69 amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). (de) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date,; provided that, interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (cd) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Margin. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. (ii) No Hedge Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.15). (cb) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that any tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. 2.16 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the Revolving Credit Percentages of the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.

Any payment made by the Borrower after 2:00 pm, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the EurodollarTerm SOFR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

If such Revolving Credit Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Credit Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans, on demand, from the Borrower. (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment of Revolving Credit Loans due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Revolving Credit Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Revolving Credit Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(a) If any Change in Law: (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any ApplicationIssuer Document or any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement, taxes expressly excluded under the provisions of Section 2.18 in defining “Non-Excluded Taxes” or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.18); (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar RateTerm SOFR hereunder; or (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining EurodollarTerm SOFR Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or


 
75 directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.18 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes (however denominated), branch profit taxes, and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising from such Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document); (ii) taxes that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section; (iii) taxes that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 2.18; or (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to


 
76 amounts payable under this Section 2.18(c)) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, except to the extent that any such amounts are compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.18(a). The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. (e) Each Lender shall deliver documentation and information to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the times and in form required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sufficient to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not payments made with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents are subject to taxes, and, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction. However, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation or information pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate,; provided that, such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense, and would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (f) Any Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Each Lender (or Transferee) that in not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant that would be Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender (each, a “Non-U.S. Participant”), to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue


 
77 Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (together with all required supporting documentation), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, G-2, G-3 or G-4, as applicable, and a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Non-U.S. Participant, on or before the date such Non-U.S. Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender (and Non-U.S. Participant) shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender (and Non-U.S. Participant). Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower (or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Participant, the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. (g) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Ttax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (h) Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall require the Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. 2.19 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of EurodollarTerm SOFR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of EurodollarTerm SOFR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the


 
78 amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the applicable interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.20 Inability to Determine Rates; Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.19. . (a) Subject to Section 2.15, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Simple SOFR” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or “Term Benchmark” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, in the case of any request for an affected Term Benchmark Borrowing, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19. If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Daily Simple SOFR” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or “Term Benchmark” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be


 
79 determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination. (b) If any Lender determines that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to any Term Benchmark or Daily Simple SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Term Benchmark or Daily Simple SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily Simple SOFR or any Term Benchmark. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19. 2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that, such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20. 2.22 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.20, (ii) is a Defaulting Lender or (iii) is a Non-Consenting Lender with a replacement financial institution; provided that, (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.21 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18 or


 
80 to eliminate the illegality referred to in such notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.20, (D) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans, L/C Advances and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (E) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 (as though Section 2.19 were applicable) if any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (F) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (G) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (H) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, and (I) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. (b) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment requires the agreement of the Supermajority Lenders, all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”. 2.23 Incremental Borrowings. (a) At any time after the Effective Date and prior to the date that is twelve months prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, (x) by delivery of a Revolving Commitment Increase Notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall promptly be copied by the Administrative Agent to each Lender, request an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to a Revolving Commitment Increase Notice or (y) by delivery of an Incremental Term Loan Facility Notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall promptly be copied by the Administrative Agent to each Lender, add one or more tranches of term loans under the Loan Documents pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Facility Notice (the “Incremental Term Loan Facilities” and the term loans made thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”; each such increase or tranche pursuant to clauses (x) and (y), an “Incremental Facility”). The Borrower may request Incremental Facilities in an aggregate principal amount up to $200,000,000235,000,000; provided that, (i) each such Revolving Offered Increase Amount shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $25,000,000, (ii) each such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $75,000,0005,000,000 and (iii) at no time shall the Total Revolving Credit Commitments (as so increased) together with the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan Facilities exceed $450,000,000. (b) (i) For any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall (A) first, offer each of the Revolving Credit Lenders the opportunity to provide a pro rata portion of any Revolving Offered Increase Amount pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(iii) below, (B) second, offer each of the Revolving Credit Lenders the opportunity to provide all or a portion of any Revolving Offered Increase Amount not otherwise accepted by the other Revolving Credit Lenders (pursuant to clause (A) above) pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(ii) below


 
81 and (C) third, with the consent of each Issuing Lender, the L/C Administrator, each Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), offer one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities the opportunity to provide all or a portion of such Revolving Offered Increase Amount not accepted by the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(ii) below. Each Revolving Commitment Increase Notice shall specify which banks, financial institutions or other entities the Borrower desires to provide such Revolving Offered Increase Amount not accepted by the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders, and, if the Revolving Credit Lenders do not accept the entire Revolving Offered Increase Amount, such banks, financial institutions or other entities offered the opportunity to provide the portion of the Revolving Offered Increase Amount not accepted by the Revolving Credit Lenders. (ii) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity that the Borrower selects to offer participation in any increased Total Revolving Credit Commitments and that elects to become a party to this Agreement and provide a Revolving Credit Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(i) shall execute a New Lender Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, with the Borrower, each Issuing Lender, each Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called a “New Revolving Credit Lender”) shall become a Revolving Credit Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement,; provided that, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any such New Revolving Credit Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000. (iii) Any Revolving Credit Lender that accepts an offer to it by the Borrower to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(i) shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit J (each, a “Commitment Increase Supplement”), with the Borrower, each Issuing Lender, each Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, whereupon such Revolving Credit Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment as so increased. (iv) On any Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, (A) each bank, financial institution or other entity that is a New Revolving Credit Lender pursuant Section 2.23(b)(ii) or any Revolving Credit Lender that has increased its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(iii) shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, each Revolving Credit Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Revolving Credit Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of


 
82 Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence in respect of each EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.19 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. (v) The increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be effective on the date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) the Administrative Agent receives satisfactory legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing documents deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent in connection with such increase; provided that, immediately prior to and after giving effect to such increase, (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) each of the REIT and the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with Section 7.1, such determination of pro forma compliance to be based on the then outstanding principal amount of Loans and (C) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date,; provided that, (x) to the extent that any such representation or warranty relates to a specific earlier date, they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, (y) to the extent that such representation or warranty relates to a Borrowing Base Property being removed from the Borrowing Base, the representation and warranties shall be true and correct without regard to such removed Borrowing Base Property and (z) to the extent that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such respective dates. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall require, as a condition to its effectiveness, the signature of, or any consent or approval from, any Lender that is not obligated to increase its Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to a Commitment Increase Supplement. (c) (i) For any Incremental Term Loan Facility, the Borrower shall (A) first, offer each of the Revolving Credit Lenders the opportunity to provide a pro rata portion of any Incremental Term Loan Facility, (B) second, offer each of the Revolving Credit Lenders the opportunity to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Term Loan Facility not otherwise accepted by the other Revolving Credit Lenders (pursuant to clause (A) above) and (C) third, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), offer one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities the opportunity to provide all or a portion of such any Incremental Term Loan Facility not accepted by the Revolving Credit Lenders (herein called a “New Term Loan Lender”),; provided that, the minimum amount of Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Term Loan Facility of any new Term Loan Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000. Each Incremental Term Loan Facility Notice shall specify which banks, financial institutions or other entities the Borrower desires to provide the portion of such Incremental Term Loan Facility not accepted by the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders, and, if the Revolving Credit Lenders do not accept the entire Incremental Term Loan Facility, such banks, financial


 
83 institutions or other entities offered the opportunity to provide the portion of the Incremental Term Loan Facility not accepted by the Revolving Credit Lenders. (ii) Each Incremental Term Loan Facility will become effective pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Person providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility and the Administrative Agent. Incremental Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to set forth the amounts, terms and conditions of the related Incremental Term Loan Facility consistent with the terms of this Agreement and to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23(c),; provided that, the first Incremental Amendment after the 2018 Amendment Agreement Effective Date may amend and restate this Agreement to reflect the addition of a term loan facility on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Credit Loans without requiring the consent of any Revolving Credit Lender so long as the terms of such amendment and restatement do not adversely affect the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby. This Section 2.23 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.16 or 10.1 to the contrary. The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. (iii) Each Incremental Amendment will set forth the amount and terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loan Facility. The terms of each Incremental Term Loan Facility will be as agreed between the Borrower and the Persons providing such Incremental Facility; provided that: (A) the final maturity date of any such Incremental Term Loans will be no earlier than the date that is one year after the Revolving Credit Termination Date then in effect; (B) no Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be guaranteed by any Person other than a Guarantor; (C) any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be on terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, not materially more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility than, those applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, as determined in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower in its reasonable judgment (except (x) for covenants applicable only to periods after the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the time of incurrence and (y) any term or condition to the extent such term or condition is also added for the benefit of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Loans); provided that, this clause (C) will not apply to (1) terms addressed in the other clauses of this Section 2.23(c), (2) interest rate,


 
84 fees, funding discounts and other pricing terms, (3) redemption, prepayment or other premiums, and (4) optional prepayment or redemption terms. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.23, (i) in no event may the Borrower deliver more than two Revolving Commitment Increase Notices and/or Incremental Term Loan Facility Notices, (ii) in no event shall there be more than two Incremental Facilities and (iii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or to commit to provide any portion of an Incremental Term Loan Facility unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 2.24 Defaulting Lender. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of Required Lenders and Supermajority Lenders. (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to anythe Applicable Issuing LenderParty or any Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or Several Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and Several Letters of Credit under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Applicable Issuing LendersParty or the Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Applicable Issuing LendersParty or the Swing Line Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and


 
85 eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Nnon-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(d) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or an advising bank with respect thereto, the Applicable Issuing Party will also deliver (i) in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) in the case of a Several Letter of Credit, to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender, a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 3.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuing Party shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. If such Applicable Issuing Party notifies the Borrower of any payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such payment, the Borrower shall reimburse such Applicable Issuing Party through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing on such day in Dollars; provided that, if such notice is not provided to the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. on such payment date, then the Borrower shall reimburse such Applicable Issuing Party through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of such Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Reimbursement Date”). In the case of payments made in respect of Several Letters of Credit, the L/C Administrator shall distribute such payments to the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender with respect to a Fronted Letter of Credit by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender who has a participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit of the Reimbursement Date, the Dollar amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the applicable Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a borrowing request and a borrowing base certificate). Any notice given by an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that, the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. (b) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including each Revolving Credit Lender acting as an Issuing Lender) who has a participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit shall, upon receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 3.3(a), make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit


 
93 Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(c), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Lender. (c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 have not been satisfied or for any other reason (including the prior occurrence of the Applicable Termination Date or any other prior termination of all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments), the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Lender an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest thereon) and shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to Loans that are Base Rate Loans. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Credit Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3. (d) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 3.3 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Fronted Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Lender. . (ae) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce eachRevolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender to issuefor amounts drawn under Fronted Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount, as contemplated by this Section 3.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (iA) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participantwhich such Revolving Credit Lender may have against anysuch Issuing Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,; (iiB) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the


 
94 condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant; or (vC) any other circumstance, happening oroccurrence, event whatsoeveror condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.; provided that, each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 3.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a borrowing request and a borrowing base certificate). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Fronted Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. (bf) If any amount (a “Participation Amount”) Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuingsuch Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is duethe foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3 by the time specified in Section 3.3(b), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Lender shall so notify be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, 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 Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan included in the relevant borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of anapplicable Issuing Lender to any L/C Participantsubmitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Sectionclause (f) shall be conclusive in the absencet of manifest error. 3.4 Repayment of Participations.

The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.2 (or, if applicable, Section 2.4), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.


 
96 3.63.5 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Party for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Applicable Issuing Party or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (d) any payment by the Applicable Issuing Party under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Applicable Issuing Party under such 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 any Debtor Relief Law; (e) any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or (f) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other Person. The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly, but no later than two Business Days following receipt of such copy, notify the Applicable Issuing Party. 3.6 Several Letters of Credit. (a) Upon request of Borrower, the L/C Administrator is hereby authorized to execute and deliver each Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit on behalf of each Revolving Credit Lender; provided that, upon request of the Borrower, such Several Letter of Credit or amendment will be executed by each Revolving Credit Lender. The L/C Administrator shall use the Revolving Credit Percentage of each Revolving Credit


 
97 Lender as its “Commitment Share” under each Several Letter of Credit; provided that, each Limited Fronting Lender (if any), in its capacity as such, shall, in addition to its own “Commitment Share” as a Revolving Credit Lender, be deemed to have a “Commitment Share” (or equivalent term) equal to the Revolving Credit Percentage (or portion thereof, if applicable) of each Non-SLC Bank for which such Limited Fronting Lender acts in such capacity under such Several Letter of Credit. The L/C Administrator shall not amend any Several Letter of Credit to change the “Commitment Shares” of any Revolving Credit Lender or add or delete a Revolving Credit Lender liable thereunder unless such amendment is done in connection with a Limited Fronting Lender Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6(d), an assignment in accordance with Section 10.6, a change in the Revolving Credit Lenders and/or the Revolving Credit Percentages as a result of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.23, an extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.6 or any other addition or replacement of a Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Revolving Credit Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each Limited Fronting Lender) hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the L/C Administrator its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of such Revolving Credit Lender with full power of substitution and revocation in its own name or in the name of the L/C Administrator to issue, execute and deliver, as the case may be, each Several Letter of Credit and each amendment to a Several Letter of Credit and to carry out the purposes of this Agreement with respect to Several Letters of Credit. Upon request, each Revolving Credit Lender shall execute such powers of attorney or other documents as any beneficiary of any Several Letter of Credit may reasonably request to evidence the authority of the L/C Administrator to execute and deliver such Several Letter of Credit and any amendment or other modification thereto on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders. To the extent that the L/C Administrator has not received funds from a Revolving Credit Lender with respect to a Several Letter of Credit, the L/C Administrator shall only forward the funds actually received to the beneficiary. (b) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each Limited Fronting Lender) agrees with the L/C Administrator that, if a draft is paid under any Several Letter of Credit for which such L/C Administrator is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the L/C Administrator upon demand at the L/C Administrator’s address for notices specified herein an amount in Dollars equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Share (and, in the case of each Limited Fronting Lender, the Commitment Share (or the portion thereof for which it has agreed to be a Limited Fronting Lender) of each applicable Non-SLC Bank). In the event that a Limited Fronting Lender pays the Commitment Share of a Non-SLC Bank, such Non-SLC Bank shall pay such Commitment Share (or the relevant portion thereof, if applicable) to such Limited Fronting Lender in purchase of its participation in such payment. Each Revolving Credit Lender’s (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each Limited Fronting Lender’s and each Non-SLC Bank’s) obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against L/C Administrator, the Borrower or any other Person; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.


 
98 (c) The obligations of each Revolving Credit Lender under and in respect of each Several Letter of Credit are several, and the failure by any Revolving Credit Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any Several Letter of Credit shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower toward any other party hereto nor shall any other such party (other than Limited Fronting Lenders with respect to Several Letters of Credit they have issued on behalf of Non-SLC Banks) be liable for the failure by such Revolving Credit Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any Several Letter of Credit. (d) In the event that any Revolving Credit Lender agrees (in its sole discretion) to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any Non-SLC Bank upon such terms and conditions as such parties may agree (including fees payable by such Non-SLC Bank to such Limited Fronting Lender) (such agreement, a “Limited Fronting Lender Agreement”), the following provisions shall apply (in addition to any other provisions hereof relating to Limited Fronting Lenders): (i) upon the issuance of any Several Letter of Credit pursuant hereto, with respect to any Non-SLC Bank, each applicable Limited Fronting Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of such Non-SLC Bank, agrees (A) to issue through the L/C Administrator, in addition to its own obligations as a Revolving Credit Lender under such Several Letter of Credit, severally, such Several Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Non-SLC Bank’s Commitment Share of the stated amount of such Several Letter of Credit (or the portion thereof for which such Limited Fronting Lender has agreed to be a Limited Fronting Lender), and (B) to amend or extend each Several Letter of Credit previously issued by it as a Limited Fronting Lender for such Non-SLC Bank; and (ii) with respect to any Several Letter of Credit issued by a Limited Fronting Lender pursuant to clause (i) above for a Non-SLC Bank, such Non-SLC Bank agrees to purchase participations in the obligations of such Limited Fronting Lender under such Several Letter of Credit in the amount attributable to such Non-SLC Bank. Without any further action on the part of any party, each Limited Fronting Lender hereby grants to each applicable Non-SLC Bank for which it is acting as a Limited Fronting Lender hereunder, and each such Non-SLC Bank hereby acquires from such Limited Fronting Lender, a participation in such Limited Fronting Lender’s Commitment Share of each Several Letter of Credit for which such Limited Fronting Lender is acting as a Limited Fronting Lender on behalf of such Non-SLC Bank hereunder in the amount attributable to such Non-SLC Bank. Each such Non-SLC Bank purchasing a participation hereunder acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire such participations in respect of Several Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each such Non-SLC Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the L/C Administrator, for account of the applicable Limited Fronting Lender, an amount equal to the amount of each payment made by such Limited Fronting Lender in respect of the


 
99 portion of each such Several Letter of Credit in which such Non-SLC Bank holds a participation, promptly upon the request of such Limited Fronting Lender, at any time from the time such payment is made until such payment is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Such payment by such Non-SLC Bank shall be made for the account of the applicable Limited Fronting Lender without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. To the extent that any Non-SLC Bank has made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse a Limited Fronting Lender in respect of any participation interests purchased hereunder in respect of any Several Letter of Credit, promptly following receipt by the L/C Administrator of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to Section 3 in respect of such Several Letter of Credit, the L/C Administrator shall distribute such payment to such Limited Fronting Lender and such Non-SLC Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Non-SLC Bank in respect of its participation pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Limited Fronting Lender for any payment made in respect of any drawing under a Several Letter of Credit shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the amount of such drawing. (e) Each Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any Non-SLC Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the L/C Administrator) of such agreement and of any termination or expiration of such agreement. (f) In the event that, pursuant to this Section 3.6, any Revolving Credit Lender agrees to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any other Revolving Credit Lender that becomes a Non-SLC Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender shall receive such compensation therefor as such Non-SLC Bank and such Revolving Credit Lender may agree. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to agree to act hereunder as a Limited Fronting Lender for any other Revolving Credit Lender. (g) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any indemnifiable amount required to be paid under Section 10.5 to a Revolving Credit Lender acting in its capacity as Limited Fronting Lender with respect to any outstanding Several Letters of Credit, the relevant Non-SLC Bank agrees to pay to the Limited Fronting Lender such indemnity payment 3.7 Non-SLC Bank. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, at all times from and after the Effective Date, (a) to have internal policies that authorize it to issue Several Letters of Credit or (b) if such Revolving Credit Lender is a Non-SLC Bank, to agree with another Revolving Credit Lender which is not a Non-SLC Bank, as provided in Section 3.6, that such Revolving Credit Lender shall (in its sole discretion) act as the Limited Fronting Lender for such Non-SLC Bank with respect to any Several Letters of Credit which are outstanding at the time such Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Non-SLC Bank and/or are issued during the period that such Revolving Credit Lender is a Non-SLC Bank.


 
100 . The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 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 Borrower 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 Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 3.8 Role of Applicable Issuing Party. Each Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuing Party shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Applicable Issuing Party, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons, nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Applicable Issuing Party shall be liable to any Revolving Credit Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that, this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against any L/C Issuer, the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Administrator any of their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons, nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Applicable Issuing Party shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (f) of Section 3.5; provided that, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against such L/C Issuer or L/C Administrator, and such L/C Issuer or L/C Administrator may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary unless payable by the Borrower to a third party) damages suffered by the Borrower which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment were caused by such L/C Issuer’s or


 
101 such L/C Administrator’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or illegal acts or such L/C Issuer’s or such L/C Administrator’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer and the L/C Administrator’s may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer and such or L/C Administrator’s shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 3.9 Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Applicable Issuing Party and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. 3.73.10 Letter of Credit PaymentsFees. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. 3.9 Resignation of an Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. In the event of any such resignation, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender hereunder by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the resigning Issuing Lender (provided that the resigning Issuing Lender shall not be required to execute or deliver any written agreement if the resigning Issuing Lender has no Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Obligations outstanding), provided that, the failure by the Borrower to appoint a successor shall not affect the resignation of such Issuing Lender. On the date of effectiveness of such resignation, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees to the resigning Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.3. Any Issuing Lender resigning hereunder, (i) shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans pursuant to Section 3.5 or to purchase participations in outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4, but, after receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower of notice of resignation from such Issuing Lender, such Issuing Lender shall not be required, and shall be discharged from its obligations, to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or increase the amount of Letters of Credit then outstanding, without affecting its rights and obligations with respect to Letters of Credit previously issued by it and (ii) the provisions of


 
102 Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Issuing Lender under this Agreement. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Issuing Lender and (b) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the such resigning Issuing Lender. In the event that the Borrower does not appoint a successor Issuing Lender to replace a resigning Issuing Lender, on the effective date of such resigning Issuing Lender’s resignation, (x) such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate and (y) the L/C Sublimit shall automatically be reduced by an amount equal to such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment until the Borrower appoints a successor Issuing Lender, if any, in accordance with this Section 3.9, provided that, the aggregate L/C Commitments of all Issuing Lenders shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such resignation or replacement of an Issuing Lender. . The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Revolving Credit Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in Dollars for each outstanding Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term SOFR Loans times the average daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided that, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Applicable Issuing Party pursuant to this Section 3 or Section 2.24 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Credit Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.24, with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Applicable Issuing Party for its own account. For purposes of computing the average daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the L/C Fee Payment Date, and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. For the avoidance of doubt, Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue, and be due and payable, on any Extended Letter of Credit notwithstanding its expiry being after the Applicable Termination Date (and the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term SOFR Loans shall continue to be computed for such purpose during such period). If there is any change in the Applicable Margin with respect to Term SOFR Loans during any quarter, the average daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the relevant Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. 3.11 Fronting Fee and Documentary Processing Charges. The Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Fronted Letter of Credit, (at the rate as shall be separately agreed by the Borrower and such Issuing Lender), computed on the average daily amount available to be drawn under such Fronted Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on L/C Fee Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Fronted Letter of Credit, on the Applicable Termination Date, on the date of expiry of any Extended Letter of Credit occurring after the Applicable Termination Date and thereafter on demand. For the avoidance of doubt, the fronting fee shall accrue, and be due and


 
103 payable, on any Extended Letter of Credit notwithstanding its expiry being after the Applicable Termination Date. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Fronted Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the Applicable Issuing Party for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Applicable Issuing Party relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are non-refundable. 3.12 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 3.13 Extended Letters of Credit. If on the Applicable Termination Date with respect to any Letter of Credit such Letter of Credit remains outstanding, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding the occurrence of the Applicable Termination Date with respect to such Letter of Credit or the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder for any other reason, the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Issuing Party, the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders agree that: (a) the obligation of the L/C Issuers contained herein with respect to honoring draws under such Letter of Credit shall continue with respect to such Letter of Credit (in accordance with its terms) until the expiry of such Letter of Credit; (b) the obligations of the Borrower contained herein to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Applicable Issuing Party or any Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any drawings or any other L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit shall continue with respect to such Letter of Credit (in accordance with its terms) until the expiry of all Letters of Credit and the payment of all L/C Obligations; (c) if it has not done so already, the Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.15; (d) the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders contained herein to make available their respective Revolving Credit Percentages of any Unreimbursed Amount with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit, or to otherwise purchase participations in or reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any Unreimbursed Amounts, shall terminate with respect to such Letter of Credit upon the Applicable Termination Date with respect to such Fronted Letter of Credit if and to the extent the Borrower has provided Cash Collateral with respect to such Fronted Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.15, has delivered a backstop letter of credit to the applicable Issuing Lender with respect to such Fronted Letter of Credit or has otherwise provided credit support, in each case reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender; and (e) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.13(d), all provisions contained herein as are related to any Letter of Credit and any L/C Obligations (including provisions related to Cash Collateral and Defaulting Lenders, the occurrence of any Default, and the availability of all remedies and rights of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the L/C


 
104 Administrator and/or the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect thereto) shall continue in full force and effect until the expiry of all Letters of Credit and the repayment in full of all Obligations, without regard to the occurrence of the Applicable Termination Date with respect to such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.13, no Applicable Issuing Party shall, and no Applicable Issuing Party shall have any obligation to, issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit after the day that is five Business Days prior to the Applicable Termination Date with respect to such Letter of Credit, and no Letter of Credit may have an expiry date that is later than the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date. 3.14 Reporting. Not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Issuing Party shall agree), each Applicable Issuing Party shall provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such Applicable Issuing Party during such month. 3.15 Cash Collateral. The Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral (in an amount equal to 103% of the maximum face amount of each Extended Letter of Credit, calculated in accordance with Section 1.4) to the applicable L/C Issuer with respect to each Extended Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer by a date that is no later than the earlier to occur of the date any Letter of Credit constitutes an Extended Letter of Credit or the date that is five Business Days prior to the Applicable Termination Date with respect to each Extended Letter of Credit; provided that, if the Borrower fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any such Extended Letter of Credit by such time, such event shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to 103% of the maximum face amount of each such Letter of Credit, calculated in accordance with Section 1.4), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) in accordance with Section 3.3, with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Extended Letter of Credit.

Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any

(b) (i) No Loan Party has received written notice of the assertion of any material valid claim by anyone adverse to any such Loan Party’s ownership or leasehold rights in and to any Borrowing Base Property and (ii) no Person has an option or right of first refusal to purchase all or part of any Borrowing Base Property or any interest therein which has not been waived (except as disclosed in writing and approved by the Required Lenders). 4.9 Intellectual Property. Each of the Group Members owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the REIT or the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by the Group Members does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect. 4.10 Taxes.

There are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member or involving the operations of the Borrowing Base Properties pending or, to the knowledge of the REIT or the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Group Members and to employees of any Qualified Manager who are principally involved in the operations of any of the Borrowing Base Properties (the “Hotel Employees”) have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Group Members on account of employee health and welfare insurance, including payments in respect of the Hotel Employees, that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Group Members. 4.13 ERISA.

The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained


 
150 in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 9.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent.

In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.

Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and

If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. TheAny Co-Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as a Co-Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of thesuch Co-Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by thesuch Co-Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, such Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15 of this Agreement or Section 3.15 of the Guarantee Agreement. 9.11 The Arrangers; the Co-Syndication Agents; the Co-Documentation Agents. None of the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents or the Co-Documentation Agents, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person incur any liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 9.12 No Duty to Disclose. The Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the REIT, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents nor the Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the REIT, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates.


 
153 9.13 Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the REIT, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 9.14 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans or this Agreement, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing LenderL/C Issuer (and each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a Participation Amount) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing LenderL/C Issuer that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender or Issuing LenderL/C Issuer (any of the foregoing, a “Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Recipient (whether or not known to such Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made.

Each Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made. (c) Any Payment required to be returned by a Recipient under this Section shall be made in same day funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.


 
155 Each Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. (d) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds of the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that, approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

160 proposed use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by anythe Applicable Issuing LenderParty to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned, occupied or operated by the REIT, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by any third party or by the REIT, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”),; provided, that, neither the REIT nor the Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Revolving Credit Commitments. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the REIT, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender. (b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes


 
161 under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement,; provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and; provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. (c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of each Issuing Lender, the L/C Administrator and each Swing Line Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that, no such consent need be obtained by the Arrangers or the Administrative Agent, each in its capacity as a Lender), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders or the L/C Administrator or the Swing Line Lenders is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this


 
162 Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date); provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.6(b). In the event that Borrower fails to object by written notice within five Business Days after the receipt of a request to approve an assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c), the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. (d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent (solely for tax purposes) shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s interest in the Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans and other Obligations held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is


 
163 recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such interest in the Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans and other Obligations as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (x) in connection with an assignment by or to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or their Control Investment Affiliates or (y) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby. (f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC


 
164 any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that, non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment. (h) No such assignment shall be made to (i) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or, (ii) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or(iii) at any time there are Several Letters of Credit, to a Non-SLC Bank (unless such Non-SLC Bank shall have in effect a Limited Fronting Lender Agreement with a Revolving Credit Lender which is not a Non-SLC Bank) or (iv) any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clauses (ii) and (iii). (i) No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person). (j) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Administrator, each Issuing Lender, each Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. (k) At any time there are any Several Letters of Credit outstanding, concurrently with the effectiveness of such assignment the Several Letters of Credit then


 
165 outstanding shall be amended (with the consent of the beneficiary thereof) to (i) remove the assigning Lender’s liability thereunder, if any, as L/C Issuer and (ii) include the assignee Lender as an L/C Issuer thereunder with respect to its Commitment Share. 10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f) or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. (b) Subject to Sections 10.7(c) and (d), in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without prior notice to the REIT or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the REIT and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the REIT or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the REIT or the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender,; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. (c) Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of the Borrower or any other Group Member could result under certain laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Obligations. Each Lender hereby agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of the Borrower or any other Group Member held by such Lender without the prior written approval of the Required Lenders. (d) In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment,


 
166 shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the REIT, the Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Arrangers, any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 10.11 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the REIT and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the REIT or the Borrower, as the case may be at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;


 
167 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the L/C Administrator or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 10.13 Acknowledgments. Each of the REIT and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by and consulted with its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors (to the extent it deemed appropriate) in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (b) none of the Arrangers, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the REIT or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and the REIT and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; (c) it is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (d) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders or among the REIT, the Borrower and the Lenders. 10.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided that, nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arrangers, any Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, consultants, service providers and other professional advisors, (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar


 
168 proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document. 10.15 Release of Guarantee Obligations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as shall be required to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any incurrence of Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.2, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of the Person incurring such Indebtedness, to the extent necessary to permit the incurrence of such Indebtedness (and the granting of Liens to secure such Indebtedness) in accordance with the Loan Documents,; provided that, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate (i) certifying that, immediately prior to and after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) containing all information and calculations necessary, and taking into consideration such Indebtedness, for determining pro forma compliance with the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof and the Borrowing Base and (iii) with respect to any Borrowing Base Property, certifying that the conditions set forth for the release of such Borrowing Base Property in Section 5.4 have been satisfied. (c) [Intentionally omitted]. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations have been paid in full, all Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as shall be required to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 10.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrower and the


 
169 Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or, if applicable, the SEC, or a change in the Uniform System of Accounts. 10.17 Waivers of Jury Trial. THE REIT, THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. 10.18 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. 10.19 Effect of Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. On the 2018 Amendment Agreement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms its duties and


 
170 obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party. Each reference to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby. 10.20 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for a Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (i) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (ii) As used in this Section 10.20, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity”: any of the following: (a) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);


 
171 (b) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (c) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). 10.21 PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
