(a)   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture, each Eligible Conduit Investor, if any, may, in its sole discretion, and if such Eligible Conduit Investor determines that it will not make (or it does not in fact make) an Advance or any portion of an Advance, its related Committed Note Purchaser(s) shall or, if there is no Eligible Conduit Investor with respect to any Investor Group, the Committed Note Purchaser(s) with respect to such Investor Group shall, upon the Issuers’ request for a Borrowing delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03 and the satisfaction of all conditions precedent thereto (or under the circumstances set forth in Section 2.05, 2.06 or 2.08), make Advances from time to time during the Commitment Term; provided, that such Advances shall be made ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and the portion of any such Advance made by any Committed Note Purchaser in such Investor Group shall be its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group (or the portion thereof not being made by any Conduit Investor in such Investor Group); provided, further, that if, as a result of any Committed Note Purchaser (a “Non-Funding Committed Note Purchaser”) failing to make any previous Advance that such Non-Funding Committed Note Purchaser was required to make, outstanding Advances are not held ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and among the Committed Note Purchasers within each Investor Group based on their respective Committed Note Purchaser Percentages at the time a request for Advances is made, (x) such Non-Funding Committed Note Purchaser shall make all of such Advances until outstanding Advances are held ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and among the Committed Note Purchasers within each Investor Group based on their respective Committed Note Purchaser Percentages and (y) further Advances shall be made ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and the portion of any such Advance made by any Committed Note Purchaser in such Investor Group shall be its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group (or the portion thereof not being made by any Conduit Investor in such Investor Group); provided, further, that the failure of a Non-Funding Committed Note Purchaser to make Advances pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso shall not, subject to the immediately following proviso, relieve any other Committed Note Purchaser of its obligation hereunder, if any, to make Advances in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(i); provided, further, that, subject, in the case of clause (i) below, to Section 2.03(b)(ii), no Advance shall be required or permitted to be made by any Investor on any date to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, (i) the related Investor Group Principal Amount would exceed the related Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount or (ii) the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount.

(b)   Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, at no time will a Conduit Investor be obligated to make Advances hereunder. If at any time

any Conduit Investor is not an Eligible Conduit Investor, such Conduit Investor shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to each of the related Funding Agent, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and the Issuers.

(c)   Each of the Advances to be made on any date shall be made as part of a single Borrowing. The Advances made as part of the initial Borrowing on the Series 2025-2 Closing Date, if any, will be evidenced by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes issued in connection herewith and will constitute purchases of Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Principal Amounts corresponding to the amount of such Advances. All of the other Advances will constitute Borrowings evidenced by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes issued in connection herewith and will constitute purchases of Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amounts corresponding to the amount of such Advances.  The Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amounts shall be the aggregate unpaid principal balance (and the Class Principal Balance) of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.  

(d)   On any Business Day, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent (who shall promptly distribute to each of the Funding Agents, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer) the Issuers may decrease the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount (each such decrease of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d), a “Voluntary Decrease”) by depositing with the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Voluntary Decrease not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date specified as the decrease date in the prior written notice referred to above and providing a written report to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) directing the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent to distribute to each Investor Group pro rata according to the portion of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount allocable to each Investor Group (which report shall include the calculation of such amounts and wiring instructions for the distributions thereof); provided, that to the extent the deposit with the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent described above is not made by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the same shall be deemed to be deposited on the following Business Day.  Any associated Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Breakage Amounts incurred as a result of such decrease (calculated in accordance with this Agreement) shall be deposited with the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent for allocation pursuant to the report referred to above. Each Voluntary Decrease in respect of any Advances shall be either (i) in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof or (ii) in such other amount necessary to reduce the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount to zero.  The failure to pay the amount of any Voluntary Decrease on the date specified as the decrease date in the related notice shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture, and any amounts deposited with the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent for application in the manner set forth above shall only be so deposited to the extent available in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(e)   Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2025-2 Supplement, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances evidenced by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes may be increased by Borrowings or decreased by Voluntary Decreases and such other amounts that are paid on the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes pursuant to the Priority of Payments from time to time.

(f)   At any time that the aggregate Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount attributable to each Investor Group is not held pro rata based on its respective Commitment Percentage (as a result of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or otherwise), the Investor Groups (and the Investors within each such Investor Group) shall at the direction of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, reallocate any outstanding Advances to ensure that the aggregate Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount attributable to each Investor Group is pro rata based on its respective Commitment Percentage; provided that the Issuers shall not be liable for any Breakage Amounts resulting solely from any such reallocations.

SECTION 2.03   Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Whenever the Issuers wish to make a Borrowing, the Issuers shall (or shall cause the Manager on their behalf to) by written notice in the form of an Advance Request, notify (for which purpose electronic means shall be sufficient) the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify each of the Funding Agents of its pro rata share thereof (or other required share, as required pursuant to Section 2.02(a)), and each of the Indenture Trustee, the Letter of Credit Provider and the Servicer in writing of such Borrowing) no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days (or, in the case of any SOFR Advances for purposes of Section 3.01(b), two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days) prior to the date of such Borrowing (unless a shorter period is agreed upon by each of the Funding Agents), which date of Borrowing shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term. Each such Advance Request shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the Borrowing date, (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing to be made on such date, (iii) the amount of outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings (if applicable) to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date (which amount, shall constitute the lesser of (x) the amount of such Borrowings and (y) all outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings outstanding on the date of such notice that are not prepaid with other funds of the Issuers available for such purpose), and (iv) instructions for application of the balance, if any, of the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date (which proceeds shall be made available to the Issuers or such other Persons or locations designated in such Advance Request). Requests for any Borrowing may not be made in an aggregate principal amount of less than $500,000 or in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, such other amount as agreed to by the Funding Agents); except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Advances for the purpose of repaying then-outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings. Subject to the provisos to Section 2.02(a), each Borrowing shall be ratably allocated among the Investor Groups’ respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts. Each Funding Agent shall promptly advise its related Conduit Investor, if any, of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) and shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of Borrowing) notify the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) whether such Conduit Investor has determined to make all or any portion of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by its Investor Group. On the date of each Borrowing and subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2025-2 Supplement (and, if requested by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, confirmation from the Letter of Credit Provider as to (x) the amount of outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, (y) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (z) the principal amount of any other Unreimbursed L/C Drawings then outstanding), the applicable Investors in each Investor Group shall make available to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent the amount of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by such Investor Group by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars of such amount in same day funds no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, as instructed in the applicable Advance Request and upon receipt thereof the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), first, if applicable, to the Letter of Credit Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and/or second, to the Issuers as instructed in the applicable Advance Request.

(b)   (i) The failure of any Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Committed Note Purchaser (whether or not in the same Investor Group) of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but neither the Committed Note Purchaser nor any other Person shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by such other Committed Note Purchaser on the date of any Borrowing and (ii) in the event that one or more Committed Note Purchasers fails to make its Advance by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, the Issuers shall deliver written notice (for which purpose electronic means shall be sufficient) to each of the other Committed Note Purchasers not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day,

and each of the other Committed Note Purchasers may, in their sole discretion, make available to the Issuers a supplemental Advance in a principal amount (such amount, the “reference amount”) equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal Advance that was unfunded multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Commitment Amount of such Committed Note Purchaser and the denominator of which is the aggregate Commitment Amounts of all Committed Note Purchasers (less the aggregate Commitment Amount of the Committed Note Purchasers failing to make Advances on such date) and (b) the excess of (i) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount over (ii) the product of (1) such Committed Note Purchaser’s related Investor Group Principal Amount, multiplied by (2) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage (after giving effect to all prior Advances on such date of Borrowing) (provided that a Committed Note Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to), on terms and conditions to be agreed upon by such Committed Note Purchaser and the Issuers, make available to the Issuers a supplemental Advance in a principal amount in excess of the reference amount; provided, however, that no such supplemental Advance shall be permitted to be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount).  Such supplemental Advances shall be made by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars in same day funds to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day following the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent shall by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) make such proceeds available, first, if applicable, to the Letter of Credit Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and, second, to the Issuers as instructed in the applicable Advance Request. If any Committed Note Purchaser which shall have so failed to fund its Advance shall subsequently pay such amount, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent shall apply such amount pro rata to repay any supplemental Advances made by the other Committed Note Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.03(b).

(c) Unless the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the date of any Borrowing that an applicable Investor in the related Investor Group will not make available to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent such Investor’s share of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group as part of such Borrowing, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Investor has made such share available to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Letter of Credit Provider and/or the Issuers, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount, and shall, if such corresponding amount has not been made available by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, make available to the Letter of Credit Provider and/or the Issuers, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount once such Investor has made such portion available to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that any Investor shall not have so made such amount available to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, such Investor and the Issuers jointly and severally agree to repay (without duplication) to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent on the next Payment Date such corresponding amount (in the case of the Issuers, in accordance with the Priority of Payments), together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Issuers until the date such amount is repaid to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Issuers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Investor, the Federal Funds Rate and without deduction by such Investor for any withholding taxes. If such Investor shall repay to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Investor’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d)   After the Issuers deliver an Advance Request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, the Funding Agents, on behalf of the relevant Investors, may, not later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing date, deliver a written notice (a “Delayed Funding Notice”, and the date of such delivery, the “Delayed Funding Notice

Date”) to the Issuers of their intention to fund the related Borrowing (such amount, the “Delayed Amount”) on a date (the date of such funding, the “Delayed Funding Date”) that is on or before the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the date of such request for a Borrowing (or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day) rather than on the requested Borrowing date; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate unfunded Delayed Amount at any time exceed 100% of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount. By delivery of a Delayed Funding Notice, each Funding Agent shall be deemed to represent and warrant that (x) charges relating to the “liquidity coverage ratio” under Basel III have been incurred on the related Committed Note Purchaser’s interests or obligations hereunder and (y) it is seeking or has obtained a delayed funding option in transactions similar to the transactions contemplated hereby as of the date of such Delayed Funding Notice. The Funding Agent that delivers a Delayed Funding Notice with respect to any Borrowing date shall be referred to herein as a “Delaying Investor” with respect to such Borrowing date. If the conditions to any Borrowing described in Section 7.03 are satisfied on the requested Borrowing date, there shall be no conditions whatsoever (including, without limitation, the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Period, notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in Section 7.03) to the obligation of the Committed Note Purchasers to fund the requested amount on the related Delayed Funding Date.

SECTION 2.04   The Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes. On each date an Advance is made or a Letter of Credit is drawn on hereunder, and on each date the outstanding amount thereof is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the related Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Noteholder shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount, evidenced by the related Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Note of such Advance or Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Note of such drawn Letter of Credit, as applicable, and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The Issuers hereby authorize each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Noteholder to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Noteholder and the records maintained by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and the Series 2025-2 Supplement, such discrepancy shall be resolved between such Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee (in consultation with the Issuers), and such resolution shall control in the absence of manifest error; provided, further, that the failure of any such notation to be made, or any finding that a notation is incorrect, in any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Issuers under this Agreement or the Indenture.

SECTION 2.05   Reduction in Commitments.

(a)   The Issuers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice (or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and each Funding Agent (which will promptly notify the related Investor), effect a permanent reduction in the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Commitment Amount and Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis according to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount of each Investor Group; provided that (i) any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Commitments such that the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount shall not exceed the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount (after giving effect to any Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.02(d) on such date), (ii) any such reduction must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and (iii) after giving effect to such reduction, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount equals or exceeds $5,000,000, unless reduced to zero, and (iv) no such reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, (w) the aggregate L/C Commitments (after giving effect to any decrease thereof on such date) would exceed 10% of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount, (x) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount (excluding any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts with respect to which cash collateral is held by the Letter of

Credit Provider pursuant to Section 4.03(b)) or (y) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the L/C Commitment.

(b)   If any of the following events shall occur, then the Commitment Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced on the dates and in the amounts set forth below with respect to the applicable event and the other consequences set forth below with respect to the applicable event shall ensue (and the Issuers shall give the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, each Funding Agent and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent prompt written notice thereof):

(i)   if the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes has not been paid in full or otherwise refinanced in full (which refinancing may also include an extension thereof) by the Business Day immediately preceding the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Anticipated Repayment Date, (A) on such Business Day, (x) the principal amount of all then-outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances made on such date (and the Issuers shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made), and (y) the L/C Commitment shall both be automatically and permanently reduced to zero, and (B) (x) all undrawn portions of the Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate and the corresponding portions of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced by a corresponding amount (with respect to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts, on a pro rata basis) and (y) each payment of principal on the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount occurring on or following such Business Day (excluding the repayment of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings with proceeds of Advances pursuant to clause (A) above) shall result automatically and permanently in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis;

(ii)   if a Rapid Amortization Period has occurred and is continuing prior to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Anticipated Repayment Date, then (A) on the date such Rapid Amortization Period occurs, all undrawn portions of the Commitments shall automatically be reduced to zero (other than as set forth in clause (B)) for so long as such Rapid Amortization Period has occurred and is continuing, and the corresponding portions of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically reduced by a corresponding amount (with respect to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts, on a pro rata basis) and (B) no later than the second Business Day after the occurrence of such Rapid Amortization Period, the principal amount of all then-outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings (to the extent not otherwise repaid) shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances (and the Issuers shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made) and all the unused portions of the L/C Commitment (including such amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings repaid by such Advances) shall be automatically reduced to zero, and (C) each payment of principal (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) on the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount occurring on or after the date on which such Rapid Amortization Period has occurred and is continuing (excluding the repayment of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings with proceeds of Advances pursuant to clause (B) above) shall result automatically in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis; provided, that if the Rapid Amortization Period is no longer continuing, the Commitments and L/C Commitment shall be restored to the full extent reduced pursuant to this subclause (ii) except to the extent voluntarily reduced by the Issuers pursuant to Section 2.05(a); and

(iii)   if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (and shall not have been waived in accordance with the Indenture), then, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount, the Commitment Amounts, the L/C Commitment and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall all be automatically and permanently reduced to zero for so long as such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Issuers shall (in accordance with the Indenture) cause the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount to be paid in full (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) together with accrued interest, accrued Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Undrawn Commitment Fees, Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Other Amounts and all other amounts then due and payable to the Investors, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in each case subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including the Priority of Payments.

SECTION 2.06   L/C Commitment.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Letter of Credit Provider (or its permitted successors and assigns pursuant to Section 9.17), in reliance on the agreements of the Committed Note Purchasers set forth in Sections 2.07 and 2.08, agrees to provide Liquidity Reserve Letters of Credit or other standby letters of credit requested by Issuers and agreed upon by Letter of Credit Provider in its sole discretion (together with the Liquidity Reserve Letters of Credit each, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Issuers or their designee on any Business Day at any time until the date that is thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date to be issued in accordance with Section 2.06(b) in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Letter of Credit Provider; provided that the Letter of Credit Provider shall have no obligation or right to provide any Letter of Credit on a requested issuance date if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, or (ii) the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount.

Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars, (y) have a face amount of at least $500,000 or, if less than $500,000, shall bear a reasonable administrative fee to be agreed upon by the Issuers and the Letter of Credit Provider and (z) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (B) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Required Expiration Date”); provided that, any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extensions thereof for additional periods, each individually not to exceed one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the Required Expiration Date) unless the Letter of Credit Provider notifies each beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the then-applicable expiration date (or no later than the applicable notice date, if earlier, as specified in such Letter of Credit) that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed; provided, further, that any Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is later than the Required Expiration Date so long as either (x) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit has been fully cash collateralized by the Issuers in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03 as of the Required Expiration Date and there are no other outstanding L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit as of the Required Expiration Date or (y) other than with respect to Liquidity Reserve Letters of Credit, arrangements satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Provider in its sole and absolute discretion have been made with the Letter of Credit Provider (and, if the Letter of Credit Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 4.04 such that such Letter of Credit shall cease to be deemed outstanding or to be deemed a “Letter of Credit” for purposes of this Agreement as of the Commitment Termination Date.

Additionally, each Series 2025-2 Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit shall (1) name the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, as the joint beneficiaries thereof; (2) allow either the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, individually and not jointly, to submit a notice of drawing in respect of such Series 2025-2 Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit whenever amounts would otherwise be required to be withdrawn from the Liquidity Reserve Account, pursuant to the Indenture; and (3) indicate by its

terms that the proceeds in respect of drawings under such Series 2025-2 Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit shall be paid directly into the Liquidity Reserve Account or otherwise used to pay Required Liquidity Reserve Draw Amounts in accordance with Sections 5.01(c) of the Indenture.

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

(a)   On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement (including Section 7.03), and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Issuers shall issue and shall cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Notes, which the Issuers shall deliver to the Letter of Credit Providers on the Series 2025-2 Closing Date; provided that, if such Series 2025-2 Class L/C Note is an Uncertificated Note, the Indenture Trustee shall instead register it as described in the Indenture. Such Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Note shall be dated the Series 2025-2 Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the Letter of Credit Provider or in such other name or nominee as the Letter of Credit Provider may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the L/C Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to $0 and (unless it is an Uncertificated Note) shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.  The Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Notes shall be Variable Funding Notes payable in accordance with the Indenture and this Agreement.

Each drawing on a Letter of Credit after the Series 2025-2 Closing Date will constitute a Borrowing in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Note in an amount corresponding to the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of such Letter of Credit and shall be deemed to be a Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding L/C Subfacility Amount. All L/C Obligations (whether in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings) shall be deemed to be principal outstanding under the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Note and shall be deemed to be Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amounts (in the form of Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding L/C Subfacility Amount) for all purposes of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents other than, in the case of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts, for the purposes of accrual of interest. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each drawing of a Letter of Credit will constitute a “L/C Subfacility Increase” in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Note and reimbursements of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings thereunder will constitute a “L/C Subfacility Decrease” in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Note. Each Letter of Credit Provider and the Issuers agree to promptly notify the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee of any such decreases for which notice to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent is not otherwise provided hereunder.

(b)   The Issuers may (or shall cause the Manager on their behalf to) from time to time request that any Letter of Credit Provider provide a new Letter of Credit by delivering to the Letter of Credit Provider at its address for notices specified herein an application therefor in the form required by the applicable Letter of Credit Provider (who shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to the relevant L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) (an “Application”), completed to the satisfaction of the Letter of Credit Provider, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Letter of Credit Provider may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any completed Application, the Letter of Credit Provider will notify the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee in writing of the amount, the beneficiary or beneficiaries and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall comply with Section 2.06(a) and (i)) and, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and upon receipt of written confirmation from the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding L/C Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, solely on written

notices received by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent under this Agreement) that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount (provided that the Letter of Credit Provider shall be entitled to rely upon any written statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent for purposes of determining whether the Letter of Credit Provider received such prior written confirmation from the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit), the Letter of Credit Provider will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered in connection therewith to be processed in accordance with the L/C Issuing Bank’s customary procedures and shall promptly provide the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Letter of Credit Provider be required to provide any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto, as provided in Section 2.06(a)) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Letter of Credit Provider and the Issuers. The Letter of Credit Provider shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Manager (with a copy to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. Each Letter of Credit Provider shall promptly furnish to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Funding Agents, the Investors, and the Indenture Trustee, written notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(c)   The Issuers shall pay to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Committed Note Purchaser (based on their respective Committed Note Purchaser Percentages), the “L/C Participation Fees” as defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Fee Letter, and subject to the Priority of Payments. In addition, the Issuers shall pay to (or reimburse) each Letter of Credit Provider, for its own account (or for the account of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank) the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Letter of Credit Provider relating to Letters of Credit issued or maintained by such Letter of Credit Provider (or the applicable L/C Issuing Bank), in each case as may be agreed in writing between the Issuers and such Letter of Credit Provider and from time to time in effect, and which such customary fees and standard costs and charges shall accrue during the applicable Interest Accrual Period and be payable in arrears on each Payment Date from and after the Series 2025-2 Closing Date and prior to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Termination Date in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture and subject to the Priority of Payments.

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

(e)   The Issuers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Provider, effect a permanent reduction in the related L/C Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the L/C Commitment. If requested by the Issuers in writing and with the prior written consent of the Letter of Credit Provider and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Provider may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the L/C Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of each of the Outstanding Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

(f)   Each Letter of Credit Provider shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 2.06 with respect to providing any Letter of Credit hereunder by issuing such Letter of Credit itself or through an Affiliate as long as any such Letter of Credit issued would not be an Ineligible Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit. If any such Letter of Credit would be an Ineligible Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit, a Person selected by the Issuers (at the reasonable expense of the Issuers) shall issue such Letter of Credit; provided that any Letter of Credit issued by such Person would not be an Ineligible Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit (the Letter of Credit Provider (or such Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Provider) or such other

Person selected by the Issuers (at the reasonable expense of the Issuers), in each case in its capacity as the issuer of such Letter of Credit being referred to as the “L/C Issuing Bank” with respect to such Letter of Credit).

(g)   Each of the parties hereto shall execute any amendments to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Issuers in order to have any Letter of Credit issued by a Person selected by the Issuers pursuant to Section 2.06(f) to be a “Letter of Credit” that has been issued hereunder and such Person selected by the Issuers be an “L/C Issuing Bank”.

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

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

(j)   For the avoidance of doubt, the L/C Commitment shall be a sub-facility limit of the Commitment Amounts and aggregate outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as of any date of determination shall be a component of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount on such date of determination, pursuant to the definition thereof.

(k)   Notwithstanding anything in the contrary herein, each Series 2025-2 Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit (including all drawings thereunder) shall be subject to Sections 4.05(b), (c), (d), (e), (g) and (j) of the Indenture in all respects.

SECTION 2.07   L/C Reimbursement Obligations.

(a)   For the purpose of reimbursing the payment of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the Issuers agree to pay the Letter of Credit Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, the sum of (i) the amount of such draft so paid (such amount at any time, as reduced by repayments with respect thereto as described below and amounts repaid with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(b) at or prior to such time the “L/C Reimbursement Amount”) and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses (including amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02(c) and such amount at any time, as reduced by repayments with respect thereto as described below and amounts repaid with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(b) at or prior to such time, collectively, the “L/C Other Reimbursement Costs”) incurred by the L/C Issuing Bank in connection with such payment, which shall be paid (1) in the case of the L/C Reimbursement Amount, in same day funds on the day on which the Letter of Credit Provider notifies the Issuers and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent (and in each case the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day as its receipt of the same, notify the Funding Agents) of the date and the amount of such draft, and (2) in the case of L/C Other Reimbursement Costs, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amount and L/C Other Reimbursement Costs shall be evidenced by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Notes until repaid (or, in the case of the L/C Reimbursement Amount, converted to a Base Rate Advance)

as set forth herein. Unless the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect thereto is repaid as set forth in the second preceding sentence, each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Issuers or the Guarantors, in which cases the procedures specified in Section 2.08 for funding by Committed Note Purchasers shall apply) constitute a request by the Issuers to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent for a Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of the unreimbursed L/C Reimbursement Amount, and the Issuers shall be deemed to have made such request pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The applicable L/C Other Reimbursement Costs shall be paid as Class A-1-V Notes Other Amounts subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. In the event such request for a Base Rate Advance is deemed to have been given, the applicable Investors in each Investor Group hereby agree to make Advances in an aggregate amount for each Investor Group equal to such Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount and L/C Other Reimbursement Costs to pay the Letter of Credit Provider and the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 shall not apply to such Advance. The Borrowing date with respect to such Base Rate Advance shall be the first date on which a Base Rate Borrowing could be made pursuant to Section 2.03 if the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent had received a notice of such Borrowing at the time the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent receives notice from the Letter of Credit Provider of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Borrowing date and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent to the Letter of Credit Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, for application to the reimbursement of such drawing.

(b)   The Issuers’ obligations under Section 2.07(a) shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Issuers may have or has had against the applicable Letter of Credit Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (iii) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that substantially complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of any jurisdictions, so long as such Person has a reasonable belief to make such payment, or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.07(b), provide a right of setoff against, the Issuers’ obligations hereunder. The Issuers also agree that the Letter of Credit Provider and the L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Issuers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.07(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Issuers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Issuers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the Letter of Credit Provider nor the L/C Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Issuers to the extent permitted by applicable law) caused by errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Issuers agree that any action taken or omitted by the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as found by a final

and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction) and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Issuers and shall not result in any liability of the Letter of Credit Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank to the Issuers. As between the Issuers and the L/C Issuing Bank, the Issuers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such beneficiary’s or transferee’s use of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Issuers agree with the L/C Issuing Bank that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In connection with each Series 2025-2 Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit, the Indenture Trustee as beneficiary shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Indenture limiting the liability of or affording rights, benefits, protections, immunities or indemnities to the Indenture Trustee as if they were expressly set forth herein mutatis mutandis.

(c)   If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit for which the Letter of Credit Provider has actual knowledge, the Letter of Credit Provider shall promptly notify the Manager, the Issuers and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank to the Issuers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit and, in paying such draft, such L/C Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person(s) executing or delivering any such document.

SECTION 2.08   L/C Participations.

(a)   Each Letter of Credit Provider irrevocably grants to each Committed Note Purchaser, and, to induce the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) to provide Letters of Credit hereunder, each Committed Note Purchaser irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Committed Note Purchaser’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of obligations and rights of the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) under and in respect of each Letter of Credit provided hereunder and the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to each draft paid or reimbursed by the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) in connection therewith. Subject to Section 2.06(a), each Committed Note Purchaser unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Letter of Credit Provider that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) is not paid in full by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent upon demand of the Letter of Credit Provider an amount equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so paid.

(b)   If any amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent for forwarding to the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) pursuant to Section 2.08(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent for forwarding to the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) on the date such payment is due, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent for forwarding to the Letter of

Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.08(a) is not made available to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent by such Committed Note Purchaser on the date such payment is due, the Letter of Credit Provider shall be entitled to recover from such Committed Note Purchaser, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Base Rate. A certificate of the Letter of Credit Provider submitted to any Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.08(b), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on such Committed Note Purchaser. Such amounts payable under this Section 2.08(b) shall be paid without any deduction for any withholding taxes.

(c)   Whenever, at any time after payment has been made under any Letter of Credit and the applicable Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) has received from any Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.08(a), the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Issuers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), as the case may be, will distribute to such Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) such Committed Note Purchaser shall return to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable) the portion thereof previously distributed by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Provider (or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable), as the case may be, to it.

(d)   Each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.07(a) and to pay its pro rata share of any unreimbursed draft pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Committed Note Purchaser or the Issuers may have against the Letter of Credit Provider, any L/C Issuing Bank, the Issuers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Letter of Credit was issued; (iii) an adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by the Issuers or any other Person; (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit in compliance with this Agreement or with the terms of such Letter of Credit, as applicable; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(a)   Upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice (or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, each Funding Agent and each Investor), the Lead Issuer may deliver notice substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (or such other form reasonably satisfactory to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent) (each, a “Commitment Increase Notice”) to effect an increase in the aggregate Commitment Amount

(f)   All computations of interest at the CP Rate and the Term SOFR Rate, all computations of Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Post-ARD Additional Interest (other than any accruing on any Base Rate Advances) and all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. All computations of interest at the Base Rate and all computations of Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Post-ARD Additional Interest accruing on any Base Rate Advances shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed.  Whenever any payment of interest, principal or fees hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day unless specified otherwise in the Indenture and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest owed.  Interest shall accrue on each Advance and Unreimbursed L/C Drawing from and including the day on which it is made to but excluding the date of repayment thereof.

SECTION 3.03   SOFR Lending Unlawful.

SECTION 3.04   Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)  Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto have occurred prior to the Reference Time in connection with any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes under this Agreement and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(b)  Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation or administration of Term SOFR or a Benchmark Replacement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and the Issuers may agree to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c)  Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and the Issuers pursuant to this Section 3.04, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

SECTION 3.05   Increased Costs, etc. The Issuers agree to reimburse each Investor and any Program Support Provider (each, an “Affected Person”, which term, for the purposes of Section 3.07 and 3.08 shall also include the L/C Issuing Bank) for any increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital, in respect of funding or maintaining (or of its obligation to fund or maintain) any Advances that arise in connection with any Change in Law which shall:

(i)   impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person; or

(ii)   impose on any Affected Person any other condition affecting this Agreement or SOFR Advances made by such Affected Person or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

except for such Changes in Law with respect to increased capital costs and Class A-1-V Taxes which shall be governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively (whether or not amounts are payable thereunder in respect thereof).  Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and the Issuers in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount of return; provided that any such demand claiming reimbursement for increased costs resulting from a Change in Law described in clause (x) or (y) above shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Affected Person’s method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Affected Person’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation, is consistent with, or more favorable than, its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are substantially similar to the Issuers and which are subject to similar provisions. Such additional amounts (“Increased Costs”) shall be paid by the Issuers to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent as Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such written notice is received, and by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent pursuant to written direction and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Issuers; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Issuers under this Section 3.05 the Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such Increased Costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

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

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

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

(c)   any failure of the Issuers to make a Voluntary Decrease, prepayment or redemption with respect to any SOFR Advance after giving notice thereof pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture;

then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and the Issuers, the Issuers shall pay to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, in the form of Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such written notice is received, and by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent pursuant to written direction and such Funding Agent shall pay directly to such Affected Person such amount (“Breakage Amount” or “Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Breakage Amount”) as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense.  With respect to any notice given to the Issuers under this Section 3.06 the Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such notice. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Issuers.

SECTION 3.07   Increased Capital or Liquidity Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or under a Program Support Agreement or the Advances or Letters of Credit made or issued by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person (or in the case of an L/C Issuing Bank, by the Letter of Credit Provider) to the related Funding Agent and the Issuers (or, in the case of any Letter of Credit Provider, to the Issuers), the Issuers shall pay to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, in the form of Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which the Issuers receive such written notice, and by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent pursuant to written direction to such Funding Agent (or, in the case of the Letter of Credit Provider, directly to such Person) and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person, such amounts (“Increased Capital Costs”) as will be sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or the Advances made or issued by such Affected Person; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Issuers under this Section 3.07 the Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such notice; provided, further, if the Change in Law giving rise to such Increased Capital Costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuers. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions.  

For purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.05 and this Section 3.07, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, guidelines or directives issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted subsequent to the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

SECTION 3.08   Taxes.

(a)   Except as otherwise required by law, all payments by the Issuers of principal of, and interest on, the Advances and the Unreimbursed L/C Drawings and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges in the nature of a tax imposed by any taxing authority including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, fees, duties, withholdings and other charges, and including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto, being called “Class A-1-V Taxes”), but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (i) net income, franchise (imposed in lieu of net income) or similar Class A-1-V Taxes (and including branch profits or alternative minimum Class A-1-V Taxes) and any other Class A-1-V Taxes imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a present or former connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing such Class A-1-V Taxes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), (ii) any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Affected Person at the time the Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Issuers with respect to such withholding tax, (iii) any taxes imposed under FATCA, (iv) any backup withholding tax and (v) any Class A-1-V Taxes imposed as a result of such Affected Person’s failure to comply with Section 3.08(d) (such Class A-1-V Taxes not excluded by (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Class A-1-V Taxes are imposed and required by law to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Issuers hereunder to an Affected Person, then, (x) the Issuers shall withhold the amount of such Class A-1-V Taxes from such payment (as increased, if applicable, pursuant to the following clause (y)) and shall pay such amount, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the taxing authority imposing such Class A-1-V Taxes in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Class A-1-V Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of the payment shall be increased so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount equal to the sum that would have been received by the Affected Person had no such deduction or withholding been required.

(b)   Moreover, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person or its agent with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from the Issuers or otherwise in respect of any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated therein, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Issuers shall pay to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, in the form of Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which the related Funding Agent and the Issuers receive written notice stating the amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent shall pay to such Funding Agent pursuant to written direction from such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay directly to such Affected Persons such additional amounts (collectively, “Increased Tax Costs,” which term shall include all amounts payable by or on behalf of the Issuers pursuant to this Section 3.08) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person or agent after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes on

such Increased Tax Costs) shall equal the amount such Person would have retained had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been asserted. Any amount payable to an Affected Person under this Section 3.08 shall be reduced by, and Increased Tax Costs shall not include, the amount of incremental damages (including Class A-1-V Taxes) due or payable by the Issuers as a direct result of such Affected Person’s failure to demand from the Issuers additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08 within 180 days from the date on which the related Non-Excluded Taxes were incurred.

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

(d) Each Affected Person and Funding Agent on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable after the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form or document previously delivered) or within a reasonable period of time following a written request by the Issuers or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, shall deliver to the Issuers and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-9, as applicable, or applicable successor form (together with all required attachments), or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable and as will permit the Issuers or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, in their reasonable determination, to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from or eligible for a reduced rate of withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes, including but not limited to such information necessary to claim the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, and to determine whether or not such Affected Person or Funding Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Promptly following the receipt of a written request by the Issuers or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, each Affected Person and Funding Agent shall deliver to the Issuers and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent any other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents) appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person or Funding Agent is exempt from withholding or deduction of Non-Excluded Taxes other than United States federal withholding taxes. The Issuers shall not be required to pay any increased amount under Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) to an Affected Person in respect of the withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes or other Non-Excluded Taxes imposed as the result of the failure or inability (other than as a result of a Change in Law) of such Affected Person to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.08(d). The Issuers and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent (or other withholding agent selected by the Issuers) may rely on any form or document provided pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) until notified otherwise by the Affected Person or the Funding Agent that delivered such form or document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Affected Person or Funding Agent shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a change in applicable law after the time the Affected Person or Funding Agent becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office).

(e)   If a payment made to an Affected Person or Funding Agent pursuant to this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person or Funding Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person or Funding Agent shall deliver to the Issuers and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent at

the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuers or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuers or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Issuers and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person or Funding Agent has complied with such Affected Person’s or Funding Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  For purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f)   Prior to the Series 2025-2 Closing Date, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent will provide the Issuers with a properly executed and completed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-9, as appropriate (together with all required attachments) of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent.

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

(h)   If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Issuers or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent or other withholding agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Class A-1-V Taxes from payments made to or for the account of any Affected Person, then to the extent such improper withholding or backup withholding was directly caused by such Affected Person’s actions or inactions, such Affected Person shall indemnify the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent for any Class A-1-V Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction as a result of such actions or inactions, and costs and expenses (including attorney costs) of the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Affected Persons, severally, under this Section 3.08 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Affected Person or the termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent.

(i)   The Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuers or any other withholding agent may deduct and withhold any Class A-1-V Taxes required by any laws to be deducted and withheld from any payments.

SECTION 3.09   Change of Lending Office. Each Committed Note Purchaser agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.05 or 3.07 or the payment of additional amounts to it under Section 3.08(a) or (b), in each case with respect to an Affected Person in such Committed Note Purchaser’s Investor Group, it will, if requested by the Issuers, use reasonable efforts

(subject to overall policy considerations of such Committed Note Purchaser) to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office for any Advances affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Committed Note Purchaser, cause such Committed Note Purchaser and its lending office(s) or the related Affected Person to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.09 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Issuers or the rights of any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.05, 3.07 and 3.08. If a Committed Note Purchaser notifies the Issuers in writing that such Committed Note Purchaser will be unable to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office, the Issuers may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Committed Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Issuers (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes or otherwise).

SECTION 3.10   Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 3.04, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period for any SOFR Advance the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Issuers and each Investor. Upon notice thereof by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent to the Issuer, any obligation of the Investors to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Issuers to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Base Rate Advances to SOFR Advances, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Interest Accrual Periods) until the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Issuers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Interest Accrual Periods) or, failing that, the Issuers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Upon any such conversion, the Issuers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.07. Subject to Section 3.04, if the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Advances shall be determined by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent without reference to clause (b)(iii) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

At any time during the Commitment Term, Commitments (other than the Commitments of any Defaulting Investor (including, for these purposes, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent following a Defaulting Agent Event) or its Affiliates) shall be deemed

to be fully drawn for purposes of any provision of the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents relating to any vote, consent, direction or the like to be given by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Noteholders as the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Noteholders or as Noteholders (it being understood and agreed that from and after the expiration of the Commitment Term, any such vote, consent, direction or the like shall be based on the portion of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Outstanding Principal Amount held by the applicable Investors (other than the portion held by any Defaulting Investor (including, for these purposes, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent following a Defaulting Agent Event) or its Affiliates), in each case in the manner set forth in the definition of “Required Investors”); such vote, consent, direction or the like shall be given by the Holders of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes only and not by the Holders of any Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Notes except to the extent that such vote, consent, direction or the like is to be given by each Required Investor and the Holders of any Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Notes would be affected thereby.

If a Committed Note Purchaser notifies the Issuers in writing that such Committed Note Purchaser either (I) will not consent to an amendment to or waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or (II) conditions its consent to such an amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement upon the payment of an amendment fee, the Issuers may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Committed Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, the Series 2025-2 Supplement, this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Issuers (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, the Series 2025-2 Supplement, this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes or otherwise).

(c)   The Issuers and the Investors shall negotiate any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents that require the consent of the Investors in good faith.

The Issuers agree to provide notice to each Investor Group of any amendment to this Agreement, regardless of whether the consent of such Investor is required for such amendment to become effective.

(d)   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amendment to this Agreement which has the effect of increasing the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes Maximum Principal Amount shall not be deemed to be an issuance of Additional Notes, but shall otherwise be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of Section 2.12(c) of the Indenture.

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

SECTION 9.03   Binding on Successors and Assigns.

(a)   This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Issuer, the Manager, the Investors, the Funding Agents, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither the Issuers nor the Manager may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of each Investor (other than any Defaulting Investor); provided, further, that nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers from assigning its rights (but none of its duties or liabilities) to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the Series 2025-2 Supplement; and provided, further, that none of the Investors may transfer, pledge, assign, sell participations in or otherwise encumber its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein except as permitted under Section 6.03 or Section 9.17 or this Section 9.03. Nothing expressed herein is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the Persons referred to in the preceding sentence any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement except as provided in Section 9.16.

(b)   Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Investor may at any time grant to one or more Program Support Providers a participating interest in or lien on such Investor’s interests in the Advances made hereunder and such Program Support Provider, with respect to its participating interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Investor under this Agreement. In addition, any Investor may at any time sell participations to any Person in all or a portion of such Investor’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes and the Advances made thereunder and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and such participant, with respect to its participating interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Investor under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Investor’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Investor shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Issuer, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and each other Investor shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Investor in connection with such Investor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.05, 3.07 or 3.08, with respect to any participation, than its participating Investor would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation so long as such Change in Law would apply equally to such participating Investor. Each Investor that grants to one or more Persons a participating interest in such Investor’s interests in the Advances in accordance with the terms hereof shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of such Person and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Person’s interest in the Advance (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Investor shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Person, or any information relating to a Person’s interest in the Advances) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Investor shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in

the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)   In addition to its rights under Section 9.17, each Conduit Investor may at any time assign its rights in the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes (and its rights hereunder and under the Transaction Documents) to its related Committed Note Purchaser or, subject to Section 6.03 and Section 9.17(d), its related Program Support Provider or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, each Conduit Investor may at any time grant a security interest in and lien on, all or any portion of its interests under this Agreement, its Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Note and all Transaction Documents to (i) its related Committed Note Purchaser, (ii) its Funding Agent, (iii) any Program Support Provider who, at any time now or in the future, provides program liquidity or credit enhancement, including, without limitation, an insurance policy for such Conduit Investor relating to the Commercial Paper or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes, (iv) any other Person who, at any time now or in the future, provides liquidity or credit enhancement for the Conduit Investors, including, without limitation, an insurance policy relating to the Commercial Paper or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes, (v) any collateral trustee or collateral agent for any of the foregoing or (vi) a trustee or collateral agent for the benefit of the holders of the commercial paper notes or other senior indebtedness of such Conduit Investor appointed pursuant to such Conduit Investor’s program documents; provided, however, that any such security interest or lien shall be released upon assignment of its Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Note to its related Committed Note Purchaser. Each Committed Note Purchaser may assign its Commitment, or all or any portion of its interest under its Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Note, this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to any Person to the extent permitted by Section 9.17. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement, each Committed Note Purchaser may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Note and the Transaction Documents in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board or any similar foreign entity.

The obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, including any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director, member, affiliate or incorporator (or Person similar to an incorporator under state business organization laws) of any Conduit Investor; provided, however, nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from any liability that any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c)   The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any fees, costs, indemnified amounts or expenses payable by a Conduit Investor pursuant to this Agreement (“Conduit Investor Amounts”) shall be payable only in accordance with the order of priorities set forth in such Conduit Investor’s commercial paper program documents and no Conduit Investor shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder in excess of any amount received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and available to such Conduit Investor after paying or making provision for the payment of its commercial paper notes; provided, however, that each Committed Note Purchaser shall pay any Conduit Investor Amounts, on behalf of any Conduit Investor in such Committed Note Purchaser’s Investor Group, as and when due hereunder, to the extent that such Conduit Investor is precluded by its commercial paper program documents from paying such Conduit Investor Amounts in accordance with this Agreement.

(d)   Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Investor shall be obligated to pay any fees, costs, indemnified amounts or expenses due pursuant to this Agreement other than in accordance with the order of priorities set out in such Conduit Investor’s commercial paper program documents and all payment obligations of each Conduit Investor hereunder are contingent on the availability of funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and in excess of the amounts necessary to pay its commercial paper notes. Any such amount which any Conduit Investor does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against or corporate obligation of such Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency unless and until funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and are available for the payment of such amounts as aforesaid.

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

An “Eligible Assignee” shall mean a financial institution that is rated at least “BBB-” from S&P and/or has the equivalent rating of another “nationally-recognized statistical rating organization” registered with the SEC as of the date of the assignment that is not a Competitor. A “Competitor” shall mean any Person engaged primarily in the business of owning and operating fiber conduit networks or similar structures or other activities entered into in furtherance of the foregoing; provided, that (x) a Person will not be a Competitor solely by virtue of such Person’s direct or indirect ownership of less than 5% of the equity interests in a “Competitor” and (y) a Person will not be a “Competitor” if such Person is a bank, financial institution, insurance company, or any other entity managed by registered investment advisors who regularly engage in making, purchasing or investing in commercial loans.

(b)   Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(d), each Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor and its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such Conduit Investor, without the prior written consent of the Issuer.

Upon such assignment by a Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor, (ii) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties, in each case relating to the Commercial Paper and/or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Conduit Investor herein and in the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under the Indenture or under any other Transaction Document with respect to such portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount and such Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, (v) all distributions in respect of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Funding Rate” with respect to the portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor, as applicable, funded or maintained with commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Funding Rate” applicable to such Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to Commercial Paper issued by or for the benefit of such Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Conduit Investor), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Funding Agent with respect to such Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by any Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Committed Note Purchasers in the same Investor Group as such Conduit Investor under Section 2.03 to fund any Borrowing not funded by such Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee.

(c)   Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(d), any Conduit Investor and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) may at any time sell all or any part of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Issuers and Letter of Credit Provider to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper is rated at least “A-1-V” (or then equivalent grade) from S&P, and one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (an “Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (or such other form reasonably satisfactory to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent) (the “Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Acquiring Investor Group, the Funding Agent with respect to such Acquiring Investor Group (including the Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Investor Group), such assigning Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Conduit Investor, the Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Conduit Investor and Committed Note Purchasers, Letter of Credit Provider, and the Issuers and delivered to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Issuers shall be required for an assignment to another Committed Note Purchaser or any Affiliate of a Committed Note Purchaser and its related Conduit Investor or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.17(c) is intended to permit and provide for (i) assignments from a Committed Note Purchaser to a Conduit Investor in a different Investor Group and (ii) assignments from a Conduit Investor to a Committed Note Purchaser in a different Investor group, and, in each of (i) and (ii), the Investor Group Supplement shall be revised to reflect such assignments.

(d)   Any assignment of the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Series 2025-2 Supplement.

(e)   Subject to Sections 6.04 and 9.17(d), the Letter of Credit Provider may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V L/C Note with the prior written consent of the Issuers and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed that withholding consent to a proposed assignment to any financial institution as to which any Letter of Credit would be an Ineligible Liquidity Reserve Letter of Credit shall not be deemed unreasonable) to a financial institution pursuant to an agreement with, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and the Issuer, whereupon the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent so assigned; provided that no consent of the Issuers shall be required if a Rapid Amortization Period or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 9.18   Defaulting Investors.

(a)   The Issuers may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Defaulting Investor and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent, (i) require any Defaulting Investor to sell all of its rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to an assignee; provided that (x) such assignment is made in compliance with Section 9.17 and (y) such Defaulting Investor shall have received from such assignee an amount equal to such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder or (ii) remove any Defaulting Investor as an Investor by paying to such Defaulting Investor an amount equal to such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder.

(b)   In the event that a Defaulting Investor desires to sell all or any portion of it rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to an unaffiliated third party assignee for an amount less than 100% (or, if only a portion of such rights, obligations and commitments are proposed to be sold, such portion) of such Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder, such Defaulting Investor shall promptly notify the Issuers of the proposed sale (the “Sale Notice”). Each Sale Notice shall certify that such Defaulting Investor has received a firm offer from the prospective unaffiliated third party and shall contain the material terms of the proposed sale, including, without limitation, the purchase price of the proposed sale and the portion of such Defaulting Investor’s rights, obligations and commitments proposed to be sold. The Issuers and any of their Affiliates shall have an option for a period of three (3) Business Days from the date the Sale Notice is given to elect to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments at the same price and subject to the same material terms as described in the Sale Notice. The Issuers or any of their Affiliates may exercise such purchase option by notifying such Defaulting Investor before expiration of such three (3) Business Day period that it wishes to purchase all (but not a portion) of the rights, obligations and commitments of such Defaulting Investor proposed to be sold to such unaffiliated third party. If any of the Issuers or any of their Affiliates gives notice to such Defaulting Investor that it desires to purchase such, rights, obligations and commitments, the Issuers or such Affiliate shall promptly pay the purchase price to such Defaulting Investor. If any of the Issuers or any of their Affiliates does not respond to any Sale Notice within such three (3) Business Days period, the Issuers and their Affiliates shall be deemed not to have exercised such purchase option.

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

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

(ii)   Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to the account of such Defaulting Investor (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied (and the Issuers shall instruct the Indenture Trustee or the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent to apply such amounts) as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to each Letter of Credit Provider hereunder; third, to provide cash collateral to the Letter of Credit Providers in an amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; fourth, as the Issuers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Issuer; fifth, if so determined by the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and the Issuers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order (x) to satisfy such Defaulting Investor’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) to provide cash collateral to the Letter of Credit Providers in an amount equal to the amount of any future Undrawn L/C Face Amounts multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Investors or the Letter of Credit Provider as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Investor against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Issuers against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Investor or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or any extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.07(a) owed to, all non-Defaulting Investors on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.08(a) owed to, such Defaulting Investor until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Unreimbursed L/C Drawings are held by the Investors pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 9.18(c)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Investor that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Investor or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 9.18(c)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Investor, and each Investor irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)   All or any part of such Defaulting Investor’s participation in Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Investors pro rata based on their Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Investor’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Issuers shall have otherwise notified the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent at such time, the Issuers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause

the product of (1) any non-Defaulting Investor’s related Investor Group Principal Amount on such date, multiplied by (2) such non-Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage, to exceed such non-Defaulting Investor’s Commitment Amount. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Investor arising from that Investor having become a Defaulting Investor, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Investor as a result of such non-Defaulting Investor’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(d)   If the Issuers, the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Provider agree in writing that an Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, the Issuers will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Investor will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Investors or take such other actions as the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Investors in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Investor will cease to be a Defaulting Investor; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Issuers while that Investor was a Defaulting Investor; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Investor to Investor will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Investor’s having been a Defaulting Investor.

Each of the Manager, the Issuers and the Asset Entities acknowledge and agree that in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, or any other services the Investors may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Investors: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between any of the Manager, the Issuers and the Asset Entities and any other person, on the one hand, and the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates (or any agent, adviser or representative of any of the foregoing), on the other, exists; (b) the Investors are not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Manager, the Issuers or the Asset Entities, and such relationship between any of the Manager, the Issuers or the Asset Entities, on the one hand, and the Investors or any of their respective affiliates (or any agent, adviser or representative of any of the foregoing), on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Investors may have to the Manager and any of the Issuers and the Asset Entities shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; (d) the Investors and their respective affiliates (or any agent, adviser or representative of any of the foregoing) may have interests that differ from those of the Manager or any of the Issuers and the Asset Entities; and (e) the Manager and the Issuers and the Asset Entities have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. Each of the Manager, the Issuers and the Asset Entities hereby waive any claims that Manager, the Issuers or the Asset Entities may have against the Investors with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes.

(i)   the representations and warranties of the Issuers, the Asset Entities and the Manager, as applicable, in any other Transaction Document to which any of the Issuers, the Asset Entities and the Manager, as applicable, is a party are true and correct (A) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects (after giving effect to any such materiality qualifier), and (B) if not so qualified, in all material respects, on and as of the Series 2025-2 Closing Date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct (x) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects (after giving effect to any such materiality qualifier), and (y) if not so qualified, in all material respects, as of such earlier date), and the Issuers, the Asset Entities and the Manager, as applicable, has complied in all material respects with all its agreements contained herein and in any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder or thereunder at or prior to the Series 2025-2 Closing Date; and

(i)   The Manager, the Issuers and the Asset Entities shall have executed and delivered the Management Agreement, and the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed copy thereof.

(l)   The Manager, each Asset Entities and the Issuers shall have furnished to the Funding Agents a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Funding Agents and dated as of the Series 2025-2 Closing Date, of the chief financial officer of such entity (or other officers reasonably satisfactory to the Funding Agents) that such entity will be Solvent (as defined below) immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that in the case of each Asset Entity, the liabilities of the other Asset Entities with respect to debts, liabilities and obligations for which such Asset Entity is jointly and severally liable shall be taken into account. As used herein, “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date (i) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets of the relevant entity are not less than the total amount required to pay the probable liabilities of such entity on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured, (ii) the relevant entity is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business, (iii) assuming the completion of the transactions contemplated by the

SCHEDULE IV TO CLASS A-1-V

NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

U.S. RISK RETENTION DISCLOSURE

Uniti Fiber Holdings Inc. (as used in this Schedule IV, the “Manager”) hereby makes the following disclosure to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Noteholders as of the date hereof pursuant to Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. Part 246 (the “U.S. Risk Retention Rules”):

The U.S. Risk Retention Rules require the “sponsor” of a “securitization transaction” (or a “majority-owned affiliate” of the sponsor) (each as defined in the U.S. Risk Retention Rules) to retain an economic interest in the credit risk of securitized assets in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Risk Retention Rules. To comply with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, the Manager, as sponsor of the securitization transaction involving the Series 2025-2 Term Notes, intends to retain an “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as defined in the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, an “EHRI”) through the Lead HoldCo Guarantor, a majority-owned affiliate, in the form of the a class of membership interests in the Lead Issuer classified pursuant the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Lead Issuer, dated as of the Series 2025-2 Closing Date (the “Issuer LLC Agreement”), as Series 2025-2 Class R Interests (the “U.S. Retained Interest”), in accordance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules. An EHRI is defined under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules as, with respect to any securitization transaction, an ABS Interest in the issuing entity: (1) that is an interest in a single class or multiple classes in the issuing entity, provided that each interest meets, individually or in the aggregate, all of the requirements of this definition; (2) with respect to which, on any payment date or allocation date on which the issuing entity has insufficient funds to satisfy its obligation to pay all contractual interest or principal due, any resulting shortfall will reduce amounts payable to the eligible horizontal residual interest prior to any reduction in the amounts payable to any other ABS Interest, whether through loss allocation, operation of the priority of payments, or any other governing contractual provision (until the amount of such ABS Interest is reduced to zero); and (3) that, with the exception of any non-economic REMIC (as defined in 26 U.S.C. 860D) residual interest, has the most subordinated claim to payments of both principal and interest by the issuing entity.

An “ABS Interest” is defined under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules as: (1) any type of interest or obligation issued by an issuing entity, whether or not in certificated form, including a security, obligation, beneficial interest or residual interest (other than (i) a non-economic residual interest issued by a REMIC or (ii) an uncertificated regular interest in a REMIC that is held by another REMIC, where both REMICs are part of the same structure and a single REMIC in that structure issues ABS Interests to investors), payments on which are primarily dependent on the cash flows of the collateral owned or held by the issuing entity; and (2) does not include common or preferred stock, limited liability interests, partnership interests, trust certificates, or similar interests that: (i) are issued primarily to evidence ownership of the issuing entity; and (ii) the payments, if any, on which are not primarily dependent on the cash flows of the collateral held by the issuing entity; and (3) does not include the right to receive payments for services provided by the holder of such right, including servicing, trustee services and custodial services.

Under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, the EHRI must have a fair value equal to at least 5% of the fair value of all ABS Interests in the Lead Issuer issued as part of the securitization transaction. Such fair value is determined as of the closing date for the securitization transaction using a fair value measurement framework under GAAP. The Issuer’s ABS Interests issued as part of the Issuer’s securitization transaction described in this Offering Memorandum are (i) the Series 2025-2 Notes and (ii) the U.S. Retained Interest.

Under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, the sponsor (or a majority-owned affiliate of the sponsor) is required to retain the EHRI until the latest of (i) the second anniversary of the Series 2025-2 Closing Date,

(ii) the date on which the total unpaid principal balance (if applicable) of the securitized assets that collateralize this securitization transaction has been reduced to 33% of the total unpaid principal balance of such securitized assets as of the cut-off for this securitization transaction, and (iii) the date the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2025-2 Term Notes, (y) the Series 2025-2 VFN Commitment and (z) the principal amount of the U.S. Retained Interest has been reduced to 33% or less of the sum of (1) the initial aggregate principal amount of the Series 2025-2 Term Notes as of the Series 2025-2 Closing Date, (2) the Series 2025-2 VFN Commitment as of the Series 2025-2 Closing Date and (3) the principal amount of the U.S. Retained Interest as of the Series 2025-2 Closing Date (such latest date, the “Sunset Date”). None of the sponsor or any of its majority-owned affiliates may sell, transfer, hedge or pledge the EHRI during this period other than as permitted by the U.S. Risk Retention Rules. The Guarantor is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, and thus is a majority-owned affiliate of the Manager under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules.

As described more fully below, the fair value of the U.S. Retained Interest on the Series 2025-2 Closing Date will be at least 5% of the fair value of all ABS Interests of the Lead Issuer issued as part of the securitization transaction involving the issuance of the Series 2025-2 Term Notes on the Series 2025-2 Closing Date described in this Offering Memorandum.

The U.S. Retained Interest will be issued pursuant to the Issuer LLC Agreement in an initial notional principal amount of $17,2000,000. The U.S. Retained Interest will have the benefit of a preferred payment (the “Class R Preferred Return”) payable pursuant to the terms of the Issuer LLC Agreement equal to 9.302% per annum of the notional principal amount of the U.S. Retained Interest. Pursuant to the Issuer LLC Agreement, the U.S. Retained Interest will represent the right to receive certain distributions of funds from the Lead Issuer not otherwise needed to make payments or deposits under the Transaction Documents, and will have the right to receive any cash distributed by the Lead Issuer in respect of its limited liability company interests prior to any member of the Issuer, up to an amount equal to the sum of (i) any accrued and unpaid Class R Preferred Return as of the date of such distribution and (ii) on and after the Sunset Date, the outstanding notional principal amount of the U.S. Retained Interest.

The payment of the Class R Preferred Return and the initial notional principal amount of the U.S. Retained Interest will be made solely with funds released to the Lead Issuer pursuant to clause (xxi) under Section 5.01 of the Indenture and thus will be fully subordinated to the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes. The holder of the U.S. Retained Interest will not receive any payments in respect of the U.S. Retained Interest on any Payment Date on which the Lead Issuer has insufficient funds to satisfy in full all of its other obligations payable on such Payment Date with respect to the Notes. It is expected that the Lead Issuer will issue additional Class R Interests pursuant to the Issuer LLC Agreement in connection with future issuances of Notes in order to comply with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules.

The fair value of all of the ABS Interests of the Lead Issuer issued as part of the Issuer’s securitization transaction described in this Schedule IV is determined using a GAAP fair value measurement framework with both observable and unobservable inputs. Under GAAP, the significance of inputs in measuring fair value are reflected in a hierarchy, with Level 1 inputs favored over Level 2 inputs and Level 2 inputs favored over Level 3 inputs.

Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable,

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments and observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves, and

Level 3 inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the instrument.

The pre-closing determination of the fair value of the Series 2025-2 Notes is categorized within Level 2 of the hierarchy, reflecting inputs derived from prices of similar instruments. The post-closing determination of the fair value of the Series 2025-2 Notes will be categorized within Level 1 of the hierarchy. The fair value of the U.S. Retained Interest is categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy, as many of the inputs to the fair value calculation for the U.S. Retained Interest are generally not observable.

In determining the fair value of the ABS Interests of the Lead Issuer issued in connection with the securitization transaction described in this Schedule IV, the Manager and the Lead Issuer used the inputs and assumptions set forth below:

The Manager believes, based on Level 3 inputs, that a 9.410% yield to maturity is appropriate for the U.S. Retained Interest in order for it to be marketable to third parties. The Manager believes that the U.S. Retained Interest, with a rate of Class R Interest Preferred Return as set forth above and sold at par, will have a fair value of $17,200,000. The Manager determined the fair value based on its review of cash flow model runs, which demonstrated that a holder of the U.S. Retained Interest would obtain a 9.410% yield to maturity under various modest growth, zero-growth and downside stress cases related to cash flow from the Fiber Networks and the related Customer Contracts, and whether or not the Lead Issuer repays existing Notes in full on or prior to the related Anticipated Repayment Date (i.e., whether the Notes are refinanced at their respective Anticipated Repayment Dates or are repaid (if at all) pursuant to the priority of payments out of cash flow generated by the Fiber Networks and related Customer Contracts). The cash flow model runs assumed transaction parameters (principal balances, priority of payment terms, and asset revenues and expenses) as detailed throughout the Offering Memorandum with respect to the Series 2025-2 Term Notes.

The Manager believes that the inputs and assumptions described above include the inputs and assumptions that could have a material impact on the fair value calculation or would be material to a

prospective Noteholder’s ability to evaluate the fair value calculation. The fair value of each of the Series 2025-2 Notes and the U.S. Retained Interest was calculated based on the assumptions described above, which are intended solely for the purpose of determining these fair values in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Risk Retention Rules and should not be relied upon by prospective Noteholders for any other purpose. Prospective Noteholders should be sure that they understand these assumptions when considering the fair value calculation.

Based on the foregoing, the Series 2025-2 Notes and the U.S. Retained Interest will have a fair value (expressed as a dollar amount as a percentage of the fair value of all ABS Interest issued by the Lead Issuer as part of the securitization transaction involving the issuance of the Series 2025-2 Notes) as follows:

(1) Assumes that Series 2025-2 VFN Commitment is fully drawn.

(2) Totals and/or percentages may not add up due to rounding.

(3) The Note Rate for the Series 2025-2 Class A-1-V Notes will be determined in accordance with the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement and will generally equal a base rate, SOFR rate or CP funding rate, as applicable, plus a spread equal to 1.70%.

The fair value of the EHRI is required to be at least 5% of the fair value of all ABS Interests of the Lead Issuer issued as part of the securitization transaction involving the issuance of the Series 2025-2 Notes.
