Item 1.01. |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the Company) believes the entry by the Company or certain subsidiaries of the Company into the
agreements and amendments described in Item 8.01 involves matters in the ordinary course of the Companys business. However, to the extent such matters constitute the Companys entry into a material definitive agreement or an
amendment of a material definitive agreement, the text of Item 8.01 is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.03. |
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
The Company believes the entry by the Company or certain subsidiaries of the Company into the agreements and amendments described in
Item 8.01 and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such agreements and amendments involve indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of the Companys business. However, to the extent such matters have resulted in the
Company becoming obligated on a direct financial obligation that is material to the Company, the text of Item 8.01 is incorporated by reference herein.
On
April 29, 2010, the Company, its subsidiary Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. (HDFS) and certain other subsidiaries entered into bank credit facilities providing for aggregate revolving commitments totaling
$1,350,000,000. The facilities were comprised of a $675,000,000, 364-day revolving facility maturing in April 2011 (the New 364-Day Credit Facility) and a $675,000,000 3-year revolving facility maturing in April 2013 (the
New 3-Year Credit Facility and, together with the New 364-Day Credit Facility, the 2010 Credit Facilities). The 2010 Credit Facilities replaced the Companys $625,000,000 364-day credit facility dated as of
April 30, 2009 and its $950,000,000 3-year credit facility dated as of July 16, 2008, each of which the Company terminated concurrently with the effectiveness of the 2010 Credit Facilities.
The Company, HDFS and other subsidiaries as borrowers or guarantors, various financial institutions as lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as administrative agent, are parties to the 2010 Credit Facilities. The Company is a party to the 2010 Credit Facilities as borrower, and until the Company achieves certain credit ratings, the Company is also a party to the 2010 Credit
Facilities as guarantor.
Borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facilities will bear interest at various variable rates, which may
be adjusted upward or downward depending on certain criteria, such as credit ratings. The 2010 Credit Facilities also require the Company to pay a fee based upon the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the 2010 Credit
Facilities.
HDFS has historically used credit facilities primarily to support HDFS unsecured commercial paper program
and to fund HDFS lending activities and other operations. Outstanding unsecured commercial paper may not exceed the unused portion of the 2010 Credit Facilities. As a result, the combined total of outstanding unsecured commercial paper of HDFS
and borrowings of all borrowers under the 2010 Credit Facilities may not exceed $1,350,000,000.
- 2 -
The 2010 Credit Facilities contain various restrictions and covenants, including
requirements that the Company and its subsidiaries maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels (as described in the following sentence) and other standard negative covenants. The 2010 Credit Facilities require (i) HDFS to, as of the
end of any fiscal quarter, maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of $500,000,000, (ii) HDFS and its consolidated subsidiaries to, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, maintain a ratio of (A) consolidated indebtedness
(excluding certain subordinated and intercompany indebtedness) to (B) the sum of consolidated shareholders equity net of intangible assets, preferred stock and certain subordinated indebtedness no greater than 10.00 to 1.00, and
(iii) the Company to maintain a ratio of (A) consolidated net income plus consolidated interest expense, taxes on or measured by income, depreciation expense and amortization expense (subject to certain other adjustments) to
(B) consolidated interest expense, as of the end of any fiscal quarter for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, of at least (A) 2.00 to 1.00, for each such period ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010,
(B) 2.25 to 1.00, for such period ended December 31, 2010, and (C) 2.50 to 1.00, for each such period thereafter.
The 2010 Credit Facilities also contain customary events of default. If an event of default under the 2010 Credit Facilities occurs and
is continuing, then the interest rate on all obligations under the 2010 Credit Facilities may be increased above the otherwise applicable rate, and the lenders under the 2010 Credit Facilities may terminate their commitments and declare any
outstanding obligations under the 2010 Credit Facilities to be immediately due and payable.
The New 364-Day Credit Facility
permits the Company to elect, subject to certain conditions including the payment of a fee, to convert revolving loans outstanding under the New 364-Day Credit Facility as of the April 2011 maturity date to a term loan maturing on the one-year
anniversary of such conversion.
The description of the New 3-Year Credit Facility and the New 364-Day Credit Facility,
respectively, set forth above is qualified by reference to the 3-Year Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Credit Agreement filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
On April 30, 2009, Harley-Davidson Warehouse Funding Corp. (the Borrower) and Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. (the
Servicer), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and a group of conduit lenders, committed lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as program agent, entered into a loan and servicing agreement (the 2009
Conduit Loan Agreement). The 2009 Conduit Loan Agreement provides for the extension of credit by a group of conduit lenders and committed lenders to the Borrower, the pledge of a portfolio of receivables arising from retail sales of
motorcycles (collectively, the Receivables) by the Borrower as collateral and the servicing of the Receivables by the Servicer. On April 30, 2009, the Borrower and the Servicer also entered into an amended and restated
receivables sale agreement that permits the conveyance of receivables by the Servicer to the Borrower from time to time in return for cash and/or equity. The conduit lenders under the 2009 Conduit Loan Agreement fund their advances to the Borrower
by issuing commercial paper.
- 3 -
On April 29, 2010, the parties to the 2009 Conduit Loan Agreement entered into an
amendment to the 2009 Conduit Loan Agreement (the Extension Amendment, and the 2009 Conduit Loan Agreement as amended by the Extension Amendment, the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement) extending its maturity date
from April 29, 2010 to July 28, 2010. Unless earlier terminated or subsequently extended by the mutual agreement of the Borrower and the lenders, the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement will expire on July 28, 2010, at which time the
Borrower will be obligated to repay all outstanding principal (if any) in full. The Company has the right to request an extension of the term for additional periods of 364 days, and the lenders may grant such request in their sole discretion and in
whole or in part. Otherwise, the term of the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement may again be extended only by agreement of all of the parties.
The Extended Conduit Loan Agreement continues to provide for (i) revolving borrowings in amounts based upon, among other things, the
amount of eligible Receivables pledged as collateral from time to time and financial ratios with respect to the performance of such Receivables and (ii) the release of collections on the Receivables (in excess of interest, fees and certain
other amounts) to the Borrower on a monthly basis. While the amount that the Borrower may borrow is based upon, among other things, the amount of eligible Receivables pledged as collateral, borrowings are subject to a maximum aggregate principal
amount outstanding from time to time of $600,000,000. The Extension Amendment reduced this maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding from $1,200,000,000.
The Extended Conduit Loan Agreement continues to provide for interest on outstanding principal based on prevailing commercial paper rates
or, to the extent the advance is not funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper, LIBOR, in each case plus a specified margin. The Extended Conduit Loan Agreement also continues to provide for an unused commitment fee based
on the excess of the aggregate commitments of the committed lenders under the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement over outstanding principal. The Servicer continues to act as servicer of the Receivables pursuant to the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement
and receives a fee for such services.
The amount that the Borrower intends to borrow under the Extended Conduit Loan
Agreement will vary based upon HDFS ability to continue to access the unsecured commercial paper markets, HDFS ability to access the term securitization markets and the amount of eligible Receivables that the Borrower can pledge as
collateral. The Borrower currently has, and immediately prior to the Extension Amendment had, no outstanding borrowings under the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement.
The Extended Conduit Loan Agreement continues to contain customary events of default (with grace periods where customary), including,
among other things, failure to pay interest or principal when due, change in control of the Company and insolvency events.
The lenders under the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement continue to have no recourse to the Company or any of its affiliates (other than
the Borrower) for repayment of the advances under the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement. In addition, neither the Company nor the Servicer, nor any of their affiliates, have guaranteed the collectability of the Receivables or the creditworthiness of
the obligors under the Receivables.

The description of the Extended Conduit Loan Agreement is qualified by reference to the
Amendment No. 1 to Loan and Servicing Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 4.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

(A) Making of Syndicated Canadian Loans. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV hereof
and set forth in the Syndicated Canadian Addendum, from and including the later of the date of this Agreement and the date of execution of the Syndicated Canadian Addendum and prior to the Termination Date (unless an earlier termination date shall

Canadian Prime Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans and CDOR Loans), in an amount not to exceed each such Syndicated Canadian Banks Syndicated Canadian Commitment (provided that the Global Administrative Agent may allocate any Syndicated

Banks Syndicated Canadian Commitment); provided, however, at no time shall (i) the Dollar Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Syndicated Canadian Loans exceed the Syndicated Canadian Commitments set forth in the

termination date shall be specified in or pursuant to the Syndicated Canadian Addendum), the outstanding principal balance of the Syndicated Canadian Loans shall be paid in full by the Canadian Borrower and prior to the Termination Date (unless an
earlier termination date shall be specified in or pursuant to the Syndicated Canadian Addendum), prepayments of the Syndicated Canadian Loans shall be made by the Canadian Borrower if and to the extent required in Section 2.3(B). By its
execution and delivery hereof, each Syndicated Global Lender agrees that it shall cause its affiliated Syndicated Canadian Bank with a Syndicated Canadian Commitment to execute and deliver to (or as directed by) the Global Administrative Agent, on
such Business Day as is reasonably requested by the Global Administrative Agent, an executed counterpart to such Syndicated Canadian Banks signature page to the Syndicated Canadian Addendum.
(B) Borrowing Notice. When the Canadian Borrower desires to borrow under this Section 2.2, the Canadian Borrower shall
deliver to the Global Administrative Agent a Syndicated Canadian Advance Borrowing Notice, signed by it, as provided in Section 2.6(a)(ii) specifying that the Canadian Borrower is requesting a Syndicated Canadian Loan pursuant to this
Section 2.2. Any Syndicated Canadian Advance Borrowing Notice given pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(ii) shall be irrevocable.
(C) Termination. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in no event shall a Syndicated Canadian Bank have the right to
accelerate the Syndicated Canadian Loans outstanding or to terminate its commitments (if any) under the Syndicated Canadian Addendum to make Syndicated Canadian Loans prior to the stated termination date in respect thereof, except that such
Syndicated Canadian Bank shall have such rights upon an acceleration of the Loans and a termination of the Commitments pursuant to Article VII and Article VIII.
26
(D) Statements. The Global Administrative Agent shall furnish to Harley not less
frequently than monthly, and at any other time at the reasonable request of Harley, a statement setting forth the outstanding Syndicated Canadian Loans made and repaid during the period since the last such report under the Syndicated Canadian
Addendum.
(E) Risk Participation. Immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of a Default under
Section 7.1(e), all Syndicated Canadian Loans shall be converted to and redenominated in Dollars equal to the Dollar Amount of each such Syndicated Canadian Loan determined as of the date of such conversion and each Syndicated Global
Lender shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received (to the extent of its unused Commitment) from each other Lender an undivided interest and participation in and to each Loan in such amounts as are
necessary such that, after giving effect thereto, each Syndicated Global Lender shall hold its Pro Rata Share of each Loan; provided, that to the extent such conversion shall occur other than at the end of an Interest Period, the Borrowers
shall pay to the Global Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each applicable Lender, all losses and breakage costs related thereto in accordance with Section 3.4 and, upon the written request of the Global Administrative
Agent, each of the Syndicated Global Lenders shall pay to the Global Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each applicable Lender not later than two (2) Business Days following a request for payment from such Lender, in Dollars, an
amount equal to the undivided interest in and participation in the applicable Loan purchased by such Syndicated Global Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2(E). In the event that any Syndicated Global Lender fails to make payment to the
Global Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.2(E), the Global Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such
Syndicated Global Lender hereunder until the Global Administrative Agent receives from such Syndicated Global Lender an amount sufficient to discharge such Syndicated Global Lenders payment obligation as prescribed in this
Section 2.2(E) together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand by the applicable Lender and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied. The
Global Administrative Agent will promptly remit all payments received as provided above to each relevant Lender.
(F) Other
Provisions Applicable to Syndicated Canadian Loans. The specification of payment of Syndicated Canadian Loans in Dollars or Canadian Dollars (as applicable) at a specific place pursuant to this Agreement and the Syndicated Canadian Addendum is
of the essence. Dollars or Canadian Dollars (as applicable) shall be the currency of account and payment of such Loans under this Agreement and the Syndicated Canadian Addendum. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the obligation of the
Canadian Borrower in respect of such Loans shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any other currency or at another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into Dollars or
Canadian Dollars (as applicable) and transfer to such Syndicated Canadian Bank under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of Dollars or Canadian Dollars (as applicable) due under this Agreement and the Syndicated Canadian Addendum. In
the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of Dollars or Canadian Dollars (as applicable) due under this Agreement or the Syndicated Canadian
Addendum, such Syndicated Canadian Bank shall have an independent cause of action against the applicable Borrower for the currency deficit.

promptly distribute to the relevant Lenders any notices received by it under this Section 2.4(a).
(b) Increase in Aggregate Commitment.
(i) At any time prior to the Termination Date, Harley may request that the Aggregate Commitment be increased; provided
that, (A) the Aggregate Commitment shall at no time exceed $1,000,000,000 and (B) each such request shall be in a minimum amount of at least $10,000,000. Each request shall be made in a written notice given to the Global Administrative
Agent and the Lenders by Harley not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase,
29
which notice (a Commitment Increase Notice) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase in the Aggregate Commitment and the proposed effective date of such increase. In
the event of such a Commitment Increase Notice, each of the Syndicated Global Lenders shall be given the opportunity to participate in the requested increase ratably in the proportions that their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate
Commitment under this Agreement. On or prior to the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Commitment Increase Notice, each Syndicated Global Lender shall submit to the Global Administrative Agent a notice indicating the
maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment in connection with such Commitment Increase Notice (any such notice to the Global Administrative Agent being herein a Lender Increase Notice). Any Syndicated Global
Lender which does not submit a Lender Increase Notice to the Global Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) Business Day period shall be deemed to have denied any increase in its Commitment. In the event that the
increases of Commitments set forth in the Lender Increase Notices exceed the amount requested by Harley in the Commitment Increase Notice, the Global Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall have the right, with the consent of Harley, to
allocate the amount of increases necessary to meet the Commitment Increase Notice. In the event that the Lender Increase Notices are less than the amount requested by the Commitment Increase Notice, not later than three (3) Business Days prior
to the proposed effective date of the requested increase, Harley may notify the Global Administrative Agent of any financial institution that shall have agreed to become a Lender party hereto (a Proposed New Lender) in
connection with the Commitment Increase Notice. Any Proposed New Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Global Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If Harley shall not have arranged any Proposed New
Lender(s) to commit to the shortfall from the Lender Increase Notices, then Harley shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of the Commitment Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in the Lender Increase Notices. Based upon the Lender
Increase Notices, any allocations made in connection therewith and any notice regarding any Proposed New Lender, if applicable, the Global Administrative Agent shall notify Harley and the Syndicated Global Lenders on or before the Business Day
immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Syndicated Global Lenders and Proposed New Lenders Commitment (the Effective Commitment Amount) and the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, which
amounts shall be effective on the following Business Day. Any increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (I) as of the date of the Commitment Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective
date of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment, no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which constitutes a Default or Unmatured Default, (II) Harley, the Global Administrative Agent and each Proposed New Lender or Syndicated Global
Lender that shall have agreed to provide a Commitment in support of such increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall have executed and delivered a Commitment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto,
(III) counsels for the Borrowers and for the Guarantors shall have provided to the Global Administrative Agent supplemental opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Global Administrative Agent and (IV) the Borrowers, the
Guarantors and the Proposed New Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Global Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such increase. If any fee shall be charged
by the Lenders in connection with any such increase, such fee shall be in accordance with then prevailing market conditions, which market conditions shall have been reasonably documented by the Global Administrative Agent to Harley. No less than two
(2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the increase of the Aggregate Commitment, the Global Administrative Agent shall notify Harley of the amount of the fee to be charged by the Lenders, and Harley may, at least one (1) Business
Day prior to such effective date, cancel its request for the commitment increase. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the Global Administrative Agent shall promptly advise Harley and each
Syndicated Global Lender of the effective date of such increase. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment that is supported by a Proposed New Lender, such Proposed New Lender shall be a party to this Agreement as a Lender
and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.
30
(ii) For purposes of this clause (ii), (A) the term Buying
Lender(s) shall mean (1) each Syndicated Global Lender the Effective Commitment Amount of which is greater than its Commitment prior to the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment and (2) each Proposed New
Lender that is allocated an Effective Commitment Amount in connection with any Commitment Increase Notice and (B) the term Selling Lender(s) shall mean each Syndicated Global Lender whose Commitment is not being increased
from that in effect prior to such increase in the Aggregate Commitment. Effective on the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to clause (i) above, each Selling Lender hereby sells, grants, assigns and conveys to
each Buying Lender, without recourse, warranty, or representation of any kind, except as specifically provided herein, an undivided percentage in such Selling Lenders right, title and interest in and to the sum of (i) the aggregate
principal amount of its Syndicated Global Loans outstanding at such time, plus (ii) an amount equal to its actual participation interest of its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans and Syndicated Canadian
Loans outstanding at such time (Outstanding Credit Exposure) in the respective Dollar Amounts and percentages necessary so that, from and after such sale, each such Selling Lenders Outstanding Credit Exposure shall equal
such Selling Lenders Pro Rata Share (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. Effective on the effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to clause
(i) above, each Buying Lender hereby purchases and accepts such grant, assignment and conveyance from the Selling Lenders. Each Buying Lender hereby agrees that its respective purchase price for the portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit
Exposure purchased hereby shall equal the respective Dollar Amount necessary so that, from and after such payments, each Buying Lenders Outstanding Credit Exposure shall equal such Buying Lenders Pro Rata Share (calculated based upon the
Effective Commitment Amounts) of the aggregate of the Outstanding Credit Exposure of all the Syndicated Global Lenders (Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure). Such amount shall be payable on the effective date of the increase in
the Aggregate Commitment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Global Administrative Agent. The Global Administrative Agent, in turn, shall wire transfer any such funds received to the Selling Lenders, in same day funds, for the
sole account of the Selling Lenders. Each Selling Lender hereby represents and warrants to each Buying Lender that such Selling Lender owns the Outstanding Credit Exposure being sold and assigned hereby for its own account and has not sold,
transferred or encumbered any or all of its interest in such Outstanding Credit Exposure, except for participations which will be reduced or extinguished (as applicable) upon payment to Selling Lender of an amount equal to the portion of the
Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure being sold by such Selling Lender. Each Buying Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for each Selling Lenders representations and warranties contained in the foregoing sentence, each such
Buying Lender is buying such interest without recourse to the Selling Lender and has entered into its Commitment and Acceptance with respect to such increase on the basis of its own independent investigation and has not relied upon, and will not
rely upon, any explicit or implicit written or oral representation, warranty or other statement of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent concerning the authorization, execution, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Harley hereby agrees to compensate each Selling Lender for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by such Selling Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any
Eurocurrency Rate Loan hereunder on the terms and in the manner as set forth in Section 3.4.

interest on that portion of any Syndicated Global Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Loan will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable. Each Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall bear
interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Advance.

shall be a Business Day); (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance; (iii) the Type of Advance selected; (iv) in the case of each CDOR Advance and Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto and (v) the
permitted currency applicable thereto. Each Syndicated Canadian Advance shall be a CDOR Advance denominated in Canadian Dollars, Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, Base Rate Advance denominated in Dollars or a
Canadian Prime Rate Advance denominated in Canadian Dollars. There shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Syndicated Canadian Advances at any time. Each Canadian Prime Rate Advance shall bear
interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the applicable Canadian Prime Rate, changing when and as such Canadian Prime Rate changes. Each Syndicated Canadian Advance
which is a Base Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the applicable Alternate Base Rate, changing when and as such Alternate Base Rate
changes, plus the Floating Rate Margin. Each Syndicated Canadian Advance which is a CDOR Advance shall be discounted over the relevant Interest Period at CDOR. Each Syndicated Canadian Advance which is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall bear
interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Advance.

unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the applicable ratings (in respect of determination of Status and the Guaranty Ratings Threshold Date) from such rating
agency shall be determined by reference to the rating(s) most recently in effect from such rating agency prior to such cessation.

2.8 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Conversion and Continuation of
Syndicated Global Advances, Syndicated Canadian Advances and Swing Line Loans.
(A) Right to Convert. The
applicable Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, Section 2.7 and this Section 2.8, to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of
Advance; provided that any conversion of any Fixed Rate Advance or Fixed Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
(B) Automatic Conversion and Continuation. Floating Rate Loans shall continue as Floating Rate Loans of the same Type unless and
until such Floating Rate Loans are converted into Fixed Rate Loans. Fixed Rate Loans shall continue as Fixed Rate Loans until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Fixed Rate Loans (other than Fixed Rate Loans
in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars) shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans unless the applicable Borrower shall have given the Global Administrative Agent notice in accordance with Section 2.8(D) requesting that, at
the end of such Interest Period, such Fixed Rate Loans continue as Fixed Rate Loans. Fixed Rate Loans, including, without limitation, Swing Line Loans, in a currency other than Dollars and Syndicated Canadian Loans (other than CDOR Loans which shall
be converted to Canadian Prime Rate Loans in accordance with the Syndicated Canadian Addendum) shall, upon the expiry of the then current Interest Period, automatically continue as Fixed Rate Loans in the same currency and of the same Type unless
the applicable Borrower notifies the Global Administrative Agent otherwise as provided herein.
(C) No Conversion
Post-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.8(A) or Section 2.8(B), no Syndicated Global Loan, Swing Line Loan or Syndicated Canadian Loan may be converted into or continued as a Fixed
Rate Loan except with the consent of the Required Lenders when any Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that, absent such consent, any such Syndicated Global Loan, Swing Line Loan or Syndicated Canadian Loan which is a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan in a currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall, upon the expiration of the relevant Interest Period then applicable thereto, bear interest for each subsequent day at a per annum rate equal to the rate applicable to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the relevant Borrower for such currency for an Interest Period of one month.
(D)
Conversion/Continuation Notice. The applicable Borrower shall give the Global Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a Conversion/Continuation Notice) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Loan into a Fixed Rate Loan or
continuation of a Fixed Rate Loan not later than the time prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation which is consistent with the requisite time and notice required in connection with Section 2.6(a), specifying:
(1) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such conversion or continuation; (2) the amount and Type of the Syndicated Global Loan, Swing Line Loan or Syndicated Canadian Loan to be converted or continued; and (3) the
amounts of Fixed Rate Loan(s) into which such Syndicated Global Loan, Swing Line Loan or Syndicated Canadian Loan is to be converted or continued, the applicable permitted currency and the duration of the Interest Periods applicable thereto. If no
such notice is given with respect to a Fixed Rate Loan (other than CDOR Loans) in a currency other than Dollars, the Interest Period applicable to the automatic continuation of such Loan shall be one month.
(E) Limitations on Conversions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the election of the applicable Borrowers under
this Section 2.8, (x) Eurocurrency Rate Advances in an Agreed Currency may be converted and/or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Advances only in the same Agreed
36
Currency, (y) U.K. Swing Line Loans in a U.K. Swing Line Currency may be converted and/or continued as U.K. Swing Line Loans only in the same U.K. Swing Line Currency and (z) Syndicated
Canadian Loans in a particular permitted currency may be converted and/or continued as Syndicated Canadian Loans only in the same currency.

the sum of the outstanding principal Dollar Amount of Syndicated Global Advances, Bid Rate Advances, Swing Line Loans and Syndicated Canadian Advances at such time. Each USD Swing Line Loan shall be in the applicable minimum amounts specified in
Schedule II (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Global Swing Line Lender) or an integral multiple thereof as specified in Schedule II (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Global Swing Line Lender) in excess
thereof, and all interest payable on the USD Swing Line Loans shall be payable to the Global Swing Line Lender for the account of the Global Swing Line Lender.
(b) Borrowing Notice; Interest on USD Swing Line Loans. The applicable U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Global

Global Advances or Bid Rate Advances. Any repayment or prepayment of a USD Swing Line Loan shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon and, subject to Section 2.9.1(a), shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 (or such lesser
amount as may be agreed to by the Global Swing Line Lender) and in increments of $100,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Global Swing Line Lender) in excess thereof or the full amount of such USD Swing Line Loan. If the applicable
U.S. Borrower at any time fails to repay a USD Swing Line Loan on the applicable date when due, such U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow a Syndicated Global Advance which shall be a Base Rate Advance under Section 2.1
as of such date equal in amount to the unpaid amount of such USD Swing Line Loan (notwithstanding the minimum amount of Base Rate Advances as provided in Section 2.7). The proceeds of any such Advance shall be
37
used to repay such USD Swing Line Loan. Unless the Global Administrative Agent upon the request of or with the consent of the Required Lenders shall have notified the Global Swing Line Lender
prior to such Global Swing Line Lender making any USD Swing Line Loan, that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have not then been satisfied, each Syndicated Global Lenders obligation to make Syndicated Global
Loans pursuant to Section 2.1 and this Section 2.9.1(d) to repay such USD Swing Line Loan shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including the inability of
the applicable U.S. Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV or the occurrence or continuance of a Default. In the event that any Syndicated Global Lender fails to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent of

until the Global Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Syndicated Global Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. In addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Syndicated Global Lender fails to make payment to the
Global Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.9.1(d), such Syndicated Global Lender shall be deemed, at the option of the Global Administrative Agent, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Global
Swing Line Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest in and participation in the applicable USD Swing Line Loan in the amount of the Syndicated Global Loan such Syndicated Global Lender was required to make pursuant to this
Section 2.9.1(d), and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Syndicated Global Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand
by the Global Administrative Agent and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied.

time fails to repay a Canadian Swing Line Loan made to such Borrower on the applicable date when due, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow a Syndicated Canadian Advance which shall be a Canadian Prime Rate Advance under
Section 2.2 as of such date equal in amount to the unpaid amount of such Canadian Swing Line Loan (notwithstanding the minimum amount of Canadian Prime Rate Advances as provided in Section 2.7). The proceeds of any such

Administrative Agent upon the request of or with the consent of the Required Lenders shall have notified the Global Swing Line Lender prior to such Global Swing Line Lender making any Canadian Swing Line Loan, that the applicable conditions

entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Syndicated Canadian Bank hereunder until the Global Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Syndicated Canadian Bank or
such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. In addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Syndicated Canadian Bank fails to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.9.2(e), such
Syndicated Canadian Bank shall be deemed, at the option of the Global Administrative Agent, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Global Swing Line
39
Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest in and participation in the applicable Canadian Swing Line Loan in the amount of the Syndicated Canadian Loan such Syndicated Canadian
Bank was required to make pursuant to this Section 2.9.2(e), and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Syndicated Canadian Bank together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during
the period commencing on the date of demand by the Global Administrative Agent and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied.
(f) Risk Participation by Syndicated Global Lenders in Canadian Swing Line Loans. If the applicable U.S. Borrower
at any time fails to repay a Canadian Swing Line Loan made to such Borrower on the applicable date when due, such Canadian Swing Line Loan shall be converted to and redenominated in Dollars equal to the unpaid Dollar Amount of such Canadian Swing
Line Loan determined as of the date of such conversion and such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow a Syndicated Global Advance which shall be a Base Rate Advance under Section 2.1 as of such date in such Dollar Amount
(notwithstanding the minimum amount of Base Rate Advances as provided in Section 2.7). The proceeds of any such Advance shall be used to repay such Canadian Swing Line Loan. Each Syndicated Global Lenders obligation to make
Syndicated Global Loans pursuant to Section 2.1 and this Section 2.9.2(f) to repay such Canadian Swing Line Loan shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances,
including the inability of the applicable Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV or the occurrence or continuance of a Default. In the event that any Syndicated Global Lender fails to make payment to the Global
Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.9.2(f), the Global Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Syndicated
Global Lender hereunder until the Global Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Syndicated Global Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. In addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Syndicated Global Lender
fails to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.9.2(f), such Syndicated Global Lender shall be deemed, at the option of the Global Administrative Agent, to have unconditionally and
irrevocably purchased from the Global Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest in and participation in the applicable Canadian Swing Line Loan in the amount of the Syndicated Global Loan such Syndicated Global Lender
was required to make pursuant to this Section 2.9.2(f), and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Syndicated Global Lender together with interest thereon at (1) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of
Loans denominated in Dollars and (2) the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate for Canadian Dollars in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, in each case for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand by the Global
Administrative Agent and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied.

(a) Amount of U.K. Swing Line Loans. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Sections 4.1 and 4.2, from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, the Global Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to make U.K. Swing Line Loans in one or more U.K. Swing Line Currencies to the Global Borrowers from time to time in a Dollar Amount not to exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the lesser of (i) the U.K. Swing Line
Commitment at such time and (ii) the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment exceeds the sum of the outstanding principal Dollar Amount of Syndicated Global Advances, Bid Rate Advances, Swing Line Loans and Syndicated Canadian Advances at such
time. Each U.K. Swing Line Loan shall be in the applicable minimum amounts specified in Schedule II (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Global Swing Line Lender) or an integral multiple thereof as specified in Schedule II
(or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Global Swing Line Lender) in excess thereof, and all interest payable on the U.K. Swing Line Loans shall be payable to the Global Swing Line Lender for the account of the Global Swing Line Lender. In
no event shall the number of U.K. Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time be greater than five (5).
40
(b) Borrowing Notice; Interest on U.K. Swing Line Loans. The relevant
Global Borrower shall deliver to the Global Administrative Agent and the Global Swing Line Lender a notice (a U.K. Swing Line Borrowing Notice) signed by it not later than the applicable time and to the applicable location
described in Schedule II specifying (i) the applicable Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested U.K. Swing Line Loan, (iii) the U.K. Swing Line Currency in which such Loan is
requested and (iv) the initial Interest Period in connection therewith. All of the U.K. Swing Line Loans shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period not in excess of thirty (30) days.
(c) Making of U.K. Swing Line Loans. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (London time) on the applicable Borrowing Date, the
Global Swing Line Lender shall make available its U.K. Swing Line Loan in funds in the applicable U.K. Swing Line Currency immediately available at the applicable location described in Schedule II to the relevant Global Borrower.
(d) Repayment of U.K. Swing Line Loans. Each U.K. Swing Line Loan shall be paid in full by the relevant Global
Borrower on or before the date that is the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such U.K. Swing Line Loan and shall be prepaid if required in connection with the provisions of Section 2.3(B)(iii). Outstanding U.K. Swing Line
Loans may be repaid from the proceeds of Syndicated Global Advances. Any repayment or prepayment of a U.K. Swing Line Loan shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon and, subject to Section 2.9.3(a), shall be in the minimum amount
of $50,000 or the Equivalent Amount in the relevant U.K. Swing Line Currency (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Global Swing Line Lender) and in increments of $50,000 or the Equivalent Amount in the relevant U.K. Swing Line Currency
(or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Global Swing Line Lender) in excess thereof or the full amount of such U.K. Swing Line Loan. Any prepayment or repayment of a U.K. Swing Line Loan other than at the end of the applicable Interest
Period shall be for the full amount thereof and shall be accompanied by all amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4. If any Global Borrower at any time fails to repay a U.K. Swing Line Loan on the applicable date when due, such Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to borrow a Syndicated Global Advance which shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Advance in the applicable Agreed Currency under Section 2.1 as of such date equal in amount to the unpaid amount of such U.K. Swing
Line Loan (notwithstanding the minimum amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances). The proceeds of any such Advance shall be used to repay such U.K. Swing Line Loan. Unless the Global Administrative Agent upon the request of or with the consent of the
Required Lenders shall have notified the Global Swing Line Lender prior to such Global Swing Line Lender making any U.K. Swing Line Loan that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have not then been satisfied, each
Syndicated Global Lenders obligation to make Syndicated Global Loans pursuant to Section 2.1 and this Section 2.9.3(d) to repay such U.K. Swing Line Loan shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and
shall not be affected by any circumstances, including the inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV or the occurrence or continuance of a Default. In the event that any Syndicated Global Lender
fails to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.9.3(d), the Global Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest
otherwise payable to such Syndicated Global Lender hereunder until the Global Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Syndicated Global Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. In addition to the foregoing, if for any
reason any Syndicated Global Lender fails to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.9.3(d), such Syndicated Global Lender shall be deemed, at the option of the Global Administrative Agent,
to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Global Swing Line Lender, without recourse or
41
warranty, an undivided interest in and participation in the applicable U.K. Swing Line Loan in the amount of the Syndicated Global Loan such Syndicated Global Lender was required to make pursuant
to this Section 2.9.3(d), and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Syndicated Global Lender together with interest thereon at (1) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars and
(2) the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in any other U.K. Swing Line Currency, in each case for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand by the Global Administrative Agent and ending on the
date such obligation is fully satisfied.
2.10 The Bid Rate Advances. (a) Each Syndicated Global Lender severally
agrees that, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, any Global Borrower may request and receive Bid Rate Advances in Dollars, euro or any Eligible Currency under this Section 2.10 from time to time on any Business Day
during the period from the date hereof until the date occurring 30 days prior to the Termination Date in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that, following the making of each Bid Rate Advance, the aggregate Dollar Amount of
(i) the Advances, (ii) the Swing Line Loans and (iii) the Syndicated Canadian Loans then outstanding shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment.
(b) The procedures for the solicitation and acceptance of Bid Rate Loans are set forth below:
(i) The applicable Global Borrower may request a Bid Rate Advance under this Section 2.10(b) by giving the
Global Administrative Agent irrevocable notice at the office and location specified by the Global Administrative Agent, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Global Administrative Agent (a Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice),

Absolute Rate Auction, the date occurring thirty days, and in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction, the date occurring one month after the date of the related Bid Rate Advance or later than, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the earlier of the
day occurring 180 days after the date of such Bid Rate Advance and the Termination Date, and in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction, the earlier of the day occurring six months after the date of such Bid Rate Advance and the Termination Date), the
interest payment date or dates relating thereto, and any other terms to be applicable to such Bid Rate Advance, not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) (A) one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Bid Rate Advance, if the applicable
Global Borrower shall specify in the Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice that the rates of interest to be offered by the Syndicated Global Lenders shall be absolute rates per annum (such type of solicitation being an Absolute Rate

Syndicated Global Lenders shall be based on the Eurocurrency Base Rate with respect to the applicable currency (such type of solicitation being an Indexed Rate Auction). The Global Administrative Agent shall, promptly following
its receipt of a Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice under this Section 2.10(b), notify each Syndicated Global Lender of such request by sending such Syndicated Global Lender a copy of such Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice.
(ii) Each Syndicated Global Lender may, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or
more Bid Rate Loans to the applicable Global Borrower as part of such proposed Bid Rate Advance at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Syndicated Global Lender in its sole discretion, by notifying the Global Administrative Agent (which
shall give prompt notice thereof to the applicable Global Borrower), before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (or if such Syndicated Global Lender is the Global Administrative Agent, before 10:45 a.m. (New York time)) (A) on the date of such proposed
Bid Rate Advance, in the case of an Absolute
42
Rate Auction, and (B) four Business Days before the date of such proposed Bid Rate Advance, in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction of the minimum amount and maximum amount of each Bid Rate
Loan which such Syndicated Global Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed Bid Rate Advance (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.10(a), exceed such Syndicated Global Lenders
Commitment), the rate or rates of interest, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, or the spread or spreads with respect to the Eurocurrency Base Rate, in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction, therefor and such Syndicated Global Lenders
Lending Installation with respect to such Bid Rate Loan.
(iii) The applicable Global Borrower shall, in turn,
before (A) 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of such proposed Bid Rate Advance, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, and (B) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three Business Days before the date of such proposed Bid Rate Advance, in the

(x) cancel such Bid Rate Advance by giving
the Global Administrative Agent notice to that effect; or
(y) accept, subject to Section 2.10(d),
one or more of the offers made by any Syndicated Global Lender or Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii), in its sole discretion, by giving notice to the Global Administrative Agent of the amount of each Bid Rate Loan
(which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to the applicable Global Borrower by the Global Administrative Agent on behalf of such Syndicated Global Lender for such Bid
Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii)) to be made by each Syndicated Global Lender as part of such Bid Rate Advance, and reject any remaining offers made by Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii) by
giving the Global Administrative Agent notice to that effect.
(iv) If the applicable Global Borrower notifies
the Global Administrative Agent that such Bid Rate Advance is canceled pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii)(x), the Global Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Syndicated Global Lenders and such Bid Rate Advance shall
not be made.
(v) If the applicable Global Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Syndicated
Global Lender or Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii)(y), the Global Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Syndicated Global Lender that has made an offer as described in
Section 2.10(b)(ii) of the date, and aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Advance and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Syndicated Global Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii) have been accepted by the applicable
Global Borrower and (B) each Syndicated Global Lender that is to make a Bid Rate Loan as part of such Bid Rate Advance, of the amount of each Bid Rate Loan to be made by such Syndicated Global Lender as part of such Bid Rate Advance. Each
Syndicated Global Lender that is to make a Bid Rate Loan as part of such Bid Rate Advance shall, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such Bid Rate Advance specified in the notice received from the Global Administrative Agent
pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Lending Installation to the Global Administrative Agent at the relevant Eurocurrency Payment Office such Syndicated Global Lenders portion of
such Bid Rate Advance, in same day funds in the currency specified in the applicable Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV and after receipt by the Global Administrative Agent
of such funds, the Global Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable
43
Global Borrower at the Global Administrative Agents aforesaid address. Promptly after each Bid Rate Advance, the Global Administrative Agent will notify each Syndicated Global Lender of the
amount of such Bid Rate Advance, the consequent Bid Rate Reduction and the dates upon which such Bid Rate Reduction commenced and will terminate.
(vi) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.10(b), the applicable Global Borrower may elect at
its own discretion to assume the responsibilities of the Global Administrative Agent in connection with the solicitation and acceptance of Bid Rate Loans as described in this section. In the event that the applicable Global Borrower makes the
election described in this subsection, all notices to be given by such Borrower to the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by such Borrower directly to the Global Administrative Agent and the
Syndicated Global Lenders, all notices to be given by the Global Administrative Agent to the Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by such Borrower to the Syndicated Global Lenders, and all notices to
be given by the Syndicated Global Lenders to the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by the Syndicated Global Lenders to such Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent. In addition, any fee
payable to the Global Administrative Agent in connection with the Bid Rate Loans in connection with such Bid Rate Loans solicited and accepted by any Global Borrower pursuant to this clause (vi) is hereby waived.
(c) Each Bid Rate Advance shall be in an aggregate amount not less than the Equivalent Amount of $10,000,000 in the
applicable currency or an integral multiple of approximately $1,000,000 in the applicable currency in excess thereof, and, following the making of each Bid Rate Advance, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the
proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.10(a).
(d) Each acceptance by the applicable Global
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii)(y) of the offers made in response to a Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice shall be treated as an acceptance of such offers in ascending order of the rates or margins, as applicable, at which the
same were made but if, as a result thereof, two or more offers at the same such rate or margin would be partially accepted, then the amounts of the Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be treated as being the amounts
which bear the same proportion to one another as the respective amounts of the Bid Rate Loans so offered bear to one another but, in each case, rounded as the Global Administrative Agent (or the applicable Global Borrower in the event such Borrower
runs the bid rate process under clause (b)(vi) above) may consider necessary to ensure that the Equivalent Amount of each such Bid Rate Loan is approximately $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
(e) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.10, each Global Borrower may from time
to time borrow under this Section 2.10, repay pursuant to Section 2.10(f), and reborrow under this Section 2.10.
(f) The applicable Global Borrower shall repay to the Global Administrative Agent, for the account of each Syndicated
Global Lender which has made a Bid Rate Loan to it, on the maturity date of such Bid Rate Loan (such maturity date being that specified by such Borrower for repayment of such Bid Rate Loan in the related Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice), or, if
earlier, the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, the then unpaid principal amount of such Bid Rate Loan. No Borrower shall have the right to prepay any principal amount of any Bid Rate Loan without the consent of the
applicable Syndicated Global Lender.
44
(g) The applicable Global Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Bid Rate Loan made to it, from the date of such Bid Rate Loan to the date the principal amount of such Bid Rate Loan is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Bid Rate Loan specified by the Syndicated Global Lender
making such Bid Rate Loan in the related notice submitted by such Syndicated Global Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii), payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by such Borrower for such Bid Rate Loan in the related
Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice and on any date on which such Bid Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise. In the event the term of any Bid Rate Loan shall be longer than three months, interest thereon shall be payable not less
frequently than once each three-month period during such term. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice, interest on Bid Rate Advances shall be calculated (a) for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
365-day year or, when appropriate, 366-day year for Bid Rate Advances made pursuant to an Indexed Rate Auction and (b) for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year for Bid Rate Advances made pursuant to an Absolute Rate Auction.
(h) Except as provided in clause (b)(vi) above, in connection with each Bid Rate Loan, the applicable
Global Borrower shall pay to the Global Administrative Agent the fee with respect thereto set forth in the relevant fee letter dated as of even date herewith between the Borrowers, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and the Global Administrative Agent.
2.11 Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any principal of or interest on any
Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the Global Administrative Agent may with the consent, and shall upon the request, of the Required
Lenders require that such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided
herein or (ii) in the case of any other amount (other than as set forth in the following clause (iii)), 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances as provided herein or (iii) in the case of any Syndicated Canadian Loan or Canadian
Swing Line Loan, 2% plus the rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans.
2.12 Method of Payment. (i) All
payments of principal, interest, and fees hereunder to the Global Administrative Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (a) at the Global Administrative Agents office at the applicable location at which such
Advance was made in immediately available funds with respect to Advances denominated in Dollars and (b) in the Global Administrative Agents applicable Eurocurrency Payment Office in immediately available funds with respect to any Advance
denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, in each case, or at any other Lending Installation of the Global Administrative Agent specified in writing (by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day before the date when due) by the Global
Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower, by 12:00 noon local time in New York, New York with respect to Advances denominated in Dollars and 12:00 noon local time in the Global Administrative Agents Eurocurrency Payment Office with
respect to Advances denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars on the date when due and shall be made ratably among the relevant Lenders (unless such amount is not to be shared ratably in accordance with the terms hereof). Each Advance
shall be repaid or prepaid in the currency in which it was made (the Advanced Currency) in the amount borrowed and interest payable thereon shall be paid in such Advanced Currency. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the
obligation of any Borrower in respect of any Advance shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any currency other than the Advanced Currency or at another location other than the location designated by the Global Administrative Agent, whether
pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into the Advanced Currency and transfer to the relevant Lenders under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of the Advanced Currency due under
the Loan Documents. In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of the Advanced Currency due under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall have an
independent cause of action against the applicable Borrower(s) for the currency deficit. Each payment delivered to the Global Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by
45
the Global Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds which the Global Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending
Installation specified in a notice received by the Global Administrative Agent from such Lender.
(ii) All payments to be made
by the applicable Borrowers hereunder in respect of any Swing Line Loans and Syndicated Canadian Loans shall be made in the currencies in which such Loans are denominated and in funds immediately available, at the Global Administrative Agents
office or Global Swing Line Lenders office (as applicable) office from which such Loan was made not later than 12:00 noon (local time) on the date on which such payment shall become due.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Advance or Loan in any currency other than
Dollars or euro, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that different types of such currency (the New Currency) are introduced and the type of currency in
which the Advance was made (the Original Currency) no longer exists or the applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent or the Global Swing Line Lender, as applicable, in such Original
Currency, then all payments to be made by the applicable Borrower hereunder in such currency shall be made in such amount and such type of the New Currency or Dollars as shall be equivalent to the amount of such payment otherwise due hereunder in
the Original Currency, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if,
after the making of any Advance or Loan in any currency other than Dollars or euro, any applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent or the Global Swing Line Lender, as applicable, in the type of currency in
which such Advance or Loan was made because of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulation, then such Advance or Loan shall instead be repaid when due in Dollars in a principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date
of repayment) of such Advance.
2.13 Notes, Telephonic Notices. Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it each
be evidenced by the applicable Notes to evidence such Lenders Loans. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note(s) for such Loans payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, such
Loans evidenced by such Note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more Notes, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation. Each Borrower authorizes the applicable
Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent to extend Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons that the Global Administrative Agent or Lender in good faith
believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Global Administrative Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer, if such confirmation is requested by the Global Administrative
Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Global Administrative Agent and Lenders, (i) the telephonic notice shall govern absent manifest error and
(ii) the Global Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Authorizing Officer who provided such confirmation of such difference.
2.14 Promise to Pay; Interest and Fees; Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis; Loan Accounts.
(A) Promise to Pay. Each Borrower unconditionally promises to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan made to it and all
other Obligations incurred by it, and to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
46
(B) Interest Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Loan, each
Canadian Prime Rate Loan and USD Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, with respect to any USD Swing Line
Loans on any date on which a USD Swing Line Loan is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Loan (other than CDOR Loans which are governed by the Syndicated Canadian Addendum) shall be payable on the
last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Loan having an Interest Period longer than three months shall
also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued on each Bid Rate Loan shall be payable as provided in Section 2.10(g). Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other
Obligations shall be payable in arrears (i) upon repayment thereof in full, (ii) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (iii) if not
theretofore paid in full, on demand, commencing on the first such day following the date such Obligation became payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(C) Fees. The relevant Borrowers shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, pay to the Global Administrative Agent,
for the account of each relevant Lender in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Shares (as appropriate), on arrangements satisfactory to Harley and the Global Administrative Agent, a commitment fee accruing at the
rate of the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate per annum from and after the date hereof until the Termination Date on the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Commitment during a given calendar quarter calculated on the last Business Day of such
calendar quarter. For purposes of calculating the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Commitment, outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not be considered usage of the Aggregate Commitment. All such commitment fees payable under this clause
(C) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December occurring after the date hereof and, in addition, on the Termination Date.
(D) Interest and Fee Basis. (i) Interest on all Loans (other than Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling,
Base Rate Loans with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate and USD Swing Line Loans), including all Syndicated Canadian Loans and all fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year (except as provided otherwise in the Syndicated Canadian Addendum). Interest on (a) Base Rate Loans with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate and USD Swing Line Loans and
(b) Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling and Syndicated Canadian Loans shall in each case be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year or, when appropriate, 366-day year; provided that Stamping
Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Obligation is incurred but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received by the times and in the
offices required under Section 2.12. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan or any payment of any other Obligations shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
(ii) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (a) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (1) the applicable rate based on a year
of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (2) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (3) divided by 360 or 365, as the case
may be, (b) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (c) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and are not effective
rates or yields.
47
(E) Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts (a Loan Account) evidencing the Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time hereunder.
(F) Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, unless any Borrower objects to information contained in the Register and each Loan Account within thirty (30) days of such Borrowers receipt of such information.
2.15 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Aggregate Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof,
the Global Administrative Agent will notify each relevant Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Continuation/Conversion Notice and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Global Administrative
Agent will notify each relevant Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate.
2.16 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation reasonably selected by such Lender and may
change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and any Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written
or facsimile notice to the Global Administrative Agent and Harley, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.
2.17 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Global Administrative Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the
Global Administrative Agent prior to the date (or time, in the case of a Floating Rate Loan) on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the
case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Global Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Global Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has
been made. The Global Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made
such payment to the Global Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Global Administrative Agent, repay to the Global Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of
each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Global Administrative Agent until the date the Global Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment
by a Lender (other than in respect of any Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars), the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by a Lender in respect of any Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, the sum of the
Canadian Prime Rate plus two percent (2%), or (iii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan (including without limitation pursuant to Section 2.11 if applicable).
2.18 Termination Date. This Agreement shall be effective until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the termination of this
Agreement on the Termination Date, until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity and reimbursement obligations, to the extent such obligations have not accrued) shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements
under the Loan Documents among the Borrowers and the Lenders shall have been terminated, all of the rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive.
48
2.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it
is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder or under the Syndicated Canadian Addendum in the currency expressed to be payable herein or under the Syndicated Canadian Addendum (the specified currency) into another
currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Global Administrative Agent could purchase the
specified currency with such other currency at the Global Administrative Agents main office in New York, New York on the Business Day preceding that on which the final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in
respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Global Administrative hereunder or under the Syndicated Canadian Addendum shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the
Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Global Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Global Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with
normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts
shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 11.2, such Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such
Borrower.
2.20 Termination as Borrower. So long as the principal of and interest on any Loans or Advances made to any
Foreign Borrower under this Agreement or the Syndicated Canadian Addendum shall have been repaid or paid in full and all other obligations of such Foreign Borrower under this Agreement and the Syndicated Canadian Addendum shall have been fully
performed, Harley may, by not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice to the Global Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate such Foreign Borrowers rights and obligations as a
Borrower.
ARTICLE III CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
3.1 Yield Protection. If any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) adopted after the date of this Agreement and having general applicability to all banks within the jurisdiction in which such Lender operates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of and phasing
in of capital requirements or other regulations or guidelines passed prior to the date of this Agreement), or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof, or the
compliance of any Lender therewith (any of the foregoing, a Change in Law),
(i) subjects
any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from any Borrower (excluding Excluded Taxes), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender in respect of its Loans or
other amounts due it hereunder; provided, that this clause (i) shall not apply with respect to any Taxes to which Section 3.5 applies, or
49
(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans, or
(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending
Installation of making, funding or maintaining the Fixed Rate Loans or reduces any amount received by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with Fixed Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending
Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Loans held or interest or fee received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Loans or to reduce
any amount received under this Agreement, then, within 15 days after receipt by the relevant Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 3.6, such Borrower shall pay such Lender that portion of such increased expense
incurred or reduction in an amount received which such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans and its Commitment or Syndicated Canadian Commitment.
3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines (i) the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as defined below), and (ii) such increase in capital will result in an increase in
the cost to such Lender of maintaining its Loans or its obligation to make Loans hereunder, then, within 15 days after receipt by the relevant Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 3.6, such Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans or its obligation to make Loans hereunder
(after taking into account such Lenders policies as to capital adequacy). Change means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as defined below) excluding, for
the avoidance of doubt, the effect of any phasing in of such Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or any other capital requirements, in each case passed prior to the date hereof, or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement and having general applicability to all banks and financial institutions within the
jurisdiction in which such Lender operates which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities
outside the United States or Canada (if applicable) implementing the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Entitled International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, including transition
rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement and including, for the avoidance of doubt, the recommendations set out in the report entitled Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurement
and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework, which was published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on June 26, 2004 and the European Commission proposal (COM (2004) 486) of July 14, 2004.
3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. (a) If (i) any Lender determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans
at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or (ii) the Required Lenders with respect to Fixed Rate Advances or the Global Swing Line Lender with
respect to Swing Line Loans determine that (x) deposits of a type, currency and maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances or Swing Line Loans, as
50
applicable, are not available or (y) the interest rate applicable to a Fixed Rate Advance or Swing Line Loan does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such a Fixed Rate
Advance or Swing Line Loans, then the Global Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Fixed Rate Advances or such Swing Line Loans of the affected Type or in the affected currency and, in the case of any occurrence set forth in clause
(i), require any affected Fixed Rate Advances or Swing Line Loans to be repaid or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, at the option of the applicable U.S. Borrower, converted to Base Rate Advances or, in the case of any Loans to the
Canadian Borrower, at the option of the Canadian Borrower, converted to Canadian Prime Rate Advances.
(b) If the Index is
unavailable, (i) the Global Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such unavailability, (ii) the Borrowers and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon an alternative method for establishing the
Applicable Margin, (iii) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Floating Rate Advance denominated in Dollars, and (iv) the obligation of the Lenders
to make, or to convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the earlier of the time that (x) the Global Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the Index is available or (y) the
Borrowers and the Lenders agree on an alternative method for establishing the Applicable Margin; provided that (A) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances and Floating Rate Advances during the period of the first 60 days after the
notification by the Global Administrative Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders of the unavailability of the Index and an alternative method for determining the Applicable Margin has not been agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Lenders, the
Applicable Margin and Floating Rate Margin shall be based on an Applicable Margin and Floating Rate Margin, respectively, based on the Index in effect on the day immediately prior to the unavailability of the Index and (B) after such 60-day
period if the Index remains unavailable and an alternative method for determining the Applicable Margin has not been agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Lenders, the Applicable Margin and the Floating Rate Margin, as calculated pursuant to the
foregoing clause (A), shall be increased by (i) 0.25% on the first date following the expiration of such 60-day period (the Rate Increase Date) and (ii) an additional 0.25% on each succeeding 90-day anniversary of
the Rate Increase Date, in each case so long as the Index remains unavailable and an alternative method for determining the Applicable Margin has not been agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Lenders.
3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Fixed Rate Advance, Fixed Rate Swing Line Loan or Bid Rate Advance occurs on a
date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of a Fixed Rate Advance or Fixed Rate Swing Line Loans, or the applicable maturity date in the case of a Bid Rate Advance, whether because of acceleration, prepayment,
assignment (to the extent such assignment is effected pursuant to Section 3.8) or otherwise, or a Fixed Rate Advance, Fixed Rate Swing Line Loan or Bid Rate Advance is not made or continued on the date specified by any Borrower for any
reason other than default by the Lenders, Harley and such Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost (including lost profits) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or
employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Fixed Rate Advance, Fixed Rate Swing Line Loan or Bid Rate Advance, as the case may be.
3.5 Taxes. (i) Unless such deduction is required by applicable law, all payments by any Borrower or any Guarantor to or for
the account of any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, then, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 3.5, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Global Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Borrower or
51
Guarantor, as applicable, shall make such deductions, (c) such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with
applicable law and (d) such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall furnish to the Global Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(ii) In addition, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 3.5, each Borrower and Guarantor hereby agrees to
pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder by the relevant Borrower or Guarantor to the relevant Lender, or under any Note but
excluding any such taxes, charges or levies in respect of any assignment, sale or transfer or participation (but excluding any participations and transfers pursuant to Section 2.2(E)) by any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent or
from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (Other Taxes).
(iii) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby agree to indemnify the Global Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes
or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that each Borrower and Guarantor shall not be required to so indemnify to the extent any relevant amount is actually compensated for under any other provision of this Agreement.
Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
(iv) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any
Syndicated Global Lender, such Lender to the extent it is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a Non-U.S. Lender) agrees that it will deliver to each of Harley, each Guarantor
and the Global Administrative Agent (1) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes or (2) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is fiscally transparent, a copy of IRS Form W-8IMY together with the applicable accompanying forms, W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an
exemption from United States backup withholding tax (such certificate, an Exemption Certificate). Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of Harley and the Global Administrative Agent (i) two renewals or
additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (ii) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional
forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by Harley, any Guarantor or the Global Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under
this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would
otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises Harley, the Guarantors and the Global
Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
(v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide Harley or the Guarantors with an appropriate form or Exemption
Certificate pursuant to clause (iv) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date
on which a form or Exemption Certificate originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided
that,
52
should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or Exemption Certificate
required under clause (iv), above, Harley or the Guarantors shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.
(vi) [Reserved]
(vii) [Reserved]
(viii) [Reserved]
(ix) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any
Syndicated Canadian Bank or the Global Swing Line Lender in respect of Canadian Swing Line Loans to the Canadian Borrower, such Syndicated Canadian Bank or Global Swing Line Lender to the extent it is neither incorporated under the laws of a
jurisdiction in Canada nor deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each a Non-Canadian Lender) agrees that it will deliver to each of the Canadian Borrower and the Global
Administrative Agent a certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Non-Canadian Lender to the effect that such Non-Canadian Lender is capable under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty or under the provisions of applicable law of
receiving, and enabling the Canadian Borrower under the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) to make, payments of interest or fees with respect to the Syndicated Canadian Loans and Canadian Swing Line Loans to the Canadian Borrower
without deduction or withholding of income tax (such certificate, a Canadian Exemption Certificate). Each Non-Canadian Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Canadian Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent a
replacement certificate of a duly authorized officer of such Non-Canadian Lender before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the Canadian Exemption Certificate so delivered by it. All certificates described in the
preceding sentences shall certify that such Non-Canadian Lender is entitled to receive interest or fees under this Agreement or the Syndicated Canadian Addendum without deduction or withholding of any applicable income taxes, unless an event
(including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such certificates inapplicable or which would prevent such Non-Canadian
Lender from duly completing and delivering any such certificate with respect to it and such Non-Canadian Lender advises the Canadian Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or
withholding of applicable income tax.
(x) For any period during which a Non-Canadian Lender has failed to provide the
Canadian Borrower with an appropriate Canadian Exemption Certificate as required pursuant to clause (ix) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a Canadian Exemption Certificate originally was required to be provided), such Non-Canadian Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this
Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the applicable jurisdiction in Canada; provided that, should a Non-Canadian Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a Canadian Exemption Certificate required under clause (ix), above, the Canadian Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-Canadian Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-Canadian Lender to
recover such Taxes. In addition, neither any Syndicated Canadian Bank nor the Global Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the applicable jurisdiction in Canada
other than indemnity obligations under this Section 3.5 arising out of a change after the Closing Date in any applicable treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority.
53
(xi) If a Borrower or Guarantor pays an amount under this Section 3.5, or is
required to make a deduction or withholding in relation to a payment hereunder or under any Note and account for the same to the relevant tax authority, which gives or may give rise to a Tax Credit for the recipient of that payment (the
Recipient), the Recipient shall, promptly upon utilisation or receipt of such Tax Credit, pay an amount to such Borrower or the relevant Guarantor which will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would
have been in had the original amount paid under this Section 3.5 (or withheld or deducted pursuant to applicable law) not been required to have been made, withheld or deducted; provided that nothing in this clause
(xi) shall require any Lender to make available its tax return (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential).
(xii) If (i) a Lender or the Global Administrative Agent assigns, transfers or sells all or any portion of its rights and/or
delegates all or any portion of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (but excluding any participations and other transfers pursuant to Section 2.2(E)) or changes its Lending Installation for the purposes of
this Agreement, and (ii) as a direct result of circumstances existing at the date of the assignment, transfer, sale, delegation or change, any Borrower or Guarantor would be obliged to pay any incremental amount under this
Section 3.5, then the transferee or Lender acting through its new Lending Installation shall only be entitled to receive payment under this Section 3.5 to the same extent that the previous Lender or the Lender acting through
its previous Lending Installation would have been entitled if no such transaction had taken place. If a Lender sells a participation in all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the participant
shall only be entitled to receive payment under this Section 3.5 to the extent that the Lender selling the participation would have been entitled if no such participation had taken place. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else
contained in this Section 3.5, in the event of a participation or transfer pursuant to Section 2.2(E), the participant shall be entitled to the indemnification under Sections 3.5(i) and 3.5(iii) in respect of
any payments received pursuant to such participation or transfer.
3.6 Mitigation; Lender Statements; Survival of
Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the relevant Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender under Sections
3.1 and 3.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender requiring compensation pursuant to this Article
III shall notify the relevant Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent in writing of any Change, law, policy, rule, guideline or directive giving rise to such demand for compensation; provided that the relevant Borrower or Guarantor shall
not be required to pay such amounts to the extent such amounts accrued prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of such notice; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such amounts are retroactive, then such 180-day
period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Any demand for compensation pursuant to this Article III shall be in writing and shall state the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2,
3.4 or 3.5 and shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount. Such written demand shall be rebuttably presumed correct for all purposes. Determination of amounts payable under such
Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining
the applicable fixed rate of interest with respect to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. The obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of
the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
3.7 Non-U.S. Reserve Costs or Fees. If, any law or any governmental
or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive of any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America or any subdivision thereof and outside of England and Wales or any subdivision thereof (whether or not having the
force of law), imposes or deems applicable any reserve requirement against or fee with respect to assets
54
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than any Tax), and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
such Lender or applicable Lending Installation of making or maintaining its Loans to any Foreign Borrower or its Commitment, Swing Line Commitment or Syndicated Canadian Commitment to any Borrower or to reduce the return received by such Lender or
applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Loans to any Foreign Borrower or Commitment, Swing Line Commitment or Syndicated Canadian Commitment to any Foreign Borrower, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, such Foreign
Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
3.8 Replacement of Affected Lenders. If, any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.7,
or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 3.5, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then Harley may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Global Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.3), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any
outstanding Bid Rate Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) in the case of an assignment to an assignee which is
not a Lender, Harley shall have received the prior written consent of the Global Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans (other than Bid Rate Loans) and participations in the relevant Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or Harley (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.7 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 3.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments with respect to the assignee Lender.

ARTICLE VIII ACCELERATION, DEFAULTING LENDERS; WAIVERS,
AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
8.1 Remedies.
(a) Termination of Commitments; Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.1(e) occurs with
respect to any Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans (including without limitation Syndicated Canadian Loans) hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election
or action on the part of the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders may (i) terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans (including without limitation Syndicated Canadian Loans)
hereunder or (ii) declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, and upon any declaration under clause (ii), the Commitments shall terminate and the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower expressly waives.
(b) Rescission. If, at any
time after termination of the Lenders obligations to make Loans but before acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the relevant Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans which shall
have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Defaults and Unmatured Defaults (other than nonpayment of
principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 8.3, then upon the written consent of the Required Lenders and written notice to Harley, the
termination of Lenders respective obligations to make Loans or the aforesaid acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or Unmatured Default or impair any right or
remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Required Lenders; they are not intended to benefit any Borrower and do not give any
Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any termination of the aforesaid obligations of the Lenders or any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.
8.2 Defaulting Lender. In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share or Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Share (as
applicable) of any Syndicated Global Advance or Syndicated Canadian Advance requested or deemed requested by the applicable Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such Advance being
hereinafter referred to as a Non Pro Rata Loan) or any Lender otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender, until the earlier of
69
such Lenders cure of such failure and the termination of the Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Global Administrative Agent by any Borrower and otherwise
required to be applied to such Lenders share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced to the applicable Borrower by the Global Administrative Agent (Cure Loans) on behalf of such
Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:
(i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 shall apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of
Obligations and shall not affect the conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to Section 2.8;
(ii) any Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Global
Advance or Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Canadian Advance at such time as an amount equal to such Defaulting Lenders original Pro Rata Share or Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Share (as applicable) of the requested
principal portion of such Advance is fully funded to the applicable Borrower, whether made by such Defaulting Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this Section 8.2, and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto
has been repaid, converted or continued;
(iii) amounts advanced to any Borrower to cure, in full or in part,
any such Defaulting Lenders failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Global Advance or Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Canadian Advance shall be redenominated in the relevant currency and shall bear interest at
the rate applicable to Syndicated Global Loans which are Base Rate Loans or Syndicated Canadian Loans which are Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable), in effect from time to time, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as
if they were Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable);
(iv) regardless of whether or not a
Default has occurred or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of any Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement, would be applied to the outstanding
Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be applied first, ratably to all Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable) constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate
Loans (as applicable) other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, third, ratably to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable) constituting Cure Loans;
(v) for so long as and until the earlier of any such Defaulting Lenders cure of all matters that caused such Lender
to be a Defaulting Lender and the termination of the Commitments or Syndicated Canadian Commitments (as applicable), (1) the term Required Lenders for purposes of this Agreement shall mean Lenders (excluding all Defaulting Lenders)
whose Pro Rata Shares represent greater than fifty-one percent (51%) of the aggregate Pro Rata Shares of such Lenders and (2) the term Required Syndicated Canadian Banks for purposes of this Agreement shall mean Syndicated
Canadian Banks (excluding all Defaulting Lenders) whose Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Shares represent greater than fifty-one percent (51%) of the aggregate Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Shares of such Syndicated Canadian Banks;
(vi) for so long as and until any such Defaulting Lenders cure of all matters that caused such Lender to be a
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any fees with respect to its Commitment or Syndicated Canadian Commitment (as applicable), which fees shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders and shall
be allocated among such Lenders ratably based upon their relative Commitments or Syndicated Canadian Commitments (as applicable);
70
(vii) for so long as and until any such Defaulting
Lenders cure of all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, if any Swing Line Exposure exists at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Global
Administrative Agent prepay such Swing Line Exposure or, if agreed by the Global Swing Line Lender, cash collateralize the Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender on terms satisfactory to the Global Swing Line Lender; and
(viii) for so long as and until any such Defaulting Lenders cure of all matters that caused such Lender to be a
Defaulting Lender, the Global Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan.
8.3 Amendments.
Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Global Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding
or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that (a) no such supplemental agreement shall,
without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby:
(i) postpone or extend the Termination Date or
any other date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (except with respect to a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to
Section 2.11 hereof);
(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loans, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or other amounts payable hereunder;
(iii) reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other percentage or number of Lenders specified to be the applicable percentage or number in this Agreement to act on specified matters or amend the definitions of Required
Lenders, Required Syndicated Canadian Banks, Pro Rata Share or Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Share;
(iv) increase the amount of the Commitment of any Syndicated Global Lender or the Syndicated Canadian Commitment of any
Syndicated Canadian Bank or increase any Lenders Pro Rata Share or any Syndicated Canadian Banks Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Share;
(v) permit any Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement;
(vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Support Agreement, release Harley from any of its obligations under
the Support Agreement or otherwise terminate the Support Agreement;
(vii) release any Guarantor other than in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;
(viii) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of
principal, interest or other amounts under the Loan Documents shall be applied as among the Lenders;
(ix)
amend this Section 8.3;
71
and (b) any supplemental agreement amending or modifying any provision of the
Syndicated Canadian Addendum only requires the written consent of the Canadian Borrower, the Required Syndicated Canadian Banks and the Global Administrative Agent.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Global Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written
consent of the Global Administrative Agent. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relative to the Global Swing Line Lender shall be effective without the written consent of the Global Swing Line Lender. The Global Administrative Agent may
waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.3(B) without obtaining the consent of any of the Lenders or Borrowers.
If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of the Lenders, each
Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being
referred to herein as a Non-Consenting Lender), then Harley may (at its sole cost and expense) elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such
replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to Harley and the Global Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender
pursuant to an assignment and assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of
Section 13.3(A), and with Harley or such replacement Lender paying the $3,500 processing fee required in Section 13.3(B) and (ii) Harley shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such
replacement (1) all principal, interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by any Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such
Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 3.1 3.2, 3.5 and 3.7, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such
Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
8.4 Preservation of
Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a
Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required
pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Global Administrative
Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (except with respect to actions that require the consent of all of the Lenders as provided in
Section 8.3), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes. The Global Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.
10.6 Employment of the Global Administrative Agent and Counsel. The Global
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, affiliates and attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received
by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Global Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement
among the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Global Administrative Agents duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
77
10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Global Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, 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, and, in respect to
legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Global Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Global Administrative Agent.
10.8 The Global Administrative Agents Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the
Global Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (determined at the time such indemnity is sought) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by any Borrower for which the Global Administrative Agent is entitled to
reimbursement or indemnification by any Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Global Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
distribution (including via the internet) and enforcement of the Loan Documents, including as a result of a dispute among the Lenders or between any Lender and the Global Administrative Agent, and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Global Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the
Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, including as a result of a dispute among the Lenders or
between any Lender and the Global Administrative Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have arisen solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Global Administrative Agent.
10.9 Rights as a
Lender. With respect to its Commitment, Swing Line Commitment or Syndicated Canadian Commitment, Loans made by it and any Notes issued to it, the Global Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other
Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Global Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the term Lender or Lenders, Syndicated Canadian Bank or Global Swing Line
Lender, as applicable, shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Global Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Global Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind
of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Harley, any Company or any of their Subsidiaries in which such Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any
other Person.
10.10 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Global Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Global Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.11 Successor Global Administrative Agent. The Global Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Global Administrative Agent. If no successor Global Administrative Agent shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring Global Administrative Agents giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Global Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf
of the Lenders, a successor Global Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, each such successor Global Administrative Agent shall be subject to approval by Harley,
which approval shall not be unreasonably
78
withheld. Such successor Global Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank (including a branch thereof) having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as the Global Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Global Administrative Agent, such successor Global Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Global Administrative Agent, and the retiring Global Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Global Administrative Agents
resignation hereunder as the Global Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Global Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
10.12 Co-Agents, Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent, etc. None
of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a co-agent, documentation agent or syndication agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other
than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such
Lenders as it makes with respect to the Global Administrative Agent in Section 10.10.
ARTICLE XI SETOFF; RATABLE
PAYMENTS
11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders or the Global Swing Line
Lender under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any indebtedness from any Lender or the Global Swing Line Lender to any Company (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or
available) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender or the Global Swing Line Lender and the other Obligations, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.
11.2 Ratable Payments. (a) If any Syndicated Global Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its
Syndicated Global Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Syndicated Global Lender, such Syndicated Global Lender agrees,
promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Syndicated Global Loans held by the other Syndicated Global Lenders so that after such purchase each Syndicated Global Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Syndicated Global Loans. If any
Syndicated Global Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Syndicated Global
Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Syndicated Global Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Syndicated Global Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by
legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
(b) If any Syndicated Canadian Bank, whether by
setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Syndicated Canadian Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Syndicated
Canadian Bank, such Syndicated Canadian Bank agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Syndicated Canadian Loans held by the other Syndicated Canadian Banks so that after such purchase each Syndicated Canadian Bank will hold its
ratable proportion of Syndicated Canadian Loans. If any Syndicated Canadian Bank, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts
which may be subject to setoff, such Syndicated Canadian Bank agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Syndicated Canadian Banks share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Syndicated
Canadian Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
79
ARTICLE XII GUARANTEE
In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit hereunder, but subject to the provisions of the final paragraph of this Article
XII, each Guarantor fully and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, the Obligations (including, without limitation, interest accruing
hereunder after the commencement of any case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or legislation in any country in which a Company is organized, whether or not allowed as a claim in such case). The
obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XII are sometimes referred to as the Guarantee. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or
further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its Guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation.
Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives
notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, or, except as specifically provided therein, by any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the
terms or provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other agreement.
Each Guarantor further agrees
that its Guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in
favor of any Borrower or any other person.
Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be
unconditional, irrespective of:
(i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance, novation or subordination of any
of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents;
(ii) the absence of any attempt by, or on behalf of, any
Lender or the Global Administrative Agent to collect, or to take any other action to enforce, all or any part of the Obligations whether from or against any Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person;
(iii) the election of any remedy by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent with respect to all or
any part of the Obligations;
(iv) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence
by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent with respect to any provision of any of the Loan Documents;
(v) the failure of the Global Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or
to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations;
80
(vi) the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Lenders
or the Global Administrative Agent in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (the Bankruptcy Code) or other bankruptcy-related rules or legislation in any
country in which a Company is organized, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;
(vii) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Company, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or regulations in any country in which a Borrower is organized;
(viii) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or
regulations in any country in which a Company is organized, of all or any portion of the claims of any of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Obligations; or
(ix) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower or
any Guarantor.
The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or
termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance
of the Obligations or otherwise. The Lenders, either themselves or acting through the Global Administrative Agent, are authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, from time to time,
(a) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the Obligations, or to otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (b) to accept
partial payments on all or any part of the Obligations; (c) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, this Guarantee, or any other guaranties of all or any part of the Obligations,
(d) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (e) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in their discretion they may determine; (f) to settle, release,
exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of the Obligations, this Guarantee, any other guaranty of all or any part of the Obligations, and any security or collateral for the Obligations or for any such
guaranty.
The Guarantors consent and agree that none of the Lenders nor the Global Administrative Agent nor any Person acting
for or on behalf of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The Guarantors further agree that, to the
extent that any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations makes a payment or payments to any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, or any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent receives any proceeds
of collateral for all or any part of the Obligations, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to any Borrower, such Guarantor, such
other guarantor or any other Person, or their respective estates, trustees, receivers or any other party, under any bankruptcy law, state, provincial or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment,
the part of the Obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at
law or in equity against the Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due,
81
whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Global Administrative Agent, forthwith
pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, the amount of such unpaid Obligations. The Guarantors further agree, jointly and severally, that if payment in respect of any of the Obligations owed to any Lender shall be due in a currency other than Dollars
and/or at a place of payment other than as designated in this Agreement or the Syndicated Canadian Addendum and if, by reason of any Change in Law (as defined in Section 3.1), disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or
civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligations in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the judgment of such Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of
such Lender, the Guarantors shall make payment of such Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in the applicable place designated in this Agreement or the Syndicated Canadian Addendum,
and shall indemnify such Lender against any losses or expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.
Until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Guarantors (i) shall have no
right of subrogation with respect to such Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them) now have or may hereafter have against any Borrower, any endorser or any
guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations or any other Person, and the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them) to
secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them).
This Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect and may not be terminated or otherwise revoked until the Obligations shall have
been fully paid (in cash) and discharged and this Agreement and all financing arrangements between any Borrower, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been terminated; provided that if a Guarantor is merged or
consolidated with another Company pursuant to Section 6.2.3 or if the capital stock of a Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (as in effect on the
Closing Date), such Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantors (or any of them) shall have any right under applicable law to terminate or revoke
this Guarantee, the Guarantors agree that such termination or revocation shall not be effective until a written notice of such revocation or termination, specifically referring hereto, signed by the Guarantors, is actually received by the Global
Administrative Agent. Such notice shall not affect the right and power of any of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent to enforce rights arising prior to receipt thereof by the Global Administrative Agent. If any Lender grants loans or
takes other action after a Guarantor terminates or revokes this Guarantee but before the Global Administrative Agent receives such written notice, the rights of such Lender with respect thereto shall be the same as if such termination or revocation
had not occurred. The provisions of this Article XII shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, until the Obligations shall have been fully paid (in cash) and discharged.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII to the contrary, on and after the Guaranty Ratings Threshold Date,
(i) the cross-guarantee obligations of each U.S. Borrower in respect of the Loans made to, and any other obligations of, the other U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Article XII shall be automatically released and terminated, (ii) the
obligations of the Opco Guarantors under this Article XII shall be solely in respect of the Loans made to, and any other Obligations of, Harley and (iii) the obligations of the Finco Guarantors under this Article XII shall be
solely in respect of the Loans made to, and any other Obligations of, HDFC and the Canadian Borrower.
82
ARTICLE XIII BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS;
PARTICIPATIONS
13.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Companies, the Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Companies shall not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any
assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3 hereof. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section 13.1, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of any Borrower or the Global
Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.
The Global Administrative Agent may treat any Lender as the owner of the Loans for all purposes hereof unless and until such Lender complies with Section 13.3 hereof in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other
transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Global Administrative Agent. Any such assignee or transferee agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or
consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Loan, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Loan.
13.2 Participations.
(A) Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 13.2, any Lender may, in the
ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (Participants) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment or Syndicated
Canadian Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents on a pro rata basis. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lenders obligations under the
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of all Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all
amounts payable by any Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and such Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under the Loan Documents except that, for purposes of Article III hereof, the Participants shall be entitled to the same rights as if they were Lenders provided however that no
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article III than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights participated.
(B) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment or Syndicated Canadian Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which involves an
amendment, modification or waiver with respect to a matter which, if such Participant were a Lender hereunder, would require the consent of such Lender under clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 8.3 hereof.
(C) Benefit of Setoff. The Companies agree that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided
in Section 11.1 hereof in respect to its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents;
provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 hereof with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant except to the extent such Participant exercises its right of
set off. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 hereof, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its
right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.
83
13.3 Assignments.
(A) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any
time assign to one or more banks or other entities which is not (i) a competitor of any of the Companies or (ii) a Person that is, or is owned or controlled by, a participant in the transportation industry (Purchasers)
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment, Syndicated Canadian Commitment, Swing Line Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of its participation interests in Syndicated
Canadian Loans and Swing Line Loans, and its obligation to participate in additional Syndicated Canadian Loans and Swing Line Loans hereunder) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.3. Each assignment shall be of a
constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the rights and obligations of any assigning Lender under this Agreement. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and shall not be permitted hereunder
unless such assignment is either for all of such Lenders rights and obligations under the Loan Documents or, except for assignments to another Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund, involves loans and commitments in an aggregate
amount of at least $5,000,000. Notice to the Global Administrative Agent shall be required prior to any assignment becoming effective and the consent of the Global Administrative Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required prior to any assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, notice to and consent of Harley (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund.
(B) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Global Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in
the form attached as Appendix I to Exhibit C hereto (a Notice of Assignment), together with any consents required by Section 13.3(A) hereof, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Global
Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that
none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are plan assets as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan
Documents will not be plan assets under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser, if not already a Lender, shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed
by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no consent or action by any of the Borrowers or the Lenders and no further consent or
action by the Global Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment, Loans and the Syndicated Canadian Loan participations and Swing Line Loan participations
assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3(B), the transferor Lender, the Global Administrative Agent and Harley shall, if requested by such transferor Lender or
Purchaser, make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser.
(C) The Register. The Global Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 14.1 a copy of
each assignment delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to this Section 13.3 and a register (the Register) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of and principal amount of
the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether
84
such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an assignment under this Section 13.3. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error, and each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
13.4 Confidentiality. (i) Subject to Section 13.5, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall hold
confidential (A) all nonpublic information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement and (B) except as otherwise permitted by Harley, all information related to the Licensed Marks (as defined in Section 13.6)) and
all other information which a reasonable person would deem to be confidential and/or proprietary in light of the nature of the information and the manner in which it was disclosed; provided that the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may each make disclosure (1) to its and its Affiliates directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential and the Global Administrative Agent and each Lender, as applicable, shall be responsible for breach by its respective affiliated Persons to
which the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender made such disclosure), (2) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (6) subject to a written agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (a) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (b) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (7) with the prior written consent of Harley or
(8) to the extent such information (a) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (b) becomes available to the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Companies. In no event shall the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Harley, the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries; provided, however, each
prospective Transferee shall be required to agree that if it does not become a participant or assignee it shall return all materials furnished to it by or on behalf of Harley or any Company in connection with this Agreement.
(ii) (A) To the extent that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Title V/Privacy (collectively with the related implementing regulations, the
GLBA), shall be applicable to the transactions contemplated herein, each of the parties hereto agrees that (1) it shall use all non-public personal information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement solely
for the purposes for which the information is disclosed or as otherwise permitted in conformance with the requirements of the GLBA and (2) it shall maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same extent as described in
Section 13.4(i). This clause shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(B) In the event that the Global
Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably believes that any physical and/or electronic safeguards have been breached, and that non-public personal information has been obtained by persons and/or entities without authority to use or view such
non-public personal information, the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will notify HDFS and Harley, in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable. The Global Administrative Agent and each Lender shall also maintain
commercially reasonable processes and procedures for the storage, retention, and disposal of documents and storage media containing nonpublic personal information. Nothing in this clause shall be construed to create any third-party beneficiary
rights in any consumer or other holder of nonpublic personal information. This clause shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
85
(iii) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that any breach of the aforesaid
confidentiality obligations in this Section 13.4 is likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to HDFS and Harley. Therefore, HDFS and Harley shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its interests, including but not
limited to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Nothing stated herein will be construed to limit any other remedies available to the parties hereto. This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
13.5 Dissemination of Information. Each of the Companies authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or
Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a Transferee) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lenders possession concerning the Companies and
their Subsidiaries; provided that prior to any such disclosure, such prospective Transferee shall agree in writing to preserve in accordance with Section 13.4 the confidentiality of any non-public information described therein.
13.6 Non-Use of HDFS Licensed Marks. (i) HDFS , Harley and their affiliates have the right pursuant to
licenses or otherwise to use certain trademarks, logos, etc. relating to Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, HDFS and their affiliates (the Licensed Marks). Except as permitted by the following sentences, none of the Global
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates are authorized to use such Licensed Marks or Harleys or HDFSs text name and logo on forms, in legal documents, in advertising, marketing materials, in press releases or any other
document or material. In the event the Global Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates wish to use said Licensed Marks, such Person must obtain HDFSs and Harleys prior written approval, which said approval is at
HDFSs and Harleys sole and absolute discretion and subject to subsequent periodic review of such use and to such reasonable specifications of HDFS and Harley to the extent such specifications are directly related to the legal

SCHEDULE III
MANDATORY COST
1. |
The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the
Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. |
2. |
On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Global Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the
Associated Costs Rate) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Global Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders Associated Costs Rates
(weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. |
3. |
The Associated Costs Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Global
Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Global Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lenders participation in all Loans made
from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office. |
4. |
The Associated Costs Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Global Administrative Agent as follows:
|
|
(a) |
in relation to a Loan in Pounds Sterling: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AB + C(B D) + E x 0.01 |
|
per cent. per annum |
|
|
|
|
100 (A + C) |
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
in relation to a Loan in any currency other than Pounds Sterling: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
E x 0.01 |
|
per cent. per annum |
|
|
|
|
300 |
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
A |
is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an
interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. |
|
B |
is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified
in Section 2.11 (Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. |
|
C |
is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of
England. |
|
D |
is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Global Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. |
|
E |
is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Global Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent
rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. |
5. |
For the purposes of this Schedule: |
|
(a) |
Eligible Liabilities and Special Deposits have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of
England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; |
|
(b) |
Facility Office means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the Global Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a
Lender (or, following that date, by not less than five (5) Business Days written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement. |
|
(c) |
Fees Rules means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to
time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; |
|
(d) |
Fee Tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated
fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); |
|
(e) |
Participating Member State means any member state of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with
legislation of the European Union relating to economic and monetary union. |
|
(f) |
Reference Banks means, in relation to Mandatory Cost, the principal London offices of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Citibank, N.A. and, in relation
to EURIBOR, the principal offices of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Citibank, N.A. in the relevant jurisdiction or such other banks as may be appointed by the Global Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrowers. |
|
(g) |
Tariff Base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. |
|
(h) |
Unpaid Sum means any sum due and payable but unpaid by a Borrower under the Loan Documents. |
6. |
In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not
as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. |
7. |
If requested by the Global Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the
Global Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose
by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. |
8. |
Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Global Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Associated Costs Rate. In particular, but
without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: |
|
(a) |
the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and |
|
(b) |
any other information that the Global Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. |
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Global Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9. |
The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the
Global Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Global Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lenders obligations in
relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. |
10. |
The Global Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Associated Costs Rate which over or under compensates any
Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. |
11. |
The Global Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Associated Costs
Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. |
12. |
Any determination by the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Associated Costs Rate or any amount
payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. |
13. |
The Global Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the relevant Borrowers and Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any
amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or,
in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. |
SCHEDULE IV

(i) The Borrowers agree that any and all claims of the Borrowers against any Guarantor with respect to any Guarantor Intercompany
Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and
in cash, of all Obligations; provided that, and not in contravention of the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing the Borrowers may make loans to and receive payments in the ordinary course with respect to such Guarantor
Intercompany Indebtedness from any Guarantor to the extent permitted by the terms of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any right of the Borrowers to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Guarantor, all
rights, liens and security interests of the Borrowers, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any Guarantor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the holders of the Obligations and the Global
Administrative Agent in those assets. Except as otherwise permitted above, the Borrowers shall not have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of
the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and the Hedging Obligations owing to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof (such Hedging Obligations, the Hedging Liabilities) shall have been fully paid and satisfied
(in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (or any affiliate thereof) have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of any Guarantor, or the proceeds
thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Guarantor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for
the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of such Guarantor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an
Insolvency Event), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness (excepting indebtedness for fees
and other administrative charges, if any, as may from time to time accrue in the ordinary course of business) of any Guarantor to the Borrowers (Guarantor Intercompany Indebtedness) shall be paid or delivered directly to the
Global Administrative Agent for application on any of the Obligations and Hedging Liabilities, due or to become due, until such Obligations and Hedging Liabilities (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have first been fully paid and
satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the Borrowers upon or with respect to any Guarantor Intercompany Indebtedness after an Insolvency Event prior to the satisfaction of all
of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and Hedging Liabilities and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (and their affiliates),
the Borrowers shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Global Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such
Persons, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Borrowers where necessary), for application to any of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be
held in trust by the Borrowers as the property of
the holders of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities. If the Borrowers fail to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Global Administrative Agent, the Global Administrative Agent
or any of its officers or employees are irrevocably authorized to make the same. The Borrowers agree that until the Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) and such Hedging Liabilities have been paid in full (in cash) and
satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (and their affiliates) have been terminated, the Borrowers will not assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Global
Administrative Agent) any claim the Borrowers have or may have against any Guarantor.
(ii) Each Guarantor agrees that any and
all claims of such Guarantor against the Borrowers with respect to any Borrower Intercompany Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or against any of its
properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Obligations; provided that, and not in contravention of the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing each
Guarantor may make loans to and receive payments in the ordinary course with respect to such Borrower Intercompany Indebtedness from the Borrowers to the extent permitted by the terms of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from the Borrowers, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of the Borrowers
shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the holders of the Obligations and the Global Administrative Agent in those assets. Except as otherwise permitted above, no Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose
upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and the Hedging Liabilities shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing
arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of Obligations (or any affiliate thereof) have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of the Borrowers, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any
distribution, division or application to the creditors of the Borrowers, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or
any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any of the Borrowers is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any of the Borrowers are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an
Insolvency Event), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness (excepting indebtedness for fees
and other administrative charges, if any, as may from time to time accrue in the ordinary course of business) of the Borrowers to any Guarantor (Borrower Intercompany Indebtedness) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Global
Administrative Agent for application on any of the Obligations and Hedging Liabilities, due or to become due, until such Obligations and Hedging Liabilities (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have first been fully paid and satisfied
(in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by any Guarantor upon or with respect to any Borrower Intercompany Indebtedness after an Insolvency Event prior to the satisfaction of all of the
Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and Hedging Liabilities and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (and their affiliates), the
applicable Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in
trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Global Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such
Persons, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be
held in trust by such Guarantor as the property of the holders of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities. If any Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Global Administrative Agent, the Global Administrative Agent or
any of its officers or employees are irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Guarantor agrees that until the Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) and such Hedging Liabilities have been paid in full (in cash) and
satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (and their affiliates) have been terminated, such Guarantor will not assign or transfer to any Person (other than the

Bankers Acceptance which would otherwise be accepted by a Syndicated Canadian Bank would not be Cdn.$100,000, or a whole multiple thereof, the face amount shall be increased or reduced by the Global Administrative Agent in its sole discretion
to Cdn.$100,000, or the nearest whole multiple of that amount, as appropriate; provided that after such issuance, no Syndicated Canadian Bank shall have outstanding Syndicated Canadian Loans in excess of such Syndicated Canadian Banks
Syndicated Canadian Commitment outstanding immediately prior to such issuance.
(j) Waiver of Presentment and Other
Conditions. The Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defence to payment of any amounts due to a Syndicated Canadian Bank in respect of a Bankers Acceptance accepted and purchased by it pursuant to
this Addendum which might exist solely by reason of the Bankers Acceptance being held, at the maturity thereof, by the Syndicated Canadian Bank in its own right and the Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of
5
grace if the Syndicated Canadian Bank as holder sues the Canadian Borrower on the Bankers Acceptance for payment of the amount payable by the Canadian Borrower thereunder. On the specified
maturity date of a Bankers Acceptance or the date of any prepayment thereof in accordance with this Addendum, if earlier, the Canadian Borrower shall pay to the Syndicated Canadian Bank that has accepted such Bankers Acceptance the full
face amount of such Bankers Acceptance and after such payment, the Canadian Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such Bankers Acceptance (except to the extent that any such payment is rescinded or reclaimed by operation
of law or otherwise) and such Syndicated Canadian Bank shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such Bankers Acceptance.
(k) BA Equivalent Loans by Non BA Lenders. Whenever the Canadian Borrower requests a Bankers Acceptance Loan or conversion
or continuation thereof under this Addendum, each Non BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting a Bankers Acceptance, make a BA Equivalent Loan in an amount equal to the Non BA Lenders Syndicated Canadian Pro Rata Share of such Bankers
Acceptance Loan.
(l) Terms Applicable to Discount Notes. As set out in the definition of Bankers
Acceptances, that term includes Discount Notes and all terms of this Addendum and the Credit Agreement applicable to Bankers Acceptances shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in
the context be necessary. For greater certainty:
|
(i) |
the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the Interest Period for Bankers Acceptances accepted and purchased on the same date in respect of the same
Advance; |
|
(ii) |
a stamping fee will be payable by the Canadian Borrower in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Stamping
Fee in respect of a Bankers Acceptance; and |
|
(iii) |
the BA Discount Rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the BA Discount Rate applicable to Bankers Acceptances accepted by the Global Administrative Agent (as
Lender) on the same date, in respect of the same Advance. |
(m) Stamping Fees on Bankers Acceptance.
The Canadian Borrower shall pay, in respect of each draft accepted by the Syndicated Canadian Banks as a Bankers Acceptance, a per annum stamping fee (the Stamping Fee) equal to (1) the Applicable Margin for
Eurocurrency Rate Loans and CDOR Loans, changing when and as such Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and CDOR Loans shall change, multiplied by (2) the face amount of such Bankers Acceptance, and calculated based on the number
of days to maturity of such Bankers Acceptance divided by 365 (or, when appropriate, 366). Such Stamping Fee shall be payable in advance on the date of issuance of the Bankers Acceptance. The Canadian Borrower authorizes and directs the
Syndicated Canadian Banks to deduct from the Bankers Acceptance Proceeds of Bankers Acceptances purchased by such Syndicated Canadian Bank for its own account, the amount of each such Stamping Fee upon the issue of each Bankers
Acceptance.
(n) Depository Bills and Notes Act. At the option of the Canadian Borrower and any Syndicated Canadian
Bank, Bankers Acceptances under this Addendum to be accepted by such Syndicated Canadian Bank may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and
Notes Act (Canada). All depository bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this Addendum.
6
(o) Circumstances Making Bankers Acceptances Unavailable. If the Global
Administrative Agent determines in good faith, which determination shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof, and notifies the Canadian Borrower that, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market, there is no market for
Bankers Acceptances, then:
|
(i) |
the right of the Canadian Borrower to request a Bankers Acceptance Loan (or continuation or conversion thereof) shall be suspended until the Global Administrative
Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Canadian Borrower; and |
|
(ii) |
any notice relating to a Bankers Acceptance Loan (or continuation or conversion thereof) which is outstanding at such time shall be deemed to be a notice
requesting an Advance (or continuation or conversion thereof) by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans. |
The Global
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Canadian Borrower and the Syndicated Canadian Banks of the suspension in accordance with this Section of the Canadian Borrowers right to request a Bankers Acceptance Loan (or continuation or
conversion thereof) and of the termination of any such suspension.
(p) Prepayment. The Canadian Borrower may pay the
full face amount of a Bankers Acceptances to the Global Administrative Agent to be held by the Global Administrative Agent in a non-interest bearing account as collateral security for the Canadian Borrowers obligations with respect to
those Bankers Acceptances and after such payment, the Canadian Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such Bankers Acceptance (except to the extent that any such payment is rescinded or reclaimed by operation of law or
otherwise) and the Syndicated Canadian Bank that accepted such Bankers Acceptance shall be entitled to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such Bankers Acceptance.
(q) Default. Immediately upon termination of the Commitments under Section 8.1(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Canadian
Borrower shall pay to the Global Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Syndicated Canadian Banks the face amount of all Bankers Acceptances which have not matured, provided that, at the Global Administrative Agents sole
discretion, such amounts may be paid to the applicable Syndicated Canadian Banks in full and absolute satisfaction of the Canadian Borrowers reimbursement obligation in respect of such Bankers Acceptances, or, alternatively, such amounts
may be held by the Global Administrative Agent in a non-interest bearing account as collateral security for the Canadian Borrowers obligations with respect to those Bankers Acceptances.
(r) Canadian Swing Line Loans. The terms of this Addendum shall apply equally to Bankers Acceptance Loans made by the Global
Swing Line Lender except that (i) Bankers Acceptances Loans will consist of loans bearing interest at the CDOR Rate and not the issuance of Bankers Acceptances; (ii) the CDOR Rate will be the discount rate for the term of the
applicable Bankers Acceptance Loan as quoted by the Global Swing Line Lender; (iii) interest on Bankers Acceptance Loans shall be payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period and (iv) the applicable notice
requirements shall be as set out in Schedule II to the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE 3
Representations and Warranties
SECTION 3.01. Representations of the Canadian Borrower. The Canadian Borrower party hereto makes and confirms each representation
and warranty in all material respects as of each Borrowing Date applicable to the Canadian Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement except for representations and warranties made with reference solely
to an earlier date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date; provided, that the representations set forth in Sections 5.1.6 and 5.1.7 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be
made only (1) on and as of the Closing Date, (2) on and as of each date (if any) on which the Lenders agree to extend the Termination Date and (3) on and as of the effective date of any increase in the Commitments (if any) and
represents and warrants to each of the Syndicated Canadian Banks that no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, and no Default or Unmatured Default shall arise as a result of the making of Syndicated Canadian Loans hereunder or

ARTICLE 4
Miscellaneous Provisions
SECTION 4.01. Limitation on Criminal Rates of Interest.
(a) No Payment shall exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of the Credit Agreement and this Addendum, the Canadian
Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and this Addendum in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation. In
particular, the Canadian Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts which would result in the receipt by any Lender of interest on credit advanced at a rate in excess of the rate permitted under the Criminal Code (Canada).
For purposes of this Section 4.01, interest and credit advanced have the meanings ascribed in the Criminal Code (Canada) and the effective annual rate of interest shall be calculated in accordance with
generally accepted actuarial principles and practices.
(b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Canadian Borrower is
not obliged to make a payment which it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of this Section 4.01, the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws,
rules and regulations.
(c) Adjustment if any Payment exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of the Credit Agreement or
this Addendum would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, or in the case of the
Canadian Borrower, would result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted
with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent
necessary, as follows:
firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Canadian Borrower to the affected
Lender; and
8
thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid by the
Canadian Borrower to the affected Lender where, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, such amounts would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Canadian
Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the case of the Canadian Borrower, an amount in excess of the maximum permitted under the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall
be entitled, by notice in writing to the Global Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to
the Canadian Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 4.01 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any
Loan remains outstanding on the assumption, with respect to Canadian Syndicated Loans, that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of interest (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if the relate to a
specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date.
SECTION 4.02. Amendment; Termination.
(a) This Addendum (including the Schedules hereto) may not be amended without the prior written consent of the Canadian Borrower, the
Global Administrative Agent and the Syndicated Canadian Banks representing more than 50% of the Syndicated Canadian Commitment.
(b) This Addendum may not be terminated without the prior written consent of the Global Administrative Agent and each Syndicated Canadian
Bank party hereto and the Canadian Borrower unless there are no Syndicated Canadian Loans outstanding hereunder, in which case no such consent of the Syndicated Canadian Banks shall be required; provided, however, that this Addendum shall terminate
on the date that the Credit Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.
SECTION 4.03. Assignments.
Sections 13.1 and 13.3 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to assignments by the Syndicated Canadian Banks of obligations, commitments
and Loans hereunder; provided, however, that the Syndicated Canadian Banks may not assign any obligations, commitments or rights hereunder to any Person who is not (and does not simultaneously become) a Lender under the Credit Agreement.

Section 2.10(b)(i) hereof.

Syndicated Global Advance.

management or policies of the controlled Person, whether through ownership of stock, membership, ownership or other equity interests, by contract or otherwise.

Lenders, as reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof. The initial Aggregate Commitment is $675,000,000.
Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure is defined in Section 2.4(b)(ii) hereof.
Agreement means this 364-Day Credit Agreement, as it may be amended, restated or
otherwise modified and in effect from time to time.
Agreement Accounting Principles
means generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States, applied in a manner consistent with that used by Harley in its preparation of its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2009 (except for changes to such application as are concurred on by Harleys independent public accountants); provided that, if Harley notifies the Global Administrative Agent that Harley wishes to amend Section 6.3 to
eliminate the effect of any change in Agreement Accounting Principles on the operation of such covenant (or if the Global Administrative Agent notifies Harley that the Required Lenders wish to amend Section 6.3 for such purpose), then
Harleys
1
compliance with such section shall be determined on the basis of Agreement Accounting Principles in effect immediately before the relevant change in Agreement Accounting Principles became
effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such Section is amended in a manner satisfactory to Harley and the Required Lenders.
Alternate Base Rate means, for any day, a fluctuating interest rate per annum (rounded upwards,
if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) as shall be in effect from time to time, which rate per annum shall at all times be equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day; (b) the sum of one-half of one percent (0.50%) and
the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day; and (c) the Eurodollar Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%. For purposes hereof,

for any day, a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding
Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on such transactions received by the Global Administrative Agent from three
Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the Global Administrative Agent. If for any reason the Global Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to
ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability of the Global Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms hereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to
clause (b) of the first sentence of this definition until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the

ARTICLE II THE CREDITS
2.1 Syndicated Global Loans. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2
hereof, from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date, each Syndicated Global Lender severally and not jointly agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Syndicated Global Loans to the
Global Borrowers from time to time, in Dollars, in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding an amount equal to such Syndicated Global Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitment; provided,
however
(i) that the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of the Syndicated Global Loans then
outstanding and (b) the aggregate amount of the Bid Rate Loans then outstanding, shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment;
(ii) that the aggregate outstanding amount of all Loans at any time shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment; and
(iii) that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the aggregate amount of all Syndicated
Global Loans made by a Syndicated Global Lender shall not at any time exceed the amount of such Syndicated Global Lenders Commitment.
Each Syndicated Global Advance under this Section 2.1 shall consist of Syndicated Global Loans made by each Syndicated Global
Lender ratably in proportion to such Syndicated Global Lenders respective Pro Rata Share; provided that, the Global Administrative Agent may allocate any Syndicated Global Advance on a non-pro rata basis to the extent the failure to so
allocate would cause a Syndicated Global Lenders Loans to exceed such Syndicated Global Lenders Commitment. Subject to the terms of
18
this Agreement, each Global Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Syndicated Global Loans at any time prior to the Termination Date. Each Global Borrower may select, in accordance with
Sections 2.6 and 2.8 and subject to the other conditions and limitations therein set forth and set forth in this Article II, Global Rate Options and Interest Periods applicable to portions of the Syndicated Global Advances. On
the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal balance of the Syndicated Global Loans shall be paid in full by the Global Borrowers.
2.2 Conversion to Term Loan. If the Borrowers so elect by delivery of a written notice (the Term Loan Conversion
Notice) to the Global Administrative Agent at least ten (10) but not more than twenty (20) days prior to the date of the Termination Date, then on the Termination Date (the Loan Conversion Date), but subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, the Commitments shall be terminated and the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be converted to a term loan (the Term Loan)
which shall, in the case of each Lender, be in the amount of such Lenders outstanding Loans on such date, and which shall be due and payable in full, together with accrued interest, on the first anniversary of the Loan Conversion Date, with
any prepayment thereof to be made subject to Section 2.3; provided, that no such conversion shall occur (i) if a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing either on the date of delivery of such Term Loan
Conversion Notice or on the Loan Conversion Date or (ii) unless and until the Borrowers have paid to the Global Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender, a fee in an amount equal to 1.50% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Term Loan on the Loan Conversion Date. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Loan following any such conversion may not be reborrowed. If such term loan conversion has not previously been completed, then on the Termination Date, the
Commitments shall be terminated and all of the Loans and other Obligations shall be due and payable.
2.3 Optional Payments
of Loans. Subject to Section 3.4 and the requirements of Section 2.7, each relevant Global Borrower may (a) prepay Floating Rate Loans following irrevocable notice given to the Global Administrative Agent by such
Borrower, by not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of the proposed prepayment, such notice specifying the aggregate principal amount of and the proposed date of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall prepay
the outstanding principal amounts of the specified Floating Rate Loans comprising part of the same Syndicated Global Advance in whole or ratably in part and (b) prepay any Fixed Rate Loans following notice given to the Global Administrative
Agent by such Borrower by not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date that is not less than one (1) Business Day preceding the date of the proposed prepayment, such notice specifying the Syndicated Global Advance to be prepaid and the
proposed date of the prepayment, and, if such notice is given, such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Fixed Rate Loans comprising an Advance in whole (and not in part), together with accrued interest to the date of such
prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. With respect to Floating Rate Advances, each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000.
2.4 Reduction/Increase of Commitments.
(a) Reduction of Commitments. Harley may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in part ratably
among the Lenders, in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Global Administrative Agent, which notice
shall specify the amount of any such reduction; provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances. All accrued and unpaid
commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder. The Global Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to the relevant Lenders any notices received by it under
this Section 2.4(a).
19
(b) Increase in Aggregate Commitment.
(i) At any time prior to the Termination Date, Harley may request that the Aggregate Commitment be increased; provided that,
(A) the Aggregate Commitment shall at no time exceed $1,000,000,000 and (B) each such request shall be in a minimum amount of at least $10,000,000. Each request shall be made in a written notice given to the Global Administrative Agent and
the Lenders by Harley not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase, which notice (a Commitment Increase Notice) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase in the
Aggregate Commitment and the proposed effective date of such increase. In the event of such a Commitment Increase Notice, each of the Syndicated Global Lenders shall be given the opportunity to participate in the requested increase ratably in the
proportions that their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment under this Agreement. On or prior to the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Commitment Increase Notice, each Syndicated Global Lender shall
submit to the Global Administrative Agent a notice indicating the maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment in connection with such Commitment Increase Notice (any such notice to the Global Administrative Agent being herein a
Lender Increase Notice). Any Syndicated Global Lender which does not submit a Lender Increase Notice to the Global Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) Business Day period shall be deemed to have
denied any increase in its Commitment. In the event that the increases of Commitments set forth in the Lender Increase Notices exceed the amount requested by Harley in the Commitment Increase Notice, the Global Administrative Agent and the Arrangers
shall have the right, with the consent of Harley, to allocate the amount of increases necessary to meet the Commitment Increase Notice. In the event that the Lender Increase Notices are less than the amount requested by the Commitment Increase
Notice, not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of the requested increase, Harley may notify the Global Administrative Agent of any financial institution that shall have agreed to become a Lender
party hereto (a Proposed New Lender) in connection with the Commitment Increase Notice. Any Proposed New Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Global Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
If Harley shall not have arranged any Proposed New Lender(s) to commit to the shortfall from the Lender Increase Notices, then Harley shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of the Commitment Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in
the Lender Increase Notices. Based upon the Lender Increase Notices, any allocations made in connection therewith and any notice regarding any Proposed New Lender, if applicable, the Global Administrative Agent shall notify Harley and the Syndicated
Global Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Syndicated Global Lenders and Proposed New Lenders Commitment (the Effective Commitment Amount) and
the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, which amounts shall be effective on the following Business Day. Any increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (I) as of the date of the Commitment
Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment, no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which constitutes a Default or Unmatured Default, (II) Harley, the Global Administrative Agent and
each Proposed New Lender or Syndicated Global Lender that shall have agreed to provide a Commitment in support of such increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall have executed and delivered a Commitment and Acceptance
substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, (III) counsels for the Borrowers and for the Guarantors shall have provided to the Global Administrative Agent supplemental opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Global
Administrative Agent and (IV) the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Proposed New Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Global Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection
with such increase. If any fee shall be charged by the Lenders in connection with any such increase, such fee shall be in accordance with then prevailing market conditions, which market conditions shall have been reasonably documented by the Global
Administrative Agent to Harley. No less than two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the increase of the Aggregate Commitment, the Global Administrative Agent shall notify Harley of the
20
amount of the fee to be charged by the Lenders, and Harley may, at least one (1) Business Day prior to such effective date, cancel its request for the commitment increase. Upon satisfaction
of the conditions precedent to any increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the Global Administrative Agent shall promptly advise Harley and each Syndicated Global Lender of the effective date of such increase. Upon the effective date of any increase
in the Aggregate Commitment that is supported by a Proposed New Lender, such Proposed New Lender shall be a party to this Agreement as a Lender and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall
constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.
(ii) For purposes of this clause (ii), (A) the term Buying Lender(s) shall mean (1) each Syndicated Global
Lender the Effective Commitment Amount of which is greater than its Commitment prior to the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment and (2) each Proposed New Lender that is allocated an Effective Commitment Amount in
connection with any Commitment Increase Notice and (B) the term Selling Lender(s) shall mean each Syndicated Global Lender whose Commitment is not being increased from that in effect prior to such increase in the Aggregate
Commitment. Effective on the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to clause (i) above, each Selling Lender hereby sells, grants, assigns and conveys to each Buying Lender, without recourse, warranty, or
representation of any kind, except as specifically provided herein, an undivided percentage in such Selling Lenders right, title and interest in and to the aggregate principal amount of its Syndicated Global Loans outstanding at such time
(Outstanding Credit Exposure) in the respective amounts and percentages necessary so that, from and after such sale, each such Selling Lenders Outstanding Credit Exposure shall equal such Selling Lenders Pro Rata Share
(calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. Effective on the effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to clause (i) above, each Buying Lender hereby purchases
and accepts such grant, assignment and conveyance from the Selling Lenders. Each Buying Lender hereby agrees that its respective purchase price for the portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure purchased hereby shall equal the respective
amount necessary so that, from and after such payments, each Buying Lenders Outstanding Credit Exposure shall equal such Buying Lenders Pro Rata Share (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the aggregate of the
Outstanding Credit Exposure of all the Syndicated Global Lenders (Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure). Such amount shall be payable on the effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Global Administrative Agent. The Global Administrative Agent, in turn, shall wire transfer any such funds received to the Selling Lenders, in same day funds, for the sole account of the Selling Lenders. Each
Selling Lender hereby represents and warrants to each Buying Lender that such Selling Lender owns the Outstanding Credit Exposure being sold and assigned hereby for its own account and has not sold, transferred or encumbered any or all of its
interest in such Outstanding Credit Exposure, except for participations which will be reduced or extinguished (as applicable) upon payment to Selling Lender of an amount equal to the portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure being sold by
such Selling Lender. Each Buying Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for each Selling Lenders representations and warranties contained in the foregoing sentence, each such Buying Lender is buying such interest without recourse
to the Selling Lender and has entered into its Commitment and Acceptance with respect to such increase on the basis of its own independent investigation and has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, any explicit or implicit written or oral
representation, warranty or other statement of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent concerning the authorization, execution, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. Harley hereby agrees to compensate each Selling Lender for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by such Selling Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan hereunder on the terms and in the
manner as set forth in Section 3.4.
21
2.5 Method of Borrowing Syndicated Global Advances. The Global Administrative Agent
shall, promptly upon receipt of a Syndicated Global Advance Borrowing Notice, notify each Syndicated Global Lender of such Syndicated Global Advance Borrowing Notice and, not later than such time as is reasonably requested by the Global
Administrative Agent on each Borrowing Date, each Syndicated Global Lender shall make available its Syndicated Global Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available to the Global Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant hereto. The
Global Administrative Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Syndicated Global Lenders available to the relevant Global Borrower.
2.6 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods; Determination of Applicable Margins.
(a) Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Syndicated Global Advances. Each Borrower shall select the
Type of Syndicated Global Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Syndicated Global Advance from time to time. Each Global Borrower shall give the applicable office of the Global
Administrative Agent or its applicable Affiliate (in each case as previously directed by the Global Administrative Agent to such Global Borrower) irrevocable notice (a Syndicated Global Advance Borrowing Notice), at its applicable
office as previously specified to such Borrower, not later than the applicable time described in Schedule I, specifying: (i) the Borrowing Date of such Advance (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the aggregate amount of such
Advance; (iii) the Type of Advance selected and (iv) in the case of each Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto. There shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the
Syndicated Global Advances to any one Global Borrower at any time. The Term Loan Conversion Notice will serve as the Syndicated Global Advance Borrowing Notice for the Term Loan. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the
date of the making of such Advance to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the applicable Floating Rate, changing when and as such Floating Rate changes, plus the Floating Rate Margin. Changes in the rate of interest on that
portion of any Syndicated Global Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Loan will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advance.

which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association declares the U.S. fixed income market to be open) as available to the applicable office of the Global Administrative Agent, or if fewer, the number of days for which the then current
series is in effect; provided that in respect of the Term Loan, if any, Applicable Margin means the Applicable Term-Out Margin:

Conversion/Continuation Notice) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Loan into a Fixed Rate Loan or continuation of a Fixed Rate Loan not later than the time prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation which is

such Syndicated Global Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed Bid Rate Advance (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.10(a), exceed such Syndicated Global Lenders
Commitment), the rate or rates of interest, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, or the spread or spreads with respect to the Eurodollar Base Rate, in the case of an Indexed Rate Auction, therefor and such Syndicated Global Lenders Lending

(iii) The applicable Global Borrower shall, in turn, before

(x) cancel such Bid Rate Advance by giving the Global
Administrative Agent notice to that effect; or
26
(y) accept, subject to Section 2.10(d), one or more of the
offers made by any Syndicated Global Lender or Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii), in its sole discretion, by giving notice to the Global Administrative Agent of the amount of each Bid Rate Loan (which amount shall
be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to the applicable Global Borrower by the Global Administrative Agent on behalf of such Syndicated Global Lender for such Bid Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.10(b)(ii)) to be made by each Syndicated Global Lender as part of such Bid Rate Advance, and reject any remaining offers made by Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii) by giving the Global
Administrative Agent notice to that effect.
(iv) If the applicable Global Borrower notifies the Global
Administrative Agent that such Bid Rate Advance is canceled pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii)(x), the Global Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Syndicated Global Lenders and such Bid Rate Advance shall not be
made.
(v) If the applicable Global Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Syndicated Global
Lender or Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii)(y), the Global Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Syndicated Global Lender that has made an offer as described in
Section 2.10(b)(ii) of the date, and aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Advance and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Syndicated Global Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii) have been accepted by the applicable
Global Borrower and (B) each Syndicated Global Lender that is to make a Bid Rate Loan as part of such Bid Rate Advance, of the amount of each Bid Rate Loan to be made by such Syndicated Global Lender as part of such Bid Rate Advance. Each

pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Lending Installation to the Global Administrative Agent at the Lending Installation of the Global Administrative Agent most recently designated by
the Global Administrative Agent for this purpose, such Syndicated Global Lenders portion of such Bid Rate Advance, in same day funds in Dollars. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV and after receipt by
the Global Administrative Agent of such funds, the Global Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Global Borrower at the Global Administrative Agents aforesaid address. Promptly after each Bid Rate Advance, the
Global Administrative Agent will notify each Syndicated Global Lender of the amount of such Bid Rate Advance, the consequent Bid Rate Reduction and the dates upon which such Bid Rate Reduction commenced and will terminate.
(vi) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.10(b), the applicable Global Borrower may elect at
its own discretion to assume the responsibilities of the Global Administrative Agent in connection with the solicitation and acceptance of Bid Rate Loans as described in this section. In the event that the applicable Global Borrower makes the
election described in this subsection, all notices to be given by such Borrower to the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by such Borrower directly to the Global Administrative Agent and the
Syndicated Global Lenders, all notices to be given by the Global Administrative Agent to the Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by such Borrower to the Syndicated Global Lenders, and all notices to
be given by the Syndicated Global Lenders to the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by the Syndicated Global Lenders to such Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent. In addition, any fee
payable to the Global Administrative Agent in connection with the Bid Rate Loans in connection with such Bid Rate Loans solicited and accepted by any Global Borrower pursuant to this clause (vi) is hereby waived.
27
(c) Each Bid Rate Advance shall be in an aggregate amount not less than
$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of approximately $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and, following the making of each Bid Rate Advance, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of
Section 2.10(a).
(d) Each acceptance by the applicable Global Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.10(b)(iii)(y) of the offers made in response to a Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice shall be treated as an acceptance of such offers in ascending order of the rates or margins, as applicable, at which the same were made but if,
as a result thereof, two or more offers at the same such rate or margin would be partially accepted, then the amounts of the Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be treated as being the amounts which bear the same
proportion to one another as the respective amounts of the Bid Rate Loans so offered bear to one another but, in each case, rounded as the Global Administrative Agent (or the applicable Global Borrower in the event such Borrower runs the bid rate
process under clause (b)(vi) above) may consider necessary to ensure that the amount of each such Bid Rate Loan is approximately $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
(e) Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.10, each Global Borrower may from time
to time borrow under this Section 2.10, repay pursuant to Section 2.10(f), and reborrow under this Section 2.10.
(f) The applicable Global Borrower shall repay to the Global Administrative Agent, for the account of each Syndicated
Global Lender which has made a Bid Rate Loan to it, on the maturity date of such Bid Rate Loan (such maturity date being that specified by such Borrower for repayment of such Bid Rate Loan in the related Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice), or, if
earlier, the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, the then unpaid principal amount of such Bid Rate Loan. No Borrower shall have the right to prepay any principal amount of any Bid Rate Loan without the consent of the
applicable Syndicated Global Lender.
(g) The applicable Global Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Bid Rate Loan made to it, from the date of such Bid Rate Loan to the date the principal amount of such Bid Rate Loan is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Bid Rate Loan specified by the Syndicated Global Lender
making such Bid Rate Loan in the related notice submitted by such Syndicated Global Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii), payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by such Borrower for such Bid Rate Loan in the related
Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice and on any date on which such Bid Rate Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise. In the event the term of any Bid Rate Loan shall be longer than three months, interest thereon shall be payable not less
frequently than once each three-month period during such term. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice, interest on Bid Rate Advances shall be calculated (a) for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
365-day year or, when appropriate, 366-day year for Bid Rate Advances made pursuant to an Indexed Rate Auction and (b) for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year for Bid Rate Advances made pursuant to an Absolute Rate Auction.
(h) Except as provided in clause (b)(vi) above, in connection with each Bid Rate Loan, the applicable
Global Borrower shall pay to the Global Administrative Agent the fee with respect thereto set forth in the relevant fee letter dated as of even date herewith between the Borrowers, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and the Global Administrative Agent.
28
2.11 Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any
principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the Global Administrative Agent may with the consent, and shall upon
the request, of the Required Lenders require that such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided herein or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances as provided herein.
2.12 Method of Payment. All payments of principal, interest, and fees hereunder to the Global Administrative Agent shall be made,
without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (a) at the Global Administrative Agents office at the applicable location at which such Advance was made in immediately available funds or at any other Lending Installation of the Global
Administrative Agent specified in writing (by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day before the date when due) by the Global Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower, by 12:00 noon local time in New York, New York on the date when due and
shall be made ratably among the relevant Lenders (unless such amount is not to be shared ratably in accordance with the terms hereof). Each Advance shall be repaid or prepaid in Dollars in the amount borrowed and interest payable thereon shall be
paid in Dollars. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the obligation of any Borrower in respect of any Advance shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any currency other than Dollars or at another location other than the location
designated by the Global Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into Dollars and transfer to the relevant Lenders under normal banking procedure, does not yield the
amount of Dollars due under the Loan Documents. In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of Dollars due under the Loan Documents, such Lender
shall have an independent cause of action against the applicable Borrower(s) for the currency deficit. Each payment delivered to the Global Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Global Administrative
Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds which the Global Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Global Administrative Agent
from such Lender.
2.13 Notes, Telephonic Notices. Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it each be evidenced
by the applicable Notes to evidence such Lenders Loans. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note(s) for such Loans payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, such Loans evidenced
by such Note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more Notes, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation. Each Borrower authorizes the applicable Lenders and the
Global Administrative Agent to extend Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons that the Global Administrative Agent or Lender in good faith believes to be acting
on behalf of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Global Administrative Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer, if such confirmation is requested by the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender, of
each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Global Administrative Agent and Lenders, (i) the telephonic notice shall govern absent manifest error and (ii) the Global
Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Authorizing Officer who provided such confirmation of such difference.
29
2.14 Promise to Pay; Interest and Fees; Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis;
Loan Accounts.
(A) Promise to Pay. Each Borrower unconditionally promises to pay when due the principal amount of
each Loan made to it and all other Obligations incurred by it, and to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(B) Interest Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the date hereof, and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed Rate
Loan is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Loan having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such
Interest Period. Interest accrued on each Bid Rate Loan shall be payable as provided in Section 2.10(g). Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be payable in arrears (i) upon repayment thereof in
full, (ii) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (iii) if not theretofore paid in full, on demand, commencing on the first such day following
the date such Obligation became payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(C) Fees.
The relevant Borrowers shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, pay to the Global Administrative Agent, for the account of each relevant Lender in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, on arrangements satisfactory to Harley and the
Global Administrative Agent, a commitment fee accruing at the rate of the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate per annum from and after the date hereof until the Termination Date on the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Commitment during a
given calendar quarter calculated on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter. All such commitment fees payable under this clause (C) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December occurring after the date hereof and, in addition, on the Termination Date.
(D) Interest and Fee Basis.
Interest on all Loans (other than Base Rate Loans with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate) and all fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on Base Rate
Loans with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year or, when appropriate, 366-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an
Obligation is incurred but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received by the times and in the offices required under Section 2.12. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan or any payment of any
other Obligations shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment.
(E) Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts (a Loan Account) evidencing the Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time hereunder.
(F) Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, unless any Borrower objects to information contained in the Register and each Loan Account within thirty (30) days of such Borrowers receipt of such information.
2.15 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Aggregate Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof,
the Global Administrative Agent will notify each relevant Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice,
30
Continuation/Conversion Notice, repayment notice and Term Loan Conversion Notice received by it hereunder. The Global Administrative Agent will notify each relevant Lender of the interest rate
applicable to each Fixed Rate Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate.
2.16 Lending Installations. Each
Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation reasonably selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and any Notes shall be
deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or facsimile notice to the Global Administrative Agent and Harley, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for
whose account Loan payments are to be made.
2.17 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Global Administrative Agent. Unless a
Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Global Administrative Agent prior to the date (or time, in the case of a Floating Rate Loan) on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent of (i) in the case
of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Global Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Global
Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Global Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender
or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Global Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Global Administrative Agent, repay to the Global Administrative Agent the amount so made
available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Global Administrative Agent until the date the Global Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a
rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan (including without limitation
pursuant to Section 2.11 if applicable).
2.18 Maturity Date. This Agreement shall be effective until the
Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement on the Maturity Date, until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity and reimbursement obligations, to the extent such obligations have not accrued) shall have been
fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements under the Loan Documents among the Borrowers and the Lenders shall have been terminated, all of the rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive.
ARTICLE III CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
3.1 Yield Protection. If any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) adopted after the date of this Agreement and having general applicability to all banks within the jurisdiction in which such Lender operates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of and phasing
in of capital requirements or other regulations or guidelines passed prior to the date of this Agreement), or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof, or the
compliance of any Lender therewith (any of the foregoing, a Change in Law),
(i) subjects
any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from any Borrower (excluding Excluded Taxes), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender in respect of its Loans or
other amounts due it hereunder; provided, that this clause (i) shall not apply with respect to any Taxes to which Section 3.5 applies, or
31
(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans, or
(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending
Installation of making, funding or maintaining the Fixed Rate Loans or reduces any amount received by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with Fixed Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending
Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Loans held or interest or fee received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Loans or to reduce
any amount received under this Agreement, then, within 15 days after receipt by the relevant Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 3.6, such Borrower shall pay such Lender that portion of such increased expense
incurred or reduction in an amount received which such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans and its Commitment.
3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines (i) the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (as defined below), and (ii) such increase in capital will result in an increase in
the cost to such Lender of maintaining its Loans or its obligation to make Loans hereunder, then, within 15 days after receipt by the relevant Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 3.6, such Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans or its obligation to make Loans hereunder
(after taking into account such Lenders policies as to capital adequacy). Change means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (as defined below) excluding, for
the avoidance of doubt, the effect of any phasing in of such Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or any other capital requirements, in each case passed prior to the date hereof, or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement and having general applicability to all banks and financial institutions within the
jurisdiction in which such Lender operates which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities
outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Entitled International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, including transition rules, and any amendments to
such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement and including, for the avoidance of doubt, the recommendations set out in the report entitled Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A
Revised Framework, which was published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on June 26, 2004 and the European Commission proposal (COM (2004) 486) of July 14, 2004.
3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. (a) If (i) any Lender determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans
at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or (ii) the Required Lenders with respect to Fixed Rate Advances determine that (x) deposits of a
type, currency and maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are not available or (y) the interest rate applicable to a Fixed Rate Advance
32
does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such a Fixed Rate Advance, then the Global Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Fixed Rate Advances of the affected
Type and, in the case of any occurrence set forth in clause (i), require any affected Fixed Rate Advances to be repaid or, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the option of the applicable U.S. Borrower, converted to Base Rate Advances.
(b) If the Index is unavailable (prior to the Loan Conversion Date, if any), (i) the Global Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such unavailability, (ii) the Borrowers and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon an alternative method for establishing the Applicable Margin, (iii) each Eurodollar Rate Advance
will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Floating Rate Advance, and (iv) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended
until the earlier of the time that (x) the Global Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the Index is available or (y) the Borrowers and the Lenders agree on an alternative method for establishing the
Applicable Margin; provided that (A) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances and Floating Rate Advances during the period of the first 60 days after the notification by the Global Administrative Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders of
the unavailability of the Index and an alternative method for determining the Applicable Margin has not been agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Lenders, the Applicable Margin and Floating Rate Margin shall be based on an Applicable Margin and
Floating Rate Margin, respectively, based on the Index in effect on the day immediately prior to the unavailability of the Index and (B) after such 60-day period if the Index remains unavailable and an alternative method for determining the
Applicable Margin has not been agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Lenders, the Applicable Margin and the Floating Rate Margin, as calculated pursuant to the foregoing clause (A), shall be increased by (i) 0.25% on the first date following the
expiration of such 60-day period (the Rate Increase Date) and (ii) an additional 0.25% on each succeeding 90-day anniversary of the Rate Increase Date, in each case so long as the Index remains unavailable and an
alternative method for determining the Applicable Margin has not been agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (b) shall be of no further force or effect on and after the Loan Conversion Date,
if any.
3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Fixed Rate Advance or Bid Rate Advance occurs on a date which
is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of a Fixed Rate Advance or the applicable maturity date in the case of a Bid Rate Advance, whether because of acceleration, prepayment, assignment (to the extent such assignment is
effected pursuant to Section 3.8) or otherwise, or a Fixed Rate Advance or Bid Rate Advance is not made or continued on the date specified by any Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, Harley and such Borrower agrees
to indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost (including lost profits) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Fixed Rate Advance or
Bid Rate Advance, as the case may be.
3.5 Taxes. (i) Unless such deduction is required by applicable law, all
payments by any Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If any Borrower or any
Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, then, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 3.5,
(a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Global Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall make such deductions, (c) such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall furnish to the Global Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof.
33
(ii) In addition, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 3.5,
each Borrower and Guarantor hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder by the relevant Borrower or Guarantor to
the relevant Lender, or under any Note but excluding any such taxes, charges or levies in respect of any assignment, sale or transfer or participation by any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent or from the execution or delivery of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (Other Taxes).
(iii) Each Borrower and Guarantor
hereby agree to indemnify the Global Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the
Global Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that each Borrower and Guarantor shall not be required to so indemnify to the extent
any relevant amount is actually compensated for under any other provision of this Agreement. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor
pursuant to Section 3.6.
(iv) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or
fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Syndicated Global Lender, such Lender to the extent it is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a Non-U.S. Lender) agrees that it
will deliver to each of Harley, each Guarantor and the Global Administrative Agent (1) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or (2) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is fiscally transparent, a copy of IRS Form W-8IMY together with the applicable accompanying forms, W-8 or W-9, as the case
may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax (such certificate, an Exemption Certificate). Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of Harley and the Global
Administrative Agent (i) two renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (ii) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by Harley, any Guarantor or the Global Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that
such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred
prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender
advises Harley, the Guarantors and the Global Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
(v) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide Harley or the Guarantors with an appropriate form or Exemption
Certificate pursuant to clause (iv) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date
on which a form or Exemption Certificate originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided
that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or Exemption Certificate required under clause (iv), above, Harley
or the Guarantors shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

(x) [Reserved]
(xi) If a Borrower or Guarantor pays an amount under this Section 3.5, or is required to make a deduction or withholding in
relation to a payment hereunder or under any Note and account for the same to the relevant tax authority, which gives or may give rise to a Tax Credit for the recipient of that payment (the Recipient), the Recipient shall,
promptly upon utilisation or receipt of such Tax Credit, pay an amount to such Borrower or the relevant Guarantor which will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the original amount paid under
this Section 3.5 (or withheld or deducted pursuant to applicable law) not been required to have been made, withheld or deducted; provided that nothing in this clause (xi) shall require any Lender to make available its
tax return (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential).
(xii) If (i) a Lender or the
Global Administrative Agent assigns, transfers or sells all or any portion of its rights and/or delegates all or any portion of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or changes its Lending Installation for the purposes of
this Agreement, and (ii) as a direct result of circumstances existing at the date of the assignment, transfer, sale, delegation or change, any Borrower or Guarantor would be obliged to pay any incremental amount under this
Section 3.5, then the transferee or Lender acting through its new Lending Installation shall only be entitled to receive payment under this Section 3.5 to the same extent that the previous Lender or the Lender acting through
its previous Lending Installation would have been entitled if no such transaction had taken place. If a Lender sells a participation in all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the participant
shall only be entitled to receive payment under this Section 3.5 to the extent that the Lender selling the participation would have been entitled if no such participation had taken place.
3.6 Mitigation; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an
alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the relevant Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under
Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender requiring compensation pursuant to this Article III shall notify the relevant Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent in
writing of any Change, law, policy, rule, guideline or directive giving rise to such demand for compensation; provided that the relevant Borrower or Guarantor shall not be required to pay such amounts to the extent such amounts accrued prior to the
date that is 180 days prior to the date of such notice; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such amounts are retroactive, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Any
demand for compensation pursuant to this Article III shall be in writing and shall state the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 and shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations
upon which such Lender determined such amount. Such written demand shall be rebuttably presumed correct for all purposes. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each
Lender funded its
35
Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the applicable fixed rate of interest with
respect to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. The obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this
Agreement.
3.7 [Reserved]
3.8 Replacement of Affected Lenders. If, any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.2, or if any
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 3.5, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then Harley may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Global Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.3), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Bid
Rate Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) in the case of an assignment to an assignee which is not a Lender,
Harley shall have received the prior written consent of the Global Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
(other than Bid Rate Loans) and participations in the relevant Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees)
or Harley (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 3.1 or 3.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5,
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments with respect to the assignee Lender.

ARTICLE VIII ACCELERATION, DEFAULTING LENDERS; WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
8.1 Remedies
(a) Termination of Commitments; Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.1(e) occurs with
respect to any Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Global Administrative Agent
or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders may (i) terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder or (ii) declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, and upon any declaration under clause
(ii), the Commitments shall terminate and the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower expressly waives.
49
(b) Rescission. If, at any time after termination of the
Lenders obligations to make Loans but before acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the relevant Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Defaults and Unmatured Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the
Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 8.3, then upon the written consent of the Required Lenders and written notice to Harley, the termination of Lenders respective
obligations to make Loans or the aforesaid acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or Unmatured Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions
of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Required Lenders; they are not intended to benefit any Borrower and do not give any Borrower the right to require the Lenders to
rescind or annul any termination of the aforesaid obligations of the Lenders or any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.
8.2 Defaulting Lender. In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Global Advance requested or
deemed requested by the applicable Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such Advance being hereinafter referred to as a Non Pro Rata Loan) or any Lender otherwise
becomes a Defaulting Lender, until the earlier of such Lenders cure of such failure and the termination of the Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Global Administrative Agent by any Borrower and otherwise required
to be applied to such Lenders share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced to the applicable Borrower by the Global Administrative Agent (Cure Loans) on behalf of such Lender to
cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:
(i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 shall apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of
Obligations and shall not affect the conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to Section 2.8;
(ii) any Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Global
Advance at such time as an amount equal to such Defaulting Lenders original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal portion of such Advance is fully funded to the applicable Borrower, whether made by such Defaulting Lender itself or by
operation of the terms of this Section 8.2, and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid, converted or continued;
(iii) amounts advanced to any Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any such Defaulting Lenders failure to fund its
Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Global Advance shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Syndicated Global Loans which are Base Rate Loans, in effect from time to time, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they
were Base Rate Loans;
(iv) regardless of whether or not a Default has occurred or is continuing, and
notwithstanding the instructions of any Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement, would be applied to the outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be applied
first, ratably to all Base Rate Loans constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to Base Rate Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, third, ratably to Base Rate Loans constituting Cure
Loans;
50
(v) for so long as and until the earlier of any such Defaulting
Lenders cure of all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender and the termination of the Commitments, the term Required Lenders for purposes of this Agreement shall mean Lenders (excluding all Defaulting Lenders)
whose Pro Rata Shares represent greater than fifty-one percent (51%) of the aggregate Pro Rata Shares of such Lenders; and
(vi) for so long as and until any such Defaulting Lenders cure of all matters that caused such Lender to be a
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any fees with respect to its Commitment, which fees shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders and shall be allocated among such Lenders ratably based upon
their relative Commitments.
8.3 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or
the Global Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby:
(i) postpone or extend the Termination Date (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the consummation of the conversion to
the Term Loan as contemplated by Section 2.2), the Maturity Date or any other date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (except with respect to a waiver of
the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof);
(ii) reduce the
principal amount of any Loans, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or other amounts payable hereunder;
(iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other percentage or number of Lenders
specified to be the applicable percentage or number in this Agreement to act on specified matters or amend the definitions of Required Lenders or Pro Rata Share;
(iv) increase the amount of the Commitment of any Syndicated Global Lender or increase any Lenders Pro Rata Share;
(v) permit any Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement;
(vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Support Agreement, release Harley from any of its obligations under
the Support Agreement or otherwise terminate the Support Agreement;
(vii) release any Guarantor other than in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;
(viii) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of
principal, interest or other amounts under the Loan Documents shall be applied as among the Lenders; or
(ix)
amend this Section 8.3.
51
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Global Administrative Agent
shall be effective without the written consent of the Global Administrative Agent. The Global Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.3(B) without obtaining the consent of any of the Lenders or
Borrowers.
If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of the Lenders,
each Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained
being referred to herein as a Non-Consenting Lender), then Harley may (at its sole cost and expense) elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such
replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to Harley and the Global Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender
pursuant to an assignment and assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of
Section 13.3(A), and with Harley or such replacement Lender paying the $3,500 processing fee required in Section 13.3(B) and (ii) Harley shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such
replacement (1) all principal, interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by any Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such
Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of
such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
8.4 Preservation of
Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a
Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required
pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Global Administrative
Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE X THE GLOBAL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is appointed by the Lenders (each reference in this Article
X to a Lender being in its capacity as a Lender) as the Global Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Global Administrative Agent to act as the contractual
representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Global Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this
Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term Global Administrative Agent, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Global Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason
of this Agreement and that the Global Administrative Agent is merely acting as the representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders
contractual representative, the Global Administrative Agent (i) does not assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, and (ii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set
forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders agrees to assert no claim against the Global Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each
Lender waives.
10.2 Powers. The Global Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan
Documents as are specifically delegated to the Global Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Global Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties or fiduciary duties
to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents required to be taken by the Global Administrative Agent. The Global

Documents required to be taken by the Global Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Global Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide the notice contemplated by Section 7.1(b) if so requested by the Required
Lenders.
10.3 General Immunity. Neither the Global Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable to any of the Borrowers or Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is
found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or (ii) breach of contract by such Person with respect to the Loan
Documents.
10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Creditworthiness, Recitals, Etc. Neither the Global Administrative Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing
hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any
56
condition specified in Article IV (other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Global Administrative Agent on the Closing Date pursuant to
Section 4.1); (iv) the existence or possible existence of any Default or (v) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Global
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability,
collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of Harley, any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations, any Company or any of their
Subsidiaries.
10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Global Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (except with respect to actions that require the consent of all of the Lenders as
provided in Section 8.3), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes. The Global Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking
or continuing to take any such action.
10.6 Employment of the Global Administrative Agent and Counsel. The Global
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, affiliates and attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received
by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Global Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement
among the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Global Administrative Agents duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, 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, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected
by the Global Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Global Administrative Agent.
10.8 The Global
Administrative Agents Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Global Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (determined at the time such indemnity is
sought) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by any Borrower for which the Global Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement or indemnification by any Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the
Global Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, distribution (including via the internet) and enforcement of the Loan Documents, including as a result of a dispute among
the Lenders or between any Lender and the Global Administrative Agent, and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Global Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the
enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, including as a result of a dispute among the Lenders or between any Lender and the Global Administrative Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Global Administrative Agent.
57
10.9 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment, Loans made by it and any
Notes issued to it, the Global Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Global Administrative Agent, as applicable, and
the term Lender or Lenders, as applicable, shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Global Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Global Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend
money to and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Harley, any Company or any of their Subsidiaries in which such Person is not
prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.
10.10 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Global Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Global Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.11 Successor Global Administrative Agent. The Global Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Global Administrative Agent. If no successor Global Administrative Agent shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring Global Administrative Agents giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Global Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf
of the Lenders, a successor Global Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, each such successor Global Administrative Agent shall be subject to approval by Harley,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such successor Global Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank (including a branch thereof) having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as the Global Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Global Administrative Agent, such successor Global Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Global Administrative Agent, and the retiring Global Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Global Administrative Agents resignation
hereunder as the Global Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Global Administrative Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a co-agent, documentation agent or syndication agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than
those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as
it makes with respect to the Global Administrative Agent in Section 10.10.
58
ARTICLE XI SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and
is continuing, any indebtedness from any Lender to any Company (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such
Lender and the other Obligations, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.
11.2 Ratable
Payments. If any Syndicated Global Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Syndicated Global Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater
proportion than that received by any other Syndicated Global Lender, such Syndicated Global Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Syndicated Global Loans held by the other Syndicated Global Lenders so that after such
purchase each Syndicated Global Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Syndicated Global Loans. If any Syndicated Global Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or
other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Syndicated Global Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Syndicated Global Lenders share in the benefits of such
collateral ratably in proportion to their Syndicated Global Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
ARTICLE XII GUARANTEE
In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit hereunder, but subject to the provisions of the final paragraph of this Article
XII, each Guarantor fully and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, the Obligations (including, without limitation, interest accruing
hereunder after the commencement of any case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or legislation in any country in which a Company is organized, whether or not allowed as a claim in such case). The
obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XII are sometimes referred to as the Guarantee. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further
assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its Guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation.
Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives
notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, or, except as specifically provided therein, by any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the
terms or provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other agreement.
Each Guarantor further agrees
that its Guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in
favor of any Borrower or any other person.
Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be
unconditional, irrespective of:
(i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance, novation or subordination of any
of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents;
59
(ii) the absence of any attempt by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the
Global Administrative Agent to collect, or to take any other action to enforce, all or any part of the Obligations whether from or against any Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person;
(iii) the election of any remedy by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent with respect to all or
any part of the Obligations;
(iv) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence
by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent with respect to any provision of any of the Loan Documents;
(v) the failure of the Global Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or
to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations;
(vi) the election by, or on behalf
of, any one or more of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (the Bankruptcy Code) or other
bankruptcy-related rules or legislation in any country in which a Company is organized, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;
(vii) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Company, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or regulations in any country in which a Borrower is organized;
(viii) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or
regulations in any country in which a Company is organized, of all or any portion of the claims of any of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Obligations; or
(ix) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower or
any Guarantor.
The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or
termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance
of the Obligations or otherwise. The Lenders, either themselves or acting through the Global Administrative Agent, are authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, from time to time,
(a) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the Obligations, or to otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (b) to accept
partial payments on all or any part of the Obligations; (c) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, this Guarantee, or any other guaranties of all or any part of the Obligations,
(d) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (e) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in their discretion they may determine; (f) to settle, release,
exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of the Obligations, this Guarantee, any other guaranty of all or any part of the Obligations, and any security or collateral for the Obligations or for any such
guaranty.
60
The Guarantors consent and agree that none of the Lenders nor the Global Administrative
Agent nor any Person acting for or on behalf of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The Guarantors
further agree that, to the extent that any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations makes a payment or payments to any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, or any Lender or the Global Administrative
Agent receives any proceeds of collateral for all or any part of the Obligations, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to any
Borrower, such Guarantor, such other guarantor or any other Person, or their respective estates, trustees, receivers or any other party, under any bankruptcy law, state, provincial or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent
of such payment or repayment, the part of the Obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or
satisfaction.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Global Administrative Agent
or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of
prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Global Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, the amount of such unpaid Obligations. The Guarantors further agree,
jointly and severally, that if payment in respect of any of the Obligations owed to any Lender shall be due at a place of payment other than as designated in this Agreement and if, by reason of any Change in Law (as defined in Section 3.1), war
or civil disturbance or other event, such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the judgment of such Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of such Lender, the Guarantors shall make payment
of such Obligation in the applicable place designated in this Agreement, and shall indemnify such Lender against any losses or expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.
Until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Guarantors (i) shall have no
right of subrogation with respect to such Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them) now have or may hereafter have against any Borrower, any endorser or any
guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations or any other Person, and the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them) to
secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them).
This Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect and may not be terminated or otherwise revoked until the Obligations shall have
been fully paid (in cash) and discharged and this Agreement and all financing arrangements between any Borrower, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been terminated; provided that if a Guarantor is merged or
consolidated with another Company pursuant to Section 6.2.3 or if the capital stock of a Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (as in effect on the
Closing Date), such Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantors (or any of them) shall have any right under applicable law to terminate or revoke
this Guarantee, the Guarantors agree that such termination or revocation shall not be effective until a written notice of such revocation or termination, specifically referring hereto, signed by the Guarantors, is actually received by the Global
Administrative Agent. Such notice shall not affect the right and power of any of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent to enforce rights arising prior to receipt thereof by the Global Administrative Agent. If any Lender grants loans or
takes other action after a Guarantor terminates or revokes this Guarantee but before the Global Administrative Agent
61
receives such written notice, the rights of such Lender with respect thereto shall be the same as if such termination or revocation had not occurred. The provisions of this Article XII shall
remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, until the Obligations shall have been fully paid (in cash) and discharged.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII to the contrary, on and after the Guaranty Ratings Threshold Date, (i) the
cross-guarantee obligations of each Borrower in respect of the Loans made to, and any other obligations of, the other Borrower pursuant to this Article XII shall be automatically released and terminated, (ii) the obligations of the Opco
Guarantors under this Article XII shall be solely in respect of the Loans made to, and any other Obligations of, Harley and (iii) the obligations of the Finco Guarantors under this Article XII shall be solely in respect of the Loans made to,
and any other Obligations of, HDFC.
ARTICLE XIII BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
13.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Companies, the Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Companies shall not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any
assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3 hereof. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section 13.1, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of any Borrower or the Global
Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.
The Global Administrative Agent may treat any Lender as the owner of the Loans for all purposes hereof unless and until such Lender complies with Section 13.3 hereof in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other
transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Global Administrative Agent. Any such assignee or transferee agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or
consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Loan, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Loan.
13.2 Participations.
(A) Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 13.2, any Lender may, in the
ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (Participants) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender or any Commitment of such
Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents on a pro rata basis. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lenders obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain
unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of all Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by any
Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and such Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lenders rights and obligations under the Loan Documents except that, for purposes of Article III hereof, the Participants shall be entitled to the same rights as if they were Lenders provided however that no Participant shall be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Article III than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights participated.
(B) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which involves an amendment, modification or waiver with
respect to a matter which, if such Participant were a Lender hereunder, would require the consent of such Lender under clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 8.3 hereof.
62
(C) Benefit of Setoff. The Companies agree that each Participant shall be deemed to
have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 hereof in respect to its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Lender under the Loan Documents; provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 hereof with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant except to the extent such
Participant exercises its right of set off. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 hereof, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received
pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.
13.3 Assignments.
(A) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any
time assign to one or more banks or other entities which is not (i) a competitor of any of the Companies or (ii) a Person that is, or is owned or controlled by, a participant in the transportation industry (Purchasers)
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment and all Loans owing to it) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.3. Each assignment shall be of a constant,
and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the rights and obligations of any assigning Lender under this Agreement. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and shall not be permitted hereunder unless such
assignment is either for all of such Lenders rights and obligations under the Loan Documents or, except for assignments to another Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund, involves loans and commitments in an aggregate amount of at
least $5,000,000. Notice to the Global Administrative Agent shall be required prior to any assignment becoming effective and the consent of the Global Administrative Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required prior to any assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, notice to and consent of Harley (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund.
(B) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Global Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in
the form attached as Appendix I to Exhibit C hereto (a Notice of Assignment), together with any consents required by Section 13.3(A) hereof, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Global
Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that
none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are plan assets as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan
Documents will not be plan assets under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser, if not already a Lender, shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed
by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no consent or action by any of the Borrowers or the Lenders and no further consent or
action by the Global Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 13.3(B), the transferor Lender, the Global Administrative Agent and Harley shall, if requested by such transferor Lender or Purchaser, make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such
transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser.
63
(C) The Register. The Global Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address
referred to in Section 14.1 a copy of each assignment delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to this Section 13.3 and a register (the Register) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the Commitment of and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an assignment under this Section 13.3.
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
13.4 Confidentiality. (i) Subject to Section 13.5, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall hold
confidential (A) all nonpublic information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement and (B) except as otherwise permitted by Harley, all information related to the Licensed Marks (as defined in Section 13.6)) and
all other information which a reasonable person would deem to be confidential and/or proprietary in light of the nature of the information and the manner in which it was disclosed; provided that the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may each make disclosure (1) to its and its Affiliates directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential and the Global Administrative Agent and each Lender, as applicable, shall be responsible for breach by its respective affiliated Persons to
which the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender made such disclosure), (2) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (6) subject to a written agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (a) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (b) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (7) with the prior written consent of Harley or
(8) to the extent such information (a) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (b) becomes available to the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Companies. In no event shall the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Harley, the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries; provided, however, each
prospective Transferee shall be required to agree that if it does not become a participant or assignee it shall return all materials furnished to it by or on behalf of Harley or any Company in connection with this Agreement.
(ii) (A) To the extent that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Title V/Privacy (collectively with the related implementing regulations, the
GLBA), shall be applicable to the transactions contemplated herein, each of the parties hereto agrees that (1) it shall use all non-public personal information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement solely
for the purposes for which the information is disclosed or as otherwise permitted in conformance with the requirements of the GLBA and (2) it shall maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same extent as described in
Section 13.4(i). This clause shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
64
(B) In the event that the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably believes that
any physical and/or electronic safeguards have been breached, and that non-public personal information has been obtained by persons and/or entities without authority to use or view such non-public personal information, the Global Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will notify HDFS and Harley, in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable. The Global Administrative Agent and each Lender shall also maintain commercially reasonable processes and procedures for the storage,
retention, and disposal of documents and storage media containing nonpublic personal information. Nothing in this clause shall be construed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any consumer or other holder of nonpublic personal
information. This clause shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(iii) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that
any breach of the aforesaid confidentiality obligations in this Section 13.4 is likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to HDFS and Harley. Therefore, HDFS and Harley shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its
interests, including but not limited to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Nothing stated herein will be construed to limit any other remedies available to the parties hereto. This section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
13.5 Dissemination of Information. Each of the Companies authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a Transferee) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lenders
possession concerning the Companies and their Subsidiaries; provided that prior to any such disclosure, such prospective Transferee shall agree in writing to preserve in accordance with Section 13.4 the confidentiality of any
non-public information described therein.
13.6 Non-Use of HDFS Licensed Marks. (i) HDFS , Harley and their
affiliates have the right pursuant to licenses or otherwise to use certain trademarks, logos, etc. relating to Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, HDFS and their affiliates (the Licensed Marks). Except as permitted by the following
sentences, none of the Global Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates are authorized to use such Licensed Marks or Harleys or HDFSs text name and logo on forms, in legal documents, in advertising, marketing materials, in
press releases or any other document or material. In the event the Global Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates wish to use said Licensed Marks, such Person must obtain HDFSs and Harleys prior written approval,
which said approval is at HDFSs and Harleys sole and absolute discretion and subject to subsequent periodic review of such use and to such reasonable specifications of HDFS and Harley to the extent such specifications are directly
related to the legal maintenance, whether such is before or after lapse or termination of this Agreement. The Harley-Davidson text name, logo(s) and registered trademark are not to be used by the Global Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of
their Affiliates in any way before, during or after the term of this Agreement, unless prior written consent is obtained from HDFS and Harley. This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(ii) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that any breach of the aforestated non-use obligations in this Section 13.6 is
likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to HDFS and Harley. Therefore, in the event of any such breach, HDFS and Harley shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its interests, including but not limited to preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Nothing stated in this Section 13.6 shall be construed to limit any other remedies available to any party hereto.

SCHEDULE II
INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION TERMS
(i) The Borrowers agree that any and all claims of the Borrowers against any Guarantor with respect to any Guarantor Intercompany
Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and
in cash, of all Obligations; provided that, and not in contravention of the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing the Borrowers may make loans to and receive payments in the ordinary course with respect to such Guarantor
Intercompany Indebtedness from any Guarantor to the extent permitted by the terms of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any right of the Borrowers to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Guarantor, all
rights, liens and security interests of the Borrowers, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any Guarantor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the holders of the Obligations and the Global
Administrative Agent in those assets. Except as otherwise permitted above, the Borrowers shall not have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of
the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and the Hedging Obligations owing to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof (such Hedging Obligations, the Hedging Liabilities) shall have been fully paid and satisfied
(in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (or any affiliate thereof) have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of any Guarantor, or the proceeds
thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Guarantor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for
the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of such Guarantor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an
Insolvency Event), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness (excepting indebtedness for fees
and other administrative charges, if any, as may from time to time accrue in the ordinary course of business) of any Guarantor to the Borrowers (Guarantor Intercompany Indebtedness) shall be paid or delivered directly to the
Global Administrative Agent for application on any of the Obligations and Hedging Liabilities, due or to become due, until such Obligations and Hedging Liabilities (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have first been fully paid and
satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the Borrowers upon or with respect to any Guarantor Intercompany Indebtedness after an Insolvency Event prior to the satisfaction of all
of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and Hedging Liabilities and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (and their affiliates),
the Borrowers shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Global Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such
Persons, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Borrowers where necessary), for application to any of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be
held in trust by the Borrowers as the property of
the holders of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities. If the Borrowers fail to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Global Administrative Agent, the Global Administrative Agent
or any of its officers or employees are irrevocably authorized to make the same. The Borrowers agree that until the Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) and such Hedging Liabilities have been paid in full (in cash) and
satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (and their affiliates) have been terminated, the Borrowers will not assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Global
Administrative Agent) any claim the Borrowers have or may have against any Guarantor.
(ii) Each Guarantor agrees that any and
all claims of such Guarantor against the Borrowers with respect to any Borrower Intercompany Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or against any of its
properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Obligations; provided that, and not in contravention of the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing each
Guarantor may make loans to and receive payments in the ordinary course with respect to such Borrower Intercompany Indebtedness from the Borrowers to the extent permitted by the terms of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from the Borrowers, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of the Borrowers
shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the holders of the Obligations and the Global Administrative Agent in those assets. Except as otherwise permitted above, no Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose
upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and the Hedging Liabilities shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing
arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of Obligations (or any affiliate thereof) have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of the Borrowers, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any
distribution, division or application to the creditors of the Borrowers, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or
any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any of the Borrowers is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any of the Borrowers are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an
Insolvency Event), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness (excepting indebtedness for fees
and other administrative charges, if any, as may from time to time accrue in the ordinary course of business) of the Borrowers to any Guarantor (Borrower Intercompany Indebtedness) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Global
Administrative Agent for application on any of the Obligations and Hedging Liabilities, due or to become due, until such Obligations and Hedging Liabilities (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have first been fully paid and satisfied
(in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by any Guarantor upon or with respect to any Borrower Intercompany Indebtedness after an Insolvency Event prior to the satisfaction of all of the
Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and Hedging Liabilities and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (and their affiliates), the
applicable Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in
trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Global Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such
Persons, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be
held in trust by such Guarantor as the property of the holders of the Obligations and such Hedging Liabilities. If any Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Global Administrative Agent, the Global Administrative Agent or
any of its officers or employees are irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Guarantor agrees that until the Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) and such Hedging Liabilities have been paid in full (in cash) and
satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the holders of the Obligations (and their affiliates) have been terminated, such Guarantor will not assign or transfer to any Person (other than the
Global Administrative Agent) any claim such Guarantor has or may have against the Borrowers.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOANS
SECTION 2.01. The Loan Facility.
(a) Generally. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each Conduit Lender may in its sole discretion make, and each
Committed Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make (if the Conduit Lender in its related Group elects not to make), Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any day during the Revolving Period, but no more than once a week, in an amount in
respect of any Lender Group not to exceed at any time its Lender Groups Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitment. No Lender shall be required to extend its portion of any Advance hereunder, and no Advance shall be extended, if:
(i) such Lenders portion of any requested Advance would exceed its Pro Rata Share of such Advance or such
Lenders Lending Groups portion of such Advance would exceed its Pro Rata share of the Aggregate Commitment;
29
(ii) if such Lender is a Conduit Lender, the extension of the related Loan
would result in the aggregate principal amount of the Loans extended by such Conduit Lender exceeding its Conduit Lending Limit, or if such Lender is a Committed Lender, the extension of the related Loan would result in the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans extended by such Committed Lender exceeding its Commitment;
(iii) the Termination Date has
occurred; or
(iv) any condition to making such Advance set forth in Article III shall not have been
satisfied.
Subject to the terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and
reborrow Loans during the Revolving Period. The Loans shall be secured by the Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16. Collections received in respect of the Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.08.
(b) Conduit Lender Participation. On or prior to each Borrowing Date, each Conduit Lender
shall advise its related Administrative Agent as to whether and the extent to which it shall participate in the making of the Loan to be made by its Lender Group on such Borrowing Date. The related Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrower, the Program Agent and the Committed Lenders in its Lender Group of such Conduit Lenders election. At no time will a Conduit Lender be obligated to make all or any portion of any Loan to be made by its Lender Group hereunder.
(c) Committed Lenders Commitment.
(i) If a Conduit Lender elects not to make all or any portion of the Loan to be made by its Lender Group, the same shall
be made by the Committed Lenders in its Lender Group on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(ii) The obligation of any Committed Lender to make its ratable portion of any Advance hereunder is several from the
obligation of any other Committed Lender (whether or not in the same Lender Group). The failure of any Committed Lender to make its ratable portion of any Advance hereunder shall not release the obligation of any other Committed Lender (whether or
not in the same Lender Group) to make its ratable portion of any Advance hereunder, but no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender to make its ratable portion of any Advance hereunder.
SECTION 2.02. Making the Advance.
(a) Each Advance made under this Article II shall consist of the Loans made by each Lender Group ratably in proportion to such
Lender Groups respective Pro Rata Share and shall be made pursuant to a Borrowing Notice issued by the Borrower to the Administrative Agents and the Hedge Counterparties. To be effective, a Borrowing Notice must be received by each
Administrative Agent not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date; provided that the initial Borrowing Notice issued by the Borrower hereunder may be issued to the Administrative Agents on the Effective Date.
Each Administrative Agent shall forward each Borrowing Notice to the Lenders in its Lender Group. Each Borrowing Notice shall, except as set forth below, be irrevocable and shall specify:
(i) the new Contracts being pledged in connection with such Advance (the New Contracts),
30
(ii) the requested aggregate principal amount of such Advance and the amount
of the Loan,
(iii) the Borrowing Date,
(iv) the Cutoff Date in respect of the New Contracts,
(v) the initial Tranche Period and Rate Type requested by the Borrower, and
(vi) the Hedging Rate existing under the Hedge Agreements for the Loans to be made by each Lender Group on such Borrowing
Date, which Hedging Rate shall be used in the calculation of the Yield Supplement Overcollateralization Amount in respect of the New Contracts.
On each Borrowing Date, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article III, and so long as such Advance does not
otherwise violate the terms and conditions hereof, each Conduit Lender or each Committed Lender, as applicable, shall remit to the account specified by the Administrative Agent in its Lender Group by wire transfer in same day funds at such time as
shall enable such Administrative Agent to remit such funds to the Borrower by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date, an amount equal to (1) in the case of a Conduit Lender, its Lender Groups Pro Rata Share of the Advance,
and (2) in the case of a Committed Lender, its individual Pro Rata Share thereof. Upon receipt of such funds, each Administrative Agent shall by 12:00 pm (New York City time) on such Borrowing Date initiate a wire transfer of same day funds in
such amount to account #35099879 maintained on behalf of the Borrower at The Northern Trust Company (the NTC Account); provided that, with respect to the funds remitted to the Administrative Agent of the JPMorgan Lender
Group in respect of such Advance, such Administrative Agent shall (x) deposit or cause to be deposited in the Reserve Account a portion of such funds, to the extent available, up to the amount necessary to cause the funds then held in the
Reserve Account to equal the Minimum Reserve Amount after giving effect to such Advance, and (y) initiate a wire transfer of the balance of such funds, if any, to the NTC Account. Upon the making of such wire transfers and deposits, each Lender
Group shall be deemed to have extended its Loan to the Borrower as part of such Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
initial Advance hereunder shall be disbursed in the following manner: (i) in the case of each of the Lender Groups of which JPMorgan and CNAI is Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of its Lender Groups
Pro Rata Share of the initial Advance to the Borrower Obligations then owing such Lender Group under the Existing Credit Agreement, (ii) in the case of each other Lender Group, the Administrative Agent of such Lender Group shall
remit the proceeds of such Lender Groups Pro Rata Share of the initial Advance to the Program Agent, and (iii) the Program Agent shall
31
distribute funds received by it from the Administrative Agents of such other Lender Groups to (A) JPMorgan and CNAI, for application to the Borrower Obligations then outstanding
under the Existing Credit Agreement, (B) the Program Agent, for deposit to the Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Minimum Reserve Amount, and (C) the Borrower, to the extent of any balance remaining. Upon the making of such
disbursements in accordance with the foregoing, each Lender Group shall be deemed to have extended its Pro Rata Share of the initial Advance to the Borrower.
(b) Borrowing Notice Irrevocable. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. The Borrower shall
reimburse each Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or prior to the Borrowing Date specified in such Borrowing Notice the applicable conditions set forth in Article III or any other
term or condition described in this Agreement, including any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of funds acquired by such Lender to fund its Loan when the Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on
such date.
(c) Extension of the Maturity Date. The Borrower may request, no more frequently than once each year, by
delivering written notice to the Administrative Agents and the Program Agent, that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date for an additional 364 days, with such extension to become effective as of and from the date all of the Lenders consenting thereto
shall in their sole discretion consent to such extension. The Administrative Agents will forward such requests to the Lenders in their respective Lender Groups. Any such request shall be subject to the following conditions: (w) at no time shall
any Commitment have a term of more than 364 days and, if any such request would result in a term of more than 364 days, such request shall be deemed to have been made for such number of days so that, after giving effect to such extension on the date
requested, such term will not exceed 364 days, (x) none of the Lenders will have any obligation to extend any Commitment, (y) if fewer than all of the Lenders agree to extend the Maturity Date at such time, then any such extension of the
Maturity Date will be effective only if (1) those Lenders who initially agreed to extend the Maturity Date for an additional 364 days subsequently reaffirm their agreement to extend, acknowledging that it would then be without the participation
of the non-extending Lenders, and (2) the Borrower shall have made payment in full of the principal balance of the Loans together with all other Borrower Obligations accrued hereunder and owing to each of the non-extending Lenders and their
related Lender Groups on the Maturity Date in effect prior to such extension, and (z) any request for such extension shall be made not more than sixty (60) days prior to the then effective Maturity Date. Each Administrative Agent shall
respond to such request in writing, on behalf of the Lenders in its Lender Group (with a copy to the Program Agent), within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request; provided that if such request was received less than thirty
(30) days prior to the then effective Maturity Date, each Administrative Agent shall be given at least ten (10) days to respond thereto (meaning that no such request may be delivered fewer than ten (10) days before the Maturity Date).
Any Administrative Agents failure for any reason to respond to such a request within the applicable time period shall be deemed a rejection of the requested extension by the Lenders in its Lender Group. In the case of any Lender that shall not
have agreed to (or been deemed to have rejected) an extension request, the Principal Balance of all Loans made by such Lender, together with all Borrower Obligations accrued hereunder and owing to such Lender shall be due and payable in full to such
Lender on the Maturity Date that shall have been in effect at the time the request by the Borrower for an extension was made.
32
SECTION 2.03. Reduction in the Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower may, on any
Settlement Date prior to the Maturity Date on not less than ten (10) days prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agents, (i) prepay in whole all of the outstanding Borrower Obligations, together with any additional
amount as may be necessary to pay all amounts, including any termination payments, due to the Hedge Counterparties on such Settlement Date as a result of such prepayment, or (ii) permanently reduce in part (ratably among the Committed Lenders)
that portion of the Aggregate Commitment that exceeds the Aggregate Principal Balance (the Unused Commitment). Any such reduction in the Aggregate Commitment shall be applied ratably to the Lenders and shall result in reductions
of each of the Commitments, the Conduit Lending Limits and the Lender Group Limits based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of the applicable reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may elect to reduce the Unused Commitment of any
Defaulting Lender prior to reducing the Aggregate Commitment ratably among the non-defaulting Committed Lenders.
SECTION
2.04. Tranches.
(a) Generally. Each Loan shall be allocated to one or more Tranche Periods. Any portion of a
Loan having one Tranche Period and one Rate Type and held by one Lender is referred to herein as a Tranche. From time to time the Borrower shall select Tranche Periods and Rate Types with respect to Tranches funded by the
Committed Lenders, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Termination has occurred. At all times after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Termination, each Committed Lender shall select
the Tranche Periods and Rate Types with respect to the Tranches it funds hereunder. Either the Borrower or, following an Event of Termination, the applicable Lender, may, upon notice to the other party received at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the last day of any Tranche Period in the case of the Borrower giving notice, or up to the last day of such Tranche Period in the case of the Lender giving notice, either (i) divide any Tranche originating on such last day or having a
Tranche Period ending on such last day into two or more Tranches having an aggregate Principal Balance equal to the Principal Balance of such undivided Tranche, or (ii) combine any two or more Tranches originating on such last day or having
Tranche Periods ending on such last day into a single Tranche having a Principal Balance equal to the aggregate of the Principal Balance of such Tranches; provided, however, that no Tranche with respect to which Interest is determined
by reference to the CP Rate may be combined with a Tranche with respect to which Interest is determined by reference to the Alternative Rate, and a Tranche held by one Lender may not be combined with any Tranche held by any other Lender.
(b) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof by any relevant Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for any Lender, in its reasonable determination, to fund or maintain LIBOR Tranches as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the interbank
Eurodollar market the funds with which to make or maintain any such LIBOR Tranche, such Lender shall promptly notify the Program Agent, its Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof whereupon, until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the
Program Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which notice such Lender shall promptly give), (i) the obligation of such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Tranches shall forthwith be suspended and
(ii) such Lenders then outstanding LIBOR Tranches, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Tranche Period for such Tranches or within such
33
earlier period as required by Law into Base Rate Tranches. Before giving any notice to the Program Agent, its Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to this clause (b), such Lender
shall designate a different office as its lending office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(c) LIBO Rate Inadequate; Inability to Determine LIBO Rate. If prior to the commencement of any Tranche Period for a LIBOR
Tranche, either (i) the related Lender reasonably determines that the rate at which deposits of Dollars are being offered to such Lender in the London interbank market does not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of funding or
maintaining LIBOR Tranches for such Tranche Period or (ii) the related Lender is unable, after reasonable attempts, to obtain Dollars in the London interbank market to fund or maintain such Tranche for such Tranche Period, then such Lender
shall give notice thereof to the Borrower, its Administrative Agent and the Program Agent by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until such Lender notifies the Borrower, its Administrative Agent and the Program Agent
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which notice such Lender shall promptly give), (A) the obligations of such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Tranches shall be suspended, and (B) each outstanding LIBOR
Tranche funded by such Lender shall be converted into a Base Rate Tranche on the last day of the Tranche Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.05. Interest and Fees; Hedging. (a) The Borrower shall pay Interest on the Principal Balance of each Tranche, which
interest shall accrue for each day that such Principal Balance shall be outstanding.
(a) On each Settlement Date, the
Borrower shall pay to each Lender (or its related Administrative Agent) all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to all Tranches funded by such Lender during the related Monthly Period (or, in the case of a Provisional Settlement Date, all
accrued and unpaid Interest to such Settlement Date); provided that, in the case of any LIBOR Tranche, the Borrower shall, if so requested by the applicable Lender, pay to such Lender all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon on the last day of
the related Tranche Period.
(b) On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to each Administrative Agent an amount equal
to the sum of the Usage Fee and the Unused Fee, if any, accrued in respect of each day during the related Monthly Period (or, in the case of a Provisional Settlement Date, all accrued and unpaid Usage Fees and Unused Fees to such Settlement Date)
for the benefit of each Lender in such Administrative Agents Lender Group, which fees shall accrue on each day during the period from the Effective Date to the date the Loans shall be repaid in full as specified herein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Usage Fee shall not accrue on any day that the Default Rate shall then be in effect as the Interest Rate.
(c)
On or before the fifth Business Day prior to each Settlement Date (or, in the case of a Provisional Settlement Date, such notice as may be reasonably practicable under the circumstances), each Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders in its
Lender Group, shall furnish the Borrower with an invoice setting forth (i) the amount of the accrued and unpaid Interest and the calculation thereof for all Tranches funded by the Lenders in its Lender Group during the related Monthly Period
(or other applicable period), and (ii) the amount of the accrued and unpaid Usage Fee payable to the Lenders in such Administrative Agents Lender Group during such period.
34
(d) From and after the initial Borrowing Date, at all times that any Loan shall be
outstanding, the Borrower shall cause Eligible Hedging Agreements to be in place and to be maintained with Eligible Hedge Counterparties in respect of the Aggregate Principal Balance then outstanding. The Borrower shall confer with each
Administrative Agent as to the Hedge Agreements that shall correspond to the Loans made such Administrative Agents Lender Group. Each Hedge Agreement proposed to be effective on the initial Borrowing Date in respect of the Loans being made on
such date shall, if in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Syndication Agents, constitute an Eligible Hedge Agreement. Each new Hedge Agreement, and each amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified Hedge Agreement, that is
proposed to be effective at any time after the initial Borrowing Date shall constitute an Eligible Hedge Agreement if it is either (i) in form and substance substantially similar to the corresponding Hedge Agreement that shall have been in
effect on the initial Borrowing Date or (ii) otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Syndication Agents, with approval by the Syndication Agents not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Borrower shall
cause the Hedge Agreements in respect of all Loans made on the same Borrowing Date to be uniform in terms of cap rate, amortization schedule, and such other terms as otherwise necessary to cause each such Hedge Agreement to be in substantially the
same form such that no one Hedge Agreement contains material provisions which are more favorable than the provisions included in the other Hedge Agreements.
SECTION 2.06. Maturity Date. The Aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans together with other Borrower Obligations accrued
hereunder shall be due and payable in full, together with all Interest thereon accrued to such date, on the Maturity Date unless (i) earlier repaid pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
Section 2.08), or (ii) the Borrower Obligations are required to be repaid on any earlier date in accordance Section 7.02.
SECTION 2.07. Evidence of Debt. The Loans may be evidenced by promissory notes (each, a Note) executed and
delivered by the Borrower to each Lender in the principal amount of the Loan or portion thereof made by such Lender. If requested by the Borrower, the Notes may be issued in two series, with one series of Notes being rated by at least one Rating
Agency for so long as the Borrower elects to maintain such rating and substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (a Rated Note). The other series of Notes would not require an explicit rating from the Rating Agencies
and each such Note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (an Unrated Note). In all respects other than the classification of the Notes as rated or unrated, the Notes will be entitled to identical rights
and priority. The Notes will be ranked pari passu and the Lenders holding such Notes will share equally in the Collateral and will be entitled to the same rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. Each Lender
Group may elect, in its sole discretion, to have (if applicable) either a Rated Note or an Unrated Note issued by the Borrower to its Lender Group. In the case of any Lender that does not request a Note, such Lender shall maintain an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the Loan or portion thereof made by such Lender, including the outstanding principal balance of such Loan and the amount of Interest payable and paid to such Lender
from time to time hereunder. The entries made in such accounts
35
of the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay any Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.08. Settlement Procedures.
(a) Deposits to Collection Account. The Servicer shall instruct the Lockbox Bank to remit all Collections identified with the
Contracts from the Lockbox Account directly to the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of identification. In the event that the Borrower and/or the Servicer receives any Collections or other proceeds of the Collateral, each shall
remit the same directly to the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. On each Settlement Date, each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited to the Collection Account all amounts
described in Total Distribution Amount together with any other Collections received by either of them that have not previously been deposited to the Collection Account. The Servicer shall not make any withdrawals from the Collection
Account or the Reserve Account, as applicable, at any time except for the purpose of distributing such Collections and other amounts in accordance with Sections 2.08(b) and 2.08(c), as applicable; provided, that the Servicer
may, from time to time, withdraw amounts from the Collection Account as contemplated in Section 6.06, and the Servicer may cause amounts in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account, as applicable, to be invested in Permitted
Investments maturing not later than the Settlement Date next following such investment.
(b) Application of Collections
Revolving Period. On each Settlement Date, the Servicer shall apply the Total Distribution Amount for such Settlement Date in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Servicer for the repayment of any outstanding Servicer Advance made in respect of any Contract;
(ii) second, to the Servicer the accrued and unpaid Servicer Fee, including any unpaid Servicer Fees
with respect to any prior Monthly Periods;
(iii) third, to be distributed pari passu to the
Administrative Agents, the Program Agent and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable: (A) to each Administrative Agent for the Lenders in its respective Lender Group, on a pro rata basis, and if applicable to the Program Agent, an amount
equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid Priority Finance Charges, and (B) to the Hedge Counterparties, on a pro rata basis, all net monthly payments, if any, due to the Hedge Counterparties on such Settlement Date (other than such
payments due upon the termination of any Hedge Agreement);
(iv) fourth, to be distributed pari
passu to the Administrative Agents and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable: (A) to the Administrative Agents for the Lenders in their respective Lender Groups, an amount equal to each Lender Groups Pro Rata Share of the Target
Principal Amount, and (B) to the Hedge Counterparties, on a pro rata basis, any payments due upon the termination of any Hedge Agreement to which they are party (other than Subordinated Swap Termination Payments);
36
(v) fifth, to be distributed to the Administrative Agents for the
Lenders in their respective Lender Group, on a pro rata basis, an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid Subordinated Finance Charges (to the extent the same constitute Interest or Fees), if any;
(vi) sixth, to be deposited to the Reserve Account, the amount of any Reserve Account Shortfall;
(vii) seventh, to be distributed to the Program Agent, an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid
Subordinated Finance Charges due and payable to the Program Agent (to the extent constituting reimbursement for enforcement costs and expenses);
(viii) eighth, to be distributed to any applicable Hedge Counterparties, on a pro rata basis, any
Subordinated Swap Termination Payments then due and payable;
(ix) ninth, if any Borrower Obligations
(including Unpaid Amounts (as defined in the Hedge Agreements)) (other than the amounts paid pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii) above) are then due and payable by the Borrower to any Secured Party, to each such Secured Party
(ratably in accordance with the amounts owing to each) the Borrower Obligations so due and payable;
(x)
tenth, to be distributed pari passu, all unpaid amounts then payable to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association under the Control Agreement and to the Program Agent under the Reserve Account Agreement; and
(xi) eleventh, any remaining funds to the Borrower.
In addition to the foregoing, the Servicer shall, to the extent of funds then available in the Collection Account, on the last day of any
Tranche Period for a LIBOR Tranche, disburse to the applicable Administrative Agent for the Committed Lender that shall have funded or maintained such LIBOR Tranche, an amount equal to the Interest on such LIBOR Tranche.
(c) Application of Collections Post-Revolving Period. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of
Termination and at all times following the end of the Revolving Period, the Servicer shall apply the Total Distribution Amount on each Settlement Date in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Servicer for the repayment of any outstanding Servicer Advance made in respect of any Contract;
(ii) second, to the Servicer, if the Servicer is not HDCC or an Affiliate of HDCC, the accrued and
unpaid Servicer Fee, including any unpaid Servicer Fees with respect to any prior Monthly Periods;
37
(iii) third, to be distributed pari passu to the
Administrative Agents, the Program Agent and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable: (A) to each Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in its respective Lender Group, on a pro rata basis, and if applicable to the Program
Agent, an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid Priority Finance Charges, and (B) to the Hedge Counterparties, on a pro rata basis, all net monthly payments, if any, due to the Hedge Counterparties on such Settlement Date
(other than such payments due upon the termination of any Hedge Agreement);
(iv) fourth, to be
distributed pari passu to the Administrative Agents and the Hedge Counterparties, as applicable: (A) to the Administrative Agents for the Lenders in their respective Lender Groups, an amount equal to each Lender Groups Pro Rata
Share of the Target Principal Amount, and (B) to the Hedge Counterparties, on a pro rata basis, any payments due upon the termination of any Hedge Agreement to which they are party (other than Subordinated Swap Termination Payments);
(v) fifth, to be distributed to the Administrative Agents for the Lenders in their respective Lender
Group, on a pro rata basis, and if applicable to the Program Agent, an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid Subordinated Finance Charges, if any;
(vi) sixth, to be distributed to any applicable Hedge Counterparties, on a pro rata basis, any Subordinated
Swap Termination Payments then due and payable;
(vii) seventh, if any Borrower Obligations (including
Unpaid Amounts (as defined in the Hedge Agreements)) (other than the amounts paid pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) above) are then due and payable by the Borrower to any Secured Party, to each such Secured
Party (ratably in accordance with the amounts owing to each) the Borrower Obligations so due and payable;
(viii) eighth, to be distributed pari passu, all unpaid amounts then payable to The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, National Association under the Control Agreement and to the Program Agent under the Reserve Account Agreement;
(ix) ninth, if the Servicer is HDCC or an Affiliate thereof, to the Servicer the amounts specified in clause
(ii) above; and
(x) tenth, on the Final Collection Date, any remaining funds to the Borrower.
Any payment to be made to the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the applicable Administrative Agent on behalf of its related
Lenders as described in clauses (b) and (c) above and such payment shall conclusively satisfy the Borrowers or the Servicers payment duties hereunder.
(d) Reserve Account.
(i) On each Settlement Date, if the Total Distribution Amount is estimated to be less than the aggregate amount required
to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(i) through (iii), then the Servicer shall withdraw from the Reserve Account and remit to the Collection Account on the Business Day preceding the Settlement Date the amount of such deficiency
and shall apply such amount in accordance with Section 2.08(b).
38
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Termination and at all times following the end of the Revolving Period, if at any time the Total Distribution Amount is less than the aggregate amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(i) through (vi), the Servicer
shall withdraw from the Reserve Account the amount of such deficiency and shall apply such amount in accordance with Section 2.08(c).
(iii) On each Settlement Date during the Revolving Period, if (A) the Total Distribution Amount is sufficient in
amount to pay all amounts then due under Section 2.08(b)(i) through (x), and (B) no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Servicer may distribute to the
Borrower the excess of the aggregate amount then held in the Reserve Account over the Minimum Reserve Amount.
(iv) Upon the Aggregate Principal Balance being reduced to zero and all other Borrower Obligations being indefeasibly paid
in full, after giving effect to any withdrawals on such date pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, all amounts then remaining in the Reserve Account shall be released to the Borrower.
(e) The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections to the Program Agent or the Administrative Agents, as
applicable, hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Borrower in the ordinary course of its business or financial affairs and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Borrower.
SECTION 2.09. Removal of Defaulted Contracts. In the event the Borrower shall be capable of selling, assigning or
otherwise transferring a Contract that has become a Defaulted Contract for an amount not less than the Repurchase Price (or such other price as shall be acceptable to the Syndication Agents in their sole discretion), the Borrower may, with the
consent of the Syndication Agents, remove from the Collateral such Defaulted Contract and the related Contract Assets by depositing to the Collection Account on the Settlement Date immediately following the Monthly Period in which such Contract
became a Defaulted Contract an amount equal to the Repurchase Price (or such other price) from the proceeds of such sale, assignment or other transfer.
SECTION 2.10. Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms
hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to an account the Program Agent or the relevant Administrative Agents may designate prior to such
payment from time to time in writing. The Borrower and the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Affected Party interest on all amounts
39
not paid or deposited or debited by such Person when due hereunder at the Default Rate, payable on demand. All computations of interest and all computations of Interest and Fees hereunder shall
be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed; provided that all computations of Interest on Base Rate Tranches shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366
days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. In no event shall any provision of this Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of Interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable
law. In the event that any payment hereunder (whether constituting a repayment of Loans or a payment of Interest or any other amount) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason, the amount of such payment shall be restored and such
payment shall be considered not to have been made.
SECTION 2.11. Interest Protection.
(a) If due to either: (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority of any law or regulation (other than laws or regulations relating to taxes) after the date hereof, (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any
directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the date hereof, or (iii) any change in any accounting guideline by an accounting board or authority (whether or
not part of a government or instrumentality thereof) which is responsible for the establishment of or interpretation of national or international accounting principles (in each case whether foreign or domestic); (1) there shall be an increase
in the cost to such Affected Party of funding or maintaining any Tranche which accrues Interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the CP Rate hereunder or of extending a commitment in respect thereof, or (2) such Affected Party shall be required to
make a payment calculated by reference to any Tranche which accrues Interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the CP Rate funded by it or Interest received by it, then the Borrower shall, on the next Settlement Date which is at least five
(5) Business Days after receipt of the certificate described in Section 2.11(b), pay such Administrative Agent for the account of such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of
the Lenders), that portion of such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or required payment made or to be made, which such Administrative Agent reasonably determines is attributable to funding and maintaining, or extending a commitment to
fund, any Tranche which accrues Interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the CP Rate hereunder or pursuant to any Asset Purchase Agreement or similar liquidity facility.
(b) Each Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Program Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring
after the date hereof, which will entitle any Affected Party in its Lender Group to compensation pursuant to Section 2.11(a). Each Affected Party will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or
reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. The applicable Affected Party (or such partys related Administrative Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing in reasonable detail such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or receivable or required
payment made or to be made (including the calculation thereof), which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
40
SECTION 2.12. Accounting Based Consolidation Event. (a) If an Accounting Based
Consolidation Event shall at any time occur, the Borrower shall, on the next Settlement Date which is at least five (5) Business Days after receipt of the certificate described below, pay the applicable Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the relevant Affected Party, such amounts as such Affected Party reasonably determines will compensate or reimburse such Affected Party for any resulting (i) fee, expense or increased cost, including without limitation, charged to, incurred or
otherwise suffered by such Affected Party, or (ii) reduction in the rate of return on such Affected Partys capital or reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Party, in each case determined by such
Affected Party to be allocable to the Borrower or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement in connection therewith. Amounts under this Section 2.12 may be demanded at any time without regard to the timing of issuance of any
financial statement by any Conduit Lender or by any Affected Party; provided that a Conduit Lender on behalf of such Affected Party shall provide to the Borrower a calculation in reasonable detail of the amounts payable to each Affected Party
pursuant to this Section 2.12 and such calculation shall be binding in the absence of manifest error; provided, further, in respect of any Monthly Period, the amount due to an Affected Party under this
Section 2.12 when combined with the Interest payable to such Affected Party for such Monthly Period shall be equal to the amount of Interest that would have accrued if the Tranche held by such Affected Party were a Base Rate Tranche
during such Monthly Period.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.12, Accounting Based Consolidation
Event means the consolidation, for financial and/or regulatory accounting purposes, of all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of any Conduit Lender that are subject to this Agreement or any other Facility Document with all or any
portion of the assets and liabilities of an Affected Party. An Accounting Based Consolidation Event shall be deemed to occur on the date any Affected Party shall acknowledge in writing that any such consolidation of the assets and liabilities of a
Conduit Lender shall occur.
SECTION 2.13. Increased Capital.
(a) If, after the date hereof, (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation by any Official Body of any law or
regulation, (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any new or changed directive or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law), or (iii) any change in any accounting guideline by an
accounting board or authority (whether or not part of a government or instrumentality thereof) which is responsible for the establishment of or interpretation of national or international accounting principles (in each case whether foreign or
domestic), affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Party or such Affected Party reasonably determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any
Lenders agreement to make or maintain Loans hereunder and other similar agreements or facilities and such event would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Affected Party by an amount deemed by such Affected Party
to be material, then, on the next Settlement Date which occurs at least five (5) days after receipt of the certificate described in Section 2.13(b), the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party (as a third party
41
beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of the Lenders) or the related Administrative Agent for the account of such Affected Party from time to time, as specified by such
Affected Party or such Administrative Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party or such Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party
reasonably determines such increase in capital to be attributable to the existence of the applicable Lenders agreements hereunder.
(b) Each Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Program Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring
after the date hereof, which will entitle any Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group to compensation pursuant to Section 2.13(a). Each Lender or Affected Party will designate a different lending office if such designation will
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender or Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender or Affected Party may use
any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Lender or Affected Party (or such partys related Administrative Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing in reasonable detail such compensation (including the
calculations thereof), which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
SECTION 2.14. Funding
Losses. In the event that any Liquidity Provider or any Lender shall incur any loss, expense or Liquidation Fees (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Liquidity Provider or Lender in order to fund or maintain any Loan or interest therein) as a result of any reduction of the Principal Balance of any Tranche at any time or conversion of any Tranche to another Tranche prior to the
originally scheduled last day of the applicable Tranche Period, then, on the Settlement Date following written demand from the related Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to such Administrative Agent for the account of such
Liquidity Provider or Lender, the amount of such loss, expense or Liquidation Fees. Such written demand shall describe in reasonable detail the components of such funding loss and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
upon the Borrower.
SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Except to the extent required by applicable law, any and all payments
and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder by the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (except for net income taxes that are imposed by the United States and franchise taxes, gross receipts taxes imposed in lieu of income taxes, and net income taxes that are imposed on such
Affected Party by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Party is organized or any political subdivision thereof, collectively, Excluded Taxes). If the Borrower or the Servicer shall be required by
law to make any such deduction, (i) the Borrower shall, except in the case of any deduction on account of Excluded Taxes, make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower (or the
Servicer, on its behalf) shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
42
(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary
taxes or any other excise or property taxes or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or
any instrument delivered hereunder.
(c) Each Affected Party which is not organized under the laws of the United States or any
State thereof shall, on or prior to the date that such Affected Party becomes a party to or obtains rights under this Agreement, and prior to any payment being made by the Borrower to such Affected Party, deliver to the Borrower (i) two duly
completed and executed copies of the IRS Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI (or any successor form) as applicable; and (ii) such other forms or certificates as may be required under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction (on or before the date that any
such form expires or becomes obsolete), in order to permit the Borrower to make payments to, and deposit funds to or for the account of, such Affected Party hereunder and under the other Facility Documents without any deduction or withholding for or
on account of any tax. Each such Affected Party shall submit to the Borrower (with copies to the Program Agent) two updated, completed, and duly executed versions of: (i) all forms referred to in the previous sentence upon the expiry of, or the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in, the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or the substitution of such form; and (ii) such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower.
(d) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the benefit of any Affected Party pursuant to this
Section 2.15 as a result of a change of law or treaty occurring after such Affected Party first became a party to this Agreement, such Affected Party will, at the Borrowers request, change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending
office if, in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Party, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Party.
SECTION 2.16. Security Interest. (a) As security for the performance by the Borrower of all the terms, covenants and
agreements on the part of the Borrower to be performed under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, including the payment when due of all Borrower Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Program Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, a security interest in all of the Borrowers right, title and interest in and to all of its assets and interests in property, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, including, without limitation, the following:
(i) all Contracts, together with all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto;
(ii) the Collection Account, including, without limitation, (A) all Collections held therein and all certificates and
instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Collection Account or any Collections held therein, (B) all investment property and other financial assets representing Collections or proceeds
43
thereof on deposit in, credited to, held in, or acquired with funds from, the Collection Account and all certificates and instruments from time to time representing or evidencing such investment
property and financial assets, (C) all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered or transferred to, or otherwise possessed by, the Program Agent in substitution for the then existing investments
in the Collection Account and (D) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets, investment property and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the
Collection Account, in each case, related to Contracts;
(iii) the Reserve Account, including, without
limitation, (A) all amounts held therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Reserve Account or any amounts held therein, (B) all investment property and other financial assets
representing amounts or proceeds thereof on deposit in, credited to, held in, or acquired with funds from, the Reserve Account and all certificates and instruments from time to time representing or evidencing such investment property and financial
assets, (C) all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered or transferred to, or otherwise possessed by, the Program Agent in substitution for the then existing investments in the Reserve Account
and (D) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets, investment property and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Reserve Account;
(iv) all rights and remedies of the Borrower under the Receivables Sale Agreement, together with all financing statements
filed by the Borrower against HDCC in connection therewith;
(v) to the extent not included in the foregoing,

(vi) all rights and
remedies of the Borrower under each Hedge Agreement;
(vii) all accounts, chattel paper, inventory, equipment,
instruments, investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, general intangibles and supporting obligations (all terms in this clause (vii) having the meaning assigned to them in Article 9 of the UCC of the applicable
jurisdiction) constituting or relating to the foregoing; and
(viii) to the extent not included in the
foregoing, all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (the assets and interests in property described above in this Section 2.16(a), collectively, the Collateral).
The Borrower hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements, and continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments
thereof, describing the collateral covered thereby as all of debtors personal property or assets or words to that effect. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
44
(b)(i) With respect to any Contract that has been repurchased by HDCC in accordance with
Section 6.01 of the Receivables Sale Agreement, the Program Agents security interest in such Contract and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto shall be automatically released upon the deposit to the Collection
Account of proceeds of such repurchase in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price.
(i) Upon prepayment in
full of all of the Borrower Obligations in accordance with Section 2.03 or upon removal from the Collateral of any Defaulted Contract in accordance with Section 2.09 (including payment of the amount specified in
Section 2.09), the Program Agents security interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in all the Contracts (in the case of Section 2.03) or the removed Contract (in the case of Section 2.09), and the
Related Security and Collections with respect thereto shall be automatically released on the date of prepayment or payment of removal proceeds, as applicable.
(ii) On acknowledgement by the Program Agent of the occurrence of the Final Collection Date, the Program Agents
security interest in the Collateral shall automatically terminate.
(iii) At any time that the Aggregate
Principal Balance hereunder shall have been reduced to zero, and all accrued or claimed Borrower Obligations shall have been paid in full, the Program Agent shall, upon the written request of the Borrower, release its security interest, on behalf of
the Secured Parties, in the Collateral.
(iv) Upon the release or termination of the Program Agents
security interest in all or any portion of the Collateral as provided in this Section 2.16(b) or in Section 2.17, the Program Agent will, at the request and expense of the Borrower, (x) execute and deliver to the
Borrower such instruments of release with respect to such Collateral, in recordable form if necessary, in favor of the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request, (y) deliver any such Collateral in its possession to the Borrower or its
designee, and (z) take such other actions as the Borrower may reasonably request (all without recourse to, and without representation or warranty by, the Program Agent, any Administrative Agent or any Lender, other than a representation to the
effect that no Adverse Claim in the Collateral has been created by or through such Person) to evidence the release or termination of the Program Agents security interest in the Collateral or the portion thereof in which the Program
Agents security interest has been released or terminated.
SECTION 2.17. Take-Out Securitizations. The Borrower
may, upon no less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agents and the Hedge Counterparties, request that certain Collateral be released from the Program Agents security interest in order to effect a
Take-Out Securitization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Take-Out Securitization shall be permitted unless the proceeds received in connection with any Take-Out Securitization are remitted directly to the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 2.08(a) and applied in accordance with the priority of payment provisions set forth in Section 2.08(b) on the immediately following Settlement Date (or, if such Take-Out Securitization occurs on a Settlement Date, on
such Settlement Date) and that such proceeds are in an aggregate amount not
45
less than the Repurchase Price for the Contracts that are the subject of such Take-Out Securitization together with any additional amount as may be necessary to pay all amounts due to the Hedge
Counterparties on such Settlement Date, including any termination payment due on such Settlement Date as a result of such Take-Out Securitization. Prior to any such Take-Out Securitization being effected, the Program Agent and the Administrative
Agents shall have received satisfactory evidence that before and after giving effect to such Take-Out Securitization, (A) no Event of Termination, Incipient Event of Termination, Early Amortization Event or an event that but for notice or lapse
of time or both would constitute an Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) the Aggregate Principal Balance shall not exceed an amount equal to the Borrowing Base, (C) the Overconcentration Amount shall be zero,
(D) with respect to the Contracts that are (a) 30 to 60 days past due and (b) 60 to 90 days past due, the percentage of each such category of Contracts remaining as Collateral hereunder after giving effect to the Take-Out
Securitization must not exceed the percentage of such Contracts that constituted Collateral hereunder immediately prior to giving effect to such Take-Out Securitization and (E) the transaction documents to which the Borrower is a party and
which set forth the terms of the Take-Out Securitization include limited recourse and non-petition provisions for the benefit of the Borrower similar in all material respects to those set forth in Sections 10.09 and 10.11 hereof. In
any calculation to be made in connection with a Take-Out Securitization hereunder, the Outstanding Balance of a Contract shall be that set forth in (i) the then most recently delivered Monthly Report in respect of which the related Settlement
Date shall have occurred, or (ii) if such Contract was acquired by the Borrower after the last date covered by such Monthly Report, the related Notice of Sale. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this
Section 2.17 (except for the application of the proceeds in accordance with Section 2.08(b) as set forth herein), and receipt by the Borrower of the proceeds thereof in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price of the
Contracts that are the subject of such Take-Out Securitization, the Program Agents security interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in such Contracts and the Related Security and Collections shall be released.
SECTION 2.18. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Committed Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Committed Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) The Unused Fee shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 2.05.
(b) The Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all
Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.01), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of
all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(c) So long as an Event of Termination has not occurred and is continuing, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender or any member of
its Lender Group hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof) shall, in lieu of being
distributed to such Defaulting Lender or member, be retained by the Program Agent in a
46
segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Program Agent to (i) the funding or cash collateralization
of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender as required by this Agreement, (ii) the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its Pro Rata Share as required by this Agreement, and (iii) if so
determined by the Program Agent and the Borrower, be held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lenders Lender Group under this Agreement. Amounts held in such segregated account will not accrue
Interest or Fees. Any investment income earned from investments in the segregated account shall be retained in the segregated account.
(d) In the event that the Program Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied
all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Commitments of the Lenders and the Lender Group Limit of the Lenders related Lender Group shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lenders Commitment and
on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders in its Lender Group as its related Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share of the Lender Group Limit and all funds held in a segregated account in respect of such Lender Group under Section 2.18(c) shall be released to the Administrative Agent of such Lender Group.
SECTION 2.19. Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lender Groups. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under
Sections 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. The Borrower shall not be
required to pay any amount otherwise payable under Section 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 to the extent such amount accrued prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of the demand for payment thereof hereunder;
provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such amounts are retroactive, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(b) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, its
related Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agents, require such Lender and its Lender Group to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.03), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee identified by the Borrower that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be a Lender in another Lender Group, if such Lender and its related Lender Group accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Syndication Agents, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) such Lender and its related Lender Group shall have
47
received payment of an amount equal to the principal balance of the Loans made by the Lender and its related Lender Group, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
such Lender and its related Lender Group hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such principal balance and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) together with all amounts then held in any segregated
account with respect to such Lender Group in accordance with Section 2.18(c).

Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) of such Lock-Box or Lockbox Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event. The Borrower has taken all steps necessary to ensure that the Program Agent has

52
(n) Names. The Borrower has not used any corporate or other names, trade names or
assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement.

not be required to register as, an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.
(q) Compliance with Law. The Borrower has complied in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations,
orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of its businesses or the ownership of its property (including, without limitation, laws, rules and
regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), except where the failure to so comply with any of the foregoing could not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Borrower, the Secured Parties interest in the Collateral, the collectibility or enforceability of the Contracts generally or any material portion of the Contracts, or
the Borrowers ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Facility Documents.
(r)
Compliance with the Contracts and the Collection Policy. The Borrower has (i) fully performed and complied in all material respects with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Contracts
pledged hereunder as Collateral and (ii) complied (and has at all times instructed the Servicer to comply) in all material respects with the Collection Policy with regard to each such Contract.

the representations and warranties made in Sections 4.01(l), (m), (n) and (o), Section 4.02(d) and Section 4.03 of the Receivables Sale Agreement is hereunder made by the Borrower. There are a
sufficient number of Eligible Contracts and Eligible Post-Sale Contracts constituting Collateral such that the Borrowing Base exceeds the Aggregate Principal Balance.
53
(u) Accounting. The Borrower shall treat the transactions contemplated by the
Receivables Sale Agreement as a sale or capital contribution for all purposes, although the Borrower acknowledges that the consolidated financial statements of HDCC and the Borrower shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as a result of the
consolidation required by GAAP, the transfers will be reflected as a financing by HDCC in its consolidated financial statements; provided, however, that (i) appropriate notations shall be made in any such consolidated financial
statements (or in the accompanying notes) to indicate that the Borrower is a separate legal entity from HDCC and to indicate that the Borrowers assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations of HDCC, (ii) such
assets shall also be listed separately on any balance sheet of the Borrower prepared on a stand alone basis, and (iii) following the occurrence of any Insolvency Event in respect of HDCC, the Contracts and other Contract Assets purportedly

is true, accurate and complete as of its respective Cutoff Date.
(x) Receivables Sale Agreement. The Receivables Sale
Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which the Borrower purchases the Collateral pledged hereunder, and this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement represent all agreements between HDCC and the Borrower relating to the conveyance by
HDCC to the Borrower of any Contracts or Contract Assets or the provision by HDCC of collection services in respect thereof (it being understood that the Borrower may be required to repurchase Contracts from time to time conveyed by it in connection
with a Take-Out Securitization in accordance with limited recourse obligations of the type described in Section 4.01(cc)(ii)). Upon the sale of each Contract and Related Security pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, the Borrower
shall be the lawful owner of, and have good title to, such Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except for Permitted Liens).
(y) Business. Since its formation, the Borrower has not conducted any business other than the purchase of the Contracts from HDCC
under the Receivables Sale Agreement, the pledge and assignment of the Collateral under this Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement, and such other activities as are contemplated in this Agreement or that are incidental to the foregoing
(including, without limitation, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any Facility Document). The Facility Documents are the only agreements to which the Borrower is a party, other than its organization documents, intercompany service
agreements and certain other agreements permitted hereunder.

the Servicer to cause, the portions of the Computer Files in possession by, or on behalf of, the Servicer and subject to this Agreement to be clearly and unambiguously marked with a legend, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents, to
indicate that each Contract constitutes part of the Collateral. Such marking shall be in a form which can be readily deciphered by any Person reading such Computer Files.
(cc) No Indebtedness. The Borrower has no Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness incurred under (i) the terms of this
Agreement and the other Facility Documents, (ii) limited recourse obligations as may arise from time to time in connection with a Take-Out Securitization by reason of representations, warranties and other provisions required to be made by the
Borrower and which are consistent with representations, warranties and other provisions conventionally made or agreed to by a transferor in an arms length true sale transaction, (iii) Hedge Agreements permitted under the terms
of this Agreement and (iv) other Indebtedness not constituting obligations for borrowed money in an aggregate amount up to $10,000.
(dd) No Fraudulent Conveyance. The Borrower is not in default under any material obligation to pay money to any Person. The

assets. The Borrower is not transferring any Collateral with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors. The Borrower will not use the proceeds from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to give any preference to any
creditor or class of creditors.
(ee) Reserve Account. The Borrower has taken all steps necessary to ensure that the
Program Agent has control (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d) of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) over the Reserve Account and that the Reserve Account is not subject to any Adverse Claim other than Permitted Liens and
Adverse Claims in favor of the Secured Parties hereunder.
(ff) Independent Existence. At all times during the period
the Existing Credit Agreement shall have been in effect, the Borrower was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of Section 5.01(g), Section 5.01(h) and Section 5.01(i) of the Existing Credit
Agreement.
55

(a) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may be required by the Program Agent pursuant to Section 6.06, the

ARTICLE VI
ADMINISTRATION OF CONTRACTS
SECTION 6.01. Designation of the Servicer.
(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Contracts shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time in
accordance with this Section 6.01. Until the Program Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, gives notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of the designation of a new Servicer as provided in
Section 6.01(b) below, HDCC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby grants to the Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with
full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Borrower any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind in connection with any
Contract or other Collateral.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Servicer Termination Event, the
Program Agent may, with the consent or shall at the direction of the Required Lenders, upon written notice to the parties hereto designate as the Servicer any Person to succeed HDCC (or any successor Servicer) subject to the condition that any such
Person so designated shall agree to perform, and shall be qualified to perform, the duties and obligations of the Servicer under each of the Facility Documents to which it is a party. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon the reasonable determination by the Servicer that (x) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (y) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could
take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law.
72
(c) HDCC and any successor Servicer agrees that, upon its resignation or replacement as the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.01(b) above, it will cooperate with the Borrower, the Program Agent and the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights as the Servicer hereunder, including, without
limitation, (i) assisting the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights under the Contracts and Related Security, (ii) transferring, promptly upon receipt, to the successor Servicer, any Collections or other amounts related to the
Contracts received by such Servicer, (iii) transferring to the successor Servicer all Records held by or under the control of such Servicer and (iv) permitting the successor Servicer to have access to all tapes, discs, diskettes and
related property containing information concerning the Contracts and the Records and taking all actions necessary in its control to permit the successor Servicer to use all computer software (to the extent it is permitted to do so) that may
facilitate the successor Servicers access to and use of such information and acting as data processing agent for such successor Servicer if requested. Upon the resignation or replacement of HDCC as the Servicer, HDCC shall no longer be
entitled to the Servicer Fee accruing from and after the effective date of such resignation or replacement. If HDCC or a successor Servicer resigns or is replaced, it shall be entitled to reimbursement for all outstanding Servicer Advances at the
time and in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.08(b) and 2.08(c), as applicable, notwithstanding its resignation or termination hereunder.
(d) The Servicer may (i) delegate to any of the Servicers Affiliates some or all of the Servicers duties hereunder,
(ii) delegate to a non-Affiliate discrete portions of its duties hereunder, such as, collection, bankruptcy services, repossession, in order to enable the Servicer to maximize Collections on the Receivables, and (iii) to a non-Affiliate
all or substantially all of its duties hereunder with the prior consent of the Syndication Agents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for any and all
duties delegated in accordance with this clause (d).
SECTION 6.02. Duties of the Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as it deems necessary or advisable to collect all amounts due and
related to each Contract from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, tariffs, rules, regulations and the Collection Policy. Each of the Borrower, each Lender, each Administrative Agent and the Program Agent hereby appoints as its
agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Contracts and the Related Security. The Servicer (so long as it is HDCC) will at all times apply
the same standards and follow the same procedures with respect to the decision to commence litigation with respect to the Contracts, and in prosecuting and litigating with respect to the Contracts, as it applies and follows with respect to
motorcycle conditional sales contracts and promissory note and security agreements serviced by it which are not Contracts; provided, however, that from and after the Termination Date, the Servicer shall commence or settle any legal
action to enforce collection of any Contract or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect thereto as directed by the Program Agent. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Program Agent, any Administrative Agent
or any Lender a party to any litigation without such Persons express prior written consent.
73
(b) The Servicer shall apply all Collections to the Contracts owed by the applicable
Obligors in a timely manner in accordance with the business practices of the Servicer as of the date of this Agreement unless mutually agreed otherwise with the Syndication Agents. In the event the Servicer receives any Collections or other proceeds
of the Collateral, it shall set aside and hold in trust for the Borrower and the Secured Parties such Collections and other proceeds for application and remittance in accordance with Section 2.08(a), and it shall remit the same to the
Collection Account to the extent required hereunder.
(c) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn
over to the Person entitled thereto collections in respect of any receivable which is not a Contract less, to the extent the Servicer performed any collection or enforcement actions which it was authorized by such Person to perform, all
reasonable and appropriate out of pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer incurred in collecting and enforcing such receivable. The Servicers authorization and obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Business Day immediately after the
Final Collection Date. After such termination, if HDCC or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Borrower, all books, copies of records and related materials that the
Borrower previously provided to the Servicer, or that otherwise have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Contract as the Servicer determines to be
appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension shall not limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that, in accordance with the Servicers customary
business practices as they relate to the management of its securitization facilities, the Servicer will recognize a given Contract as being a Defaulted Contract and thereupon mark the Outstanding Balance of such Contract to zero in its books and
records. Such internal practices will not impair or diminish (i) the claim of the Borrower against the applicable Obligor for payment in full of such Contract, (ii) any right of the Borrower to realize any Recoveries subsequently made on
any Contract so recorded or (iii) the obligation of the Servicer and the Borrower to remit in full to the Collection Account for application in accordance with Section 2.08 any and all such Recoveries. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, during the existence of any Event of Termination, the Program Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Contract or to foreclose
upon or repossess any Related Security; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not release or waive the right to collect the Outstanding Balance of any Contract, except that, with respect to a Contract that has become a Defaulted
Contract or has been written-off as uncollectible, the Servicer, consistent with its Collection Policy, may release or waive the right to collect the Outstanding Balance of such Contract in an effort to maximize collections thereon.
(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Borrower and the Secured Parties all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the
Contracts, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Contracts and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of any Administrative Agent or the Program Agent, during the existence of
any Event of Termination, deliver or make available to the Program Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Program Agent.
74
(f) If the Servicer shall have repossessed a Motorcycle on behalf of the Program Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain at its expense physical damage insurance with respect to such Motorcycle, or (ii) indemnify the Program Agent against any damage to such Motorcycle prior to resale
or other disposition. The Servicer shall not allow such repossessed Motorcycle to be used in an active trade or business, but rather shall dispose of the Motorcycle in a reasonable time in accordance with the Servicers normal business
practices.
(g) The Servicer will be entitled to recover all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in liquidating a
Contract and disposing of the related Motorcycle.
SECTION 6.03. Servicer Advances. The Servicer may, in its sole
discretion, advance (a Servicer Advance) with respect to any Contract on any Settlement Date, any scheduled principal and/or interest payment thereunder which became due during any Monthly Period ending prior to such Settlement
Date and was not paid by the Obligor of such Contract as of the close of business on that last day of the most recently ended Monthly Period (unless a Servicer Advance with respect to and in the amount of such scheduled payment has previously been
made), subject to its determination that any such Servicer Advance is expected to be recoverable from future payments made by such Obligor. Any such Servicer Advance, if made, shall be remitted to the Collection Account on the Settlement Date
following such Monthly Reporting Date. The Servicer shall not be entitled to interest or any other fees on or with respect to Servicer Advances. The Servicer shall be reimbursed its respective Servicer Advance as provided in Sections 2.08(b)
and 2.08(c), as applicable.
SECTION 6.04. Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform all of its obligations with respect to the Contracts to the same extent as if a security interest in the Contracts had not been granted hereunder and the exercise by the Program Agent of its
rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including without limitation, sales, excise and personal property taxes payable by it in connection with the Contracts. None of the Program
Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Lenders or the Liquidity Providers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Contracts or other Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower
thereunder.
SECTION 6.05. Further Action Evidencing Program Agents Interest. Each of the Borrower and the
Servicer agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that any Administrative Agent or the Program Agent may reasonably request in order to
perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Program Agent or the Secured Parties granted hereunder or to enable the Program Agent to exercise or enforce any of its or the Secured Parties rights hereunder. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each of the Borrower and the Servicer will (i) code its master data processing records evidencing such Contracts to evidence that a security interest therein has been granted to the Program Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties under this Agreement, and (ii) upon the request of any Administrative Agent or
75
the Program Agent, file such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and execute and file such other instruments or notices, as may be
necessary or appropriate or as the Program Agent or any Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If either the Borrower or the Servicer fails to perform any of its respective agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Program Agent may
(but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Program Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower or the Servicer,
as applicable, upon the Program Agents demand therefor.
SECTION 6.06. Collections. In the case of any
remittances received in the Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Contracts or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such
items to the Person identified to it (or determined by it) as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Program Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly
shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Contracts, to remit all payments thereon directly to the Collection Account and, at all times thereafter, the Borrower and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any
other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to the Collection Account any cash or payment item other than Collections or other amounts permitted or required to be deposited therein pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.07. Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to each Administrative Agent (i) on each Monthly Reporting
Date, a Monthly Report, and the Servicer shall provide a copy thereof to the Hedge Counterparties, (ii) at such times as any Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, a listing by Obligor of all Contracts and (iii) if Provisional
Settlement Dates are then in effect, a report substantially in the form of a Monthly Report at such times as any Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. The Servicer shall deliver to each Administrative Agent and the Hedge Counterparties:
(x) on each Monthly Reporting Date as part of the Monthly Report, information regarding loss-to-liquidations on HDFSs U.S. retail Motorcycle managed portfolio and (y) on a quarterly basis, information regarding delinquencies and
annual losses on such managed portfolio.
SECTION 6.08. Servicer Fees. In consideration of HDCCs agreement to act
as the Servicer hereunder, the Lenders hereby agree that, during the period that HDCC shall perform as the Servicer hereunder, the Borrower shall pay over to HDCC a fee (the Servicer Fee) on each Settlement Date in accordance with
Sections 2.08(b) and 2.08(c), as applicable, which Servicer Fee shall be equal, in respect of any Monthly Period (or portion thereof), to:
(i) (A) the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Contracts constituting Collateral as of the first day of such
period and the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Contracts constituting Collateral as of the last day of such period, divided by (B) two, times
(ii) 1.00%, times
(iii) the actual number of days during such period divided by 360.
76
The Servicer shall retain all Late Payment Penalty Fees and extension fees paid in the prior Monthly Period,
as compensation for its servicing activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer is replaced by the Program Agent, the successor Servicer shall receive a servicing fee in an amount agreed upon by the Program Agent and the successor
Servicer which reflects the then-prevailing market rates for servicing similar portfolios of Contracts.

parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at the Borrowers premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Required Lenders may deem commercially reasonable, and the Lenders shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private

of the Borrower, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind in connection
with any Contract or other Contract Asset.

(c) The Borrower recognizes that the Lenders may be unable to effect a public sale of any or
all the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. The Borrower acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. In the event of any sale, assignment or other transfer of
all or any portion of the Collateral by the Lenders in the exercise of their remedies under this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder in respect of the servicing, collecting or other handling of the Collateral so sold,
assigned or otherwise transferred shall thereupon terminate without any requirement that notice be given to or any payment (other than any then accrued and unpaid Servicer Fees) be made to the Servicer or that any other action on the part of any
Person be taken to give effect to such termination.

Early Amortization Period, (i) no new Loans shall be extended by the Lenders hereunder, and (ii) on each Settlement Date, the Target Principal Amount shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans then
outstanding.
(b) If (x) the Aggregate Principal Balance at any time exceeds the Borrowing Base and (y) such
circumstance does not constitute an Event of Termination under Section 7.01(o) because it arises solely as a result of a change in the Loss-to-Liquidation Ratio causing an increase in the Dynamic Enhancement Percentage, no new Loans will
be extended by the Lenders until such time as such deficiency is eliminated by (i) the pledge of additional Collateral by the Borrower to the Program Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or (ii) the payment of the Total Distribution
Amount by the Borrower, or the Servicer on its behalf, in accordance with Section 2.08(b) hereof such that the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans is less than the Borrowing Base.

with the consent of the Administrative Agent for the Lender Group of which it is a member, assign at any time all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and interests herein to any Person; provided, however, that the
consent of the Borrower shall not be required in connection with any assignment by a Committed Lender (i) if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing or (ii) to any other Lender or any Affiliate of such Committed Lender.
(d) With respect to any assignment hereunder, the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Program
Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance,
(x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
thereunder and (y) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights
89
and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(e) At all times during which any Loan is outstanding, the Program Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
Section 10.02 of this Agreement (or such other address of the Program Agent notified by the Program Agent to the other parties hereto) a register as provided herein (the Register). The Aggregate Principal Balance and
any interests therein, and any Assignments and Acceptances of the Aggregate Principal Balance or any interest therein delivered to and accepted by the Program Agent, shall be registered in the Register, and the Register shall serve as a record of
ownership that identifies the owners of the Aggregate Principal Balances and any interests therein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no transfer of the Aggregate Principal Balances or any interest therein shall be effective
unless and until such transfer has been recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Program Agent, the Administrative Agents and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. This Section 10.03(e) shall be construed so that the Aggregate Principal
Balance and any interest therein is maintained at all times in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c) of the IRC. Solely for the purposes of this Section 10.03, the Program Agent will act as
an agent of the Borrower. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance, the Program Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been duly completed,
(i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.
(g) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a
Participant) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding Loan); provided, that following the sale of a participation under this Agreement, (i) the obligations of such Lender
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Program Agent, the Servicer and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Participant
shall not have any right to direct the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) reduces the amount of principal or Interest that is payable on account of any Loan or delays
any scheduled date for payment thereof or (ii) reduces any fees payable by the Borrower to the Program Agent or such Lenders Administrative Agent, as applicable (to the extent relating to
90
payments to the Participant) or delays any scheduled date for payment of such fees. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Lenders source of funds may derive in part from its
Participants. Accordingly, references in Sections 2.11 through 2.15 and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased
costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to the Lenders shall be deemed also to include those of its Participants; provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrower be liable to any Participant under Sections 2.11
through 2.15 for an amount in excess of that which would be payable to the applicable Lender under such sections at such time.
(h) Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior
written consent of the Program Agent and each Administrative Agent.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of the principal balance of the Loans made by it and Interest with respect thereto)
hereunder pursuant to repurchase transactions or other financing transactions as part of such Lenders ordinary course of business, including to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the
Borrower or the Program Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 10.04. Additional Lender Groups. Upon the Borrowers request with approval of the Syndication Agents, an additional
Lender Group may be added to this Agreement at any time by the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by the members of such proposed additional Lender Group, the Borrower, and the Syndication Agents. Upon the effective date of such Joinder
Agreement, (i) each Person specified therein as a Conduit Lender shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Lender, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Conduit Lender hereunder, (ii) each Person specified
therein as a Committed Lender shall become a party hereto as a Committed Lender, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder, (iii) each Person specified therein as an Administrative
Agent shall become a party hereto as an Administrative Agent, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of an Administrative Agent hereunder and (iv) the Aggregate Commitment shall be increased by an amount equal to the
aggregate Commitments of the Committed Lenders party to such Joinder Agreement.
SECTION 10.05. Consent to
Jurisdiction.
(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or
Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
91
(b) Each party hereto hereby consents to the service of any and all process in any such
action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Section 10.05 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other
manner permitted by law.
SECTION 10.06. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT.
SECTION 10.07. Right of Setoff. Each Lender is hereby authorized (in addition to any other
rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of the Termination Date due to the occurrence of an Event of Termination, or at any time that any Borrower Obligation hereunder is due and payable, to set off, appropriate and apply (without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Lender to, or for the account of, the Borrower against the amount of the Borrower Obligations owing by the
Borrower to such Lender. Each Lender is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of either a Servicer Termination Event or the Termination Date due to the occurrence of an Event of Termination,
or at any time that any payment obligation of the Servicer hereunder is due and payable, to set off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other
indebtedness held or owing by such Lender to, or for the account of, the Servicer against the amount of such obligations owing by the Servicer to such Lender.
SECTION 10.08. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any
Borrower Obligations or obligation of the Servicer in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable share of such amount, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty a portion of such Borrower Obligations or Servicer obligation held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of such Borrower Obligations or Servicer obligations, as applicable;
provided, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
SECTION 10.09. Limitation of Liability.
(a) Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Lender, any Administrative Agent,
the Program Agent or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents (each a Lender Party), no claim may be made by any Transaction Party or any other Person against any Lender Party for any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of
92
contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in
connection herewith or therewith; and each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of the Conduit Lenders under this Agreement
are solely the corporate obligations of each such Conduit Lender and shall be payable only at such time as funds are actually received by, or are available to, such Conduit Lender in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding
Promissory Notes issued by such Conduit Lender and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Lender until such funds for such purpose thereafter
become available. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Promissory Notes.
(c) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement shall be had against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of such Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by
virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of such Conduit Lender, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator,
stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such
Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by any Conduit Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule
or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing
shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or fraudulent omissions made by them.
SECTION 10.10. Taxes. The Borrower shall pay any and all stamp, sales, transfer and other taxes (including income and franchise
taxes) and fees (including, without limitation, UCC filing fees and any penalties associated with the late payment of any UCC filing fees) payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this
Agreement or the other agreements and documents to be delivered hereunder (including any UCC financing statements) and agrees to indemnify the Program Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the Liquidity Providers against any liabilities
with respect to or resulting from any delay by the Borrower in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.
SECTION 10.11.
No Proceedings. The Borrower, the Servicer, each Lender, each Administrative Agent and the Program Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Conduit Lender any proceeding of the type referred to in
Section 7.01(e) so long as any Promissory Notes of such Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Promissory Notes shall have been outstanding.
93
SECTION 10.12. Confidentiality.
(a) By accepting delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower agrees not to disclose to any person or entity the contents of any Monthly
Report, except (i) to the other parties to this Agreement, (ii) to any Hedge Counterparty, (iii) to its and its Affiliates officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives

provisions of this section applicable to the Borrower, (iii) in connection with any legal or regulatory action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the exercise of any remedies hereunder,

Representative, and (vi) to any Rating Agencies. The Borrower will be responsible for any failure of any Borrower Representative to comply with the provisions of this clause (a).
(b) The Program Agent, the Administrative Agents and the Lenders will not disclose to any person or entity the confidential or
proprietary information of the Borrower or any Originator furnished to the Program Agent, the Administrative Agents and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document (the Borrower Information),
except (i) to their respective Affiliates officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives (collectively, the Lender Representatives) who have a need to know the Borrower
Information for the purpose of assisting in the negotiation, completion and performance of this Agreement and who agree to be bound by the provisions in this section applicable to the Program Agent, the Administrative Agents and the Lenders,
(ii) to each other, (iii) to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them who agree to be bound by the provisions of this section, (iv) to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, subpoena or other legal
process, (v) to the extent requested by any governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Program Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Lenders or any Lender Representative, (vi) to the Rating Agencies, (vii) to
any actual or potential subordinated investor in any Conduit Lender that has signed a confidentiality agreement containing restrictions on disclosure substantially similar to this Section 10.12(b) or (vii) to liquidity providers,
credit enhancers, dealers and investors in respect of Promissory Notes of any Conduit Lender in accordance with the customary practices of such Lender for disclosures to credit enhancers, dealers or investors, as the case may be or any entity
organized for purposes of purchasing or making loans secured by financial assets for which any Administrative Agent acts as program agent and who agree to be bound by the provisions of this section. The Program Agent, the Administrative Agents and
each Lender, as the case may be, will be responsible for any failure of any related Lender Representative to comply with the provisions of this clause (b). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Program Agent, each
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall observe any applicable law prohibiting the disclosure of information regarding Obligors and shall require of each Person to whom disclosure is made pursuant to this Section 10.12(b) to observe
any such applicable laws.
94
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Borrower (and its employees,
representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are
provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.
SECTION 10.13. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Program Agent, any Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
Liquidity Provider to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 10.14.
GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 10.15. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.16. Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Termination.
This Agreement and the other Facility Documents executed by the parties hereto on the date hereof contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall
constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. This
Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until the Final Collection Date; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections
2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and Article VIII, and the provisions of Sections 10.05, 10.06, 10.08, 10.09, 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15 and this
Section 10.16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.17. Headings. The captions and headings
of this Agreement and in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or thereof.
95
SECTION 10.18. Existing Credit Agreement. The parties to the Existing Credit
Agreement agree that, immediately upon the execution of this Agreement, (i) the Existing Credit Agreement shall terminate without any additional action of any type or kind being required on the part of any Person, (ii) all principal,
interest, fees and other Borrower Obligations thereunder shall automatically thereupon become and be immediately due and payable, and (iii) all rights, privileges, benefits and obligations of the parties arising thereunder (other
than the payment of any Borrower Obligations due under clause (i) above) shall terminate, except with respect to the provisions (and the obligations arising thereunder) of the Existing Credit Agreement that survive
termination of the Existing Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. The Borrower shall, out of the proceeds of the initial Advance made under this Agreement repay in full such outstanding Borrower Obligations under the
Existing Credit Agreement. To give effect to the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.18, the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement waive any requirement that any prior notice be provided
under the Existing Credit Agreement, or that a prepayment occur on a settlement date thereunder.
SECTION 10.19. Third
Party Beneficiaries. Each Hedge Counterparty shall be a third party beneficiary to this Agreement solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.16 and 10.02, and shall be entitled to the rights and benefits thereunder.

The Agent, a national banking
association, for itself and for the Lenders referred to below, has entered into a Loan and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2009 (which agreement, as it may be modified, supplemented, extended, replaced or renewed, is referred to
herein as the Loan Agreement) with Borrower, a Nevada corporation, the Customer, a Nevada corporation, the conduit lenders party thereto (the Conduit Lenders), the committed lenders party thereto (the Committed
Lenders and, together with the Conduit Lenders, the Lenders), the administrative agents party thereto, and the syndication agents party thereto. The Loan Agreement provides, subject to its terms and conditions, for extensions of
credit to be made by the Lenders to the Borrower as therein provided. Under the related Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2009, Customer has sold certain receivables (the Receivables) and related
documents (the Loan Files) to the Borrower. Under the Loan Agreement, Borrower has granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and certain other parties identified in the Loan Agreement, a first priority security interest in and
to all of its assets and properties (including, but not limited to, the Collateral as defined therein), including the Receivables and the Loan Files. Under the Loan Agreement, the Customer will act as servicer of the Receivables.
Iron Mountain now has, or from time to time will have, in its possession or under its control, physical materials relating to the Receivables and the
Loan Files including, without limitation the original promissory notes evidencing the Receivables and other documentation related thereto (all of the foregoing being hereinafter called the Collateral).
1
1. Iron Mountain acknowledges, for the benefit of Agent for itself and for the Lenders, that Customer has
been granted access rights (as hereinafter set forth) in and to certain items and materials on deposit with Iron Mountain, such deposit being pursuant to the terms of a certain Customer Agreement between Iron Mountain and the other signatories
thereto, dated February 26, 2004, as it may be modified, supplemented, extended or renewed (Records Management Agreement). This Custodial Access Letter Agreement constitutes notice to Iron Mountain that the Customer has sold the
Receivables and Loan Files to the Borrower, that Customer will continue to service the Receivables for the Borrower and the Lenders and that, as security for the indebtedness of Borrower to the Lenders under the Loan Agreement (the
Indebtedness), Borrower has granted to the Agent, for itself and for the Lenders, a security interest in and to all or substantially all of its assets. In addition, Customer has granted access rights to the Collateral to the Agent
pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
2. Customer will provide irrevocable electronic access to the Loan Files (to the extent Customer has such
access) to Agent by providing Agent with access codes permitting Agent to access the Loan Files using Iron Mountains web-based electronic records system until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
3. Unless and until Iron Mountain receives a written notice from Agent, to the effect that all of the Indebtedness and all of the obligations (other than
contingent obligations not then due) to Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Agreement have been paid and performed in full (the Indebtedness and said obligations being herein collectively referred to as the Obligations), the following
shall apply:
A. |
Customer, Borrower and Agent hereby appoint Iron Mountain as the custodian of the Collateral that may from time to time come into its possession or under its control,
and Iron Mountain agrees to hold all such items of the Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of the Records Management Agreement, except to the extent that such terms and conditions of the Records Management Agreement shall be in conflict
with the terms and conditions set forth in this Custodial Access Letter Agreement, in which event, the terms and conditions set forth herein shall prevail. |
B. |
Iron Mountain will keep all such items of Collateral at its storage facilities located at the addresses set forth below, and will not deliver any of such Collateral
except as may be permitted hereunder; provided that the specific type of Collateral set forth below opposite the address of a particular storage facility shall only be permitted to be located at such storage facility, unless Agent, Borrower and
Customer otherwise agree in writing, and Iron Mountain shall not forward or move any Collateral of any type to any storage facility other than the one designated for such type of Collateral: |
|
|
|
Type of Collateral |
|
Storage Facility Address |
All |
|
640 Maestro Drive, Suite 112 Reno, NV 89511 |
2
C. |
Unless and until Iron Mountain shall have received written notice from the Agent to the contrary (which notice the Agent agrees, solely for the benefit of the Borrower,
shall not be delivered while an Event of Termination (as defined in the Loan Agreement) does not exist), Iron Mountain will permit Customer, Customers affiliates and designees of Customer and/or its affiliates to have access to the Loan Files,
which Customer agrees shall only be utilized in a manner that does not conflict with the Loan Agreement. |
D. |
On receipt of the notice contemplated in Section 3C above (without further investigation and without any duty to inquire with Customer, Agent, or any other party),
Iron Mountain agrees to hold all items of Collateral within its possession or under its control as custodian, subject only to the written order of Agent. |
4. Customer agrees with Agent to cause all of the Collateral delivered to it pursuant to Section 3C to be returned to Iron Mountain as soon as
commercially practicable.
5. Iron Mountain agrees to hold the Collateral in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, until such
time as Agent notifies Iron Mountain as provided in Section 3 above that Agent no longer has any rights under this Agreement. After receipt of the notice contemplated in Section 3C above, Iron Mountain will cause to be delivered or made
available to Agent or its nominee, as the case may be, the Collateral and all physical properties thereof in Iron Mountains possession or under its control for the purpose of enabling Agent to deal with the same pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
6. Customer and Borrower hereby irrevocably waive any claim for damages or otherwise which Customer or Borrower may have against Iron
Mountain for any acts which Iron Mountain may take pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, those taken at the direction of the Agent pursuant hereto.
A. |
The rights of Iron Mountain against Customer shall be limited to Iron Mountains charges for storage, work, labor and related storage management services ordered
by and rendered for Customer, and the materials ordered by and furnished to Customer solely in connection with the terms of the Records Management Agreement. All such services and materials ordered by Customer shall be at the expense of Customer and
Iron Mountain agrees to look solely to Customer for payment of such charges as may be incurred. The Agent shall not be responsible for any such charges, except for materials and services ordered by Agent. |
B. |
Customer and Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that Iron Mountains liability in the event of loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Collateral is limited as
set forth in the Records Management Agreement. |
C. |
The rights of Iron Mountain shall be subordinate to the rights and security interest granted to Agent in respect of the Collateral; and the rights of Iron Mountain
against Customer shall be limited to Iron Mountains normal and customary charges for services ordered by and rendered for Customer, and the materials ordered by and furnished to Customer solely in connection with the Collateral.
|
3
D. |
Agent agrees to give prompt written notice to Iron Mountain if, and when, the Obligations have been satisfied and Agents security interest in the Collateral has
terminated. Upon receipt of such written notice, Iron Mountains obligations hereunder shall terminate and Iron Mountain shall thereafter hold the Collateral constructively for Customer and shall thereafter deal with the Collateral solely upon
and subject to the instructions of Customer. |
II. All notices, requests and other communications provided for in this Agreement
shall be given or made in writing, delivered to the intended recipient at the address specified below its name on the address blocks on the first page hereto, or as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice
to each other party. All such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopier with evidence of receipt by the addressee (and confirmed in writing via United States first class mail) or personally delivered or,
in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case, given or addressed as set forth above.
III. This Agreement shall be binding on
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Each of Iron Mountain and Customer can assign its obligations under this Agreement only with the prior written consent of Agent. Iron Mountain may terminate
its obligations under this Agreement and the related Records Management Agreement upon providing not less than sixty (60) days notice to both Customer and Agent.
IV. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements executed and wholly
to be performed therein. No amendment to his Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by each party hereto. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
V. Each of Customer and Iron Mountain hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to his Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Customer and Iron Mountain irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
VI. This Agreement supersedes and replaces that certain Custodial Access Letter Agreement dated January 26, 2009 by and among the parties hereto.
Very truly yours,
