Securitization Transaction
On December 15, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Planet Fitness Master Issuer LLC, a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Master Issuer”), completed its previously announced refinancing transaction, pursuant to which it issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2025-1 5.274% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I (the “Class A-2-I Notes”) and $350 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2025-1 5.649% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II (the “Class A-2-II Notes” and together with the Class A-2-I Notes, the “Class A-2 Notes”) in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the issuance of the Class A-2 Notes, the Master Issuer also entered into the previously announced revolving financing facility that allows for the issuance of up to $75 million in Series 2025-1 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 (the “Variable Funding Notes”), and certain letters of credit, all of which are currently undrawn. The Variable Funding Notes are in addition to the Master Issuer’s existing revolving financing facility. The Class A-2 Notes and the Variable Funding Notes are referred to collectively as the “Notes.” The Notes were issued in a securitization transaction pursuant to which substantially all of the Company’s revenue-generating assets in the United States are held by the Master Issuer and certain other limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Master Issuer that act as Guarantors of the Notes and that have pledged substantially all of their assets to secure the Notes.
The Notes were issued under an Amended and Restated Base Indenture dated as of February 10, 2022 (the “A&R Base Indenture”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 10, 2022, as amended by the Supplement No. 1 to A&R Base Indenture dated as of June 12, 2024 (the “Supplement No. 1”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 12, 2024, and as further amended by the Supplement No. 2 to A&R Base Indenture dated as of the Closing Date (the “Supplement No. 2”), a copy of which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1, and the related Series 2025-1 Supplement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Series 2025-1 Supplement” and collectively with the A&R Base Indenture, the Supplement No. 1 and the Supplement No. 2, the “Indenture”) and a copy of the Series 2025-1 Supplement, which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.2, each between the Master Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and securities intermediary. The Indenture allows the Master Issuer to issue additional series of notes in the future subject to certain conditions.
Class A-2 Notes
While the Class A-2 Notes are outstanding, payments of principal and interest are required to be made on the Class A-2 Notes on a quarterly basis. The quarterly payments of principal on the Class A-2 Notes may be suspended in the event that the leverage ratio for the Company and its subsidiaries, including the securitization entities, is, in each case, less than or equal to 5.50x.
The legal final maturity date of the Class A-2 Notes is in December of 2055, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the Class A-2-I Notes will be repaid in December of 2030 and the Class A-2-II Notes will be repaid in December of 2032. If the Master Issuer has not repaid or refinanced a tranche of Class A-2 Notes prior to its anticipated repayment date, additional interest will accrue on such tranche of Class A-2 Notes equal to the greater of (i) 5.00% per annum and (ii) a rate equal to the excess, if any, by which (a) the sum of (x) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a quarterly bond-equivalent basis) on such anticipated repayment date for such tranche of the United States treasury Security having a term closest to ten (10) years plus (y) 5.00%, plus (z) (1) with respect to the Series 2025-1 Class A-2-I Notes, 1.60% and (2) with respect to the Series 2025-1 Class A-2-II Notes, 1.80%, exceeds (b) the original interest rate.
The Notes are secured by the collateral described below under “Guarantees and Collateral.”
Variable Funding Notes
The Variable Funding Notes will allow for drawings on a revolving basis. Drawings and certain additional terms related to the Variable Funding Notes are governed by the Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Master Issuer, the Guarantors, the Manager, certain conduit investors, financial institutions and funding agents, and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as provider of letters of credit and Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc., as administrative agent. The Variable Funding Notes will be governed in part by the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement and by certain generally applicable terms contained in the Indenture. Interest on the Variable Funding Notes will generally be payable at per annum rates equal to (i) one, three or six month term SOFR plus 185 basis points or (ii) with respect to advances made by conduit investors, the lenders’ commercial paper funding rate plus 185 basis points. There is a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Variable Funding Notes facility, equal to 50 basis points. It is anticipated that the principal and interest on the Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full on or prior to December 2030, subject to two additional one-year extensions at the option of the Manager (subject to certain conditions). Following the anticipated repayment date (as may be extended), additional interest will accrue on the Variable Funding Notes equal to 5.00% per annum. The
Variable Funding Notes and other credit instruments issued under the Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Master Issuer and the Guarantors.
Guarantees and Collateral
Pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of the August 1, 2018 (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), previously filed on Form 8-K on August 1, 2018, among Planet Fitness SPV Guarantor LLC, Planet Fitness Franchising LLC, Planet Fitness Assetco LLC and Planet Fitness Distribution LLC, each as a guarantor of the Notes (collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of Citibank, N.A., as trustee, the Guarantors guarantee the obligations of the Master Issuer under the Indenture and related documents and have secured the guarantee by granting a security interest in substantially all of their assets.
The Notes are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Master Issuer and the Guarantors (collectively, the “Securitization Entities”). The assets of the Securitized Entities (the “Securitized Assets”) include substantially all of the Company’s revenue-generating assets in the United States, which principally consist of franchise-related agreements, certain corporate-owned store assets, equipment supply agreements and intellectual property and license agreements for the use of intellectual property. The pledge and collateral arrangements for the Master Issuer are included in the A&R Base Indenture.
The Notes are obligations only of the Master Issuer pursuant to the Indenture and are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. Except as described below, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company, other than the Securitization Entities, will guarantee or in any way be liable for the obligations of the Master Issuer under the Indenture or the Notes.
Management of the Securitized Assets
None of the Securitization Entities has employees. Each of the Securitization Entities entered into a Management Agreement dated as of August 1, 2018 (as amended on February 10, 2022, as further amended on June 12, 2024 and as further amended on the Closing Date as set forth below, the “Management Agreement”), among the Securitization Entities, Planet Fitness Holdings, LLC, as manager, and Citibank, N.A. as trustee. The Management Agreement was amended by the Amendment No. 3 to the Management Agreement dated as of the Closing Date, a copy of which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
Planet Fitness Holdings, LLC acts as the manager with respect to the Securitized Assets. The primary responsibilities of the manager are to perform certain franchising, distribution, intellectual property, operation of corporate-owned stores and other operational functions on behalf of the Securitization Entities with respect to the Securitized Assets pursuant to the Management Agreement. The manager is entitled to the payment of a regular management fee, as set forth in the Management Agreement, which includes reimbursement of certain expenses, and is subject to the liabilities set forth in the Management Agreement.
The manager manages and administers the Securitized Assets in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement and, except as otherwise provided in the Management Agreement, the management standard set forth in the Management Agreement. Subject to limited exceptions set forth in the Management Agreement, the Management Agreement does not require the manager to expend or risk its funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers under the Management Agreement if the manager has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it.
Subject to limited exceptions set forth in the Management Agreement, the manager will indemnify each Securitization Entity, the trustee and certain other parties, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, for all claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, losses, legal fees and related costs and judgments and other costs, fees and reasonable expenses that any of them may incur as a result of (a) the failure of the manager to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement, (b) the breach by the manager of any representation or warranty under the Management Agreement or (c) the manager’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Covenants and Restrictions
The Notes are subject to a series of covenants and restrictions customary for transactions of this type, including (i) that the Master Issuer maintains specified reserve accounts to be used to make required payments in respect of the Notes, (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory prepayments and the related payment of specified amounts, including specified make-whole payments in the case of the Notes under certain circumstances, (iii) certain indemnification payments in the event, among other things, the transfers of the assets pledged as collateral for the Notes are in stated ways defective or ineffective and (iv) covenants relating to recordkeeping, access to information and similar matters. The Notes are also subject to customary rapid amortization events provided for in the Indenture, including events tied to failure to maintain a stated debt service coverage ratio, the sum of system-wide sales being below certain levels on certain measurement dates, certain manager termination events (including in certain cases a change of control of Planet Fitness Holdings, LLC), an event of default and the failure to repay or refinance the Notes on the applicable anticipated repayment date. The Notes are also subject to certain customary events of default, including events relating to non-payment of required interest, principal or other amounts due on or with
respect to the Notes, failure to comply with covenants within certain time frames, certain bankruptcy events, breaches of specified representations and warranties, failure of security interests to be effective and certain judgments.
Use of Proceeds
A portion of the net proceeds of the offering has been or will be used to repay in full the Series 2022-1 Class A-2-I Notes, which as of September 30, 2025, had a principal balance of approximately $410 million, to pay the transaction costs and fund the reserve accounts associated with the securitized financing facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include funding share repurchases by the Company.

Accelerated Share Repurchase
On December 12, 2025, the Company entered into a $350 million accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The Company will acquire shares under the ASR Agreement as part of its $500 million share repurchase authorization (the “Share Repurchase Authorization”). As of December 15, 2025, before giving effect to the ASR Agreement, approximately $350 million remained available for share repurchases pursuant to the Share Repurchase Authorization.
Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement, on December 16, 2025, the Company will pay the Bank $350 million in cash and will initially receive approximately 2.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. At final settlement, the Bank may be required to deliver additional shares to the Company, or, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver shares of its Class A common stock or may elect to make a cash payment to the Bank, based generally on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s Class A common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement. The ASR Agreement contains provisions customary for agreements of this type, including provisions for adjustments to the transaction terms, the circumstances under which the ASR Agreement may be accelerated, extended or terminated early by the Bank and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties made by the parties to one another. Final settlement of the ASR Agreement is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2026, although the settlement may be accelerated at the Bank’s option.
The foregoing description of the ASR Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ASR Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

(a) The Notes (other than Uncertificated Notes) shall, upon issuance pursuant to Section 2.2, be executed on behalf of the Master Issuer by an Authorized Officer of the Master Issuer and delivered by the Master Issuer to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided herein. The signature of each such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual, scanned or facsimile. If an Authorized Officer of the Master Issuer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid. (b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Base Indenture, the Master Issuer may deliver Notes (other than Uncertificated Notes) of any particular Series (issued pursuant to Section 2.2) executed by the Master Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Company Orders for the authentication and delivery (or registration, in the case of Uncertificated Notes) of such Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with such Company Order and this Base Indenture, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes (or register such Notes, in the case of Uncertificated Notes). (c) No Note (other than Uncertificated Notes) shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for below, duly executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of a Trust Officer. Such signatures on such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Note has been duly authenticated under this Base Indenture. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Master Issuer to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Base Indenture to 12
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: “This is one of the Notes of a Series issued under the within mentioned Indenture. Citibank, N.A., as Trustee By: Authorized Signatory” (d) Each Note (other than Uncertificated Notes) shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Master Issuer, and the Master Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14 together with a written statement to the Trustee and the Servicer (which need not comply with Section 14.3) stating that such Note has never been issued and sold by the Master Issuer, for all purposes of the Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. Section 2.5 Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Master Issuer shall (i) maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (or de-registration, in the case of Uncertificated Notes) (the “Registrar”) and (ii) appoint a paying agent (which shall satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 10.8(a)) (the “Paying Agent”) at whose office or agency Notes (or evidence of ownership of Uncertificated Notes) may be presented for payment. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (including the name and address of each such Noteholder) and of their transfer and exchange. The Trustee shall indicate in its books and records the commitment of each Noteholder, if applicable, and the principal (and stated interest) amount owing to each Noteholder from time to time. The Master Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” shall include any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” shall include any co-registrars. The Master Issuer may change the Paying Agent or the Registrar without prior notice to any Noteholder. The Master Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Registrar and the Paying Agent and shall send copies of all notices and demands received by the Trustee (other than those sent by the Master Issuer to the Trustee and those addressed to the Master Issuer) in connection with the Notes to the Master Issuer. Upon any resignation or removal of the Registrar, the Master Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Registrar or, in the absence of such appointment, the Master Issuer shall assume the duties of the Registrar. (b) The Master Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. Such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Base Indenture that relate to such Agent. If the Master Issuer fails to maintain 13 a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee hereby agrees to act as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with this Base Indenture until the Master Issuer shall appoint a replacement Registrar or Paying Agent, as applicable. Section 2.6 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) The Master Issuer will cause the Paying Agent (if the Paying Agent is not the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which the Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee is the Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, that the Paying Agent will: (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided; (ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Master Issuer of which it has Actual Knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes; (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by the Paying Agent; (iv) immediately resign as the Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Trustee set forth in Section 10.8 at the time of its appointment; and (v) comply with all requirements of the Code and other applicable Requirements of Law with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding Taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith. (b) The Master Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or for any other purpose, by Company Order direct the Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee in trust upon the same terms as those upon which the sums were held in trust by the Paying Agent. Upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. (c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Master Issuer upon delivery of a Company Order. The Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Master Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Master Issuer), and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such trust money paid to the Master Issuer shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Master Issuer, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, 14
customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Master Issuer. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Master Issuer, any other commercially reasonable means of notification of such repayment. Section 2.7 Noteholder List. (a) The Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished by the Registrar to the Master Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Paying Agent or any Class A-1 Administrative Agent, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from the Master Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Paying Agent or such Class A-1 Administrative Agent, respectively, in writing, the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series as of the most recent Record Date for payments to such Noteholders. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by Note Owners satisfying the requirements set forth in Section 11.5(b) (“Applicants”) for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Noteholders held by the Trustee and shall give the Master Issuer notice that such request has been made, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Registrar nor any of their respective agents shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained. (b) The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Master Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) Business Days before each Quarterly Payment Date and at such other time as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes. Section 2.8 Transfer and Exchange. (a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note (or as set forth in any Series Supplement with respect to the transfer and registration or de-registration of any Uncertificated Notes) at the office or agency of the Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the New York UCC are met, the Master Issuer shall (except in the case of Uncertificated Notes) execute and, after the Master Issuer has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Series and Class (and, if applicable, Tranche or Subclass) and a like original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred. Whenever Uncertificated Notes of any Series are to be transferred or exchanged, the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall de-register such Uncertificated 15 Notes and register the new Uncertificated Notes and the Noteholder receiving such Note shall receive a confirmation of registration upon request. At the option of any Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged (or de-registered) for other Notes (or, in the case of an exchange for Uncertificated Notes, de-registered) of the same Series and Class (and, if applicable, Tranche or Subclass) in authorized denominations of like original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so exchanged, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever Notes of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the New York UCC are met, the Master Issuer shall execute (other than Uncertificated Notes), and after the Master Issuer has executed, the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for authentication shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, the Notes (other than Uncertificated Notes) which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. (b) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) (other than Uncertificated Notes) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Master Issuer and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing with a medallion signature guarantee and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee and the Registrar may require. The Master Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under the Indenture and the Notes. (c) All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes (including any transfer of Uncertificated Notes) shall be the valid obligations of the Master Issuer, evidencing the same Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. (d) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.8 notwithstanding, (i) the Master Issuer or the Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days preceding the selection of any Note for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailingdelivery of the relevant notice of redemption or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption, and (ii) no assignment or transfer of a Note or any commitment in respect thereof shall be effective until such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Note Register and in the books and records of the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.5(a). (e) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, no service charge shall be payable for any registration of transfer or exchange (or de-registration) of Notes, but the Master Issuer, the Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, may require payment by the Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes. (f) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, registration of transfer of Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the applicable Series Supplement or, to the extent 16
applicable, any Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such applicable Series Supplement and, to the extent applicable, any Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement are satisfied. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8 and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13 or any applicable Series Supplement with respect to Uncertificated Notes, the typewritten Note or Notes representing Book-Entry Notes for any Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Clearing Agency for such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche, or to a successor Clearing Agency for such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche selected or approved by the Master Issuer or to a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency, only if in accordance with this Section 2.8 and Section 2.12. Section 2.9 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note (or any other transfer and de-registration of Uncertificated Notes), the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, the Controlling Class Representative, any Agent and the Master Issuer shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever (other than purposes in which the vote or consent of a Note Owner is permitted pursuant to this Base Indenture, the applicable Series Supplement or any Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the rules of a Clearing Agency), whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, the Controlling Class Representative, any Agent nor the Master Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Section 2.10 Replacement Notes. (a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Master Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Master Issuer and the Trustee harmless, then, provided that the requirements of Section 2.8(f) of this Base Indenture and Section 8-405 of the New York UCC are met, the Master Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the New York UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Master Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Master Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith. (b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note (or registration of Uncertificated Notes) under this Section 2.10, the Master Issuer may require the payment by the 17 Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar) connected therewith. (c) Every replacement Note (or registered, in the case of Uncertificated Notes) issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Master Issuer and such replacement Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued under the Indenture (in accordance with the priorities and other terms set forth herein and in each applicable Series Supplement). (d) The provisions of this Section 2.10 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Absent written notice to a Trust Officer of such ownership, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity of the individual Note Owners. Section 2.12 Book-Entry Notes. (a) Unless otherwise provided in any applicable Series Supplement (including with respect to Uncertificated Notes), the Notes of each Series, Class, Subclass and Tranche, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing Book-Entry Notes and delivered to the depository (or its custodian) specified in such Series Supplement which shall be the Clearing Agency on behalf of such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche. The Notes of each Series, Class, Subclass and Tranche shall, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement (including with respect to Uncertificated Notes), initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Clearing Agency or the nominee of the Clearing Agency.

(ii) If the amount of funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account referred to in subclause (i) with respect to the immediately preceding Quarterly Collection Period is insufficient to pay the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount due on such Quarterly Payment Date, then a Quarterly Reallocation Event pursuant to Section 5.13(p) shall be triggered and any funds reallocated as a result thereof into the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account shall be distributed in accordance with subclause (i) above. If such insufficiency is not eliminated following the reallocation of funds as set forth in Section 5.13(p), the Master Issuer shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw an amount equal to any remaining insufficiency from first, the Subordinated Notes Post-ARD Contingent Interest Account, second, the Senior Subordinated Notes Post-ARD Contingent Interest Account, third, the Senior Notes Post-ARD Contingent Interest Account, fourth, the Subordinated Notes Principal Payment Account, fifth, the Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, sixth, the Senior Subordinated Notes Principal Payment Account, seventh, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, eighth, the Cash Trap Reserve Account and ninth, the Senior Notes Principal Payment Account, and deposit such funds into the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account for further deposit to the applicable Series Distribution Accounts pursuant to subclause (i). On each Quarterly Payment Date, after the application of funds under the Priority of Payments, the funds on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account (or, if the funds on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account are insufficient for such purpose, funds available to be drawn under any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit relating to the Senior Notes) shall be applied by the Trustee at the written instruction of the Manager (acting on behalf of the Master Issuer) to pay, pro rata, any accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount on the Senior Notes Outstanding and any accrued and unpaid Class A-1 Quarterly Commitment Fee Amounts to the extent that amounts deposited into the applicable Series Distribution Accounts in accordance with this Section 5.13(a)(ii) are insufficient for such purposes. (iii) If the result of (i) the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount for the Interest Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Senior Notes ending most recently prior to the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date over (ii) the amount that will be available to make payments of interest on the Senior Notes in accordance with subclauses (i) and (ii) above on such Quarterly Payment Date, is greater than zero (a “Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount”), then in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day preceding such Quarterly Payment Date, the Servicer shall make a Debt Service Advance in such amount unless (i) the Servicer notifies the Master Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Trustee by such time that it has determined reasonably and in good faith (or, on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) on and from the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, is a Nonrecoverable Advance or an Advance Suspension Period is in effect. If the Servicer fails to make such Debt Service Advance (unless (i) the Servicer has determined reasonably and in good faith (or, on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) on and from the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an 54
Advance Suspension Period is in effect), pursuant to Section 10.1(k), the Trustee shall make the Debt Service Advance unless (i) it determines that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, on and from the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, is a Nonrecoverable Advance or an Advance Suspension Period is in effect. In determining whether any Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the determination of the Servicer. All Debt Service Advances shall be deposited into the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account. If, after giving effect to all Debt Service Advances made with respect to any Quarterly Payment Date, the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount with respect to such Quarterly Payment Date remains greater than zero, then the payment of the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount as reduced by such Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount to be distributed on such Quarterly Payment Date to the Senior Notes shall be paid to the Senior Notes, sequentially in order of alphanumerical designation and pro rata among each Class of Senior Notes of the same alphanumerical designation based upon the amount of the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount payable with respect to each such Class; provided that such reduction shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any default caused by the existence of such Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount.

On and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, in the event that an Interest Reserve Letter of Credit has been issued in satisfaction of the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Amount, the Master Issuer shall be entitled to submit an amendment to such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit and/or the excess amount of the related Interest Reserve Letter of Credit may be reduced by delivering a replacement or amended Interest Reserve Letter of Credit to the Control Party reflecting such reduced amount. If the existing Interest Reserve Letter of Credit is so amended, the Trustee and the Control Party shall be entitled to execute or acknowledge such amendment based solely on the written confirmation from the Manager (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate) acting in accordance with the Managing Standard as to the amount reflected in such amendment being at least equal difference between the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Amount and the amount on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account as of the immediately following Interim Allocation Date (after the allocation of all amounts on such Interim Allocation Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments). The Control Party will (without the consent of the Trustee, any Noteholder, the Controlling Class Representative or any other Secured Party) deliver to the L/C Provider any replaced Interest Reserve Letter of Credit for termination simultaneously with the receipt by the Control Party of the related replacement Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, in each case to the extent that after the Control Party’s receipt thereof no Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficiency Amount will exist on the immediately following Interim Allocation Date (after the allocation of all amounts on such Interim Allocation Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments).

There are no outstanding defaults thereunder nor have events occurred which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder.

All such insurance is primary coverage, all premiums therefor due on or before the date hereof have been paid in full, and the terms and conditions thereof are no less favorable to the Securitization Entities than the terms and conditions of insurance maintained by their Affiliates that are not Securitization Entities. 77 Section 7.20 Environmental Matters.

(iv) No Securitization Entity has received any written request for information, or been notified in writing that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, or that it is liable under any other Environmental Law, or in either case, with respect to the release of any Materials of Environmental Concern to the environment. (v) No Securitization Entity has entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law that has not been fully and finally resolved.

(b) The Master Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager and the Servicer in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Master Issuer first knowing or having reason to know that any application or registration relating to any material Securitization IP (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or dedicated to the public domain by a Securitization Entity or the Manager, or of any material adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the PTO, the United States Copyright Office, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or similar offices or agencies in any foreign countries in which the Securitization IP is located, or any court, 93 but excluding office actions in the course of prosecution and any non-final determinations (other than in an adversarial proceeding) of the PTO, the United States Copyright Office, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or any similar office or agency in any such foreign country) regarding the validity of any Securitization Entity’s ownership of any material Securitization IP, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same, or the validity or enforceability of the same. (c) With respect to the Securitization IP, the Master Issuer shall cause the Franchisor to: (i) execute, deliver and file (within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Closing Date as to the PTO or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, or any similar office in Canada) instruments substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-1 hereto with respect to Trademarks, Exhibit B-2 hereto with respect to Patents and Exhibit B-3 hereto with respect to Copyrights, or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Control Party, and any other instruments or documents as may be reasonably necessary or, in the Control Party’s opinion, desirable to perfect or protect the Trustee’s security interest granted under this Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights included in the Securitization IP in the United States and Canada, (ii) notify the Trustee within thirty (30) days if a country becomes an Additional Perfected Country and (iii) use best efforts to execute, deliver and file with the applicable Governmental Authorities in each country other than the United States and Canada which, at the end of any fiscal year, meets the definition of an Additional Perfected Country such instruments or documents as may be reasonably necessary (at the discretion of the Manager) under the laws of each such Additional Perfected Country to perfect or protect the Trustee’s security interest granted under the Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in the registered and applied-for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in such Additional Perfected Country included in the Securitization IP. The filings required by clause (iii) of the previous sentence will be made within one hundred fifty (150) days after a notice from the Master Issuer or the Franchisor that a country has become an Additional Perfected Country; provided that such documents need not be executed, filed or delivered in any Additional Perfected Country if (x) so doing would be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the validity, the enforceability or the Franchisor’s ownership of such Securitization IP, (y) the Manager determines that the filing fees are based upon a percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes or are otherwise unreasonably expensive in comparison to the benefits to be gained by the Secured Parties and the Control Party has been notified of such determination and has not objected within ten (10) Business Days to such determination, or (z) the “perfection” of the Trustee’s lien is not obtainable pursuant to the applicable law of such Additional Perfected Country through such filings. (d) If the Master Issuer or any Guarantor, either itself or through any agent, licensee or designee, shall file or otherwise acquire an application for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the PTO, the United States Copyright Office or any successor agency thereto, or any similar office in Canada and any Additional Perfected Country, the Master Issuer or such Guarantor in a reasonable time after such filing (and in any event within (y) ninety (90) days of such filing in the United States and Canada and (z) for any Additional Perfected Country (A) where the filing takes place during the fiscal year in which such country becomes an Additional Perfected Country, within ninety (90) days after the end of the fiscal year of the Securitization Entities for the fiscal year in which such Additional Perfected Country became an Additional Perfected Country or (B) in any subsequent year, within ninety 94
(90) days of such filing) (i) shall give the Trustee and the Control Party written notice thereof and (ii) execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Control Party may reasonably so request in order to continue, perfect or protect the security interest granted hereunder or under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in the United States and Canada and, consistent with the obligations set forth in Section 8.25(c), any Additional Perfected Country, including, without limitation, executing and delivering (w) the Supplemental Notice of Grant of Security Interest in Trademarks substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 hereto, (x) the Supplemental Notice of Grant of Security Interest in Patents substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 hereto (y) the Supplemental Grant of Security Interest in Copyrights substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto and/or the Supplemental Notice of Grant of Security Interest in Trademarks for the Canadian IP substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-4 hereto, as applicable; provided, however, that with respect to Additional Perfected Countries, the aforesaid filings must be made within ninety (90) days of such written notice; provided, further that such documents need not be executed, filed or delivered in any Additional Perfected Country if so doing would be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the validity, the enforceability or the Franchisor’s ownership of such Securitization IP. (e) In the event that any Securitization IP is infringed upon, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated by a third party in a manner that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Franchisor within a reasonable period of its becoming aware of such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Control Party in writing. The Franchisor or its duly authorized agent shall take all reasonable and appropriate actions, at its expense, to protect or enforce the Securitization IP, including suing for infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of, and seeking an injunction (including, if appropriate, temporary and/or preliminary injunctive relief) against such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation, unless the failure to take such actions on behalf of the Franchisor by the Manager would not constitute a breach by the Manager of the Management Agreement; provided that if the Franchisor decides not to take any action with respect to an infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Franchisor shall deliver written notice to the Trustee, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Control Party setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for its decision not to act, and none of the Manager, the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager or the Control Party will be required to take any actions to protect or enforce the Securitization IP against such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation; provided, further, that the Manager will be required to act if failure to do so would constitute a breach of the Managing Standard. (f) With respect to any licenses of third-party Intellectual Property (other than “off-the-shelf” software or “click through” third party terms) entered into after the Initial Closing Date by a Securitization Entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Manager acting on behalf of the Securitization Entities, as applicable) that is material to the business of such Securitization Entity, such Securitization Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include terms permitting the grant by such Securitization Entity of a security interest therein to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and to allow the Manager (and any Successor Manager) the right to use such Intellectual Property in the performance of its duties under the Management Agreement. 95 Section 8.26 1940 Act.

Payments and the applicable Series Supplement on any Interim Allocation Date; provided that in the case of a failure to pay or allocate principal resulting solely from an administrative error or omission by the Trustee, such default continues for a period of two (2) Business Days after the Trustee receives written notice or an Authorized Officer of the Trustee has Actual Knowledge of such administrative error or omission; provided that the failure to pay any prepayment premium on any prepayment of principal made during any Rapid Amortization Period occurring prior to the related Series Anticipated Repayment Date will not be an Event of Default; (c) any Securitization Entity fails to perform or comply with any of the covenants (other than those covered by clause (a) or clause (b) above) (including any covenant to pay any amount other than interest on or principal of the Notes when due in accordance with the Priority of Payments), or any of its representations or warranties contained in any Related Document to which it is a party proves to be incorrect in any material respect as of the date made or deemed to be made, and such default, failure or breach continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days or, in the case of a failure to comply with any of the agreements, covenants or provisions of any IP License Agreements, such longer cure period as may be permitted under such IP License Agreement, or, solely with respect to a failure to comply with (i) any obligation to deliver a notice, report or other communication within the specified time frame set forth in the applicable Related Document, such failure continues for a period of five (5) consecutive Business Days after the specified time frame for delivery has elapsed or (ii) Sections 8.7, 8.12, 8.13, 8.14, 8.15, 8.17, 8.18, 8.19, 8.20, 8.21, 8.22, 8.23, 8.24, 8.25, 8.27 and 8.28 such failure continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive Business Days, in each case, following the earlier to occur of the Actual Knowledge of an Authorized Officer of such Securitization Entity of such breach or failure and the default caused thereby or written notice to such Securitization Entity by the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager or the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) of such default, breach or failure; provided, however, that no Event of Default shall occur pursuant to this clause (c) if, with respect to any such representation deemed to have been false in any material respect when made which can be remedied by making a payment of an Indemnification Amount, (i) the Indemnitor has paid the required Indemnification Amount in accordance with the terms of the Related Documents and (ii) such Indemnification Amount has been deposited into the Collection Account;

(g) any of the Related Documents or any material portion thereof ceases to be in full force and effect or enforceable in accordance with its terms (other than (i) in accordance with the express termination provisions thereof, (ii) a termination in the ordinary course of business, which termination could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse 101 Effect or (iii) as a result of actions, omissions or breaches of representations or warranties by any party to such Related Document that is not a Securitization Entity or a Non-Securitization Entity so long as such Related Document, or any material portion thereof, is reinstated or replaced with a substantially similar document, agreement or arrangement within thirty (30) Business Days after such Related Document ceases to be in full force and effect or enforceable in accordance with its terms) or any Non-Securitization Entity or Securitization Entity so asserts in writing; (h) other than with respect to Collateral with an aggregate fair market value of less than the greater of $25,000,000 or 20% of Retained Collections, the Trustee ceases to have for any reason a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), in which perfection can be achieved under the UCC or other applicable law in the United States to the extent required by the Related Documents or any Securitization Entity or any Affiliate thereof so asserts in writing; (i) any Securitization Entity fails to perform or comply with any material provision of its organizational documents or any provision of Section 8.24 or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement relating to legal separateness of the Securitization Entities, which failure is reasonably likely to cause the contribution of Securitized Assets to such Securitization Entity pursuant to the related Contribution Agreement to fail to constitute a “true contribution” or other absolute transfer of such Securitized Assets pursuant to such Contribution Agreement or is reasonably likely to cause a court of competent jurisdiction to disregard the separate existence of such Securitization Entity relative to any Person other than another Securitization Entity and, in each case, such failure continues for more than thirty (30) consecutive days following the earlier to occur of the Actual Knowledge of an Authorized Officer of such Securitization Entity or written notice to such Securitization Entity from the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager or the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) of such failure;

Section 9.3 Rights of the Control Party and Trustee upon Event of Default. (a) Payment of Principal and Interest. The Master Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Series of Notes Outstanding when the same becomes due and payable, (ii) the Notes are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default or (iii) default is made in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Series of Notes Outstanding when due and payable, the Master Issuer shall, to the extent of funds available, upon demand of the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (subject to Section 11.4(e), at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Note Rate and any default rate, as applicable, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to 104
cover costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. (b) Proceedings To Collect Money. In case the Master Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Master Issuer and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Master Issuer, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. (c) Other Proceedings. If and when an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (subject to Section 11.4(e), at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) pursuant to a Control Party request shall take one or more of the following actions: (i) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Indenture or any other Related Document or in aid of the exercise of any power granted therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by the Indenture or any other Related Document or by law, including any remedies of a secured party under applicable law; (ii) (A) direct the Master Issuer to exercise (and the Master Issuer agrees to exercise) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Master Issuer against any party to any Collateral Transaction Document arising as a result of the occurrence of such Event of Default or otherwise, including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any such party of its obligations to the Master Issuer, and any right of the Master Issuer to take such action independent of such direction shall be suspended, and (B) if (x) the Master Issuer shall have failed, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee (given at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)), to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the Trustee, (y) the Master Issuer refuses to take such action or (z) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately, take (or the Control Party on behalf of the Trustee shall take) such previously directed action (and any related action as permitted under the Indenture thereafter determined by the Trustee or the Control Party to be appropriate without the need under this provision or any other provision under the Indenture to direct the Master Issuer to take such action); (iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Indenture or, to the extent applicable, any other Related Document, with respect to the Collateral and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any other Securitized Assets; provided that the Trustee will not be required to take title to any real property in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies hereunder or under such Related 105 Documents and title to such property will instead be acquired in an entity designated and (unless owned by a third party) controlled by the Control Party; and/or (iv) sell all or a portion of the Collateral and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any other Securitized Assets, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not proceed with any such sale without the prior written consent of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) and the Trustee will provide notice to the Master Issuer and each Holder of Subordinated Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes of a proposed sale of Collateral or Securitized Assets, to the extent permitted by applicable law. (d) Sale of Securitized Assets. In connection with any sale of the Collateral hereunder, under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (which may proceed separately and independently from the exercise of remedies under the Indenture) or under any judgment, order or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of the Indenture, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Related Document or any sale of Securitized Assets, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) any of the Trustee, any Noteholder, any Enhancement Provider, any Hedge Counterparty and/or any other Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property being sold, and upon compliance with the terms of the sale may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability; (ii) the Trustee (at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)) may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed, bill of sale and instrument of assignment and transfer of the property sold; (iii) all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity or otherwise, of any Securitization Entity of, in and to the property so sold shall be divested; and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Securitization Entity, its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the property sold or any part thereof from, through or under such Securitization Entity or its successors or assigns; and (iv) the receipt of the Trustee or of the officer thereof making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee or of such officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof. (e) Application of Proceeds. Any amounts obtained by the Trustee or the Control Party on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee or the Control Party of any right hereunder or under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (a) shall be deposited into the Collection Account and, other than with respect to amounts owed to a depositary bank or securities intermediary under the related Account Control Agreement, shall be held by the Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of the Obligations, and (b) shall be applied first 106
to pay an depositary bank or securities intermediary in respect of amounts owed to it under the related Account Control Agreement and then as provided in the priority set forth in the Priority of Payments; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided in this Article IX, with respect to any distribution to any Class of Notes, notwithstanding the provisions of Article V, such amounts shall be distributed sequentially in order of alphabetical (as opposed to alphanumerical) designation and pro rata among each Class of Notes of the same alphabetical designation based upon the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of each such Class. (f) Additional Remedies. In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted hereunder or under applicable law (x) with respect to the Collateral, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction and (y) with respect to the other Securitized Assets, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor in any applicable jurisdiction. (g) Proceedings. The Trustee may maintain a Proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the Proceeding, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be in its own name as trustee. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. (h) Power of Attorney. The Master Issuer hereby grants to the Trustee an absolute and irrevocable power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any document which may be required by the PTO, the United States Copyright Office, any similar office or agency in Canada and in each foreign country in which the Securitization IP is located, or any other Governmental Authority in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in or to any Securitization IP, and record the same. Section 9.4 Waiver of Appraisal, Valuation, Stay and Right to Marshaling. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Master Issuer for itself and for any Person who may claim through or under it hereby: (a) agrees that neither it nor any such Person will step up, plead, claim or in any manner whatsoever take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, now or hereafter in force in any jurisdiction, which may delay, prevent or otherwise hinder (i) the performance, enforcement or foreclosure of the Indenture or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, (ii) the sale of any of the Collateral or Securitized Assets, to the extent permitted by applicable law or (iii) the putting of the purchaser or purchasers thereof into possession of such property immediately after the sale thereof; (b) waives all benefit or advantage of any such laws; (c) waives and releases all rights to have the Collateral and/or the Securitized Assets marshaled upon any foreclosure, sale or other enforcement of the Indenture or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; and (d) consents and agrees that, subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, all the Collateral and all of the Securitized Assets (to the extent permitted by applicable law) may at any such sale be sold by the Trustee as an entirety or 107 in such portions as the Trustee may (upon direction by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)) determine. Section 9.5 Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the Notes or any other Related Document or otherwise, the liability of the Securitization Entities to the Noteholders and any other Secured Parties under or in relation to the Indenture, the Notes or any other Related Document or otherwise, is limited in recourse to the assets of the Securitization Entities. Following the proceeds of such assets having been applied in accordance with the terms hereof, none of the Noteholders or any other Secured Parties shall be entitled to take any further steps against any Securitization Entity to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other agreements or documents described in this Section 9.5, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished. Section 9.6 Optional Preservation of the Securitized Assets. If the maturity of the Outstanding Notes of each Series has been accelerated pursuant to Section 9.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), shall elect to maintain possession of such portion, if any, of the Collateral and/or Securitized Assets (to the extent permitted by applicable law) as the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall in its discretion determine. Section 9.7 Waiver of Past Events. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of each Series of Notes Outstanding as provided in Section 9.2 and subject to Section 13.2, the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) by notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Servicer (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager), may waive any existing Default or Event of Default described in any clause of Section 9.2 (except clause (d) thereof) and its consequences; provided, however, that before any waiver may be effective, the Trustee and the Servicer must have received any reimbursement then due or payable in respect of unreimbursed Advances (including interest thereon) or any other amounts then due to the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager or the Trustee hereunder or under the Related Documents; provided, further, that the Control Party shall provide written notice of any such waiver to each Rating Agency for each Series of Notes Outstanding (with a copy to the Servicer and the Back-Up Manager). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. A Default or an Event of Default described in Section 9.2(d) shall not be subject to waiver without the consent of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) and each Noteholder. Subject to Section 13.2, the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), by notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency for each Series of Notes Outstanding and the Servicer (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager), may waive any existing Potential Rapid Amortization Event or any existing Rapid Amortization Event; provided 108
however, that a Rapid Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(e) relating to a particular Series, Class or Tranche of Notes shall not be permitted to be waived by any party unless 100% of the Noteholders have consented to such waiver in writing. Section 9.8 Control by the Control Party. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Control Party (subject to Section 11.4(e), at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding in respect of any enforcement of the Collateral (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other Securitized Assets) or conducting any proceeding in respect of any enforcement of Liens on the Collateral and other rights and remedies against the other Securitized Assets (to the extent permitted by applicable law) or conducting any proceeding for any contractual or legal remedy available to the Trustee or exercise any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that: (a) such direction of time, method and place shall not be in conflict with any rule of law, the Servicing Standard or the Indenture; (b) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may take any other action deemed proper by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) that is not inconsistent with such direction (as the same may be modified by the Control Party (with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative)); and (c) such direction shall be in writing; provided further that, subject to Section 10.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability unless it has received an indemnity for such liability as provided herein. The Trustee shall take no action referred to in this Section 9.8 unless instructed to do so by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative). Section 9.9 Limitation on Suits. Any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a Noteholder may pursue a remedy with respect to the Indenture or any other Related Document only if: (a) the Noteholder gives to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (b) the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount make a written request to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative to pursue the remedy; (c) such Noteholder or Noteholders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative against any loss, liability or expense; 109 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; (e) during such sixty (60) day period, the Majority of Senior Noteholders do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request; and (f) such remedy does not violate the express terms of the Notes and the other Related Documents; and (g) (f) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) has consented to the pursuit of such remedy. A Noteholder may not use the Indenture or any other Related Document to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder. Section 9.10 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder of the Note. Section 9.11 The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Noteholders and any other Secured Party (as applicable) allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Master Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders or any other Secured Party, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money and other properties which any of the Noteholders or any other Secured Party may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or 110
the rights of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party in any such proceeding. Section 9.12 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 9.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee (or by the Control Party for any contractual or legal remedy available to the Trustee), a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 9.9 or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series of Notes. Section 9.13 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, any Noteholder or any other Secured Party has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture or any other Related Document and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder or other Secured Party, then and in every such case the Trustee and the Noteholders and any such other Secured Party shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. Section 9.14 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under the Indenture or any other Related Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under the Indenture or any other Related Document, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Every right and remedy given by this Article IX or by law to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party may be exercised from time to time to the extent not inconsistent with the Indenture, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Control Party, the 111 Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party, as the case may be. Section 9.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Master Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture or any other Related Document; and the Master Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. ARTICLE X THE TRUSTEE Section 10.1 Duties of the Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Event actually known to a Trust Officer has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the receipt ofact upon directions with respect to such matter from the Control Party in accordance with the terms of this Base Indenture or another Related Document in which event the Trustee’s sole obligation will be to await such direction and act or refrain from acting in accordance therewith) and exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture and the other Related Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Event of Default, a Rapid Amortization Event, a Manager Termination Event or a Servicer Termination Event of which a Trust Officer has not received written notice; provided, further, that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction due to the acts or failure to act of the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any Event of Default, Rapid Amortization Event, a Manager Termination Event or a Servicer Termination Event or for acting or failing to act due to any direction or lack of direction from the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative. The preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct except as provided in Section 10.1(c). The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of the Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Issuer under the Indenture. 112
(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Rapid Amortization Event, Manager Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event of which a Trust Officer shall have Actual Knowledge: (i) The Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in the Indenture or any other Related Document to which it is a party and no others, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture or any other Related Document against the Trustee; and (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture and any other applicable Related Document; provided, however, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine such certificates or opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of the Indenture and shall promptly notify the party of any non-conformity. (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, bad faith or willful misconduct, except that: (i) This clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 10.1. (ii) The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proven that the Trustee was grossly negligent, acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts. (iii) The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith at the direction of the Manager, the Master Issuer, the Control Party and/or a Holder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Base Indenture or applicable law. (iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Manager Termination Event, Potential Manager Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event or the commencement and continuation of a Cash Trapping Period until such time as a Trust Officer shall have Actual Knowledge or have received written notice thereof. In the absence of such Actual Knowledge or receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such event has occurred or is continuing. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture or any of the other Related Documents, no provision of the Indenture or the other Related Documents shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or exercises of its rights or powers hereunder, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it by the terms of the Indenture or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Trustee may refuse to perform any 113 duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any risk, loss, liability or expense. (e) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Registrar, as the case may be, under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated as soon as practicable upon Actual Knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required. (f) Subject to Section 10.3, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Indenture or any of the other Related Documents. (g) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture and the other Related Documents relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1. (h) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Securitized Assets or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Securitized Assets or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Securitization Entities to the Securitized Assets, for insuring the Securitized Assets or for the payment of Taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Securitized Assets or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Securitized Assets. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of the Indenture or the other Related Documents by the Securitization Entities. (i) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the Indenture or at the direction of the Servicer, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative or the Holders of the requisite percentage of Notes, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Indenture, any other circumstances in which direction is required or permitted by the terms of the Indenture or applicable law. (j) The Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Base Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recordings or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof; (ii) to see to any insurance, (iii) except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1(e), to see to the payment or discharge of any Tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind or (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of 114
the Manager, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager or the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture or any other Related Document believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. (k) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with or as a result of the performance of its duties under the Indenture. (l) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, the Trustee shall make Debt Service Advances to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 5.12(a)(iii) hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Related Document to the contrary, the Trustee will not be responsible for advancing any principal on the Senior Notes, any make-whole prepayment premiums, any Series Hedge Payment Amounts, any Class A-1 Notes Administrative Expenses, any Class A-1 Quarterly Commitment Fee Amounts, any Post-ARD Contingent Interest or any reserve amounts or any interest or principal payable on, or any other amount due with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes (if any) or the Subordinated Notes (if any). (ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Trustee if (i) the Trustee determines such Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance (including interest thereon) would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) on and from the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or an Advance Suspension Period is in effect. The determination by the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by the Trustee in its reasonable good faith judgment. In no event will the Trustee be required to make a Collateral Protection Advance, including a Requested Collateral Protection Advance, unless the Servicer has determined that such Collateral Protection Advance has been approved, the Servicer has subsequently failed to make such Collateral Protection Advance and the Trustee has determined that such Collateral Protection Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on the determination of the Servicer that an Advance (and interest thereon) is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such determination will be conclusive and binding on the Holders. However, no Advance will be required to be made by the Trustee if the Trustee determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Advance (including interest thereon) would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (or, on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, if an Advance Suspension Period is in effect). The Trustee may update or change its nonrecoverability determination at any time, and may decide that a requested Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance that was previously deemed to be a Nonrecoverable Advance shall have become recoverable or that a Debt Service Advance or Collateral Protection Advance that was previously made shall have become nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all outstanding Debt Service Advances 115 and Collateral Protection Advances made by the Trustee and any accrued interest thereon will be paid strictly in accordance with the Priority of Payments, even if the Trustee determines that any such advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance after such Advance has been made. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will not be required to make any Debt Service Advance in respect of any Class A-1 Interest Adjustment Amount to the extent such Debt Service Advance would be duplicative of a Debt Service Advance already made. (iii) The Trustee shall be entitled to receive interest at the Advance Interest Rate accrued on the amount of each Debt Service Advance made thereby (with its own funds) for so long as such Debt Service Advance is outstanding. Such interest with respect to any Debt Service Advance made pursuant to this Section 10.1(k) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, compounded monthly, and shall be payable to the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in arrears on each Interim Allocation Date, to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments pursuant to Section 5.12 hereof and the other applicable provisions of the Related Documents. Debt Service Advances (and all interest thereon) and Collateral Protection Advances (and all interest thereon) will be payable on each Interim Allocation Date to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Section 10.2 Rights of the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1: (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting based upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, instrument, report, consent, order, document or other paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper Person. (b) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. (c) The Trustee may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such non-affiliated agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care; provided, however, the Trustee shall have received the consent of the Servicer prior to the appointment of any agent, custodian or nominee performing any material obligation of the Trustee hereunder. (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes, suffers or omits to take in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct which it believes to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture or the applicable Related Documents. 116
(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Related Document, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or thereunder or in relation hereto or thereto, at the request, order or direction of the Servicer, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, any of the Holders or any other Secured Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement, unless the Trustee shall have been offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. (f) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Event, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all then Outstanding Notes. If the Trustee is so requested or determines in its own discretion to make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit, the Trustee shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Securitization Entities, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost of the Master Issuer and the Trustee shall incur no liability by reason of such inquiry or investigation. (g) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Base Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall be not be liable in the absence of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for the performance of such act.

Patriot Act, to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Trustee will obtain, verify, and record information that identifies individuals or entities that establish a relationship or open an account with the Trustee. The Trustee will ask for the name, address, tax identification number and other information that will allow the Trustee to identify the individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the account. The Trustee may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be provided. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Trustee that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary or sensitive information and sent by electronic mail will be encrypted. The recipient of the email communication will be required to complete a one-time registration process. (j) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service, accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or 117 governmental actions (it being understood that the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances). (k) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder. (l) All rights of action and claims under this Base Indenture may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payments to the Trustee provided for in Section 10.5, be distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments. (m) The Trustee may request written direction from any applicable party any time the Indenture provides that the Trustee may be directed to act. (n) Any request or direction of the Master Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order. (o) Whenever in the administration of the Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Master Issuer, the Manager or the Servicer and shall incur no liability for its reliance thereon. (p) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy of the books or records of, or for any acts or omissions of, DTC, any transfer agent (other than the Trustee itself acting in that capacity), Clearstream, Euroclear, any calculation agent (other than the Trustee itself acting in that capacity), or any agent appointed by it with due care or any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee itself acting in that capacity). (q) The Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as an investment advisor, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain Eligible Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Eligible Investments. The Trustee does not guarantee the performance of any Eligible Investments. (r) The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the Servicer or the Master Issuer. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer or the Master Issuer to provide timely written investment direction. The Trustee does not have any duty to confirm that investments selected by the Master Issuer are Eligible Investments. Whenever the Trustee is instructed to invest funds in any of the Indenture Trust Accounts, including the Standby Investment, the Trustee shall so invest such funds as soon as reasonably 118
practicable after receipt of such instructions, and failure to transfer the Investment Income on an Interim Allocation Date will not be an Event of Default. (s) The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate nor shall it be responsible or liable for any calculation of the DSCR, New Series Pro Forma DSCR or the Interest-Only DSCR. (t) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee, in each case, with respect to its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. (u) The Trustee shall be afforded, in each Related Document, all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities granted to it in this Base Indenture as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set out in each such Related Document.

If an Event of Default, a Default, a Rapid Amortization Event or a Potential Rapid Amortization Event occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall promptly provide the Noteholders, the Servicer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Master Issuer, any Class A-1 Administrative Agent and each Rating Agency for each Series of Notes Outstanding with notice of such Event of Default, Default, Rapid Amortization Event or Potential Rapid Amortization Event, to the extent that the Notes of such Series are Book-Entry Notes, by telephone and facsimile and otherwise by first class mail. Section 10.5 Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Master Issuer shall promptly pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of the Indenture and services hereunder and under the other Related Documents to which the Trustee is a party as the Trustee and the Master Issuer shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Master Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (including, without limitation, the Priority of Payments). Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and outside counsel. The Master Issuer shall not be required to reimburse any expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Event occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code. (b) The Master Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any loss, liability, claim, expense (including Taxes, other than Taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee), damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of or in connection with (i) the activities of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Related Documents to which the Trustee is a party and (ii) the security interest granted hereby, whether arising by virtue of any act or omission on the part of the Master Issuer or otherwise, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding, claim (whether asserted by the Master Issuer, the Servicer, the Control Party or any Noteholder or any other Person), liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or under any Related Document, the preservation of any of its rights to, or the realization upon, any of the Collateral, or the Securitized Assets, to the extent permitted by applicable law, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 10.5(b); provided, however, that the Master Issuer shall not indemnify the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or 120
omissions constitute willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee, as the case may be. (c) The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of the Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee. Section 10.6 Replacement of the Trustee.

Within one (1) year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Majority of Controlling Class Members (with the prior written consent of the Control Party) may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Master Issuer. (c) If a successor Trustee is not appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee is not delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, at the direction of the Control Party, the retiring Trustee, at the expense of the Master Issuer, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. (d) If the Trustee after written request by the Servicer or any Noteholder fails to comply with Section 10.8, the Servicer or such Noteholder may petition any court of 121 competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. (e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or removed Trustee and to the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, and the Master Issuer.

The successor Trustee shall maildeliver a notice of its succession to the Noteholders and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.6, the Master Issuer’s obligations under Section 10.5 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. (f) No successor Trustee may accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor is qualified and eligible under this Base Indenture and a Rating Agency Notification has been provided and the Control Party has provided its consent with respect to such appointment. Section 10.7 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. Subject to Section 10.8, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that written notice of such consolidation, merger or conversion shall be provided to the Master Issuer, the Servicer, the Noteholders and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager); provided, further, that the resulting or successor corporation is eligible to be a Trustee under Section 10.8. Section 10.8 Eligibility Disqualification. (a) There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall (i) be a bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, (ii) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, (iv) be reasonably acceptable to the Servicer and (v) have a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB” by S&P and, if it has a rating by KBRA, “BBB” by KBRA.

Section 10.9 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Related Document, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Securitized Assets may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power upon notice to the Control Party, the Master Issuer and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager) and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Securitized Assets, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, such title to the Collateral (or other rights in and to the Securitized Assets), or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.9, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.

No notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.6. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Servicer and the Master Issuer unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder. (b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) the Notes of each Series (other than Uncertificated Notes) shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee; (ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral (or other rights in and to the Securitized Assets) or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; (iii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such trustee or co-trustee as an agent of the Trustee; and (iv) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given 123 to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Base Indenture and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement and any other Related Documents to which the Trustee is a party, specifically including every provision of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement, or any other Related Document which the Trustee is a party relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Master Issuer (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager). (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Related Document on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

ARTICLE XI CONTROLLING CLASS REPRESENTATIVE AND CONTROL PARTY Section 11.1 Controlling Class Representative. (a) On the Closing Date and at any time when no Person is serving as the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with this Article XI, (i) the Control Party shall 124
exercise the rights of the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Control Party shall have no obligations to interact with any Holders (including providing any notices or deliverables) and (ii) any deliverable or notice that is required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative under a Related Document shall be delivered to the Control Party. (b) (b) (I) Prior to the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date: Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date or any other CCR Re-election Event, the Trustee shall send via email to the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and via the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency with respect to the Class A-2 Notes a written notice (with copies to the Manager and the Master Issuer) in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto, announcing an election and soliciting nominations for a Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Election Notice”). Each Controlling Class Member will be allowed to nominate itself as a CCR Candidate (and will not be permitted to nominate any other Person or entity as a CCR Candidate) by submitting a nomination to the Trustee in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto (a “CCR Nomination”) certifying that, as of a date not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the CCR Election Notice, such Controlling Class Member was the Holder of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified in its CCR Nomination and that it is not a Competitor; provided that for purposes of such nomination and determining the CCR Candidates pursuant to Section 11.1(c), with respect to any Series of Class A-1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Series. For any nomination to be valid, the CCR Nomination shall be delivered to the Trustee within five (5) Business Days of the date of the CCR Election Notice (such period, the “CCR Nomination Period”). (II) on and after the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date: Within thirty (30) Business Days after a Series Closing Date or any other CCR Re-election Event, the Trustee shall post a notice on its password-protected website at http://www.sf.citidirect.com and the notice (i) with respect to Book-Entry Notes through the Applicable Procedures of DTC and (ii) with respect to any Class A-1 Notes, via email to each Class A-1 Administrative Agent, in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto, announcing an election and soliciting nominations for a Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Election Notice”). The CCR Election Notice will state that the Person already acting as Controlling Class Representative (such Person, an “Existing CCR”), if any, will automatically be listed as a nominee unless such Existing CCR notifies the Trustee during the CCR Nomination Period that it does not wish to continue as Controlling Class Representative. Each Controlling Class Member will be allowed to nominate itself as a CCR Candidate (and will not be permitted to nominate any other Person or entity as a CCR Candidate) by submitting a nomination to the Trustee in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto (a “CCR Nomination”). A CCR Candidate does not have to be a Controlling Class 125 Member, but if it is not a Controlling Class Member, it must certify that (i) it is an established enterprise in the business of providing credit support, governance or other advisory services to holders of notes similar to the Notes issued by the Master Issuer and (ii) it is not (w) a Competitor, (x) a Franchisee, (y) any of the certain disqualified Persons identified by the Manager to the Trustee in writing on or before a Series Closing Date or (z) formed solely to act as the Controlling Class Representative (the candidate described in clauses (i) and (ii), an “Eligible Third-Party Candidate”). Each Controlling Class Member nominating a CCR Candidate will also be required to represent and warrant that, as of a date not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the CCR Election Notice, such Controlling Class Member was the Holder of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified in its CCR Nomination or an Eligible Third-Party Candidate and that it is not a Competitor; provided that for purposes of such nomination and determining the CCR Candidates pursuant to Section 11.1(c), with respect to any Series of Class A-1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Series. For any nomination to be valid, the CCR Nomination shall be delivered to the Trustee within ten (10) Business Days of the date of the CCR Election Notice (such period, the “CCR Nomination Period”). CCR Nominations may be submitted by Controlling Class Members to the Trustee in .pdf format via email at the email address for such purpose set forth in the CCR Nomination Notice, and no originals, notarizations or medallion signature guarantees will be required, and the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on, and will be fully protected in relying on, CCR Nominations submitted in such manner. Each nomination will include a contact for the CCR Candidate, together with such contact’s direct email and telephone number, that will be available to answer any questions raised by a Noteholder or Note Owner. Such contact information will be posted on the Trustee’s website. There is no minimum denomination required to be held by a Controlling Class Member for it to nominate a CCR Candidate. Each CCR Nomination shall become irrevocable upon receipt by the Trustee of a valid and complete CCR Nomination. For nomination purposes, with respect to each Series of Class A-1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount will be used in place of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Class A-1 Notes. (c) (c) (I) Prior to the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date: Based upon the CCR Nominations that are received by the Trustee, within three (3) Business Days following the end of the CCR Nomination Period, (i) if no nomination has been received and there is no Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall notify the Manager, the Master Issuer, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Controlling Class Members that no nominations have been received and that no election will occur, (ii) if one or more nominations have been received, the Trustee shall prepare and send to each applicable Controlling Class Member a ballot in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the “CCR Ballot”) naming the top three candidates based upon the highest aggregate Outstanding 126
Principal Amount of Notes of Controlling Class Members nominating such candidate (or, if fewer than three (3) candidates are nominated, the CCR Ballot will list all candidates) or (iii) if a Controlling Class Representative currently exists and no CCR Nominations are received prior to the end of the CCR Nomination Period, then the Person serving as the current Controlling Class Representative will be deemed reelected and will remain the Controlling Class Representative. Each Controlling Class Member may, in its sole discretion, indicate its vote for Controlling Class Representative by returning a completed CCR Ballot directly to the Trustee certifying that, as of the date of the CCR Ballot (the “CCR Voting Record Date”), such Controlling Class Member was the owner or beneficial owner of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified by such Controlling Class Member in the CCR Ballot; provided that for the purposes of such certification and the tabulation of votes pursuant to Section 11.1(d), with respect to any Series of Class A-1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Series. For any vote delivered on a CCR Ballot to be valid, such CCR Ballot must be delivered to the Trustee within five (5) Business Days of the date of such CCR Ballot (such period a “CCR Election Period”). (II) on and after the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date: Based upon the CCR Nominations that are received by the Trustee, within three (3) Business Days following the end of the CCR Nomination Period, (i) if no nomination has been received and there is no Existing CCR, the Trustee shall notify the Manager, the Master Issuer, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Controlling Class Members that no nominations have been received and that no election will occur, or (ii) if no nomination has been received and there is an Existing CCR, the Trustee will forward a CCR Acceptance Letter to the Existing CCR requesting an affirmative election by the Existing CCR to continue its role as Controlling Class Representative. If the Trustee does not receive a CCR Acceptance Letter from the Existing CCR within ten (10) Business Days of delivery thereof, the Existing CCR will no longer serve as the Controlling Class Representative, and the Trustee will deliver a notice stating that no CCR Election will be held and that the Existing CCR will no longer continue to serve as the Controlling Class Representative, effective as of the date of such notice; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of such CCR Election Notice will not constitute a CCR Re-election Event for purposes of clause (c) of the definition thereof. If one or more nominations have been received (other than with respect to the Existing CCR, if any), the Trustee shall prepare and send to each applicable Controlling Class Member a ballot in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the “CCR Ballot”) naming the top three candidates based upon the highest aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of Controlling Class Members nominating such candidate (or, if fewer than three (3) candidates are nominated, the CCR Ballot will list all candidates). Each Controlling Class Member may, in its sole discretion, indicate its vote for Controlling Class Representative by returning a completed CCR Ballot directly to the Trustee certifying that, as of the date of the CCR Ballot (the “CCR Voting Record Date”), such Controlling Class 127 Member was the Note Owner (or the DTC custodian of such Note Owner) or Noteholder of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified by such Controlling Class Member in the CCR Ballot and including a notarization or medallion signature guarantee; provided that for the purposes of such certification and the tabulation of votes pursuant to Section 11.1(d), with respect to any Series of Class A-1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Series. For any vote delivered on a CCR Ballot to be valid, such CCR Ballot must be delivered to the Trustee within ten (10) Business Days of the date of such CCR Ballot (such period a “CCR Election Period”). In completing a CCR Ballot, the Controlling Class Member (or its DTC custodian on its behalf) will vote the full Outstanding Principal Amount (or, with respect to the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount) of Notes of the Controlling Class specified in the CCR Ballot to one (1) candidate and, for the avoidance of doubt, no more than one (1) candidate will be indicated per CUSIP. CCR Ballots may be submitted by Controlling Class Members to the Trustee in .pdf format via email at the email address for such purpose set forth in the CCR Ballots and no originals will be required, and the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on, and will be fully protected in relying on, CCR Ballots submitted in such manner. Each CCR Ballot will become irrevocable upon receipt by the Trustee of a valid and complete CCR Ballot. At the end of the CCR Election Period, the Trustee will tabulate the votes that were submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last day of the CCR Election Period (the “CCR Election Cut-Off”). If, on the CCR Election Cut-Off, both (i) the CCR Voting Amount is greater than or equal to the CCR Quorum Amount and (ii) a CCR Candidate receives votes representing in excess of 50% of the CCR Voting Amount, such CCR Candidate will be elected the Controlling Class Representative. (d) (d) (I) Prior to the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date: If a CCR Candidate receives votes from the Majority of Controlling Class Members, such CCR Candidate shall be appointed the Controlling Class Representative. Notes of the Controlling Class held by the Master Issuer or any Affiliate of the Master Issuer will not be considered Outstanding for such voting purposes. If two CCR Candidates receive the same number of votes, the Controlling Class Representative shall be the CCR Candidate chosen by the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf pursuant to the Management Agreement). In the event that there is no current Controlling Class Representative and no CCR Candidate receives votes from the Majority of Controlling Class Members, the Trustee will notify the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed, and until a CCR Re-election Event occurs and a new Controlling Class Representative is elected then (i) the Control Party shall exercise the rights of the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) any deliverable 128
or notice that is required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative under a Related Document shall be delivered to the Control Party. (II) on and after the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date: Notes of the Controlling Class held by the Master Issuer or any Affiliate of the Master Issuer will not be considered Outstanding for such voting purposes. If two CCR Candidates both receive votes from Controlling Class Members owning (or owning any beneficial interest) exactly 50% of the CCR Voting Amount as of the CCR Election Cut-Off, the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf pursuant to the Management Agreement) will select the Controlling Class Representative from among such CCR Candidates receiving votes from Controlling Class Members owning (or owning any beneficial interest) exactly 50% of the CCR Voting Amount. If, by the CCR Election Cut-Off, either (i) no CCR Candidate receives votes representing at least 50% of the CCR Voting Amount or (ii) votes are submitted by less than the CCR Quorum Amount, the Trustee will notify the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members that a Controlling Class Representative will not be elected and until a CCR Re-election Event occurs and a Controlling Class Representative is elected or selected (i) the Control Party will exercise the rights of the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) any deliverable or notice that is required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative under a Related Document will be delivered to the Control Party. A Controlling Class Representative (if any) will serve as Controlling Class Representative only until the next CCR Re-election Event unless it is then re-elected as Controlling Class Representative or it consents to remain as Controlling Class Representative if no successor Controlling Class Representative is then elected. (e) In the event that a Controlling Class Representative is elected (or prior to the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, deemed elected) or chosen pursuant to Section 11.1(d), the Trustee shall forward an acceptance letter in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (a “CCR Acceptance Letter”) to such Controlling Class Representative. No Person shall be appointed Controlling Class Representative unless such Person delivers to the Trustee an executed CCR Acceptance Letter within fiveten (510) Business Days of receipt thereof. In the CCR Acceptance Letter, the Person accepting the role of Controlling Class Representative shall (i) agree to act as the Controlling Class Representative, (ii) provide its name and contact information and permit such information to be shared with the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members and (iii) represent and warrant that it is a Controlling Class Member and not a Competitor. Within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the executed CCR Acceptance Letter, the Trustee shall promptly forward copies thereof, or provide the new Controlling Class Representative’s identity and contact information to the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members. (f) Within two (2) Business Days of any other change in the name or address of the Controlling Class Representative of which the Trustee has received notice from the 129 Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholder Noteholders (via the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency, in the case of Book-Entry Notes), the Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Master Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Servicer a notice setting forth the name and address of the new Controlling Class Representative. (g) The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and will be fully protected in all actions taken or not taken by it with respect to, (i) the email information provided by the Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency for delivery of the CCR Election Notices and CCR Ballots to Holders and beneficial owners of the Controlling Class and (ii) with respect to all CCR Re-election Events, the representations and warranties of the Persons submitting CCR Nominations, CCR Ballots and CCR Acceptance Letters. (h) The Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer and Control Party) and the Back-Up Manager shall each be entitled to rely on the identity of the Controlling Class Representative provided by the Trustee with respect to any obligation or right hereunder or under the other Related Documents that the Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer and Control Party) or the Back-Up Manager, as the case may be, may have to deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Controlling Class Representative or any of the Noteholders of the Controlling Class, with no liability to it for such reliance. (i) The Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to receive from the Trustee, upon request, any memoranda delivered to the Trustee by the Back-Up Manager pursuant to the Back-Up Management Agreement; provided, that it shall have first executed a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager, and such confidentiality agreement remains in effect. Any such memoranda shall be deemed to contain confidential information. 130
Section 11.2 Resignation or Removal of the Controlling Class Representative. The Controlling Class Representative may at any time resign as such by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager, the Servicer and to each Noteholder of the Controlling Class. As of any Record Date, a Majority of Controlling Class Members shall be entitled to remove any existing Controlling Class Representative by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager, the Servicer and such existing Controlling Class Representative. No resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative shall be effective until a successor Controlling Class Representative has been appointed pursuant to Section 11.1 or until the end of the CCR Election Period (or, if no CCR Election Period has occurred after a CCR Nomination Period, until the end of the related CCR Nomination Period), or on and after the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, the CCR Re-Election Event following such resignation or removal; provided that any Controlling Class Representative that has been removed pursuant to this Section 11.2 may subsequently be nominated as a CCR Candidate pursuant to Section 11.1 (provided that such Controlling Class Representative candidate satisfies the requirements of this Base Indenture) and appointed as Controlling Class Representative. In addition to the foregoing, within two (2) Business Days of the selection, resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the parties to this Base Indenture of such event. Section 11.3 Expenses and Liabilities of the Controlling Class Representative. (a) The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Holders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to the Indenture or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct committed with respect to its obligations or duties under the Indenture. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Notes or interests therein, that (i) the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Note Owners of one or more Classes of Notes, or that conflict with other Holders, (ii) the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Controlling Class Members or in its own interest, (iii) the Controlling Class Representative does not have any duties to Holders other than the Controlling Class Members, (iv) the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor the interests of the Controlling Class Members over the interests of Holders of one or more other Classes of Notes, or that favor its own interests over those of other Holders or other Controlling Class Members, (v) the Controlling Class Representative shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Controlling Class Members or in its own interests, and (vi) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted pursuant to clauses (i) through (v), and no Holder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative for having so acted or against any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted. (b) Any and all expenses of the Controlling Class Representative for acting in its capacity as Controlling Class Representative shall be borne by the Controlling Class Members, (and on and after the Series 2025-1 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, from amounts otherwise payable to the Controlling Class Members) pro rata according to their 131 respective Outstanding Principal Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made against the Controlling Class Representative and the Servicer or the Trustee are also named parties to the same action and, in the sole judgment of the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative had acted in good faith, without gross negligence or willful misconduct, with regard to the particular matter at issue, and there is no potential for the Servicer or the Trustee to be an adverse party in such action as regards the Controlling Class Representative, the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be required to assume the defense (with any costs incurred in connection therewith being deemed to be reimbursable as a Collateral Protection Advance) of any such claim against the Controlling Class Representative. Section 11.4 Control Party. (a) Pursuant to the Indenture and the other Related Documents, the Control Party is authorized to consent to and implement, subject to the Servicing Standard, Consent Requests that do not require the consent of any Noteholder or the Controlling Class Representative. (b) For any Consent Request that expressly requires, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the other Related Documents, the consent or direction of any Noteholders or the Controlling Class Representative, pursuant to the terms of the Related Documents, the Servicer, as Control Party, shall review such Consent Request and shall formulate and present a Consent Recommendation to the Controlling Class Representative or to the Trustee to forward to such Noteholders, as applicable, whether to approve or reject such Consent Request. The Control Party shall not be authorized to implement any such Consent Request until the Control Party receives the consent of the applicable Noteholders or the Controlling Class Representative; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative fails to approve or reject a Consent Request within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Consent Request and the related Consent Recommendation, or if there is no Person acting as the Controlling Class Representative at such time (including, without limitation, prior to the first CCR Election Period, prior to the election of a Controlling Class Representative or following the resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to Section 11.1), the Control Party shall implement such Consent Request in accordance with the Servicing Standard, other than with respect to Servicer Termination Events. (c) For any Consent Requests that expressly require the consent, waiver or direction of affected Noteholders or 100% of the Noteholders pursuant to Section 13.2 or the other Related Documents, the Control Party shall review such Consent Request and shall formulate and present a Consent Recommendation to the Trustee, which shall forward the Consent Request and the Consent Recommendation to each Noteholder or each affected Noteholder, as applicable. The Trustee will be required to obtain the consent of the applicable Noteholders, as required under the Related Documents, to implement such Consent Requests and until such time as the Control Party has been provided with copies of the consents received by the Trustee, the Control Party shall not be authorized to implement such Consent Requests. (d) The Control Party shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Master Issuer and the Controlling Class Representative if the Control Party determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, not to implement a Consent 132
Request or has not received the requisite consent of the Controlling Class Representative or the Noteholders, if applicable, to implement a Consent Request. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Control Party, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Master Issuer and the Controlling Class Representative if the Trustee has not received the requisite consent of the required percentage of Noteholders to implement a Consent Request. (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from or by the Controlling Class Representative may (i) require or cause the Trustee, the Control Party or the Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of this Indenture, the Notes, the Servicing Agreement or the other Related Documents, including, without limitation with respect to the Control Party and the Servicer, the Control Party’s and the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (ii) expose the Control Party, the Servicer or the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents or partners, to any material claim, suit or liability, or (iii) expand the scope of the Control Party’s or the Servicer’s responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement or other Related Documents or the Trustee’s responsibility under this Indenture, the Notes and the other Related Documents or reduce such parties’ rights thereunder. The Trustee, the Control Party and the Servicer will not be required to follow any such advice, direction, or objection. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or in the other Related Documents to the contrary, the Controlling Class Representative shall not be able to prevent the Control Party from transferring the ownership of all or any portion of the Securitized Assets (including by way of foreclosure on the Equity Interests of the Master Issuer) if any Advance by the Servicer has been outstanding for ninety (90) days (or longer) and the Control Party determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such transfer of ownership would be in the best interests of the Noteholders (taken as a whole). Section 11.5 Note Owner List. (a) To facilitate communication among Note Owners, the Manager, the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative, a Note Owner may elect, but is not required, to notify the Trustee of its name, address and other contact information, which will be kept in a register maintained by the Trustee. The Trustee will be required to furnish the Manager, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager, and the Controlling Class Representative upon request with the information maintained in such register as of the most recent date of determination. Every Note Owner, by receiving and holding a beneficial interest in a Note, will agree that none of the Trustee, the Master Issuer, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, the Controlling Class Representative nor any of their respective agents will be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Note Owners in the register maintained by the Trustee. (b) Noteholders under any Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement (“VFN Noteholders”) having interests of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including any unfunded commitments of any VFN Noteholder under any Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement) or Note Owners having beneficial interests of not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes that wish to communicate with the other Note Owners and VFN Noteholders with respect to their rights under the Indenture or under the Notes may request in writing that the Trustee deliver a notice or communication to the other Note 133 Owners through the Applicable Procedures of each Clearing Agency, and to the VFN Noteholders through the applicable Class A-1 Administrative Agent, with respect to all Series of Notes Outstanding. If such request states that such Note Owners or VFN Noteholders desire to communicate with other Note Owners and VFN Noteholders with respect to their rights under the Indenture or under the Notes and is accompanied by (i) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I certifying that such Note Owners hold beneficial interests of not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes or that such VFN Noteholders hold interests of not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including any unfunded commitments of such VFN Noteholders under any Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement) (each, a “Note Owner Certificate”) (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) and (ii) a copy of the communication which such Note Owners or VFN Noteholders propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Note Owners or VFN Noteholders, as applicable, for its costs and expenses, shall transmit the requested communication to all other Note Owners through the Applicable Procedures of each Clearing Agency and to all other VFN Noteholders through the applicable Class A-1 Administrative Agent, with respect to all Series of Notes Outstanding, and shall give the Master Issuer, the Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative notice that such request has been made, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the request.

(b) The Master Issuer or the Trustee by notice to each other party may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications; provided, however, the Master Issuer may not at any time designate more than a total of three (3) addresses to which notices must be sent in order to be effective. (c) Any notice (i) given in person shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice, (ii) given by first class mail shall be deemed given five (5) days after the date that such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by facsimile shall be deemed given on the date of delivery of such notice, (iv) delivered by overnight air courier shall be deemed delivered one (1) Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to such overnight courier, (v) when posted on a password-protected website shall be deemed delivered after notice of such posting has been provided to the recipient and (vi) delivered by email shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice. (d) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no liability based upon or arising from the failure to receive any notice required by or relating to the Indenture, the Notes or any other Related Document. (e) If the Master Issuer delivers a notice or communication to Noteholders, it shall deliver a copy to the Back-Up Manager, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative and the Trustee at the same time. 148
(f) Where the Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if sent in writing and mailed,by email, or if an email address has not been provided, by overnight courier or first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed (if any) for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to a Noteholder is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made that is satisfactory to the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

If such person elects to give the Trustee email (of .pdf or similar files) (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. 149 Section 14.2 Communication by Holders With Other Holders.

Section 14.18 Calculation of Holdco Leverage Ratio and Senior ABS Leverage Ratio. (a) Holdco Leverage Ratio. For purposes of making the computation of the Holdco Leverage Ratio (including, without limitation the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA used therein), investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, and any restructurings or reorganizations, that any of the Non-Securitization Entities has either determined to make or made during the preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods or subsequent to such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods and on or prior to or simultaneously with the date as of which such computation is made (each, for purposes of the calculations described in this Section 14.18, a “pro forma event”) shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated on a pro forma basis only assuming that all such investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations, restructurings and reorganizations (and the change in Adjusted EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Non-Securitization Entity since the beginning of such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods shall have made any investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation, restructurings or reorganizations, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have been subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.18, then the Holdco Leverage Ratio shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, consolidation, restructuring or reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods. 153 (b) Senior ABS Leverage Ratio. For purposes of making the computation of the Senior ABS Leverage Ratio (including, without limitation the calculation of Net Cash Flow used therein), any pro forma event shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations, restructurings and reorganizations (and the change in Net Cash Flow resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Securitization Entity since the beginning of such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods shall have made any investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation, restructurings or reorganizations in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have been subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.18, then the Senior ABS Leverage Ratio shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated giving pro forma effect for any related thereto for such period as if such investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, consolidation, restructurings or reorganizations had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods. (c) Calculations to be Made in Good Faith. For purposes of the calculations described in this Section 14.18, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Manager. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Manager as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (with respect to which the Trustee shall have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to reflect (1) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable pro forma event, and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” or “Net Cash Flow” as set forth in the definition thereof, to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such preceding four Quarterly Collection Periods. (d) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP (including a conversion of Holdco’s financial reporting to IFRS) would affect the computation of any covenant, incurrence test or other restriction affecting any Securitization Entity or Non-Securitization Entity that is set forth in this Base Indenture or any Related Document (including the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA), and the Manager shall so request, the Control Party and the Manager shall negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions of the Related Documents related to such covenant, incurrence test or other restriction to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided that, until so amended, such covenant, incurrence test or other restriction shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP or the application thereof prior to such change therein. If the Manager notifies the Control Party that Holdco is required to report under IFRS or has elected to do so through an early adoption policy, “GAAP” shall mean international financial reporting standards pursuant to IFRS (provided that after such conversion, Holdco cannot elect to report under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles). 154

Instructions, directions, notices or reports to be provided by the Master Issuer or any other Securitization Entity hereunder, may be provided by the Manager on behalf of the Master Issuer.

Any requirement in this Indenture, Indenture Documents or Related Documents, that a document, including any Notes, is to be signed or authenticated by “manual signature” or similar language shall not be deemed to prohibit signature to be by facsimile or electronic signature and shall not be deemed to prohibit delivery thereof by Electronic Transmission; provided that upon the request of any Noteholder that any of its Notes be delivered in physical form, the Master Issuer and the Trustee shall cooperate to deliver such Notes to such Noteholder in physical form as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no more than ten (10) Business Days from the date of such request in any event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Base Indenture, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Trustee that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary and/or sensitive information and sent by Electronic Transmission will be encrypted. The recipient of the Electronic Transmission will be required to complete a one-time registration process.

Except as provided in Section 2.2(d) of this Series Supplement, on any Business Day, the Master Issuer may decrease the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount (each such decrease of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), a “Voluntary Decrease”) by depositing in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Distribution Account not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date specified as the decrease date in the prior written notice referred to below and providing a written 4 report to the Trustee directing the Trustee to distribute in accordance with the Class A-1 Order of Distribution (i) an amount (subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.2(b)) up to the Series 2025- 1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount equal to the amount of such Voluntary Decrease, plus (ii) any associated Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amounts incurred as a result of such decrease (calculated in accordance with the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement); provided that to the extent the deposit into the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Distribution Account described above is made after 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Business Day, the same shall be deemed to be deposited on the following Business Day; provided, further, that (x) in the case of SOFR Advances or CP Advances, the Master Issuer shall provide written notice no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Voluntary Decrease and (y) in the case of Base Rate Advances, the Master Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall provide written notice no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Voluntary Decrease, in each case to each Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Investor and the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that the Master Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit D of any Voluntary Decrease no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Voluntary Decrease. Each such Voluntary Decrease shall be in a minimum principal amount as provided in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement. In connection with any Voluntary Decrease, the Master Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee, the Servicer and the Manager, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Advances and Manager Advances (in each case, with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate). (c) The Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement sets forth procedures authorizing the Administrative Agent to make notations in its books and records evidencing the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount. (d) The Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement sets forth additional procedures relating to decreases in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount (each such decrease, together with any Voluntary Decrease or Mandatory Decrease allocated to the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Subfacility Noteholders, a “Subfacility Decrease”) through borrowings of Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Advances to repay Series 2025-1 Class A-1 L/C Obligations. (e) The Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement also sets forth procedures relating to permanent reductions in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount. Upon receipt of written notice from the Master Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, of any permanent reductions in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount, the Trustee shall indicate such new Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount in its books and records.

The Manager shall not commingle with its own assets and shall keep separate, segregated and appropriately marked and identified all Securitized Assets and any other property comprising any part of the Collateral, and for such time, if any, as such Securitized Assets or such other property are in the possession or control of the Manager to the extent such Securitized Assets or such other property is Collateral, the Manager shall hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Secured Parties (or, following termination of the Indenture, the applicable Securitization Entity). Additionally, the Manager shall notify the Trustee in the Interim Manager’s Certificate of any amounts incorrectly deposited into the any Indenture Trust Account and arrange for the prompt remittance by the Trustee of such funds from the applicable Indenture Trust Account to the Manager. The Trustee shall have no obligation to verify any information provided to it by the Manager hereunder or contained in any Interim Manager’s Certificate and shall remit such funds to the Manager based solely on such Interim Manager’s Certificate. (l) Other Amounts Received from Franchisees. The Manager shall cause all amounts received, other than Collections, to be deposited directly into an account maintained by the Manager or its Affiliates (other than the Securitization Entities) and not subject to the Lien of the Trustee pursuant to the Related Documents. SECTION 2.2 Advances. (a) Manager Advances. The Manager may, if in its sole discretion it deems such advance recoverable, but shall not be obligated to, make Manager Advances to, or on behalf of, any Securitization Entity in connection with the operation of the Securitized Assets.

expects to be reimbursed for such advances from the proceeds of future Franchisee Lease Payments, it being agreed that any such advances shall not constitute Manager Advances. Each Lease Obligations Advance will be repaid solely from Franchisee Lease Payments received in the Lease Obligations Account after the date of such Lease Obligations Advance. SECTION 2.3 Deposit Accounts. The Manager shall maintain the Management Accounts in accordance with the Indenture. SECTION 2.4 Records. The Manager shall retain all material data (including, without limitation, computerized records) relating directly to, or maintained in connection with, the servicing of the Securitized Assets at its address indicated in SECTION 9.6 (or at an off-site storage facility reasonably acceptable to the Master Issuer and the Control Party) or, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Master Issuer, the Franchisor, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee, at such other place where the servicing office of the Manager is located, and it shall give the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager and the Servicer access to all such data in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.6 of the Base Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be obligated to verify, recalculate or review any such data.

The provisions of this SECTION 2.4 shall not require the Manager to transfer any proprietary material or computer programs unrelated to the servicing of the Securitized Assets. SECTION 2.5 Administrative Duties of Manager. (a) Duties with Respect to the Related Documents. The Manager, in accordance with the Managing Standard, shall perform the duties of the applicable Securitization Entity under the Related Documents except for those duties that are required to be performed by the equity holders or the managers of a limited liability company or the stockholders or directors of a corporation pursuant to applicable law.

In the event the Manager is required to make an indemnification payment pursuant to this SECTION 2.8(a), the Manager shall promptly pay such indemnification payment directly to the applicable Indemnitee (or, if due to a Securitization Entity, shall deposit such indemnification payment directly to the Collection Account). (b) In the event of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant provided in ARTICLE 5 hereof relating to any New Franchise Agreement, New Area Development Agreement, New Securitized Equipment Supply Agreement, New Securitized Authorized Vendor Contract, New Contributed Corporate-Owned StoreClub Asset, Franchisee Note or New Contributed Corporate-Owned StoreClub Lease or Securitized Franchise Lease or After-Acquired Securitization IP, the Manager shall (x) either (i) repurchase such New Franchise Agreement, New Area Development Agreement, New Securitized Equipment Supply Agreement, New Securitized Authorized Vendor Contract, New Contributed Corporate-Owned StoreClub Asset, Franchisee Note or New Contributed Corporate-Owned StoreClub Lease or Securitized Franchise Lease for an amount equal to the related Indemnification Amount or (ii) pay the Indemnification Amount to the applicable Securitization Entity and (y) reimburse the applicable Securitization Entity for the expenses related to defending or enforcing its rights in such After-Acquired Securitization IP; provided, that if the applicable breach affects only a portion of such New Franchise Agreement, New Area Development Agreement, New Securitized Equipment Supply Agreement, New Securitized Authorized Vendor Contract, New Contributed Corporate-Owned StoreClub Asset, Franchisee Note or New Contributed 22
Corporate-Owned StoreClub Lease or Securitized Franchise Lease or After-Acquired Securitization IP without a Material Adverse Effect on the cash flow generated by the unaffected portion, the Manager will only be required to repurchase or pay the Indemnification Amount with respect to the affected portion of such New Franchise Agreement, New Area Development Agreement, New Securitized Equipment Supply Agreement, New Securitized Authorized Vendor Contract, New Contributed Corporate-Owned StoreClub Asset, Franchisee Note or New Contributed Corporate-Owned StoreClub Lease or Securitized Franchise Lease or After-Acquired Securitization IP; provided, further, that the Manager shall not be obligated to pay the Indemnification Amount (I) with respect to any assets that were contributed to any Securitization Entity at the option of the Manager or (II) if the aggregate of all Indemnification Amounts (excluding any Indemnification Amounts that would be required to be paid by the Manager but for the application of clause (I) above) during the fiscal year in which such Indemnification Amounts would be payable is less than the Indemnification Amounts Threshold Amount. Following the payment by the Manager of the related Indemnification Amount and all other applicable amounts under this Agreement, the applicable Securitization Entity will assign the applicable repurchased assets to, or at the direction of the Manager. Any assignment by a Securitization Entity in such manner will be made without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the applicable Securitization Entity, except that the ownership of the reacquired asset must be conveyed free and clear of any Liens created under the Related Documents. Any assignment by a Securitization Entity of a reacquired asset shall include a master franchise or license agreement permitting the Manager and its Affiliates the right to sub-franchise such reacquired Asset. The Manager will be required to pay all costs and expenses associated with the assignment of the reacquired asset in such manner. The Manager, acting in its sole discretion, may subsequently contribute the reacquired asset to the Securitization Entities, if such reacquired asset subsequently satisfies the eligibility criteria applicable to such reacquired asset under this Agreement. (c) In addition to the rights provided in SECTION 2.8(b) above, the Manager agrees to indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless if any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation and/or the assessment of any fines or similar items) shall be brought or asserted against such Indemnitee in respect of a material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant relating to any New Asset provided in ARTICLE 5 hereof to the extent provided in SECTION 2.8(a). (d) Any Indemnitee that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under SECTION 2.8 will promptly, after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against the Manager under such sections, notify the Manager of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee (other than the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents), such Indemnitee shall notify the Manager of the commencement thereof and the Manager shall be entitled to participate in, and to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee (which, in the case of a Securitization Entity, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Control Party, as well), and after notice from the Manager to such Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Manager shall not be liable to such Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided that the Manager shall not 23
enter into any settlement with respect to any claim or proceeding unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such settlement; and provided, further, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action the defense of which is assumed by the Manager in accordance with this SECTION 2.8, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless the employment of counsel by such Indemnitee has been specifically authorized by the Manager, or unless the Manager is advised in writing by counsel that joint representation would give rise to a conflict between the Indemnitee’s position and the position of the Manager and its Affiliates in respect of the defense of the claim. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Trustee or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents (each, a “Trustee Indemnitee”), it shall notify the Manager of the commencement thereof and the Trustee Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action at the expense of the Manager. No Indemnitee shall settle or compromise any claim covered pursuant to this SECTION 2.8 without the prior written consent of the Manager, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The provisions of this SECTION 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of any party hereto. SECTION 2.9 Nonpetition Covenant. The Manager shall not, prior to the date that is (a) one year, or if longer, (b) the applicable preference period then in effect, and in either case of (a) or (b) plus one day, after the payment in full of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of each Series, petition or otherwise invoke the process of any court or governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against any Securitization Entity under any insolvency law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of such Securitization Entity or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of such Securitization Entity. SECTION 2.10 Advertising Funds. The Manager will maintain one or more accounts designated as an “Advertising Fund Account” in the name of NAF (or a Subsidiary thereof) for fees payable in respect of Franchise StoresClubs, Securitized Corporate-Owned StoresClubs and Retained Corporate-Owned StoresClubs to fund the national marketing and advertising activities with respect to the Planet Fitness Brand (the “Advertising Fees”). To the extent not paid directly to NAF by a third-party payment processor, Advertising Fees will be transferred by the Manager from the Securitized Corporate-Owned StoreClub Accounts to an Advertising Fund Account. The Manager shall not make or permit or cause any other Person to make or permit any borrowings to be made or Liens to be levied against the Advertising Fund Account or the funds therein. The Manager shall apply the amount on deposit in each Advertising Fund Account solely to cover (a) the costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date) associated with the administration of such account, (b) costs and expenses related to the national marketing and advertising programs with respect to the Planet Fitness Brand and (c) reimbursements to the Manager for Ad Fund Manager Advances. The Manager may make advances to fund deficits in the Advertising Fund Account (“Ad Fund Manager Advances”) from time to time to the extent that it reasonably expects to be reimbursed for such advances from the proceeds of future Advertising Fees, it being agreed that any such advances will not constitute Manager Advances. The Manager, acting on behalf of the Securitization Entities, may pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, increase or reduce the Advertising Fees required to be paid by the Franchisees, Securitized Corporate-Owned StoresClubs and Retained Corporate-Owned 24
StoresClubs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the Managing Standard. The Manager may appoint any Sub-Manager to maintain and administer an Advertising Fund Account. SECTION 2.11 Franchisor Consent. Subject to the Managing Standard and the terms of the Indenture, the Manager shall have the authority, on behalf of the Franchisor, to grant or withhold consents of the “franchisor” required under the Franchise Agreements and Area Development Agreements held by the Franchisor. SECTION 2.12 Appointment of Sub-Managers. The Manager may enter into Sub-Management Arrangements; provided that the Manager will be required to remain primarily and directly liable for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding any such Sub-Management Arrangement; provided, further, that other than with respect to a Sub-Management Arrangement with an Affiliate of the Manager, no Sub-Management Arrangement shall be effective unless and until: (i) the Manager receives the consent of the Control Party; (ii) such Sub-Manager executes and delivers an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Control Party to perform and observe, or in the case of an assignment, an assumption by such successor entity of the due and punctual performance and observance of, the applicable covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by the Manager under this Agreement; provided that such Sub-Management Arrangement shall be terminable by the Control Party upon a Manager Termination Event and shall contain disentanglement provisions substantially similar to those provided in SECTION 7.2 herein; (iii) written notice has been provided to the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager and the Control Party; and (iv) the Rating Agencies have confirmed that such Sub-Management Arrangement, or assignment and assumption by such Sub-Manager, meets the Rating Agency Condition. Subject to the right of the Control Party to elect to continue the Sub-Management Arrangement, all Sub-Management Arrangements with an Affiliate of the Manager shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the Manager pursuant to SECTION 7.1(b). SECTION 2.13 Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement. In the event that Holdco has deposited cash collateral as security for its obligations under the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement into a bank account maintained in the name of the Master Issuer, (i) if Holdco fails to make any payment to the Master Issuer when due under the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, the Manager shall withdraw the amount of such delinquent payment from such bank account within one Business Day of the due date of such payment under the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and deposit such amount into the Collection Account, and (ii) if the amount on deposit in such account exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the sum of (x) the aggregate exposure under all outstanding letters of credit under the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement plus (y) the aggregate amount then due to the Issuer under Section 4 or Section 5 of the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, the Manager shall withdraw the amount of such excess from such account and pay such excess to Holdco.

The Manager (i) is a limited liability company, duly formed and organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New Hampshire, (ii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its property, the nature of its business or the performance of its obligations under the Related Documents make such qualification necessary and (iii) has the power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is currently conducted and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, except in each case referred to in clause (ii) or (iii) to the extent that the failure to do so is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager. (b) Power and Authority; No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by the Manager of this Agreement and its performance of, and compliance with, the terms hereof are within the power of the Manager and have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Manager. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated to be consummated by the Manager, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Manager or its properties, except to the extent that such conflict, breach or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or any of the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, lease, contract or other instrument to which the Manager is a party or by which it or its property is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its property pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, leases, contract or other instrument except to the extent such creation or imposition would not have a Material Adverse Effect. (c) Consents. Except for registrations as a franchise broker or franchise sales agent as may be required under state franchise statutes and regulations, the Manager is not required to obtain the consent of any other party or the consent, license, approval or authorization of, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Manager of this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement against the Manager, except to the extent that a state or foreign franchise law requires filing and other compliance actions by virtue of considering the Manager as a “subfranchisor”. 28
(d) Due Execution and Delivery. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Manager and constitutes a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against the Manager in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing). (e) No Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Manager, threatened in writing against or affecting the Manager, before or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Manager or any of its properties or with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (i) asserting the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, or seeking any determination or ruling that would affect the legality, binding effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or (ii) which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Manager is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (f) Due Qualification. Except for registrations as a franchise broker or franchise sales agent as may be required under state or foreign franchise statutes and regulations and except to the extent that a state or foreign franchise law requires filing and other compliance actions by virtue of considering the Manager as an “subfranchisor”, the Manager has obtained or made all material licenses, registrations, consents, approvals, waivers and notifications of creditors, lessors and other Persons, in each case, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Manager, and the consummation by the Manager of all the transactions herein contemplated to be consummated by the Manager and the performance of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (g) No Default. The Manager is not in default under any agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which the Manager is a party or by which it or its properties is or are bound, or with respect to any order of any Governmental Authority, which would have a Material Adverse Effect; and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default with respect to any such agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, or with respect to any such order of any Governmental Authority, which would have a Material Adverse Effect. (h) Taxes. The Manager has filed or caused to be filed all federal tax returns and all material state and other tax returns which, to the Actual Knowledge of the Manager, are required to be filed by it, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Manager has paid or made adequate provisions for the payment of all taxes shown as due on such returns, and all assessments made against it or any of its property (other than any amount of tax the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Manager). (i) Accuracy of Information. As of the date thereof, the information contained in the Offering Memorandum regarding (i) the Manager, (ii) the servicing of the Securitized Assets 29

(a) Whenever the Master Issuer wishes to make a Borrowing, the Master Issuer shall (or shall cause the Manager on its behalf to) notify the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly, and in any event by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the same Business Day as its receipt of the same, notify each Funding Agent of its pro rata share thereof (or other required share, as required pursuant to Section 2.02(a)) and notify the Trustee, the Control Party and the L/C Provider in writing of such Borrowing) by written notice in the form of an Advance Request delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) (x) in the case of any SOFR Advances, three (3) Business Days prior to the date of Borrowing or (y) in the case of any Base Rate Advance, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing (in each case, unless a shorter period is agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank or the Funding Agents, as applicable), which date of Borrowing shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term. Each such notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the date of such Borrowing, (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing to be made on such date, (iii) the amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings (if
19 applicable) to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on such date, which amount shall constitute all Unreimbursed L/C Drawings outstanding on the date of such notice of Borrowing that are not prepaid with other funds of the Master Issuer available for such purpose, and (iv) sufficient instructions for application of the balance, if any, of the proceeds of such Borrowing on such date (which proceeds shall be made available to the Master Issuer). Requests for any Borrowing may not be made in an aggregate principal amount of less than $100,000 or in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Borrowings for the purpose of repaying Unreimbursed L/C Drawings). The Master Issuer agrees that Borrowings shall be made automatically (to the extent not deemed made pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i), 2.05(b)(ii) or 2.08), without the requirement of providing an Advance Request, but subject to the requirements set forth in Section 7.03, upon notice of any drawing under a Letter of Credit, in an amount at least sufficient to repay in full all Unreimbursed L/C Drawings outstanding on the date of the applicable automatic Borrowing. 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. (Eastern time) on the date of Borrowing) notify the Administrative Agent, the Master Issuer 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 2025-1 Supplement (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, confirmation from the L/C Provider as to (x) the amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the date of Borrowing, (y) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (z) the principal amount of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings then outstanding), the applicable Investors in each Investor Group shall make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by such Investor Group by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars of such amount in same day funds no later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time), first, to the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, if applicable, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and, second, to the Master Issuer (or the Manager, if directed by the Master Issuer), as instructed in the applicable Advance Request. (b) (i) The failure of any Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Committed Note Purchaser (whether or not in the same Investor Group) of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Committed Note Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by such other Committed Note Purchaser on the date of any Borrowing and (ii) in the event that one or more Committed Note Purchasers fails to make its Advance by 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the other Committed Note Purchasers not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on such date, and each of the other Committed Note Purchasers shall make available to the Administrative Agent a supplemental Advance in a principal amount (such amount, the “reference amount”) equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal Advance that was unfunded multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Commitment Amount of such Committed Note Purchaser and the denominator of which is the aggregate Commitment Amounts of all Committed Note Purchasers (less the aggregate Commitment Amount of the Committed Note Purchasers failing to make Advances on such date) and (b) the excess of (i) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount over (ii) the product of such Committed Note Purchaser’s related Investor Group Principal Amount multiplied by such Committed Note Purchaser’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage (after giving effect to all prior Advances on such date of Borrowing) (provided that a Committed Note Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to), on terms and conditions to be agreed upon by such Committed Note Purchaser and the Master Issuer, make available to the
20 Administrative Agent a supplemental Advance in a principal amount in excess of the reference amount; provided, however, that no such supplemental Advance shall be permitted to be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount). Such supplemental Advances shall be made by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars in same day funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) one (1) Business Day following the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall immediately make such proceeds available, first, to the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, if applicable, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and, second, to the Master Issuer, or the Manager, if directed by the Master Issuer, as instructed in the applicable Advance Request. If any Committed Note Purchaser which shall have so failed to fund its Advance shall subsequently pay such amount, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amount pro rata to repay any supplemental Advances made by the other Committed Note Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.03(a). (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the date of any Borrowing that an applicable Investor in the related Investor Group will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Investor’s share of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group as part of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Investor has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the L/C Provider and/or the Master Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount, and shall, if such corresponding amount has not been made available by the Administrative Agent, make available to the L/C Provider and/or the Master Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount once such Investor has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that any Investor shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Investor and the Master Issuer jointly and severally agree to repay (without duplication) to the Administrative Agent on the next Weekly Allocation Date such corresponding amount (in the case of the Master Issuer, in accordance with the Priority of Payments), together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Master Issuer until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Master Issuer, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Investor, the Federal Funds Rate and without deduction by such Investor for any withholding Taxes. If such Investor shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Investor’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. Section 2.04 The Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes. On each date an Advance is made or a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder, and on each date the outstanding amount thereof is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the Administrative Agent shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount, evidenced by the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or Series 2025- 1 Class A-1 L/C Note, of such Advance or Letter of Credit, as applicable, and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The Master Issuer hereby authorizes each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of the Administrative Agent to make such notations in respect of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount 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. Section 2.05 Reduction in Commitments. (a) The Master Issuer may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Control Party, each Funding Agent and each Investor), effect a permanent reduction in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Commitment Amount and Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis; provided that (i) any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the
21 Commitments, although any such reduction may be combined with a Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2025-1 Supplement, (ii) any such reduction must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (iii) after giving effect to such reduction, the Series 2025-1 Class A- 1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount equals or exceeds $5,000,000, unless reduced to zero, and (iv) no such reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount (excluding any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts with respect to which cash collateral is held by the L/C Provider pursuant to Section 4.03(b)) or (y) the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the L/C Commitment. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be made ratably among the Investor Groups on the basis of their respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts. (b) If any of the following events shall occur, then the Commitment Amounts shall be automatically 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 Master Issuer shall give the Trustee, the Control Party, each Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent prompt written notice thereof): (i) (A) if the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes has not been paid in full or otherwise refinanced in full (which refinancing may also include an extension thereof) by the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date, on such Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date, (x) the principal amount of all Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances made on such date (and the Master Issuer shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made), and (y) the L/C Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero; and (B) upon a Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Amortization Event, (x) the Commitments with respect to all undrawn Commitment Amounts shall automatically and permanently terminate and the corresponding portions of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced by a corresponding amount (with respect to the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts, on a pro rata basis) and (y) each payment of principal on the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount occurring following such Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Amortization Event shall result automatically and permanently in a dollar-for- dollar reduction of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis; (ii) if a Rapid Amortization Event occurs prior to the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date, then (A) on the date such Rapid Amortization Event occurs, the Commitments with respect to all undrawn Commitment Amounts shall automatically terminate, which termination shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following the making of Advances pursuant to clause (B) below, and the corresponding portions of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 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); (B) no later than the second Business Day after the occurrence of such Rapid Amortization Event, the principal amount of all Unreimbursed L/C Drawings (to the extent not repaid pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or Section 4.03(b)) shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances (and the Master Issuer shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made) and the L/C Commitment shall be automatically reduced to zero and by such amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings, respectively; 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(b), 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) on the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount occurring on or after the date of such Rapid Amortization Event (excluding the
22 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 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis; provided that if such Rapid Amortization Event shall cease to be in effect pursuant to Section 9.1(e) of the Base Indenture, then the Commitments, L/C Commitment, Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be restored to the amounts in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of such Rapid Amortization Event; (iii) [Reserved]; (iv) if payments in connection with Indemnification, Asset Disposition and Insurance/Condemnation Payment Amounts are allocated to and deposited in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.6(j) of the Series 2025-1 Supplement at a time when either (i) no Senior Notes other than Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes are Outstanding or (ii) if a Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Amortization Period is continuing, then (x) the aggregate Commitment Amount shall be automatically and permanently reduced on the date of such deposit by an amount (the “Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount”) equal to the amount of such deposit, and each Committed Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount shall be reduced on a pro rata basis of such Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount based on each Committed Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount, (y) the corresponding portions of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced on a pro rata basis based on each Investor Group’s Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount by a corresponding amount on such date (and, if after giving effect to such reduction the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the L/C Commitment, then the amount of the L/C Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of such difference; provided that after giving effect thereto the amount of the L/C Obligations do not exceed the L/C Commitment, as so reduced; and (z) the Series 2025-1 Class A- 1 Outstanding Principal Amount shall be repaid or prepaid (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02(b), 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) in an aggregate amount equal to such Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount on the date and in the order required by Section 3.6(j) of the Series 2025-1 Supplement; and (v) if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (and shall not have been waived in accordance with the Base Indenture) and as a result the payment of the Series 2025- 1 Class A-1 Notes is accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture (and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded in accordance with the Base Indenture), then in addition to the consequences set forth in clause (ii) above in respect of the Rapid Amortization Event resulting from such Event of Default, the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 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 upon such acceleration and the Master Issuer shall (in accordance with the Series 2025-1 Supplement) cause the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount to be paid in full (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02(b), 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)), together with accrued interest, Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Quarterly Commitment Fees, Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts and all other amounts then due and payable to the Lender Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents under this Agreement and the other Related Documents and any unreimbursed Advances and Manager Advances (in each case, with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate) subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars, (y) have a face amount of at least $25,000 or, if less than $25,000, shall bear a reasonable administrative fee to be agreed upon by the Master Issuer and the L/C Provider and (z) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (B) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Required Expiration Date”); provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods, each individually not to exceed one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the Required Expiration Date) unless the L/C Provider notifies the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least 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 (x) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit has been fully cash collateralized by the Master Issuer in accordance with Section 4.02(b) 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 and (y) such arrangement is satisfactory to the L/C Provider in its sole and absolute discretion. Additionally, each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall (1) name each of (A) the Trustee, for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders or the Senior Subordinated Noteholders, as applicable, and (B) the Control Party, as the beneficiary thereof; (2) allow the Trustee or the Control Party to submit a notice of drawing in respect of such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit whenever amounts would otherwise be required to be withdrawn from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, pursuant to the Indenture and (3) indicate by its terms that the proceeds in respect of drawings under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall be paid directly into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable. The L/C Provider shall not at any time be obligated to (I) provide any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would violate, or cause any L/C Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (II) amend any Letter of Credit hereunder if (1) the L/C Provider would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (2) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. (b) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Master Issuer shall issue and shall cause the Trustee to authenticate the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 L/C Note, which the Master Issuer shall deliver to the L/C Provider on the Closing Date.

Each issuance of a Letter of Credit after the Closing Date will constitute an Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 L/C Note in an amount corresponding to the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of such Letter of Credit. All L/C Obligations (whether in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings) shall be deemed to be principal outstanding under the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and shall be deemed to be Series 2025- 1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts for all purposes of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Related Documents other than, in the case of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts, for purposes of accrual of interest.

The L/C Provider and the Master Issuer agree to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee of any such decreases for which notice to the Administrative Agent is not otherwise provided hereunder.

Upon receipt of any completed Application, the L/C Provider will notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee in writing of the amount, the beneficiary and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall comply with Sections 2.07(a) and (i)) and, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2025-1 Supplement and upon receipt of written confirmation from the Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement) that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount (provided that the L/C Provider shall be entitled to rely upon any written statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons of the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining whether the L/C Provider received such prior written confirmation from the Administrative Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit), the L/C Provider will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered in connection therewith to be processed in accordance with the L/C Issuing Bank’s customary procedures and shall promptly provide the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the L/C Provider be required to provide any Letter of Credit earlier than three (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 2.07(a)) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the L/C Provider and the Master Issuer. The L/C Provider shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Manager (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The L/C Provider shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Funding Agents, the Investors, the Control Party and the Trustee, written notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). (d) The Master Issuer shall pay ratably to the Committed Note Purchasers the L/C Quarterly Fees (as defined in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter, the “L/C Quarterly Fees”) in
25 accordance with the terms of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 VFN Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments. (e) 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. (f) The Master Issuer may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, effect a permanent reduction in the L/C Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the L/C Commitment. If requested by the Master Issuer in writing and with the prior written consent of the L/C Provider and the Administrative Agent, the L/C Provider may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the L/C Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of each of the Outstanding Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Note Advances and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate Commitment Amounts. (g) The L/C Provider shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 2.07 with respect to providing any Letter of Credit hereunder by issuing such Letter of Credit itself or through an Affiliate, so long as the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test is satisfied with respect to such Affiliate and the issuance of such Letter of Credit. If the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test is not satisfied with respect to such Affiliate and the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the L/C Provider or a Person selected by (at the expense of the L/C Provider) the Master Issuer shall issue such Letter of Credit; provided that such Person and issuance of such Letter of Credit satisfies the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test (the L/C Provider (or such Affiliate of the L/C Provider) in its capacity as the issuer of such Letter of Credit or such other Person selected by the Master Issuer being referred to as the “L/C Issuing Bank” with respect to such Letter of Credit). The “L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test” is a test that is satisfied with respect to a Person issuing a Letter of Credit if the Person is a U.S. commercial bank that has, at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (i) a short-term certificate of deposit rating of not less than “P-2” from Moody’s and “A-2” from S&P and, if it has a rating by KBRA, KBRA, and (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less than “Baa2” from Moody’s or “BBB” from S&P and, if it has a rating by KBRA, KBRA; provided that for purposes of this L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test, an L/C Provider will be deemed to have the short-term debt credit rating or the long- term debit credit rating, as applicable, of such L/C Provider or any guarantor (or confirming bank) of such L/C Provider. (h) The L/C Provider and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing the Letter of Credit or (ii) any law applicable to the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, or any request or directive (which request or directive, in the reasonable judgment of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, has the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall prohibit the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular. (i) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the Master Issuer 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 L/C Obligations as of any date of determination shall be a component of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount on such date of determination, pursuant to the definition thereof.

(l) Each of the parties hereto shall execute any amendments to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Master Issuer in order to have any letter of credit issued by a Person selected by the Master Issuer pursuant to Section 2.07(g) hereto or Section 5.17 of the Base Indenture be a “Letter of Credit” that has been issued hereunder and such Person selected by the Master Issuer be an “L/C Issuing Bank.” Section 2.08 L/C Reimbursement Obligations. (a) For the purpose of reimbursing the payment of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the Master Issuer agrees to pay, as set forth in this Section 2.08, the L/C Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, an amount in Dollars equal to the sum of (i) the amount of such draft so paid (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 collectively, the “L/C Other Reimbursement Costs”) incurred by the L/C Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Master Issuer or any Guarantor, in which cases the procedures specified in Section 2.09 for funding by Committed Note Purchasers shall apply) constitute a request by the Master Issuer to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent for a Base Rate Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount equal to the applicable L/C Reimbursement Amount plus the applicable L/C Other Reimbursement Costs minus any such amounts repaid pursuant to Section 4.03(b), and the Master Issuer shall be deemed to have made such request pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. 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 L/C Provider. The Borrowing date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the first date on which a Base Rate Borrowing could be made pursuant to Section 2.03 if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such Borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the L/C Provider of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on such Borrowing date, and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the L/C Provider for application to the reimbursement of such drawing. (b) The Master Issuer’s obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Master Issuer may have or has had against the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person; (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (iii) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a
27 trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of any jurisdictions or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.08(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Master Issuer’s obligations hereunder. The Master Issuer also agrees that the L/C Provider and the L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Master Issuer’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Master Issuer 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 Master Issuer against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the L/C Provider nor the L/C Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Master Issuer to the extent permitted by applicable law) caused by errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Master Issuer agrees that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Master Issuer and shall not result in any liability of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank to the Master Issuer. As between the Master Issuer and the L/C Issuing Bank, the Master Issuer hereby assumes 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 Master Issuer agrees 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. (c) If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit for which the L/C Provider has actual knowledge, the L/C Provider shall promptly notify the Manager, the Control Party, the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank to the Master Issuer 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.

(a) The L/C Provider irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Committed Note Purchaser, and, to induce the L/C Provider to provide Letters of Credit hereunder (and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit, to induce the L/C Provider to agree to reimburse such L/C Issuing Bank for any payment of any drafts presented thereunder), each Committed
28 Note Purchaser irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the L/C Provider, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Committed Note Purchaser’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Provider’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit provided hereunder and the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to each draft paid or reimbursed by the L/C Provider in connection therewith. Subject to Section 2.07(c), each Committed Note Purchaser unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the L/C Provider that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the L/C Provider is not paid in full by the Master Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of the L/C Provider an amount equal to its Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Reimbursement Amount with respect to such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so paid. (b) If any amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider pursuant to Section 2.09(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made or reimbursed by the L/C Provider under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Committed Note Purchaser shall pay to Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Provider, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.09(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for forwarding to the L/C Provider by such Committed Note Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, the L/C Provider shall be entitled to recover from such Committed Note Purchaser, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Base Rate. A certificate of the L/C Provider submitted to any Committed Note Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.09(b), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on such Committed Note Purchaser. If any withholding taxes are required by law to be deducted from any amounts payable under this Section 2.09(b), then the sum payable by the Committed Note Purchaser shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction has been made, the L/C Provider receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been made. (c) Whenever, at any time after payment has been made under any Letter of Credit and the L/C Provider has received from any Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.09(a), the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Master Issuer or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the L/C Provider), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, will distribute to such Committed Note Purchaser its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, such Committed Note Purchaser shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Provider the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Provider, as the case may be, to it. (d) Each Committed Note Purchaser’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.08(a) and to pay its pro rata share of any unreimbursed draft pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Committed Note Purchaser or the Master Issuer may have against the L/C Provider, any L/C Issuing Bank, the Master Issuer 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
29 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 Master Issuer; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document by the Master Issuer 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.

Section 3.08 Taxes. (a) Except as otherwise required by law, all payments by the Master Issuer of principal of, and interest on, the Advances and the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes. If any Taxes are imposed and required by law to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Master Issuer hereunder to an Affected Person, then, if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, (x) the amount of the payment shall be increased so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Indemnified Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount equal to the sum that would have been received by the Affected Person had no such deduction or withholding been required and (y) the applicable withholding agent shall withhold the amount of such Taxes from such payment (as increased, if applicable, pursuant to the preceding clause (x)) and shall pay such amount, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the taxing authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law. (b) Moreover, if any Indemnified Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person from the Master Issuer or otherwise in respect of any Related Document or the transactions contemplated therein, such Affected Person may pay such Indemnified Taxes and the Master Issuer will, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the related Funding Agent’s and Master Issuer’s receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Indemnified Taxes (including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), deposit into the Collection Account, to be distributed as Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent 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 Master Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.08) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person after the payment of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes on such Increased Tax Costs) shall equal the amount such Person would have retained had no such Indemnified 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 Taxes) due or payable by the Master Issuer as a direct result of such Affected Person’s failure to demand from the Master Issuer additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08 within 180 days from the date on which the related Indemnified Taxes were incurred. (c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Taxes, and in any event within thirty (30) days of any such payment being due, the Master Issuer shall furnish to each applicable Affected Person or its agents a certified copy of an official receipt (or other documentary evidence satisfactory to such Affected Person and agents) evidencing the payment of such Taxes.
35 (d) Each Affected Person, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable after the obsolescence or invalidity of any form or document previously delivered or within a reasonable period of time following a written request by the Master Issuer or applicable withholding agent), shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W- 8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-9, as applicable, or applicable successor form, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable, as will permit the Master Issuer or the Administrative Agent to establish (i) the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from, or eligible for a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding Taxes (including withholding pursuant to FATCA), (ii) to determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to information reporting requirements, and (iii) that such Affected Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. If a payment made to an Affected Person under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person shall deliver to the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Master Issuer or 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 Master Issuer or Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Affected Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.08(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Promptly following the receipt of a written request by the Master Issuer or the Administrative Agent, each Affected Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent any other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes other than United States federal withholding Taxes, including but not limited to, (i) such information necessary to claim the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code and (ii) in the case of an Affected Person claiming the benefits of any income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed copies of a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the relevant article of such tax treaty. The Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent (or other withholding agent selected by the Master Issuer) may rely on any form or document provided pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) until notified otherwise by the Affected Person that delivered such form or document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Affected Person shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a change in applicable law after the time the Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office). (e) The Administrative Agent, Trustee, Paying Agent or any other withholding agent may deduct and withhold any Taxes required by any laws to be deducted and withheld from any payments pursuant to this Agreement. (f) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Master Issuer or the Administrative Agent or other withholding agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any 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 Master Issuer, Trustee, Paying Agent and the Administrative Agent for any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Master Issuer and the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.08, and costs and expenses (including attorney costs) of the Master Issuer, Trustee, Paying Agent and the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Affected
36 Persons, severally, under this Section 3.08 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Affected Person or the termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, setoff any amount owed to it by an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 3.08(f) from any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to such Affected Person under this Agreement. (g) Prior to the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent will provide the Master Issuer with two duly-signed, properly executed and completed copies of the documentation prescribed in the following clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachment thereto): (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor thereto, or U (ii) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or any successor thereto, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any other Affected Person, a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY or any successor thereto evidencing its agreement with the Master Issuer to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal withholding purposes. At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Master Issuer. (h) If an Affected Person determines, in its sole reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified 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 Master Issuer and the Manager in writing of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a written request from the Master Issuer, pay over such refund to the Master Issuer (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 Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of- pocket expenses (including the net amount of 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 Indemnified Taxes); provided that the Master Issuer, immediately upon the request of the Affected Person to the Master Issuer (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 or any other Person is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. This Section 3.08 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the Master Issuer or any other Person. 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 Sections 3.05 or 3.07 or the payment of additional amounts under Sections 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 Master Issuer, 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; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.09 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Master Issuer or the rights of any Committed Note Purchaser pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.07 and 3.08. If a Committed Note Purchaser notifies the Master Issuer in writing that such Committed Note Purchaser will be unable to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office, the Master Issuer may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Committed Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that, with respect to each such member of such Investor Group,
37 will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Master Issuer (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 2025-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Section 3.10 Reaffirmation. The Master Issuer and each Guarantor (including those that that become party hereto after the date hereof), in its respective capacity as the Master Issuer, a Guarantor, debtor, obligor, grantor, pledgor, assignor, or other similar capacity in which such party acts as direct or indirect, or primary or secondary, obligor, accommodation party or guarantor or grants liens or security interests in or to its properties hereunder or under any other Related Document, hereby acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the provisions of Section 3.04 (including, without limitation, the implementation from time to time of any Benchmark Replacement and any Conforming Changes in accordance herewith) and, in furtherance of the forgoing (and without, in any way express or implied, invalidating, impairing or otherwise negatively affecting any obligations heretofore provided) hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with and after giving effect to any Conforming Changes: (i) its Obligations shall not in any way be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired, and shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed and shall remain in full force in effect, (ii) its grant of a guarantee, pledge, assignment or any other accommodation, lien or security interests in or to its properties relating to this Agreement or any other Related Document shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed, and shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired and (iii) the Related Documents and its obligations thereunder (contingent or otherwise) shall continue, be ratified and be affirmed and shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be novated, discharged or otherwise impaired. In addition, each of the Master Issuer and each Guarantor hereby fully waives any requirements to notify the Master Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, of any Conforming Changes (except as expressly provided in Section 3.04). From time to time, the Master Issuer and each Guarantor shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such instruments, agreements, certificates or documents, and take all such actions, as Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of Section 3.04, or of renewing, continuing, reaffirming or ratifying the rights of Administrative Agent, and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Master Issuer’s or Guarantor’s obligations or the Collateral.

The appointment and authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes and all other amounts owed by the Master Issuer hereunder to the Administrative Agent, all members of the Investor Groups and the L/C Provider (the “Aggregate Unpaids”) and termination in full of all Commitments and the L/C Commitment. Section 5.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall apply to their respective activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence, bad faith or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Section 5.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment), or (b) responsible in any manner to any Lender Party or any Funding Agent for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Master Issuer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement for the due execution, legality, value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith, or for any failure of the Master Issuer to perform its obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VII.

Each of the Lender Parties and the Funding Agents expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including,
41 without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Master Issuer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each of the Lender Parties and the Funding Agents represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Master Issuer and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Section 5.06 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Master Issuer or any Affiliate of the Master Issuer as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender Party or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case: (i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) in the case of immediately preceding clause (z), an error has been made, in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.15(b).
45 (c) Each Lender Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under any Related Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. (d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender Party that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender Party shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Master Issuer) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender Party shall become a Lender Party, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender Party shall cease to be a Lender Party hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender Party and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall reflect in the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender Party shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender Party (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender Party and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold an Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender Party under the Related Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency. (e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Master Issuer or Guarantors, except, in each case, to the extent (i) such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Master Issuer or any Guarantor for the purpose of paying any Obligations and (ii) such Erroneous Payment is not otherwise returned to the Master Issuer or such Guarantor. (f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim
46 by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine or defense. (g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 5.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Related Document.

The Registrar shall keep a register of the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes (including the name and address of each such Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Noteholder) and of their transfer and exchange. The Trustee shall indicate in its books and records the commitment of each Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Noteholder, if applicable, such that each Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Note is at all times maintained in "registered form" within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

If the Master Issuer or any of its Affiliates gives notice to such Defaulting Investor that it desires to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments, the Master Issuer or such Affiliate

(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 Master Issuer shall instruct the Trustee to apply such amounts) as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the L/C Provider hereunder; third, to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; fourth, as the Master Issuer may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Master Issuer, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Investor’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of any future Undrawn L/C Face Amounts multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Investors, the L/C Provider as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Investor, the L/C Provider 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 Master Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Master Issuer against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Investor or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or any extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) owed to, all non-Defaulting Investors on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.09(a) owed to, such Defaulting Investor until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations 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.
64 (iii) All or any part of such Defaulting Investor’s participation in L/C Obligations 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 Master Issuer shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Master Issuer shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the product of any non-Defaulting Investor’s related Investor Group Principal Amount multiplied by such non- Defaulting Investor’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage to exceed such non-Defaulting Investor’s Commitment Amount. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Investor arising from that Investor having become a Defaulting Investor, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Investor as a result of such non-Defaulting Investor’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (d) If the Master Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider agree in writing that an Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Investor will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Investors or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Investors in accordance with their respective Commitments (without giving effect to Section 9.18(c)(iii)), whereupon such Investor will cease to be a Defaulting Investor; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Master Issuer while that Investor was a Defaulting Investor; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Investor to Investor will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Investor’s having been a Defaulting Investor. Section 9.19 No Fiduciary Duties. Each of the Manager, Master Issuer and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, or any other services the Lender Parties may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Lender Parties: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between any of the Manager, the Master Issuer or the Guarantors and any other person, on the one hand, and the Lender Parties, on the other, exists; (b) the Lender Parties are not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Manager, the Master Issuer or the Guarantors, and such relationship between any of the Manager, the Master Issuer or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lender Parties, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Lender Parties may have to the Manager, the Master Issuer and the Guarantors shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; (d) the Lender Parties and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Manager, the Master Issuer or any of the Guarantors; and (e) the Manager, the Master Issuer and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Manager, the Master Issuer and the Guarantors hereby waive any claims that Manager, the Master Issuer or the Guarantors may have against the Lender Parties with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Series 2025-1 Class A-1 Notes.

Such Lender Party may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be provided. Section 9.23 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

66 transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Related Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Related Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(“Dealer”) and Planet Fitness, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Counterparty”). This Master Confirmation, taken alone, is neither a commitment by either party to enter into any Transaction nor evidence of a Transaction. The additional terms of any particular Transaction shall be set forth in a Supplemental Confirmation in the form of Schedule A hereto (a “Supplemental Confirmation”), which shall reference this Master Confirmation and supplement, form a part of, and be subject to this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation together shall constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below. The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation evidence a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and Dealer as to the subject matter and terms of each Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Supplemental Confirmation relate and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation supplement, form a part of, and are subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed the Agreement on the date of this Master Confirmation, without any Schedule, but with the elections set forth in this Master Confirmation, including: (i) The election of New York law as the governing law (without reference to its choice of law provisions). (ii) Counterparty represents and warrants for purposes of Section 3(c) of the Agreement as follows: “(c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against Counterparty or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect (i) the legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement, any Confirmation under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party, or (ii) except for, with respect to Counterparty, any matters disclosed by Counterparty in filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date of this Agreement or prior to the date of entering into a Transaction, its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, any Confirmation under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document.” (iii) The election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to Dealer, with a “Threshold Amount” of 3% of shareholders’ equity for Citigroup Inc. (provided that (a) the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” shall be deleted from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement, (b) “Specified Indebtedness” shall have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of Dealer’s banking business, and (c) the following sentence shall be added to the end thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Event of Default shall not occur under either (1) or (2)
2 above if (a) the event or condition referred to in (1) or the failure to pay referred to in (2) is caused by an error or omission of an administrative or operational nature, (b) funds were available to Dealer to enable it to make the relevant payment when due, and (c) such payment is made within three Local Business Days.”). (iv) [Reserved]. (v) Section 13(b)(i)(2) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word “non-”. (vi) Section 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the third paragraph thereof. (vii) “Affiliate” will have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that for purposes of Section 3(c) of the Agreement as set forth in clause (iii) above, “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by such person. For this purpose, “control” means ownership of a majority of the voting power of the entity or person. (viii) For purposes of Section 3(f) of the Agreement, Dealer makes the following representation: It is a U.S. person, and it is a national association organized under the U.S. federal law. (ix) For purposes of Section 3(f) of the Agreement, Counterparty makes the following representation: It is a U.S. person, and it is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. (x) Each party agrees to deliver to the other party one duly executed and completed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor thereto) or W-8ECI, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY (as applicable) upon execution and delivery of this Agreement; promptly upon reasonable demand by the other party; and promptly upon learning that any such Form previously provided by such party has become obsolete or incorrect. (xi) For purposes of 3(e) of the Agreement, Dealer and Counterparty each represent and warrant that it is not required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, of any relevant jurisdiction to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any payment to be made by it to the other party under this Master Confirmation and each Transaction evidenced hereby. The Transactions shall be the sole Transactions under the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Dealer and Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement between Dealer and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Dealer and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Dealer and Counterparty are parties, the Transactions shall not be considered Transactions under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement, and the occurrence of any Event of Default or Termination Event under the Agreement with respect to either party or any Transaction shall not, by itself, give rise to any right or obligation under any such other agreement or deemed agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement between the parties or their Affiliates, the Transactions shall not be “Specified Transactions” (or similarly treated) under any other agreement between the parties or their Affiliates. All provisions contained or incorporated by reference in the Agreement shall govern this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation except as expressly modified herein or in the related Supplemental Confirmation. If, in relation to any Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and a Supplemental Confirmation relate, there is any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Master Confirmation, such Supplemental Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) such Supplemental Confirmation; (ii) this Master Confirmation; (iii) the Equity Definitions; and (iv) the Agreement.
3 1. Each Transaction constitutes a Share Forward Transaction for the purposes of the Equity Definitions. Set forth below are the terms and conditions that, together with the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation relating to any Transaction, shall govern such Transaction. General Terms. Trade Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Buyer: Counterparty Seller: Dealer Shares: The Class A common stock of Counterparty, par value USD 0.0001 per share (Exchange symbol “PLNT”). Exchange: The New York Stock Exchange Related Exchange(s): All Exchanges Prepayment/Variable Obligation: Applicable Prepayment Amount: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Prepayment Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Valuation. VWAP Price: For any Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on the volume-weighted average price at which the Shares trade as reported in the composite transactions for United States exchanges and quotation systems, during the regular trading session for the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day, excluding (i) trades that do not settle regular way, (ii) opening (regular way) reported trades in the consolidated system on such Exchange Business Day, (iii) trades that occur in the last ten minutes before the scheduled close of trading on the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day and ten minutes before the scheduled close of the primary trading in the market where the trade is effected, and (iv) trades on such Exchange Business Day that do not satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b-18(b)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as published by Bloomberg at 4:15 p.m. New York time (or 15 minutes following the end of any extension of the regular trading session) on such Exchange Business Day, on Bloomberg page “PLNT <Equity> AQR_SEC” (or any successor thereto), or if such price is not so reported on such Exchange Business Day for any reason or is, in the Calculation Agent’s determination, erroneous, such VWAP Price shall be as determined by the Calculation Agent. For purposes of calculating the VWAP Price, the Calculation Agent will only include those trades (collectively, “Rule 10b-18 Eligible Transactions”) that (x) do not constitute trades described in clauses (i) to (iv) above and (y) are reported during the period of time in
4 which Counterparty could purchase its own shares under Rule 10b-18(b)(2) and are effected pursuant to the conditions of Rule 10b-18(b)(3), each under the Exchange Act. Forward Price: For each Transaction, the arithmetic average of the VWAP Prices for all of the Exchange Business Days in the Calculation Period for such Transaction, subject to “Valuation Disruption” below. Forward Price Adjustment Amount: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Calculation Period: For each Transaction, the period from, and including, the Calculation Period Start Date for such Transaction to, and including, the Termination Date for such Transaction. Calculation Period Start Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Termination Date: For each Transaction, the Scheduled Termination Date for such Transaction; provided that Dealer shall have the right to designate any Exchange Business Day on or after the First Acceleration Date to be the Termination Date for such Transaction (the “Accelerated Termination Date”) by delivering notice to Counterparty of any such designation prior to 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Exchange Business Day immediately following the designated Accelerated Termination Date. Scheduled Termination Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation, subject to postponement as provided in “Valuation Disruption” below. First Acceleration Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Valuation Disruption: The definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” and inserting the words “at any time on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Calculation Period or Settlement Valuation Period” after the word “material,” in the third line thereof. Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Disrupted Day occurs (i) in the Calculation Period, the Calculation Agent may postpone the Scheduled Termination Date by one Scheduled Trading Day for each Disrupted Day, or (ii) in the Settlement Valuation Period, the Calculation Agent may extend the Settlement Valuation Period. If any such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day because of a Market Disruption Event (or a deemed
5 Market Disruption Event as provided herein), the Calculation Agent shall also determine whether (i) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the Forward Price or the Settlement Price, as the case may be, or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on Rule 10b-18 Eligible Transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day effected before the relevant Market Disruption Event occurred and/or after the relevant Market Disruption Event ended (in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent), and the weighting of the VWAP Price for the relevant Exchange Business Days during the Calculation Period or the Settlement Valuation Period, as the case may be, shall be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Forward Price or the Settlement Price, as the case may be, with such adjustments taking into account the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares. Any Disrupted Day resulting from a Regulatory Disruption shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in Full. Any Exchange Business Day on which, as of the date hereof, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be an Exchange Business Day; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Exchange Business Day is scheduled following the date hereof, then such Exchange Business Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full. If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Calculation Period for any Transaction or the Settlement Valuation Period for any Transaction, as the case may be, and each of the nine immediately following Scheduled Trading Days is a Disrupted Day (a “Disruption Event”), then the Calculation Agent may deem such Disruption Event to be an Additional Termination Event in respect of such Transaction, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and such Transaction as the sole Affected Transaction. Settlement Terms. Settlement Procedures: For each Transaction: (i) if the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Transaction is positive, Physical Settlement shall be applicable to such Transaction; provided that the “Representation and Agreement” contained in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws arising as a result of the fact that Buyer is the Issuer of the Shares; or (ii) if the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Transaction is negative, then Counterparty Settlement
6 Provisions in Annex A hereto shall apply to such Transaction. Number of Shares to be Delivered: For each Transaction, a number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to (a)(i) the Prepayment Amount for such Transaction, divided by (ii)(A) the Forward Price for such Transaction minus (B) the Forward Price Adjustment Amount for such Transaction, minus (b) the number of Initial Shares for such Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Forward Price Adjustment Amount for any Transaction is a negative number, clause (a)(ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be equal to (A) the Forward Price for such Transaction, plus (B) the absolute value of the Forward Price Adjustment Amount. Excess Dividend Amount: For the avoidance of doubt, all references to the Excess Dividend Amount shall be deleted from Section 9.2(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions. Settlement Date: For each Transaction, if the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Transaction is positive, the date that is one Settlement Cycle immediately following the Termination Date for such Transaction (which as of the date hereof shall be no more than one Clearance System Business Day following the Termination Date for such Transaction). Settlement Currency: USD Initial Share Delivery: For each Transaction, Dealer shall deliver a number of Shares equal to the Initial Shares for such Transaction to Counterparty on the Initial Share Delivery Date for such Transaction in accordance with Section 9.4 of the Equity Definitions, with such Initial Share Delivery Date deemed to be a “Settlement Date” for purposes of such Section 9.4. Initial Share Delivery Date: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Initial Shares: For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. Share Adjustments. Potential Adjustment Event: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, the following shall not constitute a Potential Adjustment Event: an Extraordinary Dividend and an Excess Dividend. It shall constitute an additional Potential Adjustment Event if the Scheduled Termination Date for any Transaction is postponed pursuant to “Valuation Disruption” above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 7 hereof), in which case the Calculation Agent may adjust any relevant terms of such Transaction as necessary to preserve as nearly as possible the fair value of such Transaction to Dealer prior to such postponement, which adjustments shall be limited to changes in stock price, volatility, interest rates, stock loan rate, the value of any
7 commercially reasonable Hedge Positions in connection with the Transaction, or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to such Transaction taking into account whether the Calculation Period had fewer Scheduled Trading Days than originally anticipated. Excess Dividend: Any dividend or distribution on the Shares including, for the avoidance of doubt, the type described in Section 11.2(e)(i), Section 11.2(e)(ii)(A) or Section 11.2(e)(ii)(B) of the Equity Definitions or any Extraordinary Dividend. “Extraordinary Dividend” means the per Share cash dividend or distribution, or a portion thereof, declared by Counterparty on the Shares that is classified by the board of directors of Counterparty as an “extraordinary” dividend. Consequences of Excess Dividend: The declaration by Counterparty of any Excess Dividend, the ex-dividend date for which occurs or is scheduled to occur during the Relevant Dividend Period for any Transaction, shall result in an Additional Termination Event in respect of such Transaction, and the Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party pursuant to such Additional Termination Event and such Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Excess Dividend shall not constitute a Potential Adjustment Event. Method of Adjustment: Calculation Agent Adjustment Relevant Dividend Period: For each Transaction, the period from, and including, the Trade Date for such Transaction to, and including, the Relevant Dividend Period End Date for such Transaction. Relevant Dividend Period End Date: For each Transaction, if the Number of Shares to be Delivered for such Transaction is negative, the last day of the Settlement Valuation Period; otherwise, the Termination Date for such Transaction. Agreement Regarding Dividends: Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Master Confirmation, the Equity Definitions or the Agreement to the contrary, in calculating any adjustment pursuant to Article 11 of the Equity Definitions or any amount payable in respect of any termination or cancellation of the Transaction pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6 of the Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall not take into account changes to any dividends since the Trade Date.

(b) Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Counterparty. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, Counterparty represents, warrants and covenants to Dealer that: (i) As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, (A) such Transaction is being entered into pursuant to a publicly disclosed Share buy-back program and its Board of Directors has approved the use of agreements such as this Master Confirmation to effect the Share buy-back program, and (B) there is no internal policy of Counterparty, whether written or oral, that would prohibit Counterparty from entering into any aspect of such Transaction, including the purchases of Shares to be made pursuant to such Transaction. (ii) As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, the purchase or writing of such Transaction and the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate Rule 13e-1 or Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act. (iii) As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, it is not entering into such Transaction, and as of the date of any election with respect to any Transaction hereunder, it is not making such election, in each case (A) on the basis of, and is not aware of, any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares, (B) in anticipation of, in connection with, or to facilitate, a distribution of its securities, a self tender offer or a third-party tender offer in violation of the Exchange Act or (C) to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares). (iv) Counterparty (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker- dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least USD 50,000,000 as of the date hereof. (v) As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder, and as of the date of any election with respect to any Transaction hereunder, Counterparty is in compliance in all material respects with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. (vi) Counterparty has made, and will make, all material filings required to be made by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or any other regulatory body with respect to each Transaction. (vii) The Shares are not, and Counterparty will not cause the Shares to be, subject to a “restricted period” (as defined in Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act) at any time during any Regulation M Period (as defined below) for any Transaction unless Counterparty has provided written notice to Dealer of such restricted period not later than the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of such “restricted period”; Counterparty acknowledges that any such notice may cause a Disrupted Day to occur pursuant to Section 7 below; accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its delivery of such notice must comply with the standards set forth in Section 8 below. Counterparty is not currently contemplating any “distribution” (as defined in Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act) of Shares, or any security for which Shares are a “reference
13 security” (as defined in Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act). “Regulation M Period” means, for any Transaction, (A) the Relevant Period (as defined below) for such Transaction, (B) the Settlement Valuation Period, if any, for such Transaction and (C) the Seller Termination Purchase Period (as defined below), if any, for such Transaction. “Relevant Period” means, for any Transaction, the period commencing on the Calculation Period Start Date for such Transaction and ending on the later of (1) the earlier of (x) the Scheduled Termination Date and (y) the last Additional Relevant Day (as specified in the related Supplemental Confirmation) for such Transaction, or such earlier day as elected by Dealer and communicated to Counterparty on such day (or, if later, the First Acceleration Date without regard to any acceleration thereof pursuant to “Special Provisions for Acquisition Transaction Announcements” below) and (2) if Section 15 is applicable to such Transaction, the date on which all deliveries owed pursuant to Section 15 have been made. (viii) As of the Trade Date, the Prepayment Date, the Initial Share Delivery Date, the Settlement Date, any Cash Settlement Payment Date and any Settlement Method Election Date for each Transaction, Counterparty is not “insolvent” (as such term is defined under Section 101(32) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”)) and Counterparty would be able to purchase a number of Shares with a value equal to the Prepayment Amount in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction of Counterparty’s incorporation. (ix) Counterparty is not, and after giving effect to each Transaction will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. (x) Counterparty has not entered, and will not enter, into any repurchase transaction with respect to the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) (including any agreements similar to the Transactions described herein), where any initial hedge period, calculation period, relevant period, settlement valuation period or seller termination purchase period (each however defined) in such other transaction will overlap at any time (including as a result of extensions in such initial hedge period, calculation period, relevant period, settlement valuation period or seller termination purchase period as provided in the relevant agreements) with any Relevant Period, any Settlement Valuation Period (if applicable) or any Seller Termination Purchase Period (if applicable) under this Master Confirmation. In the event that the initial hedge period, relevant period, calculation period or settlement valuation period in any other transaction overlaps with any Relevant Period, any Settlement Valuation Period (if applicable) or any Seller Termination Purchase Period (if applicable) under this Master Confirmation as a result of any postponement of the Scheduled Termination Date or extension of the Settlement Valuation Period pursuant to “Valuation Disruption” above or any analogous provision in such other transaction, Counterparty shall promptly amend such other transaction (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Purchase (as defined below)) to avoid any such overlap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6(b)(x) or this Master Confirmation shall prohibit or apply to the following (each, a “Permitted Purchase”): (i) any repurchase of Shares by or on behalf of Counterparty from holders of awards granted under Counterparty’s equity incentive plans for the purpose of paying the tax withholding obligations arising from vesting of, or paying the exercise price in connection with the exercise of, or reacquiring Shares as a result of the forfeiture of, any such awards, (ii) any purchase of Shares by Counterparty pursuant to any Rule 10b5-1 or Rule 10b-18 repurchase plan entered into with Dealer or an Affiliate of Dealer or (iii) any purchase of Shares by or on behalf of Counterparty in connection with any employee stock payroll deduction plan for participating employees of Counterparty or its Affiliates, or any options exercised thereunder. (xi) Counterparty shall, at least one day prior to the first day of the Calculation Period, the Settlement Valuation Period, if any, or the Seller Termination Purchase Period, if any, for any Transaction, notify Dealer of the total number of Shares purchased in Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks pursuant to the once-a-week block exception set forth in paragraph
14 (b)(4) of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b-18”) by or for Counterparty or any of its “affiliated purchasers” (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during each of the four calendar weeks preceding such day and during the calendar week in which such day occurs (“Rule 10b-18 purchase” and “blocks” each being used as defined in Rule 10b-18), which notice shall be substantially in the form set forth in Schedule B hereto. (xii) As of the Trade Date for each Transaction hereunder there has not been any Merger Announcement (as defined below). (xiii) Counterparty understands that no obligations of Dealer to it hereunder will be entitled to the benefit of deposit insurance and that such obligations will not be guaranteed by any affiliate of Dealer or any governmental agency. (xiv) CARES Act. Counterparty represents and warrants that it and each of its subsidiaries has not applied, and shall not, until after the first date on which no portion of the Transaction remains outstanding following any final exercise and settlement, cancellation or early termination of the Transaction, apply, for a loan, loan guarantee, direct loan (as that term is defined in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”)) or other investment, or to receive any financial assistance or relief under any program or facility (collectively “Financial Assistance”) that (a) is established under applicable law (whether in existence as of the Trade Date or subsequently enacted, adopted or amended), including without limitation the CARES Act and the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, and (b) (i) requires under applicable law (or any regulation, guidance, interpretation or other pronouncement of a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility) as a condition of such Financial Assistance, that the Counterparty comply with any requirement not to, or otherwise agree, attest, certify or warrant that it has not, as of the date specified in such condition, repurchased, or will not repurchase, any equity security of Counterparty, and that Counterparty has not, as of the date specified in the condition, made a capital distribution or will not make a capital distribution, or (ii) where the terms of the Transaction would cause Counterparty to fail to satisfy any condition for application for or receipt or retention of the Financial Assistance (collectively “Restricted Financial Assistance”); provided, that Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries may apply for Restricted Financial Assistance if Counterparty either (a) determines based on the advice of outside counsel of national standing that the terms of the Transaction would not cause Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries to fail to satisfy any condition for application for or receipt or retention of such Financial Assistance based on the terms of the program or facility as of the date of such advice or (b) delivers to Dealer evidence or other guidance from a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility that the Transaction is permitted under such program or facility (either by specific reference to the Transaction or by general reference to transactions with the attributes of the Transaction in all relevant respects). (c) In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement, Dealer represents, warrants and covenants to Counterparty that: (i) In addition to the covenants in the Agreement and herein, Dealer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, during the Calculation Period and any Settlement Valuation Period (as defined in Annex A) for any Transaction, to make all purchases of Shares in connection with such Transaction in a manner that would comply with the limitations set forth in clauses (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3) and (b)(4) and (c) of Rule 10b-18, as if such rule were applicable to such purchases and taking into account any applicable Securities and Exchange Commission no-action letters as appropriate, and subject to any delays between the execution and reporting of a trade of the Shares on the Exchange and other circumstances beyond Dealer’s control; provided that, during the Calculation Period, the foregoing agreement shall not apply to purchases made to dynamically hedge for Dealer’s own account or the account of its affiliate(s) the optionality arising under a Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, timing optionality); provided further that, without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this Section 6(c)(i), Dealer shall
15 not be responsible for any failure to comply with Rule 10b-18(b)(3) to the extent any transaction that was executed (or deemed to be executed) by or on behalf of Counterparty or an “affiliated purchaser” (as defined under Rule 10b-18) pursuant to a separate agreement is not deemed to be an “independent bid” or an “independent transaction” for purposes of Rule 10b-18(b)(3). (ii) In connection with each Transaction, Dealer represents and warrants to Counterparty that it has not, at any time before the public announcement of the Trade Date by Counterparty of its entry into such Transaction, discussed any offsetting transaction(s) in respect of such Transaction with any third party. (iii) Dealer hereby represents and covenants to Counterparty that it has implemented policies and procedures, taking into consideration the nature of its business, reasonably designed to ensure that individuals making investment decisions related to any Transaction do not have access to material nonpublic information regarding Issuer or the Shares. (iv) Within one Exchange Business Day of purchasing any Shares on behalf of Counterparty pursuant to the once-a-week block exception set forth in paragraph (b)(4) of Rule 10b-18, Dealer shall notify Counterparty of the total number of Shares so purchased. (v) On the first Exchange Business Day of each week, Dealer shall provide weekly reports (the “Weekly Reports”) in connection with such Transaction to the Counterparty and to such other persons or agents of the Counterparty as the Counterparty shall reasonably designate in writing, by electronic mail to the Counterparty or its designee. Each weekly report shall include the ADTV in the Shares for each Scheduled Trading Day during the immediately preceding week (as defined and determined in accordance with Rule 10b-18, as defined herein), the VWAP Price for each such Scheduled Trading Day and the high and low price on each such Scheduled Trading Day. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the two immediately preceding sentences, the VWAP Price for purposes of this Master Confirmation shall be determined pursuant the language opposite the caption “VWAP Price” in Section 1 of this Master Confirmation under the heading “Valuation” and not on the basis of, or by reference to, the VWAP Price set forth in any Weekly Report. 7. Regulatory Disruption. In the event Dealer concludes, in its good faith, reasonable judgment, based on commercially reasonable discretion and upon the advice of counsel, that it is appropriate, with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or policies and procedures generally applicable to accelerated share repurchase transactions, consistently applied, and imposed by, or related to its compliance with, applicable law, for it to refrain from or decrease any market activity, and in order to maintain, establish or unwind a commercially reasonable hedge position, on any Scheduled Trading Day or Days during the Calculation Period or, if applicable, the Settlement Valuation Period, Dealer may by written notice to Counterparty elect to deem that a Market Disruption Event has occurred and will be continuing on such Scheduled Trading Day or Days. Dealer shall notify Counterparty as soon as practicable (but in no event later than one Scheduled Trading Day) that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred and the Scheduled Trading Days affected by it, provided that the Dealer shall not be obligated to disclose any proprietary or confidential models or any other confidential or proprietary information, in each case, used by it for such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, Dealer shall make its determination pursuant to the first sentence of this section in a manner consistent with determinations made with respect to other issuers under similar facts and circumstances. 8. 10b5-1 Plan. The parties intend that each Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-1 and each Transaction entered into under this Master Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c). (a) Counterparty represents, warrants and covenants to Dealer that Counterparty is entering into this Master Confirmation and each Transaction hereunder in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”) or any other antifraud or anti-manipulation provisions of the federal or applicable state securities laws and
16 that it has not entered into or altered and will not enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. (b) During the Calculation Period and the Settlement Valuation Period, if any, for any Transaction and in connection with the delivery of any Alternative Delivery Units for any Transaction, Dealer (or its agent or Affiliate) may effect transactions in Shares in connection with such Transaction. The timing of such transactions by Dealer, the price paid or received per Share pursuant to such transactions and the manner in which such transactions are made, including whether such transactions are made on any securities exchange or privately, shall be within the sole judgment of Dealer. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that all such transactions shall be made in Dealer’s sole judgment and for Dealer’s own account. (c) Counterparty does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any control or influence over how, when or whether Dealer (or its agent or Affiliate) makes any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) in connection with any Transaction, including over how, when or whether Dealer (or its agent or Affiliate) enters into any hedging transactions. Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation under Rule 10b5-1. (d) Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Master Confirmation or any Supplemental Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares. (e) Counterparty shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate any material, non-public information relating to the Shares or any Transaction (including any notices required by Section 10(a)) to any employee of Dealer, other than as set forth in the Communications Procedures attached as Annex B hereto. 9. Counterparty Purchases. Without the prior written consent of Dealer (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or denied), and except for purchases which are not solicited by or on behalf of Counterparty and employee stock repurchases (or any “affiliate” or “affiliated purchaser” as defined in Rule 10b-18), Counterparty shall not directly or indirectly (including by means of a derivative instrument) purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer relating to, any Shares (or equivalent interest, including a unit of beneficial interest in a trust or limited partnership or a depository share), listed contracts on the Shares or securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares (including any Rule 10b-18 purchases of blocks (as defined in Rule 10b-18)) during any Relevant Period, any Settlement Valuation Period (if applicable) or any Seller Termination Purchase Period (if applicable), under this Master Confirmation. Nothing in this Section 9 shall prohibit or apply to Permitted Purchases or to any acquisition, exercise, exchange or other transaction in connection with any awards under any equity incentive plan or program of Counterparty. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph or anything herein to the contrary (i) an agent independent of Counterparty may purchase Shares effected by or for an issuer plan Counterparty in accordance with the requirements of Section 10b-18(a)(13)(ii) under the Exchange Act (with “issuer plan” and “agent independent of Counterparty” each being used herein as defined in Rule 10b-18), and (ii) Counterparty or any “affiliated purchaser” may purchase Shares in (x) unsolicited transactions or (y) privately negotiated (off-market) transactions, in each case, that are not “Rule 10b-18 purchases” (as defined in Rule 10b-18), in each case, without Dealer’s consent. 10. Special Provisions for Merger Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions:
17 (a) Counterparty agrees that: (i) except to the extent required by law, and unless such Merger Announcement (defined below) is made prior to the opening or after the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange for the Shares, it will not during the period commencing on the Trade Date for any Transaction and ending on the last day of the Relevant Period or, if applicable, the later of the last day of the Settlement Valuation Period and the last day of the Seller Termination Purchase Period, for such Transaction make, or to the extent within Counterparty’s reasonable control, permit to be made, any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction (a “Merger Announcement”); (ii) it shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) notify Dealer following any such Merger Announcement that such Merger Announcement has been made; and (iii) it shall promptly (but in any event prior to the next opening of the regular trading session on the Exchange) provide Dealer with written notice specifying (i) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b-18 Purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months immediately preceding the announcement date of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction that were not effected through Dealer or its Affiliates and (ii) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the proviso in Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Exchange Act for the three full calendar months preceding the announcement date of any Merger Transaction or potential Merger Transaction. Such written notice shall be deemed to be a certification by Counterparty to Dealer that such information is true and correct. In addition, Counterparty shall promptly notify Dealer of the earlier to occur of the completion of such transaction and the completion of the vote by target shareowners. (b) Counterparty acknowledges that any such Merger Announcement or delivery of a notice with respect thereto may cause the terms of any Transaction to be adjusted or such Transaction to be terminated; accordingly, Counterparty acknowledges that its delivery of such notice must comply with the standards set forth in Section 8 above. (c) Upon the occurrence of any Merger Announcement (whether made by Counterparty or a third party), Dealer, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, may (i) make commercially reasonable adjustments to the terms of any Transaction to account for the economic effect of the Transaction of such Merger Announcement, including adjustments to the Scheduled Termination Date or the Forward Price Adjustment Amount, and/or suspend the Calculation Period and/or any Settlement Valuation Period or (ii) treat the occurrence of such Merger Announcement as an Additional Termination Event with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and the Transactions hereunder as the Affected Transactions and with the amount under Section 6(e) of the Agreement determined taking into account the fact that the Calculation Period or Settlement Valuation Period, as the case may be, had fewer Scheduled Trading Days than originally anticipated. “Merger Transaction” means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction involving a recapitalization as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv) under the Exchange Act, other than, solely for purposes of this Section 10, any such transaction in which the consideration consists solely of cash and there is no valuation period. 11. Special Provisions for Acquisition Transaction Announcements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions: (a) If an Acquisition Transaction Announcement occurs on or prior to the Settlement Date for any Transaction, then the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments to the exercise, settlement, payment or any other terms of such Transaction (including adjustments to the Forward Price Adjustment Amount) as the Calculation Agent determines are commercially reasonable, at such time or at multiple times as the Calculation Agent determines appropriate, to account for the economic effect on such Transaction of such Acquisition Transaction Announcement, provided such
18 adjustments shall only be made to account for changes in the inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for- fixed forward or option on equity shares, as applied to the Transaction, and provided further that no such adjustments shall be made to account for changes in expected dividends. (b) “Acquisition Transaction Announcement” means (i) the announcement by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries of an Acquisition Transaction or an event that, if consummated, would result in an Acquisition Transaction, (ii) an announcement that Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries has entered into an agreement, a letter of intent or an understanding designed to result in an Acquisition Transaction, by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries or any other party that is a party to such agreement or letter of intent, (iii) the announcement by Counterparty of the intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that may include, an Acquisition Transaction, (iv) any other similar announcement by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries that is bona fide and, in the reasonable judgment of the Calculation Agent, is reasonably likely to result in an Acquisition Transaction, or (v) any announcement of any change or amendment to any previous Acquisition Transaction Announcement (including any announcement of the abandonment of any such previously announced Acquisition Transaction, agreement, letter of intent, understanding or intention). For the avoidance of doubt, announcements as used in the definition of Acquisition Transaction Announcement refer to any public announcement, whether made by the Issuer or a third party; provided that such announcement by such third party shall be bona fide and such third party has filed a Schedule 13D under Rule 13d-1 (or, if applicable, Rule 13d-2) of the Exchange Act in respect of such announcement. (c) “Acquisition Transaction” means (i) any Merger Event (for purposes of this definition the definition of Merger Event shall be read with the references therein to “100%” being replaced by “30%” and references to “50%” being replaced by “75%” and without reference to the clause beginning immediately following the definition of Reverse Merger therein to the end of such definition), Tender Offer or Merger Transaction or any other transaction involving the merger of Counterparty with or into any third party, (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Counterparty, (iii) a recapitalization, reclassification, binding share exchange or other similar transaction with respect to Counterparty, (iv) any acquisition by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration transferable by Counterparty or its subsidiaries exceeds 50% of the market capitalization of Counterparty, (v) any lease, exchange, transfer, disposition (including by way of spin-off or distribution) of assets (including any capital stock or other ownership interests in subsidiaries) or other similar event by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration transferable or receivable by or to Counterparty or its subsidiaries exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of Counterparty (measured as of the relevant date of announcement) or (vi) any transaction in which Counterparty or its board of directors has a legal obligation to make a recommendation to its shareowners in respect of such transaction (whether pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or otherwise). 12. Acknowledgments. (a) The parties hereto intend for: (i) each Transaction to be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “forward contract” as defined in Section 101(25) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(j), 555, 556, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) the Agreement to be a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) a party’s right to liquidate, terminate or accelerate any Transaction, net out or offset termination values or payment amounts, and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or Termination Event under the Agreement with respect to the other party or any Extraordinary Event that results in the termination or cancellation
19 of any Transaction to constitute a “contractual right” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code); and (iv) all payments for, under or in connection with each Transaction, all payments for the Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of the Prepayment Amount) and the transfer of such Shares to constitute “settlement payments” and “transfers” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code). (b) Counterparty acknowledges that: (i) during the term of any Transaction, Dealer and its Affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to establish, adjust or unwind its hedge position with respect to such Transaction; (ii) Dealer and its Affiliates may also be active in the market for the Shares and Share-linked transactions other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to any Transaction; (iii) Dealer shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in Counterparty’s securities shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Forward Price and the VWAP Price; (iv) any market activities of Dealer and its Affiliates with respect to the Shares may affect the market price and volatility of the Shares, as well as the Forward Price and VWAP Price, each in a manner that may be adverse to Counterparty; and (v) each Transaction is a derivatives transaction in which it has granted Dealer an option; Dealer may purchase shares for its own account at an average price that may be greater than, or less than, the price paid by Counterparty under the terms of the related Transaction. 13. No Collateral, Netting or Setoff. Obligations under any Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Master Confirmation or any Supplemental Confirmation, or under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be netted, recouped or set off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against obligations under any Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement, this Master Confirmation or any Supplemental Confirmation, or under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff, netting or recoupment. 14. Delivery of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dealer may, by prior notice to Counterparty, satisfy its obligation to deliver any Shares or other securities on any date due (an “Original Delivery Date”) by making separate deliveries of Shares or such securities, as the case may be, at more than one time on or prior to such Original Delivery Date, so long as the aggregate number of Shares and other securities so delivered on or prior to such Original Delivery Date is equal to the number required to be delivered on such Original Delivery Date. 15. Alternative Termination Settlement. In the event that (a) an Early Termination Date (whether as a result of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) occurs or is designated with respect to any Transaction or (b) any Transaction is cancelled or terminated upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (except as a result of (i) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, (ii) a Merger Event or Tender Offer that is within Counterparty’s control, or (iii) an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party other than an Event of Default arising solely from a failure to comply with Section 6(b)(vi) of this Master Confirmation, an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control), if either party would owe any amount to the other party pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or any Cancellation Amount
20 pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (any such amount, a “Payment Amount”), then, in lieu of any payment of such Payment Amount, unless Counterparty makes an election to the contrary no later than the Early Termination Date or the date on which such Transaction is terminated or cancelled, Counterparty or Dealer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the other party a number of Shares (or, in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, a number of units, each comprising the number or amount of the securities or property that a hypothetical holder of one Share would receive in such Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event, as the case may be (each such unit, an “Alternative Delivery Unit”) with a value equal to the Payment Amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent over a commercially reasonable period of time (and the parties agree that, in making such determination of value, the Calculation Agent may take into account the market price of the Shares or Alternative Delivery Units on the Early Termination Date or the date of early cancellation or termination, as the case may be, and, if such delivery is made by Dealer, the prices at which Dealer purchases Shares or Alternative Delivery Units on any Exchange Business Day to fulfill its delivery obligations under this Section 15); provided that in determining the composition of any Alternative Delivery Unit, if the relevant Nationalization, Insolvency or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash; and provided further that Counterparty may elect that the provisions of this Section 15 above providing for the delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, shall not apply only if Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer, in writing on the date it notifies Dealer of such election, that, as of such date, Counterparty is not aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares and is making such election in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws. If delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 15 is to be made by Counterparty, paragraphs 2 through 7 of Annex A hereto shall apply as if (A) such delivery were a settlement of such Transaction to which Net Share Settlement applied, (B) the Cash Settlement Payment Date were the Early Termination Date or the date of early cancellation or termination, as the case may be, and (C) the Forward Cash Settlement Amount were equal to (x) zero minus (y) the Payment Amount owed by Counterparty. For the avoidance of doubt, if Counterparty validly elects for the provisions of this Section 15 relating to the delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, not to apply to any Payment Amount, the provisions of Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, or the provisions of Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as the case may be, shall apply. If delivery of Shares or Alternative Delivery Units, as the case may be, is to be made by Dealer pursuant to this Section 15, the period during which Dealer purchases Shares or Alternative Delivery Units to fulfill its delivery obligations under this Section 15 shall be referred to as the “Seller Termination Purchase Period”. 16. Calculations and Payment Date upon Early Termination. The parties acknowledge and agree that in calculating (a) the Close-Out Amount pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement and (b) the amount due upon cancellation or termination of any Transaction (whether in whole or in part) pursuant to Article 12 of the Equity Definitions as a result of an Extraordinary Event, Dealer may (but need not) determine such amount based on (i) expected losses assuming a commercially reasonable (including with regard to reasonable legal and regulatory guidelines) risk bid were used to determine loss or (ii) the price at which one or more market participants would offer to sell to the Seller a block of shares of Common Stock equal in number to the Seller’s hedge position in relation to the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement or Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, all amounts calculated as being due in respect of an Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) of the Agreement or upon cancellation or termination of the relevant Transaction under Article 12 of the Equity Definitions will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective; provided that if Counterparty elects to receive or deliver Shares or Alternative Delivery Units in accordance with Section 15, such Shares or Alternative Delivery Units shall be delivered on a date selected by Dealer as promptly as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Early Termination Date occurs in respect of the Transaction, the amount payable shall be determined without regard to any dividends including Extraordinary Dividends or Excess Dividends or any dividend or distribution on the Shares described in Section 11.2(e)(ii)(A) or Section 11.2(e)(ii)(B) of the Equity Definitions. 17. Early Unwind. In the event that the offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement dated December 5, 2025 by and among the Counterparty and certain of its subsidiaries and the initial purchasers party thereto is not consummated for any reason (a “Failed Note Offering”) by the end of the Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the Prepayment Date (the “Early Unwind Date”), and, provided, that Counterparty provides Dealer with notice of such Failed Note Offering at or before 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Early Unwind Date, the Transaction shall automatically terminate (the “Early Unwind”) on the Early Unwind
21 Date and (i) the Transaction and all of the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Counterparty under the Transaction shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection with the Transaction either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date. Each of Dealer and Counterparty represents and acknowledges to the other that, upon an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed fully and finally discharged. 18. Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Confirmation, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that, on any day, Dealer shall not be obligated to receive from Counterparty any Shares, and Counterparty shall not be entitled to deliver to Dealer any Shares, to the extent (but only to the extent) that after such transactions Dealer’s ultimate parent entity would directly or indirectly “beneficially own” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) at any time on such day in excess of 8% of the outstanding Shares. Any purported receipt of Shares shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that after such receipt, Dealer’s ultimate parent entity would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 8% of the outstanding Shares. If, on any day, any receipt of Shares by Dealer is not effected, in whole or in part, as a result of this Section 17, Counterparty’s obligations to deliver such Shares shall not be extinguished and any such delivery shall be effected over time by Counterparty as promptly as Dealer determines, such that after any such delivery, Dealer’s ultimate parent entity would not directly or indirectly beneficially own in excess of 8% of the outstanding Shares. 19. Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Confirmation, in no event shall Dealer be required to deliver any Shares, or any Shares or other securities comprising Alternative Delivery Units, in respect of any Transaction in excess of the Maximum Number of Shares set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation for such Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver any Shares, or any Shares or other securities comprising Alternative Delivery Units, in respect of any Transactions in excess of the Reserved Shares. 20. Additional Termination Events. (a) The occurrence of an event described in paragraph III of Annex B hereto will constitute an Additional Termination Event, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and the Transactions specified in such paragraph III as the Affected Transactions. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 of the Agreement, if a Termination Price is specified in the Supplemental Confirmation for any Transaction, then an Additional Termination Event (with respect to which Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and such Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction) will occur without any notice or action by Dealer or Counterparty if, on two consecutive Exchange Business Days, the price of the Shares on the Exchange at any time falls below such Termination Price. 21. Non-confidentiality. Dealer and Counterparty hereby acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 8(e), each is authorized to disclose the tax structure and tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Master Confirmation and any Supplemental Confirmation hereunder to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, and there are no express or implied agreements, arrangements or understandings to the contrary. 22. Assignment and Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, without the consent of Counterparty, Dealer may assign any of its rights or duties hereunder to any one of its Affiliates (1) that has a long-term issuer rating that is equal to or greater than the higher of Dealer’s credit rating, as specified by at least one of Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, at the time of such assignment and such credit rating on the date of this Master Confirmation, and (2) whose obligations hereunder will be guaranteed, pursuant to the terms of a customary guarantee in a form used generally for similar transactions, by Dealer; provided that, at the time of such assignment (i) Counterparty will not be required to pay (including a payment in kind) to the transferee any amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e) of the Agreement) greater than the amount in respect of which Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer;
22 and (ii) Counterparty will not receive any payment (including a payment in kind) from which an amount had been withheld or deducted, on account of a Tax under Section 2(d)(i) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e) of the Agreement), in excess of that which Dealer would have been required to so withhold or deduct in the absence of such transfer, except to the extent that the transferee will be required to make additional payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement in respect of such excess. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Master Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its Affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of any Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations; provided that (i) Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty only to the extent of any such performance by such designee, and (ii) Dealer hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding any such designation hereunder, to the extent any of Dealer’s obligations in respect of any Transaction are not completed by its designee, Dealer shall be obligated to continue to perform or to cause any other of its designees to perform in respect of such obligations. 23. Amendments to the Equity Definitions. (a) Section 11.2(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the words “a material economic”; and adding the phrase “or the relevant Transaction; provided that such event is not based on (a) an observable market, other than the market for Counterparty’s own stock, or (b) an observable index, other than an index calculated or measured solely by reference to Counterparty’s own operations.” at the end of the sentence.

(f) Section 12.9(b)(v) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting clause (X) in the final sentence. 24. Extraordinary Dividend. If Counterparty declares any Extraordinary Dividend that has an ex-dividend date during the period commencing on the Trade Date for any Transaction and ending of the last day of the Relevant Period or, if applicable, the later of the last day of the Settlement Valuation Period and the last day of the Seller Termination Purchase Period, for such Transaction, then prior to or on the date on which such Extraordinary Dividend is paid by Counterparty to holders of record, Counterparty shall pay to Dealer, for each Transaction under this Master Confirmation, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the amount of such Extraordinary Dividend and (ii) the theoretical short delta number of shares as of the opening of business on the related ex-dividend date, as determined by the Calculation Agent, required for Dealer to hedge its exposure to such Transaction. 25. Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that neither this Master Confirmation nor any Supplemental Confirmation is intended to convey to Dealer rights against Counterparty with respect to any Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to any Transaction; provided further that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than any Transaction. 26. Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act. In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (“WSTAA”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under WSTAA or an amendment made by WSTAA, nor any similar legal certainty provision in any legislation enacted, or rule or regulation promulgated, on or after the date of this Master Confirmation, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement any Supplemental Confirmation, this Master Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under any Supplemental Confirmation, this Master Confirmation, the Equity Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including rights arising from Change in Law, Loss of Stock Borrow, Increased Cost of Stock Borrow, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging, or Illegality). 27. Delivery of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, other than payment of the Prepayment Amount by Buyer, nothing in this Master Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Buyer to cash settle any Transaction hereunder, except in circumstances where cash settlement is within Buyer’s control (including where Buyer elects to deliver or receive cash, where Buyer fails timely to elect to deliver Settlement Shares pursuant Annex A hereof in settlement of any Transaction hereunder or to deliver or receive Alternative Termination Delivery Units, or where Buyer has made settlement by delivery of Unregistered Settlement Shares in accordance with Annex A hereof unavailable due to the occurrence of events within its control) or in those circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash. 28. U.S. QFC Stay Rules. The parties agree that (i) to the extent that prior to the date hereof both parties have adhered to the ISDA 2018 U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol (the “Protocol”), the terms of the Protocol are incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement, and for such purposes this Agreement shall be deemed a Protocol Covered Agreement and each party shall be deemed to have the same status as Regulated Entity and/or Adhering Party as applicable to it under the Protocol; (ii) to the extent that prior to the date hereof the parties have executed a separate agreement the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between them to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules (the “Bilateral Agreement”), the terms of the Bilateral Agreement are incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement and each party shall be deemed to have the status of “Covered Entity” or “Counterparty Entity” (or other similar term) as applicable to it under the Bilateral Agreement; or (iii) if clause (i) and clause (ii) do not apply, the terms of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the “Bilateral Terms”) of the form of
24 bilateral template entitled “Full-Length Omnibus (for use between U.S. G-SIBs and Corporate Groups)” published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. on November 2, 2018 (available as of the date of this Master Confirmation at www.isda.org and a copy of which is available upon request), the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between the parties thereto to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement, and for such purposes this Agreement shall be deemed a “Covered Agreement,” Dealer shall be deemed a “Covered Entity” and Issuer shall be deemed a “Counterparty Entity.” In the event that, after the date of this Agreement, both parties hereto become adhering parties to the Protocol, the terms of the Protocol will replace the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the terms of the Protocol, the Bilateral Agreement or the Bilateral Terms (each, the “QFC Stay Terms”), as applicable, the QFC Stay Terms will govern. Terms used in this Section 28 without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “this Agreement” include any related credit enhancements entered into between the parties or provided by one to the other. In addition, the parties agree that the terms of this paragraph shall be incorporated into any related covered affiliate credit enhancements, with all references to Dealer replaced by references to the covered affiliate support provider. “QFC Stay Rules” means the regulations codified at 12 C.F.R. 252.2, 252.81–8, 12 C.F.R. 382.1-7 and 12 C.F.R. 47.1-8, which, subject to limited exceptions, require an express recognition of the stay-and-transfer powers of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Orderly Liquidation Authority under Title II of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the override of default rights related directly or indirectly to the entry of an affiliate into certain insolvency proceedings and any restrictions on the transfer of any covered affiliate credit enhancements. 29. FATCA Withholding Tax. The parties agree that “Indemnifiable Tax” as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement shall not include (i) any tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation or rules adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”) or (ii) any tax imposed on amounts treated as dividends from sources within the United States, including under Section 871(m) of the Code (or the United States Treasury Regulations or other guidance issued thereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement. 30. Counterparts. This Master Confirmation may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any party hereto may execute this Master Confirmation by signing and delivering one or more counterparts. 31. Credit Support. The parties hereto acknowledge that no Transaction hereunder is secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein or pursuant to the Agreement. 32. Waiver of Jury Trial.

If all of the conditions for delivery of either Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares have not been satisfied, Cash Settlement shall be applicable in accordance with paragraph 1 above notwithstanding Counterparty’s election of Net Share Settlement. 3. Counterparty may only deliver Registered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above if: (a) a registration statement covering public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Dealer (the “Registration Statement”) shall have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and been declared or otherwise become effective on or prior to the date of delivery, and no stop order shall be in effect with respect to the Registration Statement; a printed prospectus relating to the Registered Settlement Shares (including, any prospectus supplement thereto, the “Prospectus”) shall have been delivered to Dealer, in such quantities as Dealer shall reasonably have requested, on or prior to the date of delivery; (b) the form and content of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including, any sections describing the plan of distribution) shall be reasonably satisfactory to Dealer; (c) as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and its agents shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities of similar size (provided that prior to receiving or being granted access to any such information, Dealer and any such agent may be required by Counterparty to enter into a customary nondisclosure agreement with Counterparty in respect of any such due diligence investigation) and the results of such investigation are reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment; and (d) as of the date of delivery, an agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) shall have been entered into with Dealer in connection with the public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Dealer substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Underwriting Agreement shall include, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements relating to the mutual indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, the parties and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters. 4. If Counterparty delivers Unregistered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 2 above:
Annex A-3 (a) all Unregistered Settlement Shares shall be delivered to Dealer (or any Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof; (b) as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and any potential purchaser of any such shares from Dealer (or any Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for private placements of equity securities of similar size by issuers similar to Counterparty (including, the right to have made available to them for inspection all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them); provided that prior to receiving or being granted access to any such information, any such Dealer (or Affiliate) or potential purchaser may be required by Counterparty to enter into a customary nondisclosure agreement with Counterparty in respect of any such due diligence investigation; (c) as of the date of delivery, Counterparty shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Dealer (or any Affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Dealer (or any such Affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Dealer (or any such Affiliate), substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of similar size by similar issuers, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Private Placement Agreement shall (i) include provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements relating to the mutual indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, the parties, (ii) provide for Counterparty to use its best efforts to provide documentation appropriate for private placement of equity securities of similar size by similar issuers, and the payment by Counterparty of all commercially reasonable and actual, documented out-of-pocket expenses of Dealer (and any such Affiliate) in connection with such resale up to an amount equal to 2.00% of the amount determined in clause (x) of paragraph 2 above, including all reasonable fees and actual, documented out-of-pocket expenses of one outside counsel for Dealer (such expenses to be without duplication of expenses in clause (y) of paragraph 2 above), and (iii) contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resales; and (d) in connection with the private placement of such shares by Counterparty to Dealer (or any such Affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Dealer (or any such Affiliate), Counterparty shall, if so requested by Dealer, prepare, in cooperation with Dealer, a private placement memorandum in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer. 5. Dealer, itself or through an Affiliate (the “Selling Agent”) or any underwriter(s), using commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the highest rate, will sell all, or such lesser portion as may be required hereunder, of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares and any Makewhole Shares (as defined below) (together, the “Settlement Shares”) delivered by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to paragraph 6 below commencing on the Cash Settlement Payment Date and continuing until the date on which the aggregate Net Proceeds (as such term is defined below) of such sales, as determined by Dealer, is equal to the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (such date, the “Final Resale Date”). If Counterparty is prohibited by law or by contract from disclosing all material non-public information known to Counterparty with respect to Counterparty and the Shares to any potential purchasers of such Settlement Shares, then the sale of such Settlement Shares shall not be required to commence until the earlier of (x) the 30th calendar day immediately following the Cash Settlement Payment Date and (y) the first date immediately following the Cash Settlement Payment Date on which Counterparty reasonably concludes that it is able to disclose such information. If the proceeds of any sale(s) made by Dealer, the Selling Agent or any underwriter(s), net of any commercially reasonable fees and commissions (including underwriting or placement fees) customary for similar transactions under the circumstances at the time of the offering, together with commercially reasonable carrying charges and expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares (including the covering of any over-allotment or short position (syndicate or otherwise)) (the “Net Proceeds”) exceed the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount, Dealer will refund, in USD, such excess or, at the Counterparty’s election, a number of Shares equal to such excess determined by the Dealer in its commercially reasonable discretion, to Counterparty on the date that is three (3) Currency Business Days following the Final Resale Date, and, if any portion of the Settlement Shares remains unsold, Dealer shall return to Counterparty on that date such unsold Shares.
Annex A-4 6. If the Calculation Agent determines that the Net Proceeds received from the sale of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares or any Makewhole Shares, if any, pursuant to this paragraph 6 are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount (the amount in USD by which the Net Proceeds are less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount being the “Shortfall” and the date on which such determination is made, the “Deficiency Determination Date”), Counterparty shall on the Exchange Business Day next succeeding the Deficiency Determination Date (the “Makewhole Notice Date”) deliver to Dealer, through the Selling Agent, a notice of Counterparty’s election that Counterparty shall either (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall on the day that is one Currency Business Day after the Makewhole Notice Date, or (ii) deliver additional Shares. If Counterparty elects to deliver to Dealer additional Shares, then Counterparty shall deliver additional Shares in compliance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 3 or paragraph 4 above, as the case may be (the “Makewhole Shares”), on the first Clearance System Business Day which is also an Exchange Business Day following the Makewhole Notice Date in such number as the Calculation Agent reasonably believes would have a market value on that Exchange Business Day equal to the Shortfall. Such Makewhole Shares shall be sold by Dealer in accordance with the provisions above; provided that if the sum of the Net Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from the sale of any Makewhole Shares is less than the absolute value of the Forward Cash Settlement Amount then Counterparty shall, at its election, either make such cash payment or deliver to Dealer further Makewhole Shares until such Shortfall has been reduced to zero. 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate number of Settlement Shares for any Transaction be greater than the Reserved Shares minus the amount of any Shares actually delivered by Counterparty under any other Transaction under this Master Confirmation (the result of such calculation, the “Capped Number”). Counterparty represents and warrants (which shall be deemed to be repeated on each day that a Transaction is outstanding) that the Capped Number is equal to or less than the number of Shares determined according to the following formula: A – B Where A = the number of authorized but unissued shares of Counterparty that are not reserved for future issuance on the date of the determination of the Capped Number; and B = the maximum number of Shares required to be delivered to third parties if Counterparty elected Net Share Settlement of all transactions in the Shares (other than Transactions in the Shares under this Master Confirmation) with all third parties that are then currently outstanding and unexercised. “Reserved Shares” means, for each Transaction, as set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation for such Transaction. If at any time, as a result of this paragraph 7, Counterparty fails to deliver to Dealer any Settlement Shares, Counterparty shall, to the extent that Counterparty has at such time authorized but unissued Shares not reserved for other purposes, promptly notify Dealer thereof and deliver to Dealer a number of Shares not previously delivered as a result of this paragraph 7.
Annex B-1 ANNEX B COMMUNICATIONS PROCEDURES December 12, 2025 I. Introduction Planet Fitness, Inc. (“Counterparty”) and Citibank, N.A. (“Dealer”) have adopted these communications procedures (the “Communications Procedures”) in connection with entering into the Master Confirmation (the “Master Confirmation”), dated as of December 12, 2025, between Dealer and Counterparty relating to Uncollared Accelerated Share Repurchase transactions. These Communications Procedures supplement, form part of, and are subject to the Master Confirmation. II. Communications Rules For each Transaction, from the Trade Date for such Transaction until the date all payments or deliveries of Shares have been made with respect to such Transaction, Counterparty and its Employees and Designees shall not engage in any Program-Related Communication with, or disclose any Material Non-Public Information to, any Trading Personnel; provided, however, that Communications in respect of a Permitted Purchase falling under romanette (ii) of the Permitted Purchase definition shall be permitted with Designated Trading Personnel. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Master Confirmation shall not limit Counterparty and its Employees and Designees in their communication with Affiliates and Employees of Dealer, including Employees who are Permitted Contacts. III. Termination If, in the sole judgment of any Trading Personnel or any Affiliate or Employee of Dealer participating in any Communication with Counterparty or any Employee or Designee of Counterparty, such Communication would not be permitted by these Communications Procedures, such Trading Personnel or Affiliate or Employee of Dealer shall immediately terminate such Communication. In such case, or if such Trading Personnel or Affiliate or Employee of Dealer determines following completion of any Communication with Counterparty or any Employee or Designee of Counterparty that such Communication was not permitted by these Communications Procedures, such Trading Personnel or such Affiliate or Employee of Dealer shall promptly consult with his or her supervisors and with counsel for Dealer regarding such Communication. If, in the reasonable judgment of Dealer’s counsel following such consultation, there is more than an insignificant risk that such Communication could materially jeopardize the availability of the affirmative defenses provided in Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act with respect to any ongoing or contemplated activities of Dealer or its Affiliates in respect of any Transaction pursuant to the Master Confirmation, it shall be an Additional Termination Event pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Master Confirmation, with Counterparty as the sole Affected Party and all Transactions under the Master Confirmation as Affected Transactions.

As used herein, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings: “Communication” means any contact or communication (whether written, electronic, oral or otherwise) between Counterparty or any of its Employees or Designees, on the one hand, and Dealer or any of its Affiliates or Employees, on the other hand. “Designated Trading Personnel” means Thomas Cincotta and Peter DeCandia and any other Employee of the public side of the Special Equities Transaction Group of Dealer; provided that Dealer may amend the list of Designated Trading Personnel by delivering a revised list of Designated Trading Personnel to Counterparty (which amended list shall become effective on the third Exchange Business Day immediately following delivery of such list by Dealer to Counterparty). “Designee” means a person designated, in writing or orally, by Counterparty to communicate with Dealer on behalf of Counterparty.
Annex B-2 “Permitted Contact” means any of Eric Natelson, Theodore Finkelstein and Bianca Gotuaco or any of their designees; provided that Dealer may amend the list of Permitted Contacts by delivering a revised list of Permitted Contacts to Counterparty (which amended list shall become effective on the third Exchange Business Day immediately following delivery of such list by Dealer to Counterparty). “Trading Personnel” means Vladimir Galiothe and Steven Tobkin and any other Employee of the public side of the Strategic Equity Solutions Group of Dealer; provided that Dealer may amend the list of Trading Personnel by delivering a revised list of Trading Personnel to Counterparty (which amended list shall become effective on the third Exchange Business Day immediately following delivery of such list by Dealer to Counterparty); and provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, the persons listed as Permitted Contacts are not Trading Personnel. “Employee” means, with respect to any entity, any owner, principal, officer, director, employee or other agent or representative of such entity, and any Affiliate of any of such owner, principal, officer, director, employee, agent or representative. “Material Non-Public Information” means information relating to Counterparty or the Shares that (a) has not been widely disseminated by wire service, in one or more newspapers of general circulation, by communication from Counterparty to its shareowners or in a press release, or contained in a public filing made by Counterparty with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (b) a reasonable investor might consider to be of importance in making an investment decision to buy, sell or hold Shares.

Exhibit 99.2
Planet Fitness, Inc. Announces $350 Million Accelerated Share Repurchase Program
Hampton, NH, December 15, 2025 - Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: PLNT) (the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a $350 million accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The Company will acquire shares under the ASR Agreement as part of its $500 million share repurchase authorization previously announced on June 13, 2024 (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”). As of December 15, 2025, before giving effect to the ASR Agreement, approximately $350 million remained available for share repurchases pursuant to the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company will pay the Bank $350 million in cash and will initially receive approximately 2.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which is approximately 80% of the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock it expects to repurchase under the ASR Agreement. The total number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s Class A common stock during the term of the transaction, less an agreed discount and subject to potential adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. At final settlement, the Bank may be required to deliver additional shares of Class A common stock to the Company, or under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver shares of Class A common stock or to make a cash payment, at its election, to the Bank. The final settlement of the transaction under the ASR Agreement is expected to occur no later than the first quarter of 2026.
Share Repurchase Authorization
The Company today also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $500 million (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”), contingent upon, and effective at the completion of the ASR Agreement, to replace the existing 2024 Share Repurchase Program. The timing of the purchases and the amount of stock repurchased is subject to the Company’s discretion and will depend on market and business conditions, the Company’s general working capital needs, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The Company’s ability to repurchase shares at any particular time is also subject to the terms of the indenture governing its outstanding notes. Purchases may be effected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing. The Company is not obligated under the program to acquire any particular amount of stock and can suspend or terminate the program at any time.
