Interest shall accrue from and including the Disbursement Date to but excluding the date the Loan is repaid in full. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and each Note shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to the Lender limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender and, in such event, the rates of interest shall be reduced to the maximum permitted by the applicable law.

Page 8

7.3 Any amount of principal, interest or any other amount due hereunder or under any Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the due date thereof until the date the Lender receives payment of such amount in full at an interest rate equal to 2.0% (two percent) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate that would otherwise be applicable to the relevant Loan, payable on demand, but, only to the extent permitted by applicable law (if not permitted by applicable law, such amount shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law). The daily accrued amount of such interest shall be compounded and be deemed to be an additional principal amount of the relevant Loan.

7.4 Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Document delivered hereunder is stated to be due on a day other than a SOFR Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the SOFR Banking Day immediately following such day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding SOFR Banking Day (if there is not).

SECTION 8. TAXES; INCREASED COSTS.

8.1 Any and all payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under each Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect to such payments excluding (a) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Lender and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Document), (b) Taxes assessed under the laws of The Netherlands, if and to the extent (i) such Taxes become payable as a result of the Lender having a substantial interest (aanmerkelijk belang) as defined in the Dutch Income Tax Act (Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001) in the Borrower or (ii) such Taxes are imposed pursuant to the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet bronbelasting 2021), in effect as of the date hereof, or (c) taxes that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the Lender to comply with Section 8.5 hereof (the “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under each Note, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

8.2 In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to the Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

Should any doubt arise as to the correctness or legality of such Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall, after duly indemnifying the Lender, be entitled to contest such correctness or legality of such Taxes or Other Taxes before the relevant taxation authority. Payment by the Borrower under this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) SOFR Banking Day from the date the Lender makes written demand therefor.

8.4 Within 20 (twenty) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

8.5 If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Document, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the applicable withholding agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or such applicable withholding agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such applicable withholding agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or such applicable withholding agent, shall deliver such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such applicable withholding agent as will enable the Borrower or the applicable withholding agent to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to any withholding tax (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender.

Page 9

8.6 Except with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes (which are indemnifiable under Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3), if any imposition, modification or applicability of any reserve, special deposit, capital requirement, capital adequacy or other similar requirements, or change in the basis of taxation is made or imposed and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of funding, making or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any amount to be received by the Lender with respect to any Loan, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender additional amounts in order to fully compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the basis for the determination of such additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender as provided herein shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown due on such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

8.7 Without prejudice to the survival of any agreement of the Borrower, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of all principal, interest and other amounts hereunder or under each Note.

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency (and such conversion rate or methodology is not otherwise specified herein for such circumstances), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Lender could purchase Dollars with such other currency on the SOFR Banking Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the SOFR Banking Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, the Lender may, in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures, purchase Dollars with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in Dollars, the Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation of the Borrower, to indemnify the Lender against such loss. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Lender in Dollars, the Lender agrees to repay such excess to the Borrower.

SECTION 15. RIGHT TO SET-OFF

15.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender and any of its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time therefore owing by the Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, each Note and the Documents, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have.

15.2 The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender and any of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment is not made when due hereunder, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with the Lender or any of its Affiliates any amount so due even if such charge causes any such accounts to be overdrawn. The Lender is hereby authorized to deliver a copy of this Agreement to any of its Affiliates for the purposes described in this Section 15.

15.3 For the purpose of determining, if necessary, the currency equivalent of the amount of any deposit or indebtedness that shall be set-off and applied against any and all obligations of the Borrower hereunder or that may be charged against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with the Lender or any of its Affiliates the method of determination shall be that which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, will be necessary to purchase with such other currency, in the City of New York, the amount of Dollars that the Borrower has so failed to pay when due. For such purposes, the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact to buy foreign currency by means of a foreign exchange transaction.

SECTION 16. WAIVERS BY XXXXXXXX.

The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Proceeding in any New York State or U.S. Federal court sitting in The City of New York and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Proceeding in any such court. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any immunity in respect of its obligations under the Documents, including for purposes of the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. The Borrower hereby waives any rights it may have to require the Lender to proceed against either the Borrower, or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any deposit or any other security held by the Lender, or to pursue any other remedy available to the Lender.

SECTION 17. ASSIGNMENTS.

17.1 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto, provided that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign, transfer or participate its rights and/or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may assign or transfer all or any part of its rights, benefits and obligations or any interest herein and in respect of each Note hereunder, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except that no such consent shall be required to the extent that such assignment or transfer is to an Affiliate of the Lender or is made during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any assignment, transfer of, or participation in, all or any part of the rights, benefits and obligations or any interest herein and in respect of each Note hereunder of the Lender or any

Page 14

of its successors, shall only be permitted to or by a Non-Public Lender. Promptly upon the consummation of any assignment or transfer of all or any part of any Loan, the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor, if applicable, and the transferee, in each case in principal amount reflecting the principal amount of the Loans so transferred; provided that any original Notes which have been replaced have been returned to the Borrower marked “cancelled”. Any expenses payable in connection with any issue of substitute Notes shall be borne by the Lender other than those arising pursuant to a transfer made during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, which shall be borne by the Borrower.

17.2 The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to disclose information relating to the Borrower, its Affiliates and/or the transactions contemplated hereby to any actual or potential participants, transferees and/or assignees, if the Lender deems such disclosure necessary, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential.

SECTION 18. COSTS AND EXPENSES.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Lender, within 10 (ten) days of written request by the Lender (a) all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable counsel fees and expenses) in connection with (i) the preparation of the Documents, and (ii) the enforcement of the Documents or any other documents related hereto or arising herefrom, or preservation of any rights of the Lender thereunder; and (b) all reasonable losses or expenses (including, without limitation, any loss suffered as a result of re-employing deposits acquired by the Lender for the purpose of funding any Loan at a rate of return lower than the cost of acquiring the deposits or any expense incurred by the Lender in liquidating the deposits) incurred as a consequence of the Borrower’s (i) revocation of the Loan Request after it has been delivered to the Lender; (ii) failure to borrow a Loan after delivery of the Loan Request therefor, (iii) failure to pay any amount payable hereunder or under any Note as and when due, or (iv) making any payment of principal of any Loan other than on the Principal Payment Date for such Loan.

SECTION 19. AMENDMENTS.

SECTION 20. NOTICES.

All notices and other communications under the Documents shall be in writing and addressed or sent as set forth in the Summary of Terms or to such other address, telex, or fax numbers as any party hereto may from time to time designate. All such notices shall be effective, if hand-delivered upon delivery, or if mailed, when received or if faxed or telexed, when transmitted.

SECTION 21. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) Severability. Any provision herein that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or non-enforcement without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforcement of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Borrower made herein or in any other Document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amounts due to the Lender hereunder or under any Note remain unpaid notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Lender, and the Lender shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Event of Default which may arise by reason of any representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading on the date made or reaffirmed, as the case may be, notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Loan was made. In addition, the obligations of the Borrower under Section 8 (Taxes; Increased Costs), Section 9 (Representations and Warranties), Section 13 (Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process), Section 18 (Costs and Expenses) and Section 21(c) (Indemnification) shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the cancellation of the Notes and the termination of the other obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

(c) Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to hold the Lender and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, servants, correspondents and their respective successors and assigns indemnified against and harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, losses or damages, including reasonable counsel fees, in any way arising from or in connection with or related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other Document or instrument related hereto, except to the extent such claims, liabilities, costs, losses or damages are determined by the final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to specifically have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender against any claims, liabilities, costs, losses or damages which arise from any variation in rates of exchange between the currency in which such amount was due and the currency in which any judgment is obtained or enforced between the date of the said amount becoming due (or the date of the said judgment being obtained as the case may be) and the date of actual payment thereof. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against the Lender, any of its Affiliates, or any of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loan. This Section 21.1(c) shall not apply to Taxes or Other Taxes, which shall be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.3, other than any Taxes or Other Taxes that represent claims, liabilities, costs, losses or damages arising from any non-tax claim.

Page 15

(e) Section Headings. The section headings and captions appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

(f) Illegality. If the Lender determines at any time that any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty or change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof makes or will make it unlawful for the Lender to fulfill its commitment to make or maintain any Loan hereunder, to maintain the Agreement or to claim or receive any amount payable hereunder, the Lender shall give notice of such determination to the Borrower whereupon the obligations of the Lender hereunder shall terminate and the Borrower, immediately upon receipt of such notice, shall prepay in full the then Revolving Credit Exposure together with accrued interest thereon. Prepayment pursuant to this Section shall be made without premium but together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment.

(g) Cumulative Rights; No Waiver. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
