Our business exhibits seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer activity months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters. The COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted our business and these seasonal trends typical in our business. See the “COVID-19 Pandemic” section below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in revised estimates and assumptions.

Significant Accounting Policies

Certain new accounting pronouncements have become effective for our financial statements during 2021, but the adoption of these pronouncements did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Concentration Risk

Approximately 12% and 14% of our rent income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was from one multi-site operator.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our wholesale business purchased approximately 36%, 23%, 11% and 10% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP, Motiva and Marathon, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our wholesale business purchased approximately 27%, 22%, 13% and 10% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP, Motiva and Marathon, respectively. No other fuel suppliers accounted for 10% or more of our motor fuel purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Approximately 16% of our motor fuel gallons sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were delivered by one carrier.

Prior Year Acquisitions

We completed six tranches of the asset exchange with Circle K on May 21, 2019, September 5, 2019, February 25, 2020, April 7, 2020, May 5, 2020 and September 15, 2020. With the closing of the sixth tranche, the transactions contemplated under the Asset Exchange Agreement we entered into with Circle K on December 17, 2018 (“Asset Exchange Agreement”) were concluded. Through these transactions, we acquired 191 sites in exchange for the real property at 56 sites as well as 17 sites previously owned and operated by the Partnership. Although we no longer collect rent from the sites divested in these transactions, we continue to distribute fuel to them on a wholesale basis.

Effective March 25, 2020, we closed on the CST Fuel Supply Exchange. Through this transaction, we acquired 33 sites, wholesale fuel supply to 331 additional sites and $14.1 million in proceeds in exchange for our investment in CST Fuel Supply.

On April 14, 2020, we closed on the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets. Through these transactions, we expanded the retail operations of the Partnership by 169 sites (154 company operated sites and 15 commission sites) through a combination of (1) entering into new leasing arrangements with related parties as the lessee for 62 sites and (2) terminating contracts where we were previously the lessor and fuel supplier under dealer arrangements for 107 sites that then became company operated sites. As a result of closing on these transactions, we expanded our wholesale fuel distribution by 110 sites, including 53 third-party wholesale dealer contracts, and supply of the 62 newly leased sites.

COVID-19 Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus spread worldwide, including to the U.S., posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions.

We experienced a sharp decrease in fuel volume in mid-to-late March 2020. Although fuel volumes largely recovered during the second half of 2020 and continue to recover in 2021, we cannot predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Sustained decreases in fuel volume or erosion of margin could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, financial position and ultimately our ability to pay distributions.

Note 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS FROM 7-ELEVEN

On April 28, 2021, certain newly formed subsidiaries of CrossAmerica, including Joe’s Kwik Marts (collectively, “Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with 7-Eleven, Inc., a Texas corporation (“7-Eleven”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase certain assets related to the ownership and operations of 106 company operated sites (90 fee; 16 leased) located in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. (collectively, the “Properties”) for an aggregate purchase price of $263.0 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The assets are being sold by 7-Eleven as part of a divestiture process in connection with its previously announced acquisition of the Speedway business from MPC.

The assets being purchased by Buyer include real property and leasehold rights to the Properties, and all inventory and other assets located at the Properties, other than specific excluded assets, such as rights to intellectual property or rights with respect to “7-Eleven” or “Speedway” branding. The vast majority of the sites being purchased have been operating under the Speedway brand, and all sites are being rebranded in connection with the closing of such site pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Buyer is also assuming certain specified liabilities associated with the assets.

The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, including covenants regarding the conduct of the business at the Properties prior to the applicable closing of such Property.

Buyer is closing the acquisition of the Properties on a rolling basis of generally ten sites per week. Through September 30, 2021, Buyer consummated the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement of 98 Properties for a purchase price of $262.0 million, including inventory and other working capital, as summarized in the table below (in thousands).

Inventories	$	11,745
Other current assets		1,301
Property and equipment		200,244

Operating lease obligations, less current portion		6,376
Asset retirement obligations		3,628
Total liabilities	$	12,189
Total consideration, net of cash acquired	$	261,993

The fair value of inventory was estimated at retail selling price less estimated costs to sell and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort.

The fair value of land was based on a market approach. The value of buildings and equipment was based on a cost approach. The buildings and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis, with estimated remaining useful lives of 20 years for the buildings and five to 30 years for equipment.

The fair value of the wholesale fuel distribution rights included in intangible assets was based on an income approach. Management believes the level and timing of cash flows represent relevant market participant assumptions. The wholesale fuel distribution rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 10 years.

The fair value of goodwill represents expected synergies from combining operations, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, and other factors. All goodwill is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes.

Management continues to review the valuation and is confirming the result to determine the final purchase price allocation.

We funded these transactions primarily through the new JKM Credit Facility further described in Note 8 as well as undrawn capacity under our existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand.

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

Net income		9,805		29,702		22,740		125,625

Such pro forma results are based on historical results of the Partnership, the historical results of the assets acquired or to be acquired from 7-Eleven as they occurred under the ownership of 7-Eleven or MPC, and certain pro forma adjustments relating to acquisition costs, interest expense and income taxes. See our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on November 3, 2021, for additional information.

CAPL Credit Facility

On July 28, 2021, the Partnership entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2019 (as previously amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2019, the “CAPL Credit Facility”), among the Partnership and Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc., as borrowers, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, (i) amended certain provisions relating to unrestricted subsidiaries, (ii) increased the maximum level for the consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant to 6.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, 5.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022, and 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, after which the maximum level generally reverts to 4.75 to 1.00 unless in a specified acquisition period or a qualified note offering has occurred, and (iii) modified the applicable margin for borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility (as amended by the Amendment), such that borrowings will bear interest, at the Partnership’s option, at either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% per annum or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 2.00% per annum (in each case depending on the Partnership’s consolidated leverage ratio).

We are also required to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the CAPL Credit Facility) of at least 2.50 to 1.00. We were in compliance with our financial covenants at September 30, 2021.

Our CAPL Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, including our equity interest in an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CrossAmerica and the sole member of CAPL JKM Partners LLC named CAPL JKM Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), other than the assets of unrestricted subsidiaries designated as such under the CAPL Credit Facility. Holdings and its subsidiaries are unrestricted subsidiaries under the CAPL Credit Facility. Letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 totaled $4.0 million. The amount of availability under the CAPL Credit Facility at September 30, 2021, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, was $70.5 million.

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Taking the interest rate swap contracts described in Note 9 into account, our effective interest rate on our CAPL Credit Facility at September 30, 2021 was 2.3% (our applicable margin was 2.0% as of September 30, 2021).

JKM Credit Facility

On July 16, 2021, CAPL JKM Partners LLC (“Borrower”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CrossAmerica, entered into a Credit Agreement, as amended on July 29, 2021 (the “JKM Credit Facility”) among Borrower, Holdings, Borrower, and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank.

The JKM Credit Facility provides for a $200 million senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $185 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $15 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility permits up to $7.5 million of swingline borrowings and $5.0 million in letters of credit. The interest rate applicable to loans outstanding under the JKM Credit Facility is equal to, at Borrower’s option, either (i) a base rate plus a margin (which will be determined based on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio) ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin (which will also be determined based on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio) ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum. Commencing on the earliest of (a) the date on which the entire amount of the Term Loan Facility has been drawn, (b) the date on which the Term Loan Facility has been terminated or reduced to zero pursuant to the JKM Credit Facility, and (c) April 16, 2022, the Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to 1.50% of the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Letters of credit are subject to a 0.125% fronting fee and other customary administrative charges. Standby letters of credit accrue a fee at a rate based on the applicable margin of LIBOR loans. In addition, beginning in October 2021, a commitment fee was charged based on the unused portion of the JKM Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum depending on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio. The JKM Credit Facility will mature on July 16, 2026.

The obligations under the JKM Credit Facility are guaranteed by Holdings and its subsidiaries (other than Borrower) and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Holdings and its subsidiaries (including Borrower). The obligations under the JKM Credit Facility are nonrecourse to CrossAmerica and its subsidiaries other than Holdings, Borrower and their respective subsidiaries.

The JKM Credit Facility contains customary events of default and covenants, including, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to create or incur liens on assets, make investments, incur additional indebtedness, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets.

The JKM Credit Facility also contains financial covenants requiring Borrower to comply with, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, commencing with Borrower’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 6.25 to 1.00, with step-downs to 6.00 to 1.00, 5.75 to 1.00, 5.50 to 1.00 and 5.25 to 1.00 on March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00.

If an event of default under the JKM Credit Facility occurs and is continuing, the commitments thereunder may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder, may be declared immediately due and payable.

Letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2021 totaled $0.8 million.

Our borrowings under the JKM Credit Facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 2.6% as of September 30, 2021 (LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which was 2.5% as of September 30, 2021).

As of November 4, 2021, we had $182.5 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. The amount of availability under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility at November 4, 2021 was $2.5 million and $14.2 million, respectively.

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 9. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACTS

The interest payments on our CAPL Credit Facility vary based on monthly changes in the one-month LIBOR and changes, if any, in the applicable margin, which is based on our leverage ratio as further discussed in Note 8. To hedge against interest rate volatility on our variable rate borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility, on March 26, 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap contract. The interest rate swap contract has a notional amount of $150 million, a fixed rate of 0.495% and matures on April 1, 2024. On April 15, 2020, we entered into two additional interest rate swap contracts, each with notional amounts of $75 million, a fixed rate of 0.38% and that mature on April 1, 2024. All of these interest rate swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and are expected to be highly effective.

The fair value of these interest rate swap contracts, for which the current portion is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets or other long-term liabilities, as applicable, was a $0.2 million net asset and a $2.5 million net liability at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 12 for additional information on the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts.

We report the unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate swap contracts designated as highly effective cash flow hedges as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassify such gains and losses into earnings in the same period during which the hedged interest expense is recorded. We recognized a net realized loss from settlements of the interest rate swap contracts of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We currently estimate that a loss of $1.0 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense during the next 12 months; however, the actual amount that will be reclassified will vary based on changes in interest rates.

Principal Executive Offices

Our principal executive offices are in Allentown, Pennsylvania. We lease office space from an affiliate of John B. Reilly, III and Joseph V. Topper, Jr., members of our Board, as approved by the independent conflicts committee of the Board. Rent expense amounted to $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Public Relations and Website Consulting Services

We have engaged a company affiliated with a member of the Board for public relations and website consulting services. The cost of these services was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

We have minimum volume purchase requirements under certain of our fuel supply agreements with a purchase price at prevailing market rates for wholesale distribution. In the event we fail to purchase the required minimum volume for a given contract year, the underlying third party’s exclusive remedies (depending on the magnitude of the failure) are either termination of the supply agreement and/or a financial penalty per gallon based on the volume shortfall for the given year. We did not incur any significant penalties during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.

Litigation Matters

We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damages, environmental damages, employment-related claims and damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record an accrual when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. None of these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success. Management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation.

Environmental Matters

We currently own or lease retail sites where refined petroleum products are being or have been handled. These retail sites and the refined petroleum products handled thereon may be subject to federal and state environmental laws and regulations. Under such laws and regulations, we could be required to remove or remediate containerized hazardous liquids or associated generated wastes (including wastes disposed of or abandoned by prior owners or operators), to remediate contaminated property arising from the release of liquids or wastes into the environment, including contaminated groundwater, or to implement best management practices to prevent future contamination.

We maintain insurance of various types with varying levels of coverage that is considered adequate under the circumstances to cover operations and properties. The insurance policies are subject to deductibles that are considered reasonable and not excessive. In addition, we have entered into indemnification and escrow agreements with various sellers in conjunction with several of their respective acquisitions, as further described below. Financial responsibility for environmental remediation is negotiated in connection with each acquisition transaction. In each case, an assessment is made of potential environmental liability exposure based on available information. Based on that assessment and relevant economic and risk factors, a determination is made whether to, and the extent to which we will, assume liability for existing environmental conditions.

Environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheet within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities totaled $5.6 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Indemnification assets related to third-party escrow funds, state funds or insurance recorded on the balance sheet within other current assets and other noncurrent assets totaled $3.5 million and $3.1 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. State funds represent probable state reimbursement amounts. Reimbursement will depend upon the continued maintenance and solvency of the state. Insurance coverage represents amounts deemed probable of reimbursement under insurance policies.

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The estimates used in these reserves are based on all known facts at the time and an assessment of the ultimate remedial action outcomes. We will adjust loss accruals as further information becomes available or circumstances change. Among the many uncertainties that impact the estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modifications of remediation plans, the amount of data available upon initial assessment of the impact of soil or water contamination, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment and the possibility of existing legal claims giving rise to additional claims.

Environmental liabilities related to the sites contributed to the Partnership in connection with our IPO have not been assigned to us and are still the responsibility of the Predecessor Entity. The Predecessor Entity indemnified us for any costs or expenses that we incur for environmental liabilities and third-party claims, regardless of when a claim is made, that are based on environmental conditions in existence prior to the closing of the IPO for contributed sites. As such, these environmental liabilities and indemnification assets are not recorded on the balance sheet of the Partnership.

Similarly, we have generally been indemnified with respect to known contamination at sites acquired from third parties, including our acquisition of certain assets from 7-Eleven. As such, these environmental liabilities and indemnification assets are also not recorded on the balance sheet of the Partnership.

Note 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure and report certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation.

Transfers into or out of any hierarchy level are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. There were no transfers between any levels in 2021 or 2020.

As further discussed in Note 9, we entered into interest rate swap contracts during 2020 and remeasure the fair value of such contracts on a recurring basis each balance sheet date. We used an income approach to measure the fair value of these contracts, utilizing a forward LIBOR yield curve for the same period as the future interest rate swap settlements. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2.

As further discussed in Note 13, we have accrued for unvested phantom units and phantom performance units as a liability and adjust that liability on a recurring basis based on the market price of our common units each balance sheet date. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 1.

The fair value of our accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset and the consistency of the market spread.

Note 13. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity-based compensation expense was $0.3 million and insignificant for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $1.1 million and insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The liability for equity-based awards was $0.9 million and insignificant at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

In February 2021, the Partnership granted 1,509 phantom units to each of three non-employee directors of the Board as a portion of director compensation. In July 2021, 16,833 phantom units vested, including those granted in February 2021.

In July 2021, the Partnership granted 3,252 phantom units to each of five non-employee directors of the Board. Such awards will vest in July 2022, conditioned upon continuous service as non-employee directors. These awards were accompanied by tandem distribution equivalent rights that entitle the holder to cash payments equal to the amount of unit distributions authorized to be paid to the holders of our common units.

During the second quarter of 2021, 6,090 phantom units and performance-based awards with an initial target value of $0.1 million were forfeited.

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In October 2021, the Partnership granted 33,045 phantom units to employees of the Topper Group. Of these awards, 50% vest ratably over three years through December 31, 2024 and 50% vest upon the employee’s death, disability or retirement. These awards were accompanied by tandem distribution equivalent rights that entitle the holder to cash payments equal to the amount of unit distributions authorized to be paid to the holders of our common units.

In October 2021, the Partnership granted performance-based awards with an initial target value of $0.8 million. The performance-based awards vest on December 31, 2024 based on attainment of the performance goals set forth in the award agreements. The performance-based awards are weighted 65% for the increase of funds flow from operations per unit (as defined in the award agreements) and 35% for leverage (as defined in the award agreements), with a performance period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 and the reference period for the year ended December 31, 2021. The payout value for both performance conditions will be interpolated on a linear basis ranging from 0% to 200%, which will then be multiplied by the initial target value to determine the value of the units to be issued. The value of the units will then be divided by the 20-day volume-weighted average closing price of our common units as of the close of trading on the day before the conversion date to determine the actual number of units to be issued.

Note 14. INCOME TAXES

As a limited partnership, we are not subject to federal and state income taxes. However, our corporate subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. Income tax attributable to our taxable income (including any dividend income from our corporate subsidiaries), which may differ significantly from income for financial statement purposes, is assessed at the individual limited partner unitholder level. We are subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, cannot exceed 10% of total gross income for the calendar year. If non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, we would be taxed as a corporation. The non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit in any annual period.

Certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through our wholly owned taxable corporate subsidiaries, LGWS and Joe’s Kwik Marts. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized on the earnings of these subsidiaries. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $1.7 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as a result of the losses incurred by our corporate subsidiaries. The effective tax rate differs from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because only LGWS and Joe’s Kwik Marts are subject to income tax.

Note 15. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT

We compute income per unit using the two-class method under which any excess of distributions declared over net income shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income as specified in the Partnership Agreement. Net income per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting the IDRs, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common units.

Since February 6, 2020, our common units are the only participating securities. On February 6, 2020, we closed on the Equity Restructuring Agreement that eliminated the IDRs.

The amount of any distribution is subject to the discretion of the Board, which may modify or revoke our cash distribution policy at any time. Our Partnership Agreement does not require us to pay any distributions. As such, there can be no assurance we will continue to pay distributions in the future.

Note 16. SEGMENT REPORTING

We conduct our business in two segments: 1) the Wholesale segment and 2) the Retail segment. The wholesale segment includes the wholesale distribution of motor fuel to lessee dealers, independent dealers, commission agents, DMS (through the closing of the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets as further described under “Prior Year Acquisitions” in Note 1) and company operated retail sites. We have exclusive motor fuel distribution contracts with lessee dealers who lease the property from us. We also have exclusive distribution contracts with independent dealers to distribute motor fuel but do not collect rent from the independent dealers. Similar to lessee dealers, we had motor fuel distribution and lease agreements with DMS (through the closing of the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets). The Retail segment includes the retail sale of motor fuel at retail sites operated by commission agents and the sale of convenience merchandise items and the retail sale of motor fuel at company operated sites. A commission agent is a retail site where we retain title to the motor fuel inventory and sell it directly to our end user customers. At commission agent retail sites, we manage motor fuel inventory pricing and retain the gross profit on motor fuel sales, less a commission to the agent who operates the retail site. Similar to our Wholesale segment, we also generate revenues through leasing or subleasing real estate in our Retail segment.

Unallocated items consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, gains on dispositions and lease terminations, net, and the elimination of the Retail segment’s intersegment cost of revenues from motor fuel sales against the Wholesale segment’s intersegment revenues from motor fuel sales. The profit in ending inventory generated by the intersegment motor fuel sales is also eliminated. Total assets by segment are not presented as management does not currently assess performance or allocate resources based on that data.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Performance obligations are satisfied as fuel is delivered to the customer and as merchandise is sold to the consumer. Many of our fuel contracts with our customers include minimum purchase volumes measured on a monthly basis, although such revenue is not material. Receivables from fuel are recognized on a per-gallon rate and are generally collected within 10 days of delivery.

The balance of unamortized costs incurred to obtain certain contracts with customers was $9.9 million and $8.3 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Amortization of such costs is recorded against operating revenues and amounted to $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Receivables from rent and other lease-related charges are generally collected at the beginning of the month.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Assets from 7-Eleven

On April 28, 2021, Buyer entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with 7-Eleven, pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase certain assets related to the ownership and operations of 106 company operated sites (90 fee; 16 leased) located in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. (the “Properties”) for an aggregate purchase price of $263.0 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The assets are being sold by 7-Eleven as part of a divestiture process in connection with its previously announced acquisition of the Speedway business from MPC.

We funded these transactions primarily through the new JKM Credit Facility further described in Note 8 to the financial statements as well as undrawn capacity under our existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand.

JKM Credit Facility

On July 16, 2021, CAPL JKM Partners LLC (“Borrower”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CrossAmerica, entered into a Credit Agreement, as amended on July 29, 2021 (the “JKM Credit Facility”) among Borrower, Holdings and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank.

As of November 4, 2021, we had $182.5 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility.

Amendment to CAPL Credit Facility

On July 28, 2021, the Partnership entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2019 (as previously amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2019, the “CAPL Credit Facility”), among the Partnership and Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc., as borrowers, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, (i) amended certain provisions relating to unrestricted subsidiaries, (ii) increased the maximum level for the consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant to 6.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, 5.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022, and 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, after which the maximum level generally reverts to 4.75 to 1.00 unless in a specified acquisition period or a qualified note offering has occurred, and (iii) modified the applicable margin for borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility (as amended by the Amendment), such that borrowings bear interest, at the Partnership’s option, at either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% per annum or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 2.00% per annum (in each case depending on the Partnership’s consolidated leverage ratio).

See Notes 2 and 8 to the financial statements for additional information regarding this acquisition and the related financing.

COVID-19 Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus spread worldwide, including to the U.S., posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions. We experienced a sharp decrease in fuel volume in mid-to-late March 2020. Although fuel volumes largely recovered during the second half of 2020 and continue to recover in 2021, we cannot predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Sustained decreases in fuel volume or erosion of margin could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, financial position and ultimately our ability to pay distributions.

Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability

The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Wholesale segment

The prices paid to our motor fuel suppliers for wholesale motor fuel (which affects our cost of sales) are highly correlated to the price of crude oil. The crude oil commodity markets are highly volatile, and the market prices of crude oil, and, correspondingly, the market prices of wholesale motor fuel, experience significant and rapid fluctuations. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we received a fixed mark-up per gallon on approximately 67% of gallons sold to our customers. The remaining gallons are primarily DTW priced contracts, including intersegment sales to the Retail segment. These contracts provide for variable, market-based pricing that results in motor fuel gross profit effects similar to retail motor fuel gross profits (as crude oil prices decline, motor fuel gross profit generally increases, as discussed in our Retail segment below). The increase in DTW gross profit results from the cost of wholesale motor fuel declining at a faster rate as compared to the rate that retail motor fuel prices decline. Conversely, our DTW motor fuel gross profit generally declines when the cost of wholesale motor fuel increases at a faster rate as compared to the rate that retail motor fuel prices increase.

Regarding our supplier relationships, a majority of our total gallons purchased are subject to Terms Discounts. The dollar value of these discounts increases and decreases corresponding to motor fuel prices. Therefore, in periods of lower wholesale motor fuel prices, our gross profit is negatively affected, and, in periods of higher wholesale motor fuel prices, our gross profit is positively affected (as it relates to these discounts).

Retail segment

We attempt to pass along wholesale motor fuel price changes to our retail customers through “at the pump” retail price changes; however, market conditions do not always allow us to do so immediately. The timing of any related increase or decrease in “at the pump” retail prices is affected by competitive conditions in each geographic market in which we operate. As such, the prices we charge our customers for motor fuel and the gross profit we receive on our motor fuel sales can increase or decrease significantly over short periods of time.

Changes in our average motor fuel selling price per gallon and gross margin are directly related to the changes in crude oil and wholesale motor fuel prices. Variations in our reported revenues and cost of sales are, therefore, primarily related to the price of crude oil and wholesale motor fuel prices and generally not as a result of changes in motor fuel sales volumes, unless otherwise indicated and discussed below.

We typically experience lower retail motor fuel gross profits in periods when the wholesale cost of motor fuel increases, and higher retail motor fuel gross profits in periods when the wholesale cost of motor fuel declines. Since the Wholesale segment supplies all fuel requirements to the Retail segment, a portion of that volatility is absorbed by the Wholesale segment.

As previously reported, we converted 46 company operated sites to dealer operated sites in the third quarter of 2019. As a result of this transition, we did not have any company operated sites for the period from September 30, 2019 through closing on the retail and wholesale acquisition on April 14, 2020, since which we have again been operating company operated sites.

Seasonality Effects on Volumes

Our business is subject to seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation affects our financial performance by increasing certain of our operating expenses and cost of goods sold. Operating expenses include labor costs, leases, and general and administrative expenses. While our Wholesale segment benefits from higher Terms Discounts as a result of higher fuel costs, inflation could negatively impact our operating expenses. Although we have historically been able to pass on increased costs through price increases, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

Acquisition and Financing Activity

Our results of operations and financial condition are also impacted by our acquisition and financing activities as summarized below.

•

On February 6, 2020, we closed on the Equity Restructuring Agreement that eliminated the IDRs.

•

We completed the final four tranches of the asset exchange with Circle K on February 25, 2020, April 7, 2020, May 5, 2020 and September 15, 2020. With the closing of the sixth tranche, the transactions contemplated under the Asset Exchange were concluded.

•

Effective March 25, 2020, we closed on the CST Fuel Supply Exchange.

•

On April 14, 2020, we closed on the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets.

•

Through September 30, 2021, we closed on the purchase of 98 sites of our 106-site acquisition from 7-Eleven and in July 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement and amended our existing credit facility as previously discussed under “Recent Developments—Acquisition of Assets from 7-Eleven.”

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Consolidated Results

Operating revenues increased $394 million (67%) and gross profit increased $13.5 million (22%).

Operating revenues

Significant items impacting these results prior to the elimination of intercompany revenues were:

•

A $360 million (74%) increase in our Wholesale segment revenues primarily attributable to a 73% increase in the average daily spot price of WTI crude oil to $70.58 per barrel for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $40.89 per barrel for the third quarter of 2020. The wholesale price of motor fuel is highly correlated to the price of crude oil. See “Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability—The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.” In addition, volume increased 8% primarily as a result of volume generated by the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

•

A $167 million (71%) increase in our Retail segment revenues primarily attributable to the increase in company operated sites as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and a 43% increase in the average retail fuel price from the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021 primarily due to the increase in wholesale motor fuel prices as noted above. Volume also increased 29% for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic. Lastly, merchandise revenues increased $12.0 million (26%) driven by the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Intersegment revenues

We present the results of operations of our segments on a consistent basis with how our management views the business. Therefore, our segments are presented before intersegment eliminations (which consist of motor fuel sold by our Wholesale segment to our Retail segment). As a result, in order to reconcile to our consolidated change in operating revenues, a discussion of the change in intersegment revenues is included in our consolidated MD&A discussion.

Our intersegment revenues increased $132 million (103%), primarily attributable to the increase in wholesale fuel prices and the incremental intersegment revenues generated by the company operated sites acquired in the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased $381 million (72%), which was a result of the increase in wholesale motor fuel prices and the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic discussed above.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $13.5 million (22%), which was primarily driven by increases in motor fuel, merchandise and other gross profit due to the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven along with higher terms discounts as a result of higher crude prices in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in prior year and incremental fuel margin from higher volume driven by the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic. See “Results of Operations—Segment Results” for additional gross profit analyses.

Operating expenses

See “Results of Operations—Segment Results” for analyses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $4.5 million (85%) primarily driven by a $3.8 million increase in acquisition-related costs as a result of higher legal fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and a $0.3 million increase in equity-based compensation expense as a result of more grants being outstanding during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $0.5 million (3%) primarily from incremental depreciation, amortization and accretion expense from the property and equipment and intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in impairment charges related to our ongoing real estate rationalization effort and the resulting reclassification of these sites to assets held for sale.

Gain on dispositions and lease terminations, net

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $0.4 million in gains in connection with our ongoing real estate rationalization effort, partially offset by net losses on lease terminations and asset disposals.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $11.4 million in gains related to the properties sold in the asset exchanges with Circle K. In addition, we recorded $2.2 million in gains in connection with our ongoing real estate rationalization effort.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $1.4 million (40%), primarily driven by $0.5 million in interest expense incurred on the JKM Credit Facility along with a $0.4 million increase in amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of entering into the JKM Credit Facility and the amendment to the CAPL Credit Facility. Lastly, we incurred $0.4 million more in interest expense on the CAPL Credit Facility due to the higher outstanding balance driven by the borrowings to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Income tax benefit

We recorded income tax benefits of $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The benefits were primarily driven by losses incurred by our taxable subsidiaries.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Consolidated Results

Operating revenues increased $1.1 billion (81%) and gross profit increased $40 million (26%).

Operating revenues

Significant items impacting these results prior to the elimination of intercompany revenues were:

•

A $982 million (84%) increase in our Wholesale segment revenues primarily attributable to a 71% increase in the average daily spot price of WTI crude oil to $65.05 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $38.04 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The wholesale price of motor fuel is highly correlated to the price of crude oil. See “Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability—The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.” Volume increased 21% primarily as a result of volume generated by the asset exchanges with Circle K, the CST Fuel Supply Exchange, the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets and the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven (the average number of sites with wholesale fuel distribution increased 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020) as well as from the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

•

A $488 million (105%) increase in our Retail segment revenues primarily attributable to the increase in company operated and commission sites as a result of the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets, the March 2020 CST Fuel Supply Exchange and the acquisition of the 7-Eleven assets (the average total system sites increased 27% for the nine months ended September 2021 compared to the same period in 2020). Volume increased 57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 driven by the acquisitions as well as the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic. The average retail fuel price increased 37% between those same periods due primarily due to the increase in wholesale motor fuel prices as noted above. In addition, merchandise revenues increased $58.2 million (70%) driven by the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets and the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Intersegment revenues

Our intersegment revenues increased $349 million (137%) primarily attributable to the incremental intersegment revenues generated by the company operated and commission sites acquired in the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets, the March 2020 CST Fuel Supply Exchange, the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven as well as higher volume from the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased $1.1 billion (88%) as a result of the increase in wholesale motor fuel prices and the impact of the increase in sites acquired in the asset exchanges with Circle K, the CST Fuel Supply Exchange, the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets and the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven as well as the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic discussed above.

Gross profit

The $40 million (26%) increase in gross profit was primarily driven by increases in motor fuel and merchandise gross profit due to 1) the CST Fuel Supply Exchange, which primarily resulted in an increase in fuel margin and a decrease in income from CST Fuel Supply equity interests; 2) the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets, which primarily resulted in an increase in fuel margin and merchandise margin and other revenues partially offset by a decrease in lease margin; 3) the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, which resulted in an increase in fuel margin, merchandise margin and other revenues; and 4) an increase in volume driven by the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic. See “Results of Operations—Segment Results” for additional gross profit analyses.

Income from CST Fuel Supply equity interests and Operating expenses

See “Results of Operations—Segment Results” for analyses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $9.0 million (58%) primarily driven by a $5.9 million increase in acquisition-related costs as a result of higher legal fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven, a $1.5 million increase in management fees related to the increase in headcount, a $1.0 million increase in equity-based compensation expense as a result of more grants being outstanding during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period of the prior year and overall higher general and administrative expenses stemming from the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in credit loss expense.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $4.9 million (9%) primarily from the property and equipment and intangible assets acquired in the asset exchanges with Circle K, the CST Fuel Supply Exchange, the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets and the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven. We recorded $6.4 million in impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $8.2 million during the same period of 2020, primarily related to our ongoing real estate rationalization effort and the resulting reclassification of these sites to assets held for sale.

Gain on dispositions and lease terminations, net

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $1.5 million gain related to sites sold in connection with our ongoing real estate rationalization effort, partially offset by net losses on lease terminations and asset disposals.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $67.6 million gain on the sale of our 17.5% investment in CST Fuel Supply. In addition, we recorded $19.3 million in gains related to the properties sold in the asset exchanges with Circle K and $4.0 million in gains related to the sale of sites in connection with our ongoing real estate rationalization effort. Partially offsetting these gains, we recorded a $10.9 loss on lease terminations, including a write-off of deferred rent income, in connection with the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $0.9 million (7%) primarily driven by a reduction in interest expense on borrowings under our CAPL Credit Facility due to a decrease in the average interest rate from 2.8% to 2.1%. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest expense due to the higher outstanding balance on the CAPL Credit Facility driven by the borrowings to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven. In addition, we incurred $0.5 million in interest expense on the JKM Credit Facility along with a $0.4 million increase in amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of entering into the JKM Credit Facility and the amendment to the CAPL Credit Facility.

Income tax benefit

We recorded income tax benefits of $1.7 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The benefits were primarily driven by losses incurred by our taxable subsidiaries.

Segment Results

We present the results of operations of our segments consistent with how our management views the business. Therefore, our segments are presented before intersegment eliminations (which consist of motor fuel sold by our Wholesale segment to our Retail segment). These comparisons are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Wholesale

The following table highlights the results of operations and certain operating metrics of our Wholesale segment. The narrative following these tables provides an analysis of the results of operations of that segment (thousands of dollars, except for the number of distribution sites and per gallon amounts):

(a)	Represents income from our equity interest in CST Fuel Supply. The CST Fuel Supply Exchange closed on March 25, 2020.

(b)	In addition, as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, we distributed motor fuel to 14 sub-wholesalers who distributed to additional sites.

(c)

The decrease in the independent dealer site count was primarily attributable to loss of contracts, most of which were lower margin, partially offset by the increase in independent dealer sites as a result of the real estate rationalization effort and the resulting reclassification of the site from a lessee dealer or commission site to an independent dealer site when we continue to supply the sites after divestiture.

(d)	The decreases in the lessee dealer and commission agent site counts were primarily attributable to our real estate rationalization effort.

(e)	The increase in the company operated site count was primarily attributable to the 98 company operated sites from the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Gross profit increased $5.4 million (12%) and operating income increased $5.0 million (14%). The results were driven by:

Motor fuel gross profit

The $3.4 million (11%) increase in motor fuel gross profit was primarily driven by an 8% increase in volume as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven as well as the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic. In addition, we benefited from higher terms discounts as a result of higher crude prices. The average spot price of WTI crude oil increased 73% from $40.89 per barrel for the third quarter of 2020 to $70.58 per barrel for the third quarter of 2021. See “Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability—The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.”

Rent gross profit

Rent gross profit increased $1.4 million (12%) primarily as a result of the $0.5 million in rent concessions that impacted the third quarter of 2020.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $0.4 million (4%), primarily as a result of increases in management fees and insurance expense.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Gross profit increased $8.6 million (7%) and operating income increased $2.7 million (3%). The results were driven by:

Motor fuel gross profit

The $7.1 million (9%) increase in motor fuel gross profit was primarily driven by a 21% increase in volume as a result of the asset exchanges with Circle K, the CST Fuel Supply Exchange, the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets, the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic. In addition, we benefited from higher terms discounts as a result of higher crude prices. The average spot price of WTI crude oil increased 71% from $38.04 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $65.05 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. However, DTW margins were lower due to the movements in wholesale fuel prices throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same time period of 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the daily spot price of WTI crude oil increased from $48 per barrel at the start of the year to $75 per barrel as of September 30, 2021, a 56% increase, which adversely impacted fuel margins for our variable priced gallons during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we benefitted from the reduction in wholesale fuel prices. As such, DTW margins were negatively impacted for the first nine months of 2021 as compared to the first nine months of 2020. See “Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability—The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.”

Rent gross profit

Rent gross profit increased $0.5 million (1%) primarily due to $0.5 million in rent concessions during the second quarter of 2020 and the positive impact from the CST Fuel Exchange, partially offset by a decrease as a result of terminating leases in connection with the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets.

Income from CST Fuel Supply equity interests

Income from CST Fuel Supply equity interests is no longer generated as a result of the March 2020 CST Fuel Supply Exchange.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $2.7 million (10%) primarily as a result of a $1.9 million increase in environmental costs related to remediation, costs of compliance testing and monitoring and a $1.2 million increase in insurance costs due to the increase in controlled sites as a result of the acquisitions.

(a)	The decrease in the commission site count was primarily attributable to our real estate rationalization effort.

(b)	The increase in the company operated site count was primarily attributable to the 98 company operated sites from the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Gross profit increased $8.4 million (43%) and operating income increased $1.7 million. These results were impacted by:

Gross profit

•

Our motor fuel gross profit increased $4.3 million (122%) attributable to our company operated sites achieving higher fuel margins for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, as well as an increased number of company operated sites in the Retail Segment, as company operated sites typically have a higher retail fuel margin than commission agent sites. In addition, volume increased 29% stemming from the increase in company operated sites as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven as well as the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

•

Our merchandise gross profit and other revenues increased $3.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as a result of the increase in company operated sites driven by the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $6.7 million (35%) primarily due to a $4.4 million increase as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and higher employment costs at the company operated sites acquired in the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Gross profit increased $31.2 million (83%) and operating income increased $2.2 million. These results were driven by:

Gross profit

•

Our motor fuel gross profit increased $10.9 million (153%) attributable to our company operated sites achieving higher fuel margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, as well as an increased number of company operated sites in the Retail Segment, as company operated sites typically have a higher retail fuel margin than commission agent sites. In addition, volume increased 57% driven by the increase in company operated and commission sites as a result of the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets, the March 2020 CST Fuel Supply Exchange, the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven as well as the continuing recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

•

Our merchandise gross profit and other revenues increased $16.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, as a result of the increase in company operated sites driven by the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets and the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased $29.0 million (80%) primarily due to the increase in company operated and commission sites as a result of the April 2020 acquisition of retail and wholesale assets and the CST Fuel Supply Exchange and a $4.4 million increase as a result of the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income available to us before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion (which includes certain impairment charges). Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity-based employee and director compensation expense, gains or losses on dispositions and lease terminations, net and certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and certain other discrete non-cash items arising from purchase accounting. Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax benefit or expense. The Distribution Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by the weighted-average diluted common units and then dividing that result by the distributions paid per limited partner unit.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and the ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of items which do not result directly from the wholesale distribution of motor fuel, the leasing of real property, or the day to day operations of our retail site activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are also used to assess the ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to our unitholders.

We believe the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio provides useful information to investors in assessing the financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The following table presents reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for per unit amounts):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Distribution Coverage Ratio ^(f)	1.53x			1.50x			1.19x			1.30x

(a)	We recorded gains on the sale of sites in connection with our ongoing real estate rationalization effort of $0.4 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded gains on the sale of CAPL Properties in connection with the asset exchange with Circle K of $11.4 million and $19.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We also recorded gains on the sale of sites in connection with our ongoing real estate rationalization effort of $2.2 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $67.6 million gain on the sale of our 17.5% investment in CST Fuel Supply. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a loss on lease terminations, including the non-cash write-off of deferred rent income associated with these leases, of $10.9 million.

(b)	Relates to certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments associated with recently acquired businesses.

(c)

Under the Partnership Agreement, sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Examples of sustaining capital expenditures are those made to maintain existing contract volumes, including payments to renew existing distribution contracts, or to maintain our sites in conditions suitable to lease, such as parking lot or roof replacement/renovation, or to replace equipment required to operate the existing business.

(d)	Consistent with prior divestitures, the current income tax expense (benefit) excludes income tax incurred on the sale of sites.

(e)	On October 21, 2021, the Board approved a quarterly distribution of $0.5250 per unit attributable to the third quarter of 2021. The distribution is payable on November 10, 2021 to all unitholders of record on November 3, 2021.

(f)	The distribution coverage ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by the weighted-average diluted common units and then dividing that result by the distributions paid per limited partner unit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance our operations, fund acquisitions, service our debt and pay distributions to our unitholders. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated by operations, proceeds from sales of sites in connection with our real estate rationalization efforts, borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility, and if available to us on acceptable terms, issuances of equity and debt securities. We regularly evaluate alternate sources of capital to support our liquidity requirements.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, acquisitions, and partnership distributions, will depend on our future operating performance, which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, we will, from time to time, consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods.

We believe that we will have sufficient cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility, access to capital markets and alternate sources of funding to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies, anticipated capital expenditures and partnership distributions. However, we are subject to business and operational risks that could adversely affect our cash flow. A material decrease in our cash flows would likely produce an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity as well as our ability to issue additional equity and/or debt securities and/or maintain or increase distributions to unitholders.

See “Recent Developments—COVID-19 Pandemic” for a discussion of the impacts and potential impacts on our liquidity from the COVID-19 Pandemic as well as actions we have taken or could take to mitigate its impact.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes cash flow activity (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021			2020
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	76,267		$	86,503
Net cash used in investing activities		(283,200	)		(15,631	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		214,667			(71,324	)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily attributable to changes in working capital between the two periods. The biggest driver of this decrease relates to the initial build in accounts payable when acquiring company operated sites. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we acquired approximately 150 company operated sites, all in April 2020, and the initial build in accounts payable occurred quickly thereafter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we acquired 98 company operated sites from 7-Eleven but through a rolling close process, and therefore the initial build of accounts payable is still occurring for many of these sites. Additionally, acquisition costs increased $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. These negative drivers were partially offset by the incremental cash flow generated by the sites acquired from 7-Eleven.

As is typical in our industry, our current liabilities exceed our current assets as a result of the longer settlement of real estate and motor fuel taxes as well as operating lease obligations as compared to the shorter settlement of receivables for fuel and rent.

Investing Activities

We incurred capital expenditures of $32.4 million and $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was largely driven by EMV upgrades and rebranding of certain sites, including the sites being acquired from 7-Eleven. We received $11.0 million and $13.8 million in proceeds from sales of assets, largely driven by our real estate rationalization effort, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We paid $262.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 in connection with our acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven. We paid $28.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 in connection with our acquisition of retail and wholesale assets. Lastly, we received $23.0 million from Circle K primarily in connection with the CST Fuel Supply Exchange that closed in March 2020.

Financing Activities

We paid $59.8 million in distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We made net borrowings on our CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility of $123.5 million and $160.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, primarily to fund the acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven and to pay $8.5 million in acquisition costs and $7.1 million of deferred financing costs. We paid $58.0 million in distributions and made net repayments on our CAPL Credit Facility of $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Debt

As of September 30, 2021, our debt and finance lease obligations consisted of the following (in thousands):

CAPL Credit Facility	$	636,728
JKM Credit Facility		159,950
Finance lease obligations		17,736
Total debt and finance lease obligations		814,414
Current portion		9,923
Noncurrent portion		804,491
Deferred financing costs, net		8,865
Noncurrent portion, net of deferred financing costs	$	795,626

Taking the interest rate swap contracts into account, our effective interest rate on our CAPL Credit Facility at September 30, 2021 was 2.3% (our applicable margin was 2.0% as of September 30, 2021). Letters of credit outstanding under our CAPL Credit Facility at September 30, 2021 totaled $4.0 million.

Our effective interest rate on our JKM Credit Facility at September 30, 2021 was 2.6% (our applicable margin was 2.5% as of September 30, 2021). Letters of credit outstanding under our JKM Credit Facility at September 30, 2021 totaled $0.8 million.

See “Recent Developments—Acquisition of Assets from 7-Eleven” and Note 8 to the financial statements for information regarding a new credit agreement and an amendment of our existing credit agreement, both entered into in July 2021.

The amount of availability under our CAPL Credit Facility at November 4, 2021, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, was $84.6 million.

The amount of availability under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility at November 4, 2021 was $2.5 million and $14.2 million, respectively.

Capital Expenditures

We make investments to expand, upgrade and enhance existing assets. We categorize our capital requirements as either sustaining capital expenditures, growth capital expenditures or acquisition capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Acquisition and growth capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term. We have the ability to fund our capital expenditures by additional borrowings under our CAPL Credit Facility, JKM Credit Facility, or, if available to us on acceptable terms, accessing the capital markets and issuing additional equity, debt securities or other options, such as the sale of assets. Our ability to access the capital markets may have an impact on our ability to fund acquisitions. We may not be able to complete any offering of securities or other options on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The following table outlines our capital expenditures (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Sustaining capital	$	3,407	$	1,792
Growth		28,963		22,647
Acquisitions		261,993		28,244
Total capital expenditures and acquisitions	$	294,363	$	52,683

Growth capital expenditures increased primarily as a result of EMV upgrades and rebranding of certain sites, including the sites being acquired from 7-Eleven.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2021 are summarized below (in thousands):

	Payments Due by Period
	2021		2022		2023		2024		2025		Thereafter		Total
Long-term debt	$	—	$	9,597	$	9,597	$	646,325	$	9,597	$	121,562	$	796,678
Interest payments on debt		4,674		18,695		18,695		8,739		4,159		2,402		57,364
Finance lease obligations		804		3,282		3,381		3,481		3,583		4,926		19,457
Operating lease obligations		9,079		35,339		33,014		29,625		27,277		88,156		222,490
Total consolidated obligations	$	14,557	$	66,913	$	64,687	$	688,170	$	44,616	$	217,046	$	1,095,989

Long-Term Debt

See Note 8 to the financial statements for additional information on the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility.

Interest Payments on Debt

Such amounts include estimates of interest expense related to our CAPL Credit Facility and our JKM Credit Facility assuming a 2.3% interest rate and a 2.6% interest rate, respectively. The rate assumed on our CAPL Credit Facility takes into account the interest rate swap contracts.

Finance Lease Obligations

We have certain retail site properties under finance leases. Finance lease obligations in the table above include both principal and interest.

Operating Lease Obligations

The operating lease obligations include leases for land, office facilities and retail sites. Operating lease obligations reflected in the table above include all operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year and are not reduced by minimum rentals to be received by us under subleases. In addition, such amounts do not reflect contingent rentals that may be incurred in addition to minimum rentals.

Our principal executive offices are in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in an office space leased from a related party. Future lease payments on this office lease are included within operating lease obligations. See Note 10 to the financial statements for additional information.

Other Liabilities

We have excluded asset retirement obligations and other liabilities for which the timing of payment or the amount is not determinable.

Under the terms of various supply agreements, the Partnership is obligated to minimum volume purchases measured in gallons of motor fuel. The aggregate dollar amount of the future minimum volume purchase requirements is dependent on the future weighted average wholesale cost per gallon charged under the applicable supply agreements. The amounts and timing of the related payment obligations cannot reasonably be estimated reliably. As a result, payment of these amounts has been excluded from the table above.

Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Concentration of Customers

Approximately 12% of our rent income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was from one multi-site operator.

Outlook

As noted previously, the prices paid to our motor fuel suppliers for wholesale motor fuel (which affects our cost of sales) are highly correlated to the price of crude oil. The crude oil commodity markets are highly volatile, and the market prices of crude oil, and, correspondingly, the market prices of wholesale motor fuel, experience significant and rapid fluctuations, which affect our motor fuel gross profit. See “Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability—The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit” for additional information.

Our results for 2021 relative to 2020 are anticipated to be impacted by the following:

•

Transactions effected pursuant to the Asset Exchange Agreement entered into with Circle K are anticipated to increase motor fuel volume and motor fuel gross profit.

•

The CST Fuel Supply Exchange is anticipated to increase motor fuel volume and motor fuel gross profit.

•

The acquisition of retail and wholesale contracts from the Topper Group and certain other parties is anticipated to increase gross profit both within the Wholesale and Retail segments.

•

Our volume starting in mid-March 2020 was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Although fuel volumes largely recovered during the second half of 2020 and continue to recover in 2021, we cannot predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our results. See “Recent Developments—COVID-19 Pandemic” for additional information.

•

The acquisition of assets from 7-Eleven is anticipated to increase gross profit both within the Wholesale and Retail segments.

We will continue to evaluate acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. Additionally, we will pursue acquisition targets that fit into our strategy. Whether we will be able to execute acquisitions will depend on market conditions, availability of suitable acquisition targets at attractive terms, acquisition related compliance with customary regulatory requirements, and our ability to finance such acquisitions on favorable terms and in compliance with our debt covenant restrictions.

New Accounting Policies

There is no new accounting guidance effective or pending adoption that has had or is anticipated to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies Involving Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies described in our Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

No significant changes to our market risk have occurred since December 31, 2020. For a discussion of market risks affecting us, refer to Part II, Item 7A—"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in our Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We hereby incorporate by reference into this Item our disclosures made in Part I, Item 1 of this report included in Note 11 of the financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K, as updated and supplemented below, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Partnership. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

A shortage of qualified labor could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

In our current operating environment, due in part to COVID-19 and general macroeconomic factors, we are experiencing labor shortages in certain geographies. Outside suppliers that we rely on have also experienced shortages of qualified labor. The future success of our operations depends on our ability, and the ability of third parties on which we rely, to identify, recruit, develop and retain qualified and talented individuals in order to supply and deliver our products. A prolonged shortage of qualified labor could decrease our ability to effectively operate our retail locations, which would negatively impact our business and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. A shortage would also likely result in increased costs from higher overtime, the need to hire temporary help to meet demand, higher wage rates to attract and retain employees, and higher costs to purchase raw materials or services from such third parties, all of which would negatively impact our results of operations.

1.5.Amendment to Article IX. Article IX of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 9.13 as follows:

“9.13Erroneous Payments.

(a)If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party (any such Lender, L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 9.13(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received),

NAI-1519422547v5

together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 9.13(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.13(a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case:

(i)(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) in the case of immediately preceding clause (z), an error has been made, in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.13(b).

(c)Each Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under Section 9.13(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.13(a), from any Lender or L/C Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or L/C Issuer at any time, (i) such Lender or L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not

NAI-1519422547v5

Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Partnership) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or L/C Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning L/C Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning L/C Issuer and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or L/C Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or L/C Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or L/C Issuer and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of

NAI-1519422547v5

the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof).”

ARTICLE I
CERTAIN DEFINITIONS; RULES OF CONSTRUCTION

Section 1.01Certain Definitions

. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings, respectively, unless the context hereof clearly requires otherwise:

“Accepted Real Property Parcels” means collectively those Real Property Parcels which satisfy the following criteria:

(a)a Loan Party owns either fee simple title to such Real Property Parcel or leasehold title to such Real Property Parcel pursuant to a ground lease, having a remaining term (together with options exercisable solely at the option of a Loan Party) of not less than five (5) years, which lease (or a memorandum thereof) has been recorded among the land records of the appropriate jurisdiction;

(b)the applicable Loan Party has granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a first priority mortgage lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on such Loan Party’s interest in such Real Property Parcel pursuant to a Mortgage in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(c)the Administrative Agent has received a Title Insurance Policy with respect to such Real Property Parcel and, if an exception to the Title Insurance Policy with respect to such Real Property Parcel would arise without an ALTA survey, an ALTA survey in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

(d)in the event a Loan Party owns leasehold title to such Real Property Parcel, the Administrative Agent has received from the fee simple owner of such property (and, in the event a Loan Party has leasehold title through a sublease, also from the sublessor of such property) an estoppel or other agreement regarding the ground lease (or sublease, as the case may be) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent;

106

(e)in the event a Loan Party has leasehold title to such Real Property Parcel and the fee simple interest in such Real Property Parcel is subject to a mortgage lien which is not subordinate to the applicable Loan Party’s leasehold title, the Administrative Agent has received evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent that the leasehold title of such Loan Party (and its successors and assigns) has the benefit of a non-disturbance agreement from the holder of such mortgage lien to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and

(f)the Administrative Agent has received (x) evidence of flood insurance in an amount not less than the amount required by Flood Laws with respect to each such Real Property Parcel constituting a Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program or (y) a recently-issued flood hazard determination certificate evidencing that such Real Property Parcel is not a Flood Hazard Property.

“Adjusted Base Rate” means that rate of interest equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

“Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing” means each amount of the unpaid principal balance of a Loan which accrues interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.

“Adjusted LIBOR Rate” means for any LIBOR Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum that is equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

“Administrative Agent” means M&T Bank, in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement, and its successors and assigns in such capacity as authorized by the terms of this Agreement.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that (i) directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified or (ii) directly or indirectly owns, or possesses power to vote, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such Person.

“Agent Parties” has the meaning provided in Section 10.10.4.

“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement, as it may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, together with all schedules and exhibits hereto.

“Applicable Margin” means the following percentages corresponding to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio in effect as of the most recent Calculation Date:

106


		applicaBLE MARGIN FOR ADJUSTED BASE RATE BORROWINGS		APPLICABLE MARGIN FOR LIBOR BORROWINGS

2	≤ 5.00, but ˃ 4.50	1.25%	1.25%	2.25%	2.25%	0.375%	2.25%
3	≤ 4.50, but ˃ 4.00	1.00%	1.00%	2.00%	2.00%	0.30%	2.00%

5	≤ 3.25	0.50%	0.50%	1.50%	1.50%	0.25%	1.50%

The initial Applicable Margin shall be based on Tier Level 1. Beginning with the first Calculation Date after the delivery of the quarterly financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2021 pursuant to Section 5.09.3 hereof, and on each Calculation Date thereafter, the Applicable Margin shall be determined and adjusted by the then current Consolidated Leverage Ratio as determined in accordance with the most recent Compliance Certificate provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 5.09.7 hereof.

Except as set forth above, each Applicable Margin shall be effective from a Calculation Date until the next Calculation Date.

“Approved Fund” means a Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the accounts of other Loan Parties inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that its business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such other Loan Parties.

2.03.11Increased Costs. To the extent that after the Closing Date any Change In Law imposes any condition or requirement upon the Issuing Bank regarding the Letters of Credit and if the result of such condition or requirement is to directly or indirectly increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the effective yield to the Issuing Bank of the amount receivable in respect thereof, then the Issuing Bank may any time after the additional cost is incurred or the yield of the amount receivable is reduced, notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank such amount or amounts as will be necessary to compensate the Issuing Bank for such additional cost or reduced receipt. A certificate of the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Issuing Bank as specified in this Section 2.03.11 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower promises to pay the Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt

106

thereof. Failure or delay on the part of the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.03.11 shall not constitute a waiver of the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.03.11 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that the Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Notwithstanding the above, the Issuing Bank will not be entitled to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.03.11 at any time if it is not the general practice and policy of the Issuing Bank to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances at such time.

Section 2.04Term Loans

.During the Commitment Period, subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to make term loans (each such term loan, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time until the Term Loan Commitment Expiration Date; provided, however, that no Term Loans shall be made, with regard to any Lender, in an amount in excess of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment at such time. Each Term Loan extended by a Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to the Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans requested on such occasion. The Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of Term Loans funded by such Lender. The Term Loans may consist of Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings or LIBOR Borrowings, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request in accordance with the terms hereof. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of any Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

2.04.1Term Loan Notes

. The obligations of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans to each of the Lenders is evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by any Lender holding any Term Loans, a Term Loan Note to be issued to such Lender in the stated principal amount of such Lender’s respective Term Loan Commitment.

2.04.2Procedure For Term Loan Borrowings

. The Borrower may borrow proceeds of the Term Loans until the Term Loan Commitment Expiration Date; provided that the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, written, fully completed notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (a “Term Loan Request”) executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (which Term Loan Request must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time) five (5) Business Days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion) prior to the requested Borrowing Date (or in the case of any Term Loan Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date). Each Term Loan Request shall specify: (i) the aggregate amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing, or a combination thereof, (iv) with respect to any Term Loan made on the Closing Date, whether any portion the borrowing is to be used for Working Capital Purposes, (v) the Identified Speedway Sites to be purchased therewith (or with respect to which a Purchase Price Distribution is to be made), and (v) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly a LIBOR Borrowing, the information required to be specified in the election described in Section 2.05.2(a) of this Agreement. The Term Loan Requests may be delivered to the Administrative Agent via facsimile or by other electronic transmission, it being agreed that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of the Person making any such request without receipt of any other confirmation. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each notice and the contents thereof. Each Lender shall make the amount of its pro rata share (calculated in accordance with its respective Term Loan Commitment Percentage) of each requested borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the offices of the Administrative Agent specified in this Agreement prior to 1:00 pm (Eastern Time) on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will be made available thereafter by the Administrative Agent crediting the Commercial Account (or such other account

106

as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.04.3Payment

. The aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Term Loans shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders in consecutive quarterly installments equal to six percent (6.0%) per annum on each Principal Payment Date until the Term Loan Maturity Date (it is acknowledged that such amount is subject to increase in order to include amortization of Term Loans advanced pursuant to Section 2.17). All remaining unpaid balances of the Term Loans, including all unpaid principal, unpaid and accrued interest and fees, shall be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders on the unpaid principal balances of the Term Loans from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date until the date of the payment in full of the Term Loans at the rates per annum, and on the dates set forth in Section 2.05 of this Agreement.

2.04.4Mandatory Prepayments

. The Borrower shall have the obligation to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders the following (collectively, “Mandatory Prepayments”):

(a)Extraordinary Receipts

. The Borrower promises to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Extraordinary Receipts (other than from the sale of Real Property Parcels or a Disposition pursuant to Section 6.05(d)) within three (3) Business Days after the receipt thereof by any Loan Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall not be required with respect to any Extraordinary Receipt of the type described in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition thereof to the extent that a Loan Party reinvests an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipt in productive assets (other than Inventory (except to the extent Inventory was subject to an applicable Casualty Event)) of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, within one twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable Disposition or Casualty Event, or enters into a binding commitment thereof within said twelve (12) month period and subsequently makes such reinvestment within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of such twelve (12) month period; provided that the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of such Loan Party’s intent to reinvest and of the completion of such reinvestment at the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs, respectively. The provisions of this Section 2.04.4(a) shall not be deemed a waiver of or constitute the implied consent of the Credit Parties to any transactions which are either prohibited by the terms of the Credit Documents or which by the terms of any of the Credit Documents require the prior consent of any or all of the Credit Parties.

(b)Sale of Certain Property

. Upon the sale of any of the Real Property Parcels of a Loan Party (other than to another Loan Party (other than Holdings)), the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders within three (3) Business Days after the sale, an amount equal to the greater of (x) 75% of the Appraised Value for such Real Property Parcel and (y) the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of such Real Property Parcel (such amount the “Real Property Prepayment”); provided, however (i) if the Real Property Parcel does not have an Appraised Value, the Borrower shall instead pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders within three (3) Business Days after the sale, one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of such Real Property Parcel, and (ii) in the event 75% of the Appraised Value for such Real Property Parcel is more than the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of such Real Property Parcel (such greater amount, the “Appraisal Excess”), the Borrower may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, not to pay 75% of the Appraised Value but instead may pay to the Administrative Agent,

106

for the benefit of the Lenders, one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds as long as the Loan Parties shall invest an amount equal to the Appraisal Excess in capital expenditures within three hundred sixty-five (365) days of such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Appraisal Excess exists, a portion of the Real Property Prepayment, in an aggregate amount not to exceed in the aggregate for all such sales of Real Property the greater of (x) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and (y) if any, the aggregate amount by which the Net Cash Proceeds from all such sales of Real Property Parcels is more than 75% of the Appraised Value for such Real Property Parcels (such greater amount, the “Real Property Investment Amount”), shall not be required to be paid to the extent such Real Property Investment Amount is used to fund capital expenditures within twelve (12) months after the applicable Net Cash Proceeds were received, or enters into a binding commitment thereof within said twelve (12) month period and subsequently makes such reinvestment within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of such twelve (12) month period; provided that the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of such Loan Party’s intent to reinvest and of the completion of such reinvestment at the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs, respectively. The provisions of this Section 2.04.4(b) shall not be deemed a waiver of or constitute the implied consent of the Lenders to any transactions which are either prohibited by the terms of the Credit Documents or which by the terms of any of the Credit Documents require the prior consent of the Lenders.

(c)Sale of Real Property Guarantor

. Upon the sale of more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock in a Real Property Guarantor, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders within three (3) Business Days after the sale, an amount equal to the amount the Borrower would be required to pay as a mandatory prepayment under clause (b) hereto if the Real Property Parcels owned by such Real Property Guarantor were sold (including any reinvestment rights of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties included in clause (b) above). The provisions of this Section 2.04.4(c) shall not be deemed a waiver of or constitute the implied consent of the Lenders to any transactions which are prohibited by the terms of the Credit Documents or which by the terms of any of the Credit Documents require the prior consent of the Lenders. Upon the payment of any mandatory prepayment required pursuant to this Section 2.04.4(c) (to the extent so required by Section 2.04.(c)), the Real Property Guarantor whose Capital Stock was sold giving rise to such mandatory prepayment shall be released from the Guaranty and the lien of the Administrative Agent on the Real Property Parcels owned by such Real Property Guarantor shall be released at the expense of the Borrower.

(d)Application of Mandatory Prepayments

. The Mandatory Prepayments shall be applied first ratably to the unpaid balances of the Term Loans and any additional Term Loans advanced pursuant to Section 2.17, secondly to the unpaid balances of the Revolving Credit Loans, and thirdly to any other unpaid Obligations. Mandatory Prepayments made upon the Term Loans shall be applied ratably to the remaining installments thereof (including the final payment on the Term Loan Maturity Date).

2.04.5Voluntary Prepayments

. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay ratably the Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Borrowings, and (ii) on the date of prepayment of Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings; and (b) any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans shall be in a principal amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); provided, further that with respect to Revolving Credit Loans prior written notice is not required and for which no minimum shall apply. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and, if LIBOR Borrowings are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such LIBOR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice,

106

and of the amount of such Term Loan Commitment Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that notices of prepayment shall be irrevocable (unless such notice expressly conditions such prepayment upon consummation of a transaction which is contemplated to result in prepayment of the Loans, in which event such notice may be revocable or conditioned upon such consummation by prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent). Any prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.05.2(b)(iii). Each such prepayment shall be applied as directed by the Borrower (and in the absence of such direction, will be applied to the Term Loans and any additional Term Loans advanced pursuant to Section 2.17, in direct order of scheduled maturities, in accordance with the Term Loan Commitment Percentages of the Lenders).

2.04.6Term Loan Unused Fees

. For each Fiscal Quarter until the termination of the Term Loan Commitments, the Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Lenders, a per annum fee (the “Term Loan Unused Fee”) calculated by multiplying the outstanding principal amount of Term Loan Commitments by the Term Loan Unused Fee Rate then in effect. The Term Loan Unused Fee shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter with the first of such payments to be scheduled for payment on January 3, 2022.

2.04.7Permitted Purposes Of Term Loans

. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used by the Borrower solely: (a) to finance the acquisition of the Identified Speedway Sites in an amount not to exceed seventy and three-tenths percent (70.3%) of the Purchase Price of such Identified Speedway Sites (and the closing costs, fees and expenses associated therewith); (b) to make Purchase Price Distributions permitted hereunder; and (c) on the Closing Date and in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount set forth in the Term Loan Request approved by the Administrative Agent for the Term Loans to be borrowed on the Closing Date, for Working Capital Purposes and other general corporate purposes.

Section 2.05Interest Terms Applicable To The Loans

. Interest shall accrue upon the unpaid principal balances of the Loans until the Loans have been repaid in full at the rate or rates described below in this Section 2.05. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders all accrued interest in arrears on the applicable Interest Payment Dates.

2.05.1Adjusted Base Rate

. Absent a timely election by the Borrower of a LIBOR Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05.2 of this Agreement, the unpaid balances of the Loans, including any balances of any LIBOR Borrowings for which the applicable Interest Period has expired (unless subject to an Automatic Continuation Election), shall be deemed automatically to bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate. Changes in the Adjusted Base Rate shall be made when and as changes in the Base Rate occur. Each election by the Borrower of an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing shall be in the Minimum Borrowing Amount, or any multiple thereof.

2.05.2LIBOR Borrowing Option

. Subject to the terms of this Section, interest may accrue at the election of the Borrower for Interest Periods selected by the Borrower, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate on portions of the unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans (but not the Swingline Loans). Any election for a LIBOR Borrowing shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)Notice Of Election

. An Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall deliver by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on that Business Day which occurs three (3) Business Days prior to the Business Day on which the Borrower desires that an Interest Period commence, a written fully completed and executed Notice of Election substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (which Notice of Election may be transmitted electronically or by facsimile) specifying: (i) the commencement date of and length of the relevant Interest Period, (ii) if such election is not an Automatic Continuation Election, (iii) a statement as to whether the LIBOR Borrowing is to be

106

applicable to the Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Loans, and (iv) the Dollar amount of that portion of the total aggregate principal amount of the Loans identified by the Borrower, which are to bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, which amount: (A) shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount; and (B) if elected with respect to the Term Loans shall not be in a principal amount greater than that sum obtained by deducting the aggregate amount of principal payments upon the Term Loans which are scheduled for payment on Principal Payment Dates occurring prior to the end of the subject Interest Period from the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Term Loans. Unless the Borrower elects to the contrary, all LIBOR Borrowings shall be deemed to be subject to an Automatic Continuation Election and such election shall automatically and irrevocably continue for consecutive Interest Periods until such election is terminated by either: (i) an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivering to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on that Business Day which occurs three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then applicable Interest Period a written election terminating the Automatic Continuation Election; or (ii) a repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of that LIBOR Borrowing for any reason (including, but not limited to, principal payments upon the Loan on the Principal Payment Dates), each of which repayments or prepayments shall be subject to the payment of breakage costs pursuant to Section 2.05.2(b)(iii) hereof.

(b)Effect Of Election

. Interest shall accrue from and including the first day of each Interest Period selected by the Borrower to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate determined as applicable to such Interest Period upon the amount of the unpaid principal balances of the Loans identified by the Borrower in the Borrower’s written election. For LIBOR Borrowings for which an Automatic Continuation Election is in effect, a new Interest Period shall automatically commence immediately after the expiration of the preceding Interest Period and the rate of interest shall be adjusted on the first day of the new Interest Period to be equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to such new Interest Period.

(i)Interest Periods

. There shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods outstanding at any one time. No Interest Period may expire after the Maturity Date.

(ii)Availability

. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing: (A) the Administrative Agent is advised that the Required Lenders have determined that a Change In Law or a change in market conditions has made it impractical for the Lenders to offer pricing based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate; or (B) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or (C) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining the proposed LIBOR Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any request to convert any borrowing to, or continue any borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) any requested LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.

(iii)Breakage Costs

. The Borrower promises to compensate the Lenders from time to time, upon demand from any Lender through the Administrative Agent, for all losses, expenses, lost earnings, costs and liabilities (including all interest paid to lenders of funds borrowed by the Lenders to carry LIBOR Borrowings) which any of the Lenders sustains if: (A) any repayment or prepayment of any LIBOR Borrowings (including any payment resulting from the acceleration of the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or from an assignment required by Section 2.10 of this Agreement) or any conversion of a LIBOR Borrowing

106

for any reason occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period; or (B) any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Borrowing or convert an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing to a LIBOR Borrowing on the date for such borrowing or conversion specified in the relevant notice of election given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(iv)Termination Of Right To Elect

LIBOR Borrowings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Required Lenders during any continuing Default or Event of Default may suspend the right of the Borrower to elect any new LIBOR Borrowing or to convert any Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing into a LIBOR Borrowing or to permit any LIBOR Borrowing to be renewed as a LIBOR Borrowing, in which case all LIBOR Borrowings shall be converted (on the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or continued, as the case may be, as Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings.

(v)Calculation Of Interest

. Interest shall be calculated upon Adjusted Base Borrowings on the basis of a 365 or 366 days per year factor applied to the actual days on which there exists an unpaid balance of the Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings. Interest shall be calculated upon LIBOR Borrowing on the basis of a 360 day per year factor applied to the actual days on which there exists an unpaid balance of the LIBOR Borrowing.

(vi)Default Interest

. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise (or if an Event of Default under Section 7.07 or Section 7.08 has occurred and is continuing), such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Default Rate.

2.05.3Maximum Rate Of Interest

. Any provision contained in the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lenders shall not be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall the Borrower be obligated to pay, interest, fees, or charges thereunder in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Law, and if any provision of this Agreement, any Notes or any of the other Credit Documents is construed or held by any court of law or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to permit or require the charging, collection or payment of any amount of interest in excess of that permitted by such Laws, the provisions of this Section shall control and shall override any contrary or inconsistent provision. The intention of the parties is to at all times conform strictly with all applicable usury requirements and other Laws limiting the maximum rates of interest which may be lawfully charged upon the Loans. The interest to be paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury or other Laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and any sums of money paid in excess of the interest rate allowed by applicable Law shall be applied in reduction of the principal amount owing pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.06Pro Rata Treatment And Payments

2.06.1Distribution Of Payments To Lenders

. Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary by the terms of this Agreement, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s offices in Buffalo, New York in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender by wire transfer such Lender’s pro rata share of each of such payments in like funds as received. The Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payments on the applicable date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or to the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not

106

in fact made such payments, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry customs and rules on interbank compensation.

2.06.2Funding Of Loans

. The Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender will fund timely its pro rata portion of each borrowing requested by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry customs and rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (b) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such share included in the subject borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

2.06.3Ratable Sharing

. Each borrowing by the Borrower shall be made ratably from the Lenders in accordance with their applicable respective Commitment Percentages. Any reduction in the Revolving Credit Dollar Cap shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal and interest on the Loans shall be shared pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective balances of the Loans which are being paid.

2.06.4Setoffs, Counterclaims

, Other Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value in Dollars) participations in the Loans and participations in the L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(a)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(b)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the

106

assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any other Loan Party (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.07Application Of Payments

. Except as expressly required to the contrary by the terms of this Agreement, all payments received upon the Loans may be applied first to Credit Party Expenses (to the extent then due and owing), then to accrued interest and the unpaid principal balances of the Loans, or in such other order as elected by the Required Lenders.

Section 2.08Increased Costs

2.08.1Increased Costs Generally

. If any Change In Law shall:

(a)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank;

(b)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c)impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any LIBOR Borrowing made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient of making, converting to or continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon the written request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

2.08.2Capital Requirements

. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company

106

with respect to capital adequacy), then upon the written request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

2.08.3Certificate for Reimbursement

. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 2.08 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower promises to pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

2.08.4Delay in Requests

. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Notwithstanding the above, a Lender or the Issuing Bank will not be entitled to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08 at any time if it is not the general practice and policy of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances at such time.

Section 2.09Taxes

2.09.1Defined Terms

. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

2.09.2Payments Free of Taxes

. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

2.09.3Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower

. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

2.09.4Indemnification

. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of

106

such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.09.5Indemnification by the Lenders

. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (b) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.03 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (c) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.09.5.

2.09.6Evidence of Payments

. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

2.09.7Status of Lenders

(a)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be

106

requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

(iii)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv)if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations

106

under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

2.09.8Treatment of Certain Refunds

. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.09 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.09), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.09.8 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.09.8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.09.8 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amount with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(a)Survival

. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 2.10 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders

2.10.1Designation of a Different Lending Office

. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.08, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.09, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) 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 Section 2.08 or 2.09, 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 and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.10.2Replacement of Lenders

. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.08, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.09 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.10.1, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such

106

Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.02), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.08 or Section 2.09) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the administrative fee (if any) specified in Section 10.02;

(b)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.05.2(b)(iii)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.08 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.09, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e)in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 10.02 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10.2 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment and Assumption evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 2.10.2, the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Borrower, the replacement Lender and the Administrative Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.10.2 and Section 10.2.

Section 2.11Cash Collateral

2.11.1Certain Credit Support Events

. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, promptly Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver Cash Collateral to the Administrative Agent in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.12.1(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

2.11.2Grant of Security Interest

. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in a blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts maintained at M&T Bank. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby each grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the Obligations to be applied in accordance with Sections 2.11.3 and 2.11.4. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person

106

other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure, the Borrower or the applicable Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

2.11.3Application

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any provisions of this Agreement shall be held and first applied to the satisfaction of the specific Obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be otherwise provided for herein.

2.11.4Release

. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or with respect to any L/C Obligation remaining outstanding after the L/C Expiration Date shall be released promptly following (a) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or L/C Obligation giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its Eligible Assignee following compliance with Section 10.02)) or (b) the Administrative Agent’s and the Issuing Bank’s and Swingline Lender’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in Section 2.11.3 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.05), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other Obligations.

Section 2.12Defaulting Lenders

2.12.1Defaulting Lender Adjustments

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws:

(a)Waivers and Amendments

. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(b)Defaulting Lender Waterfall

. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.11; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.11; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or

106

Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, as applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable credit facility without giving effect to Section 2.12.1.(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)Certain Fees

(i)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Revolving Credit Unused Fee or Term Loan Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(ii)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the limited extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.11.

(iii)With respect to any Revolving Credit Unused Fee, Term Loan Unused Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fees.

(d)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure

. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans

. If the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower

106

shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available hereunder or under Law, (i) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (ii) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11.

2.12.2Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable credit facility (without giving effect to Section 2.12.1(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.12.3New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit

. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (a) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (b) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.13Fees

. The Borrower shall pay to M&T Bank for M&T Bank’s own account such fees as are required by the terms of the Fee Letter.

Section 2.14Payments

. All payments received by the Credit Parties which are to be applied to reduce the Obligations shall be provisional and shall not be considered final unless and until such payment is not subject to avoidance under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, including Sections 547 and 550, or any other Debtor Relief Law. If any payment is avoided or set aside under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 547 and 550 thereof, or any other Debtor Relief Law, the payment shall be considered not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement and the Credit Parties shall adjust their respective records to reflect the fact that the avoided payment was not made and has not been credited against the Obligations.

Section 2.15Advancements

. If the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to perform any of its respective agreements or covenants contained in the Credit Documents or if the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Credit Parties in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower, make advances to perform the same on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Credit Parties in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations, and all sums so advanced shall immediately upon such advance become secured by the Liens granted in the Credit Documents for the Obligations, and shall become part of the Obligations. The Borrower promises to repay all sums so advanced on the Borrower’s behalf, plus all expenses or costs incurred by the Administrative Agent, on account of the Lenders, to the extent required to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 10.08 hereof. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to prevent the institution of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The authorization contained in this Section is not intended to impose any duty or obligation on the

106

Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to perform any action or make any advancement on behalf of the Borrower and is intended to be for the sole benefit and protection of the Credit Parties.

Section 2.16Swap Obligations; Keepwell

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, Swap Obligations of any Loan Party that is not an Eligible Contract Participant shall not include any Excluded Swap Liabilities; provided however, to the extent that a Loan Party is an Eligible Contract Participant, such Loan Party (in addition to its other Obligations and agreements hereunder), hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party in respect of the Swap Obligations. The obligations of each Loan Party, to the extent that it is an Eligible Contract Participant, under this Section 2.17 shall remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each Loan Party, to the extent that such Loan Party is an Eligible Contract Participant, intends that this Section 2.17 constitute, and this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.

Section 2.17Increase in Commitments

2.17.1Request for Increase

. The Borrower may from time to time, on or prior to the date that is nine (9) months from the Closing Date, request an increase in the aggregate amount of Term Loan Commitments by an aggregate amount for all such requests not exceeding the lesser of (x) Four Million ($4,000,000) and (y) 70.3% of the sum of (1) the aggregate Appraised Value of all Identified Speedway Sites designated after the Closing Date minus (2) the Appraised value of all Identified Speedway Sites that have not been purchased and have had such designation removed by the Borrower pursuant to the definition of “Identified Speedway Sites”; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of two (2) such requests, (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Default or Event of Default shall exist immediately after giving effect to an such increase, (iv) the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower evidencing that, immediately after giving effect to such increase and the use of proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis and giving pro forma effect to the security interest of the Administrative Agent to be obtained in Identified Speedway Sites acquired with the proceeds of such increase, the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with all Financial Covenants and the LTV Ratio does not exceed 75%, and (v) the increase in the Term Loan Commitments shall be on the same terms applicable to the existing Term Loan Commitments (including maturity date). At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

2.17.2Lender Elections to Increase

. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitments (which shall be in its sole discretion) and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its respective Commitment Percentage of any such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

2.17.3Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders

. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

106

2.17.4Effective Date and Allocations

. If the aggregate amount of any Term Loan Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date of the increase (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase, in each case in consultation with the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders (the “Resignation Effective Date”)), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. Each such appointment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01, 7.07 or 7.08.

(a)Without limiting immediately preceding Section 9.13.3(A), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case, then (1) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (2) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment.

(b)Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Credit Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Credit Party under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Credit Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under Section 9.13.3(A) above or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(c)The Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated) to all the rights of such Lender, Issuing Bank, or other Credit Party under the Credit Documents with respect to such amount, (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment, and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as a payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank, other Credit Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received; provided, however, the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other

106

Credit Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment shall be credited as a payment or satisfaction of the Obligations and the Obligations or part thereof that were so credited shall not be reinstated.

(d)(To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(e)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.13.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, Issuing Bank, or other Credit Party, the termination of any Commitment or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each provider of such Bank Products or Swap Provider that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Bank Products or Swap Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.02.2, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (a) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (b) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata

amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Insolvency Plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Insolvency Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Insolvency Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing.

10.02.7Cashless Settlements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 2.09.5. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.05.2(b)(iii), 2.08 and 2.09 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.09.7 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.09.7 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.02 of this Agreement; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.02 of this Agreement; and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.08 or 2.09, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.10.2 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.07 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.06 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a limited non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s

106

interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

106

Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank or any the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.

10.08.4Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc

. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, each of the parties hereto agree that none of the Indemnitees, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

Section 10.09Course of Conduct

. No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Credit Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No waiver or indulgence by any of the Credit Parties shall constitute a future waiver of performance or exact performance by any of the Loan Parties. No amendment or waiver shall be effective unless in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the advance of proceeds of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or an Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time of such advance or issuance.

(b)“Benchmark” means, initially, LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (a) of this Section.

(c)“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that is applicable (based on the applicability restrictions below) and can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(i)the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(ii)the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(iii)the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current

106

Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

Notwithstanding the above, for any application of clause (1), (2) or (3) above, (i) to the extent the Floor (if any) is equal to (or less than) zero percent (0.00%), if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark (used to determine the Benchmark Replacement) would be less than the Floor, such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor, and (ii) to the extent the Floor (if any) is greater than zero percent (0.00%), if the Benchmark Replacement would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor. To the extent administratively and operationally feasible, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any Benchmark Replacement shall meet the standards set forth in Proposed Section 1.1001-6 of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any successor or final version of such regulation) so as not to be treated as a “modification” (and therefore an exchange) of this Agreement for purposes of Section 1.1001-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations, it being understood that for these purposes, the substantially equivalent fair market value requirement of Proposed Section 1.1001-6(b)(2) of the United States Treasury Regulations shall be deemed satisfied, and it being further understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action under this provision that would cause it any commercially unreasonable burden as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent.

(d)“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(i)for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:

(A)the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;

(B)the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(ii) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;

106

(e)“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including, without limitation, changes to the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate in its reasonable discretion to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion is necessary in connection with the administration of the loan evidenced hereby).

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

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

(ii)in the case of clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or

(iii)in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (ET) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

106

Available Tenors of such Benchmark are or will no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and indicating that representativeness will not be restored.

(h)“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in accordance with this Section and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in accordance with this Section.

(i)“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to any Available Tenor means, as applicable, either a tenor (including overnight) or an interest payment period having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as such Available Tenor.

(j)“Daily Simple SOFR” means, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining “Daily Simple SOFR” for business loans; provided, that if the Administrative Agent decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion.

(k)“Early Opt-in Effective Date” means, with respect to any Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii)the joint election by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to trigger a fallback from LIBOR and the provision by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Lenders.

(m)“Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in the Credit Documents initially (as of the execution of such Credit Documents, the modification, amendment or renewal of the Credit Documents or otherwise) with respect to LIBOR. As of the Closing Date the Floor in this Agreement is zero percent (0.00%).

The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Credit Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No waiver or indulgence by any of the Credit Parties shall constitute a future waiver of performance or exact performance by any of the Loan Parties. No amendment or waiver shall be effective unless in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the advance of proceeds of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or an Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time of such advance or issuance.

Section 10.29 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported OFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights would be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b)

As used in this Section 10.26.9, the following terms have the

following meanings:

a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
