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)

the amount demanded by Depositary Bank, Collateral Agent agrees to reimburse Depositary Bank within ten (10) days of demand thereof by Depositary Bank for any Returned Items and Overdrafts to the extent Collateral Agent received payment in respect thereof pursuant to section 4.

Depositary Bank further represents that (i) each Collateral Account is a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”), and Bank shall at all times treat the Deposit Account as a “deposit account”, and (ii) it is a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC.

Form of [***] Blocked Account Control Agreements

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

(Access Restricted after Notice)

This Deposit Account Control Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of the date specified on the initial signature page of this Agreement, is entered into by and among Sunrun Solar Tenant [            ], LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company”), OneWest Bank N.A., as collateral agent for certain financial instutitions that have agreed to extend credit or to provide secured interest rate swaps to the Company (“Secured Party”) and [***] (“Bank”), and sets forth the rights of Secured Party and the obligations of Bank with respect to the deposit accounts of Company at Bank identified at the end of this Agreement as the Collateral Accounts (each hereinafter referred to individually as a “Collateral Account” and collectively as the “Collateral Accounts”). Each account designated as a Collateral Account includes, for purposes of this Agreement, and without the necessity of separately listing subaccount numbers, all subaccounts presently existing or hereafter established for deposit reporting purposes and integrated with the Collateral Account by an arrangement in which deposits made through subaccounts are posted only to the Collateral Account.

 

1. Secured Party’s Interest in Collateral Accounts. Secured Party represents that it is the collateral agent for certain financial institutions that have agreed to extend credit to Company and has been granted, as collateral agent for such financial instutitons, a security interest in the Collateral Accounts. Company hereby confirms the security interest granted by Company to Secured Party in all of Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Accounts and all sums now or hereafter on deposit in or payable or withdrawable from the Collateral Accounts (the “Collateral Account Funds”). In furtherance of the intentions of the parties hereto, this Agreement constitutes written notice by Secured Party to Bank of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral Accounts.

 

2. Secured Party Control. Bank, Secured Party and Company each agree that Bank will comply with instructions given to Bank by Secured Party directing disposition of funds in the Collateral Accounts (“Disposition Instructions”) without further consent by Company. Except as otherwise required by law, Bank will not agree with any third party to comply with instructions for disposition of funds in the Collateral Accounts originated by such third party. Except for that certain Deposit Account Control dated October 30, 2013, by and among the Company, Ares Capital Corporation and Bank which shall be terminated simultaneously with or prior to the effective time of this Agreement, Bank represents that it has not entered into any other still effective control agreements with respect to the Collateral Account. Bank further represents and that (i) each Collateral Account is a “deposit account” (as defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code), and (ii) is a “bank” (as defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

 

3.

Company Access to Collateral Accounts. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Secured Party Control” section of this Agreement, Secured Party agrees that Company will be allowed access to the Collateral Accounts and Collateral Account Funds until Bank receives, and has had a reasonable opportunity (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days (as that term is defined below) after its

 

[***] 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.

 

  Exhibit E-2-1   Exhibits to TLA Credit Agreement


  receipt of such Access Termination Notice (defined below)) to act on, written notice from Secured Party directing that Company no longer have access to any Collateral Accounts or Collateral Account Funds (an “Access Termination Notice”). Company irrevocably authorizes Bank to comply with any Access Termination Notice and/or Disposition Instructions even if Company objects to them in any way, and agrees that Bank may pay any and all Collateral Account Funds to Secured Party in response to any Disposition Instructions. Company further agrees that after Bank receives an Access Termination Notice, Company will not have access to any Collateral Accounts or Collateral Account Funds.

 

4. Transfers in Response to Disposition Instructions. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Secured Party Control” section of this Agreement, unless Bank separately agrees in writing to the contrary, Bank will have no obligation to disburse funds in response to Disposition Instructions other than by automatic standing wire. Bank hereby agrees that on each Business Day after it receives and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on an Access Termination Notice and corresponding Disposition Instructions it will transfer to the account specified at the end of this Agreement as the Destination Account or, if no account is specified, to such account as Secured Party specifies in the Access Termination Notice (in either case, the “Destination Account”) that portion of the full amount of the collected and available balance in the Collateral Accounts at the beginning of such Business Day which exceeds the sum of [        ] (such sum being hereinafter referred to as the “Retained Balance”), and Company hereby irrevocably consents to such transfer. Any disposition of funds which Bank makes in response to Disposition Instructions is subject to Bank’s standard policies, procedures and documentation governing the type of disposition made; provided, however, that in no circumstances will any such disposition require Company’s consent. To the extent any Collateral Account is a certificate of deposit or time deposit, Bank will be entitled to deduct any applicable early withdrawal penalty prior to disbursing funds from such account in response to Disposition Instructions. To the extent Secured Party requests that funds be transferred from any Collateral Account in a currency different from the currency denomination of the Collateral Account, the funds transfer will be made after currency conversion at Bank’s then current buying rate for exchange applicable to the new currency.

 

5. Lockboxes. To the extent items deposited to a Collateral Account have been received in one or more post office lockboxes maintained for Company by Bank (each a “Lockbox”) and processed by Bank for deposit, Company acknowledges that Company has granted Secured Party a security interest in all such items (the “Remittances”). Company agrees that after Bank receives an Access Termination Notice, Company will have no further right or ability to instruct Bank regarding the receipt, processing or deposit of Remittances, and that Secured Party alone will have the right and ability to so instruct Bank. Company and Secured Party acknowledge and agree that Bank’s operation of each Lockbox, and the receipt, retrieval, processing and deposit of Remittances, will at all times be governed by Bank’s Master Agreement for Treasury Management Services or other applicable treasury management services agreement, and by Bank’s applicable standard lockbox Service Description.

 

6.

Balance Reports and Bank Statements. Bank agrees, at the request of Secured Party on any day on which Bank is open to conduct its regular banking business, other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday (each a “Business Day”), to make available to Secured Party a report (“Balance Report”) showing the opening available balance in the Collateral Accounts as of the beginning of such Business Day, by a transmission method determined by Bank, in Bank’s sole discretion.

  sufficient funds in the applicable Collateral Account to cover the Settlement Item Amounts on the day they are to be debited from the Collateral Account. Secured Party agrees to pay all Settlement Item Amounts within five (5) calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent that (i) the Settlement Item Amounts are not paid in full by Company within five (5) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank, and (ii) Secured Party has received Collateral Account Funds under this Agreement.

 

9. Bank Fees. Company agrees to pay all Bank’s fees and charges for the maintenance and administration of the Collateral Accounts and for the treasury management and other account services provided with respect to the Collateral Accounts and any Lockboxes (collectively “Bank Fees”), including, but not limited to, the fees for (a) Balance Reports provided on the Collateral Accounts, (b) funds transfer services received with respect to the Collateral Accounts, (c) lockbox processing services, (d) Returned Items, (e) funds advanced to cover overdrafts in the Collateral Accounts (but without Bank being in any way obligated to make any such advances), and (f) duplicate bank statements. The Bank Fees will be paid by Bank debiting one or more of the Collateral Accounts on the Business Day that the Bank Fees are due, without notice to Secured Party or Company. If there are not sufficient funds in the Collateral Accounts to cover fully the Bank Fees on the Business Day Bank attempts to debit them from the Collateral Accounts, such shortfall or the amount of such Bank Fees will be paid by Company to Bank, without setoff or counterclaim, within five (5) calendar days after demand from Bank. Secured Party agrees to pay any Bank Fees which accrue after Bank receives an Access Termination Notice, within five (5) calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent such Bank Fees are not paid in full by Company within five (5) calendar days after demand on Company by Bank.

 

10. Account Documentation. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Secured Party and Company agree that the Collateral Accounts will be subject to, and Bank’s operation of the Collateral Accounts will be in accordance with, the terms of Bank’s applicable deposit account agreement governing the Collateral Accounts (“Account Agreement”). All documentation referenced in this Agreement as governing any Collateral Account or the processing of any Remittances is hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Account Documentation”.

 

11. Partial Subordination of Bank’s Rights. Bank hereby subordinates to the security interest of Secured Party in the Collateral Accounts (i) any security interest which Bank may have or acquire in the Collateral Accounts, and (ii) any right which Bank may have or acquire to set off or otherwise apply any Collateral Account Funds against the payment of any indebtedness from time to time owing to Bank from Company, except for debits to the Collateral Accounts permitted under this Agreement for the payment of Returned Item Amounts, Settlement Item Amounts or Bank Fees.

 

12. Bankruptcy Notice; Effect of Filing. If Bank at any time receives notice of the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation proceeding by or against Company, Bank will continue to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that any action required of Bank under this Agreement is prohibited under applicable bankruptcy laws or regulations or is stayed pursuant to the automatic stay imposed under the United States Bankruptcy Code or by order of any court or agency. With respect to any obligation of Secured Party hereunder which requires prior demand on Company, the commencement of a bankruptcy case or other insolvency or liquidation proceeding by or against Company will automatically eliminate the necessity of such demand on Company by Bank, and will immediately entitle Bank to make demand on Secured Party with the same effect as if demand had been made on Company and the time for Company’s performance had expired.

  Exhibit E-2-4   Exhibits to TLA Credit Agreement


13. Legal Process, Legal Notices and Court Orders. Bank will comply with any legal process, legal notice or court order it receives in relation to a Collateral Account if Bank determines in its sole discretion that the legal process, legal notice or court order is legally binding on it.

 

14. Indemnification. Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank, its officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively “Losses and Liabilities”) Bank may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with (a) Bank complying with any binding legal process, legal notice or court order referred to in the immediately preceding section of this Agreement, (b) Bank following any instruction or request of Secured Party, including but not limited to any Access Termination Notice or Disposition Instructions, or (c) Bank complying with its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses and Liabilities are caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent such obligations of indemnity are not satisfied by Company within five (5) days after demand on Company by Bank, Secured Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank and the other Indemnified Parties against any and all Losses and Liabilities Bank may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with Bank following any instruction or request of Secured Party, except to the extent such Losses and Liabilities are caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

15. Bank’s Responsibility. This Agreement does not create any obligations of Bank, and Bank makes no express or implied representations or warranties with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, except for those expressly set forth herein. In particular, Bank need not investigate whether Secured Party is entitled under Secured Party’s agreements with Company to give an Access Termination Notice or Disposition Instructions. Bank may rely on any and all notices and communications it believes are given by the appropriate party. Bank will not be liable to Company, Secured Party or any other party for any Losses and Liabilities caused by (i) circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control (including, without limitation, computer malfunctions, interruptions of communication facilities, labor difficulties, acts of God, wars, or terrorist attacks) or (ii) any other circumstances, except to the extent that such Losses and Liabilities are directly caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event will Bank be liable for any indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not the likelihood of such damages was known to Bank, and regardless of the form of the claim or action, or the legal theory on which it is based. Any action against Bank by Company or Secured Party under or related to this Agreement must be brought within twelve (12) months after the cause of action accrues.

 

16.

Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by Secured Party or Bank at any time by either of them giving thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of such termination to the other parties to this Agreement at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated (i) within five (5) calendar days upon such written notice from Bank to Company and Secured Party should Company or Secured Party fail to make any payment when due to Bank from Company or Secured Party under the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) immediately upon such written notice from Secured Party to Bank on termination or release of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral Accounts; provided that any notice from Secured Party under clause (ii) of this sentence must contain Secured Party’s acknowledgement of the termination or release of its security interest in the Collateral Accounts. Company’s and Secured Party’s respective obligations to report errors in funds transfers and bank statements and to pay Returned Items Amounts, Settlement Item Amounts, and Bank Fees, as well

  Exhibit E-2-5   Exhibits to TLA Credit Agreement


  as the indemnifications made, and the limitations on the liability of Bank accepted, by Company and Secured Party under this Agreement will continue after the termination of this Agreement with respect to all the circumstances to which they are applicable, existing or occurring before such termination, and any liability of any party to this Agreement, as determined under the provisions of this Agreement, with respect to acts or omissions of such party prior to such termination will also survive such termination; provided that with respect to the liabilities of the Bank and the Secured Party as determined under the provisions of this Agreement, with respect to acts or omissions of such party prior to such termination, such liabilities shall terminate twelve (12) months after the termination of the this Agreement except with respect to written claims made to such party prior to expiration of such twelve (12) month period. Upon any termination of this Agreement which occurs after Bank has received an Access Termination Notice and has had a reasonable opportunity (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such Access Termination Notice) to act on it, (i) Bank will transfer all collected and available balances in the Collateral Accounts on the date of such termination in accordance with Secured Party’s written instructions, and (ii) Bank will close any Lockbox and forward any mail received at the Lockbox unopened to such address as is communicated to Bank by Secured Party under the notice provisions of this Agreement for a period of three (3) months after the effective termination date, unless otherwise arranged between Secured Party and Bank, provided that Bank’s fees with respect to such disposition must be prepaid directly to Bank at the time of termination by cashier’s check payable to Bank or other payment method acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the earlier of (i) termination of this Agreement, or (ii) any closure of the Collateral Accounts after Bank receives Access Termination Notice, Bank may place the Retained Balance (or any portion thereof) in suspense (or in a separate account controlled by Bank) for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days, during which time Bank may debit such Retained Balance for Returned Items, Settlement Items and/or Bank Fees not otherwise paid by Company, and any portion of the Retained Balance which remains in suspense (or a Bank-controlled account) at the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period will be transferred to Secured Party as requested by Secured Party in writing to Bank.

 

17. Modifications, Amendments, and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, or any provision thereof waived, except in a writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement.

 

18. Notices. All notices from one party to another must be in writing, must be delivered to Company, Secured Party and/or Bank at their contact addresses specified after their signatures to this Agreement, or any other address of any party communicated to the other parties in writing, and will be effective on receipt. Any notice sent by a party to this Agreement to another party must also be sent to all other parties to this Agreement. Bank is authorized by Company and Secured Party to act on any instructions or notices received by Bank if (a) such instructions or notices purport to be made in the name of Secured Party, (b) Bank reasonably believes that they are so made, and (c) they do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement as such terms may be amended from time to time, unless such conflicting instructions or notices are supported by a court order.

 

19.

Successors and Assigns. Neither Company nor Secured Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party may transfer its rights and duties under this Agreement to (i) a transferee to which, by contract or operation of law, Secured Party transfers substantially all of its rights and duties under

 

[***] 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.

 

  Exhibit E-2-6   Exhibits to TLA Credit Agreement


  the financing or other arrangements between Secured Party and Company, or (ii) if Secured Party is acting as a representative in whose favor a security interest is created or provided for, a transferee that is a successor representative; provided that as between Bank and Secured Party, Secured Party will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement unless and until Bank receives any such transferee’s binding written agreement to assume all of Secured Party’s obligations hereunder. Bank may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent will be required if such assignment or transfer takes place as part of a merger, acquisition or corporate reorganization affecting Bank.

 

20. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles. This state will also be deemed to be Bank’s jurisdiction, for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as it applies to this Agreement.

 

21. Severability. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement are inconsistent with, or prohibited or unenforceable under, any applicable law or regulation, they will be deemed ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and will be deemed modified and applied in a manner consistent with such law or regulation. Any provision of this Agreement which is deemed unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the same provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which will be an original with the same effect as if the signatures were on the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or electronic image scan transmission (such as a “pdf” file) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement.

 

23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Account Documentation, contains the entire and only agreement among all the parties to this Agreement and between Bank and Company, on the one hand, and Bank and Secured Party, on the other hand, with respect to (a) the interest of Secured Party in the Collateral Accounts and Collateral Account Funds, and (b) Bank’s obligations to Secured Party in connection with the Collateral Accounts and Collateral Account Funds.

 

24. Company Obligations to Secured Party. Solely as between Company and Secured Party, Secured Party’s obligation to Bank hereunder shall in no way operate to release Company from its obligations to Secured Party and shall not impair any rights or remedies of Secured Party to collect any such amounts from Company. Nothing contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall affect or limit the liability of Company or Secured Party to Bank under this Agreement.

New York, New York

[                    ], 20[    ]

For value received, the undersigned, SUNRUN AURORA PORTFOLIO 2014-A, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), unconditionally promises to pay to [            ], or its permitted assigns (the “Lender”), the principal amount of [            DOLLARS ($            )], or if less, the aggregate unpaid and outstanding principal amount of this Term Loan Note advanced by the Lender to Borrower pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2014 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Borrower, the financial institutions as Lenders from time to time party thereto, INVESTEC BANK PLC, as administrative agent, and KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Issuing Bank, and all other amounts owed by Borrower to the Lender hereunder.

Payments of principal of, and interest on, this Term Loan Note are to be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lender, in lawful money of the United States of America.

This is one of the Term Loan Notes referred to in Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement and is entitled to the benefits thereof and is subject to all terms, provisions and conditions thereof. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents for the provisions, among others, with respect to the custody and application of the Collateral, the nature and extent of the security provided thereunder, the rights, duties and obligations of Borrower and the rights of the holder of this Term Loan Note.

The principal amount hereof is payable in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such principal amount may be prepaid solely in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Borrower authorizes the Lender to record on the schedule annexed to this Term Loan Note the date and amount of each Term Loan made by the Lender and each payment or prepayment of principal thereunder and agrees that all such notations shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the matters noted. Borrower further authorizes the Lender to attach to and make a part of this Term Loan Note continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. No failure to make any such notations, nor any errors in making any such notations, shall affect the validity of Borrower’s obligations to repay the full unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans.

 

[***] 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.

 

  Exhibit H-1-1   Exhibits to TLA Credit Agreement


Borrower further agrees to pay, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, interest from the date hereof on the unpaid and outstanding principal amount hereof until such unpaid and outstanding principal amount shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) at the rates of interest and at the times set forth in the Credit Agreement, and Borrower agrees to pay other fees and costs as stated in the Credit Agreement at the times specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, the Credit Agreement.

Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Term Loan Note, at the times specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, the Credit Agreement.

Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, this Term Loan Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby may not be assigned by Lender to any other Person. Transfer of this Term Loan Note may be effected only by a surrender of the Term Loan Note by Lender and either reissuance of the Term Loan Note or issuance of a new Term Loan Note by the Borrower to the new lender.

Schedule 6.10

Litigation; Adverse Facts

1. In July 2012, the Department of Treasury and the Department of Justice (together, the “Government”) opened a civil investigation into the participation by residential solar developers in the Section 1603 grant program. The Government served subpoenas on several developers, including Sunrun, along with their investors and valuation firms. At Sunrun’s request, the Government later reduced substantially the scope of its subpoena and permitted Sunrun to produce a limited set of documents. Sunrun has completed its production of these documents. The Government asked few follow-up questions about Sunrun’s production and confirmed that it has made no decisions regarding Sunrun’s participation in the Section 1603 grant program. Sunrun presented its view of solar system valuation to the Government over the course of two meetings, on December 10, 2013 and March 7, 2014. At the conclusion of the March 7, 2014 meeting, and at a follow-up meeting the following week, the Government conceded that it does not currently have a theory of liability or damages. On June 23, 2014 the Government contacted Sunrun with additional requests for documents and information. Sunrun is cooperating fully with the Government’s investigation by engaging in collaborative discussions regarding the appropriate methodology for valuing solar projects in Section 1603 grant applications. Sunrun notes that it was both transparent and collaborative with the Department of Treasury regarding its valuation methodology at the time it submitted its 1603 grant applications, and firmly believes the valuations it submitted to the Department of Treasury were correct.

2. On January 4, 2012, a consumer rights class action law firm, Hagens Berman, LLP, filed a class action complaint against Sunrun in Los Angeles Superior Court. The Complaint, captioned Reed v. Sunrun, BC498002 (Super. Ct. Los Angeles), asserts the claims of one named plaintiff (Shawn Reed) and all others similarly situated, and alleges claims under the California state contractor licensing statute, the California unfair competition statute (Section 17200), and the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act. The litigation is ongoing.

3. In August 2012, the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) commenced a limited scope audit of Sunrun OBS Owner I LLC (“OBS”) and SunRun Solar Tenant I LLC (“Tenant I”). The Service has told Sunrun that the audit is focused on 2010 and prior years and on asset valuation, but other items are also being reviewed. On August 19, 2014, the Service closed the OBS audit without adjustment. With respect to the Tenant I audit, the Service has neither issued a Notice of Proposed Adjustment nor indicated it plans to do so. In addition, Sunrun has not been informed of any other proposed tax return adjustments. However, the Tenant I audit is continuing and there can be no guarantee that adjustments as to valuation or other matters will not be proposed.

4. On April 14, 2013, the Arizona Department of Revenue (“DOR”) issued a letter notifying taxpayer of its intention to assign values to, and assess taxes upon, solar energy equipment owned by a solar power company and installed at a customer’s site. The DOR’s letter is inconsistent with A.R.S. § 42-11054(C)(2), which states that solar energy devices designed to produce energy primarily for on-site consumption have no value and add no value to the property on which the device is installed. In May 2014, Sunrun completed its personal property reporting forms. Sunrun included with the forms a disclaimer reiterating its legal position. On June 13, 2014, DOR issued Sunrun a Notice of Value that assessed its solar systems at $7,675,000. On June 30, 2014, Sunrun and SolarCity jointly filed a lawsuit against DOR seeking a declaratory judgment that DOR’s interpretation of the law is incorrect and the solar energy devices owned by SolarCity and Sunrun have a value of zero. The litigation is ongoing.
