THIS RECEIVABLES FUNDING AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 25, 2020 by and among REXNORD FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions signatory hereto from time to time as lenders (the “Lenders”), and MIZUHO BANK, LTD., as a Lender and as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

RECITALS

A. The Borrower is a special purpose limited liability company the sole member of which is RBS Global, Inc. (in such capacity, the “Member”).

B. The Borrower was formed for the purpose of purchasing, or otherwise acquiring by capital contribution, Receivables of the Originators party to the Sale Agreement.

C. The Borrower intends to fund its purchases of the Receivables, in part, by borrowing Advances and obtaining Letters of Credit hereunder and pledging all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables as security therefor, and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders intend to make such Advances and incur Letter of Credit Obligations, from time to time.

D. The Administrative Agent has been requested and is willing to act as administrative agent on behalf of each of the Lenders in connection with the making and financing of such Advances and the incurrence of such Letter of Credit Obligations.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

Section 1.01. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex X.

Section 1.02. Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Annex X shall govern. All Appendices hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement.

ARTICLE II.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF ADVANCES

Section 2.01. Revolving Credit Advances.

(a) Revolving Credit Advances. (i) From and after the Effective Date and until the Commitment Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of Revolving Credit Advances to the Borrower from time to time. The

Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances made by each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances made by each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing Base. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.06(c), no Lender shall make any Revolving Credit Advances if, after giving effect thereto, a Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(ii) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender that makes a request therefor, a note to evidence the Revolving Credit Advances which may be made hereunder from time to time by such Lender. Each such note shall be (x) in the principal amount of the applicable Commitment of the applicable Lender, (y) dated as of the date of issuance thereof, and (z) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a)(ii) (each, a “Revolving Note”). Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of each Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances made to the Borrower, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.02. Optional Changes in Aggregate Commitment.

(a) So long as no Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, not more than twice during each calendar year, reduce the Aggregate Commitment permanently; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall give ten Business Days’ prior written notice of any such reduction to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) (each such notice, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”), (ii) any partial reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess of $10,000,000 and (iii) no such partial reduction shall reduce the Aggregate Commitment below the greater of (x) the Outstanding Principal Amount at such time and (y) $50,000,000. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Commitment shall result in (i) a reduction in each Lender’s Commitment in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment is being reduced and (ii) a proportional reduction in the L/C Sublimit; provided, however, that no such partial reduction shall reduce the L/C Sublimit below the aggregate outstanding amount of Letter of Credit Obligations.

(b) The Borrower may, at any time, on at least 30 days’ prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, irrevocably terminate the Aggregate Commitment; provided, that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(b) (the “Commitment Termination Notice”) and (ii) the Borrower shall reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of Advances to zero, cash collateralize or provide a back-up letter of credit with respect to all Letter of Credit Obligations in accordance with Section 2.11, and make all payments required by Section 2.03(g) at the time and in the manner specified therein. Upon such termination, the Borrower’s right to request that any Lender make Revolving Credit Advances or incur Letter of Credit Obligations shall in each case simultaneously terminate and the Commitment Termination Date shall automatically occur.

(c) Each written notice required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(a) and (b) shall be irrevocable and shall be effective (i) on the day of receipt if received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day and (ii) on the

immediately succeeding Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders after such time on such Business Day or if any such notice is received on a day other than a Business Day (regardless of the time of day such notice is received). Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify, respectively, the amount of, or the amount of the proposed reduction in, the Aggregate Commitment.

Section 2.03. Procedures for Making Advances.

(a) Borrowing Requests. Except as provided in Sections 2.06(c) and 2.11(b)(ii), each Borrowing shall be made upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided herein. Any such notice must be given in writing so that it is received no later than (1) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Advance Date set forth therein. Each request for a Borrowing (a “Borrowing Request”) shall (i) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(a), (ii) be irrevocable and (iii) specify the amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, to the extent that the then available unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment is less than such amount, such lesser amount) up to the entire available unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment) and the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day), and shall include such other information as may be required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Unless a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance.

(b) Advances; Payments.

(i) (A) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Borrowing Request delivered in accordance with Section 2.03(a) and in any event prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date such Borrowing Request is deemed received, by email, telecopy, telephone or other similar form of communication notify the Lenders of its receipt of a Borrowing Request relating to a request for Revolving Credit Advances, and (B) the Lenders shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Advances available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s account as set forth in Annex W not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Advance Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.03(c), before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02), the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower by deposit into the account designated by the Borrower in the related Borrowing Request (or, in the case of Revolving Credit Advances made pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii), shall apply in accordance with such Section) on the Advance Date therefor, the amount of the requested Borrowing. All payments by each Lender under this Section 2.03(b)(i) shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) On each Settlement Date, each Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with an invoice setting forth such Lender’s calculation of its Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees (to the extent payable to all Lenders) with respect to each applicable Revolving Credit Advance paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date payable for the benefit of that Lender. Provided that such Lender has made all payments required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Related Documents as of such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees (to the extent payable to all Lenders) with respect to each Revolving Credit Advance paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date payable for the benefit of that Lender. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in

Annex W or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Settlement Date.

(c) Availability of Lenders’ Advances. The Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Advances available to the Administrative Agent on each Advance Date. If the Administrative Agent has made available to the Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such Borrowing but such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Related Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that the Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Revolving Credit Advance is made, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Revolving Credit Advance from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance to the date such Revolving Credit Advance is reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(d) Return of Payments. (i) 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 set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If at any time 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 Related 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 set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(e) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it, but neither any Other Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Non-Funding Lender. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Related Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Related Document unless and until such Non-Funding Lender shall have cured in full its failures to make Revolving Credit Advances hereunder.

(f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action

to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Revolving Notes (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of the Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement or the Revolving Notes shall, subject to any provision herein requiring that each Lender consent to a particular action, be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders.

(g) Principal Repayments. The Borrower may at any time repay outstanding Advances hereunder; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice of any such repayment to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(g) (each such notice, a “Repayment Notice”), (ii) each such notice shall be irrevocable, (iii) each such notice shall specify the amount of the requested repayment and the proposed date of such repayment (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) any such repayment shall be applied pro rata to the Lenders to the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances. Any such notice of repayment must be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed repayment; provided, further, that the foregoing requirements shall not apply to repayment of the outstanding principal amount of Advances as a result of the application of Collections pursuant to Section 2.08.

Section 2.04. Pledge and Release of Transferred Receivables.

(a) Pledge. The Borrower shall indicate in its Records that the Transferred Receivables have been pledged hereunder and that the Administrative Agent has a lien on and security interest in all such Transferred Receivables for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties in accordance with their interests hereunder. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that its retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and in a custodial capacity for the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) benefit only.

(b) Repurchases of Transferred Receivables. If an Originator is required to repurchase Transferred Receivables from the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Sale Agreement, upon payment by such Originator to a Collection Account of the applicable repurchase price thereof (which repurchase price shall not be less than an amount equal to the Billed Amount of such Transferred Receivable minus the sum of (A) Collections received in respect thereof and (B) the amount of any Dilution Factors taken into account in the calculation of the Sale Price therefor), the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties shall release their liens on and security interests in the Transferred Receivables being so repurchased.

Section 2.05. Commitment Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to make any Advances or incur Letter of Credit Obligations from and after the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.06. Interest; Charges.

(a) The Borrower shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, with respect to the outstanding amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made or maintained by each Lender, in arrears on each applicable Settlement Date, (i) for each LIBOR Rate Advance outstanding from time to time, at the applicable LIBOR Rate as in effect from time to time

during the related Interest Period, and (ii) for each Base Rate Advance outstanding from time to time, at the applicable Base Rate as in effect from time to time during the related Interest Period. Interest for each Advance shall be calculated based upon actual days elapsed during the applicable Interest Period, for a 360 day year based upon actual days elapsed since the last Settlement Date. Unless a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance.

(b) So long as any Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the interest rates applicable to each Advance and any other unpaid Borrower Obligation hereunder and the Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum (such increased rate, in each case, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Borrower Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate from the date of such Termination Event until such Termination Event is waived or cured.

(c) The Administrative Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Borrower as Revolving Credit Advances and cause to be paid all Fees, expenses, charges, costs, interest and principal, other than principal of the Advances or Reimbursement Obligations, owing by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents if and to the extent the Borrower fails to pay any such amounts as and when due, and any charges so made shall constitute part of the Outstanding Principal Amount hereunder even if such charges would cause the aggregate balance of the Outstanding Principal Amount to exceed the Borrowing Base.

Section 2.07. Fees.

(a) On (i) the Effective Date and (ii) each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of itself and the Lenders, as applicable, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter that are payable on the Effective Date or such Settlement Date, as applicable.

(b) To the extent not otherwise provided herein, the Borrower shall pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letter as and when due in accordance with the terms thereof.

(c) On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Servicer or to the Successor Servicer, as applicable, the Servicing Fee or the Successor Servicing Fees and Expenses, respectively, in each case to the extent of available funds therefor pursuant to Section 2.08.

Section 2.08. Application of Collections; Time and Method of Payments.

(a) Each Advance shall mature, and be payable, on the Commitment Termination Date (in which case such Advance shall be payable in full).

(b) Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, any proceeds of Borrower Collateral received by the Borrower or the Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by the Servicer for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations as provided in this Section 2.08. Any Collections not required to be set aside prior to the Commitment Termination Date may be used by the Borrower for the payment of the purchase price for new Receivables under the Sale Agreement. On the Commitment Termination Date and on each day thereafter, the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to set aside and hold in trust for the Secured Parties all proceeds of Borrower Collateral received on such day and an additional amount for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations owed by the Borrower and not previously paid by Borrower; provided that if the Administrative Agent has delivered a Notice of Exclusive Control in accordance with the terms hereof, all proceeds of Borrower Collateral received by the Administrative Agent shall be held by the Administrative Agent or its designee for application pursuant to this Section 2.08.

(c) On each Business Day on which any Borrower Obligations are due for payment, the Borrower (and/or, if the Administrative Agent has delivered a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent to the extent that it has received proceeds of Borrower Collateral), shall apply all proceeds of Borrower Collateral then available in the following order of priority (whether such proceeds were set aside and held in trust in accordance with Section 2.08(b) or otherwise):

(i) first, to the extent then due and payable, to the payment of all Fees accrued and unpaid through such date and all unreimbursed expenses of the Administrative Agent which are reimbursable pursuant to the terms hereof;

(ii) second, if such Business Day is a Settlement Date, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest which is then due and payable in respect of the Advances and Reimbursement Obligations, pro rata based on the Commitments;

(iii) third, if the Servicer has been replaced as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Servicer Termination and such Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent, to the payment of the aggregate accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees through such date payable to such replacement Servicer;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of any outstanding Advances and Reimbursement Obligations solely with respect to amounts drawn on Letters of Credit then due and payable, pro rata based on the Commitments;

(v) fifth, if any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 shall not be satisfied, to the payment of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all other Advances and Reimbursement Obligations, first, in respect of Reimbursement Obligations and second, in respect of Revolving Credit Advances, pro rata based on the Commitments;

(vi) sixth, to the L/C Cash Collateral Account, the amount of any cash collateral required to be deposited therein under Section 2.11;

(vii) seventh, to the extent then due and payable, pro rata, to the payment of all other obligations of the Borrower accrued and unpaid hereunder, including, without limitation, the expenses of the Lenders reimbursable under Section 12.04; and

(viii) eighth, to be paid to the Borrower (by deposit into an account designated by the Borrower in writing).

(d) If and to the extent a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists on any Business Day, the Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency to an account designated by the Administrative Agent by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the immediately succeeding Business Day, which amount shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in immediate repayment of the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Advances.

(e) To the extent amounts held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on any day are insufficient to pay amounts due on such day in respect of the matured portion of any Advances or any interest, Fees or any other amounts due and payable by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall pay, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, the amount of such insufficiency to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, in immediately available funds (for the account of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lenders, Affected Parties or Indemnified Persons) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day. Any such payment made on such date but after such time shall be deemed to have been

made on, and interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon at the LIBOR Rate (in the case of LIBOR Rate Advances) or the Base Rate (in all other cases), until the next succeeding Business Day.

(f) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that any and all such payments shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.08.

(g) All payments of principal of the Advances and all payments of interest, Fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds. If any such payment becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon at the LIBOR Rate (in the case of LIBOR Rate Advances) or Base Rate (in all other cases) shall be payable during such extension. Payments received at or prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on such Business Day. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

(h) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.08 without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges or withholdings, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, gross receipts or franchise taxes of any Affected Party by the jurisdictions under the laws of which such Affected Party is organized (or by any political subdivisions thereof) or is doing business other than solely as a result of this Agreement or any Related Document, (ii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in an Advance, Letter of Credit Obligations or other Outstanding Principal Amounts pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Lender acquires such interest in the Advance, Letter of Credit Obligations or other Outstanding Principal Amounts except to the extent that, pursuant to this Section, amounts with respect to such taxes were payable to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto, (iii) taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 2.10 and (iv) any withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges and withholdings being “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (x) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) the Affected Party entitled to receive any such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (z) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify any Affected Party from and against, and, within ten days of demand therefor, pay any Affected Party for, the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (together with any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(i) Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 7.03 of the Sale Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, if such amounts have not been applied to the Borrower Obligations, segregate the Unrelated Amounts and the same shall not be deemed to constitute Collections on Transferred Receivables.

(j) The Administrative Agent agrees that it will not deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control unless a Trigger Event has occurred. From and after the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Administrative Agent may deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control in its sole and absolute discretion. Following the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent will direct the applicable Collection Account Bank and/or Concentration Account Bank to deliver all available funds on deposit in each applicable Account to any account designated by the Administrative Agent. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent may be applied by the Administrative Agent to Borrower Obligations that are then due and payable in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in this Section 2.08. If, on any day, the Administrative Agent receives any amounts in connection with the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control that are in excess of Borrower Obligations that are then due and owing, the Administrative Agent may in its sole and absolute discretion (x) retain from such amounts an amount equal to those Borrower Obligations (other than the Outstanding Principal Amount) that have accrued but are not then due and payable (such amounts shall be retained for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in this Section 2.08 on the next Settlement Date) and/or (y) if a Termination Event is continuing, retain Collections and other proceeds of Collateral in an amount necessary to cash collateralize 105% of the Borrower Obligations (or such lower amount as the Administrative Agent may designate). After giving effect to any retention pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall pay any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent to an account designated by the Borrower.

Section 2.09. Capital Requirements; Additional Costs.

(a) If any Affected Party shall have determined that, after the Effective Date, the adoption of or any change in, or any change in the administration or interpretation of, any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by such Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Affected Party against commitments made by it under this Agreement or any other Related Document and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its commitments hereunder or thereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such reduction together with interest thereon from the date of any such demand until payment in full at the applicable Base Rate. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by the Affected Party to the Borrower shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto (absent manifest error) for all purposes.

(b) If, due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any commitment hereunder or under any other Related Document, including with respect to any Advances, Letter of Credit Obligations or other Outstanding Principal Amount (including as a result of subjecting any Affected Party to any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges or withholdings (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) taxes excluded in the first sentence of Section 2.08(h) and (C) taxes indemnified under Section 12.04(b)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto), or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or thereunder, including with respect to any Advances, Letter of Credit Obligations or other Outstanding Principal Amount (any such increase in cost or reduction in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as “Additional Costs”), then the Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional

amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such Additional Costs together with interest thereon from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the applicable Base Rate. Each Affected Party agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to above that would result in any such Additional Costs, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).

(c) Determinations by any Affected Party for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making, funding or maintaining any commitments hereunder or under any other Related Documents or on amounts payable to it hereunder or thereunder or of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Party in respect of any Additional Costs shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Advance, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Rate Advance at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its Advances or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Advances shall terminate and (ii) Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Rate Advances owing to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts all such LIBOR Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances.

(e) Promptly after any Affected Party has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09, such Affected Party shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation or Additional Costs pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation or Additional Costs; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any increased costs or reduction or other Additional Costs incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change or other governmental action giving rise to such increased costs or reductions or Additional Costs and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

Section 2.10. U.S. Withholding Taxes.

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Related Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times 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 Section

2.10(b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iv) below) shall not be required if in the 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.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a United States person as defined in the IRC,

(i) any Lender that is a United States person as defined in the IRC shall deliver 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), executed copies of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii) any Lender that is not a United States person as defined in the IRC 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 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 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 Related Document, executed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 Related Document, IRS Form W‑8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, as applicable, 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) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

(iii) any Lender that is not a United States person as defined in the IRC 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 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 the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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.

Section 2.11. Letter of Credit Facility.

(a) From and after the Effective Date until the Commitment Termination Date, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall have the right to request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the benefit of itself, any Originator or any Subsidiary of an Originator, and the Lenders agree to incur or purchase participations in, Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of the Borrower.

(b) Issuance. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to incur, upon the request of the Borrower and for Borrower’s account, Letter of Credit Obligations by causing Letters of Credit to be issued by an L/C Issuer which is also a Lender hereunder. Such Letters of Credit shall not be guaranteed by the Administrative Agent and draws on such Letters of Credit shall be reimbursable by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.11(c) below. The aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (i) the L/C Sublimit, and (ii) the excess (if any) of (1) the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Commitment and (B) the Borrowing Base, over (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of Advances. No such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date that is more than one year following the date of issuance thereof unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (including with respect to customary evergreen provisions), and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of, or purchase risk participations in, any Letter of Credit having an expiry date that is later than the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit

as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the L/C Issuer.

(c) Reimbursement Obligations; Advances and Participations. (i) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay (either out of its own funds or with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Advance) to the applicable L/C Issuer on demand any amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person. In the event the Borrower does not pay any Reimbursement Obligation in cash out of its own funds on the day such Reimbursement Obligation arises, it shall be deemed to have made a request for Revolving Credit Advances to the extent of Funding Availability at such time to be made in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(ii) below. Each Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing until the earlier of (x) the date on which the Borrower pays such Reimbursement Obligation in full in cash and (y) the date on which Revolving Credit Advances in respect of such Reimbursement Obligations are made in accordance with Section 2.11(c)(ii) below, at the Base Rate in effect at such time.

(ii) In the event that any Letter of Credit is drawn and the Borrower does not pay the Reimbursement Obligation in full in cash on the day such Reimbursement Obligation arises, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Lenders make Revolving Credit Advances to the extent of Funding Availability in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation on the Business Day following the date on which such drawing was made (such date, the “Reimbursement Date”). The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to deliver notice of such deemed request on behalf of the Borrower, and each Lender shall, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date (so long as it received notice of such drawing by no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date), make available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable), as a Revolving Credit Advance up to its Pro Rata Share of Funding Availability, its Pro Rata Share of such Reimbursement Obligation. In addition, if and to the extent the Borrower has paid a Reimbursement Obligation and such payment is thereafter rescinded or set aside for any reason, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, each Lender shall, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on Business Day following the date on which such notice is received, make available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable), as a Revolving Credit Advance up to its Pro Rata Share of Funding Availability, its Pro Rata Share of such Reimbursement Obligation. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with this Section 2.11(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Trigger Event (unless any of the events described in Sections 8.01(d) or (e) has occurred (in which event the procedures of subsection (iii) below shall apply)); (C) any inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time; or (D) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer

or the Administrative Agent, its Pro Rata Share of any such Revolving Credit Advances shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share thereof, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

(iii) If it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Lender to make or the Borrower to incur Revolving Credit Advances as contemplated by subsection (c)(ii) above because of a Termination Event described in Sections 8.01(d) or (e) or otherwise or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Lender to be deemed to have assumed a ratable share of the Reimbursement Obligations owed to an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, or if the L/C Issuer is a Lender, then (1) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Administrative Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (2) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Administrative Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit on the date of such issuance. Each Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in this Agreement with respect to Revolving Credit Advances.

In the event that any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the foregoing commitment to make Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(ii) and to purchase participation interests pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(iii) shall expire and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations shall be automatically reduced by the amount of the Letter of Credit which is no longer outstanding.

(d) Cash Collateral. (i) If the Borrower is required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to this Agreement, on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower will (A) pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and the Lenders cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Administrative Agent (“Cash Equivalents”) in an amount equal to 102% of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit outstanding. Such funds or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) maintained at a bank or financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) deliver a stand-by letter (or letters) of credit in guarantee of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which stand-by letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and duration (plus thirty (30) additional days) as, and in an amount equal to 102% of the aggregate maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate. The Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of the Borrower and shall be pledged to, and subject to the control of, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each such Cash Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral in accordance with Section 8.01.

(ii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall either (A) provide cash collateral therefor in the manner described above, (B) cause all such Letters of Credit and guaranties thereof, if any, to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver a stand-by letter (or letters) of credit in guarantee of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which stand-by letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and duration (plus thirty (30) additional days) as, and in an amount equal to 102% of the

aggregate maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be issued by a Person, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(iii) From time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by the Borrower, whether before or after the Commitment Termination Date, the Administrative Agent may apply such funds or Cash Equivalents then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, and in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by the Borrower in respect of Reimbursement Obligations and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower, to any other Borrower Obligations then due and payable.

(iv) Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds or Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect thereof, any funds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied to other Borrower Obligations then due and owing and upon payment in full of such Borrower Obligations any remaining amount shall be paid to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. Interest and other income earned on deposits in the Cash Collateral Account and all proceeds thereof shall be held as additional collateral.

(e) Fees and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, as compensation for the Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, the Letter of Credit Fee. Such Letter of Credit Fee shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the Fee Letter. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to any L/C Issuer, on demand, such customary fees (including per annum fees), charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

(f) Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of its request for the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation. The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer) and a completed Application for Standby Letter of Credit, Application for Documentary Letter of Credit or Application for Direct-Pay Letter of Credit, as applicable, in the form of Exhibit B‑1 or B‑2 attached hereto, respectively, or such other application as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by the Borrower and approvals by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may be made and transmitted pursuant to electronic codes and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(g) Obligation Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to pay each Reimbursement Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of presentment, demand, protest or other formalities, and the obligation of each Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent with respect to Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Such obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under any and all circumstances whatsoever, irrespective of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or the other Related Documents or any other agreement;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or the other Related Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may at any time have against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, such Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which such Letter of Credit was procured);

(iv) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Administrative Agent (except as otherwise expressly provided in subsection (h)(ii)(C) below) or any L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or such guaranty;

(vi) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Related Documents;

(vii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit;

(viii) any other circumstance or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Lender; or

(ix) the fact that a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing.

(h) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties. (i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel) that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, or (B) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender seeking indemnification or of any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(ii) As between the Administrative Agent and any Lender and the Borrower, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit, by beneficiaries of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or L/C Issuer shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit; provided, that in the case of any payment by the Administrative Agent under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, the Administrative Agent shall be liable to the extent such payment was made as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof complies on its face with any applicable requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they may be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; and (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer be responsible for any special, indirect or consequential damages.

(iii) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants or indemnities made by the Borrower in favor of any L/C Issuer in any letter of credit application, reimbursement agreement or similar document, instrument or agreement between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer.

Section 2.12. Breakage Costs

. To induce the Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate Advances on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Rate Advances are, except by reason of the requirements in Section 2.03(c), repaid in whole or in part on any date other than an Settlement Date (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document or is the result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) the Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance; (iii) the Borrower shall default in making any borrowing of LIBOR Rate Advances after the Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith (including any failure to satisfy conditions precedent to the making of any LIBOR Rate Advances); or (iv) the Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Advance after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing (any such loss, cost or expense, “Breakage Costs”). Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained (if any). For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Advance through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Rate Advance; provided, however, that

each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Advances in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. The determination by any Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes .

Section 2.13. Non-Funding Lenders.

(a) If a Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, then, so long as such Lender remains a Non-Funding Lender in accordance with clause (c) below, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Non-Funding Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of Advances, interest, Fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Non-Funding Lender, but will, so long as such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account (the “Non-Funding Lender Account”), until the Termination Date and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority (and the Non-Funding Lender shall have no claims against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender for making such redirected payments): first, to the payment of any amounts, if any, due and owing by such Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, together with interest thereon owing at the Base Rate; second, to the payment of interest due and payable to the Other Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them; third, to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Other Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them; fourth, if as of any Settlement Date the Advances of any Other Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share (as determined without giving effect to the proviso in the definition thereof) of the total Advances, to repay the Advances of each such Other Lender in the amount necessary to eliminate such excess, pro rata based on the Advances of the Other Lenders; fifth, to make any other mandatory reductions of the Advances of the Other Lenders required under Section 2.08, pro rata based on the Advances of such Other Lenders; sixth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Other Lenders; and seventh, to pay any interest, Advances or other amounts owing under this Agreement to such Non-Funding Lender in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.08(b) hereof or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided that funds shall be redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account to pay amounts owed under clauses second through sixth solely after application of other funds and only to the extent that such other funds are insufficient to make such payments. Any funds redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account to make payments under clauses second through sixth above shall not be deemed to be payment by the Borrower for purposes of determining whether a Termination Event has occurred and shall not discharge any obligations of the Borrower to make such payment. To the extent that any Other Lenders have been paid with amounts redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account, the Non-Funding Lender shall, from and after payment in full of all interest, Advances and other amounts owed to the Other Lender, be subrogated to the rights of the Other Lenders to the extent of any such payments from the Non-Funding Lender Account under clause seventh above.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any time that any Commitments remain outstanding, at its sole and absolute discretion, after payment of any amounts owed under clause first of the first sentence of clause (a) above, to (i) retain amounts in any Non-Funding Lender Account in an amount up to the related Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Commitment and (ii) use any portion of such retained amounts to pay such Non-Funding Lender’s

funding obligations hereunder. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use the amounts in a Non-Funding Lender’s Non-Funding Lender Account to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. Upon the termination of all Commitments, any amounts in any Non-Funding Lender Account shall be applied in accordance with the first sentence of clause (a) above.

(c) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Non-Funding Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the other parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.13(a)), such Non-Funding Lender shall, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Advances of the Other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances of all of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Non-Funding Lender, provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Non-Funding Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, such notification will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Non-Funding Lender.

Section 2.14. Register; Registered Obligations.

(a) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.01 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (i) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender in the Revolving Credit Advances, the Letter of Credit Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in the each Revolving Credit Advance and Letter of Credit and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (ii) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 12.01 and 12.02), (2) the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Revolving Credit Advance and each funding of any participation described in clause (i) above, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, and (5) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Borrower Obligations. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Advances (including any notes evidencing such Advances) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Advances, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.14 and Section 12.02 shall be construed so that the Advances are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRC and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

Section 2.15. Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Related Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Market Index Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBOR Market Index Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.15 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.15, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Related Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(d) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a LIBOR Advance to be made or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period the component of the Base Rate based upon the LIBOR Market Index Rate will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

Section 2.16. Extension of Final Advance Date. The Borrower may (in its sole discretion) extend the Final Advance Date to March 25, 2022. To effect such an extension, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender of Borrower’s election to effect such an extension not more than 120 days prior to September 24, 2021 and not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to September 24, 2021. Further, Borrower shall cause to be paid any fees required by the Fee Letter relating to such an extension on the date such Fees are required to be paid under the Fee Letter. The Borrower may not make any such extension if, as of the date of giving such election to effect such an extension, a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. To induce each Lender to make Advances and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations from time to time and the Administrative Agent to take any action required to be performed by it hereunder, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to each Lender and the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date and each Advance Date and each date on which Letter of Credit Obligations are incurred, each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(a) Existence; Compliance with Law. The Borrower (i) is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, is a “registered organization” as defined in the UCC of such jurisdiction and is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction; (ii) is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification; (iii) has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to own, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber and operate its properties, to lease the property it operates under lease, and to conduct its business, in each case, as now, heretofore and proposed to be conducted; (iv) has all licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, and has made all filings with, and has given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership, operation and conduct, except where failure to secure, make or provide the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (v) is in compliance with its limited liability company agreement; and (vi) subject to specific representations set forth herein regarding ERISA, tax and other laws, is in compliance with all applicable provisions of law, except where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The state of organization of the Borrower and current location of the Borrower’s chief executive office, principal place of business, other offices, the premises within which any Borrower Collateral is stored or located, and the locations of its records concerning the Borrower Collateral (including originals of the Borrower Assigned Agreements) are set forth in Schedule 4.01(b) and none of such locations has changed within the past 12 months. During the prior five years, except as set forth in Schedule 4.01(b), the Borrower has not been known as or used any fictitious or trade name. In addition, Schedule 4.01(b) lists the federal employer identification number of the Borrower.

(c) Power, Authorization, Enforceable Obligations. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party,

and the creation and perfection of all Liens and ownership interests provided for herein and therein: (i) are within the Borrower’s limited liability company power; (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary or proper actions; (iii) do not contravene any provision of the Borrower’s certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement; (iv) do not violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority; (v) do not conflict with or result in the breach or termination of, constitute a default under or accelerate or permit the acceleration of any performance required by, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or any of the property of the Borrower is bound; (vi) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the property of the Borrower; and (vii) do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which have been duly obtained, made or complied with prior to the Effective Date as provided in Section 3.01(b).

Each of the Related Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each such Related Document shall then constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(d) No Litigation. No Litigation is now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, overtly threatened in writing against the Borrower that (i) challenges the Borrower’s right or power to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Related Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Related Document or any action taken thereunder, (ii) seeks to prevent the transfer, sale, pledge or contribution of any Receivable or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Related Documents, or (iii) is reasonably likely to be adversely determined and, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the Borrower’s organization, (i) the Borrower has not incurred any obligations, contingent or non-contingent liabilities, liabilities for Charges, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, other than in connection with (i) the Amended and Restated Receivables Funding and Administration Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2011 by and among the Borrower, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), as terminated on the Effective Date and (ii) the transaction contemplated by the Related Documents, (ii) no contract, lease or other agreement or instrument has been entered into by the Borrower or has become binding upon the Borrower’s assets, other than in connection with the Related Documents, and no law or regulation applicable to the Borrower has been adopted that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) the Borrower is not in default and no third party is in default under any material contract, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party. Since the date of the Borrower’s organization, no event has occurred with respect to the Borrower that alone or together with other events could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Ownership of Property; Liens. None of the properties and assets (including the Transferred Receivables) of the Borrower are subject to any Adverse Claims other than Permitted

Encumbrances not attaching to Transferred Receivables, and there are no facts, circumstances or conditions known to the Borrower that may result in (i) with respect to the Transferred Receivables, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) and (ii) with respect to its other properties and assets, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Borrower has received all assignments, bills of sale and other documents, and has duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions necessary to establish, protect and perfect the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Receivables and its other properties and assets. No effective financing statement or other similar instrument is of record in any filing office listing the Borrower as debtor and covering any of the Transferred Receivables or the other Borrower Collateral except with respect to the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, and the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01 are and will be at all times fully perfected first priority Liens in and to the Borrower Collateral.

(h) Ventures, Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Outstanding Stock and Indebtedness. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries, and is not engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person. The Borrower has no Investments in any Person other than Permitted Investments. The Member is the only member of the Borrower. There are no outstanding rights to purchase or options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which the Borrower may be required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem some or all of its membership interests. Other than the Subordinated Loans and the Debt outstanding under this Agreement, the Borrower has no outstanding Debt on the Effective Date.

(i) Taxes. All tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by the Borrower and all material tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by the Member have in each case been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and all Charges have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof (or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid), excluding Charges or other amounts being contested in accordance with Section 5.01(e), unless the failure to file any such return, report or statement, or the failure to pay any such charges or fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss, could reasonably not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Effective Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates included in the Parent Group has agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under IRC 481(a), by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Full Disclosure. All information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender or the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement, the Transferred Receivables or any of the other Related Documents, is true and accurate in every material respect, and none of this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender or the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. All information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished to any Lender or the Administrative Agent has been prepared in good faith by the management of the Borrower with the exercise of reasonable diligence.

(k) ERISA. The Borrower is in compliance with ERISA and has not incurred and does not expect to incur any liabilities (except for premium payments arising in the ordinary course of business) payable to the PBGC under Title IV of ERISA.

(l) Brokers. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Borrower was employed or utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Borrower has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees in connection therewith.

(m) Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security,” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). The Borrower owns no Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Advances made hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. The Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Related Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

(n) Nonapplicability of Bulk Sales Laws. No transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Related Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(o) Government Regulation. The Borrower is not an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act. The making of Advances and the incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations by the Lenders hereunder, the application of the proceeds thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents will not violate any provision of any such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each Account constitutes a deposit account within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) has delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) with respect to each Collection Account, a fully executed Collection Account Agreement pursuant to which the applicable Collection Account Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing the disposition of funds in the Accounts without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator and (ii) with respect to the Concentration Account, the fully executed Concentration Account Agreement pursuant to which the Concentration Account Bank has agreed, upon receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control, to comply with all instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing the disposition of funds in the Accounts without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator.

(ii) Eligibility. Each Transferred Receivable designated as an Eligible Receivable in each Borrowing Base Certificate or Monthly Report, as the case may be, constitutes an Eligible Receivable as of the date specified in such Borrowing Base Certificate, or Monthly Report, as applicable.

(iii) No Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has no actual knowledge of any fact (including any defaults by the Obligor thereunder on any other Receivable) that would cause it or should have caused it to expect that any payments on any Transferred Receivable designated as an Eligible Receivable in any Borrowing Base Certificate, or Monthly Report, as applicable, will not be paid in full when due or that has caused it to expect any material adverse effect on any such Transferred Receivable.

(iv) Nonavoidability of Transfers. The Borrower shall (1) have purchased each Sold Receivable from the applicable Originator for cash consideration or with the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan or an increase to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the L/C Note and (2) have accepted assignment of any Eligible Receivables transferred pursuant to clause (b) of Section 4.04 of the Sale Agreement, in each case in an amount that constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value therefor. No Sale has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by any Originator to the Borrower and no such Sale is or may be avoidable or subject to avoidance under any bankruptcy laws, rules or regulations.

(s) Assignment of Interest in Related Documents. The Borrower’s interests in, to and under the Sale Agreement and each Originator Support Agreement, if any, have been assigned by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Lenders) as security for the Borrower Obligations.

(v) Supplementary Representations.

(i) Receivables; Accounts. (A) Each Receivable constitutes an “account” or a “general intangible” within the meaning of the applicable UCC, and (B) each Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(ii) Creation of Security Interest. The Borrower owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against any creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower.

(iii) Perfection. (A) The Borrower has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law and

entered into Account Agreements in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables from the Originators to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the security interest granted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) in the Receivables hereunder; and (B) with respect to each Account, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), a fully executed Account Agreement pursuant to which the applicable Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions given by the Administrative Agent (at all times or, in the case of the Concentration Account, upon receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control) with respect to all funds on deposit in the Accounts and the related Lockboxes, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator.

(iv) Priority. (A) Other than the transfer of the Receivables by the Originators to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the grant of security interest by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) in the Receivables, the Accounts and the Lockboxes hereunder, the Borrower has not pledged, assigned, sold, conveyed, or otherwise granted a security interest in any of the Receivables, the Accounts and the Lockboxes to any other Person. (B) The Borrower has not authorized, nor is aware of, any filing of any financing statement against the Borrower or any Originator that includes a description of collateral covering the Receivables or any other collateral pledged to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) pursuant to the Related Documents, other than any financing statement filed pursuant to the Sale Agreement and this Agreement or financing statements that have been validly terminated prior to or as of the Effective Date. (C) As of the Effective Date, the Borrower is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Borrower or any Originator. (D) None of the Accounts or Lockboxes is in the name of any Person other than the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower has not, and to the knowledge of Borrower the Servicer or any Originator have not, consented to any Bank complying with instructions of any person other than the Administrative Agent.

(v) Survival of Supplemental Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document, the representations contained in this Section 4.01(v) and Section 5.01(g) shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

(w) The Borrower (i) is not a “covered fund” as defined in the Xxxxxxx Rule and (ii) is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. The Seller relies on an exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional applicable exclusions or exemptions.

(x) Beneficial Ownership Regulation. As of the Effective Date, the Borrower is an entity that is organized under the laws of the United States or of any state and at least 51% of whose common stock or analogous equity interest is owned by an entity (other than a bank) whose common stock or analogous equity interests are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or have been designated as a NASDAQ National Market Security listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange and is excluded on that basis from the definition of “Legal Entity Customer” as defined in the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

demands and requests to any other party to the Borrower Assigned Agreements as are permitted to be made by the Borrower or the Servicer thereunder.

REMEDIES

Section 9.01. Actions Upon Termination Event. If any Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have declared the Commitment Termination Date to have occurred or the Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, then the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Borrower Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies granted to it hereunder, under any other Related Document or under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Borrower Obligations or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, may take the following actions:

(a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, (i) charge, offset or otherwise apply amounts payable to the Borrower from the Concentration Account or any Collection Account against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations and (ii) without limiting the terms of Section 7.05(c), notify any Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the transfer of the Transferred Receivables to the Borrower and the pledge of such Transferred Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower

thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lockbox or other account designated by the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or any of the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any of the Borrower’s premises without charge for such sales at such time or times as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or advisable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Borrower Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Borrower Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Originator, the Borrower, any Person claiming any right in the Borrower Collateral sold through any Originator or the Borrower, and their respective successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such sale against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations.

(c) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 9.01(b), the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date thereof, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impracticable to make immediate delivery, all of the Borrower Collateral sold on such date, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall vest in such purchaser or purchasers upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any such purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.

(d) At any sale under Section 9.01(b), any Lender or the Administrative Agent may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.

(e) The Administrative Agent may (but in no event shall be obligated to) exercise, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Borrower Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicer Termination, have the right to name any Successor Servicer (including itself) pursuant to Article VIII of the Sale Agreement.

Section 9.02. Exercise of Remedies.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between any Originator, the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or

partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Related Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the Related Documents against the Borrower, the Servicer or the Borrower Collateral shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Related Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the Related Documents, (ii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.07, (iii) the Requisite Lenders from directing the Administrative Agent to take actions expressly contemplated herein (including any action described in the final paragraph of Section 8.01 hereof) or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable debtor relief law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the Related Documents, then (A) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article IX and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 11.07, any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

Section 9.03. Power of Attorney. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.03 (a “Power of Attorney”). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Liens of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon and interests in the Borrower Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Administrative Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Borrower, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person for any act or failure to act, except to the extent of damages attributable to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Related Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any powers pursuant to any Power of Attorney unless a Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 9.04. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien in the Borrower Collateral until the date such security interest is released by Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Person any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:

(iv) any dispute, claim, offset or defense of any Obligor (other than its discharge in bankruptcy) to the payment of any Transferred Receivable (including a defense based on such Receivable or the Contract therefor not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services giving rise to such Receivable or the furnishing of or failure to furnish such merchandise or services or relating to collection activities with respect to such Receivable (if such collection activities were performed by any of its Affiliates acting as Servicer);

(v) any products liability claim or other claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that is the subject of any Contract with respect to any Transferred Receivable;

(vi) the commingling of Collections with respect to Transferred Receivables by the Borrower at any time with its other funds or the funds of any other Person;

(vii) any failure by the Borrower to cause the filing of, or any delay in filing, financing statements or to cause the effectiveness of other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or any other applicable laws with respect to any Transferred Receivable hereunder or any other Borrower Collateral, whether at the time of the Borrower’s acquisition thereof or any Advance made or Letter of Credit Obligation incurred hereunder or at any subsequent time;

(x) any Termination Event described in Section 8.01(d) or (e);

(xi) any failure of the Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator under the Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer by such Originator of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action;

(xii) any action or omission by Borrower or any Transaction Party which reduces or impairs the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;

(xiii) any attempt by any Person to void any Borrowing or the Lien granted hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; or

(xiv) any withholding, deduction or Charge imposed upon any payments with respect to any Transferred Receivable, any Borrower Assigned Agreement or any other Borrower Collateral.

(b) Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.01 not paid in accordance with Section 2.08 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Indemnified Person entitled thereto within five Business Days following demand therefor.

ARTICLE XI.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.01. Authorization and Action. The Administrative Agent may take such action and carry out such functions under this Agreement as are authorized to be performed by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other Related Document or otherwise contemplated hereby or thereby or are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, that the duties of the Administrative Agent set forth in this Agreement shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and, other than the duties set forth in Section 11.02, any permissive right of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

Section 11.02. Reliance. None of the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents, except for damages solely caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any term or provision hereof to the contrary, the Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent as such (a) has no duties or obligations other than as set forth expressly herein, and has no fiduciary obligations to any person, (b) acts as a representative hereunder for the Lenders and has no duties or obligations to, shall incur no liabilities or obligations to, and does not act as an agent in any capacity for, the Borrower (other than, with respect to the Administrative Agent, under the Power of Attorney with respect to remedial actions), the Servicer, the Parent, the Member or the Originators, (c) 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, (d) makes no representation or warranty hereunder to any Affected Party and shall not be responsible to any such Person for any statements, representations or warranties made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents, (e) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Related Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator, the Parent, the Member or any Lender, or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator, the Parent, the Member or any Lender, (f) shall not be responsible to the Borrower, the Servicer, any Lender or any other Person for the due execution by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, or the legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value, of this Agreement or the other Related Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, (g) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Related Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or communicated by the proper party or parties and (h) shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any notice or other communication hereunder and may conclusively rely on the accuracy of such facts or matters.

Section 11.03. Mizuho and Affiliates. Mizuho and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor, the Parent, the Member, the Originators, the Borrower, the Servicer, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of such Persons or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if Mizuho were not the Administrative Agent and without the duty to account therefor to any Obligor, the Parent, the Member, any Originator, the Borrower, the Servicer, any Lender or any other Person.

Section 11.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Borrower and its own 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 action under this Agreement.

Section 11.05. Indemnification. Each of the Lenders severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Related Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent in connection herewith or therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Related Document, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

Section 11.06. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to each of the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning the Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution which commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, by the 30^th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Administrative Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or the effective date of the resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Related Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Administrative Agent shall continue. After any resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Related Documents.

Section 11.07. Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, each Lender is hereby authorized at any

time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived (but subject to Section 2.03(b)(i)), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of the Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Borrower Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender or holder of any Note exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Borrower Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Each Lender’s obligation pursuant to this Section 11.07 is in addition to and not in limitation of its obligations to purchase a participation equal to its Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to Section 2.11(b). The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Advances made or Letter of Credit Obligations incurred or other Borrower Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Advances, Letter of Credit Obligations and the other Borrower Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

Section 12.02. Binding Effect; Assignability.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrower may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder or interests herein without the express prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the Borrower without the prior express written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be void.

(b) The Borrower hereby consents to any Lender’s assignment or pledge of, and/or sale of participations in, at any time or times after the Effective Date of the Related Documents, Advances, Letter of Credit Obligations and any Commitment or of any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties, whether evidenced by a writing or not, made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b). Any assignment by a Lender shall (i) require the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12.02(b) or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and acknowledged by, the Administrative Agent and other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) if a partial assignment, be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assigning Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; (iii) require the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the assignee or participant, as the case may be, of any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States tax withholding matters, and (iv) other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, include a payment to the Administrative Agent by the assignor or assignee Lender of an assignment fee of $3,500. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 12.02, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender

hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b) will give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall thereupon be a “Lender” for all purposes. In all instances, each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances and incur Letter of Credit Obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of a Revolving Note, the Borrower shall, upon the request of such Lender, execute new Revolving Notes in exchange for the Revolving Notes being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02(b), any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank or to any holder or trustee of such Lender’s securities; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment to any Federal Reserve Bank, holder or trustee shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document and no such holder or trustee shall be entitled to enforce any rights of such Lender hereunder unless such holder or trustee becomes a Lender hereunder through execution of an Assignment Agreement as set forth above.

(c) In addition to the foregoing right, any Lender may, without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (x) grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Advance that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder); (y) assign to an SPV all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under the Related Documents, including a sale of any Advances or other Borrower Obligations hereunder and such Lender’s right to receive payment with respect to any such Borrower Obligation and (z) sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Related Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Advances); provided, however, that (x) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Advances hereunder, and none shall be liable to any Person for any obligations of such Lender hereunder (it being understood that nothing in this Section 12.02(c) shall limit any rights the Lender may have as against such SPV or participant under the terms of the applicable option, sale or participation agreement between or among such parties); and (y) no such SPV or holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Advance or Letter of Credit Obligation in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Advance in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Related Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 9.01, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such sale or participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the participant or SPV and each such participant or SPV shall be considered to be a “Lender” for purposes of such sections. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent towards such Lender under any Related Document shall remain unchanged and none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation or assignment to an SPV) shall have any duty to any participant or SPV and may continue to deal solely with the assigning or selling Lender as if no such assignment or sale had occurred.

(d) Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.02, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and that Lender, or between the Administrative Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of

its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Advances, the Letter of Credit Obligations, the Revolving Notes or other Borrower Obligations owed to such Lender.

(e) The Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 12.02 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the participation of management in meetings with potential assignees or participants. The Borrower shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests in connection with an initial syndication of the Commitments hereunder, assist in the preparation of informational materials for such syndication.

(f) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, the Originator, the Parent, the Member, the Servicer and/or the Receivables in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants). Each Lender shall obtain from all prospective and actual assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 12.05.

Section 12.03. Termination; Survival of Borrower Obligations Upon Commitment Termination Date.

(a) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by any Affected Party under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of the Borrower or the rights of any Affected Party relating to any unpaid portion of the Borrower Obligations, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the Commitment Termination Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon the Borrower and all rights of any Affected Party hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower pursuant to Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X and Sections 11.05 and 12.05 shall be continuing and shall survive the Termination Date.

Section 12.04. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Related Documents (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all of its special counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and advice in connection therewith). The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented fees, costs and expenses, including the fees, costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) for advice, assistance, or other representation in connection with:

(i) the forwarding to the Borrower or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower by any Lender of any proceeds of Advances made by such Lender hereunder;

(ii) the issuance of Letters of Credit on behalf of the Borrower;

(iii) any amendment, modification or waiver of, consent with respect to, or termination of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or advice in connection with the administration hereof or thereof or their respective rights hereunder or thereunder;

(iv) any Litigation, contest or dispute (whether instituted by the Borrower, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person as a party, witness, or otherwise) in any way relating to the Borrower Collateral, any of the Related Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including any Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by virtue of the Related Documents, including any such Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events;

(v) any attempt to enforce any remedies of a Lender or the Administrative Agent against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to them by virtue of any of the Related Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events;

(vi) any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events; and

(vii) efforts to (A) monitor the Advances, Letter of Credit Obligations or any of the Borrower Obligations, (B) evaluate, observe or assess the Originators, the Parent, the Borrower, the Member or the Servicer or their respective affairs, and (C) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Borrower Collateral;

including all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented attorneys’ and other professional and service providers’ fees arising from such services, including those in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 12.04, all of which shall be payable, on demand, by the Borrower to the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such reasonable expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram or facsimile charges; secretarial overtime charges; and reasonable expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory services.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay on demand any and all stamp, sales, excise and other taxes (excluding income taxes imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such person is organized), gross receipts or franchise taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing or recording of this Agreement or any other Related Document, and

the Borrower agrees to indemnify and save each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or failure to pay such taxes and fees.

Section 12.05. Confidentiality.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or as required to be filed publicly with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and all drafts hereof and documents ancillary hereto), in its communications with third parties other than any Affected Party or any Indemnified Person and otherwise not to disclose, deliver or otherwise make available to any third party (other than its directors, officers, employees, accountants or counsel) the original or any copy of all or any part of this Agreement (or any draft hereof and documents ancillary hereto) except to an Affected Party or an Indemnified Person or any financial institution party to the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender severally agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to) issue any news release or make any public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents without the prior written consent of the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such news release or public announcement is required by law, in which case the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, as the case may be, shall consult with the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lenders specifically referenced therein prior to the issuance of such news release or public announcement. The Borrower may, however, disclose the general terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents to trade creditors, suppliers and other similarly-situated Persons so long as such disclosure is not in the form of a news release or public announcement.

(c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), and will not use such confidential Information for any purpose or in any matter except in connection with this Agreement, except that Information may be disclosed (1) to (i) each Affected Party (ii) its and each Affected Party’s and their respective Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and to not disclose or use such Information in violation of Regulation FD (17 C.F.R. § 243.100-243.103)) and (iii) industry trade organizations for inclusion in league table measurements, (2) any regulatory authority (it being understood that it will to the extent reasonably practicable provide the Borrower with an opportunity to request confidential treatment from such regulatory authority), (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) to the extent required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Related Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (6) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of (or participant in), or any prospective assignee of (or participant in), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (7) with the consent of the Borrower or (8) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or any other confidentiality agreement to which it is party with the Borrower or the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or any subsidiary thereof. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower and Servicer relating to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or their businesses, or any Obligor, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to

disclosure by Borrower or Servicer; provided that in the case of information received from the Borrower or Servicer after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 12.06. Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement and the other Related Documents constitute the complete agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 12.07.

Section 12.07. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and by the Requisite Lenders or, to the extent required under clause (b) below, by all affected Lenders and the L/C Issuers, as applicable, and, to the extent required under clause (b) or clause (c) below, by the Administrative Agent. Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders without specifying the required percentage of Lenders shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.

(b) (i) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby, do any of the following: (1) increase the principal amount of any Lender’s Commitment; (2) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or Fees payable with respect to any Advance or Letter of Credit Obligation incurred made by any affected Lender; (3) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Advance of any affected Lender; (4) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or Fees as to any affected Lender; (5) change the percentage of the Aggregate Commitments or of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount which shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; (6) release all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral; or (7) amend or waive this Section 12.07 or the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section 12.07. Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (x) affects the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Related Document unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent or (y) affects the rights or duties of any L/C Issuer under this Agreement or modifies or amends any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document relating to Letter of Credit Obligations, the issuance of Letters of Credit or any L/C Issuer unless in writing and signed by (or with the prior written consent of) each L/C Issuer.

(ii) Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for the Administrative Agent to take additional Borrower Collateral pursuant to any Related Document. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(i) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described this clause (i) or in clause (ii) below being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), or

(ii) requiring the consent of Requisite Lenders, the consent of Lenders holding 51% or more of the Aggregate Commitments is obtained, but the consent of Requisite Lenders is not obtained,

then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request the Administrative Agent, or a Person acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Advances held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(d) Upon indefeasible payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Borrower Obligations (other than indemnification obligations under Section 10.01), termination of the Aggregate Commitment and a release of all claims against the Administrative Agent and Lenders, and so long as no suits, actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower termination statements and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Borrower Obligations.

Section 12.08. No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower or the Servicer contained in this Agreement or any other Related Document, and no breach or default by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by any Lender or the Administrative Agent unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of the applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent and directed to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may have hereunder, thereunder, under any other agreement, by operation of law or otherwise. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be obligated to exhaust its recourse to or any remedy related to the Borrower Collateral prior to its enforcement of its rights and remedies against the Borrower hereunder.

Section 12.09. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH RELATED DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY RELATED DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (INCLUDING 735 ILCS SECTION 105/5-1 ET SEQ. BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE INTERESTS OF THE BUYER IN THE RECEIVABLES OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE BORROWER COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE BORROWER OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 12.01 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS

SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 12.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm of otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof.

Section 12.11. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.12. Section Titles. The section, titles and table of contents contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

Section 12.13. Further Assurances.

(a) The Borrower shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, at its sole cost and expense, upon request of any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take such further action that may be necessary or desirable or that any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent may request to (i) perfect, protect, preserve, continue and maintain fully the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders under this Agreement, (ii) enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to

exercise and enforce its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or (iii) otherwise carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or any other Related Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, upon request of any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, (A) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices that may be necessary or desirable or that any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent may request to perfect, protect and preserve the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement, free and clear of all Adverse Claims, (B) xxxx, or cause the Servicer to xxxx, each Contract evidencing each Transferred Receivable with a legend, acceptable to each Lender and the Administrative Agent evidencing that the Borrower has purchased such Transferred Receivables and that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a security interest in and lien thereon, (C) xxxx, or cause the Servicer to xxxx, its master data processing records evidencing such Transferred Receivables with such a legend and (D) notify or cause the Servicer to notify Obligors of the Liens on the Transferred Receivables granted hereunder.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and each of the Lenders hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, to file one or more financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relating to all or any part of the Transferred Receivables, including Collections with respect thereto, or the Borrower Collateral without the signature of the Borrower or, as applicable, the Lenders, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including, for administrative convenience, financing statements with respect to the Borrower describing the collateral covered by any such UCC‑1 financing statement as “all assets of the Borrower whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, including all accessions thereto and products and proceeds thereof” or language similar thereto). A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing statement covering the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted by law.

Section 12.14. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Related Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Related Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Related Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 12.15. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs

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

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Related Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Related Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, REXNORD FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of [________________] (the “Lender”), at the offices of MIZUHO BANK, LTD. as agent for the Lender (the “Administrative Agent”), at its address at [_], or at such other place as the Administrative Agent may designate from time to time in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the amount of ______________ DOLLARS AND ____ CENTS ($_____________) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid amount of all Revolving Credit Advances made to the undersigned under the “Funding Agreement” (as hereinafter defined).

The date and amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made by the Lender to the Borrower, the rates of interest applicable thereto and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on its books; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing under the Funding Agreement or this Revolving Note in respect of the Revolving Credit Advances actually made by the Lender to the Borrower.

The principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Funding Agreement, the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Upon and after the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Revolving Note may, as provided in the Funding Agreement, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable.

Time is of the essence of this Revolving Note. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest are hereby waived by the Borrower.

Except as provided in the Funding Agreement, this Revolving Note may not be assigned by the Lender to any Person.

THIS REVOLVING NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.
