(xvii)

the Uncalled Capital Commitment of such Investor ceases to be Collateral subject to a first priority perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent; or

(xviii)

with respect to any ERISA Investor who is otherwise a Borrowing Base Investor, a voluntary or involuntary proceeding shall have been commenced to terminate such Investor (including the provision of any notice of intent to terminate) or a “reportable event” shall have occurred pursuant to ERISA with respect to such ERISA Investor.

(e)

Mandatory Prepayment. The Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment to the extent that the Principal Obligations exceed the Available Commitment (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event).

Each such prepayment shall be made in such amount as will put the Borrowers in compliance with this Section 2.1(e) and shall be made promptly on demand or when any Credit Party becomes aware of, or reasonably should have become aware of, such excess, but in any event by the Required Payment Time. Unless otherwise required by law, upon: (x) a change in circumstances such that the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above no longer exist; or (y) the full and final payment of the Obligations (other than contingent Obligations that have not been asserted), the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in the applicable account.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1(e) to the contrary, in the event a mandatory prepayment has been triggered pursuant to clause (x) or (y) of this Section 2.1(e), no Borrower will withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts (with respect to amounts that constitute part of the Collateral), unless, after giving effect to such withdrawal, sufficient funds remain on deposit in the Collateral Accounts (less any amounts which do not constitute part of the Collateral) to satisfy the Borrowers’ payment obligation with respect to the related mandatory prepayment.

If any excess calculated pursuant to Section 2.1(e) is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall promptly Cash Collateralize such excess with the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.14(h), as security for such portion of the Obligations. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, upon: (A) a change in circumstances such that the Dollar Equivalent of Principal Obligations no longer exceed the Available Commitment; or (B) the full and final payment of the Obligations and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in said Cash Collateral Account.

2.2

Revolving Credit Commitment. On the terms set forth herein and subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.1(b) and Section 6, each Lender severally agrees, on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, to make Loans to the Borrowers at any time and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of such Xxxxxx’s Commitment at any such time; provided that, after making any such Loan: (a) such Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share of the Principal Obligations funded by it would not exceed such Xxxxxx’s Commitment; and (b) the Principal Obligations would not exceed the Available Commitment. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6 and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, repay without penalty or premium, and re-borrow hereunder, during the Commitment Period. Each Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be funded ratably by each Lender in accordance with its Lender Pro Rata Share (but subject to Section 2.3(f)). No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.6(a) would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan.

2.3

Manner of Borrowing.

(a)

Request for Borrowing. Each Borrowing hereunder shall be made by one or more Borrowers. The applicable Borrower(s) shall give the Administrative Agent notice by facsimile or electronic mail of the date of each requested Borrowing hereunder (a “Request for Borrowing”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, and which notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent. Each Request for Borrowing: (i) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to any Daily Simple RFR Loan or Term SOFR Loan, (iii) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loan; (ii) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to any Alternate Base Rate Loan; and (iv) must specify: (A) the amount of such Borrowing; (B) the Interest Period, if applicable; (C) the currency as Dollars or an Alternative Currency; and (D) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day. Any Request for Borrowing received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been given by the applicable Borrower(s) on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Request for Borrowing submitted by a Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Section 6.2 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement), Section 6.2, and if applicable, Section 6.3 have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Borrowing. No Request for Borrowing shall

be valid hereunder for any purpose unless it shall have been accompanied or preceded by the information and other documents required to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.3.

(b)

Further Information. Each Request for Borrowing shall be accompanied or preceded by: (i) a Borrowing Request Borrowing Base Certificate dated the date of such Request for Borrowing; and (ii) such documents as are required to satisfy any applicable conditions precedent as provided in Section 6.1 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement), Section 6.2, and if applicable, Section 6.3 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement to each Qualified Borrower).

(c)

Notification of Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Request for Borrowing.

(d)

Irrevocability of Requests for Borrowing. Requests for Borrowings shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or expense incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the Borrowers to complete such requested Borrowing, including any cost, loss or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, either directly or indirectly by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender in order to fund such requested Borrowing except to the extent such cost, loss or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount of any such cost, loss or expense, and the basis for the determination thereof and the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

(e)

Xxxxxx’s Commitment. Each Lender shall make such Loan in accordance with its Lender Pro Rata Share (but subject to Section 2.3(f)). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.3(e) or elsewhere in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Administrative Agent or any Borrower with funds in connection with a Loan in an amount that would result in the Loans then funded by it exceeding its Commitment then in effect. The obligation of each Lender to remit its Lender Pro Rata Share of any such Loan requested of it shall be several from that of each other Lender, and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.

(f)

Defaulting Lender. If, by 3:00 p.m. on any funding date, one or more Lenders (each Lender other than any Defaulting Lender being referred to as a “Non‑Defaulting Lender”) fails to make its share of any Loan available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.5 (the aggregate amount not so made available to the Administrative Agent being herein called the “Loan Deficit”), then the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 3:30 p.m. on the applicable funding date instruct each Non-Defaulting Lender to pay, by no later than 4:00 p.m. on such date, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) such Non-Defaulting Lender’s proportionate share (based upon the relative Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders) of the Loan Deficit; and (ii) its unused Commitment. A Defaulting Lender shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Non-Defaulting Lenders all amounts paid by each Non-Defaulting Lender on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Non-Defaulting Lender until the date such Non-Defaulting Lender has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(g)

Rollovers. No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the termination of each Interest Period (other than the Interest Period ending on the Stated Maturity Date) related to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Term SOFR Loan (if applicable), the Borrower(s) shall give the Administrative Agent notice by facsimile or electronic mail, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the “Rollover Notice”) whether it desires to renew such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan, as applicable. The Rollover Notice shall also specify the length of the Interest Period selected by the Borrower(s) with respect to such Rollover. Each Rollover Notice shall be effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent. Each Rollover Notice shall be irrevocable. If the applicable Borrower(s) fails to timely give the Administrative Agent the Rollover Notice with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan, as the case may be, such Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have elected to renew such Loan as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month commencing on the expiration of the preceding Interest Period.

(h)

Conversions. The Borrower(s) shall have the right, with respect to: (i) any Alternate Base Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “Term SOFR Conversion Date”), to convert such Alternate Base Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan; and (ii) any Term SOFR Loan, on any Business Day (an “Alternate Base Rate Conversion Date”) to convert such Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Base Rate Loan; provided that the Borrower(s) shall, on such Alternate Base Rate Conversion Date, make the payments required by Section 4.5, if any; in either case, by giving the Administrative Agent notice by facsimile or electronic mail, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (a “Conversion Notice”) of such selection no later than at least either (x) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to such Term SOFR Conversion Date, or (y) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Alternate Base Rate Conversion Date, as applicable. Each Conversion Notice shall be effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent and shall be irrevocable.

(i)

Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no more than fifteen (15) Eurocurrency Rate Loans may be outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Commitment Period.

(j)

Administrative Agent Notification of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender (and will use good faith efforts to make such notification on the day such notice is timely received from the applicable Borrower(s); provided that the failure to provide such notice on such day shall impose no liability on the Administrative Agent) of the receipt of a Request for Borrowing, a Conversion Notice or a Rollover Notice, the amount of the Borrowing and the amount of such Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, the date the Borrowing is to be made, the Interest Option selected, the Interest Period selected, if applicable, and the applicable rate of interest.

2.4

Minimum Loan Amounts. Subject to Section 3.3(c), each Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $250,000; provided that an Alternate Base Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under Section 2.14(c). Any Loans in an Alternative Currency shall satisfy these minimum thresholds on a Dollar Equivalent basis.

2.5

Funding. Subject to the fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in Section 6, (a) by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time), on the date specified in the related Request for Borrowing as the borrowing date, each Lender shall wire the proceeds of its ratable share of each Borrowing to the Administrative Agent at the account designated in writing by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, and (b) by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time), on such date (or in the case of Loans

in any Alternative Currency other than Dollars, Sterling or Euros, the next available Business Day on which such currency is immediately available to fund), the Administrative Agent shall (i) if the account specified in the related Request for Borrowing is maintained with the Administrative Agent, deposit such proceeds, in immediately available funds, into such account, and otherwise, (ii) initiate a wire transfer of such proceeds to the account specified in the related Request for Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Lender Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Lender Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Lender Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the applicable Borrower(s) a corresponding amount. If a Lender fails to make its Lender Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable date, then the Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand: (a) from such Lender, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the applicable Borrower(s) by the Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; or (b) if such Lender fails to pay such amount within three (3) Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s demand and the Non-Defaulting Lenders have not made such amount available pursuant to Section 2.3(f), then from the Borrowers by the Required Payment Time, together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to the requested Borrowing for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the applicable Borrower(s) and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from the Borrowers. The liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim any such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to the Borrower(s) only for the amount of its respective Commitment.

2.6

Interest.

(a)

Interest Rate. Each Loan funded by a Lender shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to: (i) with respect to each Eurocurrency Loan, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, (ii) with respect to each Daily Simple RFR Loan, Daily Simple RFR plus the Applicable Margin, (iii) with respect to each Alternate Base Rate Loan, the Alternate Base Rate in effect plus the Applicable Margin and (iv) with respect to each Term SOFR Loan, Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)

Change in Rate; Past Due Amounts; Calculations of Interest. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall become effective, without prior notice to the Credit Parties, automatically as of the opening of business of the Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of each Type of Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days (or in the case of interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, such interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year)). If any principal of, or interest on, the Obligations is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, but following the expiration of all applicable notice and grace periods), then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a)) all such overdue Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Interest shall accrue on each Loan from the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on

which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.4, bear interest for one day.

(c)

Daily Simple RFR Interest Payment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly upon the amount of any RFR Interest Payment becoming determinable notify:

(i)

(such notification to be made no later than three applicable Daily Simple RFR Business Days prior to the due date for such Daily Simple RFR Interest Payment) the relevant Borrower of the amount of that Daily Simple RFR Interest Payment;

(ii)

each Lender of the proportion of that Daily Simple RFR Interest Payment which relates to that Xxxxxx’s participation in the relevant Daily Simple RFR Loan; and

(iii)

the relevant Lenders and the relevant Borrower of each applicable rate of interest and the amount of interest for each day relating to the determination of that Daily Simple RFR Interest Payment (including a breakdown of such rate and amount of interest as between the applicable rate and the Daily Simple RFR for such date and any other information that the relevant Borrower may reasonably request in relation to the calculation of such rate and amount or the determination of that Daily Simple RFR Interest Payment).

(d)

Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes, in consultation with the Borrowers, from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of a Benchmark.

2.7

Determination of Rate and Billing. The Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and the determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent will bill the Borrowers on behalf of all Lenders with respect to interest on the Loans.

2.8

Addition of Qualified Borrowers and Payment of the Borrower Guaranty.

(a)

An entity shall be approved as a “Qualified Borrower” hereunder if (i) a Primary Borrower shall have obtained the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Administrative Agent shall approve such entity as a Qualified Borrower unless either (x) such entity is organized, incorporated, formed or registered, as applicable, in a jurisdiction in which any applicable Lender cannot make Loans or (y) such entity fails to comply with “Know Your Customer”, Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws or any similar applicable regulatory prohibition or policy applicable to any Lender which is then in effect or fails to deliver applicable “Know Your Customer” documentation reasonably required by any Lender (through the Administrative Agent); (ii) such entity shall be one in which such Primary Borrower owns a direct or indirect ownership interest, or through which such Primary Borrowers may acquire an investment, the indebtedness of which entity can be guaranteed by such Primary Borrower pursuant to the terms of its Constituent Documents; and (iii) the provisions of this Section 2.8 and Section 6.3 shall have been satisfied.

(b)

Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 2.8(a), the entity approved as a Qualified Borrower shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement as if it were a Borrower hereunder.

(c)

The applicable Primary Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders an unconditional guaranty of payment in substantially the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (a “Borrower Guaranty”, and collectively with all such guaranties, the “Borrower Guaranties”), which shall be enforceable against such Primary Borrower for the payment of such Qualified Borrower’s Obligations.

(d)

In the event that any Qualified Borrower has not previously done so, and to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, such Qualified Borrower shall execute and deliver a promissory note, in substantially the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (a “Qualified Borrower Promissory Note”), the payment of which is guaranteed by a Primary Borrower pursuant to a Borrower Guaranty payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the principal amount of its related Obligations.

(e)

In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance Loans to a Qualified Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 and to accept Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the applicable Primary Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, within the limits of the Available Commitment, to disburse directly to the Lenders, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to any Obligations due and owing by a Qualified Borrower and guaranteed by such Primary Borrower under a Borrower Guaranty, as a Borrowing hereunder by such Primary Borrower, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due (following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods specified in Section 10.1(a), 10.1(b) or 10.1(c)). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify such Primary Borrower of any disbursement made to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be an Alternate Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3, and such Primary Borrower shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3 a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Lenders as to the amount of any such Obligations due to the Lenders, absent manifest error.

(f)

If a Qualified Borrower has no Obligations outstanding, such Qualified Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw from the Credit Facility as a Qualified Borrower upon ten (10) days advance written notice to the Administrative Agent, whereupon such Qualified Borrower shall have no further obligations under this Credit Agreement (except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.8(f)). Upon request of such withdrawing Qualified Borrower, the Administrative Agent will return or destroy any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note issued by such Qualified Borrower. Notwithstanding any withdrawal by a Qualified Borrower, such Qualified Borrower (and its Primary Borrower pursuant to the applicable Borrower Guaranty) shall remain liable for any amounts due to the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 4 and Section 12.5 from such Qualified Borrower, which provisions shall survive any withdrawal by a Qualified Borrower and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

2.9

Use of Proceeds and Borrower Guaranties. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by each Borrower solely for Permitted Uses. The Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Loan or Letter

of Credit to acquire a Portfolio Investment for which they would not be entitled under their Constituent Documents to issue Investor Capital Calls for the purpose of making such acquisition. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall (a) have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or its execution and delivery of any Borrower Guaranty, or (b) be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans is for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any Rollover, any Conversion, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any Borrower Guaranty or other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by any Borrower is permitted by the terms of the Constituent Documents of such Borrower or any other Credit Party. Each Borrower agrees to respond promptly to any reasonable requests for information related to its use of Loan and Letter of Credit proceeds to the extent required by any Lender in connection with such Lender’s determination of its compliance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 371c) and the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W (12 C.F.R. Part 223). No Borrower shall to its knowledge use the proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder to purchase any asset or securities from, or securities issued by, any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 223. In connection with each Request for Borrowing hereunder, the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing that, to its knowledge, as of the date of the requested Borrowing, the proceeds of such Borrowing will not be used by such Borrower to, directly or indirectly, either (x) purchase any asset or securities from, or securities issued by, any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 223 or (y) invest in any fund advised by a Lender or an Affiliate thereof.

2.10

Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3, the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its ratable share of the Commitments, an aggregate unused commitment fee on the daily amount of the Maximum Commitment which was unused (such amount, the “Unused Portion”) at the Unused Commitment Fee Rate, calculated daily on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and payable in arrears on the tenth (10th) calendar day of each calendar quarter (or the next succeeding Business Day, if such day is not a Business Day) for the preceding calendar quarter. For purposes of this Section 2.10, the fee shall be calculated on an average daily basis. Each of the Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

2.11

Upfront Fee and Other Fees. The Initial Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to SMBC, as Administrative Agent, the Upfront Fee, the Administration Fee and all other fees, in each case as provided in the Fee Letter.

2.12

Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrower and the Lenders, with mutual consent, shall have the option to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect for one (1) additional term (each such extension, a “Facility Extension”), each no longer than 364 days, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a)

the Borrowers shall have paid the amount of any extension fee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders), a fee in an amount as set forth in the applicable Fee Letter, payable upon the extension of the Stated Maturity Date to each such Lender ratably;

(b)

no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with Section 2.12(d) or on the Stated Maturity Date then in effect;

(c)

all representations and warranties of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the initial Stated Maturity Date, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that if any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality, then it shall be true and correct in all respects; and

(d)

the Borrowers shall have delivered an Extension Request with respect to the Stated Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date (or such lesser number of days, at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) then in effect (which shall be promptly forwarded by the Administrative Agent to each Lender).

2.13

Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a)

Request for Increase. Subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.13, the Borrowers may increase the Maximum Commitment to an amount not to exceed the amount set forth on Schedule IV (as may be amended, modified or updated from time to time) (or such greater amount as agreed among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers) with the written consent of the Lenders. Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, in $5,000,000 increments, or such other amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent (each such increase shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”).

(b)

Effective Date. Within five (5) Business Days (or such shorter time period as the Administrative Agent may agree) of the receipt of a request from the Borrowers to increase the Maximum Commitment, the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrowers shall determine the effective date of the Facility Increase, if any (the “Facility Increase Effective Date”) and, if the Administrative Agent has determined that the conditions precedent to such Facility Increase have been satisfied, shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the Facility Increase Effective Date.

(c)

Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. The following are conditions precedent to such increase:

(i)

the Borrowers shall, not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day or such shorter time period as the Administrative Agent may agree, prior to the Facility Increase Effective Date, deliver to Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request and (x) to the extent the Maximum Commitment increase has not been previously authorized, resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase or (y) to the extent such Maximum Commitment increase was previously authorized, copies of such prior resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, in each case, certified by a Responsible Officer of each Borrower that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect;

(ii)

no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the proposed date of such Facility Increase;

(iii)

if applicable, the Borrowers shall execute replacement Notes payable to each requesting Lender reflecting the Facility Increase;

(iv)

all representations and warranties of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the proposed date of such Facility Increase, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(v)

on the Facility Increase Effective Date, (x) an existing Lender or Lenders shall increase its Commitment to support any Facility Increase, in its sole discretion, and/or (y) an additional Lender or Lenders shall have joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 12.11(i) (and any documentation necessary pursuant to such Section 12.11(i) shall have been delivered in accordance with the terms thereof) and, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Commitments of such increasing and additional Lenders shall be at least equal to the amount of such Facility Increase;

(vi)

2.14

Letters of Credit.

(a)

Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue such Letters of Credit in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency and in such aggregate face amounts as the Borrowers may request; provided that: (i) on the date of issuance, the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of any such Letter of Credit) will not exceed the lesser of: (A) the remainder of: (1) the Available Commitment as of such date minus (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations as of such date and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit shall not be later than (A) twelve (12) months after the date of issuance (subject to automatic renewal for additional one year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer) without the Letter of Credit Issuer’s consent, in its sole discretion, or (B) thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, or, if the Borrowers comply with Section 2.14(h), within one (1) year after the Stated Maturity Date; (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the Letter of Credit Issuer and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York; and (v) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after the Closing Date (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or

any Applicable Law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer deems material to it, (B) the Borrowers have not provided the information necessary for the Letter of Credit Issuer to complete the form of Letter of Credit, or (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Applicable Law or one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowers request that a Letter of Credit be issued for the account of any Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be liable for all Obligations under such Letter of Credit as if it had been issued for the account of the Borrowers.

(b)

Request. Each request for a Letter of Credit (a “Request for Letter of Credit”) shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer in the form of Exhibit E-2 (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), together with a Letter of Credit Application and a Borrowing Request Borrowing Base Certificate (each of which shall be in final form upon delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent), for the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, on or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, at least four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or six (6) Business Days with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by any branch of the Letter of Credit Issuer located outside of the United States). The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such Request for Letter of Credit and the terms of the requested Letter of Credit. Upon each such application, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have automatically made to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and the Letter of Credit Issuer the following representations and warranties:

(i)

The Letter of Credit Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit) will not exceed the lesser of: (A) the remainder of: (1) the Available Commitment as of such date; minus (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations as of such date; and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit on such date; and

(ii)

All conditions precedent in Section 6.2 for the issuance of such Letter of Credit will be satisfied as of the date of such issuance.

(c)

Participation by the Lenders. Each Lender shall and does hereby participate ratably with the Letter of Credit Issuer in each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder to the extent of its Lender Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability with respect to each such Letter of Credit, and shall share in all rights and obligations resulting therefrom, including, without limitation: (i) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Lender Pro Rata Share of any reimbursement of the amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, including any interest payable with respect thereto; (ii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Lender Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 2.15; (iii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its additional costs pursuant to Section 4.1; and (iv) the obligation to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds, its Lender Pro Rata Share of any unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit.

(d)

Payment of Letter of Credit. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers agree to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Loan as provided for in this Section 2.14 or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Letter of Credit Issuer on

each date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer notifies the Borrowers of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of such draft so paid and any amounts representing interest, costs, expenses or fees incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such payment. Unless the Borrowers shall immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer that the Borrowers intend to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given a Request for Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, and the Borrowers hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to disburse directly, as a Borrowing hereunder, to the Letter of Credit Issuer, with notice to the Borrowers, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit plus all interest, costs and expenses, and fees due to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Credit Agreement. Subject to receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s Lender Pro Rata Share of the amount disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer on the Business Day on which the Letter of Credit Issuer honors any such draft or incurs or is owed any such interest, costs, expenses or fees. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any such disbursements made by the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Lenders to the Letter of Credit Issuer on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an Alternate Base Rate Loan if in Dollars and a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with a one-month Interest Period if in an Alternative Currency; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely on the Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount due the Letter of Credit Issuer by reason of any draft of a Letter of Credit or due the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit Application. The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, as applicable, the obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Borrowings, each under this Section 2.14(d) shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall, irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions to the making of any Loans described in Section 2.1(b), Section 6.1, Section 6.2, and/or Section 6.3, as applicable, be honored in accordance with this Section 2.14(d) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the terms of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (iv) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under a Letter of Credit; (v) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (vi) any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with

any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (vii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (viii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower of each request for a draw under a Letter of Credit and each draw under a Letter of Credit.

(e)

Borrower Inspection. The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to them and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer of the same in writing. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)

Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Credit Parties agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers from pursuing such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 2.14(d). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g)

Acceleration of Undrawn Amounts. Should the Administrative Agent demand payment of the Obligations hereunder prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.2, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Borrowers, may take one or both of the following actions: (i) declare the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon such obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the Letter of Credit Xxxxxxxxx to be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived, and demand that the Borrowers Cash Collateralize, as security for the Obligations, an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount at the time such notice is given. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, upon the full and final payment of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in said Cash Collateral Account.

(h)

Cash Collateral. If (i) as of the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (ii) any other circumstances under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents occurs requiring the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit, then, in each case, the Borrowers shall promptly Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or, in the case of Section 2.14(h)(ii), such amount expressly required by the terms of this Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral subject to the terms of this Section 2.14(h) and any security agreement, control agreement and other documentation requested by the Administrative Agent to be executed in connection with opening a Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of holding such Cash Collateral. All Cash Collateral to be provided by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.14(h) shall be in the currency or currencies of the underlying Letters of Credit. All Cash Collateral shall be funded by the proceeds of Capital Calls, and not from any other source. Cash Collateral held in a Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the reimbursement of the Letter of Credit Issuer for any payment made by it of drafts drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof, after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Letter of Credit Liability shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, of Cash Collateral held in a Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.14(h) shall be returned to the Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral and in each Cash Collateral Account as security in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability.

(i)

Lenders’ Continuing Obligations. In the event any Letter of Credit Liability is Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.14(h) or otherwise pursuant to this Credit Agreement (including but not limited to the Cash Collateralizing of a Letter of Credit outstanding beyond the Maturity Date), each Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall continue in all respects, each Lender will continue to be entitled to receive its Lender Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee payable in accordance with Section 2.15, and the Lenders shall continue to be obligated to fund their respective Lender Pro Rata Shares of any drawing under such Letter of Credit in the event the Cash Collateral is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to fully fund such drawing (including, but not limited to, as a result of any preference claim or other clawback under any proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws).

(j)

Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, this Section 2.14 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 12.12.

2.15

Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent: (a) for the benefit of the Lenders, in consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to the Applicable Margin if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) on the daily face amount of each Letter of Credit, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit, payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Letter of Credit that is outstanding but has been Cash Collateralized) calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days; and (b) for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer: (i) so long as there is at least one Lender other than the Letter of Credit Issuer, a non-refundable fronting fee equal to 12.5 basis points (0.125%) of the maximum amount of each Letter of Credit, payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter; and (ii) all other reasonable and customary out of pocket

expenses actually incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer related to the issuance, amendment or transfer of Letters of Credit upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer.

2.16

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of any Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lender.

(b)

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement (other than the Borrower).

(c)

Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.16(d) and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan 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 the Term SOFR Reference Rate or EURIBOR) 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 Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or

publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent 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 with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Daily Simple RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Daily Simple RFR Loans, or a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing of, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable Agreed Currency and, failing that, (A) in the case of any request for any affected Term SOFR Borrowing, if applicable, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) in the case of any request for any affected Daily Simple RFR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, in each case, in an Alternative Currency, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii)(A) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (B) any outstanding affected Daily Simple RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case, denominated in an Alternative Currency, at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (I) be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (II) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any Daily Simple RFR Loan, if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above; provided further that with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, if no election is made by the Borrowers by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.5. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

2.17

Canadian Benchmark Replacement Setting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(a)

Replacing CDOR. On May 16, 2022 Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (“RBSL”), the administrator of CDOR, announced in a public statement that the calculation and publication of all tenors of CDOR will permanently cease immediately following a final publication on Friday, June 28, 2024. On the earlier of (A) the date that all Available Canadian Tenors of

CDOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by RBSL and (B) June 28, 2024 (the “CDOR Cessation Date”), if the then-current Canadian Benchmark is CDOR, the Canadian Benchmark Replacement will replace such Canadian Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Canadian Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Canadian Benchmark Replacement is Daily Compounded XXXXX, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(b)

Replacing Future Canadian Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Canadian Benchmark Transition Event, the Canadian Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Canadian Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Canadian Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Canadian Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Canadian Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Canadian Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Canadian Benchmark or such Canadian Benchmark has been announced by the administrator or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Canadian Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Canadian Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Canadian Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Canadian Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Canadian Benchmark.

(c)

Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Canadian Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement.

(d)

Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Canadian Benchmark Replacement, (ii) any occurrence of a Term XXXXX Transition Event, and (iii) the effectiveness of any Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17, 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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17.

(e)

Unavailability of Tenor of Canadian Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Canadian Benchmark Replacement), if the then-current Canadian Benchmark is a term rate (including Term XXXXX or CDOR), then (i) the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Canadian Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative

for Canadian Benchmark (including Canadian Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Canadian Benchmark (including Canadian Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(f)

Secondary Term XXXXX Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this clause, if a Term XXXXX Transition Event and its related Term XXXXX Transition Date have occurred, then on and after such Term XXXXX Transition Date (i) the Canadian Benchmark Replacement described in clause (a)(i) of such definition will replace the then-current Canadian Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Canadian Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (ii) each Loan outstanding on the Term XXXXX Transition Date bearing interest based on the then-current Canadian Benchmark shall convert, at the last day of the then current interest payment period, into a Loan bearing interest at the Canadian Benchmark Replacement described in clause (a)(i) of such definition for the respective Available Canadian Tenor as selected by the Borrower as is available for the then-current Canadian Benchmark; provided that, this clause (f) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term XXXXX Notice, and so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of the Term XXXXX Notice, written notice of objection to such conversion to Term XXXXX from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders or the Borrower.

(g)

Required Lenders. For the purposes of this Section 2.17, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Credit Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Canadian Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders.

Section 3.

PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

3.1

Revolving Credit Notes. The Administrative Agent may request that the Loans made under this Credit Agreement be evidenced by promissory notes in favor of each Lender. In such event, each Borrower shall execute and deliver the requested promissory notes each payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Lender in the amount up to the aggregate Commitment of such Lender. Any such note issued by the Borrowers shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith). Each Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of a Lender, to reissue a new Note, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to such Lender, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by such Borrower to such Lender, so long as such previously issued Note shall be returned by such Lender to the applicable Borrowers and marked “cancelled” or “replaced”.

3.2

Payment of Obligations. The unpaid principal amount of the Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All Loans shall be repaid in the currency in which they were borrowed.

3.3

Payment of Interest.

(a)

Interest. Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent consistent with the provisions of Section 2.6, notwithstanding whether any Borrower received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date. When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from the Borrower(s) in accordance with the related Request for Borrowing,

then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent’s account described in Section 3.4, or any other account of the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers. Interest shall be payable in the currency of the related Loan.

(b)

Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) subject to Section 10.5, at all times when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by the Administrative Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(c)

Direct Disbursement. With at least three (3) Business Days (or on the same Business Day for an Alternate Base Rate Loan or Alternate Base Rate Rollover) notice prior to any Interest Payment Date on which interest is payable hereunder by any Borrower, such Borrower may request in writing, within the limits of the Available Commitment and so long as each of the conditions specified in Section 6.2 and if applicable Section 6.3 (to the extent not previously satisfied at the time such Qualified Borrower initially becomes a Borrower) have been satisfied, that the Administrative Agent disburse to the Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the interest or fees due to them from such Borrower, which disbursement shall be deemed to be a Loan pursuant to Section 2.3. Such Loan shall be either: (i) a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, if the applicable Lender can consolidate such Loan with an existing Eurocurrency Rate Loan that is then subject to a Rollover; or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate Loan. Such Loan will not be subject to the minimum and multiple amount limitations in Section 2.4. If the Lenders shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon any Loan or any fee described herein, the Administrative Agent may, without prior notice to or the consent of the Credit Parties, following the expiration of all applicable notice and grace periods specified in Section 10.1(a), 10.1(b) or 10.1(c), as applicable, related to the payments of such amounts, within the limits of the Available Commitment, disburse to the Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to any interest or fees due to them, which disbursement shall be deemed to be an Alternate Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3. After any such disbursement of funds as contemplated in this Section 3.3(c), the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver written notice of such disbursement to the applicable Borrower(s); provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to give such notice will not affect the validity of such disbursement.

3.4

Payments on the Obligations. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by the Credit Parties to or for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense or recoupment by any Borrower for receipt by the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m. (New York time), on the due date therefor in federal or other immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at account number 423001 at SMBC, New York (Swift:SMBCUS33), beneficiary “SMBC Loan Operations New York”, reference “BlackRock Direct Lending Corp.” or any other account of the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers. Funds received after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the due date therefor shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day immediately following receipt of such funds. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 3.4, each Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received

by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. (New York time). If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the immediately following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in calculating interest or fees, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that payments to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations to or for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall constitute satisfaction of the Borrowers’ obligations with respect to any such payments, and the Administrative Agent shall indemnify, and each Lender shall hold harmless, the Borrowers from any claims asserted by any Lender in connection with the Administrative Agent’s duty to distribute and apportion such payments to the Lenders in accordance with this Section 3.4. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made on the Obligations shall be credited as directed by the Borrowers. At all times when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner: (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including attorneys’ fees) payable by any of the Credit Parties under the terms of the Loan Documents; (b) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; and (d) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.

3.5

Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of an event or financing so long as revocation of any such notice is provided to the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of such prepayment and payment of all amounts due per Section 4.5), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent by no later than: (i) 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the equivalent multiple in the applicable currency thereof) or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such prepayment and the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of such Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each prepayment of a Loan shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Lender Pro Rata Share.

3.6

Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Request for Borrowing, Conversion, Rollover or Request for Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrowers may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving written notice (which notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of an event or financing so long as revocation of any such notice is provided to the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction) to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction three (3) days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrowers in such notice), (a) (i) in the case of complete termination of the Commitments, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5; or (ii) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount, if any, by which the Principal Obligations exceed the reduced Available Commitment resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5, (b) in the case of the complete termination of the Commitments, if any Letter of Credit Liability exists, upon payment to the Administrative Agent of the Cash Collateral (from the proceeds of Capital Calls only) for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section

2.14(h), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (2) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrowers reduce the Maximum Commitment to less than $5,000,000 (except (i) for a termination of all the Commitments and (ii) as otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders on a pro rata basis.

3.7

Lending Office. Each Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its lending office (its “Lending Office”) (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Type of Loan and (b) change its Lending Office for any Type of Loan from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall hold the Notes, if any, evidencing such Xxxxxx’s Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.5.

3.8

Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants the following:

(a)

Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to, and the Letter of Credit Issuer has been induced to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by each Borrower that each Borrower desires that all Obligations under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as separate obligations of each Borrower, should the Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

(b)

Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Loans and the other Obligations, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans, the Letters of Credit and the other Obligations against any one or more of the Borrowers.

(c)

Separate Exercise of Remedies. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) may exercise remedies against each Borrower and its property separately, whether or not the Administrative Agent exercises remedies against any other Borrower or its property. The Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Borrower’s obligations without enforcing any other Borrower’s obligations and vice versa. Any failure or inability of the Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Borrower’s obligations shall not in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of the other Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more Collateral Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Loans only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Lenders from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, the Administrative Agent’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Loans secured by such Collateral Documents under the applicable state law.

Section 4.

TAXES; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1

Taxes.

(a)

Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the term “Lender” includes the Letter of Credit Issuer and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b)

Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan 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 (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower 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 4.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)

Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)

Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, by the Required Payment Time after written 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 4.1) 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; provided that if the Recipient requests indemnification more than one-hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Recipient makes such payment of Indemnified Taxes or liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto and (ii) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority or other party makes written demand upon such Recipient for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto, such Recipient shall not be indemnified to the extent such delay results in prejudice to the Borrowers. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability setting forth the calculation of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)

Tax Indemnification by the Lenders. Without prejudice to, or duplication of, Section 11.7, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan 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 Loan 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 4.1(e).

(f)

Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.1, such Borrower 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.

(g)

Status of Lenders.

(i)

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers 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 in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers 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 in Sections 4.1(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) 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.

(ii)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)

any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of such 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;

(B)

(i)

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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form 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;

(ii)

executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)

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

(iv)

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, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit S-2 or Exhibit S-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 S-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)

any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested in writing by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)

if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations 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 Section 4.1(g)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)

The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with, if it is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), two copies of duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding, and, if it is not a United States person, two copies of duly completed and executed (1) IRS Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, with respect to payments to be received by it as a beneficial owner and (2) IRS Form W-8IMY (together with required accompanying documentation) assuming primary responsibility for U.S. federal income tax withholding with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Lenders, and shall update such forms periodically upon the reasonable request of the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1(g), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any form that such Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver, provided that, in the event that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver the forms described in this Section 4.1(g), the Borrower may require the appointment of a sub-agent, which sub-agent shall deliver to the Borrower the documentation described in this Section 4.1(g).

(i)

Selection of Lending Office. If any Lender requires any 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 4.1 or Section 4.4, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrowers, 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 good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.4 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 Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(j)

Treatment 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 this Section 4.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1), 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 4.1 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 written request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.1(h) (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 4.1(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.1(h) 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 amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 4.1(h) 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.

(k)

Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive and remain in full force and effect for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after 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 Loan Document.

4.2

Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans or other Obligations, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, the applicable Agreed Currency or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Daily Simple RFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any applicable Alternative Currency in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Alternative Currency then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make Daily Simple RFR Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, and any right of the Borrower to continue Daily Simple RFR Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in the affected Agreed Currency or Agreed Currencies shall be suspended until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, and (b) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay all outstanding Loans or, if applicable, convert all Daily Simple RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an affected Alternative Currency to Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) (if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), (A) with respect to Daily Simple RFR Loans, on the Interest Payment Date therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Daily Simple RFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Daily Simple RFR Loans to such day or (B) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.5. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

4.3

Inability to Determine Rates. With respect to any RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, subject to Section 2.16, if:

(a)

the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that:

(i)

(A) if Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, “Daily Simple RFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) if Term SOFR or any Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, “Term SOFR” or such “Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate”, as applicable, cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period; or

(ii)

with respect to any such Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to such Alternative Currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls);

(d)

respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or any request therefor or a continuation thereof, the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits in the applicable Alternative Currency are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Alternative Currency, amount or Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent; or

(e)

the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for such Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that (i) if Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Daily Simple RFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans; (ii) if Term SOFR or Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, Term SOFR or Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loan during the applicable Interest Period; and, in the case of (i) or (ii), the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each applicable Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in each such Agreed Currency, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan in each such Agreed Currency (if applicable) to or continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan, Daily Simple RFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable, in each such Agreed Currency, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b) or (c), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans in each such affected Currency (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for an affected Term SOFR Borrowing, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (II) in the case of any

request for an affected Daily Simple RFR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (II) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (i) be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (ii) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is the earlier of (x) three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice or (y) with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the last day of the current Interest Period, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (i) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.5. Subject to Section 2.16, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

4.4

Increased Cost and Capital Adequacy.

(a)

Increased Costs Generally. If after the Closing Date (or with respect to a Person first becoming a Lender after the Closing Date, the date such Person first becomes a Lender) (x) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, (y) any guidance, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (z) compliance, application or implementation by any Lender with the foregoing subclause (x) or (y) or any Existing Law:

(i)

imposes or modifies any reserve, fee, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, any liabilities of or any credit extended by, any Lender in respect of or in connection with this Credit Agreement (other than Taxes);

(ii)

subjects any Lender to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) 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;

(iii)

has the effect of reducing a Lender’s rate of return (other than as a result of Taxes) in respect of this Credit Agreement on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved but for the occurrences set forth in Section 4.4(a);

(iv)

affects the amount of the capital required to be maintained by such Lender; or

(v)

causes an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Lender, which in the sole discretion of such Lender is allocable to the Initial Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender,

the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event within 20 Business Days) pay to any such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)

Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’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 capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Xxxxxx’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Xxxxxx’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) or causes an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Lender, which in such party’s sole discretion is allocable to the Borrowers or to the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement, then from time to time upon written request of such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender by the Required Payment Time, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)

Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender (x) setting forth with reasonable supporting detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in Section 4.4(a) and Section 4.4(b) and (y) with respect to any Lender that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, such other information or support reasonably requested by the Initial Borrower shall be delivered to the Initial Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 4.4 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder. The Initial Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate by the Required Payment Time.

(d)

Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.4 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender, notifies the Borrowers of such Xxxxxx’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 one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.5

Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender harmless from, any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties as a result of (a) any failure or refusal of the Borrowers (for any reasons whatsoever other than a default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) to accept a Loan after the Borrowers shall have requested such Loan under this Credit Agreement (whether pursuant to Section 2.3 or otherwise), (b) any prepayment or other payment of the principal of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last

day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (whether pursuant to Section 2.1(e) or otherwise), (c) any other prepayment of a Loan that is (x) required pursuant to Section 2.1(e) or (y) not made in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Borrowers to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under this Credit Agreement, that such prepayment will be made. Any such payments shall be made by the Required Payment Time.

4.6

Requests for Compensation.

(a)

If requested by the Borrowers in connection with any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4 (other than Section 4.1), a Lender shall provide to the Borrowers, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount required to be paid by the Borrowers to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount, such certificate to be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. Any such amount payable by the Borrowers shall not be duplicative of any amounts (a) previously paid under this Section 4, or (b) included in the calculation of the Eurocurrency Rate.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4 (other than Section 4.1), (i) no Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 4 (other than Section 4.1), for any costs incurred or reductions suffered by such Lender (or its holding company) because of a Change in Law unless at such time such Lender (or its holding company) is acting in a similar manner with respect to its similarly-situated borrowers (it being understood that such claims between similarly situated borrowers may be different after consideration of facility pricing, structure, usage patterns, capital treatment and banking relationship).

4.7

Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 5.

SECURITY

5.1

Liens and Security Interest.

(a)

Collateral. Subject to the terms of the applicable Collateral Documents and without prejudice to Section 3.8, to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations hereunder, (a) each of the Feeder Funds and their respective General Partners shall enter into the Feeder Fund Documents, (b) each of the Intermediate Entities and, where applicable, their respective General Partners shall enter into a Security Agreement, and (c) each of the Credit Parties shall enter into the Security Agreements, the related financing statements and other related documents.

(b)

Reliance. The Borrowers agree (and shall cause the other Fund Parties pursuant to the Feeder Fund Documents and the applicable Security Agreement to agree) that the Administrative Agent and each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer have entered into this Credit Agreement, extended credit hereunder and at the time of each Loan, or each issuance of a Letter of Credit, will make such Loan or issue such Letter of Credit in reasonable reliance on the obligations of the Investors to fund their respective Unfunded Capital Commitments and accordingly during the continuance of an Event of Default (but subject to Section 10.5), such Unfunded Capital Commitments may be enforced in the name of the applicable Borrowers, Intermediate Entities and the Feeder Funds by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, pursuant to the terms of

the Loan Documents in accordance with the relevant Constituent Documents, Subscription Agreements and Side Letters, directly against the Investors without further action by any Fund Party and notwithstanding any compromise of any such Unfunded Capital Commitment by any Fund Party, as applicable, after the Closing Date as provided in 6 Del. C. §17-502(b)(1).

(c)

Collateral/Collateral Documents. The security agreements, assignments, collateral assignments and any other documents and instruments from time to time executed and delivered pursuant to this Credit Agreement to grant a security interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Security Agreements, the Collateral Account Pledges, the Control Agreement, and any documents or instruments amending or supplementing the same, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral Documents”.

5.2

Collateral Accounts; Investor Capital Calls.

(a)

Collateral Accounts.

(i)

Prior to the Closing Date, each Borrower (to the extent that it is a Fund and receives Investor Capital Contributions directly from Investors) shall, and shall enforce its rights as direct or indirect beneficiary and assignee of the rights of the Feeder Funds and Intermediate Entities pursuant to the Feeder Fund Documents, the Intermediate Entity Documents and the Security Agreements (such right, collectively, the “Assigned Rights”) to require that such Feeder Funds and Intermediate Entities, establish, one or more Collateral Accounts, as applicable, and require that all Investor Capital Contributions are directed into the applicable Collateral Account of the applicable Fund Party by the applicable Investors (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that (i) the Fund Parties may maintain other accounts into which, subject to compliance with Section 9.11, Investor Capital Contributions may be transferred from the Collateral Accounts and (ii) such other accounts will not constitute Collateral and will not be subject to the control of the Administrative Agent or any other restrictions under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents). Each Collateral Account shall be a deposit account or a securities account (as defined in the UCC or substantial equivalent under foreign law) established with an Eligible Institution, as deposit bank or securities intermediary, in the name of the applicable Fund Party into which financial assets may be credited and as to which such Eligible Institution, as deposit bank or securities intermediary, undertakes to treat the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise such deposit account or financial assets in accordance with the terms of the Control Agreement. If such deposit bank or securities intermediary ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the applicable Fund Party will have thirty (30) Business Days following notice from the Administrative Agent to move the Collateral Accounts to another Eligible Institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders. If the deposit bank or securities intermediary terminates the Control Agreement, the applicable Fund Party shall open new accounts that are subject to a Control Agreement with a replacement deposit bank or securities intermediary, which is an Eligible Institution, within thirty (30) Business Days of such termination.

(ii)

The Borrowers shall cause each applicable Collateral Account to be subject at all times, subject to the first two sentences of the immediately preceding clause (i), to a Control Agreement pursuant to which the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to assume exclusive control thereof upon notice to that effect to the applicable Eligible Institution; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not deliver any such notice unless a Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing. Each

Collateral Account shall continue to be held in the name of the applicable Fund Party after the Administrative Agent has assumed exclusive control thereof. All monies, instruments, investment property or other property credited to the Collateral Accounts pursuant to this Credit Agreement and all other property credited to the Collateral Accounts constitute part of the Collateral (including all cash and Permitted Investments) (other than Excluded Proceeds) and shall be applied in the manner set forth herein. The applicable Borrower may direct the institution that holds a Collateral Account to invest the funds in such accounts solely in Permitted Investments, and the Fund Parties may withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts only in compliance with Section 9.11 (it being understood and agreed that withdrawals from other accounts will not be restricted).

(b)

No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that no Secured Party (i) undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to the Investor Capital Calls issued by any Fund, (ii) shall be required (except in connection with a Secured Party making Investor Capital Calls) to refer to the Constituent Documents of any Fund Party, or a Subscription Agreement, or take any other action with respect to any other matter that might arise in connection with the Constituent Documents of any Fund Party, a Subscription Agreement, any Investor Capital Call, (iii) shall have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of any Fund Party or any of the Investors, and (iv) shall have any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Investor Capital Call by any Fund Party or the investment or use of the proceeds thereof.

(c)

Investor Capital Calls; Investor Capital Calls by the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower will (and will enforce its Assigned Rights to require the applicable Feeder Funds and Intermediate Entities, to) issue Investor Capital Calls at such times as are necessary in order to ensure the timely payment of the Obligations hereunder. For purposes of repaying the Obligations (subject to Section 10.5 in all respects), the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Secured Parties, acting through the Administrative Agent, to charge from time to time the Collateral Accounts of the Borrowers for amounts not paid by any Borrower when due to the Secured Parties (after the passage of any applicable grace period) (excluding any amounts therein which are not part of the Collateral); provided that promptly after any disbursement of funds from any such account to the Secured Parties, as contemplated in this Section 5.2(c), the Administrative Agent shall deliver a written notice of such disbursement to the Borrowers. Subject to Section 10.2 and Section 10.5 in all respects, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized, in the name of the Secured Parties or the name of any Fund Party or by way of enforcement of the Collateral or part thereof, at any time or from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default, solely for the purpose of repaying the Obligations and, to the extent relevant, in accordance with the applicable Constituent Documents and the Assigned Rights, to:(i) initiate one or more Investor Capital Calls in order to pay the Obligations then due and owing; (ii) take or bring in any Fund Party’s name, or that of the Secured Parties, all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of payments of the Unfunded Capital Commitments; (iii) complete any contract or agreement of any Fund Party in any way related to payment of any of the Unfunded Capital Commitments; (iv) make allowances or adjustments related to any of the Unfunded Capital Commitments; (v) compromise any claims related to any of the Unfunded Capital Commitments; (vi) issue credit in its own name or the name of any Fund Party with respect to Unfunded Capital Commitments; or (vii) exercise any other right, privilege, power, or remedy provided to any Fund Party under any Constituent Documents or Subscription Agreement with respect to Unfunded Capital Commitments. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, neither the

Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Investor Capital Calls, the Unfunded Capital Commitments, or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and Liens relating to the Unfunded Capital Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers notice of actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) concurrently with, or promptly after, the taking of such action, but its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action, nor shall such failure give rise to defenses to the Borrowers’ respective obligations hereunder.

(d)

Additional Action by the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 10.2 and Section 10.5 in all respects, during the existence of an Event of Default, issuance by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any Investor Capital Contribution with respect to the Unfunded Capital Commitments for the purposes of repaying the Obligations shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance of such Person to the extent of any amount so paid to the Collateral Accounts for the benefit of the Secured Parties, so long as such amounts shall not be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any insolvency law, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine. Subject to Section 10.5 in all respects, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the Assigned Rights, is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default, on behalf of the Borrowers and each other Fund Party to endorse the name of each such Fund Party upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or items, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon an Investor Capital Contribution of any Person to any Fund Party coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. Subject to Section 10.5 in all respects, during the existence of an Event of Default, solely for the purpose of repaying the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby and pursuant to the Assigned Rights granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to (i) carry out any and all actions listed in Section 5.2(c)(i)-(vii), including, but not limited to, the initiation of Capital Calls of the Uncalled Capital Commitments via a Capital Call Notice using the power of attorney provided in the Security Agreements to deliver Pre-executed Capital Call Notices (for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent available, the Administrative Agent shall use any Pre-executed Capital Call Notice prior to issuing a Capital Call directly, in each case, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents); and (ii) execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of any Fund Party, either before or after demand of payment of the Obligations, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent for the purposes of repaying the Obligations or to protect the first priority security interests and Liens in the Unfunded Capital Commitments and neither the Administrative Agent nor the other Secured Parties, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney.

The application by the Secured Parties of such funds shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 3.4. The parties hereto acknowledge that all funds so transferred into the Collateral Accounts shall be the property of the applicable Fund Party subject to the first priority security interest of the Administrative Agent therein (subject only to Permitted Liens).

(e)

No Representations. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be deemed to make at any time any representation or warranty as to the validity of any Investor Capital Call nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties be accountable for any Fund Party’s use of the proceeds of any Investor Capital Contribution.

(f)

Except in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement or the Constituent Documents of the Funds, during the existence of any Event of Default, the Funds shall not, without the prior written consent of either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (which may, in each case, be withheld in their sole discretion): (i) cancel, reduce, excuse, or xxxxx the contributions received, or which shall be received, from the Investors; or (ii) relieve, excuse or delay the Investors from the making of, or postpone, compromise or xxxxx, any such contribution; it being acknowledged and agreed that (except as specified in this Section 5.3(f)) each Fund may at any time and from time to time by agreement between the such Fund and its Investors (without the need for agreement or other actions by any other Person) increase, decrease (but not to less than zero) or otherwise change the amount of the Capital Commitments to such Fund of its Investors without limitation under this Credit Agreement, any Security Agreement, or other Loan Documents.

(g)

Except with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or as otherwise contemplated herein, no Fund Party shall sell, mortgage, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise encumber its interest in the Collateral, or any portion thereof.

5.3

Lender Offset. In addition to the rights granted to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under Section 5.2, each Borrower hereby grants to each Secured Party a right of offset to secure the repayment of the aggregate Obligations when due to the Secured Parties (solely after the passage of any applicable grace period and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement), upon any and all monies, securities, or other property of such Borrower and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to the Secured Parties, from or for the account of such Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) and credits of such Borrower and any and all claims of such Borrower and, against the Secured Parties at any time existing. Subject in all respects to Section 10.5, the Secured Parties are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default, without notice to any Credit Party, to offset, appropriate, apply, and enforce such right of offset against any and all items referred to above against the Obligations. Each Borrower shall be deemed directly indebted to the Secured Parties in the full amount of the aggregate Obligations, and the Secured Parties shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above. The rights of the Secured Parties under this Section 5.3 are subject to Section 10.5 and Section 12.2. The Administrative Agent, and the Secured Parties, as applicable, shall give the Borrowers prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.3, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of the Borrowers with respect to such action.
