2. TERM LOAN FACILITY
2.1. Commitment to Lend;
Rate Setting Procedure.
2.1.1. Term
Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower on a single occasion on the Closing Date a loan (the “Term Loan”) denominated in Dollars and having an
initial principal balance in an amount not to exceed its Commitment Percentage of lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time and (B) the Borrowing Base at such time.
2.1.2. Setting
of Hypothetical Fixed Rate. On the Closing Date, each Lender shall be deemed to have entered into an interest rate swap transaction (each a “Hypothetical
Interest Rate Hedge Transaction”), which Hypothetical Interest Rate Hedge Transaction shall have the economic terms necessary to convert the Fixed Interest Rate scheduled to be paid under the Loan made on such date plus the swap margin
(for such Loan, the “Hypothetical Fixed Rate”) during the period from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the Maturity Date, into a one month
LIBOR‑based interest rate equal to the sum of (i) the rate per annum equal to LIBOR as of the beginning of the relevant period (or, if unavailable, a successor rate or alternative benchmark rate as determined by the Lender), plus (ii) one and four
tenths percent (1.40%) per annum. The inclusion of the swap margin in the Hypothetical Fixed Rate will increase the value of the Hypothetical Interest Rate Transaction to the Lender. If the Borrower were to prepay the fixed rate Loan, the value of
the swap margin will either (a) increase the related Interest Rate Hedge Breakage Loss which will be payable by the Borrower or (b) reduce the value of the Interest Rate Hedge Breakage Gain which the Borrower may be entitled to set off against other
payments owned by the Borrower. The Lender swap margin will be [●] basis points. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender is under any obligation to hedge its interest rate risk in respect of any fixed rate Loan.
2.2. Evidence of Debt.
The Term Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and
each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Term Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent
in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such
Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (each a “Term Note”), which shall evidence such Lender’s Term Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, amount,
interest rate and maturity of such Lender’s Term Loans and payments with respect thereto.
- 29 -
2.3. Interest.
Except as otherwise provided in §5.10, each Term Loan shall bear interest commencing with the Closing Date at the rate per annum equal to the Fixed Interest Rate. Such interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of
twelve 30‑day months. The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Term Loan made to it in arrears on each Principal Payment Date with respect thereto.
2.4. Requests for Term
Loans. The Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in a writing in the form of Exhibit C hereto or such other form as may be approved by the
Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) of the Term Loan
requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Closing Date. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Lenders
thereof. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Term Loan requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date.
2.5. Funds for Term Loans.
2.5.1. Funding
Procedures. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Term Loans, each of the Lenders will make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in
immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Term Loans. Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §§11 and 12 and the satisfaction of
the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Term Loans made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders.
2.5.2. Advances by
Administrative Agent.
(a) The Administrative Agent may, unless
notified to the contrary by any Lender prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that such Lender has made available to the Administrative Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Term Loans to be made on such
Drawdown Date, and the Administrative Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and
a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the Fixed Interest Rate. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Term Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s share of such Term Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall
have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
- 30 -
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
relevant Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(c) A notice of the Administrative Agent
to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under §§2.5.2(a) and (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
2.5.3. Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments pursuant to §2.5.2(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Term Loan, to fund any such participation or
to make any payment under §2.8.2(b) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Term
Loans, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under §2.5.2(b).
2.5.4. Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Term Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this §2, and such funds are not made
available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable credit extension set forth in §§11 or 12 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds
(in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
2.5.5. Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the
funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
- 31 -
2.5.6. Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Term Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Term Loans or accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative
Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(a) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(b) the provisions of this Section shall
not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Delinquent Lender), or (y)
any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of
this Section shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agree, to the extent each such party may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
2.6. Change in Borrowing
Base. The Borrowing Base shall be calculated (based on the application of the formula contained in the definition of “Borrowing Base”) by the Borrower pursuant to a Borrowing Base Report delivered to the Administrative Agent on the
Closing Date and at such other intervals as may be specified pursuant to §8.4(f) by reference to the Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall give to the Borrower
written notice of the amount of the Borrowing Base determined by the Administrative Agent as a result of its calculation thereof to the extent that the Administrative Agent’s calculation thereof differs from that of the Borrower. Prior to the time
any such notice becomes effective, the Borrowing Base shall be computed as it would have been computed in the absence of such notice.
- 32 -
2.7. Term Loan Facility.
The facility evidenced by this Credit Agreement is a term loan facility. Accordingly, the Borrower will not have the right to reborrow any amounts repaid or prepaid to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.
2.8. Funding Source.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner.
2.9. Delinquent Lenders.
2.9.1. Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Delinquent Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Delinquent Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(a) Waivers and Amendments. That Delinquent Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in
§16.12.
(b) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts (including, without limitation, any Breakage Loss) received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of that Delinquent Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to §13 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Delinquent Lender pursuant to §16.1), shall be applied at such
time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Delinquent Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in
respect of which that Delinquent Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third,
if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non‑interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Delinquent Lender to fund Term Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that
Delinquent Lender as a result of that Delinquent Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; 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 judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Delinquent Lender as a result of that Delinquent Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Delinquent Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which that Delinquent Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Term Loans
were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §12 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loans of all non‑Delinquent Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loans of
that Delinquent Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts (including, without limitation, any Breakage Loss) paid or payable to a Delinquent Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Delinquent Lender pursuant to this
§2.11.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Delinquent Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
- 33 -
(c) Certain Fees. That Delinquent Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Delinquent Lender (and the Borrower shall not
be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Delinquent Lender).
2.9.2. Delinquent
Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Delinquent Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Delinquent Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the Closing Date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Term Loans of the other Lenders or take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Term Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Delinquent Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a
Delinquent Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Delinquent Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Delinquent Lender.]
3. REPAYMENT OF THE TERM LOANS
3.1. Principal Payment
Amounts.
3.1.1. The Borrower shall
repay the principal balance of the Term Loans in twenty (20) quarterly installments (each, a “Scheduled Principal Payment”), consisting of (i) twenty (20) quarterly installments, commencing on December 20, 2018 and on each subsequent Principal
Payment Date each in an amount equal to One Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) and (ii) one installment (the “Balloon Payment”) payable on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to Seventy Million Dollars ($70,000,000.00). The
amount of each Scheduled Principal Payment and the Balloon Payment shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with §3.2.2 of this Credit Agreement. Each such payment shall be applied to the Term Loans of each Lender in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentage.
3.1.2. The aggregate
unpaid Principal Balance of all Term Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts (including, without limitation, any Breakage Loss) owed by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be payable in full on
the earlier to occur of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which the Loans and other Obligations have been declared payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 hereto.
- 34 -
3.2. Mandatory Repayments
of Term Loans.
3.2.1. The Borrower shall
pay on such Principal Payment Date, pay to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders for application to the respective Term Loans an amount equal to the Required Prepayment Amount; provided, however, that the Borrower shall
be permitted, to satisfy any such payment on the Principal Payment Date by providing additional Eligible Containers in accordance with Section 6.3 of this Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment of any portion of the principal
balances of the Term Loans pursuant to this §3.2.1 may be reborrowed by the Borrower.
3.2.2. In connection with
any prepayment of principal of a Term Loan pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Borrower shall also pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, (A) interest accrued to the date of prepayment with respect to the principal amount being
prepaid, (B) any Breakage Loss and (C) any other costs incurred by the Lenders in connection therewith in accordance with §5.12. If there is an Interest Rate Hedge Breakage Gain, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders shall make the payment
required by Section 5.12.2, and the Lenders shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for the amount so‑paid to Borrower. Each such prepayment shall be applied to reduce all remaining Scheduled Principal Payments and the Balloon Payment by a fraction
(stated as a percentage) the numerator of which is equal to the amount of such prepayment and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance (calculated after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal Payment paid on date but prior
to any reduction for such prepayment).
3.3. Optional Repayments
of Term Loans.
3.3.1. The Borrower shall
have the right, at its election, to repay the outstanding amount of the Term Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided that any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Term Loan pursuant to
this §3.3 may be made only on a Principal Payment Date. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a no later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.3
specifying the proposed date of prepayment of relevant Term Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the applicable Term Loans shall be in a principal amount of at least $___________, and shall be accompanied by
the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of prepayment. Each partial prepayment shall be allocated among the applicable Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount of each
Lender’s applicable Term Loans, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not exactly in proportion. For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment of any portion of the Principal Balances of the Term Loans pursuant to
this §3.3 may be reborrowed by the Borrower.
3.3.2. In connection with
any prepayment of principal of a Term Loan pursuant to this Section 3.3.2, the Borrower shall also pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, (A) interest accrued to the date of prepayment with respect to the principal amount being
prepaid, (B) any Breakage Loss and (C) any other costs incurred by the Lenders in connection therewith in accordance with §5.12.2. If there is an Interest Rate Hedge Breakage Gain, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders shall make the
payment required by Section 5.12.2, and the Lenders shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for the amount so-paid to Borrower. Each such prepayment shall be applied to reduce all remaining Scheduled Principal Payments and the Balloon Payment by a
fraction (stated as a percentage) the numerator of which is equal to the amount of such prepayment and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance (calculated after giving effect to the Scheduled Principal Payment paid on date
but prior to any reduction for such prepayment).

amounts payable under this §5.2.2) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and an explanation of the calculation of such amount delivered to the
Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required
pursuant to §5.2.2(c)(ii) below.
- 37 -
(ii) Each Lender shall, and does
hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has
not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such
Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §15.1.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each
case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).
(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a
Governmental Authority as provided in this §5.2.2, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
- 38 -
(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent,
such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of
such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in §5.2.2(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent),
executed originals of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or W‑8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
- 39 -
(II) executed originals of IRS Form
W‑8ECI;
(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G‑1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E ( or W‑8BEN, as applicable); or
(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not
the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI, IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or W‑8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G‑2 or Exhibit G‑3, IRS Form W‑9, and/or
other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such
Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G‑4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
- 40 -
(C) if a payment made to a Lender under
any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to
comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form
or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this §5.2.2 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its
legal inability to do so.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a
Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund
of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this §5.2.2, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this §5.2.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the
applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection to the extent such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after‑Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the
indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it
deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
- 41 -
(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this §5.2.2 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of,
a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
5.3. Computations.
All computations of interest for Fixed Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve (12) months consisting of thirty (30) days. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360‑day
year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365‑day year).
5.4. [RESERVED].
5.5. [RESERVED].
5.6. Additional Costs,
Etc. If any Change in Law shall:
(a) impose, modify or deem applicable
any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by
§5.10);
(b) subject any Recipient to any Taxes
(other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) 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 Lender or the
Administrative Agent any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Term Loans
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
5.7. Capital Adequacy.
If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered but only in an amount equal to such reduction and to the extent that such reduction is not otherwise reflected in the Fixed Rate. Each
Lender shall allocate such cost increase among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis.
- 42 -
5.8. Certificate.
A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in §5.6 or §5.7 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Failure or reasonable delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Article 5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six‑month period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
5.9. [RESERVED].
5.10. Indemnity.
Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion,
payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than a Principal Payment Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a
reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate
the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
5.11. Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending
Office. If any Lender requests compensation under §§5.6 or 5.7, requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §5.2.2, if any Lender
gives a notice pursuant to §5.5, or if any Lender requests payment of compensation pursuant to §5.10, then at the request of the Borrowers such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to §§5.2.2, 5.6, 5.7 or 5.10, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to §5.5, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
- 43 -
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under §§5.6 or 5.7, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §5.2.2 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with §5.10(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in
accordance with §14.7.
5.12. Interest After
Default.
5.12.1. Overdue
Amounts. Overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Term Loans and all other overdue amounts (including, without limitation, any overdue Breakage Loss) payable hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest from the due date compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the Fixed Interest Rate until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before
judgment). An amount shall be considered overdue hereunder if not paid on the date fixed for payment herein or any accelerated maturity thereof, regardless of any grace periods which may be permitted under §§13.1(a) or (b) hereof.
5.12.2. Amounts
Not Overdue. During the continuance of an Event of Default the principal of the Term Loans shall, until such Event of Default has been
cured or remedied or such Event of Default has been waived by the Required Lenders pursuant to §16.13, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) two percent (2%) above the rate of interest otherwise applicable to the Term Loans,
as the case may be, pursuant to §2.5 or (b) the rate of interest applicable to overdue principal pursuant to §5.12.1.
5.13. Breakage Loss and
Interest Rate Hedge Breakage Gains.

to such Lender in connection with:
(i) any mandatory or optional
prepayment of a Loan made by the Borrower for any reason, any obligation of the Borrower to repay a Loan upon acceleration of such Loan, or any payment made on a date other than a Payment Date; or
- 44 -
(ii) any failure by the Borrower for
any reason to borrow a Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant borrowing notice; or
(iii) any failure by the Borrower for
any reason to borrow a Loan from such Lender following the formal forward fixing of the interest rate for such Loan.
5.13.2. A Lender will pay
any Interest Rate Hedge Break Gain to the Borrower in connection with any event described in Section 5.12.1 (i) through (iii) on the date of the corresponding principal payment by the Borrower to such Lender by setting off any Interest Rate Hedge
Break Gain applicable to such Lender and due to Borrower against any payment of principal, interest or other amount due to such Lender from the Borrower with each party’s obligations to make payments in the amount of such offset being automatically
satisfied and discharged.
5.14. Survival.

subject to the MSC Lease on the date of such addition and the representations set forth in §§7.33 and 7.34 are true and correct on the date of which additional Containers are provided solely with respect to the Containers added on such date and the
MSC Lease solely as it applies to such additional Containers;

Lenders shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower declare all amounts (including, without limitation, any Breakage Loss) owing with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Term Notes and the other Loan Documents to be, and all such amounts shall
thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided
that in the event of any Event of Default specified in § § 13.1(g) or 13.1(h), all such amounts (including, without limitation, any Breakage Loss) shall become immediately due and payable, automatically and without presentment, demand, protest or
other any requirement of notice of any kind from the Administrative Agent or any Lender, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.
13.2. Termination of

obligations to make Term Loans to the Borrower. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may and, upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, terminate the unused
portion of the credit hereunder, and upon such notice being given such unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate immediately and each of the Lenders shall be relieved of all further obligations to make Term Loans. No termination of the
credit hereunder shall relieve the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any of the Obligations.

(a) declare the unpaid principal amount

presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and
(b) subject to the terms and
conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise on behalf of itself or the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it, and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;
provided, however,
that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate and the unpaid
principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans and all interest and other amounts (including, without limitation, any Breakage Loss) as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender.
- 75 -
13.4. Distribution of
Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed
for application as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of, or (as
the case may be) the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in connection with the collection
of such monies by the Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the

to be paid in the following order: first, to the payment of interest and fees, second, to the payment of principal of the Term Loans, third, to the payment of any Breakage Loss to each Lender, and fourth, to other such Obligations in such order or
preference as the Required Lenders may determine; provided, however, that (i) distributions
shall be made (A) pari passu among Obligations with respect to the fees owing to the Administrative Agent and all such Obligations, and (B) with respect to
each type of Obligation owing to the Lenders, such as interest, principal, fees and expenses among the Lenders pro rata, and (ii) the Administrative Agent may in its discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due
and payable;
(c) Third, upon payment and
satisfaction in full or other provisions for payment in full satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid pursuant to §9‑608(a)(1)(C) or 9‑615(a)(3) of the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York; and
(d) Fourth, the excess, if any, shall
be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
14. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
14.1. Authorization.
(a) Each of the Lenders hereby
irrevocably appoints Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all
such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Administrative Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, including the authority, without the necessity of
any notice to or further consent of the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect, maintain perfected or insure the priority of the security interest in
and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents including, without limitation, executing a joinder to the Intercreditor Agreement and exercising the rights of a “Non‑Revolving Lender” under the Intercreditor Agreement,
provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this § 14 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have rights as a third‑party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
- 76 -
(b) The relationship between the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term “Administrative Agent” is for convenience only and is used to
describe, as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders. Nothing contained in this Credit Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency,
trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders.
(c) As an independent contractor
empowered by the Lenders to exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is nevertheless a “representative” of the Lenders, as that term is defined in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent with respect to all collateral
security and guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include the designation of the Administrative Agent as “secured party”, “mortgagee” or the like on all financing statements, certificates of title and other documents and instruments, whether recorded or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, priority or
enforcement of any security interests, mortgages or deeds of trust in collateral security intended to secure the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
14.2. Employees and
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or sub‑agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to its rights and duties under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The 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. The Administrative Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the
Borrower. The exculpatory provisions of this §14 shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
- 77 -
14.3. No Liability.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other
Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Administrative Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due
to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement or other document or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all the Lenders. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the 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 Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. The 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 any Term Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The
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.
14.4. No Representations.
14.4.1. General.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, the Term Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute,
collateral security for the Term Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Term Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties
or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance
or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Term Notes or to inspect any of the properties, books or records of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or any holder of any of the Term Notes shall have been duly authorized
or is true, accurate and complete. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein
or in any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders,
with respect to the credit worthiness or financial conditions of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
- 78 -
14.4.2. Non‑Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other 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 Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the satisfaction of any condition set forth in §§11 and 12 or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
14.5. Payments.
14.5.1. Payments
to Administrative Agent. A payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The
Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata
share of payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.
14.5.2. Distribution
by Administrative Agent. If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Term Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in
liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed
by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in
such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
- 79 -
14.5.3. [Reserved].
14.5.4. Replacement
of Lender. If any Lender (a) requests compensation under §§5.6 or 5.7, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
§5.6, or (b) is a Delinquent Lender, then CAI may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in, and consents required by, §15), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if
a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) the Borrower shall have paid to
the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in §15.1.2;
(b) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including, without limitation, any Breakage Loss) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under §5.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts (including, without limitation, any Breakage Loss));
(c) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under §§5.6 or 5.7 or payments required to be made pursuant to §5.6, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict
with applicable laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
14.6. Holders of Term
Notes. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Term Notes as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by
such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee
14.7. Indemnity.
To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required hereunder (including under § § 16.2 and 16.3 hereof) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub‑agent thereof) or any Related Party of
any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, 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 Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent), in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub‑agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this § 14.7 are subject to the provisions of §2.8.3.
- 80 -
14.8. Administrative
Agent as Lender, etc. In its individual capacity, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Term Loans made by it, and as the
holder of any of the Term Notes, as it would have were it not also the Administrative Agent. 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 any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Neither the Syndication Agent nor
the Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under the Credit Agreement in such capacity, other than those applicable to all Lenders as Lenders. The Arranger shall not have any right, power,
obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under the Credit Agreement in such capacity
14.9. Resignation.
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and, so long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the reasonable acceptance of the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office
in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the reasonable acceptance of the Borrower); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent,
and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower
to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this § 14 and § § 16.2 and 16.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
- 81 -
14.10. Notification of
Defaults and Events of Default. Each Lender hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. The Administrative Agent
hereby agrees that upon receipt of any notice under this § 14.10 it shall promptly notify the other Lenders of the existence of such Default or Event of Default.
14.11. Duties in the Case
of Enforcement. In case one of more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall, if (a) so requested by
the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of
the Security Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and exercise all or any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have in respect of such Collateral. The Required
Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such sale or other disposition, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in
respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to
the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.
14.12. Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
the Borrower or the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the
whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(a) to release, or authorize the
release of, any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Total Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations),
(ii) that is sold, to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition or other transaction permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) if such release is permitted under Section 6.3 or (iv) subject

(b) and to subordinate, or authorize
the subordination of, any Lien on any property included in the Collateral granted to, or held by the Administrative Agent under, any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by §9.2.1(viii), (x) or (xii).
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority

(and holders of Liens in respect thereof) permitted hereunder for the purposes of, among other things, administering the Liens held for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, such collateral agency arrangements and related
documentation to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon the reasonable request of CAI, the Administrative shall cooperate in good faith with CAI in its efforts to coordinate the intercreditor and collateral agency

of this §14.12 and any and all agreements, documents and instruments relating thereto.

addition, unless sub‑clause (a) in the immediately preceding §14.13.1 is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub‑clause (d) in the immediately preceding §14.13.1,
such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for
the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that:

- 85 -
14.15.3. The
Administrative Agent and the Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this
Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may
receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees,

appropriate taxing authority. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of
any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do
so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket
expenses.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION
15.1. Conditions to
Assignment.
15.1.1.
Successors and Assignment Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with
the provisions of §15.1.2 (ii) with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (iii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of §15.1.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of §15.1.5 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void) (except for assignment to a
Disqualified Institution, but the provisions of §15.1.2(h) shall apply). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in §15.1.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.
- 86 -
15.1.2. Assignments by
Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided that
(a) except in the case of an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Term Loans, as the case may be, at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect
to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Term Loans, outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated
as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(b) each partial assignment of
Commitments and Term Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Term Loans or the Commitment assigned;
(c) any assignment of a Commitment
must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee);
(d) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500.00 (provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment), and the Eligible
Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;
- 87 -
(e) so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, no such assignment shall be made to a Person who is not an Eligible Assignee without the consent of CAI (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided
that the withholding of consent to an assignment (i) to a Disqualified Institution or (ii) which results in additional costs pursuant to §§5.6, 5.7 and 5.10 shall be deemed reasonable);
(f) no such assignment shall be made
(A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Delinquent Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this
clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person; and
(g) in connection with any assignment
of rights and obligations of any Delinquent Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to
the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding,
with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Delinquent Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent),
to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities under this Agreement then owed by such Delinquent Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Lender hereunder or the Borrower (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as
appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Delinquent Lender hereunder shall become effective
under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Delinquent Lender for all purposes of this Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(h) Disqualified Institutions. No assignment shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade
Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment as
otherwise contemplated by this §15.1.2, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified
Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), such assignee shall not
retroactively be considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (h)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (h) shall apply.
- 88 -
(i) If any assignment is made to any
Disqualified Institution without CAI’s prior consent in violation of clause (i) above, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any
Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, prepay such
Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts)
payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this §15.1.2), all of its
interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations 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 and other the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Borrower
shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in §15.1.2(d), (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws and (iii) in the case of clause (B), the Borrower shall not use the proceeds from any Loans
to prepay Loans held by Disqualified Institutions.
(ii) 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 Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or
participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the
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 Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any
action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of
voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (a “Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto
hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan of Reorganization 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 Plan of Reorganization 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).
- 89 -
(iii) The Administrative Agent shall
have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorize the 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” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to §15.1.3, from and after the Closing Date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of §§5.6, 5.7, 5.9, 16.2 and 16.3 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the Closing Date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Term Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with §15.1.4. The Administrative Agent shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower with prompt notice of any assignment hereunder.
15.1.3. Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a
request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.
- 90 -
15.1.4. Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any
competitor of the Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitment and/or the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to §16.12(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to §15.1.5, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of §§5.6, 5.7 and 5.9, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to §15.1.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of §16.1 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to §16.1 as though it were a Lender.
15.1.5. Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Term Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, European Central Bank or any other applicable central bank for such Lender; provided that
no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
15.1.6. Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, 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 law, 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; provided that notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.
- 91 -
16. PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATIONS
16.1. Setoff.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party
may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Delinquent Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for
further application in accordance with the provisions of §2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Delinquent Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and
the Lenders, and (y) the Delinquent Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Delinquent Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of
each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender
and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the above, all proceeds of the Collateral shall be administered pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.
16.2. Expenses.
The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or
thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this §16.2, or (B) in
connection with the Term Loans, including all such reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans. All amounts due under this §16.2 shall be payable not later than ten
Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this §16.2 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
the other Obligations.
- 92 -
16.3. Indemnification.
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub‑agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub‑agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Term Loan or the use or proposed use of the
proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Subsidiary
has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the provisions of §5.2.2(c), this §16.3.1 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes
that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non‑Tax claim
To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under §16.2 or §16.3.1(a) to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent (or any sub‑agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the Administrative Agent, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent), the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such
Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments
at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided, further 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
Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent), the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent), the L/C Issuer or the
Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (b) are subject to the provisions of §2.8.3.
- 93 -
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
All amounts due under this § 16.3 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this §
16.3 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
16.3.1. Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender 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 Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied 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 Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, 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 Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
16.4. Treatment of
Certain Confidential Information.
16.4.1. Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential in accordance with the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self‑regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners); provided that the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Borrower of any such request, (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the Administrative Agent shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Borrower upon becoming aware of such requirement, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in,
or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of
their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and not as a result of any violation of any confidentiality obligation to the Borrower.
- 94 -
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
16.4.2. Non‑Public
Information. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non‑public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed

16.4.3 Customary
Advertising Material. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that CAI is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and that information regarding CAI and the other Loan Parties may be material
non‑public information. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that, following the Sixth Amendment Closing Date, they may use the name, product photographs, logo or trademark of the Loan Parties in customary advertising
material relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, only with the advance consent of CAI. Any such consent shall be in writing (which may be in the form of email correspondence). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, Arranger, Co‑Agents, and the Lenders in
connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments; provided, that without the written consent of CAI, such
disclosure will be limited to information that has been made publicly‑available by CAI in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, unless such service providers have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Covenants, Etc. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Term Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of CAI or any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of
the Term Loans, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Credit Agreement or the Term Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding, and for such further time as may be otherwise expressly
specified in this Credit Agreement. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Lender or the Administrative Agent at any time by or on behalf of CAI or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with

Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to §§2, 3 and 4 if such Lender has notified the
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.
- 96 -
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e‑mail address shall be deemed

(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.
16.6.3. The
Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON‑INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of the Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential
or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).
16.6.4. Changes
of Address. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its
address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the

- 97 -
16.6.5. Reliance

such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or
on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
16.7 No Waiver;
Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Loan 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. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent
(at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders as so required by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) in accordance with §13.3 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in
its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with §16.1 (subject to the terms of §2.5.6), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing
and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise
ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to §13.3 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to §2.8.6, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any
rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

respect to the Term Loans and other Obligations shall require only the approval of the Required Lenders); and
(iv) other than pursuant to a
transaction permitted by the terms of this Credit Agreement, release in one transaction or a series of related transactions all or substantially all of the Collateral (excluding if the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower becomes a debtor
under the federal Bankruptcy Code, the release of “cash collateral”, as defined in Section 363(a) of the federal Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor approved by the Required Lenders) or release CAI or any other
Guarantors from their guaranty obligations under the Guaranty;
(b) without the written consent of all

shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

each Lender directly affected thereby, waive any condition set forth in § 11 or § 12.

waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Delinquent Lenders), except that
(x) the Commitment of any Delinquent Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any
Delinquent Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Delinquent Lender.

The provisions of this Credit Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause
or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Credit Agreement in any jurisdiction.
16.15. USA PATRIOT Act;
Beneficial Ownership Regulations. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107‑56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to
identify the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Act. Each Borrower shall, promptly following any request therefor, provide information and documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes
of compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti‑money‑laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
16.16. Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non‑usurious interest permitted by applicable
Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate,
such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
- 102 -
16.17. No Advisory or
Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any
amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrower and CAI acknowledges and agrees and acknowledges its understanding that (i) (A) the services regarding this Credit Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders are arm’s‑length commercial transactions
between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower and CAI has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) it is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands
and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly
agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, CAI or any of their
Affiliates, or any other Person, and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower and CAI or any of their Affiliates with
respect to the transaction contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, CAI and their Affiliates, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, CAI or any of their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with
respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
16.18. Acknowledgment and
Consent to Bail‑In of EEA Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such
liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write‑down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write‑Down
and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail‑In Action
on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(c) a reduction in full or in part or
cancellation of any such liability;
- 103 -
(d) a conversion of all, or a portion
of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of
ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(e) the variation of the terms of such
liability in connection with the exercise of the write‑down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority
16.19. FATCA.
Each of the Borrower and CAI hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender to disclose to any applicable Governmental Authority all information required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of FATCA.
17. GUARANTY
17.1. Guaranty.
CAI hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether
at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations of CAL, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or
otherwise, arising hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lenders in connection with the
collection or enforcement thereof) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon CAI, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non‑perfection or extent of any
collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of CAI under this Guaranty, and CAI hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or
hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.
17.2. Rights of Lenders.
CAI consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge,
accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of
this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute
one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CAI consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary
the risks of CAI under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of CAI.

17.3. Certain Waivers.
CAI waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of CAL or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender) of the liability of CAL; (b) any defense based
on any claim that CAI’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of CAL; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting CAI’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against CAL, proceed against or exhaust any security
for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Lender whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Lender; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. CAI expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for
payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of
acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. CAI waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to CAI by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and §§ 2899
and 3433 of the California Civil Code. As provided below, the guaranty contained in this §17 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The foregoing waivers and the provisions hereinafter set forth
in this Guaranty which pertain to California law are included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above‑referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this guaranty or the
Guaranteed Obligations.
17.4. Obligations
Independent. The obligations of CAI hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought
against CAI to enforce this Guaranty whether or not CAL or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
17.5. Subrogation.
CAI shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty
have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amounts are paid to CAI in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders
and shall forthwith be paid to the Lenders to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
17.6. Termination;
Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable
under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the
case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of CAL or CAI is made, or any of the Lenders exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations 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 any of the Lenders in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with
any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Lenders are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior
revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of CAI under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement and/or this Guaranty.
- 105 -
17.7. Subordination.
CAI hereby subordinates to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of CAL owing to CAI, whether now existing or hereafter arising, excluding the Excluded Intercompany
Obligations, but including but not limited to any obligation of CAL to CAI as subrogee of the Lenders or resulting from CAI’s performance under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the subordination pursuant to the foregoing sentence, CAL may continue
to make payments to CAI in the ordinary course of business, unless: (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have notified CAL in writing that payments of CAL’s obligations that have
been subordinated pursuant to this §17 should lapse until such Default or Event of Default has been cured.
17.8. Stay of
Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against CAI or CAL under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall
nonetheless be payable by CAI immediately upon demand by the Lenders.
17.9. Condition of the
Borrower. CAI acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from CAL and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of CAL
and any such other guarantor as CAI requires, and that none of the Lenders has any duty, and CAI is not relying on the Lenders at any time, to disclose to CAI any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of CAL or the
Guarantor (CAI waiving any duty on the part of the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
18. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
18.1 In connection with all aspects of
each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith
(including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s‑length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative
Agent and the Arranger, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger are and have been acting solely as a principal and are not the financial
advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document
(irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any of the Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Arranger has any obligation to
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any
of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed
appropriate. The Borrower hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
