Subject to Section 9.18, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Notes and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Notes not paid on the Interest Payment Date for the Interest Period in which such interest accrued or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post‑petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable in accordance with Section 2.12(b) at a rate that is 3.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Notes (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 3.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder) (the "Default Interest Rate"). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event

of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Purchaser.

2.7 The Notes.

(a) The Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Each Note is a “security” governed by Article 8 of the UCC.

(b) The Notes shall be printed.

(c) Advances by a Purchaser shall increase the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Note of such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1. Payments of principal on a Note of a Purchaser shall decrease the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Note of such Purchaser. Each Purchaser shall make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on its internal records or on the grid attached to its respective Note (or on a continuation of such grid attached to such Note and made a part thereof), which notations shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of, and the interest rate applicable to, the Notes evidenced thereby. The notations on such internal records or on each such grid (and on each such continuation) indicating the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the applicable Note made by such Purchaser shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof owing and unpaid, but the failure to record any such amount, or any error therein, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or under any Note to make payment of principal of or interest on any such Note when due.

(d) All Notes shall be substantially identical except as to maximum Commitment Limit and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to this Section.

(e) Legends. Each Note issued hereunder will contain the following legend limiting sales to institutions that qualify both as "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and as "qualified purchasers" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended:

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE. THIS NOTE HAS BEEN OFFERED AND SOLD PRIVATELY. THE NOTE OWNER HEREOF ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE SECURITIES ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER AND ITS AFFILIATES THAT THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT TO A PERMITTED ASSIGNEE THAT IS BOTH (X) AN INSTITUTION THAT QUALIFIES AS AN "ACCREDITED

INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (Y) A "QUALIFIED PURCHASER" FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 3(C)(7) OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE “INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT”), PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT, AND IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(f) Execution, Delivery and Dating. (i) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile, (ii) the Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes, (iii) each Note shall be dated the date of its execution.

(g) Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange, Transfer Restrictions. (i) the Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes, the transfers of the Notes and the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and the Commitment Limits and the Notes of each Purchaser from time to time. The Register shall be available for inspection by Company or any Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Paying Agent shall record in the Register the Commitment Limits and the Notes, each repayment or prepayment in respect of the Principal Balance of the Notes, and the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company and each Purchaser, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Purchaser’s Commitment Limits or Company’s Obligations in respect of any Notes. The Paying Agent shall serve as "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein provided; (ii) upon surrender for registration of a permitted transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer, the Issuer shall execute and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and principal amounts; (iii) at the option of the Note owner, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of same Aggregate Outstanding Amount and maximum principal amounts, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange to the Issuer, the Issuer shall execute and deliver the Notes, which the Note owner making the exchange is entitled to receive; (iv) all Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange; (v) every Note presented or surrendered to the Issuer for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed, by the Note owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company, or by a member firm of a national securities exchange, and such other documents as the Issuer may require. The Issuer shall notify the Note Registrar of each transfer or exchange

of Notes; (vi) no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes; (vii) no Note owner of a Note shall transfer its Note unless such transfer is made (A)(I) to a Person who is both a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and who is an institution that qualifies as an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and (II) in accordance with (x) an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under Section 5 of the Securities Act, provided the Issuer is provided one or more certificates reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer certifying as to the matters set forth above and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer is so exempt, and (z) the registration and qualification requirements (or any applicable exemptions therefrom) under applicable state securities laws and (B) otherwise in accordance with this Agreement; and provided further than no such transfer shall be made until the Issuer shall have received appropriate certificates and other documentation described in Section 2.16(d) confirming that the transferee is completely exempt from all withholding taxes; and (viii) each initial Purchaser on the Closing Date and subsequent Purchasers shall execute and deliver to (1) the Issuer an Assignment Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and (2) the Note Registrar any applicable tax forms required by the Note Registrar and payment instructions for such transferee. Each Purchaser agrees, and hereby represents and warrants to the Company, that it is both a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and an institution that qualifies as an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and the beneficial interest in the Notes purchased by it will be acquired for investment only and not with a view to any public distribution thereof, and that such Note owner will not offer to sell or otherwise dispose of any Note acquired by it (or any interest therein) in violation of any of the requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state or other securities laws. Each Note owner acknowledges that it has no right to require the Issuer to register, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other securities law, the Notes (or the beneficial interest therein) acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement. Each Note owner hereby confirms and agrees that in connection with any transfer or syndication by it of an interest in the Notes, such Note owner has not engaged and will not engage in a general solicitation or general advertising including advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio or television, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Note Registrar shall not have any duty to verify that any transfer of the Notes was made in compliance with this subsection (g), the Securities Act or any other applicable laws, but the Note Registrar shall not register such transfer until the Issuer notifies the Paying Agent in writing that such transfer may be so registered. Company hereby designates the entity serving as the Paying Agent to serve as Company’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.7, and Company hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as the Paying Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute "Indemnitees".

(h) Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. (i) If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Issuer, the Issuer shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of

the same series and of like tenor and maximum principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there shall be delivered to the Issuer (x) evidence to the Issuer's satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (y) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Issuer and any of its agents, including the Paying Agent and Note Registrar, harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same series and of like tenor and Aggregate Outstanding Amount and maximum principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; (ii) in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note; (iii) upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Note Registrar) connected therewith; (iv) every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder; (v) the provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

(i) Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Paying Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Issuer or the Paying Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(j) Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, prepayment in whole, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Issuer, be delivered to the Issuer and shall be promptly cancelled by the Issuer. The Issuer may at any time cancel any Notes previously delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may cancel any Notes previously executed hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold. No Notes shall be executed and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Notes held by the Issuer shall be held or destroyed by the Issuer in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time. The Issuer shall provide the Paying Agent and Note Registrar with written notice of any Note cancellation hereunder.

2.8 Amortization Period End Date. Company shall repay the Notes in full on or before the Amortization Period End Date.

2.9 Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Company may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Commitment Limits in an amount up to the amount by which the Commitment Limits exceed the Total Utilization of Commitment Limits at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, any such partial reduction of the Commitment Limits shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(c) Company’s notice shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Commitment Limits shall be effective on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the Commitment Limit of each Purchaser proportionately to its applicable Pro Rata Share thereof.

(a) Company shall establish and maintain cash management systems reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, with respect to blocked account arrangements. Other than a cash management deposit account (the "Funding Account") maintained at the Paying Agent into which proceeds of Notes may be funded at the direction of Company, Company shall not establish or maintain a Deposit Account or Securities Account other than a Controlled Account and Company shall not, and shall cause Servicer not to deposit Collections or proceeds thereof in a Securities Account or Deposit Account which is not a Controlled Account (provided, that, inadvertent and non-reoccurring errors by Servicer in applying such Collections or proceeds that are promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after Servicer or Company has (or should have had in the exercise of reasonable diligence) knowledge thereof, cured shall not be considered a breach of this covenant). All Collections and proceeds of Collateral shall be subject to an express trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall be delivered to Purchasers for application to the Obligations or any other amount due under any other Funding Document as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) On or prior to the date hereof, Company shall cause to be established and maintained, (i) a trust account (or sub-accounts) in the name of Company and under the sole

dominion and control of, the Collateral Agent designated as the "Collection Account" in each case bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property credited thereto are held for Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and subject to the applicable Securities Account Control Agreement and (ii) a Deposit Account into which the proceeds of all Pledged Receivables, including by automatic debit from Receivables Obligors’ operating accounts, shall be deposited in the name of Company designated as the "Lockbox Account" as to which the Collateral Agent has sole dominion and control over such account for the benefit of the Secured Parties within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC pursuant to the Lockbox Account Control Agreement. The Lockbox Account Control Agreement will provide that all funds in the Lockbox Account will be swept daily into the Collection Account.

(i) Company has established pursuant to the Lockbox Account Control Agreement and the other Control Agreements for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a system of lockboxes and related accounts or deposit accounts as described in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) (the "Lockbox System") into which (subject to the proviso in Section 2.11(a)) all Collections shall be deposited.

(ii) Company shall have identified a method reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent to grant Backup Servicer (and its delegates) access to the Lockbox Account when the Backup Servicer has become the Successor Servicer in accordance with the Funding Documents, for purposes of initiating ACH transfers from Receivables Obligors’ operating accounts after the Credit Agreement Closing Date.

(iii) Company shall not establish any lockbox or lockbox arrangement without the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and prior to establishing any such lockbox or lockbox arrangement, Company shall cause each bank or financial institution with which it seeks to establish such a lockbox or lockbox arrangement, to enter into a control agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(iv) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Company shall not (A) change the general instructions given to the Servicer in respect of payments on account of Pledged Receivables to be deposited in the Lockbox System or (B) change any instructions given to any bank or financial institution which in any manner redirects any Collections or proceeds thereof in the Lockbox System to any account which is not a Controlled Account.

(v) Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) the funds on deposit in the Lockbox System shall continue to be collateral security for the Obligations secured thereby, and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of the Requisite Purchasers, the funds on deposit in the Lockbox System may be applied as provided in Section 2.12(b).

(vi) Company has directed, and will at all times hereafter direct, the Servicer to direct payment from each of the Receivables Obligors on account of Pledged Receivables directly to the Lockbox System. Company agrees (A) to instruct the Servicer to instruct each Receivables Obligor to make all payments with respect to Pledged Receivables directly to the Lockbox System and (B) promptly (and, except as set forth in the proviso to this Section 2.11(c)(vi), in no event later than two (2) Business Days following receipt) to deposit all payments received by it on account of Pledged Receivables, whether in the form of cash, checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders or otherwise, in the Lockbox System in precisely the form in which they are received (but with any endorsements of Company necessary for deposit or collection), and until they are so deposited to hold such payments in trust for and as the property of the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that with respect to any payment received that does not contain sufficient identification of the account number to which such payment relates or cannot be processed due to an act beyond the control of the Servicer, such deposit shall be made no later than the second Business Day following the date on which such account number is identified or such payment can be processed, as applicable.

(vii) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing, Company or its designee shall be permitted to direct the investment of the funds from time to time held in the Controlled Accounts (A) in Permitted Investments and to sell or liquidate such Permitted Investments and reinvest proceeds from such sale or liquidation in other Permitted Investments (but none of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers shall have liability whatsoever in respect of any failure by the Controlled Account Bank to do so), with all such proceeds and reinvestments to be held in the applicable Controlled Account; provided, however, that the maturity of the Permitted Investments on deposit in the Controlled Accounts shall be no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to this Agreement, (B) to repay the Notes in accordance with Section 2.1(b), provided, however, that (w) in order to effect any such repayment from a Controlled Account, Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and Paying Agent, a Controlled Account Voluntary Payment Notice in substantially the form of Exhibit K hereto no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the date of any such repayment specifying the date of prepayment, the amount to be repaid and the Controlled Account from which such repayment shall be made, (x) no more than three (3) fundings of Notes pursuant to Section 2.1 may be made in any calendar week, (y) the minimum amount of any such repayment on the Notes shall be $50,000, and (z) after giving effect to each such repayment, an amount equal to not less than the sum of (i) during any Reserve Account Funding Period, any Reserve Account Funding Amount and (ii) the aggregate of 105% of the aggregate pro forma amount of interest, fees and expenses projected to be due hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Successor Servicing Agreement, if any, for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period, based on the Accrued Interest Amount on such date and a projection of the interest to accrue on the Notes during the remainder of the applicable Interest Period using the same assumptions as are contained in the calculation of the Accrued Interest Amount, and the Total Utilization of Commitment Limits on such date (after giving effect to such repayments), shall remain

in the Controlled Accounts, or (C) to purchase additional Eligible Receivables pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, provided, that a Commitment Base Certificate (evidencing sufficient Availability after giving effect to the release of Collections and the funding of any Note being made on such date and that after giving effect to the release of Collections, no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes, or would result from such release that would constitute, a Commitment Base Deficiency, Default or Event of Default) and a Commitment Base Report shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent and the Custodian no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days in advance of any such proposed purchase or release, (x) if such purchase of Eligible Receivables were being funded with Notes, the conditions for funding such Note on such date contained in Section 3.2(a)(iii) and Section 3.2(a)(vi) would be satisfied as of such date, and provided further, that if such withdrawal from the Collection Account does not occur simultaneously with the funding of a Note by the Purchasers hereunder pursuant to the delivery of a Funding Notice, such withdrawal shall be considered a "Note" solely for purposes of Section 2.1(c)(iv) (y) no more than three (3) fundings of Notes pursuant to Section 2.1 may be made in any calendar week and (z) after giving effect to such release, an amount equal to not less than the sum of (i) during any Reserve Account Funding Period, any Reserve Account Funding Amount and (ii) the aggregate of 105% of the aggregate pro forma amount of interest, fees and expenses projected to be due hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Successor Servicing Agreement, if any, for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period, based on the Accrued Interest Amount on such date and a projection of the interest to accrue on the Notes during the remainder of the applicable Interest Period using the same assumptions as are contained in the calculation of the Accrued Interest Amount, and the Total Utilization of Commitment Limits on such date shall remain in the Controlled Accounts.

(viii) All income and gains from the investment of funds in the Controlled Accounts shall be retained in the respective Controlled Account from which they were derived, until each Interest Payment Date, at which time such income and gains shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(a) or (b) (or, if sooner, until utilized for a repayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(vii)(B) or a purchase of additional Eligible Receivables pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(vii)(C)), as the case may be. As between Company and Collateral Agent, Company shall treat all income, gains and losses from the investment of amounts in the Controlled Accounts as its income or loss for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

(d) Reserve Account. On or prior to the date hereof, Company shall cause to be established and maintained a Deposit Account in the name of Company designated as the "Reserve Account" as to which the Collateral Agent has control over such account for the benefit of the Purchasers within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC pursuant to the Blocked Account Control Agreement. The Reserve Account will be funded during a Reserve Account Funding Period with funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.12(a). At any time after the giving of a Termination Notice by the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent shall at the written direction of the Administrative Agent withdraw from time to time up to an aggregate amount of $100,000 from the Reserve Account to pay Servicing Transition Expenses during the Servicing Transition

Period. On the first Interest Payment Date after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Paying Agent shall at the written direction of the Administrative Agent transfer into the Collection Account for application on such Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.12(b) the amount by which the amount in the Reserve Account exceeds the excess, if any, of $100,000 over the aggregate amount previously withdrawn from the Reserve Account to pay Servicing Transition Expenses. If the first Interest Payment Date after the end of a Servicing Transition Period is during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Paying Agent shall at the written direction of the Administrative Agent transfer into the Collection Account for application on such Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.12(b) all amounts in the Reserve Account. If, after the first Reserve Account Funding Event to occur hereunder, a Reserve Account Funding Event Cure occurs, on the next Interest Payment Date after the occurrence of such Reserve Account Funding Event Cure the Paying Agent shall, at the direction of Company, transfer all amounts in the Reserve Account into the Collection Account for application on such Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.12(a). For the avoidance of doubt, only one Reserve Account Funding Event Cure shall be permitted hereunder.

2.12 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Application of Amounts in the Collection Account. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (after giving effect to the application of funds in accordance herewith on the relevant date) and the Variable Termination Date has not yet occurred, on each Interest Payment Date, all amounts in the Controlled Accounts (other than the Reserve Account) shall be applied by the Paying Agent based on the Monthly Servicing Report as follows:

(iii) third, on a pro rata basis, to the Purchasers to pay costs, fees, and accrued interest on the Notes and expenses and interest thereon payable pursuant to the Funding Documents;

(iv) fourth, on a pro rata basis, to the Purchasers in an amount necessary to reduce any Commitment Base Deficiency to zero;

(v) fifth, to pay to Administrative Agent, Paying Agent, Collateral Agent and the Controlled Account Bank any costs, fees or indemnities not paid in accordance with clause (ii) above;

(vi) sixth, during a Reserve Account Funding Period, to the Reserve Account an amount equal to any Reserve Account Funding Amount;

(iii) third, on a pro rata basis, to the Purchasers to pay costs, fees, and accrued interest (including any additional interest accruing under Section 2.6) on the Notes and expenses and interest thereon payable pursuant to the Funding Documents;

(iv) fourth, on a pro rata basis, to the Purchasers until the Notes are paid in full;

(v) fifth, to pay all other Obligations or any other amount then due and payable hereunder; and

Purchasers hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Notes funded and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set‑off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Funding Documents, or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Purchaser hereunder or under the other Funding Documents (collectively, the "Aggregate Amounts Due" to such Purchaser) which is greater than such Purchaser would be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, then the Purchaser receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent, Paying Agent and each Purchaser of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Purchasers so that the recovery of such Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by the applicable Purchasers in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them pursuant to this Agreement; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Purchaser is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Purchaser ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Affected Party shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Affected Party with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the Closing Date (or with respect to any Purchaser which becomes a Purchaser after the date hereof, effective after such date) by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi‑Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Funding Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other

reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC or other insurance or charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Party; or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Affected Party of entering into this Agreement, funding or maintaining Notes hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, if such Affected Party deems such change to be material, Company shall promptly pay to such Affected Party, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Affected Party in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Affected Party for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder and any reasonable expenses related thereto. Such Affected Party shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent and Paying Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Affected Party under this Section 2.15(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Affected Party shall have determined in its sole discretion (which determination shall, absent manifest effort, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (i) the adoption, effectiveness, phase‑in or applicability of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Affected Party with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Affected Party or any company controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Affected Party’s Notes or Commitment Limits, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Notes to a level below that which such Affected Party or such controlling company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase‑in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Company from such Affected Party of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party or such controlling company on an after‑tax basis for such reduction. Such Affected Party shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent and Paying Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Affected Party under this Section 2.15(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.15 shall apply, without limitation, to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any Governmental Authority (x) under or in connection with the

implementation of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended to the date hereof and from time to time hereafter, and any successor statute and (y) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(c) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party's right to demand such compensation, provided that Company shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than thirty (30) days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies Company of the matters giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party's intention to claim compensation therefor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15, with respect to any Affected Party that is not a bank or a broker-dealer, the Company shall not be required to pay any increased costs under this Section 2.15 if the payment of such increased cost would cause the Company’s all-in cost of funding hereunder, for the applicable period to be in excess of the LIBO Rate plus 7.5%.

2.16 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. Subject to Section 2.16(b), all sums payable by Company hereunder and under the other Funding Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States or any political subdivision in or of the United States or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of Company or by any federation or organization of which the United States or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

(b) Withholding of Taxes.

any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Paying Agent evidence satisfactory to the other Affected Parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

Company shall indemnify each Affected Party, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Company by an Affected Party (with a copy to the Paying Agent), or by the Paying Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) Each Purchaser that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a "Non‑US Purchaser") shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Paying Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Purchaser listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Purchaser (in the case of each other Purchaser), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Company or Paying Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX or W-8IMY, as applicable (with appropriate attachments) (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Purchaser, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to establish that such Purchaser is not subject to, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Purchaser of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Funding Documents, or (B) if such Purchaser is not a "bank" or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or W‑8ECI pursuant to clause (A) above and is relying on the so called "portfolio interest exception", a Certificate Regarding Non‑Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Purchaser, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to establish that such Purchaser is not subject, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Purchaser of interest payable under any of the Funding Documents. Each Purchaser required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.16(d)(i) or Section 2.16(d)(ii) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Purchaser of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in

any material respect, that such Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Paying Agent for transmission to Company two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W‑8IMY, or W‑8ECI, or, if relying on the "portfolio interest exception", a Certificate Regarding Non‑Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Purchaser, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to confirm or establish that such Purchaser is not subject to, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Purchaser under the Funding Documents, or notify Paying Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(ii) Any Purchaser that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Company and the Paying Agent on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement on the Closing Date or pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Company or the Paying Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is a U.S. Person and exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(iii) If a payment made to a Purchaser under any Funding Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser 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 Purchaser shall deliver to Company and the Paying Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by Company or the Paying 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 Company or the Paying Agent as may be necessary for Company and the Paying Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(d)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

2.17 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Purchaser agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Purchaser responsible for administering its Notes becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Purchaser to become an Affected Purchaser or that would entitle such Purchaser to receive payments under Section 2.15 and/or Section 2.16, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Purchaser and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Note Fundings through another office of such Purchaser, or (b) take such other measures as such Purchaser may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts

which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Purchaser pursuant to 2.15 and/or 2.16 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Purchaser in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitment Limits or Notes through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitment Limits or Notes or the interests of such Purchaser; provided, such Purchaser will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.17 unless Company agrees to pay all reasonable and incremental expenses incurred by such Purchaser as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to this Section 2.17 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Purchaser to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Purchaser granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Purchaser to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Note or Physical Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post‑default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment Limit shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment Limit or Note shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Funding Documents) supporting the Notes hereunder in which such participant is participating. Company agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 or 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Purchaser would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, 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, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with Company’s prior written consent, and (ii) a participant that would be a Non‑US Purchaser if it were a Purchaser shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless Company (through a Designated Officer) is notified of the participation at the time it is sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with Section 2.16 as though it were a Purchaser. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.4 as though it were a Purchaser, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Purchaser. Any Purchaser that sells such a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, 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 such participation and other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person other than Company (through a Designated Officer), including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest or obligations under any Funding Document, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, Note 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 Purchaser 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 Paying Agent (in its capacity as Paying Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by Company at

any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent (in its capacity as Paying Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Designated Officer of Company at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Company shall not disclose the identity of any Participant of any Purchaser or any information relating to such Participant's interest or obligation to any Person, provided that Company may make (1) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Purchaser and to their agents and advisors provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and will be instructed to keep such information confidential, and (2) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Company shall make reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Purchaser of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of Company by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non‑public information prior to disclosure of such information.

(i) Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 9.6 any Purchaser may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Notes, the other Obligations owed by or to such Purchaser, and its Physical Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Purchaser including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Purchaser, as between Company and such Purchaser, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a "Purchaser" or be entitled to require the assigning Purchaser to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

9.7 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

9.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Note Funding. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Company set forth in Sections 2.15, 2.16, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.10, the agreements of Purchasers set forth in Sections 2.14 and 8.6 shall survive the payment of the Notes and the termination hereof.

9.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Purchaser in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Funding Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right

or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Purchaser hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Funding Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

9.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Purchaser shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Company or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations or any other amount due hereunder. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Purchasers (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Purchasers), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Purchasers enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

9.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Physical Note or other Funding Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

9.12 Obligations Several; Actions in Concert. The obligations of Purchasers hereunder are several and no Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Purchaser hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Funding Document, and no action taken by Purchasers pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Anything in this Agreement or any other Funding Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Purchaser hereby agrees with each other Purchaser that no Purchaser shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any Physical Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of the applicable Agent (other than the Paying Agent) or Requisite Purchasers (as applicable), it being the intent of Purchasers that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and any Physical Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Requisite Purchasers (as applicable).

9.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

9.14 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND

SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 9.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER FUNDING DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE NOTES FUNDED HEREUNDER.

9.17 Confidentiality. Each Agent and Purchaser shall hold all non‑public information regarding Holdings and its Affiliates and their businesses obtained by such Purchaser or Agent confidential and shall not disclose information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Company that, in any event, a Purchaser or Agent may make (a) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Purchaser or Agent and to their agents, auditors, attorneys and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Purchaser or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 9.17) provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to keep, or with respect to the Collateral Agent and Paying Agent will be instructed to keep, such information confidential, provided, further that no disclosure shall be made to any Person that is a Direct Competitor or, with respect to the Collateral Agent and Paying Agent only, any Person that the Collateral Agent and/or Paying Agent has actual knowledge is a Direct Competitor, (b) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Purchaser of any Notes or any participations therein, provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to keep such information confidential pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O, (c) disclosure

to any rating agency when required by it provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to keep, or with respect to the Collateral Agent and Paying Agent will be instructed to keep, such information confidential, (d) disclosures required by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by any regulatory body or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Purchaser or Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Company of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Purchaser or Agent by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non‑public information prior to disclosure of such information, and (e) any other disclosure authorized by the Company in writing in advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of any information that is or becomes publicly known or information obtained by a Purchaser or Agent from sources other than the Company other than as a result of a disclosure by an Agent or Purchaser in violation of this Section 9.17, and (ii) on or after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent may, at its own expense issue news releases and publish "tombstone" advertisements and other announcements generally describing this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of Company or Holdings) (collectively, "Trade Announcements"). Company shall not issue, and shall cause Holdings not to issue, any Trade Announcement using the name of any Agent or Purchaser, or their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Funding Documents, or the transactions contemplated thereunder except (x) disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or (y) with the prior approval of Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that Holdings is a public company, and that the securities laws of the United States (as well as applicable stock exchange regulations) prohibit any Person who has material, non-public information concerning Holdings from purchasing or selling Holdings’ securities when in possession of such material, non-public information and from communicating such material, non-public information to any other Person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such material, non-public information.

9.18 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Notes funded hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Notes funded hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount

equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Purchasers and Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Purchaser contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Purchaser’s option be applied to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes funded hereunder or be refunded to Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Purchaser exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

9.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.20 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

9.21 Patriot Act. Each Purchaser and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Purchaser) hereby notifies Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Company, which information includes the name and address of Company and other information that will allow such Purchaser or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Company in accordance with the Act.
