|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

2.4.    Termination, Reduction, and Reallocation of Construction/Term Loan Commitments

(a)    All unused Construction/Term Loan Commitments, if any, shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the last day of the Construction/Term Loan Availability Period.

(b)    The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the TCF Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Senior Lenders), terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part portions of the Construction/Term Loan Commitments; provided, that any such partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided, further, that any such cancelation prior to the Project Completion Date shall only be permitted if the funds under the cancelled Construction/Term Loan Commitments are not reasonably expected to be necessary to achieve the Project Completion Date by the Date Certain (as confirmed by the TCF Administrative Agent in consultation with the Independent Engineer); provided, further, that a notice of termination or reduction may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or debt instruments, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the TCF Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Borrower shall specify in any reduction notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) the specific sub-commitments that are being reduced.

(c)    From and after April 1, 2025, upon the incurrence of any Replacement Debt, the Construction/Term Loan Commitments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis between the outstanding Construction/Term Loan Commitments hereunder and the outstanding “Construction/Term Loan Commitments” under and as defined in the CD Credit Agreement by an amount equal to (i) the commitment amount of such Replacement Debt minus (ii) the amounts set forth in Section 2.4(b)(i)(B)-(E F) (Replacement Debt) of the Common Terms Agreement. The Borrower shall provide notice (each a “Replacement Debt Commitment Reduction Notice”) to the TCF Administrative Agent of any anticipated reduction in commitments pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) by no later than 1:00 pm on the second Business Day prior to the date of such anticipated reduction in commitments, which notice the TCF Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to each Senior Lender on the same day that it is received from the Borrower; provided, that such notice of termination or reduction by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or debt instruments, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the TCF Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each Specified Senior Lender may, by notice to the TCF Administrative Agent in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing) no later than 5:00 pm one Business Day after receipt of a Replacement Debt Commitment Reduction Notice elect to decline all (but not less than all) of such reduction in Construction/Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) (the amount of such declined Construction/Term Loan Commitment reductions hereinafter referred to as the “Declined Replacement Debt Commitments”). The aggregate amount of Declined Replacement Debt Commitments shall be

8

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

allocated to the Non-Declining Senior Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the aggregate amount of their respective unfunded Construction/Term Loan Commitments; provided, that, if the amount of Declined Replacement Debt Commitments exceeds the aggregate amount of unfunded Construction/Term Loan Commitments held by the Non-Declining Senior Lenders (such excess amounts (if any), the “Excess Replacement Debt Commitments”), the Excess Replacement Debt Commitments shall be allocated to the Specified Senior Lenders that have declined Replacement Debt on a pro rata basis in accordance with the aggregate amount of their respective unfunded Construction/Term Loan Commitments. For purposes of this Section 2.4(c), Replacement Debt shall be deemed “incurred” upon the execution of the Senior Secured Debt Instruments in respect thereof (irrespective of the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent thereunder to the initial disbursement thereof or initial issuance of letters of credit thereunder).

(d)    All unused Construction/Term Loan Commitments, if any, shall be terminated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default if required pursuant to Section 12.1 or Section 12.2 in accordance with the terms thereof.

(e)    Any termination or reduction of the Construction/Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be permanent.

2.5.    Notice of Term Conversion

The Borrower shall deliver to the TCF Administrative Agent and the P1 Collateral Agent a properly completed Notice of Term Conversion, no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the proposed Term Conversion Date; provided, that the Borrower may not provide a Notice of Term Conversion more than thirty Business Days prior to the proposed Term Conversion Date.

2.10.    Borrowings of Construction/Term Loans

(a)    Subject to Section 5.4, each Senior Lender may (without relieving the Borrower of its obligation to repay a Construction/Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Construction/Term Loan Notes) at its option fulfill its Construction/Term Loan Commitments with respect to any such Construction/

9

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Term Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Senior Lender to make such Construction/Term Loan.

(b)    Unless the TCF Administrative Agent has been notified in writing by any Senior Lender prior to a proposed Borrowing Date that such Senior Lender will not make available to the TCF Administrative Agent its portion of the Construction/Term Loan Borrowing proposed to be made on such date, the TCF Administrative Agent may assume that such Senior Lender has made such amounts available to the TCF Administrative Agent on such date and the TCF Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the TCF Administrative Agent by such Senior Lender and the TCF Administrative Agent has made such amount available to the Borrower, the TCF Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Senior Lender such corresponding amount plus interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the TCF Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the TCF Administrative Agent at an interest rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Senior Lender pays such corresponding amount (together with such interest), then such corresponding amount so paid shall constitute such Senior Lender’s Construction/Term Loan included in such Construction/Term Loan Borrowing. If such Senior Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the TCF Administrative Agent’s demand, the TCF Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall promptly repay such corresponding amount to the TCF Administrative Agent plus interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the TCF Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the TCF Administrative Agent at an interest rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. If the TCF Administrative Agent receives payment of the corresponding amount from each of the Borrower and such Senior Lender, the TCF Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower such corresponding amount. If the TCF Administrative Agent receives payment of interest on such corresponding amount from each of the Borrower and such Senior Lender for an overlapping period, the TCF Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Senior Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Construction/Term Loan Commitments hereunder and any payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Senior Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the TCF Administrative Agent. The failure of any Senior Lender to make available to the TCF Administrative Agent its portion of the Construction/Term Loan Borrowing shall not relieve any other Senior Lender of its obligations, if any, hereunder to make available to the TCF Administrative Agent its portion of the Construction/Term Loan Borrowing on the date of such Construction/Term Loan Borrowing, but no Senior Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Senior Lender to make available to the TCF Administrative Agent such other Senior Lender’s portion of the Construction/Term Loan Borrowing on the date of any Construction/Term Loan Borrowing. A notice of the TCF Administrative

10

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Agent to any Senior Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.10(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)    Each of the Senior Lenders shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Senior Lender resulting from each Construction/Term Loan made by such Senior Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Senior Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d)    The TCF Administrative Agent shall maintain at the TCF Administrative Agent’s office (i) a copy of any Lender Assignment Agreement or Affiliated Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to it pursuant to Section 14.4 and (ii) a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Senior Lenders, and all the Construction/Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest on the Construction/Term Loans owing and paid to, each Senior Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and of amounts received by the TCF Administrative Agent from the Borrower and whether such amounts constitute principal, interest, fees, or other amounts and each Senior Lender’s share thereof (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Senior Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)    The entries made by the TCF Administrative Agent in the Register or the accounts maintained by any Senior Lender shall be conclusive and binding evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Senior Lender or the TCF Administrative Agent to maintain such Register or accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Construction/Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Senior Lender and the accounts and records of the TCF Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the TCF Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(f)    The Borrower agrees that in addition to such accounts or records described in Section 2.10(d) and Section 2.10(e), the Construction/Term Loans made by each Senior Lender shall, upon the request of any Senior Lender, be evidenced by one or more Construction/Term Loan Notes duly executed on behalf of the Borrower and shall be dated the Closing Date (or, if later, the date of any request therefor by a Senior Lender). Each such Construction/Term Loan Note shall have all blanks appropriately filled in, and shall be payable to such Senior Lender and its registered assigns in a principal amount equal to the Construction/Term Loan Commitment of such Senior Lender (it being understood that the principal amount of the Construction/Term Loan Commitment of each Senior Lender shall be allocated amongst its Construction/Term Loan Notes such that the aggregate principal amount of such Construction/Term Loan Notes equals such Senior Lender’s Construction/Term Loan Commitment); provided, that each Senior Lender may attach schedules to its respective Construction/Term Loan Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount, and maturity of its respective Construction/Term Loans and payments with respect thereto.

11

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

2.11.    Extensions of Construction/Term Loans

(a)    The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, but only with the written consent of Total Holdings, request that all or a portion of the Construction/Term Loans outstanding at the time of such request (any such Construction/Term Loans, “Existing Construction/Term Loans”) be converted to extend the scheduled final maturity date of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Construction/Term Loans (any such Construction/Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Construction/Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.11. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment (as defined below) with respect to any Extended Construction/Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the P1 Intercreditor Agent and the TCF Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Senior Lenders of the Existing Construction/Term Loans and which such request shall be offered equally to all such Senior Lenders) (an “Construction/Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Construction/Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to the Existing Construction/Term Loans, except that (i) the Extended Construction/Term Loans may constitute a separate class of Construction/Term Loans than the Existing Construction/Term Loans and may have distinct voting rights with respect to such class, (ii) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Construction/Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Existing Construction/Term Loans (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 4.1 with respect to the Existing Construction/Term Loans from which such Extended Construction/Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.11(c) below) (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Construction/Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Existing Construction/Term Loans), (iii) (A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts, and premiums with respect to the Extended Construction/Term Loans may be different than those for the Existing Construction/Term Loans and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Senior Lenders providing such Extended Construction/Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, and (iv) (A) the Extended Construction/Term Loans may have call protection and prepayment premiums related to optional prepayment terms as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Extending Senior Lenders thereof and (B) the Extended Construction/Term Loans may participate with the Existing Construction/Term Loans on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Extending Senior Lenders thereof; provided, that the Borrower shall have demonstrated by delivery of an updated Base Case Forecast that all Senior Secured Debt (after taking into account the Construction/Term Loans converted to extend the related scheduled

12

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

final maturity date in accordance with this clause (a)) outstanding at such time is capable of amortization such that the Credit Agreement Projected DSCR commencing on the Initial Principal Payment Date and for each rolling four Fiscal Quarter period (as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter) through the expiration of the term of the Notional Amortization Period shall not be less than 1.45:1.00. No Senior Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Construction/Term Loans converted into Extended Construction/Term Loans pursuant to any Construction/Term Loan Extension Request and no such refusal shall in and of itself entitle the Borrower to exercise rights under Section 5.4 with respect to such refusing Senior Lender.

(b)    The Borrower shall provide the applicable Construction/Term Loan Extension Request at least thirty days (or such shorter period as the TCF Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) prior to the date on which Senior Lenders are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the TCF Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.11. Any Senior Lender (an “Extending Senior Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Construction/Term Loans subject to such Construction/Term Loan Extension Request converted into Extended Construction/Term Loans shall notify the TCF Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Construction/Term Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Existing Construction/Term Loans subject to such Construction/Term Loan Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Construction/Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the TCF Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of the Construction/Term Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Construction/Term Loans requested pursuant to the Construction/Term Loan Extension Request, Existing Construction/Term Loans shall be converted to Extended Construction/Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Existing Construction/Term Loans included in each such Extension Election (subject to rounding).

(c)    Extended Construction/Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.11(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 14.1, shall not require the consent of any Senior Lender other than the Extending Senior Lenders with respect to the Extended Construction/Term Loans established thereby) executed by the Borrower, the TCF Administrative Agent and the Extending Senior Lenders. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by this Section 2.11 above, each Extension Amendment shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 4.1 with respect to the Existing Construction/Term Loans to reduce each scheduled repayment amount for the Existing Construction/Term Loans in the same proportion as the amount of Existing Construction/Term Loans is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any repayment amount payable with respect to any individual Existing Construction/Term Loan that is not an Extended Construction/Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof). It is understood and agreed that each Senior Lender hereunder has consented, and

13

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent, to each amendment to this Agreement and the other TCF Financing Documents authorized by this Section 2.11 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Construction/Term Loans are converted to extend the related scheduled final maturity date in accordance with clause (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Construction/Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Construction/Term Loans so converted by such Senior Lender on such date.

(e)    No exchange or conversion of Construction/Term Loans or Construction/Term Loan Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall (i) be made at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement or the other TCF Financing Documents.

3.    [RESERVED]

4.    REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

4.1.    Repayment of Construction/Term Loan Borrowings

(a)    The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably promises to pay to the TCF Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Senior Lender the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Construction/Term Loans on each Principal Payment Date, in accordance with the Amortization Schedule.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.1(a), the final principal repayment installment on the Credit Agreement Maturity Date shall in any event be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Construction/Term Loans outstanding on such date.

4.2.    [Reserved]

4.3.    Interest Payment Dates

(a)    Interest accrued on each Construction/Term Loan shall be payable, without duplication, on the following dates (each, an “Interest Payment Date”):

Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Construction/Term Loan Borrowing to a Construction/Term Loan Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Construction/Term Loan Borrowing as a Construction/Term Loan Borrowing of the same Type, all as provided in this Section 4.5; provided that no SOFR Loan may be converted into a Base Rate Loan on any date other than the Quarterly Payment a Monthly Transfer Date of such SOFR Loan. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Construction/Term Loan Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Senior Lenders holding the Construction/Term Loans comprising such Construction/Term Loan Borrowing, and the Construction/Term Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Construction/Term Loan Borrowing.

(b)    Notice of Elections. Each such election pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the TCF Administrative Agent.

(e)    Failure to Make an Interest Election Request; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Construction/Term Loan Borrowing comprising SOFR Loans prior to the Interest Payment Monthly Transfer Date therefor, then, unless such Construction/Term Loan Borrowing comprising SOFR Loans is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Construction/Term Loan Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a Construction/Term Loan Borrowing comprising SOFR Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon Daily Compounded SOFR as of such Interest Payment Monthly Transfer Date. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, so long as such Default or Event of Default is continuing no outstanding Construction/Term Loan Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans may be converted to a Construction/Term Loan Borrowing comprised of SOFR Loans.

4.6.    Post-Maturity Interest Rates; Default Interest Rates

If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Construction/Term Loan is not paid when due (whether on the Credit Agreement Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise) or any Obligation under this Agreement (other than principal on the Construction/Term Loans) is not paid when due (whether on the Credit Agreement Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise), such amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Default Rate from the date of such non-payment until the amount then due is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

The TCF Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate applicable to the Construction/Term Loans and shall give prompt notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Senior Lenders.

(b)    Interest shall accrue on each Construction/Term Loan for the day on which the Construction/Term Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Construction/Term

17

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

(d)    The Borrower hereby authorizes each Senior Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Senior Lender is not made when due under this Agreement or under the Construction/Term Loan Notes held by such Senior Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Senior Lender any amount so due.

4.13.    Fees

(b)    All Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, as pro-rated for any partial period, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to pay any Commitment Fee to any Senior Lender with respect to any period in which such Senior Lender was a Defaulting Lender.

25

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

(c)    Except as otherwise required under Article 5, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Construction/Term Loans shall be allocated by the TCF Administrative Agent pro rata among the Senior Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Construction/Term Loans in any Tranche, and each payment of interest on the Construction/Term Loans in any Tranche shall be allocated by the TCF Administrative Agent pro rata among the Senior Lenders in accordance with the respective interest amounts outstanding on the Construction/Term Loans in any Tranche held by them. Each payment of the Commitment Fees shall be allocated by the TCF Administrative Agent pro rata among the applicable Senior Lenders in accordance with their respective Construction/Term Loan Commitments.

4.15.    Sharing of Payments

(a)    If any Senior Lender obtains any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Construction/Term Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Article 5) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all Senior Lenders holding Construction/Term Loans, such Senior Lender shall purchase from the other Senior Lenders (for cash at face value) such participations in Construction/Term Loans of such type made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Senior Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Senior Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Senior Lender that has sold a participation to the purchasing Senior Lender shall repay to the purchasing Senior Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Senior Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such selling Senior Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Senior Lender to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Senior Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Senior Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Senior Lender so purchasing a participation from another Senior Lender pursuant to this Section 4.15(a) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 14.14) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Senior Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by any Senior Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Construction/Term Loans to which it has a participation interest.

(b)    If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Senior Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.15 applies, then such Senior Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Senior Lenders entitled under this Section 4.15 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

4.16.    Defaulting Lender Waterfall

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other TCF Financing Document to the contrary, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the TCF Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 12 or otherwise) or received by the TCF Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 14.14 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the TCF Administrative Agent as follows: (a) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the TCF Administrative Agent or P1 Collateral Agent hereunder, and (b) second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Construction/Term Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the TCF Administrative Agent, (c) third, if so determined by the TCF Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to the Construction/Term Loans under this Agreement, (d) fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Senior Lenders as a result of any final and Non-Appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Senior Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (e) fifth, 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 final and Non-Appealable 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 (f) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a final and Non-Appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of Construction/Term Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not funded its appropriate share and (y) such Construction/Term Loans were made during a period when the applicable conditions to such Construction/Term Loan Borrowing or issuance set forth in Article 7 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Construction/Term Loans of all Senior Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Construction/Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender, until such time as all Construction/Term Loans are held by the Senior Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Construction/Term Loan Commitments. 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 4.16 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Senior Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

4.17.    Defaulting Lender Cure

If the Borrower and the TCF Administrative Agent agree in writing that any Senior Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the TCF Administrative Agent will so notify the Parties, 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 Senior Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Construction/Term Loans of the other Senior Lenders or take such other actions as the TCF Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Construction/Term Loans to be held pro rata by the Senior Lenders in accordance with

27

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

the Construction/Term Loan Commitments, whereupon such Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Senior Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

4.18.    Termination of Senior Secured IR Hedge Transactions in Connection with Mandatory Prepayments with Collateral Proceeds

If any mandatory prepayment of the Senior Secured Debt is made by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.10(a)(i), 4.10(a)(ii), 4.10(a)(iv), 4.10(a)(v), or 4.10(b), then the Borrower (a) shall terminate or, to the extent permitted by the applicable Senior Secured IR Hedge Agreement, transfer or novate, a portion of one or more Senior Secured IR Hedge Transactions such that the aggregate notional amount (after giving effect to any Offsetting Transactions) of the Senior Secured IR Hedge Transactions satisfies the maximum hedging requirements of the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.9 (Interest Rate Hedging) of the Common Terms Agreement and Section 9.5 and (b) may, pursuant to Section 4.9 (Interest Rate Hedging) of the Common Terms Agreement and Section 8.11, terminate or, to the extent permitted by the applicable Senior Secured IR Hedge Agreements, transfer or novate, a portion of one or more Senior Secured IR Hedge Transactions such that, after giving pro forma effect to such prepayment of Senior Secured Debt, the aggregate notional amount of the Senior Secured IR Hedge Transactions across all Senior Secured IR Hedge Counterparties is not less than the minimum hedging requirements of the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.9 (Interest Rate Hedging) of the Common Terms Agreement and Section 8.11.

5.    SOFR, BENCHMARK, AND TAX PROVISIONS

5.1.    Illegality

In the event that it becomes unlawful or, by reason of a Change in Law, any Senior Lender is unable to honor its obligation to make, maintain or fund SOFR Loans or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Daily Compounded SOFR, then such Senior Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of such event (with a copy to the TCF Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”) and such Senior Lender’s obligation to make or to continue SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into SOFR Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such time as such Senior Lender may again make and maintain SOFR Loans. During such period of suspension, the Base Rate shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the TCF Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”. Upon receipt of such Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Senior Lender (with a copy to the TCF Administrative Agent), prepay or if applicable, convert each SOFR Loan made by such Senior Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loan shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the TCF Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the Quarterly Payment Monthly Transfer Date therefor for such SOFR Loan, or immediately if any Senior Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion of all of the aggregate principal amount under any outstanding SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.5. At the Borrower’s request, each Senior Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts, including using reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Construction/Term Loans or to assign its rights and obligations under the TCF Financing Documents to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Senior Lender,

29

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or avoid such illegality and (b) would not subject such Senior Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Senior Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Senior Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

5.2.    Inability to Determine Rates

(a)    Subject to Section 5.7, if, as of any date:

(i)    the TCF Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Compounded SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii)    the Majority Senior Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any SOFR Loan, any request therefor or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Daily Compounded SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Senior Lenders of making and maintaining such Construction/Term Loan, and the Majority Senior Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the TCF Administrative Agent,

then, in each case, the TCF Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Senior Lender.

(b)    Upon notice thereof by the TCF Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Senior Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans) until the TCF Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (a)(ii), at the instruction of the Majority Senior Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately. Upon any such conversion of all of the aggregate principal amount under any outstanding SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.5. Subject to Section 5.7, if the TCF Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Compounded SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the TCF Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the TCF Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

30

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

5.3.    Increased Costs

(a)    If any Change in Law shall (i) (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Senior Lender, (B) subject the TCF Administrative Agent or any Senior Lender or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (C) impose on any Senior Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Construction/Term Loans made by such Senior Lender, and (ii) the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Person of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Construction/Term Loan to the Borrower or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrower will pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (except to the extent the Borrower is excused from payment pursuant to Section 5.4).

(b)    If any Senior Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Senior Lender’s capital or (without duplication) on the capital of such Senior Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Construction/Term Loans made by such Senior Lender, to a level below that which such Senior Lender, or its holding company, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Senior Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon notice by such Senior Lender, the Borrower shall pay within ten Business Days following the receipt of such notice to such Senior Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Senior Lender or (without duplication) such Senior Lender’s holding company in full for any such reduction suffered (except to the extent the Borrower is excused from payment pursuant to Section 5.4). In determining such amount, such Senior Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem appropriate.

(c)    To claim any amount under this Section 5.3, the TCF Administrative Agent or a Senior Lender, as applicable, shall promptly deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the TCF Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the TCF Administrative Agent, Senior Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, under Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b), which shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower

31

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

shall pay the TCF Administrative Agent or Senior Lender, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d)    Promptly after the TCF Administrative Agent or Senior Lender, as applicable, has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 5.3, such Person shall notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the TCF Administrative Agent). Failure or delay on the part of the TCF Administrative Agent or Senior Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Person pursuant to this Section 5.3 for any increased costs or reductions attributable to the failure of such Person to notify Borrower within 225 days after the Change in Law giving rise to those increased costs or reductions of such Person’s intention to claim compensation for those circumstances; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to those increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 225-day period referred to above shall be extended to include that period of retroactive effect.

(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no Senior Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.3 in respect of the Change in Law arising from the matters described in the proviso to the definition of “Change in Law” if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Senior Lender, as determined by such Senior Lender, to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (e) shall not impose an obligation on a Senior Lender to provide information regarding compensation claimed and/or paid under any other specific loan agreement; provided, that such Senior Lender shall, upon request from the Borrower, provide a written confirmation to the Borrower regarding whether it is the general policy or practice of such Senior Lender, as the case may be, to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

5.4.    Obligation to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders

(a)    If any Senior Lender requests compensation under Section 5.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Senior Lender or any Government Authority for the account of any Senior Lender pursuant to Section 5.6, then such Senior Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending or issuing office for funding or booking its Construction/Term Loans hereunder to assign its rights and obligations under the TCF Financing Documents to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Senior Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.3 or Section 5.6, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Senior Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Senior Lender or violate any applicable Government Rule. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Senior Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

32

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

(b)    Subject to Section 5.4(d), if any Senior Lender requests compensation under Section 5.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Senior Lender or any Government Authority for the account of any Senior Lender pursuant to Section 5.6 and, in each case, such Senior Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending or issuing office or to make an assignment in accordance with Section 5.4(a), or if any Senior Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice in writing to such Senior Lender and the TCF Administrative Agent, request such Senior Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 14.4), all (but not less than all) its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.3, Section 5.5 or Section 5.6) and obligations under this Agreement (including all of its Construction/Term Loans and Construction/Term Loan Commitments) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Senior Lender, if a Senior Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the TCF Administrative Agent, (ii) such Senior Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Senior Lender from such assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other Obligations), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.6, such assignment will result in the elimination or reduction of such compensation or payments, and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with any applicable law binding upon or to which such Senior Lender is subject. A Senior Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, as a result of a waiver by such Senior Lender of its rights under Section 5.3 or Section 5.6, as applicable, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.

(c)    If any Senior Lender (such Senior Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or termination which, pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1, requires the consent of all of the Senior Lenders or all of the affected Senior Lenders and with respect to which the Majority Senior Lenders or the Majority Affected Lenders (as applicable), shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace all such Non-Consenting Lenders by requiring such Non-Consenting Lenders to assign all their Construction/Term Loans and all their Construction/Term Loan Commitments to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided, that (i) all Non-Consenting Lenders must be replaced with one or more Eligible Assignees that grant the applicable consent, (ii) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lenders being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lenders concurrently with such assignment, and (iii) the replacement Senior Lenders shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lenders a price equal to the amount of such Obligations. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the TCF Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lenders and the replacement Senior Lenders shall otherwise comply with Section 14.4.

33

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

(d)    As a condition of the right of the Borrower to remove any Senior Lender pursuant to Section 5.4(b) and Section 5.4(c), the Borrower may, at the Borrower’s own cost and expense, arrange for the assignment or novation of any Senior Secured IR Hedge Agreements with such Senior Lender or any of its Affiliates within twenty Business Days after such removal; provided, that such Senior Lender (or its Affiliate, as applicable) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly effectuate any such assignment or novation.

5.5.    Funding Losses

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the Quarterly Payment Monthly Transfer Date therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the Quarterly Payment Monthly Transfer Date therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the Quarterly Payment Monthly Transfer Date therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4, or (e) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Senior Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of any Senior Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Senior Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to the TCF Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Senior Lender the amount due and payable and set forth on any such certificate within ten Business Days after receipt thereof.

5.6.    Taxes

(a)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 5.6, the term “Government Rule” includes FATCA.

(b)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any TCF Financing Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Government Rules. If any Government Rule (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 be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with Government Rules and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.6) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by Xxxxxxxx. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with Government Rules, or at the

34

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

option of the TCF Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)    Indemnification by Xxxxxxxx. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.6) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Senior Lender (with a copy to the TCF Administrative Agent), or by the TCF Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Senior Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)    Indemnification by the Senior Lenders. Each Senior Lender shall severally indemnify the TCF Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Senior Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the TCF Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Senior Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.4(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Senior Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the TCF Administrative Agent in connection with any TCF Financing 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 Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Senior Lender by the TCF Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Senior Lender hereby authorizes the TCF Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Senior Lender under any TCF Financing Document or otherwise payable by the TCF Administrative Agent to the Senior Lender from any other source against any amount due to the TCF Administrative Agent under this Section 5.6.

(f)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Government Authority pursuant to this Section 5.6, the Borrower shall deliver to the TCF Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Government Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the TCF Administrative Agent.

(g)    Status of Lenders.

(i)    Any Senior Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any TCF Financing Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the TCF Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the TCF Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the TCF

35

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Senior Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the TCF Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Government Rules or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the TCF Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the TCF Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Senior 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 clauses (A), (B), and (D) of Section 5.6(g)(ii)) shall not be required if in the Senior Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Senior Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Senior Lender.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)    Any Senior Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the TCF Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Senior Lender becomes a Senior Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the TCF Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Senior Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the TCF Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Senior Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the TCF Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6(i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.6(i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax

38

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

(j)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.6 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the TCF Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Senior Lender, the termination of the Construction/Term Loan Commitment, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any TCF Financing Document.

5.7.    Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)    Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other TCF Financing Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the TCF Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the TCF Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Senior Lenders and the Borrower so long as the TCF Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Senior Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 5.7(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. No Senior Secured IR Hedge Agreement shall be deemed to be a “TCF Financing Document” for purposes of this Section 5.7.

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

The TCF Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Senior Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The TCF Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to this Section 5.7, and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the TCF Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Senior Lender (or group of Senior Lenders) pursuant to this Section 5.7, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding

39

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other TCF Financing Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 5.7.

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

(e)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(A)    the policy provides coverage in sufficient amount under the National Flood Insurance Program created by the US Congress pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 and any successor statutes (the “Flood Program”);

(B)    the policy is from a carrier(s) that are licensed, admitted, or not disapproved by a state insurance regulator;

(C)    the policy covers the Borrower and the applicable Credit Agreement Senior Secured Parties; and

(D)    the policy provides sufficient protection of the designated loan, consistent with general safety and soundness principles.

(b)    The Borrower shall provide (or cause to be provided) 45 days prior notice (or, if within 45 days of the Closing Date, on the Closing Date) to the TCF Administrative Agent before it commences construction of any Building (as defined in the applicable flood insurance regulations) and before it affixes any Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable flood insurance regulations) to any property that is secured for the benefit of the Credit Agreement Senior Secured Parties pursuant to a deed of trust required under the TCF Financing Documents and that is located in a special flood hazard area (as defined pursuant to applicable flood insurance regulation). The preceding sentence will not affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.17 to maintain (or cause to be maintained) flood insurance.

(c)    The Borrower will, if requested by a Senior Lender, provide (or cause to be provided) 45 days prior written notice (or, if within 45 days of the Closing Date, on the Closing Date) to the TCF Administrative Agent before it acquires any real property that will be secured for the benefit of the Credit Agreement Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the P1 Deed of Trust.

(d)    The Borrower shall:

78

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

(i)    deliver (or cause to be delivered) on the Closing Date a completed “Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form” of FEMA and any successor Government Authority performing a similar function (a “Flood Certificate”) with respect to the P1 Mortgaged Property, which Flood Certificate shall:

(A)    be addressed to the TCF Administrative Agent;

(B)    provide for “life of loan” monitoring; and

(C)    otherwise comply with the Flood Program; and

(ii)    if the Flood Certificate states that any structure comprising a portion of the anticipated P1 Mortgaged Property will be located in a special flood hazard area (as defined pursuant to applicable flood insurance regulations), the Borrower shall provide (or cause to be provided) written acknowledgment upon receipt of written request from the TCF Administrative Agent and any Senior Lender:

(A)    as to the existence of such P1 Mortgaged Property; and

(B)    as to whether the community in which such P1 Mortgaged Property will be located is participating in the Flood Program;

provided, that, in the case of (i) and (ii), the Borrower may instead provide (or cause to be provided) alternative flood documentation, in a form and manner to be reasonably agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Senior Lender requesting the relevant flood insurance documentation prior to the delivery date set forth above as long as the alternative flood documentation complies with applicable law.

8.18.    Post-Closing Deliverables

The Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the TCF Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to TCF Administrative Agent, the items described on Schedule 8.18 on or before the dates specified with respect to such items, or such later dates as may be agreed to by the TCF Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

13.    THE TCF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

13.1.    Appointment and Authority

(a)    Each of the Senior Lenders hereby appoints, designates and authorizes MUFG Bank, Ltd., as its TCF Administrative Agent under and for purposes of each TCF Financing Document to which the TCF Administrative Agent is a party, and in its capacity as the TCF Administrative Agent, to act on its behalf as Senior Secured Debt Holder Representative for the Senior Lenders. MUFG Bank, Ltd. xxxxxx accepts this appointment and agrees to act as the TCF Administrative Agent for the Senior Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and to act as Senior Secured Debt Holder Representative for the Senior Lenders in accordance with the Common Terms Agreement. Each of the Senior Lenders appoints and authorizes the TCF Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Senior Lender under each TCF Financing Document to which it is a party and in the absence of other written instructions from the Majority Senior Lenders received from time to time by the TCF Administrative Agent (with respect to which the TCF Administrative Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section 13.1 or as otherwise advised by counsel, and subject in all cases to the terms of the Collateral and Intercreditor Agreement), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the TCF Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any TCF Financing Document, the TCF Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the TCF Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Senior Lender or other Credit Agreement Senior Secured Party , and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into any TCF Financing Document or otherwise exist against the TCF Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the TCF Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Government Rule. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)    The provisions of this Section 13.1 are solely for the benefit of the TCF Administrative Agent and the Senior Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions other than the Borrower’s rights under Section 13.7(a) and Section 13.7(b).

13.2.    Rights as a Senior Lender

Each Person serving as the TCF Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other TCF Financing Document shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Senior

113

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or Affiliates of the Borrower as if such Person were not the TCF Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any Senior Lender.

13.3.    Exculpatory Provisions

(a)    The TCF Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other TCF Financing Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the TCF Administrative Agent shall not:

(i)    be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)    have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other TCF Financing Documents that the TCF Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Senior Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Senior Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other TCF Financing Documents); provided, that the TCF Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the TCF Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any TCF Financing Document or applicable Government Rule; or

(iii)    except as expressly set forth herein and in the other TCF Financing Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall the TCF Administrative Agent be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the TCF Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b)    The TCF Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the prior written consent or at the request of the Majority Senior Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Senior Lenders as may be necessary, or as the TCF Administrative Agent may believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 14.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and Non-Appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The TCF Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the TCF Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Senior Lender.

(c)    The TCF Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or

The TCF Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The TCF Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Construction/Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of any Senior Lender, the TCF Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Senior Lender unless the TCF Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Senior Lender prior to the making of such Construction/Term Loan. The TCF Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

13.5.    Delegation of Duties

The TCF Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise any and all its rights and powers hereunder or under any other TCF Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the TCF Administrative Agent. The TCF Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Related Parties of the TCF Administrative Agent, and shall apply to all of their respective activities in connection with their acting as or for the TCF Administrative Agent.

13.6.    Request for Indemnification by the Senior Lenders

The TCF Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in taking, refusing to take or continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Senior Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking, refusing to take or continuing to take any such action.

13.7.    Resignation or Removal of TCF Administrative Agent

(a)    The TCF Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other TCF Financing Documents at any time by giving thirty days’ prior notice to the Borrower, the P1 Collateral Agent, and the Senior Lenders. The TCF Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by the Majority Senior Lenders if the TCF Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender. In the event MUFG Bank, Ltd. is no longer the TCF Administrative Agent, any successor TCF Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with cause by the Majority Senior Lenders. Any such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor TCF Administrative Agent, in accordance with this Section 13.7.

(b)    Upon any notice of resignation by the TCF Administrative Agent or upon the removal of the TCF Administrative Agent by the Majority Senior Lenders or any Senior Lender in accordance with Section 13.7(a), the Majority Senior Lenders shall appoint a successor TCF Administrative Agent, hereunder and under each other TCF Financing Document to which the TCF Administrative Agent is a party, such successor TCF Administrative Agent to be a commercial bank (i) that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 and (ii) that is a FATCA Exempt Party; provided, that if no Default or Event of Default shall then be continuing, appointment of a successor TCF Administrative Agent shall also be acceptable to the Borrower (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor TCF Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.

(c)    If no successor TCF Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Majority Senior Lenders within thirty days after the date such notice of resignation was given by such resigning TCF Administrative Agent, such TCF Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective and the Majority Senior Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such TCF Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other TCF Financing Document until such time, if any, as the Majority Senior Lenders appoint a successor TCF Administrative

116

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Agent. If no successor TCF Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Majority Senior Lenders within thirty days after the date the Majority Senior Lenders elected to remove such Person, any Credit Agreement Senior Secured Party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor TCF Administrative Agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor TCF Administrative Agent, who shall serve as TCF Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other TCF Financing Document to which it is a party until such time, if any, as the Majority Senior Lenders appoint a successor TCF Administrative Agent, as provided above.

13.8.    No Amendment to Duties of TCF Administrative Agent Without Consent

Each of the Senior Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the TCF Administrative Agent, any other Senior Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and make its extensions of credit. Each of the Senior Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the TCF Administrative Agent any other Senior Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other TCF Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

13.12.    Erroneous Payments.

(a)    If the TCF Administrative Agent (i) notifies a Senior Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Senior Lender (any such Senior Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the TCF Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the TCF Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the TCF Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Senior Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (ii) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the TCF Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within five Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the TCF Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 13.12 and held in trust for the benefit of the TCF Administrative Agent, and such Senior Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the TCF Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the TCF Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the TCF

118

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the TCF Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the TCF Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the TCF Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Senior Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Senior Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment, or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution, or otherwise) from the TCF Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the TCF Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the TCF Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Senior Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

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

(ii)    such Senior Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y), and (z)) notify the TCF Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the TCF Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.12(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the TCF Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.12(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 13.12(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)    Each Senior Lender hereby authorizes the TCF Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Senior Lender under any TCF Financing Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the TCF Administrative Agent to such Senior Lender under any TCF Financing Document

119

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the TCF Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d)    In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the TCF Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Senior Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the TCF Administrative Agent’s notice to such Senior Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (i) such Senior Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Construction/Term Loans (but not its Construction/Term Loan Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the TCF Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Construction/Term Loans (but not Construction/Term Loan Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the TCF Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver a Lender Assignment Agreement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Senior Lender shall deliver any Construction/Term Loan Notes evidencing such Construction/Term Loans to the Borrower or the TCF Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Construction/Term Loan Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (ii) the TCF Administrative Agent as the assignee Senior Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the TCF Administrative Agent as the assignee Senior Lender shall become a Senior Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Senior Lender shall cease to be a Senior Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Construction/Term Loan Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Senior Lender, (iv) the TCF Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (v) the TCF Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Construction/Term Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Construction/Term Loan Commitments of any Senior Lender and such Construction/Term Loan Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)    Subject to Section 14.4, the TCF Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Construction/Term Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment

120

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Senior Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Construction/Term Loan (or portion thereof), and the TCF Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies, and claims against such Senior Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Senior Lender (i) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the TCF Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Construction/Term Loans acquired from such Senior Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Construction/Term Loans are then owned by the TCF Administrative Agent) and (ii) may, in the sole discretion of the TCF Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the TCF Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Senior Lender from time to time.

(f)    The parties hereto agree that (i) irrespective of whether the TCF Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the TCF Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Senior Lender to the rights and interests of such Senior Lender as the case may be) under the TCF Financing Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower; provided, that this Section 13.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the TCF Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the TCF Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any TCF Financing Document), the Borrower for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.

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

(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other TCF Financing Document, neither any Loan Party nor any of its respective Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities (including the payment of any assignment or

121

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

processing fee payable to the TCF Administrative Agent in connection therewith) directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 13.12 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in clause (d) above).

(i)    Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 13.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the TCF Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Senior Lender, the termination of the applicable Construction/Term Loan Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any TCF Financing Document.

14.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

128

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

the TCF Administrative Agent, the P1 Collateral Agent, and the other Senior Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Senior Lender in connection with such Senior Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Senior Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 14.8 with respect to any payments made by such Senior Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Senior Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Senior 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 Senior Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 14.1 that directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.3 and Section 5.6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.6(g) (it being understood that any documentation required under Section 5.6 shall be delivered to the participating Senior Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Senior Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 14.4; provided, that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section 14.4; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.3, Section 5.5, or Section 5.6, with respect to any participation, than its participating Senior Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Senior 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 5.4 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.14 as though it were a Senior Lender; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.15 as though it were a Senior Lender. Each Senior Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the applicable Construction/Term Loans or other obligations under the TCF Financing Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Senior Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any TCF Financing Document) to any other Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related United States Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such United States Treasury Regulations). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Senior 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 TCF

129

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Administrative Agent (in its capacity as TCF Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)    Any Senior Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Construction/Term Loan Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Senior Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Senior Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Senior Lender as a Party hereto.

(f)    Any Senior Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Construction/Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (i) Dutch auctions open to all Senior Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit Q hereto or (ii) open market purchases on a pro rata or non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(i)    the assigning Senior Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Senior Lender’s Construction/Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the TCF Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment Agreement”);

(ii)    Affiliated Lenders (other than Total Holdings) will not receive information provided solely to Senior Lenders by the TCF Administrative Agent or any Senior Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Senior Lenders and the TCF Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Construction/Term Loans or Construction/Term Loan Commitments required to be delivered to Senior Lenders pursuant to Article 2;

(iii)    the aggregate principal amount of Construction/Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than Total Holdings) shall not exceed 25% of the principal amount of all Construction/Term Loans at such time outstanding (measured at the time of purchase and excluding any Construction/Term Loans held by Total Holdings) (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided, that, to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Construction/Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio; and

(iv)    as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this Section 14.4(f), the TCF Administrative Agent shall have been provided a notice in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring

130

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

any action in connection with such Construction/Term Loans against the TCF Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.

(g)    The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Lender Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Government Rule, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(h)    All assignments by a Senior Lender of all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to any Tranche with then outstanding Construction/Term Loan Commitments shall be made only as an assignment of the same percentage of outstanding Construction/Term Loan Commitments and Construction/Term Loans and a proportionate part of all the assigning Senior Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Construction/Term Loans and Construction/Term Loan Commitments of any Tranche. If a Tranche has no unused Construction/Term Loan Commitments, assignments of outstanding Construction/Term Loans of such Tranche may be made, together with a pro rata portion of such Senior Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to the Tranche subject to such assignment, in such amounts, to such persons and on such terms as are permitted by and otherwise in accordance with Section 14.4(b). This Section 14.4(h) shall not prohibit any Senior Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder among separate Tranches on a non-pro rata basis among such Tranches.

(i)    No sale, assignment, transfer, negotiation or other disposition of the interests of any Senior Lender hereunder or under the other TCF Financing Documents shall be allowed if it could reasonably be expected to require securities registration under any laws or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction.

(j)    Disqualified Institutions.

(i)    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 Senior Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including through a participation) 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 that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date or any Person that the Borrower removes from the DQ List (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (A) any additional designation or removal permitted by the foregoing shall not

131

apply retroactively to any prior or pending assignment or participation, as applicable, to any Senior Lender or Participant and (B) any designation or removal after the Closing Date of a Person as a Disqualified Institution shall become effective three Business Days after such designation or removal. Any assignment or participation in violation of this Section 14.4(j)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 14.4(j) shall apply. The Borrower shall deliver notices of any designation or removal of a Disqualified Institution to the TCF Administrative Agent via email to Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxxx.xx and XxxxxxXxxx@xx.xx.xxxx.xx.

(ii)    If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of Section 14.4(j)(i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the TCF Administrative Agent, in the case of outstanding Construction/Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Construction/Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Construction/Term Loans or such participation in such Construction/Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder, or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 14.4), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Senior Lenders by the Borrower, the TCF Administrative Agent or any other Senior Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Senior Lenders and the TCF Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Senior Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the TCF Administrative Agent or the Senior Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the TCF Administrative Agent or any Senior Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other TCF Financing Documents, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Senior Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Debtor Relief Plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Debtor Relief Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Debtor Relief

132

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Debtor Relief Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(iv)    The TCF Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the TCF Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Senior Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Senior Lender requesting the same.

provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Credit Agreement Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final and Non-Appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Agreement Indemnitee or breach by such Credit Agreement Indemnitee of any provisions of any TCF Financing Document to which it is a party.

(b)    To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under Section 14.6 or Section 14.8(a) above to be paid by it to any of the TCF Administrative Agent or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Senior Lender severally agrees to pay to the TCF Administrative Agent, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Senior Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, based on the aggregate of such Senior Lender’s Construction/Term Loan Commitments to the aggregate of all Construction/Term Loan Commitments; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the TCF Administrative Agent, in each case in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the TCF Administrative Agent, in each case in its capacity as such.

(d)    All amounts due under this Section 14.8 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

(e)    The Borrower agrees that, without the Credit Agreement Indemnitee’s prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened (in writing) claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought by or on behalf of such Credit Agreement Indemnitee under this Section 14.8 (whether or not any Credit Agreement Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Credit Agreement Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

14.9.    Interest Rate Limitation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any TCF Financing Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the TCF Financing Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Government Rule (the “Maximum Rate”). If the TCF Administrative Agent or any Senior Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of such Senior Lender’s Construction/Term Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the TCF Administrative Agent or any Senior Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Government Rule, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium, rather than interest, (b) exclude prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

14.10.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies

No failure by any Credit Agreement Senior Secured Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other TCF Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(h)    the Borrower further agrees that the TCF Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Senior Lenders by posting the Communications on an internet website that may, from time to time, be notified to the Senior Lenders or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The costs and expenses incurred by the TCF Administrative Agent in creating and maintaining the Platform shall be paid by Borrower in accordance with Section 14.6.

(i)    THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE TCF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS 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 THE TCF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.

140

|US-DOCS\145399031.8||

14.13.    Payments Set Aside

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the TCF Administrative Agent, the P1 Collateral Agent, any Senior Lender, or the TCF Administrative Agent, the P1 Collateral Agent, or any Senior Lender (as the case may be) exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the TCF Administrative Agent, the P1 Collateral Agent or such Senior Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Senior Lender severally agrees to pay to the TCF Administrative Agent or the P1 Collateral Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the TCF Administrative Agent or the P1 Collateral Agent, as the case may be, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.
