Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 19, 2024, Sezzle Funding SPE II, LLC (the Borrower), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Sezzle Inc. (the Company), entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the new revolving credit facility), with a borrowing capacity of up to $150.0 million, which is governed by a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the Credit Agreement) entered into by the Borrower, certain lenders party thereto and Bastion Funding VI LP, as administrative agent (the Agent). The new revolving credit facility has a maturity date of April 19, 2027. The new revolving credit facility’s minimum utilization rate is $60.0 million. The new revolving credit facility carries an interest rate of 3-month Term SOFR plus 6.75%. The advance rate under the new revolving credit facility is 85% of the available receivable balance, unless the three most recent Seasoned Vintages (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have a Weighted Average Loss Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of less than 3.00%, in which case the advance rate is equal to 90%.

The obligations of the Borrower under the new revolving credit facility are guaranteed by Sezzle Funding SPE II Parent, LLC (SPE II Parent), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which is the sole member and owner of 100% of the equity interests of the Borrower, pursuant to that certain Pledge and Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 19, 2024, entered into by SPE II Parent in favor of the Agent on behalf of the secured parties under the new revolving credit facility (the Parent Guaranty). The new revolving credit facility is further supported by a limited guaranty and indemnity of certain losses, expenses and claims of the lenders and other secured parties, provided by the Company, as the direct owner of 100% of the legal and beneficial equity interests in SPE II Parent, pursuant to that certain Limited Guaranty and Indemnity Agreement entered into as of April 19, 2024 by the Company for the benefit of the Agent on behalf of the secured parties under the new revolving credit facility (the Limited Guaranty). The Credit Agreement, Parent Guaranty, and Limited Guaranty, and the additional ancillary agreements related to the new revolving credit facility are referred to collectively herein as the Credit Facility Agreements.

The Credit Agreement includes certain restrictive covenants and, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limits the Borrower’s ability to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, (ii) make investments or other restricted payments, (iii) acquire assets or form or acquire subsidiaries; (iv) create liens, (v) sell assets, (vi) pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock, (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (viii) enter into agreements that restrict the creation or incurrence of liens other than liens securing the new revolving credit facility and related documents, (ix) engage in liquidations, mergers or consolidations, and (x) make any material amendment, modification or supplement to its credit guidelines or servicing guide. SPE II Parent is subject to similar restrictive covenants contained in the Parent Guaranty.

The Limited Guaranty limits the Company’s ability to make certain restricted payments and includes financial maintenance covenants pertaining to the tangible net worth, liquidity and leverage of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the Consolidated Group). A failure by the Consolidated Group to satisfy the financial covenants under the Limited Guaranty constitutes an event of default under the new revolving credit facility.

The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default (including, among others, an event of default upon a change of control). An immediate event of default is also deemed to have occurred if ratios pertaining to defaulted collateral receivables of a particular vintage or past due collateral receivables within a certain collection period exceed pre-determined levels.

Prior to April 19, 2024, Sezzle had $72 million outstanding under its then existing revolving credit facility with Bastion Funding IV, LLC, as Administrative Agent on behalf of the lenders thereunder. The Company repaid the amounts outstanding under this prior credit facility with a portion of the proceeds from the new revolving credit facility disclosed in this Current Report.

The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement, Parent Guaranty and Limited Guaranty are summaries only, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to those agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.3 to this Current Report, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. The Credit Facility Agreements are not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the Company or its subsidiaries. The representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement, Parent Guaranty and Limited Guaranty were made only for purposes of such agreement (or the applicable related agreements) and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement (or the applicable related agreements), and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by disclosures for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties.

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, one or more of the lenders under the Credit Facility Agreements, or their affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform, commercial banking, investment banking, trust, advisory or other financial services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.

The provisions of this Section 1.04 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Agreement, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.04, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

(a) References in the Priority of Payments to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made.

(b) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Delinquent Collateral Receivables, Defaulted Collateral Receivables and Ineligible Collateral Receivables shall be deemed to have a Receivable Balance equal to zero.

31

(c) For purposes of calculating compliance with any Concentration Limitation based on the “weighted average”, “weighted average” shall mean, as of any date of determination with respect to all Collateral Receivables, the ratio (expressed as a number) obtained by summing the products (a) the original term to maturity of such Receivable, as applicable, times (b) the Receivable Balance of such Collateral Receivable, and (c) dividing such sum by the Aggregate Receivable Balance of all Collateral Receivables as of such date of determination.

(d) Determinations of the Collateral Receivables, or portions thereof, that constitute Excess Concentration Amounts will be determined in the way that produces the lowest Borrowing Base at the time of determination, it being understood that a Collateral Receivable (or portion thereof) that falls into more than one such category of Collateral Receivables will be deemed, solely for purposes of such determinations, to fall only into the category that produces the lowest such Borrowing Base at such time (without duplication).

(e) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations, all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.01%, with 0.005% rounded upwards.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Agreement shall be in U.S. Dollars (giving effect to the CAD FX Rate, if applicable). For purposes of this Agreement, calculations with respect to all amounts received or required to be paid in a currency other than U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be valued at zero.

(g) References in this Agreement to the Borrower’s “purchase” or “acquisition” of a Collateral Receivable include references to the Borrower’s acquisition of such Collateral Receivable by way of a sale from a Seller under a Receivable Purchase Agreement.

Section 1.05 Divisions. For all purposes under the Facility Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

ARTICLE II

Advances

Section 2.01 Revolving Credit Facility. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, including Article III, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to Borrower (each, an “Advance”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until but excluding the Termination Date, on a pro rata basis in each case based on and limited to the Percentage applicable to such Lender and, as to all Lenders, in an amount that would not cause the aggregate principal balance of the Advances to exceed the Maximum Available Amount as then in effect. No Lender shall make any Advance or portion thereof if it would cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances to exceed the Maximum Available Amount as then in effect.

(b) Each such borrowing under this Section 2.01 of an Advance on any single day is referred to herein as a “Borrowing.” Within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re-borrow) Advances under this Section 2.01 and prepay Advances under Section 2.05.

Section 2.02 Making of the Advances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.01, if the Borrower desires to request a Borrowing under this Agreement, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) for such Borrowing (which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the day of the requested Borrowing. A Notice of Borrowing received after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the following Business Day.

Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.02, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amounts of such Lender’s Advance requested to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, dated the date the request for the related Borrowing is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, shall attach a Maximum Advance Rate Test Calculation Statement and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling prior to the Termination Date, and the amount of the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $2,500,000 (or, less, if agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion).

Unless otherwise permitted by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion, there shall be no more than one (1) Borrowing Date per two calendar weeks.

(b) Funding by Lenders. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, each Lender providing an Advance shall make its Percentage (as such Percentage may be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof) of the applicable Requested Amount on each Borrowing Date (x) by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m. on such Borrowing Date to the Administrative Agent pursuant to wiring instructions provided by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will hold and pay such funds to the Borrower by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. on such Borrowing Date to the Funding Account, on behalf of the Lenders or (y) if requested in writing (email is acceptable) by the Administrative Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. on such Borrowing Date directly to the Funding Account pursuant to wiring instructions provided by the Administrative Agent.

33

(c) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may not assume that a Lender has made or will make its Percentage of any applicable Requested Amount and shall not be obligated to make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount unless the Administrative Agent has received from all Lenders the funds corresponding to their relevant Percentages with respect to the applicable Requested Amount.

(d) Minimum Advances. The initial Advance shall not be less than $60,000,000. The amount of each Advance requested by the Borrower thereafter shall not be less than the difference of the Minimum Utilization Amount less the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances at such time. The Borrower hereby irrevocably instructs each Lender to make Advances to the U.S. Collection Account or the Canadian Collection Account, as directed by the Borrower, after the date hereof, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the amount necessary to ensure that the outstanding principal balance of Advances, at any time prior to the Termination Date, are not less than $60,000,000.

Section 2.03 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to it and resulting from the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder; provided, however, that in case of a conflict between the records of the Administrative Agent and those of such Lender, the records of the Administrative Agent shall prevail absent manifest error.

(b) Maintenance of Records by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (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 for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for calculating and confirming any and all amounts due, interest, compliance with financial covenants, eligibility criteria and each other trigger or rate hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and each such calculation and confirmation shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence, absent obvious error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances and other Obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

34

Section 2.04 Payment of Principal, Interest and Certain Fees. The Borrower shall pay principal and interest on the Advances as follows:

(a) 100% of the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

(b) Interest shall accrue on the greater of (x) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance or (y) the Minimum Utilization Amount until such principal amount is paid in full at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate.

(c) Interest accrued during any calendar month on the outstanding principal balance of the Advances shall be due and payable on the first Payment Date in the next succeeding calendar month commencing in May 2024. Principal shall be paid to the extent provided in Section 9.01 on each Payment Date.

(d) Subject to clause (e) below, the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Advances, accrued interest thereon, to pay the Lenders the Termination Payment, and Unused Fees, and to pay any other fees as set forth hereunder, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.14 and Article IX) and thereof, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Secured Party or any other Person (other than a defense that payment was made).

(e) As a condition to the payment of interest on any Advance, and principal of any Advance, any Termination Payment, any Unused Fees and any other amounts due pursuant to the Facility Documents without the imposition of withholding tax, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Advance under any present or future law or regulation of the United States of America and any other applicable jurisdiction, or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation.

(f) Unused Fees shall accrue from the Closing Date until the Termination Date and shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lenders in arrears on each Payment Date for the immediately preceding Collection Period in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

35

Section 2.05 Prepayment of Advances.

(a) Optional Prepayments. On any date on or after the Closing Date, Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, subject to payment of any Termination Payment required pursuant to Section 2.06 and maintaining the required minimum outstanding Advances pursuant to Section 2.02(d), voluntarily prepay any outstanding Advances in whole or in part, together with all amounts due pursuant to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.10; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit B hereto by no later than 1:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day of such prepayment. Any Notice of Prepayment received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Upon receipt of such Notice of Prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event, no later than 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, notify each Lender. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon the date received and shall be dated the date such notice is given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and otherwise appropriately completed. Each prepayment of any Advance by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $2,500,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (including, but not limited to, any Termination Payment). The Borrower shall make the payment amount specified in such notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment to the account of the Administrative Agent, which will hold the funds on behalf of the Lenders. To the extent payment was made to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent promptly will make such payment amount specified in such notice available to each Lender in the amount of each Lender’s Percentage of the payment amount by wire transfer to such Lender’s account. Any funds for purposes of a voluntary prepayment received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Borrower may only provide a Notice of Prepayment to prepay Advances that are outstanding on the date such Notice of Prepayment is delivered and may not provide a Notice of Prepayment to prepay any future Advances.

(b) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.10 and applied to the Advances in accordance with the relevant Lenders’ respective Percentages.

(c) Interest on Prepaid Advances. The Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances that are prepaid on the date of such prepayment.

36

Section 2.06 Termination Payment.

(a) If the Borrower terminates this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit and account of each Lender, additional interest as a make whole to Lenders equal to the product of: (1) the then existing Interest Rate divided by TWELVE (12); (2) the outstanding principal amount of the Advances being prepaid as of the date of such termination; and (3) the number of full months from the date of such termination until the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Termination Payment”). The Termination Payment shall be due and payable on the date of such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, no such Termination Payment shall be due and payable by the Borrower if the Borrower terminates this Agreement on or after the eighteen month anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) In view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of termination of this Agreement, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders, the Termination Payment constitutes liquidated damages which shall be due and payable upon such date. The Borrower hereby waives any defense to payment other than payment on performance, whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise. The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that any Termination Payment due and payable hereunder shall not constitute unmatured interest, whether under Section 502(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation.

(c) Any amount payable under this Section 2.06 that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate set forth under clause (b) of “Interest Rate” from the date such amount is due until the date paid, in accordance with this Section 2.06.

Section 2.07 Maximum Lawful Rate. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the interest on the Advances shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law. Accordingly, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any interest is charged to, collected from or received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum lawful rate, then the excess of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower.

Section 2.08 Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor or make payments pursuant to Section 11.04 shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date or make such payments, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance or make such payments, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance to be made by such other Lender or to make such payments under Section 11.04.

37

Section 2.09 Increased Costs. (a) If (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, application or implementation of any Applicable Law or GAAP or other applicable accounting policy after the date hereof, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or change in the interpretation, application or implementation of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof, (a “Regulatory Change”):

(A) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest on the Advances), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any Affected Person, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Person or with or for the account of any Affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an Affiliate) of any Affected Person, or credit extended by any Affected Person;

(B) shall change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Person;

(C) shall subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(D) shall impose any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting any Advance owned or funded in whole or in part by any Affected Person, or its obligations or rights, if any, to make Advances or to provide funding therefor;

(E) shall change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto) assesses, deposit insurance premiums or similar charges; or

(F) shall cause an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon any Affected Person which, in the sole discretion of such Affected Person, is allocable to the Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be

(x) to increase the cost to or to impose a cost on an Affected Person funding or making or maintaining any Advance, or

(y) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Person under this Agreement, or

38

(z) in the sole determination of such Affected Person, to reduce the rate of return on the capital of an Affected Person as a consequence of its obligations hereunder,

then within thirty (30) days after demand by such Affected Person (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional or increased cost or such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd Frank Act”); (ii) the revised Basel Accord prepared by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as set out in the publication entitled “Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework,” as updated from time to time (“Basel II”); (iii) the publication entitled “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems,” as updated from time to time (“Basel III”), including any publications addressing the liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) or the supplementary leverage ratio (“SLR”); or (iv) any implementing laws, rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from any Governmental Authority relating to the Dodd Frank Act, Basel II or Basel III (whether or not having the force of law), and in each case all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to have been introduced after the Closing Date, thereby constituting a Regulatory Change hereunder with respect to the Affected Persons as of the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, and such additional amounts which are sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increase in capital or liquidity or reduced return in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Borrower acknowledges that this Section 2.09 permits the Affected Person to institute measures in anticipation of a Regulatory Change (including the imposition of internal charges on the Affected Person’s interests or obligations under this Agreement), and allows the Affected Person to commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Borrower under this Section 2.09 in connection with such measures (such amounts being referred to as “Early Adoption Increased Costs”), in advance of the effective date of such Regulatory Change, and the Borrower agrees to pay such Early Adoption Increased Costs to the Affected Person following demand therefor without regard to whether such effective date has occurred. If any Affected Person becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts submitted to the Borrower by an Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.09, such Lender will (i) use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Person would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Advances through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Advances or the interests of such Lender.

39

(c) Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation.

Section 2.10 Compensation; Breakage Payments. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Affected Person from time to time, on the Payment Dates, following such Affected Person’s written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), in accordance with the Priority of Payments for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance and any loss sustained by such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Affected Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding a default by the applicable Lender) a Borrowing of any Advance by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, (ii) if any payment, prepayment or conversion of any of the Borrower’s Advances occurs on a date that is not the last day of the relevant interest accrual period, or (iii) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay its Advances when required by the terms of this Agreement. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.11 Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Benchmark Disruption Event, then the affected Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof, and such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Advances hereunder based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate and the Advances of each interest accrual period in which such Person owns an interest shall either (1) if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Advances at the Adjusted Benchmark Rate until the last day of the applicable interest accrual period, be reallocated on the last day of such interest accrual period to another interest accrual period in respect of which the Advances allocated thereto accrues interest determined other than with respect to the Adjusted Benchmark Rate or (2) if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Advances at the Adjusted Benchmark Rate until the end of the applicable interest accrual period, such Lender’s share of the Advances allocated to such interest accrual period shall be deemed to accrue interest at the Base Rate from the effective date of such notice until the end of such interest accrual period.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Lender’s suspending its obligation to make or maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a), such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would enable such Lender to again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.

40

(c) If, prior to the first day of any interest accrual period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, either (i) the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Benchmark for the applicable Advances, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Benchmark Rate with respect to such Advances does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Section 2.12 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from any Lender.

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.12(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent, or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.12 including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their reasonable discretion and without consent from another party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12.

41

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Required Lenders may modify the terms of this Agreement for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Required Lenders may modify the terms of this Agreement for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

Section 2.13 Rescission or Return of Payment. The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of any payment theretofore made by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case maybe, as to such obligations, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 2.14 Post-Default Interest or Post-Reinvestment Period Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on all Obligations that are not paid when due for the period from the due date thereof until the date the same is paid in full at the rate set forth under clause (b) of “Interest Rate”. Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 2.15 Payments Generally. (a)  All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable recipient in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Payments must be received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day; provided that, payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day. To the extent payment was made to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent promptly will make such payment amount available to each Lender on a pro rata basis based on the amount due and owed to each Lender at such time by wire transfer to such Lender’s account.

42

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on such Advance.

ARTICLE VII

Pledge of Collateral; Rights of the Administrative Agent

Section 7.01 Grant of Security. (a)  The Borrower hereby grants, pledges, transfers and collaterally assigns to the Administrative Agent, effective upon the making of the initial Advance to the Borrower (the “Collateral Effective Time”) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for all Obligations, a continuing first priority security interest in, and a Lien upon, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under, the following property, in each case whether tangible or intangible, wheresoever located, and whether now owned by the Borrower or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (all of the property described in this Section 7.01(a) being collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”):

(i) all Receivables and the Related Documents (and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims thereunder or in respect thereto, whether arising pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise available to the Borrower at law or equity, including the right to enforce each such Related Document, both now and hereafter owned), including all Collections, insurance policies, insurance rights and other proceeds thereon or with respect thereto and all interest, dividends, distributions and other money or property of any kind distributed in respect of thereto;

(iv) all rights to payment under all servicer contracts and other contracts and agreements associated with the Receivables and all recourse rights against any Seller;

(v) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, financial assets, general intangibles, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights and other supporting obligations relating or credited to the foregoing (in each case as defined in the UCC), commercial tort claims and all other property of any type or nature in which the Borrower has an interest, whether tangible or intangible, and all other property of the Borrower which is delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Backup Servicer by or on behalf of the Borrower (whether or not constituting Collateral Receivables);

71

(viii) all Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

(b) All terms used in this Section 7.01 that are defined in the UCC but are not defined in Section 1.01 shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the UCC. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file any UCC financing statement, continuation statement and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to Section 7.07. Such designation shall not impose upon the Administrative Agent, or release or diminish, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 7.01 or Section 7.07. The Borrower further hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent’s or the Borrower’s counsel to file, without the Borrower’s signature, a UCC financing statement that names the Borrower as debtor and the Administrative Agent as secured party and that describes the Collateral in which the Administrative Agent has a grant of security hereunder and any amendments or continuation statements that may be necessary or desirable. The Borrower authorizes the UCC financing statement naming the Borrower as debtor to describe the Collateral therein as “all assets” or words of similar import.

(c) If the Borrower acquires any commercial tort claim after the date hereof, the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after such acquisition) deliver to the Administrative Agent a written description of such commercial tort claim and shall deliver a written agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, granting to the Administrative Agent, as security for the payment of the Obligations, a perfected security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to such commercial tort claim.

The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that following the execution of a Consent and Release and upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall immediately terminate and the Administrative Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties) shall, at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instrument as the Borrower shall reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination. Any and all actions under this Article VII in respect of the Collateral shall be without any recourse to, or representation or warranty by any Secured Party and shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower. The Borrower shall not file, or consent to any third-party filing, any UCC financing statement or amendment thereof without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.

72

Section 7.03 Rights and Remedies.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall (subject to direction by the Required Lenders), among other remedies: (i) instruct the Borrower to deliver any or all of the Collateral, the Related Documents and any other documents relating to the Collateral to the Administrative Agent or its designees and otherwise give all instructions for the Borrower regarding the Collateral; (ii)  sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, all without judicial process or proceedings; (iii) take control of the Proceeds of any such Collateral; (iv) subject to the provisions of the applicable Related Documents, exercise any consensual or voting rights in respect of the Collateral; (v) release, make extensions, discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (vi) enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral; (vii) institute or prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral; (viii) require that the Borrower immediately take all actions necessary to cause the liquidation of the Collateral in order to pay all amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Related Documents; (ix) redeem or withdraw or cause the Borrower to redeem or withdraw any asset of the Borrower to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (x) make copies of or, if necessary, remove from the Borrower’s, the Backup Servicer’s, the Servicer’s and their respective agents’ place of business all books, records and documents relating to the Collateral; and (xi) endorse the name of the Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an Obligor. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent), it shall execute all documents and agreements which are reasonably necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral to be assigned to the Administrative Agent or its designee. For purposes of taking the actions described in clauses (i) through (xi) of this Section 7.03, the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest and is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid, with power of substitution), in the name of the Administrative Agent or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and, except as prohibited by Applicable Law, without notice to the Borrower.

Section 7.04 Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies; provided, however, that no Secured Party may exercise any rights or remedies hereunder other than through the Administrative Agent or as consented to by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, however, that the Required Lenders may exercise any rights and remedies hereunder if, after directing the Administrative Agent in writing, the Administrative Agent does not comply with such instructions for any reason.

73

Section 7.05 Related Documents. (a)  The Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related Documents, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (i) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, promptly forward to the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer (or other successor servicer) all material information and notices which it receives under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral, and (ii) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent (as directed by the Required Lenders), act and refrain from acting in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent (as directed by the Required Lenders).

(b) The Borrower agrees that, to the extent the same shall be in the Borrower’s possession, it will hold all Related Documents and other documents relating to the Collateral in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and upon request of the Administrative Agent or following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided herein, promptly deliver the same to the Administrative Agent or its designee (including the Backup Servicer).

(b) No obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including under any Related Document or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the maximum extent permitted under provisions of law, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption.

74

Section 7.07 Protection of Collateral. The Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver, or caused to be executed and delivered, all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such UCC financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary, advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and to:

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer (so long as such Servicer is an Affiliate of the Borrower) will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under the Servicing Agreement, including fees and disbursements of its independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with the production of reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement to be for the account of the Borrower or except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer will be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than as provided under Section 9.01.

Section 10.04 Appointment of Backup Servicer. Upon the resignation of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or the occurrence and continuance of an Accelerated Amortization Event (other than an Unmatured Event of Default), an Event of Default or a Servicer Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders) deliver a Servicing Commencement Notice to the Backup Servicer. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, cooperate with the Backup Servicer to effectuate such transition in servicing as further set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement.

The Administrative Agent

Section 11.01 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent shall distribute a copy of all material modifications, amendments, extensions, consolidations, restatements, alterations, changes or revisions to any one or more of the Facility Documents (including, without limitation, waiver or consents entered into, executed or delivered by the Administrative Agent), to each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Facility Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of the Administrative Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which the Administrative Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed. The Administrative Agent shall not have or be construed to have any other duties or responsibilities in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability, cost or expense or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide that the Administrative Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or, by refusing to provide instruction) to the Administrative Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent will request direction of the Required Lenders and take the direction of the Required Lenders prior to any action or inaction in all matters concerning the Facility Documents.

80

Section 11.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 11.03 Agent’s Reliance, Etc. (a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or any Servicer or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or any Related Documents on the part of the Borrower or any Servicer or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or such Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral, this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by email) believed by it to be genuine and believe by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to the Borrower or any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, any Servicer’s or any Lender’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

81

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of any other agent (including concerning the application of funds), or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Documents or any Related Documents, or their duties thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder). The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders) except as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that it was the result of the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility Documents or Related Documents shall obligate the Administrative Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. The Administrative Agent shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by the Administrative Agent at its address in accordance with Section 12.02. Any permissive grant of power to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except as shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that it was the result of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

82

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

Section 11.04 Indemnification. To the extent the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 12.04 (and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), each of the Lenders severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Percentage at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.04 are subject to the provisions of Section 2.08. Any amounts paid by any Lender pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall constitute Obligations.

Section 11.05 Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05, the Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent. The appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, (ii) if such successor Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Affiliate of such Administrative Agent or any Lender or (iii) such successor Administrative Agent is a Participant that has been disclosed to the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Participant Appointed Administrative Agent”). No prior notice for the resignation of the existing Administrative Agent or the appointment of a Participant Appointed Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with the appointment of a Participant Appointed Administrative Agent. Any resignation of the Administrative Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 11.05. After the effectiveness of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. Any Person (i) into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Administrative Agent substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

83

Section 11.06 Administrative Agent’s Capacity as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 11.07 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, 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 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:

Section 11.08 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or another, Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or another a Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient 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. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part):

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

85

(ii) such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.08(b).

(c) Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, or Secured Party under any Facility Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Payment Recipient at any time, (i) such Payment Recipient, if a Lender, shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its commitments) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of such Advances (but not commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (and such Lender shall deliver any notes evidencing such Advances to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advances (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments, if any, of any Lender and such commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Advances (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or other Secured Party under the Facility Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.

86

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

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

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Facility Document.

ARTICLE XII

Miscellaneous

Section 12.01 No Waiver; Modifications in Writing. (a) No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

87

(b) No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, provided that:

(i) any Fundamental Amendment shall require the written consent of each affected Lender; and

(ii) no such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties, immunities or liabilities of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 12.02 Notices, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications hereunder to any party shall be in writing and sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, by overnight delivery service, with all charges prepaid, by hand delivery, or by e-mail, to such party’s address or e-mail address set forth in Schedule 3 hereto, or at such other address or e-mail address as such party may hereafter specify in a notice given in the manner required under this Section 12.02. All such notices and correspondence shall be deemed given (a) if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) Business Days after being postmarked, (b) if sent by overnight delivery service or by hand delivery, when received at the above stated addresses or when delivery is refused and (c) if sent by electronic transmission, upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement). The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents out of any courts in any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement by serving a copy thereof upon the Borrower or by mailing copies thereof by regular or overnight mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified in Schedule 3. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any notices required to be delivered and sent to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall distribute a copy thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.03 Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section 12.03, the term Applicable Law includes FATCA.

(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and any other Facility Document shall be made, in accordance with this Agreement or the related Facility Document, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If the Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable)) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by it hereunder or under any other Facility Document to any Secured Party, then the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 payment is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.03) such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made.

88

(c) In addition, the Borrower agrees to timely pay any present or future stamp, sales, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or under any other Facility Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Sections 2.09(b), 2.11(b) or 12.03(h)) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each of the Secured Parties, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes, including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12.03 payable by such Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 12.03, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof (or a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(f) If any payment is made by the Borrower to or for the account of any Secured Party after deduction for or on account of any Taxes, and an indemnity payment or additional amounts are paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.03, then, if such Secured Party, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines that it has received a refund of such Taxes, such Secured Party shall reimburse to the Borrower such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred) as such Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion to be attributable to the relevant Taxes; provided that in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, the Borrower agrees to return the refund to such Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

89

(g) Status of Lender.

(i) Each Lender that is a “United States person” as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Person”) hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Closing Date or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.06, the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, if applicable, two accurate, complete and executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form, certifying that such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(ii) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, no later than the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of properly completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, ^W8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments of interest hereunder, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, and establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business” profits or “other income” article of such treaty, with respect to any other applicable payments hereunder. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), no later than the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the event any such certificate is no longer accurate. In addition, to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, such Non-U.S. Lender shall also provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender designates a new lending office. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms as promptly as practicable after receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.03, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 12.03(g) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

90

(iii) 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 in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If any Secured Party requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Secured Party or any taxing Governmental Authority for the account of such Secured Party or to indemnify such Secured Party pursuant to this Section 12.03, then such Secured Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 12.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Secured Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Secured Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(i) Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

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

91

(k) Investment Units. For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, the parties shall, unless otherwise required by a change in law (including regulations, judicial rulings or published administrative determinations with respect to Taxes) or by any Governmental Authority following an audit or examination, (i) treat all Advances as indebtedness, (ii) treat the initial Advance and the Warrant as having been issued as an “investment unit” within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code, (iii) treat the initial Advance as having an “issue price” within the meaning of Section 1273(b) of the Code that is determined by subtracting the value of the Warrant as of the Closing Date (as determined by the Lenders), which determination the Lenders shall provide to the Borrower within 30 days of the Closing Date and (iv) treat the initial Advance as having been issued with original issue discount (“OID”) to the extent required as a result of their issuance as part of an investment unit. The parties shall prepare and file all U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing. The Borrower shall provide any information reasonably requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent or any Lender regarding the OID associated with the initial Advance for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Lenders shall also provide or cause to be provided to the Administrative Agent all information necessary to allow the Agent to comply with any applicable cost basis reporting obligations. The Administrative Agent may rely on the cost basis information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of the cost basis information provided to it.

(l) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all amounts owing under any Facility Document.

The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Related Documents, termination of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent. Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Administrative Agent are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

(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.

97

Section 12.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Facility Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for 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 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 this Section 12.22 applicable notwithstanding that the Facility Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the U.S. or any other state of the U.S.) that 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 U.S. or a state of the U.S. 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 Facility 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 Facility Documents were governed by the laws of the U.S. or a state of the U.S.

Section 12.21 Non-Petition.

(a) Each of the parties hereto (other than the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding Advances, it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto (other than Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not at any time institute against, solicit or join or cooperate with or encourage any institution against Borrower of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

98

(c) Nothing in this Section 12.23 shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, any of the foregoing Persons from taking (to the extent such action is otherwise permitted to be taken by such Person hereunder) or omitting to take any action prior to such date in (i) any case or proceeding with respect to Borrower voluntarily filed or commenced by or on behalf of Borrower under or pursuant to any such law or (ii) any involuntary case or proceeding pertaining to Borrower under or pursuant to any such law, which involuntary use was not commenced by any of the foregoing Persons.

Section 13.02 Assignment of Advances, Participations and Servicing, Appointment of Agent. (a) The Lenders may, at their individual option, sell and assign all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and under the Advances and this Agreement, in the sole discretion of such Lender, subject to, other than in connection with an assignment to a Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Syndication”), to one or more additional lenders; provided, however, that no assignment shall be made to (x) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), (y) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or (z) without the Borrower’s written consent, a Competitor. Each additional Lender shall enter into and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance whereby the existing Lender (the “Assigning Lender”) assigns to such new Lender a portion of its rights under the Advances, and pursuant to which the new Lender accepts such assignment. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance (i) each new Lender shall be a party hereto and to each applicable Facility Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages and, if applicable, priorities, set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights of the Assigning Lender hereunder in respect of the Advances, and (ii) the Assigning Lender shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents.

The liabilities of each of the Lenders shall be several and not joint, and any Lender’s Percentage shall be reduced by the amount of each such Assignment and Acceptance. No Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender.

(b) The Borrower agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the Advances permitted under Section 13.02(a), whether in whole or to an additional Lender or Participant, to furnish to Administrative Agent, any information as reasonably requested by any additional Lender or Participant in performing its due diligence in connection with its purchase of an interest in the Advances.

99

(c) The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute and perform this Agreement and each Facility Document on behalf of itself and as agent for the Secured Parties. The Lenders acknowledge that, subject to Section 12.01(b), the Administrative Agent shall retain the exclusive right to grant approvals and give consents required to be delivered hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any Lender, and no Lender shall have any right to deal directly with the Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Facility Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof, except as explicitly provided herein or therein.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of the Administrative Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent.

(e) Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Advances have been assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Acceptances, if the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, respectively. The Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, or any Affiliate of the Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.

(f) If required by any Lender, the Borrower hereby agrees to execute notes in the principal amount of such Lender’s Percentage of the Advances, and such note shall (i) be payable to order of such Lender, (ii) be dated as of the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance (or, if later, the date that such Lender became a Lender hereunder), and (iii) mature on the Termination Date. Such note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing Obligations hereunder and not any new or additional indebtedness of the Borrower.

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

100

(h) Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than (A) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), (B) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or subsidiaries or (C) without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, a Competitor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the payments made under Section 2.09 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

(i) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 12.03 and 12.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 12.03(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.03(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 or 12.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Applicable Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Facility 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 Facility Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

101

(j) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), provided that no such security interest or the exercise by the secured party of any of its rights thereunder shall release such Lender from any of its funding obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 13.03 Cooperation in Syndication. (a)  The Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, upon reasonable request, in completing a Syndication. Such assistance may include (i) direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Borrower and the proposed Lenders, (ii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication, (iii) the hosting, with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders or with the credit rating agencies, (iv) the delivery of appraisals reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent if required, and (v) working with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to procure a rating for the Advances by the credit rating agencies.

(b) The Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall manage all aspects of any Syndication of the Advances, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in their Syndication efforts, the Borrower agrees promptly to prepare and provide to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent all information with respect to the Borrower, the Parent, the Sponsor, each Seller and the Servicer contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the Syndication of the Advances. The Borrower hereby represents and covenants that (i) all information other than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any of their representatives is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any of its representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. The Borrower understands that in arranging and syndicating the Advances, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and, if applicable, the credit rating agencies, may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.

102

(c) If required in connection with the Syndication, the Borrower hereby agrees to:

(i) deliver updated financial and operating statements and other information reasonably required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to facilitate the Syndication;

(ii) deliver reliance letters reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent with respect to any environmental assessments and reports delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, which will run to the Lender and their respective successors and assigns;

(iii) execute modifications to the Facility Documents required by the Lenders, provided that such modification will not change any material or economic terms of the Facility Documents, or otherwise materially increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of the Borrower pursuant to the Facility Documents; and

(iv) if the Lenders and the Administrative Agent elect, in their respective individual sole discretion, prior to or upon a Syndication, to split the Advances into two or more parts, or any note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, principal amounts, payment priorities and maturities, the Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lenders and the Administrative Agent, at no cost or expense to the Borrower, in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to any note, this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same.

If Parent or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Parent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) to deduct or withhold any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by it hereunder or under any other Facility Document to any Secured Party, then Parent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, 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 payment is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Parent shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.07(g)) such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made.

(b)Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Parent shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that all such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Facility Documents.

(c)The Administrative Agent or its nominee shall have the right at any time after the continuance of an Event of Default to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof, and to receive all dividends and interest in respect of such Collateral.

(d)All distributions and other amounts which are received by Parent contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of Parent and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement requested by the Administrative Agent.)

Section 5.10Additional Subsidiaries. Parent shall not form or hold, own or acquire any Equity Interest in, any subsidiaries, other than the Borrower, nor undertake any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws).

Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Securities upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Borrower shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, to be held by it hereunder as additional security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of any of the Pledged Securities or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Securities pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the Borrower or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by it, together with indorsements in blank related thereto, as additional security for the Obligations; provided, however, that Parent shall not consent or otherwise permit any such liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

12

(b)Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Parent shall not directly or indirectly (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, the Borrower to issue any Equity Interest or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Equity Interest in the Borrower or (ii) vote or agree to admit any Person as an additional member, manager or other equity holder of the Borrower.

The Constituent Documents and the certificates evidencing the Pledged Securities each shall at all times state that the Pledged Securities are “securities” as such term is defined in Article 8 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT

Section 6.01Acceleration and Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall) exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)Those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Facility Document.

(ii)Those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other Applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.

(iii) Without notice except as specifically provided in Section 8.01 hereof or elsewhere herein, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(iv) Concurrently with written notice to Parent, exercise any and all voting and other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

13

(v)Concurrently with written notice to Parent, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Administrative Agent was the outright owner thereof.

(b)In connection with the exercise of any remedies in Section 6.01(a) above:

(i)The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption Parent hereby expressly releases.

(iii) Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(iv)Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Parties shall be required to (a) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, Parent, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor, any other collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (b) marshal the Collateral, any such other collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral, any such other collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (c) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

14

(v)If, at any time when the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder and the Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall or may not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Securities Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to purchasers each of whom is an accredited investor under the Securities Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. Parent acknowledges that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit Parent or the Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Parent and the Borrower would agree to do so.

(vi)The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 6.02Parent’s Obligations Upon an Event of Default. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Parent shall (and shall cause an issuer of Collateral to) execute all documents and agreements that are reasonably necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral to be assigned to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

ARTICLE VII

WAIVERS AND REMEDIES

Parent and the Borrower further agree that all of the terms and conditions of the Constituent Documents of the Borrower and any other similar documents and agreements of the Borrower that contradict or conflict with this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 7.05), shall be deemed waived, amended or superseded to the extent necessary to permit and reflect the terms of this Agreement.

16

Section 7.06Waivers.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 8.01Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. Parent hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under Applicable Law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Borrower, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten (10) days prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, Parent waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, Parent absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Parent hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

Section 8.02Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and other Lenders’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Parent acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent to (a) not incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) not obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) not exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Parent, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (g) hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Parent acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.02 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.02. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.02 shall be construed to grant any rights to Parent or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 8.02.

18

Section 8.03Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Parent hereby appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest), on behalf of the Secured Parties, or any Person, officer or agent whom the Administrative Agent may designate, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Parent and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to represent and vote any of the Equity Interests issued by the Borrower in its own name, at Parent’s cost and expense, to the extent reasonable, from time to time to take any action and to execute any instrument which may be reasonably necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, authority to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to Parent representing any distribution, interest payment or other payment in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be paid over to the Administrative Agent and to give full discharge for the same. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.03 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any of the rights as attorney-in-fact or proxy provided for in this Section 8.03(a) unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b)Parent hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof, in each case pursuant to the powers granted, and the restrictions on the exercise of such power provided, hereunder. Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no fiduciary duties to Parent in acting pursuant to this power-of-attorney and Parent hereby waives any claims or rights of a beneficiary of a fiduciary relationship hereunder.

(c)Parent shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and an irrevocable indorsement in blank in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C with respect to the Equity Interests of the Borrower owned by Parent.

Section 8.04Administrative Agent Performance of Parent’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, after the occurrence and during the continuance of (a) an Unmatured Event of Default, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines it to be necessary or advisable to preserve or protect the Collateral or (b) an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which Parent has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and Parent shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any reasonable amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.04. Parent’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Parent Guaranteed Obligation payable on demand.

19

Section 8.05Authorization for Administrative Agent to Take Certain Action. Parent irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (a) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, and (b) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Facility Document), and Parent agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, provided, that this authorization shall not relieve Parent of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or under any of the other Facility Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees not to exercise the power of attorney granted under this Section 8.05 except after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 8.06Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Parent acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.08, 5.09 or 6.02 hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of Parent contained in this Agreement, that the covenants of Parent contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.06 shall be specifically enforceable against Parent.

Section 8.07Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Parent or the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the remedies provided under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, until the Parent Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, Parent shall have no claim (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)) of subrogation to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent against any Person, the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or any guaranty held by the Administrative Agent for the satisfaction of any of the Obligations or the Parent Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall Parent have any claims (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)) for reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration or contribution from any Person in respect of payments made by Parent hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount shall be paid to Parent on account of such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration or contribution rights at any time before the Obligations or the Parent Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Parent in trust for the Administrative Agent segregated from other funds of Parent, and shall be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by Parent (duly endorsed by Parent to the Administrative Agent if required) to be applied against the Parent Guaranteed Obligations in such amounts and in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect.

Section 8.08Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Parent for liquidation or reorganization, should Parent become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Parent’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Parent Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

20

Section 8.09Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Parent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, except that Parent shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Parent Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien and other rights granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.

Section 8.10Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Parent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, the agreements and obligations of Parent contained in Section 8.08, Section 8.11, Section 8.15 and Section 8.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and payment in full of the Obligations and the Parent Guaranteed Obligations.

In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 8.13, upon Parent’s written request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to Parent, at Parent’s sole expense, all documents that Parent shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 8.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.14Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Facility Documents delivered on the date hereof embody the entire agreement and understanding between Parent and the Administrative Agent relating to the subject matter hereof and the Collateral and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, among Parent and the Administrative Agent relating to the subject matter hereof and the Collateral.

We are excited and optimistic about the potential this extended partnership holds for Sezzle’s future.”
