrower; provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (ii) the Borrower shall have received the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to such assignment, (iii) the Affected Lender shall have received all monies (together with, unless the Affected Lender is in default in any material respect with respect to its obligations hereunder, amounts due to such Affected Lender under Section 2.10 hereof as if the Loans owing to it were prepaid rather than assigned) including the principal and accrued interest and fees owed to it hereunder and (iv) the assignment is entered into in accordance with the other requirements of Section 13.18 hereof (provided any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses due thereunder shall be paid by the Borrower).

Section 2.13.     Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)          The Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.19.

-66-

(ii)         Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agents hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any LC Issuer hereunder; third, to cash collateralize each LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.4; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest-bearing deposit account and released pro rata to (x) satisfy the future obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize each LC Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the LC Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or LC Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.4 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or owed to, that Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)        (x) The Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 3.1(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender); (y) the Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral; and (z) with respect to any commitment fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above, the Borrower shall (A) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Obligations that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender below, (B) pay to each LC Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

-67-

(b)          Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (i) the conditions set forth in Section 7.4 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (ii) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate LC Obligations of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s LC Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non- Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(c)          If the reallocation described in clause (b) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right of remedy available to it hereunder or under law, cash collateralize each LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 10.4.

(d)          Defaulting LC Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuers agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender that is an LC Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that LC Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding LC Loans of the other LC Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the LC Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the LC Lenders in accordance with their applicable Percentages, whereupon that LC Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that LC Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to LC Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that LC Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(e)          Defaulting Revolving Loan Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Loan Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Revolving Loan Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Loan Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Loan Lenders in accordance with their applicable Percentages, whereupon that Revolving Loan Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Revolving Loan Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Revolving Loan Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(a)          At any time during the Revolving Loan Availability Period, Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request an increase to the existing Revolving Loan Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Loan Commitments”) by an amount not in excess of $175,000,000 in the aggregate. Such New Revolving Loan Commitments shall not be less than $10,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by Administrative Agent), and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent (subject to any extension mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders) and (ii) the identity of each Revolving Loan Lender or other Person (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”) to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Loan Commitments; (B) both before and after giving effect to such New Revolving Loan Commitments each of the conditions set forth in Section 7.4 shall be satisfied; (C) the New Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by Borrower, the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Revolving Loan Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 13.5(b); (D) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.10 in connection with the New Revolving Loan Commitments; (E) the allocations of New Revolving Loan Commitments as among existing Revolving Loan Lenders who are New Revolving Loan Lenders shall be pro rata as determined by the allocations among the existing Revolving Loan Commitments; (F) the Borrower shall not propose the addition of any New Revolving Loan Lender prior to providing the existing Revolving Loan Lenders an opportunity to accept the full amount of New Revolving Loan Commitments and (G) the Borrower shall have approached each existing Revolving Loan Lender concurrently to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Loan Commitments and each such Lender shall have had the opportunity to elect or decline in its sole discretion (with elections in excess of the requested New Revolving Loan Commitments being allocated ratably). Each request for New Revolving Loan Commitments shall be accompanied by an updated Pro Forma Model, taking into account the effect of any New Revolving Loan Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, the maturity date for any New Revolving Loan Commitments shall be no earlier than the Revolving Loan Maturity Date unless otherwise agreed by each of the Lenders.

-69-

(b)          On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Revolving Loan Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Loan Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Loan Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Loan Commitments, (ii) each New Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Loan Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

(c)          Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and, in respect thereof, (i) the New Revolving Loan Commitments and the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and (ii) the respective interests in such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.14.

(d)          The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Loans. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement or and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. Each Lender hereby directs and authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute or cause to be executed any and all further instruments reasonably required by the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.14 (including entering into one or more joinder agreements, as applicable).

SECTION 3. FEES.

Section 3.1.     Fees.

(a)          Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, a commitment fee (computed, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement (including the use of the term “per annum”), on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed) for each day during the period from the date hereof until the Maturity Date at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% of the amount of outstanding LC Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments that have not been utilized as of such day (the “Commitment Fee”). Such Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, unless the LC Commitments and Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the unpaid Commitment Fee accrued to but excluding the date of such termination shall be paid on the date of such termination.

-70-

(b)          Letter of Credit Fees.

(i)          The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the LC Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages of the amount of Letters of Credit, a letter of credit fee (computed, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement (including the use of the term “per annum”), on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed) for each day at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin, of the average stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued and outstanding as of such day (the “Letter of Credit Fee”). Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each of the LC Issuers for its own account the applicable LC Issuer’s standard issuance, drawing, negotiation, amendment, assignment, and other administrative fees for each Letter of Credit as reasonably established by such LC Issuer from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Letter of Credit, no Letter of Credit Fee will accrue to the extent that such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.4 or other credit support reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and LC Lenders has been provided.

(ii)         The Borrower shall pay directly to each LC Issuer, for its own account, a fronting fee as set forth in the Fee Letter entered into with such LC Issuer in accordance with the terms of such Fee Letter.

(c)          Upfront Fee. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender the fees payable in the amounts and at the times provided in the Fee Letters.

SECTION 4. PLACE AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

Section 4.1.     Place and Application of Payments. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, and of all other Obligations payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date thereof at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 13.14 (or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate to the Borrower), for the benefit of the Lender(s) or Permitted Hedging Counterparties entitled thereto. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in Same Day Funds at the place of payment, in each case without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of such Obligations ratably to the Lenders and the Permitted Hedging Counterparties, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Administrative Agent causes amounts to be distributed to the Lenders or Permitted Hedging Counterparties in reliance upon the assumption that the Borrower will make a scheduled payment and such scheduled payment is not so made, each Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty, as applicable, shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount distributed to such Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was distributed to such Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the distribution was made to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty to the date such payment is made by such Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty, the Base Rate in effect for each such day.

-71-

All payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral received, in each instance, by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders after acceleration or the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the Commitments as a result of an Event of Default shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.09 of the Security Agreement.

Section 4.2.     Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of a commitment fee under Section 3 in respect of Commitments shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.13 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans and associated Hedging Termination Values by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders and associated Permitted Hedging Counterparties, respectively, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them and corresponding Hedging Termination Values owed to them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans and ordinary course payments (other than Hedging Termination Values) due under the Permitted Hedging Agreements by the Borrower shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders and Permitted Hedging Counterparties, respectively, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans and ordinary course payments then due and payable to the respective Lenders and Permitted Hedging Counterparties.

SECTION 5. GUARANTEE.

Section 5.1.     Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees to each Lender at any time outstanding the prompt payment in full, in Dollars, when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans (including interest on any overdue principal) and all other amounts from time to time owing by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to any Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty (including costs, expenses and Indemnified Taxes but excluding Excluded Swap Obligations) (such payments being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that if the Borrower shall default in the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (after giving effect to all applicable grace and cure periods), such Guarantor will (x) promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory or optional prepayment or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal and (y) pay to any Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparties, such amounts, to the extent lawful, as shall be sufficient to pay the costs and expenses of collection or of otherwise enforcing any of such Lender’s or Permitted Hedging Counterparty’s rights under the Credit Documents, including reasonable counsel fees. All obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 5 shall survive the transfer of any Loan, and any obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 5 with respect to which the underlying obligation of the Borrower is expressly stated to survive payment of any Loan shall also survive payment of such Loan. All obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 5 shall be joint and several.

-72-

Section 5.2.     Obligations Unconditional.

(a)          The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 5.1 constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment and not collectability and are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i)          any amendment, supplement or modification of any provision of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any assignment or transfer thereof, including the renewal or extension of the time of payment of any of the Loans or the granting of time in respect of such payment thereof, or of any furnishing or acceptance of security or any additional guarantee or any release of any security or guarantee so furnished or accepted for any of the Loans;

(ii)         any waiver, consent, extension, granting of time, forbearance, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy or power in respect hereof or thereof;

(iii)        any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceedings with respect to the Borrower or any other Person or the properties or creditors of any of them;

(iv)       the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under, or any invalidity or any unenforceability of, or any misrepresentation, irregularity or other defect in, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement;

-73-

(v)        any transfer of any assets to or from the Borrower, including any transfer or purported transfer to the Borrower from any Person, any invalidity, illegality of, or inability to enforce, any such transfer or purported transfer, any consolidation or merger of the Borrower with or into any Person, any change in the ownership of any Equity Interests of the Borrower, or any change whatsoever in the objects, capital structure, constitution or business of the Borrower;

(vi)       any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, on the part of the Borrower or any other Person to perform or comply with, or the impossibility or illegality of performance by the Borrower or any other Person of, any term of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement;

(vii)      any suit or other action brought by, or any judgment in favor of, any beneficiaries or creditors of, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, including any suit or action in any way attacking or involving any issue, matter or thing in respect of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement;

(viii)     any lack or limitation of status or of power, incapacity or disability of the Borrower or any trustee or agent thereof; or

(ix)        any other thing, event, happening, matter, circumstance or condition whatsoever (other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), not in any way limited to the foregoing.

(b)          Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever and any requirement that any Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty exhaust any right, power or remedy against the Borrower under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c)          In the event that any Guarantor shall at any time pay any amount on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or take any other action in performance of its obligations hereunder, such Guarantor shall not exercise any subrogation or other rights hereunder or under the Loans or the Permitted Hedging Agreements (including any transactions thereunder) and each Guarantor hereby waives all rights it may have to exercise any such subrogation or other rights, and all other remedies that it may have against the Borrower, in respect of any payment made hereunder unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights or other remedy, notwithstanding the waiver thereof, such amount shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lenders or the Permitted Hedging Counterparties and shall forthwith be paid to such Lenders or Permitted Hedging Counterparties to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Section 5 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment (including payment in full) by or on behalf of the Borrower is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Lender or Permitted Hedging Counterparty, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid and that it will indemnify each Lender and Permitted Hedging Counterparty on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

-74-

(d)          If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Loans or resulting in a termination of the Permitted Hedging Agreements shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and such acceleration or termination (and the effect thereof on the Guaranteed Obligations) shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against the Borrower or any other Person of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of the guarantee in this Section 5 and such Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement, the maturity of the principal amount of the Loans shall be deemed to have been accelerated or the Permitted Hedging Agreements shall be deemed to have been terminated (with a corresponding effect on the Guaranteed Obligations) with the same effect as if the Lenders had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such principal amount, any interest thereon, and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or demand.

(e)          The guarantee in this Section 5 is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Each default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate claim and cause of action hereunder, and separate claims or suits may be made and brought, as the case may be, hereunder as each such default occurs.

Section 5.3.     Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 5 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender, Permitted Hedging Counterparty or the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Administrative Agent), at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.

Section 5.4.     General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state or provincial corporate law, or any foreign, state, provincial or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 5.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 5.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Lender, any Permitted Hedging Counterparty or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 5.5.     Release of Guarantors. Upon (a) the occurrence of any funding under any Permitted Tax Equity Arrangement or (b) completion of a transaction permitted in Section 9.4 or Section 9.10 pursuant to which (i) all Equity Interests of a Guarantor are sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed, or (ii) a Guarantor has sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of its entire interest in all Facilities held by it, such Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and thereafter, such Person shall no longer constitute a “Guarantor” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Further, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or similar official in any such Bankruptcy Proceeding is (i) authorized to make payments or distributions in a Bankruptcy Proceeding directly to the Administrative Agent on behalf of all of the Lenders or LC Issuers to whom any amounts are owed under this Agreement and other Credit Documents, unless the Administrative Agent expressly consents in writing to the making of such payments or distributions directly to such Lenders and LC Issuers; and (ii) required to pay to the Agents any amounts due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under this Agreement and other Credit Documents.

Section 10.4.    Collateral for Undrawn Letters of Credit.

(a)         If the prepayment or cash collateralization of the amount available for drawing under any or all outstanding Letters of Credit is required under Section 2.7(b), Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 above (together with any accrued and unpaid fees), the Borrower shall forthwith pay the amount required to be so prepaid or cash collateralized, to be held by the Administrative Agent as provided in clause (b) below.

 -111-

(b)     All amounts prepaid or cash collateralized pursuant to clause (a) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more cash collateral account established at a banking institution selected by the Administrative Agent as security for, and for application by the Administrative Agent (to the extent available) to, the reimbursement of any payment under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter made, and to the payment of the unpaid balance of all other Obligations. The collateral account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the LC Lenders. If and when requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall invest funds held in the collateral account from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one year or less; provided that, the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the collateral account when and as required to make payments out of the collateral account for application to amounts due and owing from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the LC Lenders and the LC Issuer; provided, further, however, that if the Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in clause (a) above required under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 hereof, so long as no Letters of Credit, Loans or other Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations, unless a claim with respect thereto has been asserted), remains outstanding, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower any remaining amounts held in the collateral account.

Section 10.5.    Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under Section 10.1(c), Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.2 hereof, as applicable, promptly upon being requested to do so by any Lender and shall thereupon notify all the Lenders thereof.

Section 10.6.     Facility Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(c), (d), (e), (g), (h), (i), (k), (l) or (m) relating to a specific Facility, Obligor or other Subsidiary occurs and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the right to cure such Event of Default (within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence thereof) by (a) making a prepayment in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Available Amount, calculated and determined including such Facility, Obligor or other Subsidiary and (ii) the Available Amount, calculated and determined without reference to such Facility, Obligor or other Subsidiary and (b) delivering an updated Pro Forma Model in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, certified by the Borrower (and confirmed by the Independent Engineer and a third-party consultant acceptable to the Lenders) as to the reasonableness of the underlying technical, operating and construction assumptions set forth therein, demonstrating compliance with the Debt Sizing Criteria and Available Amount, and accompanied by a Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M.

SECTION 11. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Section 11.1.    Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if at any time after the Closing Date any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any SOFR Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain SOFR Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans and such Lender’s SOFR Loans shall be converted by such Lender to Base Rate Loans from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender; provided that if such conversion to Base Rate Loans is unlawful for such Lender, the Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected SOFR Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement; provided, further, however, that if such a prepayment is required, and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected SOFR Loans from such Lender by means of Base Rate Loans from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender.

-112- 

If it becomes illegal for any Lender to hold or benefit from a Lien over real property pursuant to any law of the United States or any State thereof, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and disclaim any benefit of such security interest to the extent of such illegality, but such illegality shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such Lien for the benefit of each of the other Lenders.

Section 11.2.    Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of, Term SOFR. Without limiting Section 13.19(b), if on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of SOFR Loans:

(a)     the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(b)     the Required Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that Term SOFR as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their SOFR Loans for such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans shall be suspended. Upon receipt of such initial notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 11.3.     Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a)     If on or after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency made or issued after the Closing Date:

(i)       shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or its Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its SOFR Loans, Letter(s) of Credit, or participations therein or any other amounts due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in respect of its SOFR Loans, Letter(s) of Credit, any participation therein, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it, or its obligation to make SOFR Loans, or issue a Letter of Credit, or acquire participations therein (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes); or

-113- 

(ii)      shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board (or any successor)) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its SOFR Loans, its LC Notes, its Revolving Loan Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make SOFR Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan, issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction (provided that, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amount or amounts in compensation for any such increased cost or reduction that accrued or occurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date of such demand, unless such increased costs or reduction is applied on a retroactive basis in which case such one hundred eighty (180) day period should be extended to include the period of retroactive effectiveness of such event).

(b)     If any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case after the Closing Date or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency made or issued after the Closing Date, has had the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction (provided that, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amount or amounts in compensation for any such reduction that occurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date of such demand, unless such reduction is applied on a retroactive basis in which case such 180-day period should be extended to include the period of retroactive effectiveness of such event).

-114- 

(c)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in Applicable Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(d)     A certificate of a Lender claiming compensation under this Section 11.3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be prima facie evidence as to the amount thereof if reasonably determined. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e)     If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 11.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 13, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require the Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.18), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) if such assignee is not a Lender, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees or cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under this Section 11.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 11.4.    Lending Offices. Each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or Affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or Affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 11.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 13, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.3 or Section 13, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-115- 

Section 11.5.     Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to SOFR Loans shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each SOFR Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period, and bearing an interest rate equal to Term SOFR.

SECTION 12. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

Section 12.1.    Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender (on behalf of itself and each Affiliate of such Lender that is a Permitted Hedge Counterparty) hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. as the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Lenders expressly agree that the Administrative Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Lenders in respect of the Credit Documents, the Borrower or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of the other Credit Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders except as expressly set forth herein. Use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent does not connote (and is not intended to connote), any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligation arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between the contracting parties. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees and other charges as may be separately agreed in writing. Any entity into which the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all of the corporate trust or agency business of the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may be transferred, shall be the Administrative Agent under this Agreement without further action.

Section 12.2.    Administrative Agent and Its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents. The term “Lender” as used herein and in all other Credit Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. References herein to the Administrative Agent’s Loans, or to the amount owing to the Administrative Agent for which an interest rate is being determined, refer to the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender.

-116- 

Section 12.3.     Action by Administrative Agent.

(a)     If the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower a written notice of Default or an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.15 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders written notice thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of Default.

(b)     The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” is provided in writing by a Lender or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Credit Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under the specific provisions of the Credit Documents, shall be binding upon all the Lenders and the holders of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power hereunder or under any Credit Document except as expressly instructed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action, which exposes Administrative Agent to any liability or is contrary to any provision of the Credit Documents or Applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of a property interest in violation of any applicable bankruptcy/insolvency laws and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it first receives further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any such discretionary action at the direction of the Required Lenders.

(c)     The authority to enforce rights and remedies under this Agreement and other Credit Documents against the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be vested in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of all the Lenders and the LC Issuers.

Section 12.4.     Liability of Administrative Agent; Credit Decision.

(a)     Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Credit Documents: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

-117- 

(b)     Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective 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 this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Credit Event; (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (including any report provided to it by an LC Issuer); (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Obligors contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (D) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 7 hereof, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (E) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, perfection, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writing furnished in connection with any Credit Document or of any Collateral; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matter mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, 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 (in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non- appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(c)     The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, the Borrower, or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact.

(d)      In the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall (i) not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties and (ii) be entitled to conclusively 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, in each case, to the extent delivered or received in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon, in each case, to the extent delivered or received in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents.

(e)      In determining compliance with any condition to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or LC Issuer unless the Administrative Agent receives notice to the contrary from such Lender or LC Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty whatsoever to investigate or verify whether any such signature is genuine or authorized or whether the information in any such communication, instruction, certificate, notice or other document is genuine or accurate. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Obligation as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

-118- 

(f)       In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Credit Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Agreement except as provided in clause (a) of this Section 12.4.

(g)      Each Lender acknowledges that it has independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to keep itself informed as to the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to any Lender with respect thereto. For purposes of this Section 12.4(g), the term “Lender” includes each LC Issuer.

(h)      The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(i)       The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Administrative Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

(j)       The Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any agency, trust, fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 12.5.    Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their respective Percentages, indemnify and hold each of the Agents, in such capacity, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by them under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the applicable Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise), but shall not be entitled to offset against amounts owed to the Administrative Agent by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in no event shall any of the Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent, or each their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each such person being called an “Agent Indemnitee”) be liable, for indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Agent Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

The reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no successor Administrative Agent shall be appointed without the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

-120- 

(c)      Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity thereunder first accrued after the date of such acceptance (other than its duties and obligations under Section 13.28 of this Agreement).

Section 12.8.    Designation of Additional Agents. With the prior consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “book runners,” “lead arrangers,” “arrangers,” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.

Section 12.9.     Erroneous Payments to Administrative Agent.

(a)      Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates, on behalf of a Lender (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were mistakenly or erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

-121- 

(b)     Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment) with respect to such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c)      In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (c) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (c) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 13.16 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

-122- 

(d)      The parties hereto agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount (provided that the Borrower’s Obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of such subrogation rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.9 or under the indemnifications provisions of this agreement. Nothing in this Section 12.9 shall be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall be permitted to enforce this Section 12.9, and the parties hereto agree that remedies at law may not be a sufficient remedy and that the Borrower shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Section 12.9, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

(e)      Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

Section 12.10.  Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of this credit facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

(a)      Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)     such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments or this Agreement;

(ii)    the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable so as to exempt from the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement;

(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

-124- 

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 13.1.    Payments Free of Withholding Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of an Obligor under any Credit 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 the applicable Obligor or the Administrative Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Obligor or the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Obligor or the Administrative 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 applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.1) the applicable Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

Section 13.2.     Payment of Other Taxes by the Obligors. The Obligors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law any Other Taxes.

Section 13.3.     Indemnification by the Obligors. The Obligors shall indemnify each Lender and/or Agent, within ten (10) days after written 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 13) payable or paid by any such Lender or Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Obligor by such Lender or Agent shall be conclusive evidence as to the amount thereof, absent manifest error.

Section 13.4.     Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 13, such Obligor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Section 13.5.     Status of Lender. (a) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document, it shall deliver to each Obligor and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date such Lender acquires an interest in a Loan, and subsequently, at the time or times reasonably requested by any Obligor or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation so requested as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender, on or prior to the date such Lender acquires an interest in a Loan, and subsequently, if reasonably requested by any Obligor or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or so requested by such Obligor or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Obligor or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iv) below) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender.

-125- 

If an Obligor becomes obligated to pay any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby agree to cooperate with such Obligor, at the cost and expense of such Obligor, to avoid the imposition of such Tax, including, without limitation, by designating a different lending office for the Loans of such Lender incurring such Tax or otherwise restructuring the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, such designation or restructuring will not, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, be disadvantageous to such Person.

Each Lender hereby agrees to reimburse each Obligor or the Administrative Agent for any withholding Taxes collected which such Obligor or the Administrative Agent fails to withhold on payments to such Lender as a direct result of the invalidity of any form or certificate required to be provided by such Lender by this Section 13.5 or Section 13.6 hereof.

(b)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Obligor is a U.S. Person,

(i)        if any Lender is a U.S. Person it shall deliver to the Borrower (for the benefit of each other Obligor) and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)       if any Lender is not a U.S. Person it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (for the benefit of each other Obligor) and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)    in the case of a Lender that is not a U.S. Person 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 Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, an applicable successor form) 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 Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or, in each case, an applicable successor form) 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;

-126- 

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

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

(D)    to the extent a Lender that is not a U.S. Person 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 (or, in each case, an applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if such Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 hereto on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii)             any Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (for the benefit of each other Obligor) and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower, any other Obligor or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv)             if a payment made to any Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (for the benefit of each other Obligor) and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for any Obligor and the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

-127- 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. For purposes of Section 13.5, the term “Lender” includes each LC Issuer.

Section 13.6.     Status of the Administrative Agent. On or before the date on which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Borrower two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9, W-8ECI or W-8BEN-E (as applicable with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY or W-9 (as applicable for all other payments).

Section 13.7.     Treatment of Certain Refunds. If, following the imposition of any Taxes on any payment by any Obligor to any Lender or the Administrative Agent in respect of which any Obligor is required to make an additional payment pursuant to this Section 13, any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified (as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Lender), such Lender or the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Obligors in an amount equal to such refund but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid by the Obligors under this Section 13 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund, net of all out of pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than any net after-tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.7, in no event will any Lender or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to the Obligors pursuant to this Section 13.7, the payment of which would place such Lender or the Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender or the Administrative Agent would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. Each Obligor, upon the request of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent the amount paid over to the Obligors (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This Section 13.7 shall not be construed to require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Obligors or any other Person.

Section 13.8.     Defined Term. For purposes of Sections 13.1 through 13.7, the term “law” includes FATCA.

-128- 

Section 13.9. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

Section 13.10. Non-Business Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.

Section 13.11. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Credit Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.

Section 13.12. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Section 2.10, Section 11.3, and Section 13.21 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 13.13. Sharing of Set-Off. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment pursuant to Section 13.22 hereof in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or participations therein, held by each such other Lenders (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. For purposes of this Section 13.13, amounts owed to or recovered by the LC Issuer in connection with Reimbursement Obligations in which Lenders have been required to fund their participation shall be treated as amounts owed to or recovered by the LC Issuer as a Lender hereunder. The provisions of this Section 13.13 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and as a result of the operation of Section 2.13 hereof or, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the payment of Loans on the applicable Maturity Date with respect to such Lender), (y) the application of cash collateral provided for in this Agreement, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in LC Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 13.13 shall apply).

(a)          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterpart signature pages, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

(b)          Electronic Execution. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 13.16. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including any subsequent holder of any of the Obligations. The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under any Credit Document (other than assignments as a matter of law pursuant to a merger or dissolution permitted by Section 9.4 hereof) without the written consent of all of the Lenders, and any such assignment without such consent shall be void and of no effect.

Section 13.17. Participants. Following the Closing Date, each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks, financial institutions or other Persons (other than natural persons, Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person; provided that, the participant shall not become a Lender (but shall, pursuant to the terms of the sale of such participation, be obligated to comply with Section 13.30 hereof as if the participant were a Lender) and (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) no participant shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Person therefrom, except that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of the Credit Documents, without such participant’s consent, that would (a) increase the Commitments of such participant, (b) reduce the amount of or postpone any fixed date for payment of any Obligation in which such participant has an interest (provided that, no participant’s consent shall be required for the rescission of any default interest imposed pursuant to Section 2.8), or (c) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or value of the Guarantees (except as otherwise provided for in the Credit Documents), and for the avoidance of doubt, no participant shall have any rights with respect to waivers of defaults or Events of Default and (v) any participation shall be in a pro rata proportion of such Lenders’ rights and obligations with respect to all of the Loans and Commitments held by such Lender. Any party to which such a participation has been granted shall have the benefits of Section 2.10 and Section 11.3 hereof except that any amount paid to such party under either such section shall not exceed the amount that would have been paid to such Lender in such circumstance. Any party to which such a participation has been granted shall have the benefits and requirements of Sections 13.1 through 13.10 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 13.5 shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.18; provided that such party shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 13.1 through 13.8 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any participant or prospective participant under this Section 13.17 any financial or other information pertaining to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, subject to the provisions of Section 13.30 hereof. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a “non-fiduciary” agent of the Borrower and each other Obligor, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit 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 Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b)(1) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 13.18. Assignments.

(a)          Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks, financial institutions or other Persons all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), subject to clause (c) below.

(b)          The Borrower shall have the right to require an LC Issuer, at the Borrower’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to such LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, to assign and delegate, without recourse, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee (which is an Acceptable Bank identified by the Borrower) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be a Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) if such LC Issuer is no longer an Acceptable Bank; provided that such LC Issuer shall have received payment of all amounts payable to it hereunder.

(c)          Any assignment pursuant to Section 13.18(a) must satisfy all of the following conditions:

(i)           Acceptable Bank. The assignee shall, at the time of such assignment, be an Acceptable Bank.

(ii)          No Partial Assignment. Solely with respect to LC Loans, the assignor must assign, and the assignee must assume, the LC Lender’s entire Commitment and one hundred (100%) of the LC Loans and participation interest in LC Obligations at the time owing to such LC Lender. No LC Lender shall assign a portion or a share of such LC Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all of the LC Loans and Commitments held by such assigning LC Lender.

(iii)         Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except:

(A)          the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required;

(B)          the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice within twenty (20) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(C)          the consent of each LC Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if (1) such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

-133- 

(D)          if the assignment is by an LC Issuer, then, with respect to all applicable outstanding Letters of Credit, replacement Letters of Credit shall be issued by the assignee LC Issuer simultaneously with the effectiveness of such assignment.

(iv)         Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that if the assignee is a Lender, or an Affiliate of a Lender, such processing and recordation fee shall not be due, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)          No Assignment to the Borrower. No such assignment or participation shall be made to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the consent of each Lender.

(vi)         No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.18(d) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.12 and 13.21 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, and notwithstanding the foregoing, shall continue to be bound by Section 13.30 hereof. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.18(c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.17 hereof.

(d)          Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a “non-fiduciary” agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (for its own account), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

-134- 

(e)          Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.18 shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that, no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided, further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(iii)         no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 13.19 shall, unless signed by each Lender, change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or the pro rata reduction of Commitments among the Lenders or change the priority of payments in the Collateral Accounts;

(vi)         no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 13.19 shall, unless signed by each Lender adversely affected thereby, (A) extend the applicable Maturity Date, but such Maturity Date may be extended solely with respect to such Lender with the consent of such Lender (no Lender having an obligation to provide any such consent) (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date) or (B) modify any condition precedent to any Credit Event or any defined terms as used in any such condition precedent;

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (1) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of any of its Loans may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced (provided that a waiver of the Default Rate shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest) and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (2) any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all of the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms adversely affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (y) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Credit Document (A) to implement New Revolving Loan Commitments under Section 2.14 and (B) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent), in each case so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender (or LC Issuer, if applicable) and the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 13.21(b) shall not apply to any loss attributable to any Taxes or Other Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 13.3. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in no event shall any Indemnitee be liable, for indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the use of the proceeds thereof.

All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Credit Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Credit Documents invalid or unenforceable.

Section 13.26. Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Credit Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Credit Documents. The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall only apply during such times as the Borrower has one or more Subsidiaries.

Section 13.27. Lenders’ Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint.

(d)          Nothing in this Section 13.28 shall affect the right of any Lender or LC Issuer to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that any Lender or LC Issuer may have to bring proceedings against the parties hereto in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.31. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)          The application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)          The effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable, (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 13.32. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs Acknowledgment.

To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Permitted Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)          In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(c) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

Section 13.34. Collateral Agent and Intermediary. Each Lender (on behalf of itself and each Affiliate of such Lender that is a Permitted Hedge Counterparty) authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Security Documents and to appoint and authorize the Collateral Agent to act on such Lender and its Affiliates, if applicable, behalf, as set forth therein. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Intermediary shall be entitled to all benefits, rights (including indemnification rights), powers, privileges, protections, indemnities and immunities granted to the Collateral Agent and the Intermediary, respectively, under the Security Agreement, all of which are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.
