Prior thereto principal of the U.S. Loans shall be due on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Amortization Amount for such Payment Date and on each Quarterly Payment Date in an amount equal to the Amortization Catch-Up Amount for such Quarterly Payment Date (applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments); provided, that the Borrower may, no later than the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such request, a “Revenue Sweep Waiver Request”), request that the Amortization Catch-Up Amount with respect to the Scooters for the immediately succeeding Quarterly Payment Date be equal to any amount less than the required amount thereof (including, without limitation, $0), and the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower in writing within five (5) Business Days (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) of receipt of such Revenue Sweep Waiver Request as to whether it has, in its sole discretion, agreed to or rejected such Revenue Sweep Waiver Request; provided, that, if the Administrative Agent has not responded to the Borrower with respect to such Revenue Sweep Waiver Request within ten (10) Business Days, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have rejected such request. The Borrower may also repay the U.S. Loans in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02(e). (d) The outstanding principal amount of all EMEA Loans shall become immediately due and payable in full on the Final Maturity Date. Prior thereto, principal of the EMEA Loans shall be due in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02(f) and on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the EMEA Amortization Amount for such Payment Date and on each Quarterly Payment Date in an amount equal to the Amortization Catch-Up Amount for such Quarterly Payment Date (applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments); provided, that the Borrower may, no later than the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such request, an “EMEA Revenue Sweep Waiver Request”), request that the Amortization Catch-Up Amount with respect to the EMEA Scooters for the immediately succeeding Quarterly Payment Date be equal to any amount less than the required amount thereof (including, without limitation, $0), and the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower in writing within five (5) Business Days (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) of receipt of such EMEA Revenue Sweep Waiver Request as to whether it has, in its sole discretion, agreed to or rejected such EMEA Revenue Sweep Waiver Request; provided, that, if the Administrative Agent has not responded to the Borrower with respect to such EMEA Revenue Sweep Waiver Request within ten (10) Business Days, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have rejected such request. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent may agree to an EMEA Revenue Sweep Waiver Request without agreeing to a Revenue Sweep Waiver Request or, alternatively,


 
22 US-DOCS\130633316.10 agree to a Revenue Sweep Waiver Request without agreeing to an EMEA Revenue Sweep Waiver Request. The Borrower may also repay the EMEA Loans in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02(e). (e) The Borrower may from time to time, with at least two (2) Business Days prior delivery to the Administrative Agent of an appropriately completed Payment Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, prepay at the Borrower’s election either the U.S. Loans or the EMEA Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that each such prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $25,000 and shall be accompanied by any accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount prepaid and any applicable Fees. Principal payments shall continue in accordance with the Priority of Payments, notwithstanding any partial prepayment of the Loans. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Lenders (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing) any amounts received in respect of an optional prepayment in accordance with this Section 2.02(e). (f) On any day on which the outstanding principal balance of the EMEA Loans is equal to $5,000,000 or less, the Borrower shall, within ten (10) calendar days of such date, prepay the EMEA Loans in whole, without premium or penalty, together with any accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount prepaid and any applicable Fees; provided that the foregoing shall not apply until the date on which the aggregate EMEA Credit Extensions hereunder exceed $5,000,000. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Lenders (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing) any amounts received in respect of a mandatory prepayment in accordance with this Section 2.02(f). Upon any prepayment pursuant to the foregoing sentence of this Section 2.02(f), the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account an amount equal to the Pre-Funding Payment (as defined in the EMEA Intercompany Loan Agreement) paid on the immediately preceding Pre-Funding Date (as defined in the EMEA Intercompany Loan Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the EMEA Intercompany Loan Agreement (such amount so withdrawn, the “EMEA Clean-Down Released Amount”) and apply the same as permitted by Section 3.01. SECTION 2.03. Interest and Fees. (a) The Loans shall accrue Interest on each day at the then applicable Interest Rate. The Borrower shall pay all Interest accrued during each Interest Period on the immediately following Payment Date. Interest shall be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments. (b) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender and the Administrative Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements among the Borrower, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent (each as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Fee Letter”). SECTION 2.04. Records of Loans. Each Lender shall record in its records the date and amount of the U.S. Loans and/or EMEA Loans made by such Lender hereunder, the Interest Rate with respect thereto, the Interest accrued thereon, and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 14.03(b), such records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amount of the obligations recorded therein. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay to each Lender the applicable Loans, together with all Interest accruing thereon, and all other Borrower Obligations.

SECTION 3.02. Reserve Account. The Borrower shall establish and maintain the Reserve Account. The Borrower shall maintain therein amounts allocated thereto pursuant to the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date.

SECTION 3.03. Collections. The Borrower shall deposit all Collections into the Collection Account. ARTICLE IV SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES AND PAYMENT PROVISIONS SECTION 4.01. Priority of Payments.

24 US-DOCS\130633316.10 such Lender for the immediately preceding Interest Period, plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Interest payable for any prior Interest Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to each such Lender, and any interest accrued pursuant to Section 4.02(b), to the extent unpaid; (iv) fourth, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing) (A) if an Event of Default is continuing on such Payment Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, or (B) if an Event of Default is not continuing on such Payment Date, the Amortization Amount and the EMEA Amortization Amount, on a ratable basis, for such Payment Date; (v) fifth, if such Payment Date is a Quarterly Payment Date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), the Amortization Catch-Up Amount (calculated after giving effect to the proviso in Section 2.02(c)), if any, to be applied first to the EMEA Loans, until the outstanding principal amount of the EMEA Loans is $0, and then to the U.S. Loans, until the outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Loans is $0; provided, that, solely with respect to the Quarterly Payment Date on which the outstanding principal amount of the EMEA Loans is reduced to $0 in accordance with this paragraph, the remaining amount of such Amortization Catch-Up Amount that is applied in accordance with this paragraph to pay down the U.S. Loans shall not exceed $4,000,000; (vi) sixth, if on such Payment Date the balance of the Reserve Account is less than the Required Reserve Amount, to the Reserve Account an amount equal to the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between the Required Reserve Amount and the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account; and (vii) seventh, the balance, if any, to be paid at the direction of the Borrower. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to distribute or pay any amount under this Section 4.01 except to the extent actually received by the Administrative Agent or available to the Administrative Agent from funds on deposit in the Collection Account. All payments or distributions to be made by any Credit Party and any other Person to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or their respective related Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties), shall be paid or distributed to the applicable party to which such amounts are owed. (c) If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affected Person or any Borrower Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to any Person (including any Credit Party or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Borrower and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Affected Person or such Borrower Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Borrower for such amount. SECTION 4.02. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affected Person or any Borrower Indemnified Party hereunder shall be paid no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the applicable party to which such amounts are due.


 
25 US-DOCS\130633316.10 (b) The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.00% per annum above the then applicable Interest Rate, payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments or otherwise on written demand. (c) All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Interest, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit. ARTICLE V INCREASED COSTS; FUNDING LOSSES; TAXES; ILLEGALITY; SECURITY INTEREST SECTION 5.01. Increased Costs. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Affected Person; (ii) subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (except to the extent such Taxes are (A) Indemnified Taxes for which relief is sought under Section 5.03, (B) Taxes described in clause (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes; the Taxes described in this parenthetical, “Covered Taxes”) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Affected Person any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) (A) affecting the Collateral, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Loan or any participation therein or (B) affecting its obligations or rights to make Loans; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder, (B) funding or maintaining any Loan or (C) maintaining its obligation to fund or maintain any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder, then, upon request of such Affected Person, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall reasonably determine that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency adopted or otherwise taking effect after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such


 
26 US-DOCS\130633316.10 Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor. (c) [Reserved]. (d) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Person setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Payment Date occurring after the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate; provided, that any such certificate shall state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Affected Person’s method of allocation is not inconsistent with its method of allocation used for other trade receivable securitization facilities or debt facilities which are subject to similar provisions for which reimbursement is being sought. (e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.


 
27 US-DOCS\130633316.10 SECTION 5.02. LIBOR Rate. (a) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to any Change in Law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws or changes in law with respect to Covered Taxes) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (I) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (II) repay the Loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate with respect to which such adjustment is made. (b) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to maintain Loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate or to continue such maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender, (i) in the case of the pro rata share of the Loans held by such Lender and then outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such portion of the Loans, and interest upon such portion thereafter shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) such portion of the Loans shall continue to accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to maintain such Loans at the LIBOR Rate. (c) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the LIBOR Rate. (d) In connection with the any replacement of the Base LIBOR Rate as contemplated in the definition thereof, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Replacement Conforming Changes and amendments implementing such LIBOR Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Credit Parties and the Lenders of (i) replacement of the Base LIBOR Rate as contemplated in the definition thereof and (ii) the effectiveness of any LIBOR Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent in connection with any replacement of the Base LIBOR Rate, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent will cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate any modification to this Agreement or the credit extensions made connection therewith (as contemplated by this Section 5.02) in a manner that does not result in a deemed exchange of such credit extensions under Section 1001 of the Code.


 
28 US-DOCS\130633316.10 SECTION 5.03. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and if any such withholding or deduction is in respect of any Indemnified Taxes, then the Borrower shall pay such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent (for amounts received for its own account) and each Lender will equal the full amount the Administrative Agent and such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been required (including, without limitation, such withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03). After payment of any Tax by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Borrower shall promptly forward to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority. (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, within ten (10) days after demand thereof, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender and any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.03(d)(i), 5.03(d)(ii) and 5.03(f) below) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


 
29 US-DOCS\130633316.10 (i) Each Lender that is not a "United States person" (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is a party hereto on the Closing Date or purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 14.03 after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) (each such Lender a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: (A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, two (2) properly completed and executed originals of United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Documents, two (2) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty; (B) two (2) executed originals of Form W-8ECI (or successor form); (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two (2) executed originals of IRS Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form); (D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or (E) other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the IRS. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. In addition, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). (ii) Each Lender that is a "United States person" (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is a party hereto on the Closing Date or purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 14.03 after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder


 
30 US-DOCS\130633316.10 immediately prior to such assignment) shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), a properly completed and executed IRS Form W- 9 or any successor form certifying as to such Lender's entitlement to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the IRS or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Each such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that any certificate previously delivered to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. governmental authorities for such purposes) is no longer valid. (iii) Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. (iv) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower , on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, a duly completed IRS Form W-8, with the effect that the Borrower may make payments to the Administrative Agent, to the extent such payments are received by the Administrative Agent as an intermediary, without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States (and the Administrative Agent will serve as a U.S. withholding agent (and complete associated reporting responsibilities) with respect to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 withholding on amounts paid to the Administrative Agent in respect of the Loans (or any other amounts payable hereunder). (e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.3), then it shall promptly pay an amount equal to such refund to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or of the Administrative Agent with respect thereto, including any Taxes; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the written request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay any amount paid over to the Borrower to such Lender or to the Administrative Agent (plus any related penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required, for any reason, to disgorge or otherwise repay such refund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.3, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 5.3 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

53 US-DOCS\130633316.10 ARTICLE XI THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SECTION 11.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as the Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 14.01 and to the terms of the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents on behalf of Lenders. Except for Sections 11.09, 11.12, and 11.14 the provisions of this Article XI are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any other Credit Party. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Transaction Documents, by or through its agents, servicers, trustees, investment managers or employees. SECTION 11.02. The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Transaction Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. SECTION 11.03. Action by the Administrative Agent. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. SECTION 11.04. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. SECTION 11.05. Liability of the Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, trustees, investment managers, servicers or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Transaction Documents, except that the Administrative Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, trustees, investment managers, servicers or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Transaction Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Transaction Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Transaction Document; (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Transaction Document, any Lien


 
54 US-DOCS\130633316.10 purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). SECTION 11.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, in accordance with its pro rata share of the total unfunded Commitment and funded Loans hereunder, indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that the Administrative Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by the Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished. SECTION 11.07. Right to Request and Act on Instructions. The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Transaction Documents the Administrative Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Transaction Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of the Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate Applicable Law or exposes the Administrative Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06. SECTION 11.08. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Transaction Documents. SECTION 11.09. Collateral Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative


 
55 US-DOCS\130633316.10 Agent under any Security Document (a) upon termination of the Loans and payment in full of all Borrower Obligations; or (b) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Transaction Document, including pursuant to Section 8.01(s) (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.09. If the Administrative Agent receives Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Scooters, it shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account for application in accordance with the Priority of Payments. If the Administrative Agent receives Insurance Proceeds in respect of any scooter vehicles other than the Scooters, or any asset that is not Collateral, it shall promptly transfer such Insurance Proceeds to the Parent. SECTION 11.10. Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions or transfer control to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any security interest hereunder or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by the Administrative Agent (or consented to by the Administrative Agent), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Administrative Agent. SECTION 11.11. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Credit Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Event Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Event Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders. SECTION 11.12. Assignment by the Administrative Agent; Resignation of the Administrative Agent; Successor the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time assign its rights, powers, privileges and duties hereunder to (i) another Lender, or (ii) any Person to whom the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, has assigned (or will assign, in conjunction with such assignment of agency rights hereunder) 50% or more of its Loans, in each case without the consent of the Lenders or the Borrower. Following any such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. An assignment by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not be deemed a resignation by the Administrative Agent for purposes of subsection (b) below.


 
56 US-DOCS\130633316.10 (b) Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent to designate an assignee pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor the Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within ten (10) Business Days after the retiring the Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring the Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice from the Administrative Agent that no Person has accepted such appointment and, from and following delivery of such notice, (i) the retiring the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Lenders appoint a successor the Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. (c) Upon (i) an assignment permitted by subsection (a) above, or (ii) the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (b) above, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) the Administrative Agent, and the retiring the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor the Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring the Administrative Agent and its sub- agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring the Administrative Agent was acting or was continuing to act as the Administrative Agent. SECTION 11.13. Payment and Sharing of Payment. (a) On the date of any Credit Extension, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may elect to advance to the Borrower the full amount of the Loan to be made on such date prior to receiving funds from Lenders, in reliance upon each Lender’s commitment to make its Loan Commitment Percentage of the applicable Loan to the Borrower in a timely manner on such date. If the Administrative Agent elects to advance the applicable Loan to the Borrower in such manner, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive all interest that accrues on the date of any such Credit Extension on each Lender’s Loan Commitment Percentage of the applicable Loan unless the Administrative Agent receives such Lender’s Loan Commitment Percentage of the applicable Loan before 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of any such Credit Extension. (b) It is understood that for purposes of advances to the Borrower made pursuant to this Section 11.13, the Administrative Agent will be using the funds of the Administrative Agent, and pending settlement, all interest accruing on such advances shall be payable to the Administrative Agent. (c) The provisions of this Section 11.13 shall be deemed to be binding upon the Administrative Agent and Lenders notwithstanding the occurrence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default, or any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding pertaining to the Borrower or any other Credit Party.


 
57 US-DOCS\130633316.10 SECTION 11.14. Loan Payments. Payments of principal, interest and fees in respect of the Loans will be settled on the date of receipt if received by the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of a month or on the Business Day immediately following the date of receipt if received on any day other than the last Business Day of a month. SECTION 11.15. Return of Payments. (a) If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate. (b) If the Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. SECTION 11.16. Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 5.03(e)) in excess of its pro rata share of the total funded Loans hereunder of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 11.16, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter required to be returned or otherwise recovered from such purchasing Lender, such portion of such purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such return or recovery, without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 11.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 14.16) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation). If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 11.16 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 11.16 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. SECTION 11.17. Right to Perform, Preserve, and Protect. If any Credit Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at the Borrower’s expense. The Administrative Agent is further authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders to make expenditures from time to time which the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by the Borrower, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, and/or (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Borrower Obligations. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on


 
58 US-DOCS\130633316.10 demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.17. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.17, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06. SECTION 11.18. Adjustment to Face Amount of Letter of Credit. Upon any request from any of the Bird Parties to adjust the face amount of the Letter of Credit pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.1.8 of the Scooter Lease, the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly consent to any such adjustment and to promptly take any other actions (including executing any amendments to such Letter of Credit) necessary to effectuate such adjustment to the face amount of the Letter of Credit. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to provide any consent to and to take any other actions described in this Section 11.18 with respect to the Letter of Credit. ARTICLE XII [RESERVED] ARTICLE XIII INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 13.01. Indemnities by the Borrower. (a) Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Affected Persons and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Borrower Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Borrower Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including Attorney Costs (excluding the allocated costs of in house counsel and limited to not more than one firm of counsel for all such Borrower Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Borrower Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, of another firm of counsel for such affected Borrower Indemnified Party)) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Borrower Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of the Loans or the security interest in respect of any of the Collateral; excluding, however, (i) Borrower Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Borrower Indemnified Amounts resulted solely from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Borrower Indemnified Party seeking indemnification and (ii) Borrower Indemnified Amounts to the extent arising from a claim, action, litigation, investigation, or other proceeding that does not arise from any act or omission by any Bird Transaction Party or any officer, partner, director, trustee, employee, or agent of any Bird Transaction Party and that is brought by any Borrower Indemnified Party against another Borrower Indemnified Party (other than any such claim, action, litigation, investigation, or other proceeding brought against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such). (b) [Reserved]. (c) If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Borrower Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to such Borrower Indemnified Party the amount paid or payable by such Borrower Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Borrower and its Affiliates on the one hand and such Borrower Indemnified Party on the


 
59 US-DOCS\130633316.10 other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Borrower and its Affiliates and such Borrower Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Borrower may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to each Borrower Indemnified Party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Borrower and the Borrower Indemnified Parties. (d) Any indemnification or contribution under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 13.01 and Section 14.04 shall not apply to claims for Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes. ARTICLE XIV MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 14.01. Amendments, Etc. (a) No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, also signed by the Credit Parties), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender or Credit Party, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in order to implement any replacement of the Base LIBOR Rate as contemplated in the definition thereof or any LIBOR Replacement Conforming Changes or otherwise effectuate the terms of this Section 14.01 in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.01. SECTION 14.02. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile and email communication) and faxed, emailed or delivered, to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on Schedule V hereto or at such other address, facsimile number or email address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile or email shall be effective when sent receipt confirmed by electronic or other means (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return electronic mail or other acknowledgement), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received. SECTION 14.03. Assignability; Addition of Lenders. (a) Assignment by Lenders. Each Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Lender (other than a Disqualified Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, (A) all or a portion of its unfunded Commitment hereunder without the necessity of transferring any portion of any Loan funded by such Lender or other obligations owed to it hereunder, or (B) all or a portion of any Loan funded by such Lender or other obligations owed


 
60 US-DOCS\130633316.10 to it hereunder without the necessity of transferring any portion of its unfunded Commitment hereunder); provided, however, that (i) except for an assignment by a Lender to either an Affiliate of such Lender or any other Lender, each such assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that such consent shall be deemed to be given if the Borrower does not respond within five (5) Business Days of a request for consent; and provided, further, that such consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement, and to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). (b) Register. The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to on Schedule V of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitment of each Lender and the aggregate outstanding principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Credit Parties or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (c) Procedure. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed and delivered by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee or assignee Lender, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Credit Parties. (d) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or the interests in the Loans owned by it); provided, however, that


 
61 US-DOCS\130633316.10 (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, and (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Credit Parties shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Credit Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01 and 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) 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 5.01 or 5.03, 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 Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. (e) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Credit Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (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 or its other obligations under any this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (f) Assignments by Administrative Agent. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent herein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns; provided, that (i) the Administrative Agent may not assign to a Disqualified Institution and (ii) in the case of an assignment to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignment shall require the Credit Parties’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (g) Assignments by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties may not assign any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (such consent to be provided or withheld in the sole discretion of such Person). (h) Pledge to Secure Obligations of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to secure obligations of such Lender to any Person providing any extension of credit or financial arrangement to or for the account of such Lender or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee, or representative of such Person (without notice to or the consent of the Credit Parties, any other


 
62 US-DOCS\130633316.10 Lender, or the Administrative Agent); provided, that no such pledge shall relieve such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such pledgee for such Lender as a party hereto. SECTION 14.04. Costs and Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 13.01 hereof, the Credit Parties agree to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of- pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (together with all amendments, restatements, supplements, consents and waivers, if any, from time to time hereto and thereto), including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket Attorney Costs for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (ii) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket accountants’, auditors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates incurred in connection with the administration and maintenance of this Agreement or advising the Administrative Agent or any Lender as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement or as to any actual or reasonably claimed breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented Attorney Costs), of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their respective rights or remedies under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. SECTION 14.05. Invoices for Indemnified Amounts. To the extent invoiced to the Borrower at least seven (7) Business Days prior to a Payment Date, any indemnification amounts under this Agreement shall be paid pursuant to the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date (it being agreed and understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that if any such amount is invoiced less than seven (7) Business Days prior to a Payment Date, such amount shall be paid on the next Payment Date). SECTION 14.06. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Credit Parties covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement or the Fee Letter (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement, the Fee Letter or any other Transaction Document or the identity of the Administrative Agent or any Lender), except as the Administrative Agent and each Lender may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure; provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors and Representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Credit Parties, the Parent or their Advisors and Representatives or (iii) to the extent it should be (A) required by Applicable Law, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that in the case of clause (iii) above, the Credit Parties will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender of their intention to make any such disclosure prior to making such disclosure. Each of the Credit Parties agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section by its Representatives and Advisors and agrees that its Representatives and Advisors will be advised by it of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to comply with this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates may publish a press release or otherwise publicly announce the existence and principal amount of the Commitments under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review such press release or other public announcement prior to its release and provide comment thereon; and provided, further, that no such press release shall name or otherwise identify the Administrative Agent, any Lender,


 
63 US-DOCS\130633316.10 or any of their respective Affiliates without such Person’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, severally and with respect to itself only, agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, any confidential and proprietary information concerning the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates and their businesses or the terms of this Agreement (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), except as the Credit Parties may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure; provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors and Representatives, (ii) to its assignees and Participants and potential assignees and Participants and their respective counsel if they agree in writing to hold it confidential, (iii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through it or its Representatives or Advisors, (iv) at the request of a bank examiner or other regulatory authority or in connection with an examination of any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or their respective Affiliates or (v) to the extent it should be (A) required by Applicable Law, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that in the case of clause (v) above, the Administrative Agent and each Lender will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Credit Parties of its making any such disclosure as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter.
