(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. Except as otherwise provided herein, an Interest Election Request for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, HIBOR Borrowing, SIBOR Borrowing, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Borrowing or Canadian BA Rate Borrowing shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

“Note” and all such promissory notes being collectively called the “Notes”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10 and any costs incurred as contemplated by Section 2.13.

Section 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest; Illegality. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, HIBOR Borrowing, SIBOR Borrowing, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Borrowing or Canadian BA Rate Borrowing:
(i) (i) the Administrative
Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, HIBOR, SIBOR, the Australian Bank Xxxx Rate or the
Canadian BA Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period; or
(ii) (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the
Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, HIBOR, SIBOR, the Australian Bank Xxxx Rate or the Canadian BA Rate, as the case may be, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
(or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or other electronic
transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the
conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, HIBOR Borrowing, SIBOR Borrowing, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Borrowing or Canadian BA Rate Borrowing, as the case may be, shall be
ineffective, and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, HIBOR Borrowing, SIBOR Borrowing, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Borrowing or Canadian BA Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing (x) if denominated in
dollars, shall be made as an ABR Borrowing or (y) in all other cases, shall be ineffective (and no Lender shall be obligated to make a Loan on account thereof).
(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Effective Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurodollar Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, HIBOR Borrowing, SIBOR Borrowing, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Borrowing or Canadian BA Rate Borrowing, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue any Eurodollar Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing, HIBOR Borrowing, SIBOR Borrowing, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Borrowing or Canadian BA Rate Borrowing or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (i) with respect to Eurodollar Loans of such Lender denominated in dollars, convert all such Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, on the last of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans (in which case the Borrower shall not be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2.13 in connection with such payment) and (ii) with respect to Eurodollar Loans of such Lender denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, EURIBOR Loans, HIBOR Loans, SIBOR

Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to it.
Section 2.12 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) (i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve
requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);
(ii) (ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank, any Lender or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder, to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the
definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes, but excluding any capital or other non-income taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans, EURIBOR Loans, HIBOR Loans, SIBOR Loans, Australian Bank
Xxxx Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans made by such Lender or such Issuing Bank; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan
(or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or issue, amend, extend, increase or maintain in place a Letter of Credit, as the case may be, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder or such
Issuing Bank (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments hereunder or the Loans made by such Lender or the Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company or such Issuing Bank or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive (or has retroactive effect), then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.13 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan, EURIBOR Loan, HIBOR Loan, SIBOR Loan, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan, EURIBOR Loan, HIBOR Loan, SIBOR Loan, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan, EURIBOR Loan, HIBOR Loan, SIBOR Loan, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan, EURIBOR Loan, HIBOR Loan, SIBOR Loan, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, EURIBOR Loan, HIBOR Loan, SIBOR Loan, Australian Bank Xxxx Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, HIBOR, SIBOR, the Australian Bank Xxxx Rate or the Canadian BA Rate, as the case may be, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
Section 2.14 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall
47
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
make such deduction or withholding and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes (including such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes been made.
(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefore, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan 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
48
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
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 2.14(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) 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.
(ii) (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of such direct or indirect partner or partners;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “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.
(g) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such applicable Loan Party, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall repay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will a Lender or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g), the payment of which would place the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) For all purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “Lender” includes and shall apply equally to the benefit of each Issuing Bank.
(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 2.15 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Off. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment or performance hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment or performance shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or Letter of Credit; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
51

Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or paragraph (d) of this Section, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to satisfy such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s, as applicable, obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) IfBefore any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or
ifrequires the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Tax or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14, as the case may
be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender
in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Tax or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or (iii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees so assigned) or the Borrower (in the case of all
52

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
other amounts so assigned), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or, in the case of an assignment resulting from notice pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such assignment will eliminate the need for such notice, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, and (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, (x) the applicable assignee shall have consented to, or shall consent to, the applicable amendment, waiver or consent and (y) the Borrower exercises its rights pursuant to this clause (b) with respect to all Non-Consenting Lenders relating to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(c) Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16.
Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) (i) Such Defaulting
Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 9.02.
(ii) (ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant
to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in
accordance with Section 2.20(i); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof
as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and
released pro rata in order to satisfy (x) such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with
respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20(i); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the
Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a
payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans, and funded and unfunded participations in
53
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
Letters of Credit, were made when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements to all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans or Letter of Credit Disbursements of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations, without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv), are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)
(iii) (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting
Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B) With respect to any Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv) (iii) (A) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce
Fronting Exposure. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the
Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation
does not cause the Total Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20 for so long as such Letter of Credit Usage is outstanding;
(C) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(ii) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage is Cash Collateralized;
54
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
(D) if the Letter of Credit Usage of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(ii) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and
(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.09(a)(ii) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Usage is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized.
(b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
Section 2.18 Incremental Facility. (a) The
Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request, prior to the Maturity Date, one or more increases to the existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the
“New Commitments”), by an aggregate amount for all New Commitments not in excess of the Incremental
Available Amount (subject to Section 1.07, determined as of the date of effectiveness of such New Commitments; provided that, in the
case of any New Commitments the proceeds of which are to be used primarily to consummate a Limited Conditionality Acquisition substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of such New Commitments, to the extent agreed to by the Borrower and the
Lenders providing such New Commitments, the Senior Net Leverage Ratio, for purposes of determining the Incremental Available Amount, shall be determined on the date the acquisition agreement with respect to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition is
signed) in the aggregate) and not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent or such lesser amount
that shall constitute the difference between the Incremental Available Amount on such date and all suchremaining amount of New Commitments obtained prior
topermitted to be incurred pursuant to this Section 2.18 at such datetime), and integral multiples
of $25,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each

such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a
date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and which may be contingent upon the closing
of an acquisition or other transaction and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an eligible assignee under Section 9.04(b), subject to approval thereof by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in the case
of a Person that is not a Lender, to the extent such approval is required in the case of an assignment to such Person pursuant to such Section 9.04(b) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (each, a
“New Lender”), to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such New Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (it being understood that the identity of such Lenders or other Persons may be amended after the
date of such notice so long as the approval requirements of this clause (B), if any, are satisfied); provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole
discretion, to provide a New Commitment. Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that, subject to Section 1.07 (except as set forth in
the parenthetical proviso to clause (1) below), (1) on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments, each of the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02(a) and (b) (with references therein to the “Effective Date” being deemed to refer instead to such Increased Amount Date and, in the case of Section 4.02(b),
before and after giving effect to such New Commitment) shall be satisfied (provided that, in the case of any New Commitments if the proceeds of
whichthe Loans under such New Commitments are to be used primarily to consummate a Limited Conditionality Acquisition substantially concurrently
with the effectiveness of such New Commitments, to the extent agreed to by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such New Commitments, (x) the only representations and warranties the accuracy
of which shall be a condition to the effectiveness of such New Commitments shall be the Specified Representations, and (y) the condition set forth in Section
4.02 shall be tested on the date the acquisition agreement with respect to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition is signed (provided that, on the date such New Commitments are effective, no
Specified Event of Default shall exist or result therefrom, (x) no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Increased Amount Date before and
after giving effect to such New Commitments (it being understood that the requirements of Section 4.02(b) shall otherwise be complied with in accordance with Section 1.07) and (y) the requirements of Section 4.02(a) shall be subject
to, if agreed to by the lenders providing such New Commitments, customary “SunGard” or other customary applicable “certain funds” conditionality provisions (including the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained
in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the lenders providing such New Commitments, but only to the extent that the Borrower or any of its Affiliates has the right to terminate its obligations under such
acquisition agreement as a result of the failure of such representation or warranty to be accurate)); (2) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by
the Borrower, each Guarantor, if any, the New Lenders and the
Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14; (3) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Sections 2.12
and 2.13 in connection with the New Commitments; and (4) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the New Lenders or the Issuing Banks in
connection with any such transaction.

and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Usage outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as
shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
interests in Letter of Credit Usage will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (ii) each New Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Revolving Loan made thereunder (a “New Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan, and (iii) each New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (i) the New Commitments and the New Lenders, and (ii) the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letter of Credit Usage, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.18.
(d) The terms and provisions (including pricing) of the New Loans shall be identical to the existing Loans.
For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) the New Loans will not be guaranteed by any Person other than (1) the Guarantors or (2) any
Person that shall, substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such New Loans, become a Guarantor and (y) the New Loans will not be secured by any assets not constituting the Collateral, unless such assets are substantially concurrently
pledged to secure the Secured Obligations on an equal and ratable basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 to the contrary, each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect
the provisionprovisions of this Section 2.18.
Section 2.19 Extension of the Maturity Date. Not earlier than 60 days prior to, nor later than 10 Business Days prior to, the Maturity Date, the Borrower may, upon written notice (the “Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), request an extension of the Maturity Date for up to one year; provided that no more than two such extensions may be requested pursuant to this Section 2.19. If the conditions in this Section 2.19 are met, the Maturity Date shall be extended to the date specified in such Extension Notice (which in no event shall be later than one year following the Maturity Date) for all Extending Lenders. If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Revolving Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice of its agreement to do so no later than 15 days after the date the applicable Extension Notice is received by the Administrative Agent (or such later date to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such Extending Lender’s agreement to extend its Revolving Commitment (confirming the date of extension and the new Maturity Date (after giving effect to such extension) applicable to such Extending Lender). The Revolving Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept or respond to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Maturity Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Maturity Date then in effect for such Lender (without regard to any extension by other Lenders) and on such Maturity Date the Borrower shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Declining Lenders. Each Extending Lender may offer to increase its respective Revolving Commitment by an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Revolving Commitments, and such Extending Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice of its offer to so increase its Revolving Commitment no later than 30 days after the date the applicable Extension Notice is received by the Administrative Agent (or such later date to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree). To the extent the
57

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
aggregate amount of additional Revolving Commitments that the Extending Lenders offer pursuant to the preceding sentence exceeds the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Revolving Commitments, such additional Revolving Commitments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. To the extent the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments that the Extending Lenders have so offered to extend is less than the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments that the Borrower has so requested to be extended, the Borrower shall have the right but not the obligation to require any Declining Lender to (and any such Declining Lender shall) assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the Extending Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an Extending Lender, increase its Revolving Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (a “New Extending Lender”), become a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 9.04, (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such assignment shall be effective on the date on or before the date the Maturity Date is so extended as may be specified by the Borrower and agreed to by the respective New Extending Lenders and Extending Lenders, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent. As a condition precedent to such extension, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower, dated as of the date of the Extension Notice, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower and the Guarantors approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, each of the conditions of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied as of the date of the Extension Notice. Any extension pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Extending Lenders, any New Extending Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provision of this Section 2.19.
Section 2.20 Letters of Credit.
(a) Letters of Credit. During the Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Banks agree to issue Letters of Credit (or amend, extend or increase an outstanding Letter of Credit) at the request and for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (the “Applicable Account Party”) in the aggregate Dollar Equivalent up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit and denominated in dollars or in a Permitted Foreign Currency; provided (i) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 for Letters of Credit issued in dollars (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in a Permitted Foreign Currency, the smallest amount of such Permitted Foreign Currency that is an integral of 100,000 units of such currency and that has a Dollar Equivalent in excess of $100,000) or, in each case, such lesser amount as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank; (ii) after giving effect to such issuance or increase, in no event shall (x) the Aggregate Total Exposure exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect or (y) any Lender’s Total Exposure exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance or increase, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, (iv) after giving effect to such issuance or increase, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank in writing, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank exceed the Letter of Credit Issuer Sublimit of such Issuing Bank then in effect, and (v) in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (A) the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (B) the date which is twelve months from the original date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the foregoing, the
58
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
applicable Issuing Bank may agree that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless the applicable Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period and provides notice to that effect to the Borrower and the Applicable Account Party; provided that such Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time such Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided, further, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless the applicable Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of such Defaulting Lender, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage at such time on terms satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the Applicable Account Party when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP 98 shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
(b) Notice of Issuance. Whenever an Applicable Account Party desires the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver
to each of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank an Application in use by the applicable Issuing Bank at that time no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of the proposed date of
issuance or amendment or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank in any particular instance. Such Application shall be accompanied by documentary and other evidence of the proposed beneficiary’s identity as may
reasonably be requested by the applicable Issuing Bank to enable the applicable Issuing Bank to verify the beneficiary’s identity or to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, including, without limitation, the USA
PatriotPATRIOT Act or as otherwise customarily requested by the applicable Issuing Bank and shall specify the currency of such Letter of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver
of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.20, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue, amend, extend or increase the requested Letter of Credit subject to no
violation of any of, and only in accordance with, the Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures as in effect from time to time. If a Letter of Credit is requested in a currency other than dollars, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to
issue such Letter of Credit if it does not issue Letters of Credit in such currency as of the requested issuance date. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, extension or increase thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such issuance, which notice from the Administrative Agent shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment, extension or increase thereof and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.20(e).
(c) Responsibility of the Issuing Banks With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary(ies) thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrower, the Applicable Account Party and the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the Applicable Account Party assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit; provided, however, the foregoing does not limit any of the Borrower’s or the Applicable Account Party’s rights against any such beneficiary. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Bank shall not be responsible or have
59
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
any liability for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (viii) for any other action or inaction taken or suffered by such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any such Letter of Credit, if required or permitted under any applicable domestic or foreign law of letter of credit practice; or (ix) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder or place such Issuing Bank under any liability to the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in “good faith” (as such term is defined in Article 5 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code), shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower or any party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.20(c), the applicable Issuing Bank shall not be excused from liability to the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
(d) Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event the applicable Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Applicable Account Party and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse (or cause the Applicable Account Party to reimburse) the applicable Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing, together with interest at the applicable rate provided in Section 2.1(i). If the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party fails to timely reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date, then (A) if the Unreimbursed Amount relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than dollars or Euros, automatically and with no further action, the obligation to reimburse such Unreimbursed Amount shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of the date when such payment was due, of such Unreimbursed Amount and (B) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Reimbursement Date, the currency and amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) (and the Dollar Equivalent thereof if the immediately preceding clause (A) is applicable), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested ABR Loans to be
60
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
disbursed on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20(d) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing (which confirmation may be by telecopy or other electronic transmission); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless the Borrower (or the Applicable Account Party) shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that the Borrower (or the Applicable Account Party) intends to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank on such date for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 4.02, Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent (determined in accordance with Section 1.06) of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided, further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the applicable Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower shall (or shall cause the Applicable Account Party to) reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in immediately available funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.20(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.20(d).
(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance or increase of each Letter of Credit, without any further action by any Person, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Lender and each Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder (each such Lender purchasing a participation, a “Participating Lender”). In the event that the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party shall fail for any reason to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.20(d), the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent who will notify each Participating Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Commitments. Each Participating Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective participation, and in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent is located) after the date notified by the applicable Issuing Bank. In the event that any Participating Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.20(e), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by such
61
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.20(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Participating Lender to recover from the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.20 in the event that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of such Issuing Bank. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, extension, or increase of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Rule 3.13 and Rule 3.14 of ISP 98) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or after the expiration or termination of the Commitments or any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including those set forth in the following paragraph (f), and that each such payment shall be made without any defense, offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, extending, or increasing any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, extended, or increased (or, in the case of an automatic extension permitted pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Required Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, extended, or increased (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, extend, or increase any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). In the event the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.20(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.20(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments subsequently received by such Issuing Bank from the Borrower or the Applicable Account Party in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the Administrative Questionnaire or at such other address as such Lender may request.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower and each Applicable Account Party to reimburse each Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.20(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (1) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which the Borrower, any Applicable Account Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary(ies) for which any Letter of Credit
62
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
was procured); (iii) any draft or 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; (iv) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower, any Applicable Account Party or any Subsidiaries or any other Person; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto; (vii) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Rule 3.13 and Rule 3.14 of ISP 98) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or after the expiration or termination of the Commitments, (viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (ix) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Borrower under Section 9.03, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save and hold harmless the Issuing Banks from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages and losses, and all reasonable and documented costs, charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of one primary counsel (with exceptions for conflicts of interest), one regulatory counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), which the Issuing Banks may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of, or arising out of, in any way being connected with, or as a result of (A) any Letter of Credit, including without limitation, the use of the proceeds therefrom and any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the failure of the applicable Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act. The Borrower will pay all amounts owing under this Section promptly after written demand therefor.
(h) Resignation and Removal of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank by providing at least 60 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent will be required if the replaced Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto outstanding), the other Issuing Banks, if any, and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced or resigning Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (i) any successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, (a) the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09 and (b) the replaced Issuing Bank may at its option remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation. After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letters of Credit.

(i) Cash Collateral. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with Letter of Credit Usage representing greater than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Usage) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to the Agreed L/C Cash Collateral Amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (1) any such required Cash Collateral shall be made in dollars unless such Cash Collateral is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency or outstanding Letter of Credit Disbursements made in a Permitted Foreign Currency (in which cash such Cash Collateral shall be deposited in the applicable Permitted Foreign Currency in an amount equal to the Agreed L/C Cash Collateral Amount of such undrawn Letters of Credit or outstanding Letter of Credit Disbursements) and (ii) the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such Cash Collateral shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h), (i) or (j). Such Cash Collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such Cash Collateral, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such Cash Collateral shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for any disbursements under Letters of Credit made by it and for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Letter of Credit Usage at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Letter of Credit Usage representing greater than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Usage), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (or as otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) within five Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(j) Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.20, the provisions of this Section 2.20 shall apply.

Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
Section 8.05 Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective Related Parties have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Loans and/or Letters of Credit issued hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Affiliates. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.
(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, an Assignment and Assumption, an Extension Agreement or a Joinder Agreement and funding its Loans, if applicable, on the Effective Date, or by the funding of any New Loans, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, as applicable on the Effective Date, the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption or as of the date of funding of such New Loans.
Section 8.06 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Applicable Percentage, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
93
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (it being understood and agreed that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.02) shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.
Section 8.07 Successor Administrative Agent.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Administrative Agent hereunder, subject to the written consent of the Borrower and the reasonable satisfaction of the Required Lenders, and Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earliest of (i) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), (ii) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders and the acceptance of being Administrative Agent by such successor, or (iii) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the written consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.
(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(c) (c) of the
definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, appoint a
successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective
Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c) (d) If neither the Required Lenders nor Administrative
Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent or such successor has not accepted such appointment within 30 days after delivery of notice of resignation by the retiring Administrative Agent or the Removal Effective Date, the Required Lenders
shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and
such successor accepts such appointment. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums held under the Loan Documents,
together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties
94

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the Loan Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Article 8). After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.03 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 8.08 Guaranty.
(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders with respect to the
Holdings Guaranty, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents. Subject to Section 9.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Lender or any Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments
necessary to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.17 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02) have otherwise
consented.
(a) (b) Anything contained in any of the
Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby agree that none of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks shall have any right individually to enforce the Holdings Guaranty
or the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.
(b) (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or any other Loan Document, when all Secured Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge
Agreements and Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreements and contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon
request of the Borrower, Administrative Agent shall take such actions as shall be required to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document. Any such release of
guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Secured
Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or
any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had
not been made.
Section 8.09 Actions in Concert. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, 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 Notes (other than exercising any rights of setoff) or the Secured Hedge Agreements or the Secured Cash Management Agreements without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Administrative Agent or Required Lenders; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (i) each Lender shall be entitled to file a proof of claim in any proceeding under any Insolvency Law to the extent that such Lender disagrees with Agent’s composite proof of claim filed on behalf of all Lenders, (ii) each Lender shall be entitled to vote its claim with respect to any plan of reorganization in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law and (iii) each Lender shall be entitled to pursue its deficiency claim after liquidation of all or substantially all of the Collateral and application of the proceeds therefrom.

Section 8.10
Section 8.09 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or any Issuing Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable
withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank because the appropriate form was not
delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender or such Issuing Bank failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other
reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses,
allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.
Section 8.11 Section 8.10
Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal
of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;
(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under Sections 2.09 and 9.03 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and, in each case, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each other Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the other Agents, the Lenders and/or the Issuing Banks, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 9.03. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 9.03 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the other Agents, the Lenders and/or the Issuing Banks may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise.

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any other Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
Section 8.12 Intercreditor Agreements. The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to, without any further consent of any Lender or any other Secured Party, enter into (or acknowledge and consent to) or amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify (i) the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the Senior Representative(s) of Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted hereunder and intended to be pari passu with the Liens securing the Secured Obligations under this Agreement and (iii) any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the Senior Representative(s) of the holders of Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted hereunder and intended to be junior to the Liens securing the Secured Obligations under this Agreement. The Lenders and the other Secured Parties irrevocably agree that (x) the Administrative Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of an Officer of the Borrower as to whether the Liens governed by such Intercreditor Agreement and the priority of such Liens as contemplated thereby are not prohibited and (y) any Intercreditor Agreement entered into by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on the Secured Parties, and each Lender and the other Secured Parties hereby agrees that it will take no actions contrary to the provisions of, if entered into and if applicable, any Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to any provider of any secured Specified Indebtedness not prohibited by Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 hereof to extend credit to the Loan Parties and such persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions. Further, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall enter into, or amend, any Intercreditor Agreement to permit the incurrence of any Specified Indebtedness permitted to be secured by the Collateral hereunder.
Section 8.13 Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Guarantee or any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.13 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).
(b) (c) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article 2 unless
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function,
as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended
recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice
99

(c) (d) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (provided that any Lender may change its address or telecopy number by notice solely to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower).
(d) (e) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another
similar electronic system (the “Platform”). THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability
for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of
third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the
“Agent Parties”) be responsible or liable for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person arising from the unauthorized use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information
transmission, including, without limitation, the transmission of Communications through the Platform, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Agent Party (as determined in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Loan
Party provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section
9.01, including through the Platform.
(e) (f) In the
event the Borrower shall have any Equity Interests or other securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise files or is required to file reports
under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be Public Lenders and, if any document, notice or other information required to be delivered hereunder is being distributed
through the Platform, any information that the Borrower has indicated contains Non-Public Information will not be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such Public Lenders. If the Borrower has
not indicated whether a document, notice or other information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contains Non-Public Information, the Administrative Agent
reserves the right to post such information solely on the portion of the Platform designated for Lenders that wish to receive material Non-Public Information with respect to the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and
its and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.01(e) shall create any obligation on the Borrower to indicate whether any information contains Non-Public Information, it
being further agreed that if any such indication is provided by the Borrower in its discretion, such indication shall create no obligation on the Borrower to provide any such indication in the future.
(f) (g) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one
individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the
100
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United State federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Non Public
Information with respect to the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or its or their securities.
Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.
(a) Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph
(b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit
shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. Notwithstanding
the foregoing Borrower and Administrative Agent may, without the consent of the other Lenders, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement and any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, typographical error, defect or inconsistency if
such amendment, modification or supplement if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof. None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or
thereof may be waived, amended or modified (other than the Agent Fee Letter, which may be amended in accordance with its terms) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) extend or increase
the Commitment of any Lender or any Issuing Bank (including, without limitation, amending the definition of “Applicable Percentage”) without the written consent of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, (ii) reduce the
principal amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby and, in the case of any Letter of Credit, the
applicable Issuing bank, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby and, if applicable, the applicable Issuing Bank; provided, however, that notwithstanding clause (ii) or
(iii) of this Section 9.02(b), only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.10(h), (iv) change
Section 2.15(b), Section 2.15(c) or any other Section hereof providing for the ratable treatment of the Lenders, in each case in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the
written consent of each Lender, (v) release any Holdings Guaranty or all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties provided by the Guarantors, without the written consent of each Lender, except to the extent the release of any Guarantor is
permitted pursuant to Article 8 or Section 9.17 (in which case such release may be made by the Administrative Agent acting alone), (vi) release all or substantially all of
the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender (it being
101
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
understood that additional Loans pursuant to Section 2.18 may be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral with the then existing
Secured Obligations under the Security Documents), except to the extent the release of any Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 9.17 (in which case such release may be made by the Administrative Agent acting alone), (vii) change any
of the provisions of this Section or the percentage referred to in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender or (viiviii) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01
(other than as it relates to the payment of fees and expenses of counsel), or, in the case of any Loans made on the Effective Date, Section 4.02, without the written consent of each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, as
the case may be (it being understood that any change to Sections 2.17 and 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended as contemplated by (i) Section 2.18 to effect New Commitments pursuant to a Joinder Agreement with only the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the New Lenders providing New Commitments, and (ii) Section 2.19 to effect an extension pursuant to an Extension Agreement with only the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Extending Lenders and the New Extending Lenders.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders or each directly affected Lender, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver; provided, however, that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest or fees owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender (other than in connection with the waiver of any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.10(h)) or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this paragraph, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender’s consent is required to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement, or to effect any amendment, modification or supplement to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any other Intercreditor Agreement permitted under this Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Indebtedness permitted hereunder (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement or in any document pertaining to any Indebtedness permitted hereby that is permitted to be secured by the Collateral, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor or subordination agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, as determined in the good faith by the Administrative Agent, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement (or the comparable provisions, if any, of any other

retains its own counsel, of another primary firm of counsel for such affected person (and if reasonably necessary (as determined by such affected person in consultation with the Borrower), of a single regulatory counsel and a single local counsel in
each appropriate jurisdiction)), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans

The Borrower will not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee in the settlement of any such indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or reasonable and documented expenses which is entered into by such Indemnitee without Borrower’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the Borrower was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to so assume.

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in subsection (c) of this Section 9.04), Indemnitees (to the extent provided in Section 9.03) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(A) the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the Issuing Banks (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(ii) (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following
additional conditions:
(D) (A) except in the
case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans and subject to Section 2.16(c), the amount of the
Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$15,000,000 (or a greater amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000), unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing;
(E) (B)
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

non-
105

public information about the Borrower and its Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;
(H) (E) no such assignment shall be made to
(1i) any Loan Party nor any Affiliate of a Loan Party, (ii) any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person, who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii), or (iii) any natural person;
(I) (F) in connection with any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the
Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with
the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Revolving Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate)
its full pro rata share of all Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective
under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs; and
(J) (G) (a) No assignment or participation
shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning or participating Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate, as applicable, all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a
Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or Participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of
the delivery of a supplement to the list of competitorsCompetitors pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such
assignee or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or Participant (but such Person shall not be able to increase its Commitments or participations hereunder) and (y) such assignment or participation and, in
the case of an assignment, the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation
in violation of this clause (G)(a) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (G)(a) shall apply.
(b) The
Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions and any updates thereto from time to time on the
Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (13B) provide the list of Disqualified Institutions and any
updates thereto to each Lender or Participant requesting the same.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14 and Section 9.03); provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 9.04.
(iv) (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitment of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest
error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. 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. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 9.04(b)(iv), except to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent. The Loans (including principal and interest) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of any Lender or its assigns in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the
Register.
(v) (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed
Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), Section 2.15(d) or
Section 8.06, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all
accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

Subject to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(G), any Lender may, (x) prior to an IPO, without the consent of, or notice to, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks but with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for a participation to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Participant; and provided,
further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such participation unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (y) after
an IPO, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (but not to the Borrower or an Affiliate thereof) (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) prior to an IPO, unless consented to by the Borrower, no
Participant (other than (x) a Participant that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (y) if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Participant) shall receive information regarding the
Borrower and its subsidiaries or this revolving credit facility provided pursuant to this Agreement (other than administrative notices delivered pursuant to Article 2). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender.
(ii) (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Sections 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a Change in Law requiring a payment under Section 2.12 that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to
use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16(b) with respect to any Participant.
(iii) (iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall,
acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the
Revolving Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that such commitment, loan,

letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions

of this Section 9.07, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other obligations at any time owing by such Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Issuing Bank and each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Issuing Bank or such Lender may have. Each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 9.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Administrative Agent’s taking possession or the Administrative Agent’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article IX in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor.

SECTION 9.4. Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.
(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall not be deemed unreasonable solely because it is a restricted sale and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.
(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Equity, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Equity for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed unreasonable solely because it is a private sale and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) If the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall from time to time furnish to the Administrative Agent all such information as the Administrative Agent may request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Pledged Equity which may be sold by the Administrative Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the SEC thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
(e) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants (except for a defense (i) that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) of payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable)).

SECTION 9.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available.
(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 9.6. Certain Additional Actions Regarding Pledged IP Collateral. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Administrative Agent, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 11.1. Concerning Administrative Agent.
(a) The Administrative Agent has been appointed as administrative agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The actions of the Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Administrative Agent may resign and a successor Administrative Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Secured Parties nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Equity, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
18

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
(d) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Administrative Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the provisions hereof shall control.
(e) The Administrative Agent may rely on advice of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in Section 4.5 hereof. If any Pledgor fails to provide information to the Administrative Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Pledgor’s property constituting Pledged Collateral, for which the Administrative Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Administrative Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Administrative Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.
SECTION 11.2. Administrative Agent May Perform; Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral, (ii) make repairs, (iii) discharge Liens or (iv) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon notice to the Pledgor do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time solely after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the failure of such Pledgors to take such required actions as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11.2 in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish
19
Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.
Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
the purposes hereof (but the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
SECTION 11.3. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other Persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Each of the Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise.
SECTION 11.4. Termination; Release. When all the Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), this Agreement shall automatically terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Pledged Collateral shall automatically be released from the Lien of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, the Liens on the Pledged Collateral shall be released from the Liens of this Agreement, without the need for any action by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement. Upon such release or any release of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent except as to the fact that the Administrative Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Administrative Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.
SECTION 11.5. Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and

Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Credit Agreement, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as to any Pledgor, addressed to it at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement and as to the Administrative Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Credit Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11.6.
SECTION 11.7. Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 9.09 and 9.10 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.
SECTION 11.8. Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 11.9. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION 11.10. Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.
SECTION 11.11. No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition. Such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Credit Agreement, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.
21

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83
SECTION 11.12. No Claims Against Administrative Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Administrative Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Administrative Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.
SECTION 11.13. No Release. Except as set forth in Section 11.4, nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Pledged Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Pledged Collateral hereunder.
SECTION 11.14. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(iv) any pledge, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;
(v) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement; or
(vi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor, other than payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable).
SECTION 11.15. Intercreditor Agreement Governs.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the priority of the Liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject to the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and any other Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and any other Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement regarding the priority of the Liens and the security interests granted to the Administrative Agent or exercise of any rights or remedies by the Administrative Agent, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any Grantor is required hereunder to deliver Collateral to, or the possession or control by, the Administrative Agent for purposes of possession and/or “control” (as such term is used herein) and is unable to do so as a result of having previously delivered such Collateral to another Authorized Representative (as defined in the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or another Intercreditor Agreement, such Grantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such delivery shall be deemed complied with and satisfied by the delivery to such Authorized Representative (as defined in the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement), as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the benefit of each other First-Priority Secured Party (as defined in the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement).
(c) Any reference in this Agreement to a “first priority security interest” or words of similar effect in describing the security interests created hereunder shall be understood to refer to such priority subject to the claims of the Controlling Authorized Representative (as defined in the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) as provided in the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or any other Intercreditor Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Security Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein having the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement), dated as of July 13, 2016, made by UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors from time to time party thereto and XXXXXX XXXXXXX SENIOR FUNDING, INC., as administrative agent (in such capacity and together with any successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of June 26, 2015 among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time).
This Joinder Agreement supplements the Security Agreement and is delivered by the undersigned, [ ] (the “New Pledgor”), pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Security Agreement. The New Pledgor hereby agrees to be bound as a Guarantor and as a Pledgor party to the Security Agreement by all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Security Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Security Agreement on the date of the Security Agreement. The New Pledgor also hereby agrees to be bound as a party by all of the terms, covenants and conditions applicable to it as a “Guarantor” and a “Loan Party” under the Credit Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a Guarantor and a Loan Party under the Credit Agreement on the execution date of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Pledgor hereby grants and pledges to the Administrative Agent, as collateral security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a Lien on and security interest in, all of

Annexed hereto are supplements to each of the schedules to the Security Agreement with respect to the New Pledgor. Such supplements shall be deemed to be part of the Security Agreement.
This Joinder Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
