Each LC Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such LC Lender’s pro rata share (determined as the percentage which such LC Lender’s LC Commitment then constitutes of the aggregate LC Commitments) of each such Drawing Payment on a Letter of Credit within one Business Day after receiving notice. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. In the event that any LC Lender fails to make available to Issuing Bank on such

(f) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Borrower under Section 5.06, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (2) the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission by any Governmental Authority.

To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 5.07(a) or Section 5.08 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-Administrative Agent thereof) or any Related Party, and without limitation of the obligations of the Borrower and such Related Parties to pay such amounts, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-Administrative Agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on such Lender’s percentage of the Commitments, Loans and LC Exposure outstanding) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), provided, further, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-Administrative Agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party, acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-Administrative Agent) in connection with such capacity.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall and does hereby indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 5.09(c)(ii) below.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.09, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.09 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.09, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 5.09 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.09(f), in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.09(f) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise

This Section 5.09(f) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) OID. The Borrower and the Lenders agree (i) that the Loans are to be treated as indebtedness of the Borrower for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) to the extent that the Borrower or a Governmental Authority determines that the Loans were made with original issue discount (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to report such OID as interest expense and interest income, respectively, in accordance with sections 163(e)(1) and 1272(a)(1) of the Code, (iii) not to file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent with the foregoing, and (iv) any OID shall constitute principal for all purposes under this Agreement. The inclusion of this Section 5.09(g) is not an admission by any Lender that it is subject to United States taxation.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.11(d), or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 5.09, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.09 or Section 5.11(d) (as the case may be), in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.11(d), or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 5.09 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 5.10(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.05), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.11 or Section 5.09) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents (other than any Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreement) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding Obligations owed (including all principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts) to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.11(f)) from the assignee (to the extent of such Obligations) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.11(d) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.09, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

In the event the replaced Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) is party to any Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreement, then the replaced Lender (or Affiliate of such Lender) (the “Replaced Hedge Provider”) under such Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreement may elect to (A) terminate such Secured Interest Rate Hedge Agreement in accordance with its terms or (B) require the Borrower to cause the novation of such Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreement so that the entire notional amount set forth in the original Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreement is subject to the novated Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreements with the Eligible Assignee referred to above (or an Affiliate of such Eligible Assignee) (the “Replacement Hedge Provider); provided, however, that in the event of any novation the Replacement Hedge Provider and transaction documentation must be acceptable to the Replaced Hedge Provider in its sole discretion and the Borrower shall be responsible for all additional costs resulting from any assignment or novation of any Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreement under this clause (b), including any fees or additional credit or other margins (such costs, fees and margins to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and, to the extent of any mark-to-market payment, the Replaced Hedge Provider shall determine any amounts payable to or by it in respect of the assignment as if an “Additional Termination Event” occurred under the Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreement with the Borrower as the sole Affected Party (as defined therein).

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 5.11 Change of Circumstances.

(a) Market Disruption.

(B) the percentage rate per annum notified to the Administrative Agent by that Lender, as soon as practicable and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period (or such later date as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source(s) it may reasonably select.

(ii) In relation to a Market Disruption Event under paragraph (iii)(B) below, if the percentage rate per annum notified by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (i)(B) above shall be less than LIBOR or if a Lender shall fail to notify the Administrative Agent of any such percentage rate per annum, the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (i) above, to be LIBOR.

(iii) In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means (A) at or about noon (London time) on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Administrative Agent to determine LIBOR for dollars for the relevant Interest Period, or (B) at 5 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Administrative Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the relevant Loan exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR.

(iv) If a Market Disruption Event shall occur, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof.

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, which by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

occurred and is continuing, in which case the consent of the Borrower shall not be required, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date and upon acceptance by the successor Administrative Agent.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 5.09(h) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.06). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XII and Sections 5.07 and 5.08 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub Administrative Agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 12.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 12.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective Administrative Agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its Administrative Agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 12.09 Appointment of Collateral Agent and Depositary Agent. The Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby consents and agrees to the appointment of the Collateral Agent and the Depositary Agent respectively in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Depository Agreement and authorize each such Agent in such capacity to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Collateral Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of the Collateral Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent and Depository Bank shall each be an express third party beneficiary of Section 13.01(b)(vii), Section 5.07 and Section 5.08.

Section 12.10 Joint Lead Arrangers. The Joint Lead Arrangers shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacities as such.

The Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnitee from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower, other than those resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

145 TLA CREDIT AGREEMENT


(iii) Required Consents. The consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower (such consent in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, with respect to the assignment of any LC Exposure, the Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.05(b) other than (A) at any time prior to the end of the Availability Period, assignments to a Lender or an Eligible Assignee and (B) at any time after the Availability Period, assignments to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Eligible Assignee or an Approved Fund; provided that, in each case, no consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower’s consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days of an assignment request. No other consent shall be required for any such assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) above.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) Prohibited Assignments. No assignment of any Loans or Commitments shall be made to (A) a Competitor, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates in this Section 13.05(b)(v), (C) to a natural Person or (D) to any Affiliated Lender if, in the case of this subclause (D), after giving effect to such assignment, the Affiliated Lenders would, in the aggregate, own or hold in excess of 25% of the Commitments, Loans and LC Exposure outstanding under the Facilities (calculated as of the date of such purchase).

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (vii), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

146 TLA CREDIT AGREEMENT


(vii) Assignment to an Affiliated Lender. In the event that the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (including the Sponsor) is an assignee under this Section 13.05(b) (an “Affiliated Lender”), (A) such Affiliated Lender shall be a Non-Voting Lender (as defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement) and its Commitments or Delayed Draw Commitments shall not be included in any calculation for purposes of determining whether a requisite number or percentage of Lenders, as applicable, have voted to take an action hereunder and (B) the Affiliated Lender, in its capacity as a Lender, shall not have any right (1) to consent to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (2) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (3) to otherwise vote on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (4) to attend any meeting or conference call with the Administrative Agent or any Lender or receive any information from the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (5) to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent or any Lender or with respect to the duties and obligations of such Person under the Loan Documents; provided, that no amendment, modification or waiver shall (I) deprive the Affiliated Lender, in its capacity as a Lender, of its share of any payments which Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder or (II) affect the Affiliated Lender, or any of them, in its capacity as Lender, in a manner that is materially disproportionate to the effect of such amendment or other modification on other Lenders; provided, further, no amendment, modification or waiver expressly requiring the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 13.01(b) shall be effective without the consent of the Affiliated Lender, in its capacity as a Lender.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.05(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.06, 5.07, 5.08, 5.09 and 5.11 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.05(d).

147 TLA CREDIT AGREEMENT


(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an Administrative Agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments and Delayed Draw Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee lender, administrative details information with respect to such assignee lender (unless the assignee lender shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b)(iv) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly record each assignment made in accordance with this Section 13.05(c) in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 13.05(c). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. (i) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Delayed Draw Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver requiring the consent of all Lenders, as set forth in first proviso in Section 13.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.08, 5.09 and 5.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.05(b); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.09 as if it were an assignee under Section 13.05(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.11 as though it were a

148 TLA CREDIT AGREEMENT


Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.10 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Commitments or other rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (each such register, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other rights or obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other right or obligation is in registered form under section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender 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.

Section 13.16 Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

Section 13.17 Right of Setoff. Subject to Article IV of the Collateral Agency Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 13.17 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 13.18 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 13.19 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the making thereof and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.20 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A)

This CONSENT AND THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May [    ], 2015 (this “Amendment”), is entered into among the undersigned in connection with that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2014, by and among Sunrun Aurora Portfolio 2014-A, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Borrower, Investec Bank PLC, as Administrative Agent, KeyBank, N.A., as Issuing Bank, and the financial institutions party thereto as Lenders from time to time, as amended by that certain Waiver and First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2015, by and among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party thereto and as further amended by that certain Consent, Acknowledgement and Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2015, by and among the Loan Parties, the Lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent, the Secured Hedge Providers, the Issuing Bank and the Collateral Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). Terms which are capitalized in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Borrower wishes to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto wish to agree to make such amendments; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower also wishes to obtain consent from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto in respect of: (i) an amendment to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Owner XVIII in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Owner XVIII LLC Agreement Amendment”; (ii) an amendment to the Owner XVIII Master Purchase Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Owner XVIII Master Purchase Agreement Amendment”); and (iii) an amendment to the [***] Class B Member Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “[***] Class B Member Note Amendment” and, together with the Owner XVIII LLC Agreement Amendment and the Owner XVIII Master Purchase Agreement Amendment, the “Tax Equity Documents Amendments”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

I. Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III below, the following amendment is hereby accepted and agreed by the parties hereto:

1. Section 8.01(c)(iii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended such that the text “June 30, 2015” is deleted and replaced with “September 30, 2015”.

II. Consent and Agreement. At the request of Borrower, and in accordance with the requirements under Section 13.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III below, each Lender party hereto and the Administrative Agent,

 

[***] Confidential treatment has been requested for the bracketed portions. The confidential redacted portion has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 


notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 8.10 of the Credit Agreement, hereby consents and agrees to the applicable Relevant Parties entering into the Tax Equity Documents Amendments (collectively, the “Consent”).

III. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. The amendment contained in Article I and the Consent shall not be effective unless each of the following conditions precedent is satisfied in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the date on which all such conditions have been satisfied being referred to herein as the “Third Amendment Effective Date”):

1. Execution by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto of this Amendment; and

2. Payment by the Borrower of the fees, costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of this Amendment [***]

IV. Representations and Warranties; Covenants.

1. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto:

(a) Power and Authority; Authorization. The Borrower has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Amendment and the Borrower has all requisite power and authority to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Borrower has duly authorized, executed and delivered this Amendment.

(b) Enforceability. Each of this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, (ii) the effect of general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

(c) Credit Agreement Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement and applicable to the Loan Parties is true and correct both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, except to the extent that any such representation and warranty relates solely to any earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct as of such earlier date.

(d) Defaults. No event has occurred or is continuing as of the date hereof, or will result from the transactions contemplated hereby on the date hereof, that would constitute an Event of Default or a Default after giving effect to the Consent.

V. Limited Amendment and Acknowledgement.

2. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Amendment should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the parties hereto shall enter into good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

3. Governing Law, etc.. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED UNDER, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PROVISIONS IN SECTIONS 13.08(b) THROUGH (d) AND SECTION 13.09 of the Credit Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Amendment and the parties hereto.
