RECITALS

A. The Borrower has requested that the Lender extend a settlement line of credit under this Agreement with aggregate available amount of $100,000,000.00.

B. The Lender is willing to extend such credit to the Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

“ABR,” when used in reference to any Draw or Borrowing, refers to whether such Draw, or the Draws comprising such Borrowing, bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.

“ACH” means automated clearing house transfers.

“Adverse Proceeding” means any action, suit, proceeding (whether administrative, judicial or otherwise), governmental investigation or arbitration (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, whether pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, threatened in writing, against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any property of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

“Affiliate” means, as applied to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly Controlling, Controlled by, or under common Control with, that Person. No Person shall be an “Affiliate” of the Borrower and/or any Restricted Subsidiary solely because it is an unrelated portfolio company of Searchlight and neither the Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall be considered an Affiliate of the Borrower or any subsidiary thereof.

“Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble to this Settlement Line Credit Agreement.

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, (b) to the extent ascertainable, Daily Simple SOFR (which for purposes of this clause (b), not be less than 0.00%) plus 1.00% and (c) the

Prime Rate. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, as the case may be, shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, as the case may be.

“Applicable Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to (a) 0.75% in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Draws and (b) 0.00% in the case of ABR Draws.

“Assignment and Assumption” means an assignment and assumption entered into by a Lender and an assignee (with the consent of any party whose consent is required by Section 9.05), in the form of Exhibit A or any other form approved by the Lender and the Borrower.

“Available Amount” means the aggregate amount made available by the Lender to fund Draws, as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.09. The initial Available Amount provided by the Lender on the Closing Date is $100,000,000.

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from a definition of “interest period” pursuant to clause (e) of Section 2.14, if applicable.

“Bankruptcy Code” means Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.), as it has been, or may be, amended, from time to time.

“Benchmark” means, initially, Daily Simple SOFR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Daily Simple SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (b) of Section 2.14.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Lender and the Borrower giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Draw Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable interest period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(a) for purposes of clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Lender:

(i) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;

(ii) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) for such interest period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(b) for purposes of clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Lender and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;

provided that, in the case of clause (a) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

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

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

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(c) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

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

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Draw Document in accordance with Section 2.14 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Draw Document in accordance with Section 2.14.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Draw Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Draw Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to,

this Agreement or any other Draw Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Draw Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is given to the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Draw Document.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Draw Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then, if applicable, the Lender may modify the definition of “interest period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lender may modify the definition of “interest period” if applicable for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Daily Simple SOFR Draws to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Draws. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is

not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law:

(i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Lender;

(ii) subjects the Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on or with respect to its Draws, Available Amount, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) imposes on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Daily Simple SOFR Draws made by the Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Daily Simple SOFR Draw (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Draw) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any Daily Simple SOFR Draw in an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to the Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date the Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) the Lender invokes Section 2.20 or (z) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (iii) above resulting from a market disruption, the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the banking market.

(b) If the Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Draws made by the Lender to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) The Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or the holding company thereof, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) sets forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or

amounts were determined and (iii) certifies that the Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 [Reserved].

Section 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Draw Party under any Draw Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Requirements of Law. If any applicable Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax and/or Other Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Draw Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b) In addition, the Draw Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender within 30 days after receipt of the certificate described in the succeeding sentence, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Lender, as applicable (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17), other than any penalties determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or documented in any settlement agreement) to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Lender, and, in each case, any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted; provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(g)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Lender, result in any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by such Draw Party or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Lender. In connection with any request for reimbursement under this Section 2.17(c), the Lender shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the amount of the relevant payment or liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

contained in this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any amount to the extent the Lender fails to notify the Borrower of such possible indemnification claim within 180 days after the Lender receives written notice from the applicable taxing authority of the specific tax assessment giving rise to such indemnification claim.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.17 by any Draw Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued, if any, by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(f) Status of Lender.

(i) If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Draw Document it shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation as the Borrower may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, two executed original originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

(B) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party, two executed original originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing any available exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax;

(II) two executed original originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);

(III) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code,

(x) two executed original copies of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments payable to the Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed original originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms); or

(IV) to the extent any Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender), two executed original originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, Exhibit F-3 or Exhibit F-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner(s);

(C) a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), two executed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to the Lender under any Draw Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation as is prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is an entity disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, references to the foregoing documentation are intended to refer to documentation with respect to the Lender’s owner and, as applicable, the Lender.

The Lender agrees that if any documentation (including any specific documentation required above in this Section 2.17(f)) it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver to the Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower) or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(f), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that the Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(g) If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (whether received in cash or applied as a credit against any cash taxes payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Draw Party or with respect to which any Draw Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to any Draw Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Draw Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Draw Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17 shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Draw Party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Lender, the termination of the Available Amount and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Draw Document.

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds or such other form of consideration not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement as the relevant recipient may agree, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amount received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment shall be

made to the Lender to the applicable account designated by the Lender to the Borrower, except that any payment made pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 or 9.03 shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. The Lender shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b) All proceeds of Collateral received by the Lender while an Event of Default exists and all or any portion of the Draws have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01, shall be applied, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses then due incurred by the Lender in connection with any collection, sale or realization on Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Draw Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Lender hereunder or under any other Draw Document on behalf of any Draw Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Draw Document, second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Lender (other than those covered in clause first above) from the Borrower constituting Obligations, third, to the payment in full of the Obligations; fourth, as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, and fifth, to, or at the direction of, the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations.

If the Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or determines it can no longer make or maintain Daily Simple SOFR Draws pursuant to Section 2.20, or any Draw Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Draws hereunder affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.20, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.20 Illegality. If the Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for the Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Draws whose interest is determined by reference to Daily Simple SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily Simple SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of the Lender to make or continue Daily Simple SOFR Draws or to convert ABR Draws to Daily Simple SOFR Draws shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of the Lender making or maintaining ABR Draws, the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Daily Simple SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Draws of the Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be

determined by the Lender without reference to the Daily Simple SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice the Lender agrees to give promptly). Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay or convert all of the Lender’s Daily Simple SOFR Draws to ABR Draws (the interest rate on which ABR Draws of the Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Lender without reference to the Daily Simple SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate) immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Daily Simple SOFR Draws and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of the Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Daily Simple SOFR, the Lender shall, during the period of such suspension, compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to the Daily Simple SOFR component thereof until the Lender determines that it is no longer illegal for it to determine or charge interest rates based upon Daily Simple SOFR. The Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of the Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Lender.

Section 2.21 Notice of Renewal Intention. The Lender shall provide notice to the Borrower on or before the date which is one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the then-applicable Maturity Date as to whether or not it intends to extend the Maturity Date or otherwise provide a new or renewed settlement line of credit to replace the Settlement Line Facility under this Agreement.

Subject to the Legal Reservations, the Perfection Requirements and the provisions, limitations and/or exceptions set forth in this Agreement and/or any other Draw Document, the Collateral Documents create legal, valid and enforceable Liens on all of the Collateral in favor of the Lender, and upon the satisfaction of the applicable Perfection Requirements, such Liens constitute perfected Liens (with the priority that

such Liens are expressed to have under the relevant Collateral Documents, unless otherwise permitted hereunder or under any Collateral Document) on the Collateral (to the extent such Liens are required to be perfected under the terms of the Draw Documents) securing the Obligations, in each case as and to the extent set forth therein.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) The representations and warranties of the Draw Parties set forth in this Agreement and the other Draw Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of any such Credit Extension with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Credit Extension; provided that to the extent that any representation and warranty specifically refers to an earlier given date or period, it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date or for such period; provided, however, that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates or for such periods.

For the avoidance of doubt, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender agrees that it shall not take any of the actions described in Section 7.01 or bring any other action or proceeding under the Draw Documents or with respect to the Obligations.

Section 7.02 Continuing Defaults; Cures; Qualifications.

(a) Continuing Defaults. With respect to any Default or Event of Default, the words “exists,” “continuing” and similar expressions with respect thereto shall mean that such Default or Event of Default has occurred and has not yet been cured or waived. If any Default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (f) or (g)) occurs due to:

(i) the failure by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to take any action by a specified time, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured at the time, if any, that the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, takes such action, or

(ii) the taking of any action by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not then permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Draw Document, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be cured on the earlier to occur of (1) the date on which such action would have been permitted under this Agreement and the other Draw Documents if such action had been taken at such time or (2) the date on which such action is unwound or otherwise modified to the extent necessary for such revised action to have been permitted by this Agreement and the other Draw Documents.

(b) Related Defaults and Events of Default. If any Default or Event of Default occurs that is subsequently cured or waived (a “Cured or Waived Default”), any other Default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (f) or (g)) resulting from or relating to the Cured or Waived Default (including any Default or Event of Default arising in connection with the making or deemed making of any representation or warranty, a failure to provide notice, the taking of any action (or the failure to take any action) by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or the circumstances giving rise to the Cured or Waived Default), in each case, which subsequent Default or Event of Default would not have arisen had the Cured or Waived Default or such circumstances not occurred, shall be deemed to be cured automatically upon, and simultaneous with, the cure or waiver of the Cured or Waived Default.

(c) Administrative Errors and Delays. The failure by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary to pay, when and as required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Draw Documents, any amount of principal, interest, fee or other amount will not result in a Default or Event of Default if such failure to pay is the result of an administrative or billing error by the Lender or a technical error or delay in the transmission of funds or a market disruption event and, in each case, such payment is made within three (3) Business Days of the discovery of such administrative or billing error or technical error or such market disruption event being cured.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Draw Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic

Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Draw Document shall operate as a waiver thereof except as provided herein or in any Draw Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under any other Draw Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Draw Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the making of any Draw shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Subject to this Section 9.02(b), neither this Agreement nor any other Draw Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Citizens is a party to the Existing Senior Credit Agreement:

(i) the Lender shall be deemed to have consented to any waiver, amendment or modification to this Agreement or any other Draw Document or any provision hereof or thereof, to the extent that (x) Citizens has approved or otherwise consented to an analogous waiver, amendment or modification that has been obtained under the Existing Senior Credit Agreement or other Existing Senior Credit Agreement Loan Document, as applicable, or (y) an analogous waiver, amendment or modification has been obtained under the Existing Senior Credit Agreement or any other Existing Senior Credit Agreement Loan Document, which waiver, amendment or modification did not require the consent of any Existing Senior Credit Agreement Lender; and

(ii) the Lender shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to any other waiver, amendment or modification to this Agreement or any other Draw Document or any provision hereof or thereof, to the extent that an analogous waiver, amendment or modification has been obtained under Existing Senior Credit Agreement or any other Existing Senior Credit Agreement Loan Document

provided further that clauses (i)(x) and (ii) of the proviso above shall not apply to any such waiver, amendment or modification under the Existing Senior Credit Agreement or other Existing Senior Credit Agreement Loan Document, solely to the extent that (x) such waiver, amendment or modification adversely and disproportionately affects the Settlement Line Facility in any material respect relative to the Existing Senior Credit Facilities, as reasonably

determined by the Lender in good faith and (y) the Lender provides written notice of such determination to the Borrower (for avoidance of doubt, any waiver, amendment or modification which (A) adversely affects Citizens’ settlement, sponsorship, or other processing support services with the Draw Parties under the Sponsorship Agreement or (B) restricts the Borrower’s ability to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to the Clean-Down Requirement or any other payment of the Obligations, in each case, when due and payable hereunder, shall be deemed adverse to the Settlement Line Facility in a material respect).

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and its Affiliates (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of outside counsel to all such Persons taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all such Persons, taken as a whole) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Draw Documents and any related documentation, including in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Draw Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated, but only to the extent the preparation of any such amendment, modification or waiver was requested by the Borrower and except as otherwise provided in a separate writing between the Borrower and the Lender) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender or any of its Affiliates (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of outside counsel to all such Persons taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all such Persons, taken as a whole) in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Draw Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in connection with the Draws made hereunder. Except to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, (x) one additional counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and (y) one additional local counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Draw Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and/or the enforcement of the Draw Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Draws, (iii) [reserved] and/or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,

investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Draw Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability (i) is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or documented in any settlement agreement referred to below) to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or, to the extent such judgment finds (or any such settlement agreement acknowledges) that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability has resulted from such Person’s material breach of the Draw Documents or (ii) arises out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee that does not involve any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) to such Indemnitee for any fees, expenses, or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. All amounts due under this paragraph (b) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days (x) after receipt by the Borrower of a written demand therefor, in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities in respect of a non-Tax claim.

(c) The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if any proceeding is settled with the written consent of the Borrower, or if there is a final judgment against any Indemnitee in any such proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability.

Section 9.04 Waiver of Claim. To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives (on behalf of itself and its Related Parties), any claim against any other party hereto, any Draw Party and/or any Related Party of any thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Draw or the use of the proceeds thereof, except, in the case of any claim by any Indemnitee against the Borrower, to the extent such damages would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 9.03.

Section 9.05 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that (i) except as provided under Section 6.07, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the terms of this Section (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not

affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Draws. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v) [Reserved].

At any time when an Event of Default exists, the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Draw Party against any of and all the Obligations held by the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under the Draw Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Lender different than the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation on such Indebtedness. The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Lender may have.

Each Draw Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the transactions contemplated by the Draw Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender, on the one hand, and the Draw Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender, in its capacity as such, has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Draw Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Draw Party, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Draw Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Draw Documents and (y) the Lender, in its capacity as such, is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Draw Party, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Draw Party waives any claim that it may have against the Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising solely by virtue of this Agreement. Each Draw Party acknowledges and agrees that such Draw Party has consulted its own legal, tax and financial

advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.
