Section 2.03 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Whenever the Master Issuer wishes to make a Borrowing, the Master Issuer shall (or shall cause the Manager on its behalf to) notify the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly, and in any event by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the same Business Day as its receipt of the same, notify each Funding Agent of its pro rata share thereof (or other required share, as required pursuant to Section 2.02(a)) and notify the Trustee, the Control Party, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider in writing of such Borrowing) by written notice in the form of an Advance Request delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) one (1) Business Day (or, in the case of any Eurodollar Advances for purposes of

Section 3.01(b), three (3) Eurodollar Business Days) prior to the date of Borrowing (unless a shorter period is agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Funding Agents, as applicable), which date of Borrowing shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the Borrowing date, (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing to be made on such date, (iii) the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings (if applicable) to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, which amount shall constitute all outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings outstanding on the date of such notice that are not prepaid with other funds of the Master Issuer available for such purpose, and (iv) sufficient instructions for application of the balance, if any, of the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date (which proceeds shall be made available to the Master Issuer). Requests for any Borrowing may not be made in an aggregate principal amount of less than $100,000 or in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Borrowings for the purpose of repaying then-outstanding Swingline Loans or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings). The Master Issuer agrees that Borrowings shall be made automatically (to the extent not deemed made pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i), 2.05(b)(ii) or 2.08), without the requirement of providing an Advance Request, but subject to the requirements set forth in Section 7.03, upon notice of any drawing under a Letter of Credit and one time per month, the timing of which shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion, if any Swingline Loans are outstanding, in each case, in an amount at least sufficient to repay in full all Unreimbursed L/C Drawings or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, outstanding on the date of the applicable automatic Borrowing. Subject to the provisos to Section 2.02(a), each Borrowing shall be ratably allocated among the Investor Groups’ respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts. Each Funding Agent shall promptly advise its related Conduit Investor, if any, of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) and shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of Borrowing) notify the Administrative Agent, the Master Issuer and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) whether such Conduit Investor has determined to make all or any portion of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by its Investor Group. On the date of each Borrowing and subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2019-1 Supplement (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, confirmation from the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider, as applicable, as to (x) the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, (y) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (z) the principal amount of any other Swingline Loans or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings then outstanding), the applicable Investors in each Investor Group shall make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by such Investor Group by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars of such amount in same day funds no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time), first, to the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, if applicable, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and, second, to the Master Issuer, as instructed in the applicable Advance Request.

(b) (i) The failure of any Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Committed Note Purchaser (whether or not in the same Investor Group) of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Committed Note Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by such other Committed Note Purchaser on the date of any Borrowing and (ii) in the event that one or more Committed Note Purchasers fails to make its Advance by 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the other Committed Note Purchasers not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on such date, and each of the other Committed Note Purchasers shall make available to the Administrative Agent a supplemental Advance in a principal amount (such amount, the “reference amount”) equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal Advance that was unfunded multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Commitment Amount of such Committed Note Purchaser and the denominator of which is the aggregate Commitment Amounts of all Committed Note Purchasers (less the aggregate Commitment Amount of the Committed Note Purchasers failing to make Advances on such date) and (b) the excess of (i) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount over (ii) the product of such Committed Note Purchaser’s related Investor Group Principal Amount multiplied by such Committed Note Purchaser’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage (after giving effect to all prior Advances on such date of Borrowing) (provided that a Committed Note Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to), on terms and conditions to be agreed upon by such Committed Note Purchaser and the Master Issuer, make available to the Administrative Agent a supplemental Advance in a principal amount in excess of the reference amount; provided, however, that no such supplemental Advance shall be permitted to be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount). Such supplemental Advances shall be made by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars in same day funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) one (1) Business Day following the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall immediately make such proceeds available, first, to the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, if applicable, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and, second, to the Master Issuer, as instructed in the applicable Advance Request. If any Committed Note Purchaser which shall have so failed to fund its Advance shall subsequently pay such amount, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amount pro rata to repay any supplemental Advances made by the other Committed Note Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.03(b).

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the date of any Borrowing that an applicable Investor in the related Investor Group will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Investor’s share of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group as part of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Investor has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider and/or the Master Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount, and shall, if such corresponding amount has not been made available by the Administrative Agent, make available to the Swingline Lender,

the L/C Provider and/or the Master Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount once such Investor has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that any Investor shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Investor and the Master Issuer jointly and severally agree to repay (without duplication) to the Administrative Agent on the next Weekly Allocation Date such corresponding amount (in the case of the Master Issuer, in accordance with the Priority of Payments), together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Master Issuer until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Master Issuer, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Investor, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Investor is required by law to deduct any withholding taxes from the amount paid to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.03(c), the sum payable by the Investor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction has been made, the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been made. If such Investor shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Investor’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.04 The Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Notes. On each date an Advance or Swingline Loan is made or a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder, and on each date the outstanding amount thereof is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the related Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Noteholder shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount, evidenced by the related Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Advance Note, Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note or Series 2019-1 Class A-1 L/C Note, of such Advance, Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, as applicable, and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The Master Issuer hereby authorizes each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Noteholder to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Noteholder and the Note Register, (x) such discrepancy shall be resolved by such Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Noteholder, the Control Party and the Trustee, in consultation with the Master Issuer (provided that such consultation with the Master Issuer will not in any way limit or delay such Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Noteholder’s, the Control Party’s and the Trustee’s ability to resolve such discrepancy), and such resolution shall control in the absence of manifest error and the Note Register shall be corrected as appropriate and (y) until any such discrepancy is resolved pursuant to clause (x), the Note Register shall control; provided, further, that the failure of any such notation to be made, or any finding that a notation is incorrect, in any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Master Issuer under this Agreement or the Indenture.

(ii) if a Rapid Amortization Event occurs prior to the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date, then (A) on the date such Rapid Amortization Event occurs, the Commitments with respect to all undrawn Commitment Amounts shall automatically terminate, which termination shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following the making of Advances pursuant to clause (B) below, and the corresponding portions of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically reduced by a corresponding amount (with respect to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts, on a pro rata basis); (B) no later than the second Business Day after the occurrence of such Rapid Amortization Event, the principal amount of all then-

(a) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Master Issuer shall issue and shall cause the Trustee to authenticate the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note, which the Master Issuer shall deliver to the Swingline Lender on the Closing Date. Such Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note shall be dated the Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the Swingline Lender or its nominee, or in such other name as the Swingline Lender may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the Swingline Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Initial Swingline Principal Amount, and shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in this Section 2.06, agrees to make swingline loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” or a “Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans” or the “Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Swingline Loans”) to the Master Issuer from time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that the Swingline Lender shall have no obligation or right to make any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding would exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Advances hereunder, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) or (ii) the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount. Each such borrowing of a Swingline Loan will constitute a Subfacility Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note in an amount corresponding to such borrowing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2019-1 Supplement, the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note may be increased by borrowings of Swingline Loans or decreased by payments of principal thereon from time to time.

(b) Whenever the Master Issuer desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans, the Master Issuer shall (or shall cause the Manager on its behalf to) give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in writing not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the proposed borrowing date, specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term not later than the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date) and (iii) the payment instructions for the proceeds of such borrowing (which shall be consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture and which proceeds shall be made available to the Master Issuer). Such notice shall be in the form of a Swingline Advance Request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (a “Swingline Loan Request”), a copy of which shall also be provided by the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) to the Control Party and the Trustee by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of delivery thereof to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in a minimum amount equal to $100,000. Promptly upon receipt of any Swingline Loan Request (but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of such receipt), the Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement) will inform the Swingline Lender whether or not, after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loan, the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount. If the Administrative Agent confirms that the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loan, then not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the borrowing date specified in the Swingline Loan Request, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2019-1 Supplement, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Master Issuer in accordance with the payment instructions set forth in such notice an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the requested Swingline Loan.

(c) The Master Issuer hereby agrees that each Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Master Issuer pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall constitute the promise and obligation of the Master Issuer to pay to the Swingline Lender the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(a), which amounts shall be due and payable (whether at maturity or by acceleration) as set forth in this Agreement and in the Indenture for the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount.

(d) In accordance with Section 2.03(a), the Master Issuer agrees to cause requests for Borrowings to be made at least one time per month if any Swingline Loans are outstanding in amounts at least sufficient to repay in full all Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of the applicable request. In accordance with Section 3.01(c), outstanding Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) If, prior to the time Advances would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.06(d), an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Master Issuer or any Guarantor or if, for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, Advances may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.06(d), each Committed Note Purchaser shall, on the date such Advances were to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.06(d), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then-outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage, multiplied by (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that was to have been repaid with such Advances.

(g) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Investor such Investor’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Investor its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Investor’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Investor’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Investor will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(h) Each applicable Investor’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.06(d) and each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.06(f) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Investor, Committed Note Purchaser or the Master Issuer may have against the Swingline Lender, the Master Issuer or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Swingline Loan was made; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Master Issuer; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document by the Master Issuer or any other Person or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(i) The Master Issuer may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, effect a permanent reduction in the Swingline Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Swingline Commitment. If requested by the Master Issuer in writing and with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the Swingline Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

(j) The Master Issuer may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender (who shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee thereof in writing), at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of the prepayment, (y) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and (z) if the source of funds for such prepayment is not a Borrowing, there shall be no unreimbursed Advances or Manager Advances (or interest thereon) at such time. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the Master Issuer shall make such prepayment directly to the Swingline Lender and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

Section 2.07 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Provider (or its permitted assigns pursuant to Section 9.17), in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.09, agrees to provide standby letters of credit, including Interest Reserve Letters of Credit (each, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Master Issuer or its designee on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date to be issued in accordance with Section 2.07(h) in such form as may be approved from time to time by the L/C Provider; provided that the L/C Provider shall have no obligation or right to provide any Letter of Credit on a requested issuance date if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount.

Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars, (y) have a face amount of at least $25,000 or, if less than $25,000, shall bear a reasonable administrative fee to be agreed upon by the Master Issuer and the L/C Provider and (z) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (B) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Required Expiration Date”); provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods, each individually not to exceed one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the Required Expiration Date) unless the L/C Provider notifies the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least 30 calendar days prior to the then-applicable expiration date (or no later than the applicable notice date, if earlier, as specified in such Letter of Credit) that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed; provided, further, that any Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is later than the Required Expiration Date so long as (x) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit has been fully cash collateralized by the Master Issuer in accordance with Section 4.02(b) or 4.03 as of the Required Expiration Date and there are no other outstanding L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit as of the Required Expiration Date and (y) such arrangement is satisfactory to the L/C Provider in its sole and absolute discretion.

Additionally, each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall (1) name each of (A) the Trustee, for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders or the Senior Subordinated Noteholders, as applicable, and (B) the Control Party, as the beneficiary thereof; (2) allow the Trustee or the Control Party to submit a notice of drawing in respect of such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit whenever amounts would otherwise be required to be withdrawn from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, pursuant to the Indenture and (3) indicate by its terms that the proceeds in respect of drawings under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall be paid directly into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable.

The L/C Provider shall not at any time be obligated to (I) provide any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would violate, or cause any L/C Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (II) amend any Letter of Credit hereunder if (1) the L/C Provider would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (2) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Master Issuer shall issue and shall cause the Trustee to authenticate the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 L/C Note, which the Master Issuer shall deliver to the L/C Provider on the Closing Date. Such Series 2019-1 Class A-1 L/C Note shall be dated the Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the L/C Provider or in such other name or nominee as the L/C Provider may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the L/C Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Initial Aggregate Undrawn L/C Face Amount, and shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit after the Closing Date will constitute an Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 L/C Note in an amount corresponding to the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of such Letter of Credit. All L/C Obligations (whether in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings) shall be deemed to be principal outstanding under the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and shall be deemed to be Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts for all purposes of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Related Documents other than, in the case of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts, for purposes of accrual of interest. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2019-1 Supplement, the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 L/C Note shall be increased by issuances of Letters of Credit or decreased by expirations thereof or reimbursements of drawings thereunder or other circumstances resulting in the permanent reduction in any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts from time to time. The L/C Provider and the Master Issuer agree to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee of any such decreases for which notice to the Administrative Agent is not otherwise provided hereunder.

(c) The Master Issuer may (or shall cause the Manager on its behalf to) from time to time request that the L/C Provider provide a new Letter of Credit by delivering to the L/C Provider at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor (in the form required by the applicable L/C Issuing Bank as notified to the Master Issuer by the L/C Provider), completed to the satisfaction of the L/C Provider, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the L/C Provider may reasonably request on behalf of the L/C Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the letters of credit set

forth on Schedule IV hereto shall be deemed Letters of Credit provided and issued by the L/C Provider hereunder as of the Closing Date. Upon receipt of any completed Application, the L/C Provider will notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee in writing of the amount, the beneficiary and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall comply with Sections 2.07(a) and (i)) and, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2019-1 Supplement and upon receipt of written confirmation from the Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement) that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount (provided that the L/C Provider shall be entitled to rely upon any written statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons of the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining whether the L/C Provider received such prior written confirmation from the Administrative Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit), the L/C Provider will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered in connection therewith to be processed in accordance with the L/C Issuing Bank’s customary procedures and shall promptly provide the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the L/C Provider be required to provide any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto, as provided in Section 2.07(a)) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the L/C Provider and the Master Issuer. The L/C Provider shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Manager (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The L/C Provider shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Funding Agents, the Investors, the Control Party and the Trustee, written notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(d) The Master Issuer shall pay ratably to the Committed Note Purchasers the L/C Quarterly Fees (as defined in the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter, the “L/C Quarterly Fees”) in accordance with the terms of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments.

(e) To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article II, the provisions of this Article II shall apply.

(f) The Master Issuer may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, effect a permanent reduction in the L/C Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the L/C Commitment. If requested by the Master Issuer in writing and with the prior written consent of the L/C Provider and the Administrative Agent, the L/C Provider may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the L/C Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of each of the Outstanding Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Note Advances, the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate Commitment Amounts.

(g) The L/C Provider shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 2.07 with respect to providing any Letter of Credit hereunder by issuing such Letter of Credit itself or through an Affiliate, so long as the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test is satisfied with respect to such Affiliate and the issuance of such Letter of Credit. If the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test is not satisfied with respect to such Affiliate and the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the L/C Provider or a Person selected by (at the expense of the L/C Provider) the Master Issuer shall issue such Letter of Credit; provided that such Person and issuance of such Letter of Credit satisfies the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test (the L/C Provider (or such Affiliate of the L/C Provider) in its capacity as the issuer of such Letter of Credit or such other Person selected by the Master Issuer being referred to as the “L/C Issuing Bank” with respect to such Letter of Credit). The “L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test” is a test that is satisfied with respect to a Person issuing a Letter of Credit if the Person is a U.S. commercial bank that has, at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (i) a short-term certificate of deposit rating of not less than “P-2” from Xxxxx’x and “A-2” from S&P and (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less than “Baa2” from Xxxxx’x or “BBB” from S&P or such other minimum long-term unsecured debt rating as may be reasonably required by the beneficiary of such proposed Letter of Credit.

(h) The L/C Provider and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing the Letter of Credit or (ii) any law applicable to the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, or any request or directive (which request or directive, in the reasonable judgment of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, has the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall prohibit the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular.

(i) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the Master Issuer when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder.

(j) For the avoidance of doubt, the L/C Commitment shall be a sub-facility limit of the Commitment Amounts and aggregate outstanding L/C Obligations as of any date of determination shall be a component of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount on such date of determination, pursuant to the definition thereof.

(k) If, on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit has not been replaced or renewed and the Master Issuer has not otherwise deposited funds into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, in the amounts that would otherwise be required pursuant to the Indenture had such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit not been issued, the Master Issuer shall instruct the Control Party to submit a notice of drawing under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit and use the proceeds thereof to fund a deposit into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior

Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount, as applicable, on such date, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit had not been issued.

(l) Each of the parties hereto shall execute any amendments to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Master Issuer in order to have any letter of credit issued by a Person selected by the Master Issuer pursuant to Section 2.07(g) hereto or Section 5.17 of the Base Indenture be a “Letter of Credit” that has been issued hereunder and such Person selected by the Master Issuer be an “L/C Issuing Bank.”

Section 2.08 L/C Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) For the purpose of reimbursing the payment of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the Master Issuer agrees to pay, as set forth in this Section 2.08, the L/C Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, an amount in Dollars equal to the sum of (i) the amount of such draft so paid (the “L/C Reimbursement Amount”) and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses (including amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02(c), and collectively, the “L/C Other Reimbursement Costs”) incurred by the L/C Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Master Issuer or any Guarantor, in which cases the procedures specified in Section 2.09 for funding by Committed Note Purchasers shall apply) constitute a request by the Master Issuer to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent for a Base Rate Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount equal to the applicable L/C Reimbursement Amount plus the applicable L/C Other Reimbursement Costs minus any such amounts repaid pursuant to Section 4.03(b), and the Master Issuer shall be deemed to have made such request pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The applicable Investors in each Investor Group hereby agree to make Advances in an aggregate amount for each Investor Group equal to such Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount and L/C Other Reimbursement Costs to pay the L/C Provider. The Borrowing date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the first date on which a Base Rate Borrowing could be made pursuant to Section 2.03 if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such Borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the L/C Provider of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on such Borrowing date, and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the L/C Provider for application to the reimbursement of such drawing.

(b) The Master Issuer’s obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Master Issuer may have or has had against the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person; (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (iii) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other

document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of any jurisdictions or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.08(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Master Issuer’s obligations hereunder. The Master Issuer also agrees that the L/C Provider and the L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Master Issuer’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Master Issuer and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Master Issuer against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the L/C Provider nor the L/C Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Master Issuer to the extent permitted by applicable law) caused by errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Master Issuer agrees that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Master Issuer and shall not result in any liability of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank to the Master Issuer. As between the Master Issuer and the L/C Issuing Bank, the Master Issuer hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such beneficiary’s or transferee’s use of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Master Issuer agrees with the L/C Issuing Bank that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(c) If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Provider shall promptly notify the Manager, the Control Party, the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank to the Master Issuer in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with

such Letter of Credit and, in paying such draft, such L/C Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person(s) executing or delivering any such document.

Section 2.09 L/C Participations.

(a) The L/C Provider irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Committed Note Purchaser, and, to induce the L/C Provider to provide Letters of Credit hereunder (and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit, to induce the L/C Provider to agree to reimburse such L/C Issuing Bank for any payment of any drafts presented thereunder), each Committed Note Purchaser irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the L/C Provider, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Committed Note Purchaser’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Provider’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit provided hereunder and the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to each draft paid or reimbursed by the L/C Provider in connection therewith. Subject to Section 2.07(c), each Committed Note Purchaser unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the L/C Provider that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the L/C Provider is not paid in full by the Master Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of the L/C Provider an amount equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so paid.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider pursuant to Section 2.09(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made or reimbursed by the L/C Provider under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Provider, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.09(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider by such Committed Note Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, the L/C Provider shall be entitled to recover from such Committed Note Purchaser, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Base Rate. A certificate of the L/C Provider submitted to any Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.09(b), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on such Committed Note Purchaser. If any withholding taxes are required by law to be deducted from any amounts payable under this Section 2.09(b), the sum payable by the Committed Note Purchaser shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction has been made, the L/C Provider receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been made.

(c) Whenever, at any time after payment has been made under any Letter of Credit and the L/C Provider has received from any Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.09(a), the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Master Issuer or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the L/C Provider), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, will distribute to such Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, such Committed Note Purchaser shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Provider the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, to it.

(d) Each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.08(a) and to pay its pro rata share of any unreimbursed draft pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Committed Note Purchaser or the Master Issuer may have against the L/C Provider, any L/C Issuing Bank, the Master Issuer or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Letter of Credit was issued; (iii) an adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Master Issuer; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document by the Master Issuer or any other Person; (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit in compliance with this Agreement or with the terms of such Letter of Credit, as applicable; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

INTEREST AND FEES

Section 3.01 Interest.

By (x) 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the second Business Day preceding each Quarterly Calculation Date, each Funding Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of the applicable CP Rate for each Advance made by its Investor Group that was funded or maintained through the issuance of Commercial Paper and was outstanding during all or any portion of the Interest Accrual Period ending immediately prior to such Quarterly Calculation Date and (y) 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second Business Day preceding each Quarterly Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Master Issuer, the Manager, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Funding Agents of such applicable CP Rate and of the applicable interest rate for each other Advance for such Interest Accrual Period and of the amount of interest accrued on Advances during such Interest Accrual Period.

(b) With respect to any Advance (other than one funded or maintained by a Conduit Investor through the issuance of Commercial Paper), so long as no Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Period or Event of Default has commenced and is continuing, the Master Issuer may elect that such Advance bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period (which shall be a period with a term of, at the election of the Master Issuer subject to the proviso in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period, one month, two months, three months or six months) while such Advance is outstanding to the extent provided in Section 3.01(a) by giving notice thereof (including notice of the Master Issuer’s election of the term for the applicable Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period) to the Funding Agents prior to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date which is three (3) Eurodollar Business Days prior to the commencement of such Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is not given in a timely manner, such Advance shall bear interest at the Base Rate. Each such conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Advances for a new Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period in accordance with this Section 3.01(b) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.

(c) Any outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall bear interest at the Base Rate. By (x) 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the second Business Day preceding each Quarterly Calculation Date, the Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in reasonable detail of the amount of interest accrued on any Swingline Loans during the Interest Accrual Period ending on such date and the L/C Provider shall notify the Administrative Agent in reasonable detail of the amount of interest accrued on any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings during such Interest Accrual Period and the amount of fees accrued on any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts during such Interest Accrual Period and (y) 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on such date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Issuer and the Manager of the amount of such accrued interest and fees as set forth in such notices.

(d) All accrued interest pursuant to Sections 3.01(a) or (c) shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

(e) In addition, under the circumstances set forth in Section 3.4 of the Series 2019-1 Supplement, the Master Issuer shall pay quarterly interest in respect of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount in an amount equal to the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Quarterly Post-Renewal Date Contingent Interest payable pursuant to such Section 3.4, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(f) All computations of interest at the CP Rate and the Eurodollar Rate, all computations of Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Quarterly Post-Renewal Date Contingent Interest (other than any accruing on any Base Rate Advances) and all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. All computations of interest at the Base Rate and all computations of Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Quarterly Post-Renewal Date Contingent Interest accruing on any Base Rate Advances shall be made on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as applicable) day year and actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of interest, principal or fees hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, unless specified otherwise in the Indenture, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest owed. Interest shall accrue on each Advance, Swingline Loan and Unreimbursed L/C Drawing from and including the day on which it is made to but excluding the date of repayment thereof.

Section 3.02 Fees.

(a) The Master Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the Administrative Agent Fees (as defined in the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter, collectively, the “Administrative Agent Fees”) in accordance with the terms of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments.

(b) On each Quarterly Payment Date on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Master Issuer shall, in accordance with Section 4.01, pay to each Funding Agent, for the account of the related Committed Note Purchaser(s), the Undrawn Commitment Fees (as defined in the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter, the “Undrawn Commitment Fees”) in accordance with the terms of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments.

(c) The Master Issuer shall pay (i) the fees required pursuant to Section 2.07 in respect of Letters of Credit and (ii) any other fees set forth in the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter (including the Upfront Commitment Fee and any Extension Fees (each, as defined in the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter)), subject to the Priority of Payments.

(d) All fees payable pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be calculated in accordance with Section 3.01(f) and paid on the date due in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. Once paid, all fees shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances other than manifest error.

Section 3.03 Eurodollar Lending Unlawful. If any Investor or Program Support Provider shall determine that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any Official Body asserts that it is unlawful, for any such Person to fund or maintain any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance, the obligation of such Person to fund or maintain any such Advance as a Eurodollar Advance shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Person shall notify the Administrative Agent, the related Funding Agent, the Manager and the Master Issuer that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all then-outstanding Eurodollar Advances of such Person shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the then-current Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

Section 3.04 Deposits Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(a) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to the Eurodollar Advances; or

(b) with respect to any interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder to any Eurodollar Advances the Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period for which has not then commenced, Investor Groups holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the Eurodollar Advances have determined that such interest rate will not adequately reflect the cost to them of funding, agreeing to fund or maintaining such Eurodollar Advances for such Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period, then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent (which, in the case of clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall give upon obtaining actual knowledge that such percentage of the Investor Groups have so determined) to the Funding Agents, the Manager and the Master Issuer, the obligations of the Investors to fund or maintain any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance after the end of the then-current Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period, if any, with respect thereto shall forthwith be suspended and on the date such notice is given such Advances will convert to Base Rate Advances until the Administrative Agent has notified the Funding Agents and the Master Issuer that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.04 (a) or (b) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.04 (a) or (b) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Funding Rate” or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Funding Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Master Issuer shall endeavor in good faith to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Funding Rate (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, including LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below); provided, that (i) if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and (ii)

any LIBOR Successor Rate proposed by the Administrative Agent shall be no less favorable to the Master Issuer than comparable successor rates applied to other similarly situated issuers or borrowers under syndicated loan facilities and/or applied under other facilities under which the Administrative Agent functions in a similar capacity; provided, further, that if any of the circumstances set forth in Section 3.04(a) or (b) have arisen, until such amendment is effective, the Advances will bear interest at the Base Rate without giving effect to clause (a)(i)(C) of the definition thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to Investor Groups, written notice from (x) if no single Investor Group holds more than 50% of the Commitments, the Investor Groups holding more than 50% of the Commitments or (y) if a single Investor Group holds more than 50% of the Commitments, two-thirds of the Commitments (provided in either case that the Commitment of any Defaulting Investor shall be disregarded in the determination of whether such threshold percentage of Commitments has been met) stating that such Investor Groups reasonably object to such amendment.

“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definitions (and components thereof) and provisions relating to interest herein and in the Series 2019-1 Supplement, including, the definition of “Base Rate”, “CP Funding Rate”, “Eurodollar Rate”, “Eurodollar Advance”, “Eurodollar Business Day”, “Eurodollar Funding Rate”, “Eurodollar Funding Rate (Reserve Adjusted)”, “Eurodollar Reserve Percentage”, “Eurodollar Tranche”, “Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Note Rate”, “Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period”, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Master Issuer, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with the Master Issuer).

Section 3.05 Increased Costs, etc. The Master Issuer agrees to reimburse each Investor and any Program Support Provider (each, an “Affected Person”, which term, for purposes of Sections 3.07 and 3.08 and 3.09, shall also include the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuing Bank) for any increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital, in respect of funding or maintaining (or of its obligation to fund or maintain) any Advances that arise in connection with any Change in Law, except for any Change in Law with respect to increased capital costs and Taxes which shall be governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively (whether or not amounts are payable thereunder in respect thereof). For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, guidelines or directives issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to

Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted subsequent to the date hereof. Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and the Master Issuer in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount of return. Such additional amounts (“Increased Costs”) shall be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Issuer within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of such notice to be payable as Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Master Issuer; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Master Issuer under this Section 3.05, the Master Issuer shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand if the relevant Affected Person knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions in the rate of return (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.06 Funding Losses. In the event any Affected Person shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person to fund or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance) as a result of:

(a) any conversion, repayment, prepayment or redemption (for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of any Mandatory Decrease or Voluntary Decrease, or the acceleration of the maturity of such Eurodollar Advance) of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Advance on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period applicable thereto;

(b) any Advance not being funded or maintained as a Eurodollar Advance after a request therefor has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein (for a reason other than the failure of such Affected Person to make an Advance after all conditions thereto have been met); or

(c) any failure of the Master Issuer to make a Mandatory Decrease or a Voluntary Decrease, prepayment or redemption with respect to any Eurodollar Advance after giving notice thereof pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Series 2019-1 Supplement;

then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and the Master Issuer, the Master Issuer shall deposit into the Collection Account (within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of such notice) to be payable as Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay directly to such Affected Person such amount (“Breakage Amount” or “Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amount”) as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Master Issuer under this Section 3.06, the Master Issuer shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand if the relevant Affected Person knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Master Issuer.

Section 3.07 Increased Capital or Liquidity Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or under a Program Support Agreement or the Advances, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit made or issued by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person (or in the case of an L/C Issuing Bank, by the L/C Provider) to the related Funding Agent and the Master Issuer (or, in the case of the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, to the Master Issuer), the Master Issuer shall deposit into the Collection Account within seven (7) Business Days of the Master Issuer’s receipt of such notice, to be payable as Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent (or, in the case of the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, directly to such Person) and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person, such amounts (“Increased Capital Costs”) as will be sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Master Issuer under this Section 3.07, the Master Issuer shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand if the relevant Affected Person knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the Change in Law (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Issuer. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, guidelines or directives issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted subsequent to the date hereof.

Section 3.08 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise required by law, all payments by the Master Issuer of principal of, and interest on, the Advances, the Swingline Loans and the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges in the nature of a tax imposed by any taxing authority including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, fees, duties, withholdings and other charges, and including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto, being called “Taxes”), but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (i) net income, franchise (imposed in lieu of net income) or similar Taxes (and including branch profits or alternative minimum Taxes) and any other Taxes imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Related Document), (ii) with respect to any Affected Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state of the United States (“Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding Tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Master Issuer with respect to withholding Tax, (iii) with respect to any Affected Person, any Taxes imposed under FATCA, (iv) any backup withholding Tax and (v) with respect to any Affected Person, any Taxes imposed as a result of such Affected Person’s failure to comply with Section 3.08(d) (such Taxes not excluded by (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Taxes are imposed and required by law to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Master Issuer hereunder to an Affected Person, then, if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, (x) the amount of the payment shall be increased so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount equal to the sum that would have been received by the Affected Person had no such deduction or withholding been required and (y) the Master Issuer, Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold the amount of such Taxes from such payment (as increased, if applicable, pursuant to the preceding clause (x)) and shall pay such amount, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the taxing authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Moreover, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person from the Master Issuer or otherwise in respect of any Related Document or the transactions contemplated therein, such Affected Person may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Master Issuer will, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the related Funding Agent’s and Master Issuer’s receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), deposit into the Collection Account, to be distributed as Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Persons, such additional amounts (collectively, “Increased Tax Costs,” which term shall include all amounts payable by or on behalf of the Master Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.08) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Non-

Excluded Taxes on such Increased Tax Costs) shall equal the amount such Person would have retained had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been asserted. Any amount payable to an Affected Person under this Section 3.08 shall be reduced by, and Increased Tax Costs shall not include, the amount of incremental damages (including Taxes) due or payable by the Master Issuer as a direct result of such Affected Person’s failure to demand from the Master Issuer additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08 within 180 days from the date on which the related Non-Excluded Taxes were incurred.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Taxes, and in any event within thirty (30) days of any such payment being due, the Master Issuer, Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall furnish to each applicable Affected Person or its agents a certified copy of an official receipt (or other documentary evidence satisfactory to such Affected Person and agents) evidencing the payment of such Taxes.

(d) Each Affected Person, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable after the obsolescence or invalidity of any form or document previously delivered or within a reasonable period of time following a written request by the Master Issuer), shall deliver to the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-9, as applicable, or applicable successor form, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable, as will permit the Master Issuer or the Administrative Agent to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from, or eligible for a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding Taxes (including withholding pursuant to FATCA) and to determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Promptly following the receipt of a written request by the Master Issuer or the Administrative Agent, each Affected Person shall deliver to the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent any other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Non-Excluded Taxes other than United States federal withholding Taxes, including but not limited to, such information necessary to claim the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code. The Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent (or other withholding agent selected by the Master Issuer) may rely on any form or document provided pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) until notified otherwise by the Affected Person that delivered such form or document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Affected Person shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a change in applicable law after the time the Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office).

(e) The Administrative Agent, Trustee, Paying Agent or any other withholding agent may deduct and withhold any Taxes required by any laws to be deducted and withheld from any payments pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Master Issuer or the Administrative Agent or other withholding agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Taxes from payments made to or for the account of any Affected Person, then to the extent such improper withholding or backup withholding was directly caused by such Affected Person’s actions or inactions, such Affected Person shall indemnify the Master Issuer, Trustee, Paying Agent and the Administrative Agent for any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.08, and costs and expenses (including attorney costs) of the Master Issuer, Trustee, Paying Agent and the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Affected Persons, severally, under this Section 3.08 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Affected Person or the termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(g) On or before the date the Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Master Issuer, two duly-signed, properly completed copies of the documentation prescribed in clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto): (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor thereto, or (ii) (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender Party, a U.S. branch withholding certificate on Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or any successor thereto evidencing its agreement with the Master Issuer to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal withholding purposes. At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Master Issuer.

(h) If an Affected Person determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.08 or as to which it has been paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08, it shall promptly notify the Master Issuer and the Manager in writing of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a written request from the Master Issuer, pay over such refund to the Master Issuer (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid to such Affected Person under this Section 3.08 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including the net amount of Taxes, if any, imposed on or with respect to such refund or payment) of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority that is directly attributable to such refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes); provided that the Master Issuer, immediately upon the request of the Affected Person to the Master Issuer (which request shall include a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount to be repaid) agrees to repay the amount of the refund (and any applicable interest) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such amount) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person or any other Person is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. This Section 3.08 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the Master Issuer or any other Person.

The provisions of this Section 9.10(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by a Lender Party in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving any Securitization Entity.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), each Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor and its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Related Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such Conduit Investor, without the prior written consent of the Master Issuer. Upon such assignment by a Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor, (ii) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Related Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties, in each case relating to the Commercial Paper and/or the

Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Conduit Investor herein and in the other Related Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under the Base Indenture or under any other Related Document with respect to such portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount and such Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, (v) all distributions in respect of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Funding Rate” with respect to the portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor, as applicable, funded or maintained with commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Funding Rate” applicable to such Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to Commercial Paper issued by or for the benefit of such Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Conduit Investor), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Funding Agent with respect to such Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by any Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Committed Note Purchasers in the same Investor Group as such Conduit Investor under Section 2.03 to fund any Increase not funded by such Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.17(c) is intended to permit and provide for (i) assignments from a Committed Note Purchaser to a Conduit Investor in a different Investor Group and (ii) assignments from a Conduit Investor to a Committed Note Purchaser in a different Investor group, and, in each of (i) and (ii), Exhibit C shall be revised to reflect such assignments.

(f) Any assignment of the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Notes shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

Section 9.18 Defaulting Investors(a) . (a) The Master Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Defaulting Investor and the Administrative Agent, (i) require any Defaulting Investor to sell all of its rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Related Documents to which it is a party, to an assignee; provided that (x) such assignment is made in compliance with Section 9.17 and (y) such Defaulting Investor shall have received from such assignee an amount equal to such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder or (ii) remove any Defaulting Investor as an Investor by paying to such Defaulting Investor an amount equal to such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder.

(b) In the event that a Defaulting Investor desires to sell all or any portion of it rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2019-1 Class A-1 Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Related Documents to which it is a party, to an unaffiliated third-party assignee for an amount less than 100% (or, if only a portion of such rights, obligations and commitments are proposed to be sold, such portion) of such Defaulting

Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder, such Defaulting Investor shall promptly notify the Master Issuer of the proposed sale (the “Sale Notice”). Each Sale Notice shall certify that such Defaulting Investor has received a firm offer from the prospective unaffiliated third party and shall contain the material terms of the proposed sale, including, without limitation, the purchase price of the proposed sale and the portion of such Defaulting Investor’s rights, obligations and commitments proposed to be sold. The Master Issuer and any of its Affiliates shall have an option for a period of three (3) Business Days from the date the Sale Notice is given to elect to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments at the same price and subject to the same material terms as described in the Sale Notice. The Master Issuer or any of its Affiliates may exercise such purchase option by notifying such Defaulting Investor before expiration of such three (3) Business Day period that it wishes to purchase all (but not a portion) of the rights, obligations and commitments of such Defaulting Investor proposed to be sold to such unaffiliated third party. If the Master Issuer or any of its Affiliates gives notice to such Defaulting Investor that it desires to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments, the Master Issuer or such Affiliate shall promptly pay the purchase price to such Defaulting Investor. If the Master Issuer or any of its Affiliates does not respond to any Sale Notice within such three (3) Business Day period, the Master Issuer and its Affiliates shall be deemed not to have exercised such purchase option.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Investor becomes a Defaulting Investor, then, until such time as such Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Such Defaulting Investor’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.01.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to the account of such Defaulting Investor (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied (and the Master Issuer shall instruct the Trustee to apply such amounts) as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; fourth, as the Master Issuer may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Master Issuer, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Investor’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of any future Undrawn L/C Face Amounts multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the

Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Investors, the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Investor, the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Master Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Master Issuer against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Investor 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 Advances or any extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) owed to, all non-Defaulting Investors on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.09(a) owed to, such Defaulting Investor until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Investors pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 9.18(c)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Investor that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Investor or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 9.18(c)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Investor, and each Investor irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) All or any part of such Defaulting Investor’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Investors pro rata based on their Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Investor’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Master Issuer shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Master Issuer shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the product of any non-Defaulting Investor’s related Investor Group Principal Amount multiplied by such non-Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage to exceed such non-Defaulting Investor’s Commitment Amount. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Investor arising from that Investor having become a Defaulting Investor, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Investor as a result of such non-Defaulting Investor’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(iv) If the reallocation described in clause (iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Master Issuer shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the amount that cannot be so reallocated.

(d) If the Master Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider agree in writing that an Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Investor will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Investors or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Investors in accordance with their respective Commitments (without giving effect to Section 9.18(c)(iii)), whereupon such Investor will cease to be a Defaulting Investor; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Master Issuer while that Investor was a Defaulting Investor; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Investor to Investor will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Investor’s having been a Defaulting Investor.
