SECTION 1.02 Benchmark Calculations. The Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent do not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of, or any other matter related to “Base Rate”, “SOFR”, “Term SOFR” or the “Term SOFR Reference Rate”, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) any alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.04, whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and (iii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes, including without limitation, (A) whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as Base Rate, the existing Benchmark or any subsequent Replacement Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability (including Term SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or any other Benchmark), and (B) the impact or effect of such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate or Conforming Changes on any other financial products or agreements in effect or offered by or to the Co-Issuers, any Guarantor or Investor or any of their respective Affiliates).

Funding Agents, Program Support Providers or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate or any Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Co-Issuers.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, at no time will a Conduit Investor be obligated to make Advances hereunder. If at any time any Conduit Investor is not an Eligible Conduit Investor, such Conduit Investor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers) thereof.

(c) Each of the Advances to be made on any date shall be made as part of a single borrowing (each such single borrowing being a “Borrowing”). The Advances made as part of the initial Borrowing after the Series 2024-1 Closing Date, if any, will be evidenced by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes issued in connection herewith and will constitute purchases of Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Initial Advance Principal Amounts corresponding to the amount of such Advances. All of the other Advances will constitute Increases evidenced by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes issued in connection herewith and will constitute purchases of Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts corresponding to the amount of such Advances.

(d) Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement specifies the procedures to be followed in connection with any Voluntary Decrease of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount. Each such Voluntary Decrease in respect of any Advances shall be either (i) in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or (ii) such other amount necessary to reduce the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount to zero.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2024-1 Supplement, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances evidenced by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes may be increased by Borrowings or decreased by Voluntary Decreases and such other amounts that are paid on the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes pursuant to the Priority of Payments, in each case, from time to time.

(f) At any time that the aggregate Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount attributable to each Investor Group is not held pro rata based on its respective Commitment Percentage (as a result of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or otherwise), the Investor Groups (and the Investors within each such Investor Group) may, in their sole discretion, agree amongst themselves to reallocate any outstanding Advances to ensure that the aggregate Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount attributable to each Investor Group is pro rata based on its respective Commitment Percentage; provided that the Co-Issuers shall not be liable for any Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amounts resulting solely from any such reallocations.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Co-Issuers, the Managers and the Trustee timely notice of non-ratable allocations pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and of any reallocations of Advances pursuant to Section 2.02(f) (which notice requirements may be satisfied through the delivery of the monthly invoice and Letter of Credit report delivered by the Administrative Agent from time to time); provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Agreement or the Indenture with respect thereto. The Co-Issuers and the Managers shall not be responsible for any failure to reflect such allocations or reallocations in any Weekly Manager’s Certificate or Quarterly Noteholders’ Report, or for any payments inconsistent with such allocations or reallocations, until such notice is provided as set forth in this clause (g), including in connection with any Mandatory Decrease, Voluntary Decrease or prepayment of any other tranche, Class or Series of Notes under the Indenture.

(h) It is agreed that any Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amounts shall occur with respect to the applicable Advance or Swingline Loan closest to maturity.

SECTION 2.03 Borrowing Procedures.

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

of any SOFR Advances for purposes of Section 3.01(b), two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days) prior to the date of such Borrowing (unless a shorter period is agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Funding Agents, as applicable), which date of Borrowing shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the Co-Issuer making such Borrowing, (ii) the Borrowing date, (iii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing to be made on such date, (iv) at the election of the Co-Issuer making such Borrowing, the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings (if applicable) to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, which amount shall constitute all outstanding Swingline Loans and/or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings outstanding on the date of such notice that are not prepaid with other funds of the Co-Issuers available for such purpose, and (v) sufficient instructions for application of the balance, if any, of the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date (which proceeds shall be made available to the Co-Issuer making such Borrowing). Requests for any (x) Base Rate Advance may not be made in an aggregate principal amount of less than $250,000 or in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or in each case such other amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and (y) SOFR Advance may not be made in an aggregate principal amount of less than $500,000 or in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or in each case such other amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), in each case except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Borrowings for the purpose of repaying then-outstanding Swingline Loans or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings. Subject to the provisos to Section 2.02(a), each Borrowing shall be ratably allocated among the Investor Groups’ respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts. Each Funding Agent shall promptly advise its related Conduit Investor, if any, of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) and shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of Borrowing) notify the Administrative Agent, the Co-Issuers and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) whether such Conduit Investor has determined to make all or any portion of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by its Investor Group. On the date of each Borrowing and subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2024-1 Supplement (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, confirmation from the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider, as applicable, as to (x) the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, (y) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (z) the principal amount of any other Swingline Loans or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings then outstanding), the applicable Investors in each Investor Group shall make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by such Investor Group by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars of such amount in same day funds no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion on the date of any Borrowing) on the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), first, if applicable, and at the election of the Co-Issuer making such Borrowing, to the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and/or, second, to the Co-Issuer making such Borrowing, as instructed in the applicable Advance Request.

(b) (i) The failure of any Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Committed Note Purchaser (whether or not in the same Investor Group) of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Committed Note Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by such other Committed Note Purchaser on the date of any Borrowing and (ii) in the event that one or more Committed Note Purchasers fails to make its Advance by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion on the date of any Borrowing) on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the other Committed Note Purchasers not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, and each of the other Committed Note Purchasers may (but shall not be obligated to) make available to the Administrative Agent a supplemental Advance in a principal amount (such amount, the “reference

amount”) equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal Advance that was unfunded multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Commitment Amount of such Committed Note Purchaser and the denominator of which is the aggregate Commitment Amounts of all Committed Note Purchasers (less the aggregate Commitment Amount of the Committed Note Purchasers failing to make Advances on such date) and (b) the excess of (i) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount over (ii) the product of such Committed Note Purchaser’s related Investor Group Principal Amount multiplied by such Committed Note Purchaser’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage (after giving effect to all prior Advances on such date of Borrowing) (provided that a Committed Note Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to), on terms and conditions to be agreed upon by such Committed Note Purchaser and the applicable Co-Issuer, make available to the Administrative Agent a supplemental Advance in a principal amount in excess of the reference amount; provided, however, that no such supplemental Advance shall be permitted to be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount). Such supplemental Advances shall be made by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars in same day funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day following the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall immediately make such proceeds available, first, if applicable and at the election of the Co-Issuer making such Borrowing, to the Swingline Lender and/or the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and, second, to the Co-Issuer making such Borrowing, as instructed in the applicable Advance Request. If any Committed Note Purchaser which shall have so failed to fund its Advance shall subsequently pay such amount, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amount pro rata to repay any supplemental Advances made by the other Committed Note Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.03(b).

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the date of any Borrowing that an applicable Investor in the related Investor Group will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Investor’s share of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group as part of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Investor has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider and/or the applicable Co-Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount, and shall, if such corresponding amount has not been made available by the Administrative Agent, make available to the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider and/or the applicable Co-Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount once such Investor has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that any Investor shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Investor and the Co-Issuers jointly and severally agree to repay (without duplication) to the Administrative Agent on the next Weekly Allocation Date such corresponding amount (in the case of the Co-Issuers, in accordance with the Priority of Payments), together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Co-Issuer until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Co-Issuers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Investor, the Federal Funds Rate and without deduction by such Investor for any withholding taxes. If such Investor shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Investor’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.04 The Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes. On each date an Advance or Swingline Loan is made or a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder, and on each date the outstanding amount thereof is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the related Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Noteholder shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount, evidenced by the related Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Note, Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note or Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Note, of such Advance, Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, as applicable, and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The Co-Issuers hereby authorize each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Noteholder to make such notations on the books and records as

aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Noteholder and the records maintained by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, (x) such discrepancy shall be resolved by such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Noteholder, the Control Party and the Trustee, in consultation with the Co-Issuers (provided that such consultation with the Co-Issuers will not in any way limit or delay such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Noteholders’, the Control Party’s and the Trustee’s ability to resolve such discrepancy), and such resolution shall control in the absence of manifest error and the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Register shall be corrected as appropriate and (y) until any such discrepancy is resolved pursuant to clause (x), the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Register shall control; provided, further, that the failure of any such notation to be made, or any finding that a notation is incorrect, in any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Agreement or the Indenture.

SECTION 2.05 Reduction in Commitments.

(a) The Co-Issuers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Control Party, each Funding Agent and each Investor), effect a permanent reduction in the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Commitment Amount and Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis; provided that (i) any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Commitments, although any such reduction may be combined with a Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement, (ii) any such reduction must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount is reduced to zero, (iii) after giving effect to such reduction, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount equals or exceeds $5,000,000, unless reduced to zero, and (iv) no such reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount (excluding any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts with respect to which cash collateral is held by the L/C Provider pursuant to Section 4.03(b)) or (y) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the sum of the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be made ratably among the Investor Groups on the basis of their respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts.

(b) If any of the following events shall occur, then the Commitment Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced on the dates and in the amounts set forth below with respect to the applicable event and the other consequences set forth below with respect to the applicable event shall ensue (and the Co-Issuers shall give the Trustee, the Control Party, each Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent prompt written notice thereof):

(i) if the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes has not been paid in full or otherwise refinanced in full (which refinancing may also include an extension thereof) by the Business Day immediately preceding the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date, (A) on such Business Day, (x) the principal amount of all then-outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances made on such date (and the applicable Co-Issuer shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made), and (y) the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment shall both be automatically and permanently reduced to zero and (B) (x) all undrawn portions of the Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate and the corresponding portions of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced by a corresponding amount (with respect to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts, on a pro rata basis) and (y) each payment of principal on the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount occurring on or following such Business Day shall result automatically and permanently in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis;

(ii) if a Rapid Amortization Event occurs and is continuing (other than a Rapid Amortization Event triggered by an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing and as a result of which the payment of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes is accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture) (and shall not have been waived, or, in the case of clause (d) of the definition thereof, cured pursuant to Section 3.6(b) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement or any similar provision in any other applicable Series Supplement) prior to the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date, then (A) on the date such Rapid Amortization Event occurs, all undrawn portions of the Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate, which termination shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following the making of Advances pursuant to clause (B) below, and the corresponding portions of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced by a corresponding amount (with respect to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts, on a pro rata basis), (B) no later than the second Business Day after the occurrence of such Rapid Amortization Event, the principal amount of all then-outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances (and the applicable Co-Issuer shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made) and the Swingline Commitment shall be automatically reduced to zero and the L/C Commitment shall be automatically reduced by the unused portion thereof and such amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings repaid by such Advances; and (C) each payment of principal (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) on the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount occurring on or after the date of such Rapid Amortization Event (excluding the repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loans and Unreimbursed L/C Drawings with proceeds of Advances pursuant to clause (B) above) shall result automatically and permanently in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis; provided that, in each case, if any Rapid Amortization Event occurring solely under (1) clause (a) of the definition thereof shall cease to be in effect as a result of being waived in accordance with the Base Indenture or (2) clause (d) of the definition thereof shall cease to be in effect as a result of being cured in accordance with the terms of Section 3.6(b) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement or any similar provision in any other applicable Series Supplement with respect to each Series of Notes at issue, then in either such case the Commitments, Swingline Commitment, L/C Commitment, Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be restored to the amounts in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of such Rapid Amortization Event;

(iii) [Intentionally omitted];

(iv) if payments in connection with Indemnification Amounts, Release Prices, Asset Disposition Proceeds or Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are allocated to and deposited in the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.6(j) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement at a time when either (i) no Senior Notes other than Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes are Outstanding or (ii) if the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes has not been paid in full or otherwise refinanced in full (which refinancing may also include an extension thereof) by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date and such event is continuing, then (x) the aggregate Commitment Amount shall be automatically and permanently reduced on the date of such deposit by an amount (the “Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount”) equal to the amount of such deposit, and each Committed Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount shall be reduced on a pro rata basis of such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount based on each Committed Note Purchaser’s

Commitment Amount, (y) the corresponding portions of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced on a pro rata basis based on each Investor Group’s Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount by a corresponding amount on such date (and, if after giving effect to such reduction the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the sum of the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment, then the aggregate amount of the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of such difference, with such reduction to be allocated between them in accordance with the written instructions of the Co-Issuers delivered prior to such date; provided that after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans and the L/C Obligations do not exceed the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment, respectively, as so reduced; provided, further, that in the absence of such instructions, such reduction shall be allocated first to the Swingline Commitment and then to the L/C Commitment) and (z) the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount shall be repaid or prepaid (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) in an aggregate amount equal to such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount on the date and in the order required by Section 3.6(j) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement; and

(v) if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (and shall not have been waived in accordance with the Base Indenture) and as a result the payment of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes is accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture (and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded in accordance with the Base Indenture), then the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount, the Commitment Amounts, the Swingline Commitment, the L/C Commitment and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall all be automatically and permanently reduced to zero upon such acceleration and the Co-Issuers shall (in accordance with the Series 2024-1 Supplement) cause the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount to be paid in full (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) together with accrued interest, Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Commitment Fees Amounts payable pursuant to the Series 2024-1 Supplement, amounts payable as “Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts” pursuant to the Series 2024-1 Supplement (“Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts”) and all other amounts then due and payable to the Lender Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any unreimbursed Debt Service Advance, Collateral Protection Advance and Manager Advance (in each case, with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate) subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

SECTION 2.06 Swingline Commitment.

(a) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Co-Issuers shall issue and shall cause the Trustee to authenticate (in the case of Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes in the form of definitive notes) the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note, which the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Swingline Lender on the Series 2024-1 Closing Date, or register as described in Section 4.1(f) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement (in the case of Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes in the form of Uncertificated Notes) the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note. Such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note shall be dated the Series 2024-1 Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the Swingline Lender or its nominee, or in such other name as the Swingline Lender may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the Swingline Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to $0, and shall be duly authenticated (in the case of Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes in the form of definitive notes) in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or registered as described in Section 4.1(f) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement (in the case of Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes in the form of Uncertificated Notes). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in this Section 2.06, agrees to make

swingline loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” or a “Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans” or the “Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Loans”) to the Co-Issuers from time to time during the period commencing on the Series 2024-1 Closing Date and ending on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that the Swingline Lender shall have no obligation or right to make any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding would exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Advances hereunder, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) or (ii) the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount. Each such Borrowing of a Swingline Loan will constitute a Subfacility Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note in an amount corresponding to such Borrowing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2024-1 Supplement, the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note may be increased by Borrowings of Swingline Loans or decreased by payments of principal thereon from time to time.

(b) Whenever a Co-Issuer desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans, such Co-Issuer shall (or shall cause the applicable Manager on its behalf to) give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in writing not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed borrowing date, specifying (i) the Co-Issuer requesting such Swingline Loan, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested borrowing date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term not later than the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date) and (iv) the payment instructions for the proceeds of such borrowing (which shall be consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture and which proceeds shall be made available to such Co-Issuer). Such notice shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 hereto (a “Swingline Loan Request”). Promptly upon receipt of any Swingline Loan Request (but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such receipt), the Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Control Party and the Trustee thereof in writing. Each Borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in a minimum amount equal to $100,000. Promptly upon receipt of any Swingline Loan Request (but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such receipt), the Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement) will inform the Swingline Lender whether or not, after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loan, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount. If the Administrative Agent confirms that the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loan, then not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the borrowing date specified in the Swingline Loan Request, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2024-1 Supplement, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the applicable Co-Issuer in accordance with the payment instructions set forth in such notice an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the requested Swingline Loan.

(c) The Co-Issuers hereby agree that each Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Co-Issuers or either Co-Issuer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall constitute the promise and obligation of the Co-Issuers to pay to the Swingline Lender the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(a), which amounts shall be due and payable (whether at maturity or by acceleration) as set forth in this Agreement and in the Indenture for the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount.

(d) In accordance with, and without limitation of, Section 2.03(a), the Co-Issuers agree to cause requests for Borrowings to be made at least one time per month, for each month any Swingline Loans are outstanding for at least ten (10) Business Days during such month, if any Swingline Loans are outstanding, in amounts at least sufficient to repay in full all such Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of the applicable request. In accordance with Section 3.01(c), outstanding Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate.

(e) [Intentionally omitted.]

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

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

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

(i) The Co-Issuers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, effect a permanent reduction in the Swingline Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Swingline Commitment. If requested by the Co-Issuers in writing and with the prior written consent of the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the Swingline Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of each of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount, the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

(j) The Co-Issuers may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender (who shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee thereof in writing), at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the prepayment, (y) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or in each case such other amount as agreed by the Administrative Agent) or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and (z) if the source

of funds for such prepayment is not a Borrowing, there shall be no unreimbursed Debt Service Advance, Collateral Protection Advance or Manager Advance (or interest thereon) at such time. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the Co-Issuers shall make such prepayment directly to the Swingline Lender and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

SECTION 2.07 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Provider (or its permitted assigns pursuant to Section 9.17), in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.09, agrees to provide standby letters of credit, including Interest Reserve Letters of Credit (each, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of either or both of the Co-Issuers on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Series 2024-1 Closing Date and ending on the date that is ten Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date to be issued in accordance with Section 2.07(h) in such form as may be approved from time to time by the L/C Provider; provided that the L/C Provider shall have no obligation or right to provide any Letter of Credit on a requested issuance date if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount or (iii) the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount attributable to the L/C Provider (in its capacity as Committed Note Purchaser and L/C Provider) would exceed its Commitment Amount (an “LC Commitment Excess”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a requested Letter of Credit would result in an LC Commitment Excess, the Investor Groups shall effectuate a reallocation of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts to the extent necessary and permitted so that, immediately after such requested Letter of Credit is issued, no LC Commitment Excess would exist; provided that the Co-Issuers shall not be liable for any Breakage Amounts resulting solely from any such reallocations.

Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars, (y) have a face amount of at least $100,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the L/C Provider, together with a reasonable administrative fee to be agreed upon by the Co-Issuers and the L/C Provider) and (z) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (B) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Required Expiration Date”); provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods, each individually not to exceed one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the Required Expiration Date) unless the L/C Provider notifies each beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the then-applicable expiration date (or no later than the applicable notice date, if earlier, as specified in such Letter of Credit) that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed; provided, further, that any Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is later than the Required Expiration Date so long as either (x) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit has been fully cash collateralized by the Co-Issuers in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03 as of the Required Expiration Date and there are no other outstanding L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit as of the Required Expiration Date or (y) other than with respect to Interest Reserve Letters of Credit, arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Provider in its sole and absolute discretion have been made with the L/C Provider (and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 4.04 such that such Letter of Credit shall cease to be deemed outstanding or to be deemed a “Letter of Credit” for purposes of this Agreement as of the Commitment Termination Date.

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

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

(b) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Co-Issuers shall issue and shall cause the Trustee to authenticate the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes, which the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the L/C Provider on the Series 2024-1 Closing Date; provided that, if such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Note is an Uncertificated Note, the Trustee shall instead register it as described in Section 4.1(f) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement. Such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Note is dated the Series 2024-1 Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the L/C Provider or in such other name or nominee as the L/C Provider may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the L/C Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Initial Aggregate Undrawn L/C Face Amount, and (unless it is an Uncertificated Note) shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit after the Series 2024-1 Closing Date will constitute an Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Note in an amount corresponding to the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of such Letter of Credit. All L/C Obligations (whether in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings) shall be deemed to be principal outstanding under the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and shall be deemed to be Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts for all purposes of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents other than, in the case of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts, for purposes of accrual of interest. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2024-1 Supplement, each issuance of a Letter of Credit will constitute a Subfacility Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and the expiration of any Letter of Credit or reimbursements of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings thereunder or other circumstances resulting in the permanent reduction in any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts from time to time will constitute a Subfacility Decrease in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Note. The L/C Provider and the Co-Issuers agree to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee of any such decreases for which notice to the Administrative Agent is not otherwise provided hereunder.

(c) Each Co-Issuer (or both Co-Issuers) may (or shall cause the applicable Manager (or both Managers) on its (or their) behalf to) from time to time request that the L/C Provider provide a new Letter of Credit by delivering to the L/C Provider at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor (in the form required by the applicable L/C Issuing Bank as notified to the Co-Issuers by the L/C Provider), completed to the satisfaction of the L/C Provider, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the L/C Provider may reasonably request on behalf of the L/C Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, each letter of credit set forth on Schedule IV hereto shall be deemed a Letter of Credit provided and issued by the L/C Provider hereunder as of the Series 2024-1 Closing Date. Upon receipt of any completed Application, the L/C Provider will notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee in writing of the amount, the beneficiary or beneficiaries and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall comply with Section 2.07(a) and (i)) and, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2024-1 Supplement and upon receipt of written confirmation from the Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement) that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount (provided that the L/C Provider shall be entitled to rely upon any written statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and

correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons of the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining whether the L/C Provider received such prior written confirmation from the Administrative Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit), the L/C Provider will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered in connection therewith to be processed in accordance with the L/C Issuing Bank’s customary procedures and shall promptly provide the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the L/C Provider be required to provide any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto, as provided in Section 2.07(a)) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the L/C Provider and the applicable Co-Issuer (or the Co-Issuers). The L/C Provider shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Managers and the Co-Issuers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The L/C Provider shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Funding Agents, the Investors, the Control Party and the Trustee, written notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(d) The Co-Issuers shall pay to the L/C Provider the L/C Quarterly Fees (as defined in the applicable Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter, the “L/C Quarterly Fees”) in accordance with the terms of such Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter and in accordance with and subject to the Priority of Payments.

(e) [Reserved].

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

(g) The Co-Issuers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, effect a permanent reduction in the L/C Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the L/C Commitment. If requested by the Co-Issuers in writing and with the prior written consent of the L/C Provider and the Administrative Agent, the L/C Provider may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the L/C Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of each of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts, the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate Commitment Amounts.

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

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

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

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

(k) For the avoidance of doubt, the L/C Commitment shall be a sub-facility limit of the Commitment Amounts and aggregate outstanding L/C Obligations as of any date of determination shall be a component of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount on such date of determination, pursuant to the definition thereof.

(l) If, on the date that is ten Business Days prior to the expiration of any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit has not been replaced or renewed and the Co-Issuers have not otherwise deposited funds into the applicable Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the applicable Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, in the amounts that would otherwise be required pursuant to the Indenture had such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit not been issued, the Co-Issuers shall instruct the Control Party to submit a notice of drawing under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit and use the proceeds thereof to fund a deposit into the applicable Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the applicable Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, in an amount equal to the applicable Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount or the applicable Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount, as applicable, on such date, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit had not been issued.

(m) If, on any day an Interest Reserve Letter of Credit is outstanding, (i) the short-term debt credit rating of the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit is withdrawn by S&P or downgraded below “A-2” (or then equivalent grade) or (ii) the long-term debt credit rating of such L/C Issuing Bank is withdrawn by S&P or downgraded below “BBB” (or then equivalent grade) (each of cases (i) and (ii), an “L/C Downgrade Event”), on the fifth Business Day after the occurrence of such L/C Downgrade Event, the Co-Issuers shall instruct the Control Party to submit a notice of drawing under each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuing Bank and use the proceeds thereof to fund a deposit into the applicable Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the applicable Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, in an amount equal to the applicable Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount or the applicable Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount, as applicable, on such date, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter(s) of Credit had not been issued.

(n) The Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (including all drawings thereunder) shall be subject to Section 5.17 of the Base Indenture in all respects.

.SECTION 2.08 L/C Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) For the purpose of reimbursing the payment of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the Co-Issuers agree to pay the L/C Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, not later than five (5) Business Days after the day on which the L/C Provider notifies the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent (and in each case the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day as its receipt of the same, notify the Funding Agents) of the date and the amount of such draft, an amount in Dollars equal to the sum of (i) the amount of such draft so paid (such amount at any time, as reduced by repayments with respect thereto as described below and amounts repaid with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(b) at or prior to such time, the “L/C Reimbursement Amount”) and (ii) any Non-Excluded Taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses, including amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02(c) (such amounts at any time, as reduced by repayments with respect thereto as described below and amounts repaid with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(b) at or prior to such time, the “L/C Other Reimbursement Costs”) incurred by the L/C Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amounts and outstanding L/C Other Reimbursement Costs may be repaid in accordance with the Priority of Payments, with the proceeds of any Advance or otherwise. Unless the entire outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect thereto has been repaid as set forth above, each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Co-Issuers or any Guarantor, in which cases the procedures specified in Section 2.09 for funding by Committed Note Purchasers shall apply) constitute a request by the Co-Issuers to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent for a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of the outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amount at such time, and the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have made such request pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The applicable L/C Other Reimbursement Costs minus, without duplication, any such amounts repaid pursuant to Section 4.03(b), shall be paid as Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. In the event such request for a Base Rate Advance is deemed to have been given, the applicable Investors in each Investor Group hereby agree to make Advances in an aggregate amount for each Investor Group equal to such Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amount at such time and outstanding L/C Other Reimbursement Costs at such time to pay the L/C Provider. The Borrowing date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the first date on which a Base Rate Advance could be made pursuant to Section 2.03 if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such Borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the L/C Provider of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Borrowing date and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the L/C Provider for application to the reimbursement of such drawing.

(b) The Co-Issuers’ obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Co-Issuers may have or have had against the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (iii) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of any jurisdictions or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.08(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Co-Issuers’ obligations hereunder. The Co-Issuers also agree that the L/C Provider and the L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Co-Issuers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged,

or any dispute between or among the Co-Issuers 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 Co-Issuers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the L/C Provider nor the L/C Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Co-Issuers to the extent permitted by applicable law) caused by errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Co-Issuers agree that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Co-Issuers and shall not result in any liability of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank to the Co-Issuers. As between the Co-Issuers and the L/C Issuing Bank, the Co-Issuers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such beneficiary’s or transferee’s use of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Co-Issuers agree with the L/C Issuing Bank that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In connection with each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, the Trustee as beneficiary shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Base Indenture limiting the liability of or affording rights, benefits, protections, immunities or indemnities to the Trustee as if they were expressly set forth herein mutatis mutandis.

(c) If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit for which the L/C Provider has Actual Knowledge, the L/C Provider shall promptly notify the Managers, the Control Party, the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank to the Co-Issuers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit and, in paying such draft, such L/C Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person(s) executing or delivering any such document.

SECTION 2.09 L/C Participations.

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

which the L/C Provider (on its behalf and on behalf of each L/C Issuing Bank) is not paid in full by the Co-Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of the L/C Provider an amount equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so paid.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider pursuant to Section 2.09(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made or reimbursed by the L/C Provider under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Provider, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.09(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider by such Committed Note Purchaser within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the L/C Provider shall be entitled to recover from such Committed Note Purchaser, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Base Rate. A certificate of the L/C Provider submitted to any Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.09(b), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on such Committed Note Purchaser. Such amounts payable under this Section 2.09(b) shall be paid without any deduction for any withholding taxes.

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

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

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Co-Issuers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.04(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Investor (or group of Investors) pursuant to this Section 3.04, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.04.

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

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

(f) In connection with the use, administration of, or conventions associated with, Term SOFR and the Term SOFR Reference Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

representative or non-compliant with or non-aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks; provided that such non-representativeness, non-compliance or non-alignment will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(c) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or under a Program Support Agreement or the Advances, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit made or issued by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person (or in the case of an L/C Issuing Bank, by the L/C Provider) to the related Funding Agent and the Co-Issuers (or, in the case of the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, to the Co-Issuers), the Co-Issuers shall deposit into the applicable Collection Account within ten (10) Business Days of the Co-Issuers’ receipt of such notice, to be payable as Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent (or, in the case of the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, directly to such Person) and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person, such amounts (“Increased Capital Costs”) as will be sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Co-Issuers under this Section 3.07 the Co-Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such notice; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such Increased Capital Costs is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Co-Issuers. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, guidelines or directives issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted subsequent to the date hereof.

SECTION 3.08 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise required by law, all payments by the Co-Issuers of principal of, and interest on, the Advances, the Swingline Loans and the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges in the nature of a tax imposed by any taxing authority including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, fees, duties, withholdings and other charges, and including all interest, penalties or

additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto, being called “Class A-1 Taxes”), but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (i) net income, franchise (imposed in lieu of net income) or similar Class A-1 Taxes (and including branch profits or alternative minimum Class A-1 Taxes) and any other Class A-1 Taxes imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), (ii) with respect to any Affected Person organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office located in a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state of the United States (a “Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Co-Issuers with respect to withholding tax, (iii) any taxes imposed under FATCA, (iv) any backup withholding tax, (v) any Class A-1 Taxes imposed as a result of such Affected Person’s failure to comply with Section 3.08(d) and (vi) any Canadian withholding Taxes imposed on a payment to an Affected Person by reason of such Affected Person or the beneficial owner of such payment, at any relevant time (A) not dealing at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) with the Canadian Co-Issuer or (B) being a “specified shareholder” of the Canadian Co-Issuer (as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) or not dealing at arm’s length with a specified shareholder of the Canadian Co-Issuer or (C) being a “specified entity” (as defined in subsection 18.4(l) of the Income Tax Act) in respect of the Canadian Co-Issuer, except in the case of (A) through (C) where (x) the non-arm’s length relationship, (y) such Affected Person or beneficial owner being a “specified non-resident shareholder” of the Canadian Co-Issuer or dealing at arm’s length with a “specified shareholder” of the Canadian Co-Issuer, or (z) such Affected Person or beneficial owner being a “specified entity” in respect of the Canadian Co-Issuer, as applicable, arises solely as a result of such Affected Person or beneficial owner having become a party to, received or perfected a security interest under or received or enforced any rights under, any Transaction Document) (such Class A-1 Taxes not excluded by clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Class A-1 Taxes are imposed and required by law to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Co-Issuers hereunder to an Affected Person, then (x) if such Class A-1 Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of the payment shall be increased so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount equal to the sum that would have been received by the Affected Person had no such deduction or withholding been required and (y) the Co-Issuers shall withhold the amount of such Class A-1 Taxes from such payment (as increased, if applicable, pursuant to the preceding clause (x)) and shall pay such amount, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the taxing authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Moreover, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person or its agent with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from the Co-Issuers or otherwise in respect of any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated therein, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Co-Issuers will, within five (5) Business Days of the Co-Issuers’ receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), deposit into the applicable Collection Account, to be distributed as Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Funding Agent (or, in the case such Affected Person is the Swingline Lender or the L/C Provider, directly to such Person) and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person, such additional amounts (collectively, “Increased Tax Costs,” which term shall include all amounts payable by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers pursuant to this Section 3.08) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person or agent after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes on such Increased Tax Costs) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been asserted. Any amount payable to an Affected Person under this

Section 3.08 shall be reduced by, and Increased Tax Costs shall not include, the amount of incremental damages (including Class A-1 Taxes) due or payable by the Co-Issuers as a direct result of such Affected Person’s failure to demand from the Co-Issuers additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08 within 180 days from the date on which the related Non-Excluded Taxes were incurred.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Class A-1 Taxes, and in any event within thirty (30) days of any such payment being due, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to each applicable Affected Person or its agents a certified copy of an official receipt (or other documentary evidence satisfactory to such Affected Person and agents) evidencing the payment of such Class A-1 Taxes. If the Co-Issuers fail to pay any Class A-1 Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Affected Persons or their agents the required receipts (or such other documentary evidence), the Co-Issuers shall indemnify (by depositing such amounts into the applicable Collection Account, to be distributed subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments) each Affected Person and its agents for any Non-Excluded Taxes that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agents as a result of any such failure.

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

(e) If a payment made to an Affected Person pursuant to this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person 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 Affected Person shall deliver to the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Co-Issuers 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 Co-Issuers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Affected Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Prior to the Series 2024-1 Closing Date, the Administrative Agent will provide the Issuer with a properly executed and completed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or W-9, as appropriate.

(g) If an Affected Person determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.08 or as to which it has been paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08, it shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers and the Managers in writing of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a written request from the Co-Issuers, pay over such refund to the Co-Issuers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid to such Affected Person under this Section 3.08 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including the net amount of Class A-1 Taxes, if any, imposed on or with respect to such refund or payment) of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority that is directly attributable to such refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes); provided that the Co-Issuers, immediately upon the request of the Affected Person (which request shall include a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount to be repaid), agree to repay the amount of the refund (and any applicable interest) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such amount) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person or any other Person is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. This Section 3.08 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Class A-1 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Co-Issuers or any other Person.

(h) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Co-Issuers or the Administrative Agent or other withholding agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Class A-1 Taxes from payments made to or for the account of any Affected Person, then to the extent such improper withholding or backup withholding was directly caused by such Affected Person’s actions or inactions, such Affected Person shall indemnify the Co-Issuers, Trustee and the Administrative Agent for any Class A-1 Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.08, and costs and expenses (including attorney costs) of the Co-Issuers, Trustee and the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Affected Persons, severally, under this Section 3.08 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Affected Person or the termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(i) The Administrative Agent, Trustee or any other withholding agent may deduct and withhold any Class A-1 Taxes required by any laws to be deducted and withheld from any payments.

SECTION 3.09 Change of Lending Office. Each Committed Note Purchaser agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.05 or 3.07 or the payment of additional amounts to it under Section 3.08(a) or (b) with respect to such Committed Note Purchaser, it will, if requested by the Co-Issuers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Committed Note Purchaser) to designate another lending office for any Advances 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 Committed Note Purchaser, cause such Committed Note Purchaser and its lending office(s) or its related Conduit Investor to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.09 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Co-Issuers or the rights of any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.05, 3.07 and 3.08. If a Committed Note Purchaser notifies the Co-Issuers in writing that such Committed Note Purchaser will be unable to designate another lending office, the Co-Issuers may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Committed Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Administrative Agent designating one or more

Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Co-Issuers (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise).

SECTION 3.10 Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 3.04, if, on or prior to the first day of any SOFR Interest Accrual Period for any SOFR Advance the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Co-Issuers and each Investor. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Co-Issuers, any obligation of the Investors to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Co-Issuers to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Base Rate Advances to SOFR Advances, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected SOFR Interest Accrual Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Co-Issuers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected SOFR Interest Accrual Periods) or, failing that, the Co-Issuers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the applicable SOFR Interest Accrual Period. Subject to Section 3.04, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Advances shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (b)(iii) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

SECTION 5.15 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies an Investor or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party (any such Lender Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that such Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from such Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of such Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of such Administrative Agent, and such Lender Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to such Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to such Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

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

(ii) such Lender Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the applicable Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying such Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.15(b).

(c) Each Lender Party hereby authorizes each Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by such Administrative Agent to such Lender Party from any source, against any amount due to such Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the applicable Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by such Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender Party that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon such Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender Party shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as such Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by such Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Co-Issuers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a platform as to which such Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) such Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, such Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender Party shall become a Lender Party, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender Party shall cease to be a Lender Party hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender Party and (iv) such Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment

Deficiency Assignment. Each Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender Party shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and such Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender Party (and against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender Party and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that such Administrative Agent has sold an Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether such Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, such Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender Party under the Transaction Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Co-Issuers or Guarantors, except, in each case, to the extent (i) such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the applicable Administrative Agent from the Master Issuer or any Guarantor for the purpose of paying any Obligations and (ii) such Erroneous Payment is not otherwise returned to the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor.

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

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 5.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 9.01 Amendments. No amendment to or waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure therefrom by the Managers or the Co-Issuers, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Co-Issuers with the written consent of (A) the Administrative Agent and (B) other than in respect of amendments pursuant to Section 3.04, the Required Investor Groups; provided, however, that, in addition, (i) the prior written consent of each affected Investor shall be required in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver that (x) increases the amount of the Commitment of such Investor, extends the Commitment Termination Date or the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date for such Investor, modifies the conditions to funding the Commitment or otherwise subjects such Investor to any increased or additional duties or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith (it being understood and agreed that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender Party), (y) reduces the amount or delays the timing of payment of any principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Investor hereunder or (z) would have an effect comparable to any of those set forth in Section 13.2(a) of the Base Indenture that require the consent of each Noteholder or each affected Noteholder; (ii) any amendment, modification or waiver that affects the rights or duties of any of the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider, the Administrative Agent or the Funding Agents shall require the prior written consent of such affected Person; and (iii) the prior written consent of each Investor, the Swingline Lender, the L/C Provider, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent shall be required in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of this Section 9.01. For purposes of any provision of any other Indenture Document relating to any vote, consent, direction or the like to be given by the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Noteholders, such vote, consent, direction or the like shall be given by the Holders of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes only and not by the Holders of any Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes or Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes except to the extent that such vote, consent, direction or the like is to be given by each affected Noteholder and the Holders of any Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Notes or Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes would be affected thereby. In addition, the provisions of Section 6.01(k) may not be amended or waived without confirmation from S&P that the rating of the commercial paper notes of each Conduit Investor then rated by it will not be reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof. Each Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Noteholder hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to consent to any amendment pursuant to Section 3.04.

Each Committed Note Purchaser will notify the Co-Issuers in writing whether or not it will consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement and, if applicable, any condition to such consent, waiver or other modification. If a Committed Note Purchaser notifies the Co-Issuers in writing that such Committed Note Purchaser either (I) will not consent to an amendment to or waiver or

other modification of any provision of this Agreement or (II) conditions its consent to such an amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement upon the payment of an amendment fee, the Co-Issuers may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Committed Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Co-Issuers (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). In addition, notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.05, the Co-Issuers may also effect a permanent reduction in the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in the Commitment Amount solely of such Committed Note Purchaser and Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount solely of such Investor Group on a non-ratable basis; provided that (i) any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of such Commitments, although any such reduction may be combined with a Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2024-1 Supplement, applied solely with respect to such Committed Note Purchaser and such Investor Group.

The Co-Issuers and the Lender Parties shall negotiate any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents that require the consent of the Lender Parties in good faith, and any consent required to be given by the Lender Parties shall not be unreasonably denied, conditioned or delayed. Pursuant to Section 9.05(a), the Lender Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Co-Issuers for the reasonable expenses incurred by the Lender Parties in reviewing and approving any such amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification to this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

SECTION 9.02 No Waiver; Remedies. Any waiver, consent or approval given by any party hereto shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and no waiver by a party of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default. No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder, or any abandonment or discontinuation of steps to enforce the right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.03 Binding on Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Co-Issuers, the Managers, the Lender Parties, the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Co-Issuers nor the Managers may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise other than in connection with a merger between Securitization Entities permitted by the Transaction Documents) without the prior written consent of each Lender Party (other than any Defaulting Investor); provided, further, that nothing herein shall prevent the Co-Issuers from assigning their rights (but none of their duties or liabilities) to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and the

Series 2024-1 Supplement; and provided, further that none of the Lender Parties may transfer, pledge, assign, sell participations in or otherwise encumber its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein except as permitted under Section 6.03, Section 9.17 and this Section 9.03. Nothing expressed herein is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the Persons referred to in the preceding sentence any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement except as provided in Section 9.16.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Investor may at any time grant to one or more Program Support Providers a participating interest in or lien on such Investor’s interests in the Advances made hereunder and such Program Support Provider, with respect to its participating interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Investor under this Agreement. Each Investor that grants to one or more Persons, including, without limitation, a Program Support Providers or Conduit Investor a participating interest in such Investor’s interests in the Advances shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Co-Issuers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of such Person and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Person’s interest in the Advances (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Investor shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Person, or any information relating to a Person’s interest in the Advances) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (and any such successor United States Treasury Regulations). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Investor shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

SECTION 9.09 Tax Characterization(a) .

SECTION 9.10 No Proceedings; Limited Recourse.

(a) The Securitization Entities.

In the event that a Lender Party (solely in its capacity as such) takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(a), each affected Securitization Entity shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest or cause to be contested the filing of such a petition by any such Person against such Securitization Entity or the commencement of such action and raise or cause to be raised the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by a Lender Party in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving any Securitization Entity. The obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Agreement are solely the limited liability company or corporate, as the case may be, obligations of the Co-Issuers.

Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper or other debt securities or instruments issued by a Conduit Investor, institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Investor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, examination or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state (or any other jurisdiction with authority over such Conduit Investor) bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that, subject to Section 9.10(d), nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from such Conduit Investor pursuant to this Agreement, the Series 2024-1 Supplement, the Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document. In the event that any such party takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(b), such related Conduit Investor may file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest or cause to be contested the filing of such a petition by any such party against such Conduit Investor or the commencement of such action and raise or cause to be raised the defense that such party has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any of the Securitization Entities, the Managers or a Lender Party in assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving a Conduit Investor. Subject to Section 9.10(d), the obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, including any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director, member, affiliate or incorporator (or Person similar to an incorporator under state business organization laws) of any Conduit Investor; provided, however, nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from any liability that any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(d) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Investor shall be obligated to pay any fees, costs, indemnified amounts or expenses due pursuant to this Agreement (“Conduit Investor Amounts”) other than in accordance with the order of priorities set out in such Conduit Investor’s commercial paper program documents and all payment obligations of each Conduit Investor hereunder are contingent on the availability of funds received pursuant to this Agreement

Any such amount which any Conduit Investor does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against or corporate obligation of such Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency unless and until funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes are available for the payment of such amounts as aforesaid.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), any Conduit Investor and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) may at any time sell all or any part of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Co-Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider, to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper is rated at least “A-1” (or then equivalent grade) from S&P, and one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (an “Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Investor Group Supplement” or the “Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Acquiring Investor Group, the Funding Agent with respect to such Acquiring Investor Group (including the Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Investor Group), such assigning Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Conduit Investor, the Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Conduit Investor and Committed Note Purchasers, the Co-Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Provider and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Co-Issuers shall be required for an assignment to another Committed Note Purchaser or any Affiliate of a Committed Note Purchaser and its related Conduit Investor or if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.17(c) is intended to permit and provide for (i) assignments from a Committed Note Purchaser to a Conduit Investor in a different Investor Group and (ii) assignments from a Conduit Investor to a Committed Note Purchaser in a different Investor group, and, in each of (i) and (ii), Exhibit C shall be revised to reflect such assignments.

(d) Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), the Swingline Lender may at any time assign all its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Swingline Note, in whole but not in part, with the prior written consent of the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to a financial institution pursuant to an agreement with, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Issuers, whereupon the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder; provided that no consent of the Co-Issuers shall be required if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the prior written consent of each Funding Agent (other than any Funding Agent with respect to which all of the Committed Note Purchasers in such Funding Agent’s Investor Group are Defaulting Investors), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall be required if such financial institution is not a Committed Note Purchaser.

(e) Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), the L/C Provider may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 L/C Note with the prior written consent of the Co-Issuers and the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to a financial institution pursuant to an agreement with, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Issuers, whereupon the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent so assigned; provided that no consent of the Co-Issuers shall be required if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(f) Any assignment of the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

SECTION 9.18 Defaulting Investors. (a) The Co-Issuers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Defaulting Investor and the Administrative Agent, (i) require any Defaulting Investor to sell all of its rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to an assignee; provided that (x) such assignment is made in compliance with Section 9.17 and (y) such Defaulting Investor shall have received from such assignee an amount equal to such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder or (ii) remove any Defaulting Investor as an Investor by paying to such Defaulting Investor an amount equal to such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder. “Defaulting Investor” means any Investor that has (w) failed to make a payment required to be made by it under the terms of this Agreement within one Business Day of the day such payment is required to be made by such Investor thereunder, (x) notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it does not intend to make any payment required to be made by it under the terms of this Agreement within one Business Day of the day such payment is required to be made by such Investor thereunder, (y) become the subject of an Event of Bankruptcy or (z) become the subject of a Bail-In Action (as such term is defined in Section 9.21 hereof).

(b) In the event that a Defaulting Investor desires to sell all or any portion of it’s rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to an unaffiliated third party assignee for an amount less than 100% (or, if only a portion of such rights, obligations and commitments are proposed to be sold, such portion) of such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder, such Defaulting Investor shall promptly notify the Co-Issuers of the proposed sale (the “Sale Notice”). Each Sale Notice shall certify that such Defaulting Investor has received a firm offer from the prospective unaffiliated third party and shall contain the material terms of the proposed sale, including, without limitation, the purchase price of the proposed sale and the portion of such Defaulting Investor’s rights, obligations and commitments proposed to be sold. The Co-Issuers and any of their respective Affiliates shall have an option for a period of three (3) Business Days from the date the Sale Notice is given to elect to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments at the same price and subject to the same material terms as described in the Sale Notice. The Co-Issuers or any of their respective Affiliates may exercise such purchase option by notifying such Defaulting Investor before expiration of such three (3) Business Days period that it wishes to purchase all (but not a portion) of the rights, obligations and commitments of such Defaulting Investor proposed to be sold to such unaffiliated third party. If the Co-Issuers or any of their Affiliates give notice to such Defaulting Investor that they desire to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments, the Co-Issuers or such Affiliate shall promptly pay the purchase price to such Defaulting Investor. If the Co-Issuers or any of their respective Affiliates do not respond to any Sale Notice within such three (3) Business Days period, the Co-Issuers and their respective Affiliates shall be deemed not to have exercised such purchase option.

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

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

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to the account of such Defaulting Investor (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied (and the Co-Issuers shall instruct the Trustee to apply such amounts) as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; fourth, as the Co-Issuers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Issuers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Investor’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of any future Undrawn L/C Face Amounts multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Investors, the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Investor, the L/C Provider or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Co-Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Co-Issuers against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Investor or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or any extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) owed to, all non-Defaulting Investors on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.09(a) owed to, such Defaulting Investor until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Investors pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 9.18(c)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Investor that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Investor or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 9.18(c)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Investor, and each Investor irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) All or any part of such Defaulting Investor’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Investors pro rata based on their Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Investor’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 are satisfied at

the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Co-Issuers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Co-Issuers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the product of any non-Defaulting Investor’s related Investor Group Principal Amount multiplied by such non-Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage to exceed such non-Defaulting Investor’s Commitment Amount. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Investor arising from that Investor having become a Defaulting Investor, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Investor as a result of such non-Defaulting Investor’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

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

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

SECTION 9.19 No Fiduciary Duties. The Co-Issuers, the Managers and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that in connection with transaction contemplated in this Agreement, or any other services the Lender Parties may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Lender Parties: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between any of the Co-Issuers, the Managers, the Guarantors and any other person, on the one hand, and the Lender Parties, on the other, exists; (b) the Lender Parties are not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Co-Issuers, the Managers or the Guarantors, and such relationship between the Co-Issuers, the Managers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lender Parties, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Lender Parties may have to the Co-Issuers, the Managers and the Guarantors shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; (d) the Lender Parties and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Co-Issuers, the Managers and the Guarantors; and (e) the Co-Issuers, the Managers and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Co-Issuers, the Managers and the Guarantors hereby waive any claims that the Co-Issuers, the Managers and the Guarantors may have against the Lender Parties with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Series 2024-1 Class A-1 Notes.

SECTION 9.20 No Guarantee by Managers. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Managers shall not be construed as a guarantee or other credit support by any Manager of the obligations of the Securitization Entities hereunder. The Managers shall not be liable in any respect for any obligation of the Securitization Entities hereunder or any violation by any Securitization Entity of its covenants, representations and warranties or other agreements and obligations hereunder.
