To be effective, the Notice of Borrowing must be received thirty-five (35) calendar days before the requested Borrowing Date, provided that upon the request of Borrower, the Lender shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the requested Loan earlier than such date (a) if the Notice of Borrowing is received prior to 11:00 a.m. three Business Days before the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of a requested Loan that is initially to be a SOFR Loan, or (b) if the Notice of Borrowing is received prior to 12:00 p .m. on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of a requested Loan that is initially to be a Base Rate Loan. Lender shall, unless it determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, make the amount of the requested Loan available to Borrower in immediately available funds before 3:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing Date by crediting the Cash Account. Lender shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with all Notices of Borrowing executed, or reasonably believed by Xxxxxx to have been executed, by an Authorized Person or in failing to act in the absence thereof, and shall be fully protected and absolved from any liability arising therefrom. For the avoidance of doubt, each Base Rate Loan shall remain outstanding until the earlier to occur of (x) repayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or (y) conversion pursuant to Section 2.03.

2.03 Conversion and Continuation. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall automatically, without

delivery of any Notice of Conversion (and without regard to the minimum amount set forth in Section 2.02 above), be converted into a SOFR Loan on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Base Rate Loan was made (or, if such Base Rate Loan was made after the third Business Day preceding the end of calendar month in which such Base Rate Loan was made, the last Business Day of the immediately succeeding calendar month) unless Borrower shall have given notice of its intention to prepay such Base Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.05(b), provided that no Base Rate Loan may be converted to a SOFR Loan when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) Each SOFR Loan shall be continued as such for consecutive additional Interest Periods unless any Person reasonably believed by Lender to be an Authorized Person shall have given a timely Notice of Conversion with respect thereto pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.03 or unless any Person reasonably believed by Xxxxxx to be an Authorized Person shall have given written notice of its intention to prepay such SOFR Loan in accordance with Section 2.05(b); provided that (i) no SOFR Loan may be continued as such when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding clause (i), such SOFR Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then expiring Interest Period.

(c) Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Loans from one Type to the other Type, by delivering to Lender a Notice of Conversion (which Notice to be effective on the requested conversion date (a “Conversion Date”) must be received by Lender by the time prescribed in Section 2.02 for receipt of a Notice of Borrowing for a Loan of the Type being converted to); provided that (i) any such conversion of SOFR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, and (ii) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a SOFR Loan when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Xxxxxx shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with all Notices of Conversion executed, or reasonably believed by Xxxxxx to have been executed, by an Authorized Person or in failing to act in the absence thereof, and shall be fully protected and absolved from any liability arising therefrom.

2.04 Evidence of Indebtedness. Lender shall open and maintain on its books accounts and records evidencing the Loans made to Borrower. Lender shall record therein the amount of the Loans, the interest rate applicable thereto, each payment of principal of or interest on the Loans, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder and all other amounts paid by Borrower under this Agreement. Such accounts and records maintained by Xxxxxx will constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, including the date Lender made each Loan to Borrower, the amount of such Loan, interest accrued on such Loan and the amounts Borrower has paid from time to time on account of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees, expenses and other amounts payable by Xxxxxxxx hereunder.

2.05 Prepayments. (a) If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Loan Limit (including as a result of the application of the Concentration Limit), Borrower shall, with in two Business Days after Xxxxxx’s written demand, prepay Loans and/or provide additional Collateral having a Value sufficient to eliminate such excess, provided that if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Commitment, Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans by an amount at least equal to such excess.

(b) Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon prior notice to Lender (which notice must be received by Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the prepayment date) specifying the date and amount of prepayment and the Type of Loan to be prepaid; provided that each prepayment of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period shall require the payment of all amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.04. Any such notice shall be irrevocable, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of principal shall be in an amount of $25,000 or more.

(c) Partial prepayments of the Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to SOFR Loans in such order as will minimize the amount payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.04.

(d) Together with each mandatory or optional prepayment of principal hereunder, Xxxxxxxx shall also prepay all interest accrued on such amount prepaid.

2.06 Reduction or Termination of Commitment; Redemption Trigger Event. (a) Lender shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, on at least 100 days’ prior written notice to Borrower, to terminate the Commitment in whole or in part. If Lender terminates the Commitment in whole, the principal amount of each Loan then outstanding, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all fees, expenses and any other amounts due hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be due and payable in full on the effective date of such termination without any further notice or demand by Lender. If Lender terminates the Commitment in part, Borrower shall on the effective date of such reduction repay all outstanding Loans in excess of the Commitment as so reduced, all interest accrued on such repaid Loans and all accrued Facility Fees on the amount of such reduction in the Commitment. Once such termination has occurred, the Commitment may not be reinstated nor may any reduction of the Commitment be reinstated. For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower in the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 2.06(a).

(b) Borrower may (i) at any time but no more than one time per calendar month, on at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender, permanently reduce the Commitment in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or (ii) at any time, on at least 100 days’ prior written notice to Lender, permanently terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitment; provided that (x) with respect to clause (ii), each reduction of the Commitment shall be in an amount that is $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; (y) Borrower shall not reduce the Commitment unless, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans would not exceed the Commitment as so reduced, and (z) Borrower shall pay on the date of any such termination the principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees (including any Prepayment Fee), expenses and any other amounts due hereunder or under any other Credit Document.

(c) In connection with a Redemption Trigger Event, Borrower may upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior irrevocable written notice to Lender (a “Commitment Size Notice”) permanently reduce the Commitment in part but not in whole without incurring a Prepayment Fee; provided, that:

(i) such Commitment Size Notice shall state (x) the amount by which the Commitment shall be reduced (which amount shall be in increments of $1,000,000) and (y) the dollar amount of redemption requests received by Borrower from its investors with respect to such fiscal quarter;

(ii) such reduction of the Commitment shall occur on either the first or second Interest Payment Date occurring after the end of such fiscal quarter;

(iii) concurrently with the delivery of the Commitment Size Notice, Borrower shall deliver irrevocable written notice to Lender of (A) the dollar amount of redemptions to occur on the last day of such fiscal quarter, (B) the dollar amount of the reduction of the Commitment to occur on such date (which amount shall be in increments of $1,000,000 and shall not be greater than the amount specified in such Commitment Size Notice) and (C) the date on which such reduction of the Commitment shall occur; and

(iv) the amount of such reduction of the Commitment shall be limited such that the ratio of (x) the dollar amount of such reduction to (y) the Commitment prior to giving effect to such reduction shall be less than or equal to the ratio of (1) the dollar amount of redemptions received by Borrower occurring on the last day of such fiscal quarter to (2) the Net Equity of Borrower as of such date prior to giving effect to such redemptions.

2.07 Fees. (a) As consideration for the facility made available hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable arrangement fee in the amount of $0 which fee shall be due on the earlier of the first Borrowing Date hereunder and the Termination Date. Without limiting Borrower’s liability for payment of the arrangement fee, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to deduct such arrangement fee from the proceeds of the initial Loan.

(b) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a facility fee at the rate of 1.07% per annum from the date hereof to and including the Stated Termination Date, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month and, in respect of the final such payment, payable on the Termination Date, in either such case based on the maximum amount of the Commitment (whether used or unused) in effect on each day between the date hereof and the day on which such amount is payable (i.e., giving effect to any increases in the Commitment effected pursuant hereto, but without giving effect to any reductions of the Commitment effected pursuant hereto) (“Facility Fee”); provided that the period from the Termination Date to the Stated Termination Date shall be included in computing the amount of the final Facility Fee payment due on the Termination Date as though the Commitment (in an amount determined in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph) were in effect during such period.

(c) In connection with any termination of the Commitments prior to the Stated Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.06 or as a result of Lender declaring the Obligations due and payable after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender a prepayment fee (the “Prepayment Fee”), which shall b e due and payable at the time of such prepayment, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate Principal Obligations of such Loans being prepaid and (ii) the Prepayment Fee Percentage

2.08 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Benchmark for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. Interest accrued on each Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, on any date on which such Loan is prepaid (on the amount prepaid), whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day such Base Rate Loan is outstanding, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin. Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment

Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Borrowing Date of such Loan, on any date on which such Loan is prepaid (on the amount prepaid), whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity.

(c) If after application of Section 2.10(b), or if Section 2.10(b) is not applicable, to the extent any amounts remain, then, if all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, or (ii) any interest payable thereon or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Facility Document shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.08 (which rate shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be determined in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) for the present period) plus 5.00%, or (y) in the case of overdue interest or any such other amount, the Base Rate plus 5.00%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). Any such interest shall be payable in arrears on demand or, if no earlier demand for payment is made, on the last Business Day of each calendar month. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) if the principal amount of any SOFR Loan or any interest payable thereon shall be due after the Termination Date, then such Loan shall be made, converted or continued on such Termination Date to a Base Rate Loan (regardless of any provision herein concerning minimum amount or notice required for such Loan) and (b) after the Termination Date, all amounts outstanding hereunder or under any other Facility Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus 5.00%.

(d) (i) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to any Loan or any other
obligation of Borrower hereunder exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable for the account of Lender hereunder (the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable law to be charged by Xxxxxx (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable for the account of Lender shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest for the account of Lender at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Xxxxxx is equal to the total interest which Xxxxxx would have received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable for the account of Lender shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by Xxxxxx exceed the amount which Xxxxxx could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

(iii) If Xxxxxx has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrower.

2.09 Interest and Fee Basis. (a) Facility Fees and, whenever it is calculated on the basis of the

Prime Rate, interest on Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day (or 366-day, as the case may be) year for the actual days elapsed; otherwise, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Lender shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower of each determination of the Benchmark for each Loan. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Base Rate is announced. Lender shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate, but failure to give such notice shall not limit or otherwise affect Lender’s entitlement to receive interest on the Loans, and on other amounts payable hereunder, at the rate and on the dates specified herein. Each determination of an interest rate by Lender pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Lender shall, at Xxxxxxxx’s request, deliver to Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by Lender in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.08.

(b) Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment

thereof on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon. If any principal o f or interest on a Loan shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business

Day and, in the case of principal, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest payable on such principal. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rate of interest or fees charged to Borrower to which the rate calculated in accordance with this Agreement is equivalent is the rate so calculated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such calculation is made and the denominator of which is the number of days comprising the basis on which such interest is calculated.

2.10 Method of Payment. (a) All payments (including prepayments) by Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made in Dollars and immediately available funds to Lender by 12:00 noon on the date when due at the office of Lender located at the address specified in Section 8.02 for notices to Lender or as otherwise specified by Xxxxxx to Borrower in writing.

(b) If, on the due date for the payment of interest on any Loan or any Facility Fee or arrangement fee payable hereunder, Xxxxxx has not received from Borrower notice that it intends to pay such interest or fee from another source, then Lender is authorized and directed (i) first, to instruct Custodian (and Custodian is hereby authorized and directed to take such instructions from Lender) to debit the Cash Account for such payment and remit it to Lender and (ii) if such funds in the Cash Account are insufficient to make such payment in full and the unused Commitment is equal to or greater than the remaining unpaid amount, to add the unpaid amount to the principal amount of any Loan that is being made, converted or continued on such due date or, if no Loan is being made, converted or continued on such due date, to make a Base Rate Loan to Borrower on such due date in such unpaid amount (regardless of any provision herein concerning minimum amount or notice required for such Loan).

2.11 Extension of Commitment. Not less than 45 days and not more than 60 days before the Stated Termination Date then in effect, Borrower may, by written notice to Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Request for Extension”), request that the Stated Termination Date be extended for a period of up to 364 days from the Stated Termination Date then in effect. Any such extension shall not be effective unless Lender consents thereto in writing no later than 15 days prior to the Stated Termination Date. Lender may grant or withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that any failure of Lender to respond to such request in such time period shall be deemed to be a refusal to extend. If Xxxxxx shall consent in writing as provided herein, the Stated Termination Date shall be so extended hereunder.

2.12 Change in Initial LTV Ratio and Maximum LTV Ratio. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon 100 days’ prior written notice to Borrower, to adjust the Initial LTV Ratio and/or the Maximum LTV Ratio in its sole and absolute discretion, including the right to adjust either to zero.

2.13 Adjustments to Value. Without limiting Lender’s discretion to determine Value (as set forth in the definition of such term herein), (i) the total Value of all Collateral shall be reduced by the total amount by which Borrower is “out of the money” in respect of any foreign exchange, derivative or other contract or transaction now or hereafter entered into between Lender or any of its Affiliates and Borrower (determined by Lender in its discretion), or by the absolute value of any Collateral or any foreign exchange, derivative or other contract or transaction between Lender or any of its Affiliates and Borrower which has a negative Value to the Borrower (determined by Lender in its discretion), (ii) without limiting Borrower’s obligations or Lender’s rights under Sections 6.02 or 7.01, the Value of the Collateral may be reduced (A) by the amount of any claims, liabilities, or indebtedness, directly or indirectly, on any item of Collateral, or (B) otherwise as a result of any Lien, directly or indirectly, on any item of Collateral, (iii) any item of Collateral as to which Lender determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, there is insufficient current information (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Investee Fund Interest in respect of which an employee in the Alternative Assets Group of Lender’s Group has not made a face-to-face due diligence visit with the investment manager (or other similar person or entity) of such Investee Fund, at such investment manager’s place of business) may be assigned such Value as Lender determines in its sole discretion, including a Value of zero, (iv) if Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion that it does not possess a valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on any item of Collateral, which Lien is senior to all other Liens thereon (other than Liens in favor of Custodian to the extent permitted under the Control Agreement), such item of Collateral may be assigned by Lender such Value as Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion, including a Value of zero, (v) if any Investee Fund Interest constituting part of the Collateral is not registered in the name of Custodian or its nominee promptly upon Borrower’s acquisition thereof, such Investee Fund Interest may be assigned by Lender such Value as Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion, including a Value of zero, (vi) if Lender is notified by Borrower of, or otherwise gains knowledge of, any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding

of any type instituted by or with respect to any issuer of any item of Collateral or any event that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any item of Collateral, such item of Collateral may be assigned such Value as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine, which Value may be zero, and (vii) without prejudice to the foregoing, any item of Collateral may be assigned by Lender such Value as Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion, including a Value of zero or a negative Value, if Lender determines in its sole discretion that such Value is appropriate for Lender’s risk management purposes.

ARTICLE III

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.01 Yield Protection. If after the date hereof the introduction of, or any change in, any Law

or governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), any interpretation thereof or compliance by Lender therewith:

(a) subjects Lender or any applicable lending office to any Tax on or from payments due from Borrower, excluding any Taxes or Other Taxes required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect of the Loans or other amounts due it hereunder;

(b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve (including any Reserve Requirement), assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender or any applicable lending office; or

the result of which is to increase the cost to Lender or any applicable lending office of making, funding or maintaining Loans, to reduce any amount received by Lender or any applicable lending office in connection with Loans or to require Lender or any applicable lending office to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by Lender, then, within fifteen days after demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay Lender that portion of such increased cost incurred or reduction in amount that Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and/or maintaining the Loans and/or the Commitment.

3.02 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If Lender determines that, after the date

hereof, the adoption or implementation of any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change therein (including without limitation any change according to a prescribed schedule of increasing requirements, whether or not known on the date hereof), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive of any such Person regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) has the effect of reducing the return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender could have achieved (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity immediately before such adoption, implementation, change or compliance and assuming that Lender’s capital or liquidity was fully utilized prior to such adoption, implementation, change or compliance) but for such adoption, implementation, change or compliance as a consequence of Lender’s Commitment or outstanding Loans by any amount deemed by Lender in good faith to be material, Borrower shall pay to Lender from time to time on demand, as an additional fee, such amount as Lender determines to be necessary to compensate it for such reduction. The determination by Lender of such amount shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

3.03 Limitation on Types of Loans; Illegality. Anything herein to the contrary

notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Benchmark, the Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that (i) the making or maintenance of such Benchmark would violate any applicable Law, whether or not having the force of law, or (ii) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of any Benchmark are not being provided in the relevant amounts, or that funds of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund such Benchmark are not available, or that the rate of interest based on such Benchmark on any Loan is not likely to adequately cover the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining such Loan, then (x) in the

case of clause (i), immediately upon such determination by the Lender, the availability of such Benchmark shall be suspended and any Loans based on such impacted Benchmark that are outstanding at that time shall be converted to either, at the Lender’s option, (a) Base Rate Loans or (b) Loans bearing interest at a rate per annum as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, and (y) in the case of clause (ii), (1) immediately upon such determination by the Lender, the availability of such Benchmark shall be suspended, and (2) any Loans based on such impacted Benchmark that are outstanding at that time shall be converted at the beginning of the Interest Period immediately following such determination to either, at the Lender’s option, (a) Base Rate Loans or (b) Loans bearing interest at a rate per annum as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”.

3.04 Funding Reimbursement. If (a) any payment of a SOFR Loan occurs on a date that is not

the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loan, whether because of demand for payment, acceleration, mandatory prepayment, optional prepayment or otherwise, (b) any SOFR Loan requested by the Borrower is not made on the date specified by Borrower in any notice delivered pursuant hereto for any reason other than default by Lender, (c) any SOFR Loan is not prepaid or converted on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto,

( ) any SOFR Loan is not continued as such pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.03(b) or (e) any Base Rate Loan is not converted to a SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in each such case, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any loss or cost (excluding lost profits) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including (but not limited to) any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such SOFR Loan. Such reimbursement, if any, shall in no case be deemed to be an amount less than $200.

3.05 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of,

and without deduction for, any and all Taxes now or hereafter imposed. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (i) Borrower shall pay Lender such additional amount as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by Lender after every required deduction or withholding (including any required deduction from, or withholding with respect to, any such additional amount) shall equal the amount Lender would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deduction or withholding, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (iv) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender official receipts from the relevant taxing authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion.

(b) In addition, Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and all other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (excluding any tax on any transfer or assignment of, or any participation in, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (or any portion thereof) that is not made or granted at Xxxxxxxx’s request) which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (“Other Taxes”). Within 30 days after payment by Borrower of any Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.05 (b), Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender official receipts from the relevant taxing authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion.

(c) Borrower will indemnify Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or 3.05(b) but which are asserted directly against Lender and paid by Lender in respect of any payment hereunder or the execution and delivery of any Credit Document (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any juris diction on amounts payable under this Section 3.05), and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days after the date Lender makes demand therefor, accompanied by a certificate of Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount to be paid to it under this paragraph (c), which certificate shall be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of such amount. Nothing contained herein shall impose any obligation on Lender to apply for any refund, or credit or disclose to Borrower or any other Person, its tax returns or any document or information regarding or containing its proprietary information with respect to its tax affairs and computations.

3.06 Lender Statements, Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, Lender

shall (upon Xxxxxxxx’s written request and agreement to reimburse Lender for its costs and expense s incurred in connection therewith) designate an alternate lending office, if available, with respect to SOFR Loans to reduce any

liability of Borrower to Lender under Sections 3.01 and 3.02, so long as such designation is not, in Lender’s judgment, disadvantageous to Lender. Lender shall deliver to Borrower a written statement as to the amount due (if any) under Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with SOFR Loans shall be calculated as though Lender funded such Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the SOFR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether or not that is in fact the case. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in any such written statement shall be payable on demand after the receipt by Borrower of the written statement. Borrower’s obligations under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 and 3.05 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.07 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Lender may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement described in clause (a) of the definition thereof. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.07(a)(1) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(2) Any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Credit Document” for purposes of this Section 3.07.

(b) Benchmark Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of the SOFR Rate or a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Conforming Changes with respect to the SOFR Rate or such Benchmark Replacement from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Conforming Changes and (iii) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 3.07, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including, without limitation, Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks (the “IOSCO Principles”), then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” or “Term SOFR” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the IOSCO Principles for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke a Notice of Borrowing, conversion to or continuation of any Loan bearing the rate of such affected Benchmark to be mad e, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Bas e Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(f) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined):

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, in each case, as of such date, and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (d) of Section 3.07.

“Benchmark” means, initially, the Adjusted SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Adjusted SOFR Rate 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 Section 3.07.

“Benchmark Conforming Changes” means, with respect to either the use or administration of a Loan bearing interest at a rate based on SOFR or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “SOFR”, the definition of “Adjusted SOFR Rate”, the definition of “Term SOFR”, the definition of “Base Rate” (if applicable), the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day”, the definition of “Interest Period” or any similar or analogous definition (or the addition of a concept of “interest period”), timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, the applicability of Section 3.07 and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Lender in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Lender decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Lender determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Lender decides is necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement” means with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, an interest rate equal to the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Lender 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 to the then -current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated bilateral or syndicated credit facilities , and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that if such Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive value or zero) that has been selected by the Lender giving due consideration to (a) 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 or (b) 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 Dollar-denominated bilateral or syndicated credit facilities.

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

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause

(0) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date;

For the avoidance of doubt, 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).

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

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

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

(3) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with

respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in accordance with Section 3.07 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then -current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in accordance with Section 3.07.

“IOSCO Principles” has the meaning set forth in Section 3.07(d).

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto.
