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 by the Required Payment Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any excess calculated pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit, the Borrowers may Cash Collateralize such excess with the Administrative Agent in lieu of prepaying Loans, when required pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.1(e), as security for such portion of the Obligations.

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 under the Primary Tranche funded by it would not exceed such Xxxxxx’s Commitment~~; and (b~~ under the Primary Tranche; (b) such Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share of the Principal Obligations under the Temporary Increase Tranche funded by it would not exceed such Xxxxxx’s Commitment under the Temporary Increase Tranche; and (c) 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 with respect to the applicable Tranche (but subject to Section 2.3(f) and Section 2.16). 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 telephone, facsimile or electronic mail of the date of each requested Borrowing hereunder, which notice if by telephone shall be confirmed in writing (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) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than

11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to an Alternate Base Rate Loan; and (iii) must specify: (A) the amount of such Borrowing; (B) the Interest Option; (C) the Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Loans, if applicable; (D) the currency as Dollars; and (E) 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) in respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan or 11:00 a.m. in respect of an Alternate Base Rate Loan 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 Sections 6.1 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement), 6.2, and if applicable, 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 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 Sections 6.1 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement), 6.2, and if applicable, 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 applicable Lender under the applicable Tranche 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.

(e) Xxxxxx’s Commitment. Each applicable Lender shall make such Loan in accordance with its Lender Pro Rata Share with respect to the applicable Tranche (but subject to Section 2.3(f) and Section 2.16). 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 plus such Xxxxxx’s Lender Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability 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 under the applicable Tranche 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) [Reserved.]

(h) 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 LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower(s) shall give the Administrative Agent notice by telephone, facsimile or electronic mail, which notice if by telephone shall be confirmed in writing, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the “Rollover Notice”) whether it desires to renew such LIBOR Rate Loan. 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 LIBOR Rate Loan, such Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have elected to renew such Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month commencing on the expiration of the preceding Interest Period.

(i) Conversions. The Borrower(s) shall have the right, with respect to: (i) any Alternate Base Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “LIBOR Rate Conversion Date”), to convert such Alternate Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan; and (ii) any LIBOR Rate Loan, on any Business Day (an “Alternate Base Rate Conversion Date”) to convert such LIBOR Rate 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 telephone, facsimile or electronic mail, which notice if by telephone shall be confirmed in writing, 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 LIBOR Rate Conversion Date, or (y) 11:00 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.

(j) Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans may be outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Commitment Period.

(k) Administrative Agent Notification of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender with respect to the applicable Tranche (and will use good faith efforts to make such notification on the day such notice is timely received from the applicable Borrower(s)) 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. 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 2.8(e).

2.5 Funding. Subject to the fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in Section 6 of this Credit Agreement, (a) by no later than 2:00 p.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, 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 borrowing 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 borrowing 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 borrowing date 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 LIBOR Rate Loans, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period and (ii) with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans, the Alternate Base Rate in effect from day to day. At any time, each Loan shall have only one Interest Period and, where applicable, one Interest Option.

(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 (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan and each Alternate Base Rate Loan (other than when the Alternate Base Rate is calculated based off of the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and (ii) each Alternate Base Rate Loan, only when the Alternate Base Rate is calculated based off the Prime Rate, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. 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), then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) above) 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.

2.7 Determination of Rate and Billing. The Administrative Agent shall calculate each interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Rate Loans and Alternate Base Rate 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 Letters of Credit.

(a) Letter of Credit Commitment.

(b) Request. Each request for a Letter of Credit (a “Request for Letter of Credit”) shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), together with a Letter of Credit Application and a Borrowing Base Certificate, for the Letter of Credit Issuer, on or before 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit.

A certificate of the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 applicable Borrower(s) and shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

(d) Participation by the Lenders.

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; 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 in each case absent manifest error. 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 2.8(e) 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 Sections 2.1(b), 6.1, 6.2 and/or 6.3, as applicable, be honored in accordance with this Section 2.8(e) 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.

(f) 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 or any other comments thereto, the Borrowers will immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer. 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.

(g) 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 the 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’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it 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 2.8(e). 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.

(h) 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 outstanding Letter of Credit Liability 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 and cancel (or require any beneficiary to cancel) any previously issued Letter of Credit. Unless otherwise required by 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.

(i) Cash Collateral. (A) If, as of the Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (B) the occurrence of any other circumstances under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents requiring the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall promptly Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or, in the case of sub-clause (B) above, 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 Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral subject to the terms of this clause (i) 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 2.8(i) shall be in currencies of the related Letters of Credit. All such Cash Collateral shall (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent) be funded by the proceeds of Investor Capital Calls, and not from any other source. Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by Administrative Agent to the reimbursement of 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 that are then due and payable. 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 the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this clause (i) 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 the Cash Collateral Account as security in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability.

(j) Lenders’ Obligations. In the event any Letter of Credit Liability is Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.8(i) 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 2.8 shall cease in all respects, the Lenders will no longer be entitled to receive their Lender Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee payable in accordance with Section 2.15 (which shall be payable exclusively to the Letter of Credit Issuer), and the Lenders shall cease to be obligated to fund 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).

(k) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no fronting exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.9 Addition of Qualified Borrowers, Payment of the Borrower Guaranty, and Qualified Borrower Letter of Credit Note.

(a) An entity shall be approved as a “Qualified Borrower” hereunder if (i) the 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 formed or organized, as applicable, in a jurisdiction in which any applicable Lender cannot make Loans or the Letter of Credit Issuer cannot issue Letters of Credit or (y) such entity fails to comply with “Know Your Customer”, OFAC 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 the Primary Borrower owns a direct or indirect ownership interest, or through which the Primary Borrower may acquire an investment, the indebtedness of which entity can be guaranteed by the Primary Borrower pursuant to the terms of its Constituent Documents; and (iii) the provisions of this Section 2.9 and Section 6.3 shall have been satisfied.

(b) Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of subsection (a) above, 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 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 the Primary Borrower for the payment of such Qualified Borrower’s Obligations.

(d) In the event that any Qualified Borrower has not previously done so, it 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 the 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 Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and to accept Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the 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 the Primary Borrower under a Borrower Guaranty, as a Borrowing hereunder by the 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), (b) or (c)). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the 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 the 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 2.9(f)). Upon request of such withdrawing Qualified Borrower, the Administrative Agent will return or destroy any Qualified Borrower Note issued by such Qualified Borrower. Notwithstanding any withdrawal by a Qualified Borrower, such Qualified Borrower (and the Primary Borrower pursuant to the applicable Borrower Guaranty) shall remain liable for any amounts due to the Secured Parties pursuant to Sections 4 and 12.5 of this Credit Agreement from such Qualified Borrower, which provisions shall survive any withdrawal by a Qualified Borrower and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

(g) The Obligations of each Qualified Borrower in connection with each Letter of Credit issued to such Qualified Borrower hereunder shall be evidenced by a letter of credit note substantially in the form of Exhibit Q attached hereto (the “Qualified Borrower Letter of Credit Note”), the payment of which is guaranteed by a Primary Borrower pursuant to a Borrower Guaranty, as such note may be amended, restated, reissued, extended or modified. Each Qualified Borrower shall execute and deliver a Qualified Borrower Letter of Credit Note payable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the related Letter of Credit Issuer(s) (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith). Each Qualified Xxxxxxxx agrees, from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to issue a new Qualified Borrower Letter of Credit Note previously issued by such Qualified Borrower to the Administrative Agent, and such previously issued Note shall be returned to such Qualified Borrower marked “replaced”.

2.10 Use of Proceeds and Borrower Guaranties.

(a) The proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit 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 Letters of Credit 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 or Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, any Rollover, any Conversion 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.

(b) In each Request for Borrowing and Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Borrower shall identify the use of proceeds for the related Loan or Letter of Credit, and if such Borrower intends to use such proceeds to acquire an asset from, extend a loan to, or purchase an equity interest in, any Person, then such Borrower in the related Request for Borrowing shall also provide the Administrative Agent with the full legal name of the Person selling such asset or issuing such equity interest or the Person to whom such loan is extended. Each Borrower agrees to respond promptly to any reasonable requests for information related to its use of Loan or 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 use the proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit hereunder to purchase securities or investments from any Lender or any Affiliate thereof.

2.11 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 applicable Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its ratable share of the Commitments under the applicable Tranche, an aggregate unused

commitment fee on the daily amount of the Maximum Commitment which was unused (through the extension of Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit) (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 (10^th) calendar day of each calendar month (or the next succeeding Business Day, if such day is not a Business Day) for the preceding calendar month. For purposes of this Section 2.11, 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.

2.12 Structuring Fee. The Primary Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to HSBC, as Lender, the Structuring Fee, as provided in the Fee Letter.

2.13 Extension of Maturity Date.The Borrowers shall have two (2) options to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect, in each case, for an additional term of no longer than 364 days, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a) (x) the Administrative Agent and the extending Lenders shall have consented in their sole discretion to such Extension Request, and (y) the Administrative Agent, the extending Lenders and the Borrowers shall have agreed to such other terms and conditions in connection with such Extension Request as may be requested by the Administrative Agent and/or such extending Lenders in their sole discretion, including the amount of any fee for such extension;

(b) the Borrowers shall have paid the amount of any extension fee that has been agreed to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders;

(c) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (d) or on the initial Stated Maturity Date;

(d) 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

(e) 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) or such shorter time period as the Administrative Agent shall agree.

2.14 Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a) Request for Increase. Subject to compliance with the terms of this Section ~~2.14~~,2.14 and to the extent the Maximum Commitment is less than $650,000,000 at such time, the Borrowers may increase the Maximum Commitment to an amount not to exceed $650,000,000, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, such written consent to be given in its sole and absolute discretion (it being understood that any such increase up to an amount not to exceed $200,000,000 shall be provided by HSBC, as Lender). Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, in $10,000,000 increments or such lesser amount remaining to increase the Maximum Commitment to $200,000,000, or such lesser 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 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.

(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) 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);

(iv) 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, 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;

(v) the Borrowers have fully complied with the delivery requirements under Section 6.1(l)(iii)-(iv) hereof with respect to the Investors listed on Exhibit A hereto as of the Closing Date; and

(vi) on or prior to the proposed date of such Facility Increase, the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Fee.

2.16 Temporary Increase Tranche.

(a) Temporary Increase Borrowings. At any time prior to the Scheduled Reduction Date, to the extent that (i) the Principal Obligations equal or exceed the Commitments under the Primary Tranche and (ii) the aggregate Principal Obligations do not exceed the Available Commitment and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein, any Loan requested by a Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3(a) shall be funded as a Temporary Increase Loan. Temporary Increase Loans shall be Loans and part of the Obligations in all respects, other than with respect to the Lenders’ funding obligations and ratable participations with respect thereto as set forth in this Section 2.16. Temporary Increase Loans will be secured by the Collateral in the same manner and to the same extent as all other Loans and will be pari passu with all other Loans in all respects. Provided that all applicable conditions precedent for a Loan in Sections 2.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied, the Temporary Increase Lenders will exclusively fund pro rata

based on their respective Temporary Increase Commitments, at any time and from time to time, Temporary Increase Loans requested by a Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3(a); provided that, after giving effect to such Temporary Increase Loan, the aggregate Temporary Increase Loans would not exceed the aggregate Temporary Increase Commitments. No Lender other than the Temporary Increase Lenders will have any right or duty to fund Temporary Increase Loans. As a result of such exclusive participation in the Temporary Increase Tranche, the Principal Obligations may from time to time prior to the Scheduled Reduction Date be allocated amongst the Lenders in proportions other than their pro rata share of the aggregate Commitments.

(b) Scheduled Reduction Date. The unpaid principal amount of the Obligations with respect to Temporary Increase Loans that are outstanding on the Scheduled Reduction Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Scheduled Reduction Date and the Maximum Commitment shall automatically decrease by the aggregate amount of the Temporary Increase Commitments without any further action by any party hereto.

(c) Temporary Increase Loan Repayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all repayments of Principal Obligations and payments of interest, fees and other amounts from the Borrowers shall, unless the Borrowers otherwise direct in their sole discretion, be applied (A) first, to Temporary Increase Loans until such Temporary Increase Loans are reduced to zero and (B) second, to Loans other than Temporary Increase Loans (and the Administrative Agent shall in turn apply such repayments and payments in accordance with such direction from the Borrowers). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time when there are Obligations outstanding related to any Temporary Increase Loans, all payments made by a Borrower on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, to the Lenders in accordance with their pro rata share of aggregate Principal Obligations at the time of such repayment (i.e., ratably between Temporary Increase Loans or Loans other than Temporary Increase Loans based on amounts due without regard to the pro rata share of the Maximum Commitment of each Lender).

(d) Temporary Increase Loans Generally. Except as otherwise stated in this Section 2.16, Temporary Increase Loans shall be subject to all applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement with respect to Loans generally to the extent applicable, other than pricing, as set forth in the Fee Letters.

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 and even if such Borrowing is held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement. 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 and the Letter of Credit Issuer, 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 LIBOR Rate Loan, if the applicable Lender can consolidate such Loan with an existing LIBOR 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 or the Letter of Credit Issuer 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), (b) or (c), as applicable, related to the payments of such amounts, within the limits of the Available Commitment, disburse to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, 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 12:00 p.m. (New York time), on the due date therefor in federal or other immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at account number at HSBC Bank USA, National Association, ABA No., account name “Loan Agency”, reference “Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Renewable Power Operating Company LLC” or any other account of the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers. Funds received after 12:00 p.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 next following receipt of such funds. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 3.4, each applicable 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 with respect to the applicable Tranche. 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 1:00 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 next 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 the 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~~Subject to Section 2.16, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made on the Obligations

shall be credited as directed by the Borrowers. AtSubject to Section 2.16, 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 of 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. two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars and (ii) 11:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess 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 or Rollover or Request for Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrowers may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Maximum Commitment (including by reducing the Temporary Increase Commitments), by giving prior 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) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrowers in such notice), (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 (including by a reduction of the Temporary Increase Commitments), upon prepayment of the amount, if any, by which the Principal Obligations exceed the reduced Available Commitment or, if applicable, the Principal Obligations of the Temporary Increase Tranche exceed the reduced Temporary Increase Commitments, in either case, resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5; provided that, (a) the Maximum Commitment may not be terminated or reduced such that,

the Available Commitment would be less than the aggregate stated amount of outstanding Letters of Credit; and (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 Investor Capital Calls only, unless agreed otherwise by the Administrative Agent) for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.8(i), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived. Unless otherwise required by law, as soon as practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days, after the full and final payment of the Letter of Credit Liability, or the termination of all outstanding Letter of Credit Liability due to the expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit prior to draws thereon, the Administrative Agent shall return to the applicable Borrowers any amounts remaining in any Cash Collateral Account; provided that, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the extent individual Letters of Credit expire, the Administrative Agent will return to the applicable Borrowers the corresponding amount of the expired Letter of Credit Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment (including by a reduction of the Temporary Increase Commitments) shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (2) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrowers reduce the Maximum Commitment (including by a reduction of the Temporary Increase Commitments) to less than $50,000,000 (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 with respect to each Tranche so reduced.

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.

Section 4. TAXES; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1 Taxes.

(a) 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 the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax

is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable 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.

(b) 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.

(c) 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.

(d) Tax Indemnification by the Lenders. Without prejudice to, or duplication of, Section 11.7, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 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 Lender’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(d) .

(e) 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.

(f) Prescribed Forms. (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 applicable Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Laws or reasonably requested by a Borrower 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, or to comply with any such requirement. 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 Section 4.1(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in such 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,

(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 request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9, or applicable successor form, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(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 W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or applicable successor

form, 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 W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or applicable successor form, 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, or applicable successor form;

(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 N-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 such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower as 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 W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or applicable successor form; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, or applicable successor form, 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 N-2 or Exhibit N-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 N-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 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 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 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), then such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx 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(f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.

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

(g) 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, 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 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.

(h) 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.

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

(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any 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, Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans or the Obligations or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate to be Loans calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Alternate Base Rate is also calculated off the LIBOR Rate in accordance with the definition thereof), shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. 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. IfOther than with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, if the Administrative Agent determines, for any proposed Interest Period, that: (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of any LIBOR Rate Loan; or (b) ~~adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate; or (c~~) the LIBOR Rate does not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, then: (a) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and the Borrowers; and (b) while such circumstances exist, none of the Lenders shall allocate any Loans made during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any then-existing Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference

to the LIBOR Rate. If, with respect to any outstanding Interest Period, a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Loans or that the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, then: (i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders; and (ii) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist, the applicable Lender shall not make any LIBOR Rate Loans during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided that, (x) if the forgoing notice relates to Loans that are outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, such Loans shall be Converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, and (y) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any outstanding Requests for Borrowing.

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 later of (1) the Closing Date and (2) the date that is sixty (60) days prior to 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 Affected Party 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 of the Affected Parties in respect of or in connection with this Credit Agreement (other than Taxes);

(ii) subjects any Affected Party 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 an Affected Party’s rate of return in respect of this Credit Agreement on such Affected Party’s capital to a level below that which such Affected Party would have achieved but for the occurrences set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 4.4 herein;

(iv) affects or would affect the amount of the capital required to be maintained by such Affected Party; or

(v) causes an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Affected Party, which in the sole discretion of such

Affected Party is allocable to the Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to impose a cost on, or increase the cost to, any Affected Party of its commitment under any Loan Document or of purchasing, maintaining or funding any interest acquired under any Loan Document, then, upon written demand, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Affected Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such new or increased cost.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Xxxxxx, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Xxxxxx’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’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 or Letter of Credit Issuer, 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 or such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Party (x) setting forth with reasonable supporting detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party as specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.4 and (y) with respect to any Lender that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, such other information or support reasonably requested by the Borrower shall be delivered to the 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 Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be,, 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 or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender

or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section 4.4 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of such Xxxxxx’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’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 and 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 the Credit Agreement (whether pursuant to Section 2.3 or otherwise), (b) any prepayment or other payment of the principal of a LIBOR 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 the Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Borrowers to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under the 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 or Letter of Credit Issuer 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 or Letter of Credit Issuer and the computations made by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer 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 LIBOR.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4 (other than Section 4.1), (i) no Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer 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 Letter of Credit Issuer (or its holding company) because of a Change in Law unless at such time such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (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 Letters of Credit and the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.7 shall not apply with respect to amounts payable under Section 4.1.

4.8 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers so long as (x) the Borrowers have consented to such amendment in writing and (y) the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment and the Borrowers consent to such amendment. No replacement of the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.8 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make 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 Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement other than the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that, if the Borrowers have not provided their approval or denial in writing prior to 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th ) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers in accordance with clause (a) above, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given their consent to the amendment and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(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 or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or

5.2 Required Accounts; Investor Capital Calls.

(a) Required Accounts.

(i) The Guarantor shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish, one or more Collateral Accounts, as applicable, and shall direct all Investor Capital Contributions received by the Guarantor into such Collateral Accounts (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that (i) subject to compliance with Section 9.12, the Credit Parties may maintain other accounts into which 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 Guarantor 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 Guarantor will have thirty (30) 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 Guarantor 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) days of such termination.

(ii) The Guarantor shall cause each Collateral Account to be subject at all times 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 Guarantor 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 Guarantor may direct the institution that holds a Collateral Account to invest the funds in such accounts solely in Permitted Investments, and the Credit Parties may withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts only in compliance with Section 9.12 (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 Credit Party, (ii) shall be required (except in connection with a Secured Party making Investor Capital Calls) to refer to the Constituent Documents of any Credit 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 Credit 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 Credit 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 Credit Party or the investment or use of the proceeds thereof.

(c) Investor Capital Calls; Investor Capital Calls by the Administrative Agent. The Guarantor will 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 and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Secured Parties, acting through the Administrative Agent, to charge from time to time the Collateral Accounts, for amounts not paid by any Borrower or the Guarantor when due to the Secured Parties (after the passage of any applicable grace period provided in Section 10.1 and Section 3.3(c)) (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 the Guarantor 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, to: (i) initiate one or more Investor Capital Calls in order to pay the Obligations then due and owing; (ii) take or bring in Guarantor’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 Guarantor 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 Guarantor; or (vii) exercise any other right, privilege, power, or remedy provided to Guarantor 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 and the Guarantor 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’ or Guarantor’s 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 one or more pledges, is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default, on behalf of the Primary Borrower and each other Credit Party to endorse the name of the Primary Borrower or each such Credit 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 Credit 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 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); and (ii) execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of any Credit 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, reasonably exercised, 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 Guarantor subject to the first priority security interest of the Administrative Agent therein (subject 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 Borrower 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 Guarantor, during the existence of any Event of Default, the Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which may be withheld in its sole discretion: (i) cancel, reduce, excuse, or xxxxx the contributions received, or which shall be received, from the Investors without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which may be withheld in its sole discretion; 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 clause (f)) the Guarantor may at any time and from time to time by agreement between the Guarantor and the 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 (as defined in the Constituent Document) to the Guarantor of the Investors without limitation under this Agreement, the Security Agreement, or other Loan Documents.

(g) Except with the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders or as otherwise contemplated herein, the Guarantor shall not sell, mortgage, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise encumber its interest in the Collateral, or any portion thereof.

It is hereby acknowledged that the Guarantor debits the brokerage accounts of certain PWM Investors held at Xxxxxxx Xxxxx to satisfy such PWM Investor’s obligation to fund Investor Capital Contributions. In connection with such process, a PWM Investor may be required to fund the necessary amount to its brokerage account at Xxxxxxx Sachs via a series of wires (including by initially funding to an aggregating deposit account in the name of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx for such purpose). The Guarantor agrees that it will ensure that such Investor Capital Contribution amounts are then credited to the applicable Collateral Accounts of such PWM Investors when called in accordance with the terms of the Constituent Documents and the terms hereof.

5.3 Lender Offset. In addition to the rights granted to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under Section 5.2, each Borrower and the Guarantor 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 or Guarantor, 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 or Guarantor, as applicable, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) and credits of such Borrower or Guarantor and any and all claims of such Borrower or Guarantor, 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 prior notice to any Borrower or the Guarantor, to offset, appropriate, apply, and enforce such right of offset against any and all items referred to above against the Obligations. Each Borrower or the Guarantor 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 Sections 10.5 and 12.2. The Administrative Agent, and the Secured Parties, as applicable, shall give the Borrowers or Guarantor 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 or Guarantor with respect to such action.

5.4 Agreement to Deliver Additional Collateral Documents. The Credit Parties shall deliver such security agreements, financing statements, assignments, notices and acknowledgments, and other collateral documents (all of which shall be deemed part of the Collateral Documents), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Secured Parties may reasonably request from time to time for the purpose of granting to, or maintaining or perfecting in favor of the Secured Parties, first priority (but subject to Permitted Liens) security interests in the Collateral with respect to which the Guarantor is granting a security interest to the Administrative Agent, together with other assurances of the enforceability and first priority of the Secured Parties’ Liens and assurances of due recording and documentation of the Collateral Documents and financing statements, assignments, notices and acknowledgements or copies thereof, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the first priority Liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted pursuant to this Section 5.

5.5 Subordination. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Credit Party shall make any payments or advances of any kind, directly or indirectly, on any debts and liabilities to any other Credit Party whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct, indirect, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and howsoever evidenced or created (collectively, the “Other Claims”); provided, however, that a Credit Party may make payment to the Investment Manager and its respective Affiliates for any accrued management fees, incentive fees or other similar fees or compensation due and owing pursuant to the applicable Constituent Document so long as (a) such fees are paid from monies or sums not constituting any part of the Collateral and (b) neither the Investment Manager nor its Affiliates are in default with respect to their obligations to fund Investor Capital Contributions. All Other Claims, together with all liens, security interests, and all other encumbrances or charges on assets securing the payment of all or any portion of the Other Claims shall at all times during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default be subordinated to and inferior in right and in payment to the Obligations and all liens, security interests, and all other encumbrances or charges on assets securing all or any portion of the Obligations, and each Credit Party agrees to take such actions as are necessary to provide for such subordination between it and any other Credit Party, inter se, including but not limited to including provisions for such subordination in the documents evidencing the Other Claims.

7.1 Organization and Good Standing. Each Credit Party (a) is duly organized, duly incorporated or duly established and registered, as applicable, (b) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation (as applicable), (c) has (together with any other Credit Party) the requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and (d) is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or the property owned or leased requires such qualification except where the failure to be so qualified to do business would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.2 Authorization and Power. Each Credit Party (a) has the organizational power and requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform its respective obligations under each Loan Document to be executed by it, (b) is duly authorized to, and has taken all organizational action necessary to authorize it to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under each Loan Document to be executed by it, and (c) is and will continue to be duly authorized to perform its obligations under each Loan Document to be executed by it.

7.3 No Conflicts or Consents. None of the execution and delivery of each Loan Document to be executed by each Credit Party, the consummation of any of the transactions therein contemplated, or the compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, will contravene or conflict, in any material respect, with (a) any provision of law, statute or regulation to which such Credit Party is subject, (b) any judgment, license, order or permit applicable to such Credit Party, (c) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which such Credit Party is a party, by which such Credit Party may be bound, or to which such Credit Party may be subject, or (d) its Constituent Documents, in each case, except where such contravention or conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery by any Credit Party of any Loan Document to be executed by it or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby other than any consent, approval, authorization or order which has been obtained, except where any failure to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or order would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.4 Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Document to which each Credit Party is a party is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws and general equitable principles (whether considered a proceeding in equity or at law).

7.5 Priority of Liens. Subject to compliance with Section 8.13, the Collateral Documents to which it is a party create, as security for the Obligations, valid and enforceable security interests in and Liens on all of the Collateral in which each Credit Party has any right, title or interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens or Liens granted in favor of other Credit Parties which are ultimately in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the Loan Documents, except as enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such security interests in and Liens on the Collateral in which each Credit Party has any right, title or interest shall be, upon filing of the Filings, and taking of such actions as are contemplated by this Credit Agreement and other Collateral Documents, perfected security interests that have priority over security interests of all third parties in such Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), and, other than in connection with any future Change in Law or in such Credit Party’s name, identity or structure, or its jurisdiction of organization, as the case may be, no further Filings are or will be required in connection with the creation or perfection of such security interests and Liens, other than the filing of continuation statements, or their equivalent in accordance with Applicable Laws.

7.6 Financial Condition. The financial statements and reports required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof (except for the absence of footnotes in quarterly financial statements or as otherwise disclosed therein) present in all material respects such Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s financial position in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Credit Parties, taken as a whole, are Solvent.

7.7 Full Disclosure. All written information (other than projections and other forward-looking statements and information of general industry or economic nature) heretofore furnished by any Credit Party in connection with this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby that has been prepared by a Credit Party or its Affiliates does not contain, and all such information hereafter furnished will not contain, in each case to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of a Credit Party and when taken as a whole, any untrue statement of a material fact on the date as of which such information is stated or deemed stated.

7.8 No Default. Except as has been disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or a Default.

(“Proceedings”) pending, or to the actual knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Borrower threatened, against any Credit Party, other than any such Proceeding that is disclosed in writing by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent before the Closing Date, and (ii) for purposes of this representation and warranty as of the date of the advance of any Borrowing after the Closing Date, there are no such Proceedings pending, or to the actual knowledge of any Responsible Officer of such Xxxxxxxx threatened, against any Credit Party, other than any such Proceeding that is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.10 Material Adverse Effect. No changes to any Credit Party have occurred since the date of the most recent financial statements of such Credit Party delivered to the Administrative Agent, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7.11 Taxes. All U.S. federal income and other material tax returns, information statements and reports required to be filed by any Credit Party in any jurisdiction have been timely filed and all U.S. federal income and other material Taxes owed by such Credit Party have been timely paid, unless such Taxes are being contested in good faith and adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

7.12 ERISA. Assuming no source of funds used to make the Loans constitutes Plan Assets unless such use of Plan Assets is covered by a prohibited transaction exemption, all the conditions of which are satisfied, the execution, delivery and performance of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the borrowing and repayment of amounts under this Credit Agreement, do not and will not constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A) - (D) of the Internal Revenue Code. None of the Borrowers’ nor the Guarantor’s assets constitute Plan Assets. No Borrower nor Guarantor maintains or has any liability to a Plan. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Borrower nor the Guarantor has any liability to an ERISA Affiliate Plan.

7.13 Compliance with Law. Each Credit Party, to such Credit Party’s knowledge, is in compliance in all respects with all Laws which are applicable to it or its properties except where non-compliance would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrowers’ properties (but for clarification excluding any properties relating solely to any Portfolio Investment or Portfolio Investment Vehicles) are in compliance with all

Environmental Laws and related licenses and permits except where non-compliance would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No conditions exist at, on or under any real property now owned or leased by the Borrowers or, to the actual knowledge of any Responsible Officer of any Borrower, existed at, on or under any real property previously owned or leased by the Borrowers at the last date so owned or leased that, in either case, could give rise to liability under any Environmental Law that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.15 Investor Information; Investor Capital Commitments and Contributions. The names of all of the Investors (excluding PWM Investors which shall be listed by number) are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (or on a revised Exhibit A delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 8.1, 8.2 or 9.5(a)), and the Investor Capital Commitment of each Investor (including PWM Investors) is set forth on Exhibit A (or on any such revised Exhibit A). Notice of each Investor who is a SOX Insider is set forth on Exhibit A. Exhibit A, as it may be updated in writing from time to time by the Borrowers or the Guarantor, is true and correct in all material respects. Since the Closing Date, no Investor Capital Calls have been delivered to any Investors other than any that have been disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent as and to the extent required by Section 8.1. The Governing Documents, Subscription Agreement (and any related Side Letter) sets forth each Investor’s entire agreement regarding its Investor Capital Commitment. As of the Closing Date, (i) the aggregate amount of the Investor Capital Commitments of all Investors (including PWM Investors) is set forth on Exhibit A hereto and (ii) the aggregate Unfunded Capital Commitment of all Investors (including PWM Investors) that could be subject to an Investor Capital Call is set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

The Guarantor has, to the actual knowledge of its respective Responsible Officers, (i) satisfied all applicable conditions precedent, if any, to the issuance of Investor Capital Calls under its Constituent Documents, and (ii) no law, rule, regulation, order or agreement otherwise imposes any material limitation, delay or restriction on the ability of the Guarantor to issue Investor Capital Calls.

7.16 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Primary Borrower is the calendar year.

7.17 Principal Office; Jurisdiction of Formation; Organizational Structure.

No Borrower nor any Person acting on behalf of a Borrower has taken or will take any action which could reasonably be expected to cause any Loan Document to violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect. No Loan will be secured at any time by, and the Collateral in which the Guarantor has granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, a security interest and Lien pursuant to the Collateral Documents will not contain at any time any Margin Stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each borrowing, not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the assets (either of any Borrower individually or of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between such Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness will be Margin Stock.

7.19 Investment Company Act. No Credit Party is registered or required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

7.20 No Defenses. No Responsible Officer of a Credit Party has actual knowledge of (a) any default or circumstance which with the passage of time and/or giving of notice would constitute an event of default by such Credit Party under its Constituent Documents or any Subscription Agreement which would constitute a defense to the obligations of any Investor to make Investor Capital Contributions to the Guarantor in accordance with its Subscription Agreement or the Governing Documents and (b) any claims of offset or any other claims of any Investor against the Guarantor which would or could materially and adversely affect the obligations of such Investor to make Investor Capital Contributions and fund Investor Capital Calls in accordance with its Subscription Agreement (and any related Side Letters), or the Governing Documents, other than, in each case, that which has been disclosed in writing by the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent.

To the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of each Credit Party (after having made all reasonable investigation), no Investor’s funds have been used to violate, or were derived from violations of, any applicable anti-bribery law, including but not limited to, the UK Bribery Act and the FCPA. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments that could constitute a violation of any applicable anti-bribery law, including but not limited to, the UK Bribery Act and the FCPA.

(c) No Investor, or Affiliate thereof, is, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the applicable Credit Party (after having made all reasonable investigation), a Sanctioned Person. To the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of each Credit Party (after having made all reasonable investigation), no Investor’s funds used in connection with this transaction are derived from illegal or suspicious activities in violation of applicable anti-money laundering Laws.

8.2 Transfers by Existing Investors.

(a) If the Guarantor receives any request for the Transfer by an Investor of all or a portion of its interest in the Guarantor, the Guarantor shall be entitled to permit such transfer in its discretion, so long as immediately after giving effect to such Transfer no mandatory prepayment would be required pursuant to Section 2.1(e); provided that (x) the Borrowers will provide the Administrative Agent with notice of any such transfer (A) if the applicable transferring Investor is an Institutional Investor, promptly after the consummation thereof, and (B) if the applicable transferring Investor is a PWM Investor (other than any SOX Insider or a full-time employee of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx), together with the Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 8.1(b) and the Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 8.1(i) with respect to transfers in the calendar quarter then ended, together with a copy of such Investor’s Subscription Agreement or assignment agreement and any applicable Side Letter (redacted as applicable) entered into with such Person and (y) all Transfers shall be subject to each Credit Party being KYC Compliant as determined by the Administrative Agent.

(b) If the transferring Investor is an Included Investor and is being released from its obligations to make Investor Capital Contributions with respect to its Unfunded Capital Commitment, the Borrowers shall, prior to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, calculate whether any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e) will result from such Transfer (due to the transferee Investor not being designated as an Included Investor or otherwise) and, if such a mandatory prepayment would be required (calculated after giving effect to such Transfer), the Borrowers shall (i) provide the Administrative Agent with at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of such Transfer and provide to the Administrative Agent such information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to help the Administrative Agent determine if the transferee will qualify as an Included Investor (provided that such information is available to the Guarantor and is not otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions between the Guarantor and such Investor or the transferee) and (ii) either: (x) prior to the effective date of such Transfer, pay to the Lenders the amount, if any, of such mandatory prepayment (for the avoidance of doubt, any such prepayment shall not be subject to Section 3.5, but shall be subject to Section 4.5) or (y) prior to the effective date of such Transfer, receive the approval of the transferee as an Included Investor from the Administrative Agent so that no mandatory prepayment will be required in connection with the Transfer. Any such determination shall be governed by the standards and requirements set forth in the definition of “Included Investor”. If the Borrowers are unable to deliver sufficient information to the Administrative Agent to enable the Administrative Agent to determine whether such transferee Investor satisfies the requirements of an Included Investor prior to such effective date, then such transferee Investor shall be deemed not to have satisfied such requirements until such time as the Administrative Agent can make such determination;

provided that, any transferee Institutional Investor that is otherwise in compliance with the definition of “Included Investor” (as represented by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in the applicable notice of such transfer) shall be deemed an Included Investor with the applicable advance rate and Concentration Limit of an Included Investor that is a PWM Investor unless and until such time as the Administrative Agent makes the foregoing determination (it being understood that (a) the Administrative Agent will not be able to make such determination until the Borrowers have delivered a copy of such Institutional Investor’s Subscription Agreement or assignment agreement, any applicable Side Letter (redacted as applicable) entered into with such Person, and a revised Exhibit A, and (b) if the Borrowers do not provide the documentation described in the preceding clause (a) to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such transfer, such Institutional Investor shall become an Excluded Investor from and after such thirtieth (30th) day until the Administrative Agent receives such documentation and is able to determine if such Institutional Investor satisfies the requirements of an Included Investor).

(c) With respect to any transferee Investor which is an existing Included Investor, the amount of the resulting increase in such transferee Investor’s Unfunded Capital Commitment shall not be included in the Borrowing Base until such transferee Investor has delivered to the Guarantor written confirmation of its obligations under its Subscription Agreement (and any applicable Side Letter) with respect to its Unfunded Capital Commitment, as increased by such Transfer.

9.1 Mergers, Etc. Other than in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, none of the Credit Parties shall take any action to merge or consolidate with or into any Person, unless such Credit Party or another Credit Party is the surviving entity.

103

9.2 Negative Pledge. None of the Credit Parties shall grant, create, incur, permit or suffer to exist any Lien (whether such interest is based on common law, statute, other law or contract) upon the Collateral, other than (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties or (ii) Permitted Liens.

9.3 Fiscal Year and Accounting Method. Neither the Primary Borrower nor the Guarantor shall change its fiscal year without prior notice to the Administrative Agent or change its method of accounting other than in accordance with the terms of the Governing Documents (so long as such method is based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).

(a) Except as hereinafter provided, no Credit Party shall alter, amend, modify, terminate, or change any provision of the Governing Documents, any Subscription Agreements, certificate of formation or Investment Management Agreement to which such Credit Party is a party if any such Proposed Amendment (hereinafter defined) would (i) affect the Guarantor’s or its Investors’ debts, duties, obligations, and liabilities, or the rights, titles, security interests, Liens, powers and privileges of the Guarantor, in any case, relating to any Investor Capital Calls, Investor Capital Commitments, Investor Capital Contributions or the shortening of the time period during which they are available, or, except as permitted by this Credit Agreement, suspend, reduce or terminate any Investor’s Unfunded Capital Commitment or that could otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on the rights, titles, first priority security interests and Liens, and powers and privileges of the Lenders hereunder; or (ii) permit or allow any Credit Party to purchase Portfolio Assets or otherwise make investments, or engage in any line of business, that are materially different from the Portfolio Assets or lines of business permitted by such Credit Party’s Constituent Documents as in effect on the Closing Date (each a “Material Amendment”). With respect to any proposed alteration, amendment, modification, termination or change (each, a “Proposed Amendment”) to the Governing Documents, Subscription Agreement, certificate of formation of any Credit Party or Investment Management Agreement, such Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of such proposal. The Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole reasonable discretion (i.e., the determination of the other Lenders shall not be required) and on its good faith belief, whether such Proposed Amendment to the Governing Documents, Subscription Agreement or certificate of formation of such Credit Party or Investment Management Agreement would constitute a Material Amendment within five (5) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification in accordance with Section 12.6 and shall promptly notify the applicable Credit Party of its determination. If the Administrative Agent determines that the Proposed Amendment is a Material Amendment, the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders will be required, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request for such approval, distributing, as appropriate, the Proposed Amendment and any other relevant information provided by such Credit Party; subject to Section

104

12.1, the Lenders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent to deliver their approval or denial thereof. If the Administrative Agent determines that the Proposed Amendment is not a Material Amendment, the applicable Credit Party may make such amendment without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. With respect to any Material Amendment to the private placement memorandum of any Credit Party, such Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent within five (5) business Days of such proposal; provided that no such notice shall be required for any supplement to a private placement memorandum that does not pertain to the Collateral, an IPO or the Secured Parties’ rights therein, as may be determined by the Credit Parties in their reasonable discretion. Such Material Amendment shall not be effective without the approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) but shall not require the approval of any other Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Credit Party may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, amend its applicable Constituent Documents: (w) to extend the investment period or the structuring of the investments, including as primary investments, co-investments, direct investments or secondary investments, (x) to admit new Investors or remove Investors in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement; (y) to reflect transfers of interests in such Credit Party which are permitted by this Credit Agreement; and (z) to implement any action permitted under Section 9.6; provided that such Credit Party shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent a copy of any such amendment which does not require the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

(b) The Guarantor shall use good faith efforts to provide the Administrative Agent with at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of any amendment or modification of any Side Letter. In the event that the Lender is unable to approve such amendment or modification and a mandatory prepayment would be required pursuant to Section 2.1(e) as a result of such amendment or modification, the Borrowers shall make such mandatory prepayment prior to the effectiveness of such amendment or modification. Thereafter, upon the request of the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall consider for approval the applicable Side Letter, as amended or modified, in accordance with the standards set forth in the definition of “Included Investor” and in the event the Administrative Agent approves such Side Letter, as amended or modified, any Exclusion Event which resulted from such amendment or modification shall be deemed to be cured.

9.5 Admission of Investors; Transfers of Affiliate Interests; Investor Withdrawals.

(a) Admission of New Investors. The Guarantor shall not admit any Person that is an assignee of an interest in the Guarantor as a substitute Investor or any other Person as a new Investor unless such Person is not listed on any list published by OFAC as a Person with whom dealings are prohibited under OFAC Regulations, not a Sanctioned Person and not listed on any comparable list and admission is in accordance with the terms of the Governing Documents, Subscription Agreement and any Side Letter. Any such new Investor or existing transferee Investor shall not be included in the Borrowing Base or shall not have the increased portion of its Investor Capital Commitment included in the Borrowing Base, (w) in the case of any PWM Investor who

105

is an Included Investor that seeks to be replaced by a new or existing PWM Investor or seeks to Transfer a portion of its Investor Capital Commitment to a new or existing PWM Investor, until the Borrowers or the Guarantor have delivered a copy of such Investor’s Subscription Agreement or assignment agreement to Escrow Agent and the Escrow Agent has certified its receipt thereof to the Administrative Agent, except in compliance with Section 8.2(d) (including the thirty (30) day deemed automatic inclusion as an Included Investor), (x) in the case of any assignee Institutional Investor, except in compliance with Section 8.2(b), in the case of any PWM Investor (other than under the circumstances addressed in the foregoing clause (w)), until the Borrowers or the Guarantor have delivered a copy of such Investor’s Subscription Agreement or assignment agreement to the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Agent has certified its receipt thereof to the Administrative Agent, (y) in the case of any new Institutional Investor (other than under the circumstances addressed in the foregoing clause (x)) until the Borrowers or the Guarantor have delivered a copy of such Institutional Investor’s Subscription Agreement or assignment agreement, any applicable Side Letter (redacted as applicable) entered into with such Person and, a revised Exhibit A to the Administrative Agent, and (z) in the case of any Investor that is an existing Included Investor increasing its Investor Capital Commitment, until the Borrowers or the Guarantor have delivered a copy of the written confirmation received from such Investor described in Section 8.2(c) to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Other Transfers of Unfunded Capital Commitments. The Guarantor shall not cause Investor Capital Contributions to be made to any other Affiliate of the Guarantor that is not the Guarantor hereunder or directly to any Portfolio Investment, unless such Affiliate has executed documentation to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent providing a first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such transferred Investor Capital Commitments ultimately to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

9.6 Capital Commitments. None of the Credit Parties shall permit any withdrawal, termination, reduction, suspension, excuse, formal waiver or other cancellation with respect to an obligation of any Investor (other than the SOX Insiders) under its Subscription Agreement or the Governing Documents or any Side Letter without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders which may be withheld in their reasonable discretion, unless the Investor Capital Commitment and other obligations of such Investor are assumed by another Investor in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the applicable Constituent Document. Prior to giving effect to any termination, suspension, cancellation, reduction, excuse or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.6, or any withdrawal or transfer pursuant to this Section 9.6 (other than a Transfer by an Investor of all or a portion of its interest in the Guarantor, which (for the avoidance of doubt) the parties acknowledge is governed by Section 8.2 rather than this Section 9.6), the Available Commitment will be calculated, and if such action would result in a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e), such prepayment shall be made prior to the effectiveness of such withdrawal, termination, suspension, transfer, cancellation, reduction, excuse or waiver.

106

9.7 ERISA Compliance. None of the Credit Parties shall establish, maintain or have any liability to any Plan. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Credit Parties shall have any liability to any ERISA Affiliate Plan. No Credit Party shall fail to satisfy an exception under the Plan Asset Regulations which failure causes the assets of any such Credit Party to be deemed Plan Assets.

9.8 Dissolution. Other than in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of all Lenders (in their sole discretion), none of the Credit Parties shall take any action to terminate or dissolve any Credit Party.

9.9 [Reserved.]

9.10 Limitations on Distributions. None of the Credit Parties shall make, pay or declare any Distribution (as defined below) at any time (i) except as permitted pursuant to its Constituent Documents and (ii) subject to Section 5.5 hereof, other than with respect to Distributions from any Credit Party to any other Credit Party, during the existence of an Event of Default or at any time during, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of such Person or the Administrative Agent (provided that to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of any such event it will provide prompt notice thereof to the applicable Person, provided further that the giving of such notice by the Administrative Agent or the failure to give such notice, will not affect such Person’s obligations under this section), a Default. “Distribution” means any dividend or distributions (whether or not in cash) on account of any shares of capital stock or other equity interest in a Credit Party, including as a dividend or other distribution and on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of any such shares of capital stock or other equity interest (it being acknowledged that, subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the Investment Manager and any Affiliates exercising control over any Credit Party, shall be entitled to receive any fees payable to it pursuant to the Constituent Documents).

9.11 Limitations on Indebtedness. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, none of the Credit Parties shall incur any Indebtedness other than:

(i) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Credit Agreement;

(ii) Indebtedness under Swap Agreements, provided that, in each case, such Indebtedness, is not secured by any Collateral; and

(iii) Indebtedness permitted under any Governing Document.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.11 does not restrict the incurrence of Indebtedness of any Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party.

9.12 Limitation on Withdrawals. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, none of the Credit Parties shall make or cause the making of any withdrawal or transfer of funds constituting Collateral from any Collateral Account if the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrowers and the Guarantor or a Responsible Officer of a Borrower or the Guarantor has actual knowledge that a Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing or if a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e) is due

107

and owing unless such withdrawal shall be applied to any payment of Obligations or to eliminate or reduce the circumstances giving rise to the Cash Control Event or mandatory prepayment (or in the case of a pending mandatory prepayment, applied to Anticipated Expenses, in compliance with this Credit Agreement). The Administrative Agent is authorized to give notice of its exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts to the depository bank or securities intermediary, only if a Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing.

9.13 Transfers by Credit Parties. Other than in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, none of the Credit Parties shall transfer, withdraw or assign its interest in any other Credit Party or its obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

9.14 Deemed Capital Contributions. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Lenders, the Primary Borrower or the Guarantor shall not reinvest Portfolio Investment proceeds which are distributable to Investors if such reinvestment would reduce the Unfunded Capital Commitment of one or more Investors and cause the Principal Obligations to exceed the Available Commitment unless, prior to such reinvestment, the applicable Borrowers shall make any prepayment required under Section 2.1(e).

9.15 Change of Depository Bank or Securities Intermediary. The Guarantor shall not permit the depository bank or securities intermediary with respect to any Collateral Account to change without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that any successor depository bank or securities intermediary shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent simultaneous with becoming the successor depository bank such documents and agreements (including, without limitation, control agreements and acknowledgments and agreements to provide information to the Administrative Agent with respect to Investors) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request).

9.16 Sanctioned Persons, Anti-Bribery. No Credit Party shall use directly or indirectly (including without limitation, by lending, contributing or otherwise making available to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person) any part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder (i) to fund any operations in, finance any investments, business or activities in or make any payments to any Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country, or in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including, without limitation, any Person participating in the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise) or (ii) for any payments that could constitute a violation of any applicable anti-bribery law in effect at the time of the funding or issuance of such Loan or Letter of Credit.

10.5 Curing an Event of Default by Investor Capital Call and Duty to Liquidate Portfolio Investments.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(a), (b) or (c) or any other Event of Default that can be cured by the making of Investor Capital Calls, so long as no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, none of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may exercise any remedy to which it may be otherwise entitled under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity with respect to such Event of Default within five (5) Business Days thereof (provided that the Borrowers or the Guarantor may request during such five (5) Business Day period that the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders provide written notice of their (i) agreement to a longer Business Day period or (ii) intention not to exercise such remedies, each in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, and which such written notice shall not be unreasonably withheld; or unless, without such request, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, to a longer Business Day period, each in its sole discretion) and, if, at any time prior to or during such five (5) Business Day period, the Guarantor shall make an Investor Capital Call on the Unfunded Capital Commitments of the Investors sufficient (together with cash and Permitted Investments on deposit in the Collateral Accounts) to cure each such Event of Default, then the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may not exercise any such remedy until the expiration of the period ending fifteen (15) Business Days from the end of the initial five (5) Business Day period, provided that nothing in this Section 10.5(a) shall prohibit the Administrative Agent or any Lender from exercising any remedies it may have with respect to (i) asserting exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts or taking any such actions as may be required to protect their rights in a bankruptcy proceeding or (ii) any Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing other than those described in Section 10.1(a), (b) or (c) or any other Event of Default that can be cured by the making of Investor Capital Calls; provided, however, that to the extent that (A) the Guarantor does not make such Investor Capital Call or (B) the application of the proceeds of any such Investor Capital Call are not sufficient (together with cash and Permitted Investments on deposit in the Collateral Accounts) to cure such Event of Default, then, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Guarantor shall (1) if it did not originally issue an Investor Capital Call, issue an Investor Capital Call in an amount sufficient (together with cash and Permitted Investments on deposit in the

116

Collateral Accounts) to repay the Obligations, and (2) after thirty (30) days have expired after the applicable Investor Capital Call has been issued the proceeds of which are not sufficient (together with cash and Permitted Investments on deposit in the Collateral Accounts) to repay the Obligations, in good faith use its commercially reasonable efforts (subject to any legal, contractual, fiduciary or regulatory restrictions limiting their ability to do so) to sell sufficient Portfolio Investments to repay the Obligations as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, so long as no Event of Default of the type specified in any of clause (c), (j), (k) or (q) of Section 10.1 has occurred, none of Administrative Agent, or any Lender shall (i) issue funding notices to any Investor or take any action against any Investor to enforce its rights under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (ii) issue the Administrative Agent Release notice (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) or (iii) institute legal, equitable or other proceedings against any Credit Party, any Investor, or any Affiliate thereof the purpose of which is to prevent the Borrowers or the Guarantor from curing the applicable Event of Default (by issuing funding notices or otherwise) as contemplated by this Section 10.5(b), unless at any time prior to or during the period that is five (5) Business Days following the occurrence of such Event of Default (provided that the Borrowers may request during such five (5) Business Day period that the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders provide written notice of their (i) agreement to a longer Business Day period or (ii) intention not to exercise such remedies, each in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, and which such written notice shall not be unreasonably withheld; or unless, without such request, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, to a longer Business Day period, each in its sole discretion), either (A) the Guarantor shall not have made an Investor Capital Call on the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreements and this Credit Agreement, sufficient, together with cash and Permitted Investments on deposit in the Collateral Accounts, to repay the outstanding Obligations in full (a “Full Repayment Capital Call”), or (B) the Guarantor shall have made a Full Repayment Capital Call, but the Borrowers shall not have repaid all the outstanding Obligations on or prior to the expiration of the period ending fifteen (15) Business Days from the end of the initial five (5) Business Days period.

(c) In the event that the Administrative Agent elects to notify the Investors to make Investor Capital Contributions in respect of their Unfunded Capital Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof, then the Administrative Agent shall use best efforts not to request any individual Investor to fund an amount exceeding such Investor’s pro rata share of the Obligations (based on the proportion of such Investor’s Unfunded Capital Commitment to the aggregate Unfunded Capital Commitments of all Investors included in the Collateral other than defaulted Investors in accordance with the Guarantor’s Governing Documents) without first making best efforts (consistent with the terms of the Constituent Documents, this Credit Agreement and Applicable Law and to the extent it can do so without incurring any material cost or expense) to issue an Investor Capital Call (which may be issued by the Guarantor or the Administrative Agent) to each Investor for its pro rata share of the Obligations and waiting thirty (30) calendar days

117

following such Investor Capital Call prior to initiating further remedies; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Guarantor has made an Investor Capital Call pursuant to Section 10.5(a) or 10.5(b) already with respect to the related Event of Default and fifteen (15) Business Days have elapsed since such Investor Capital Call, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations pursuant to this Section 10.5(c) in all respects.

(d) None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be entitled to take any action against any Investor that is an ERISA Investor (other than (i) issuing funding notices in the name of the Guarantor or (ii) applying funds paid by such ERISA Investor or Plan into the Collateral Accounts (which shall remain in the name of the Guarantor) to the payment of the Obligations), under Section 9.1.2 of the Borrower Limited Liability Company Agreement, Section 9.1.2 of the Guarantor Limited Liability Company Agreement or Part D(3) of the Subscription Agreement, as applicable, to the extent it has knowledge that a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) could arise therefrom.

10.6 Events of Default or Defaults relating to Qualified Borrowers. Notwithstanding any provision in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, if an Event of Default or Default relating solely to a Qualified Borrower shall occur, upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have not been asserted) of such Qualified Borrower hereunder, (1) such Event of Default or Default shall be deemed to be cured and (2) such Qualified Borrower shall no longer have the ability to borrow hereunder and shall be withdrawn as a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9(f).

Section 11. AGENCY PROVISIONS

11.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

(a) Authority. Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) (collectively with such Lender, a “Lender Party”) hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable

118

Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and no Credit Party or Affiliate thereof (each, a “Borrower Party”) or Investor or Affiliate thereof shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except as provided in Section 11.9 (regarding the Credit Parties’ consent right set forth in the first sentence thereof) or Section 11.10) .

(b) Release of Collateral. The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, to release, discharge and reassign any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent: (i) upon termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit that have not been Cash Collateralized and payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent reimbursements and indemnification obligations not then due), including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) pursuant to any express provision of this Credit Agreement; and (iii) if approved by the Lenders, pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.1(b).

(c) Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrowers or the Guarantor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

11.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by such Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender Party for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, nor shall it be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 11 shall apply to any such sub-agent of such Agent.

11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. In each case in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, no Agent nor any of its affiliates, nor

119

any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact (each such person, an “Agent-Related Person”), shall be liable to any Lender Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number of percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary), or, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.2 or 12.1 as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary or be responsible in any manner to any Lender Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for therein, or received by such Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Borrower Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly provided for hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the no Agent-Related Person shall be required to take any action that, in its reasonable opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent-Related Person to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. No Agent-Related Person shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Agent-Related Person in any capacity. No Agent-Related Person shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent-Related Person shall incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of such Agent-Related Person (including, but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility). No Agent-Related Person shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Credit Party or a Lender. In each case in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, no Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender Party for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower Party in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Agent-Related Person to the

120

Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties to the Agent-Related Person or any Lender Party or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties. The Agents are not trustees for the Lenders and owe no fiduciary duty or other implied duty to the Lenders, regardless of whether a Default has occurred or is continuing. No Agent-Related Person shall be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under the Credit Agreement. Each Lender Party recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Sections 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) have been satisfied and, when the Administrative Agent disburses funds to any Borrower or the Letter of Credit Issuer causes Letters of Credit to be issued or accepts any Qualified Borrower Guaranties, the Administrative Agent may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by a Borrower Party.

11.4 Reliance on Communications. In each case in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, email, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Borrower Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents with reasonable care). Each Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 12.11(d). Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all of the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).

11.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than a payment default under Section 10.1(a)) hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders and as is permitted by the Loan Documents.

121

11.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

11.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify, upon demand, each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with the applicable Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or related to another Lender; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights

122

The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower Parties or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them other than notice actually received with respect to a Default or Event of Default. With respect to the Loans made and the Letters of Credit issued and all obligations owing to it, an Agent acting in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

11.9 Successor Agent. Any Agent may, at any time, resign upon twenty (20) days written notice to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower Parties, provided, however, that except (a) in the case of a merger by the Administrative Agent with another financial institution (even if the Administrative Agent is not the surviving entity), (b) in the event that such resignation is required for regulatory reasons as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, or (c) during the continuance of an Event of Default, any resignation by the Administrative Agent shall require the prior written consent of the Credit Parties, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Credit Parties’ sole discretion, and the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall require the prior written approval of the Credit Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Required Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the applicable Agent, then the retiring Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Credit Parties, a successor Agent from any of the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent xxxxxxxxx, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and shall assume the duties and obligations of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless

123

thereupon become effective and the applicable Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the applicable Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.9 to the contrary, any Agent may subcontract certain of its duties hereunder to a third party so long as the applicable Agent remains primarily liable for the performance of its applicable obligations hereunder. Any resignation by HSBC as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.9 shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents after giving effect to clause (c) below, and (c) as a condition to becoming the Letter of Credit Issuer, the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

11.10 Reliance by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall be entitled to rely upon, and to act or refrain from acting on the basis of, any notice, statement, certificate, waiver or other document or instrument delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Credit Parties, so long as the Administrative Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and the Credit Parties shall not be responsible or liable to any Lender (or to any Participant or to any Assignee), or as a result of any action or failure to act (including actions or omissions which would otherwise constitute defaults hereunder) which is based upon such reliance upon the Administrative Agent. The Credit Parties shall be entitled to treat the Administrative Agent as the properly authorized Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement until the Credit Parties shall have received notice of resignation, and the Credit Parties shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Administrative Agent until the Credit Parties shall have received written notification satisfactory to them of the appointment of such successor.

11.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Principal Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

124

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendment, waiver, termination or modification in respect of the Temporary Increase Tranche shall require only the consent of the Administrative Agent and each applicable Temporary Increase Lender.

12.4 Waiver.

No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved.

129

directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact); (y) any settlements related to the Credit Agreement or transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); or (z) disputes among two or more Indemnitees; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, actions, judgments, suits, disbursements, penalties, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) result from a claim brought by each Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) is recourse for amounts owing from Investor Capital Commitments that are uncollectible or uncollected due to the bankruptcy, insolvency or financial inability of the Investor to pay shall be excluded from the indemnifications provided for in this Section 12.5 or (z) with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(d) WITHOUT LIMITATION OF AND SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, EACH BORROWER INTENDS AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNITEE WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF COUNSEL) WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH OR ANY OTHER INDEMNITEE OR ANY STRICT LIABILITY OR CLAIMS OF STRICT LIABILITY.

(e) The provisions of this Section 12.5 shall survive termination of this Credit Agreement, and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the Commitment Period, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Obligations, the occurrence of the Maturity Date, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents or the Lenders.

If any provision of this Credit Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Credit Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Credit Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Credit Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Credit Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein. If

134

any provision of this Credit Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Credit Agreement shall prevail.

12.10 Entirety. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

12.11 Parties Bound; Assignment.

(a) Parties Bound. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that, except as expressly permitted hereby, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its respective rights under this Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders.

(b) Participations. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and, other than during the continuance of an Event of Default or in the case of participation to an Affiliate of a Lender, the Borrowers (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may (subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.11) at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) a participating interest in its Commitment or any or all of its Principal Obligations. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce and exercise any rights and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the Obligations including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement. The voting rights of each Participant shall be limited to (i) reductions or increases in the amount, or altering the term, of the Commitment of such Participant and (ii) changes to the Maturity Date or interest rate. The Credit Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4 and Section 5.3 with respect to its participating interest, to the extent that such Participant complies with the requirements of such Sections (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.1(f) shall be delivered to the granting Lender), as if it were a Lender; provided (i) that in no event shall any Borrower be obligated to pay to such Participant amounts greater than those such Borrower would have been required to pay to the granting Lender in the absence of such participation, except to the extent that such obligation to pay such greater amounts results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquires the applicable participation, and (ii) it shall be reasonable for the Borrowers to decline consent to a participation to a Lender which does not agree to waive its rights under Section 5.3 of this Credit Agreement. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Credit Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest which is permitted in accordance

135

with this subsection (b). Each Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a Participant shall, as agent of the Credit Parties solely for the purpose of this Section 12.11(b), record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participating interests (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitment, loan, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Assignments by Xxxxxxx. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, other than (x) during the continuance of an Event of Default or (y) in the case of an assignment to an existing Lender, or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender that is an Eligible Institution, the Borrowers (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may (at its expense) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all (in a constant, not varying, percentage), of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; provided that:

(i) this Section 12.11(d) shall not restrict an assignment or other transfer by any Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder;

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, or the assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, any assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000 unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent, and, other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers;

(iii) the assignee shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent any documentation required pursuant to Section 4.1(f);

(iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and pay to the transferor Lender an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, and the transferor Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent; and

136

(v) notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.11 to the contrary, it shall be reasonable for the Borrowers to decline consent to an assignment to a Lender which does not agree to waive its rights under Section 5.3 of this Credit Agreement.

(e) Consequences of Assignment by Xxxxxxx. Upon execution and delivery of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall become party to this Credit Agreement as a Lender and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.

(f) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (d) of this Section 12.11 and, in addition:

(i) the consent of the Borrowers shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender that is an Eligible Institution;

(ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender; and

(iii) the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(g) Limitations on Assignments and Participations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.11 to the contrary, (i) each Participant and each Assignee must be a Qualified Purchaser and (ii) prior to an Event of Default, at no time shall there be more than two (2) Lenders and Participants in the aggregate without the consent of the Borrowers in their sole discretion.

137

address of each Lender’s agent for service of process in New York (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by any Borrower or any Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. A Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be effective upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent upon request. Upon receipt of any Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or Lender Joinder Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or Lender Joinder Agreement has been completed, fully-executed and is in the form of Exhibit G or Exhibit O, as applicable, attached hereto: (i) accept such an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or Lender Joinder Agreement; (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.

(i) Addition of Lenders. In accordance with Section 2.14, at the request of the Borrowers, a new lender may join the Credit Facility as a Lender by delivering a Lender Joinder Agreement to the Administrative Agent, and such new Lender shall assume all rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that:

(i) the Commitment of the new Lender shall be in addition to the Commitment of the existing Lenders in effect on the date of such new Lender’s entry into the Credit Facility and the Maximum Commitment shall be increased in a corresponding amount in accordance with Section 2.14; and

(ii) the parties shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Joinder Agreement, the Borrowers shall execute such new Notes as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may request, and the new Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent, which amount the Administrative Agent may waive in its sole discretion.

(k) Lender Representation. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is (and its Participants, if any, will be) a Qualified Purchaser.

12.12 Lender Removal/Replacement.

(a) If for any reason any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent, the

138

Lenders, or the Borrowers at law or in equity, such Xxxxxx’s right to vote on matters related to this Credit Agreement, and to participate in the administration of the Loans and this Credit Agreement, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. The Borrowers may, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, Defaulting Lender, with respect to (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) a Lender who does not consent to an amendment or waiver under Section 12.1 or that does not consent to an extension of the Stated Maturity Date under Section 2.13(a), or (z) a Secured Party requesting compensation or indemnification under Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5 or Section 4.6, as the case may be, require such Defaulting Lender, non-consenting Lender or Secured Party to (i) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.11), all its interests, rights and obligations as a Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (ii) resign from its obligations as Lender or Secured Party under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents and the Borrowers may reduce the Maximum Commitment by an amount equal to such Lender or Secured Party’s Commitment on a non-pro-rata basis; provided that (x) the assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans funded by it, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all accrued and unpaid fees to which such Lender is entitled and all other Obligations payable to such Lender hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other Obligations) and (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a demand for compensation or indemnification under Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Any such assignment shall be made upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice delivered by the Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent. The Defaulting Lender required to assign pursuant to this Section 12.12 shall have no duty to procure an assignee.Subject to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation to acquire at par all of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including its Lender Pro Rata Share (immediately prior to becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the Obligations under this Credit Agreement. In the event that the Administrative Agent does not exercise its right to so acquire all of such Xxxxxx’s interests, then each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender (a “Current Party”) shall then, thereupon, have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire at par (or if more than one Current Party exercises such right, each Current Party shall have the right to acquire, pro rata, at par) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including its Lender Pro Rata Share (immediately prior to becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the outstanding Obligations under this Credit Agreement.

12.13 Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by any Borrower with respect to any Obligation exceed the Maximum Rate.

12.14 Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement.

139

12.15 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein shall survive delivery of the Notes, the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.

The Portfolio Investments shall not be included in the Collateral.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.19 Multiple Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Credit Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart thereof.

12.20 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower acknowledges, 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 the Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by each Borrower that each Borrower desires that the Notes 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 Loans, the Letters of Credit and the other Obligations constitute the joint and several obligations of each and every Borrower, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans and the other Obligations against any one or more of the Borrowers.

(c) Separate Exercise of Remedies. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may exercise remedies against any 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 any Borrower’s obligations without enforcing any other Borrower’s obligations. Any failure or inability of the Administrative Agent to enforce any Borrower’s obligations shall not in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of any other Borrower. 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.

142

Section 13. GUARANTY

13.1 Guaranty of Payment. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for each Secured Party and their respective permitted successors and assigns the prompt payment of the Obligations of the Primary Borrower and each Qualified Borrower listed on Schedule I hereto (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time) under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Guaranty Obligations”) in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) (such guaranty by the Guarantor, the “Guaranty”). This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all of the Guaranty Obligations of such Borrowers whenever arising until such Obligations have been paid in full. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of the Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (including, without limitation, Debtor Relief Laws).

143

13.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than to the extent that the Obligations have been paid and performed in full (other than any contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made)). The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by any Secured Party without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or Collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents or any Collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranty Obligations or otherwise and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Lender to make demand on or proceed against any Borrower Party or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the Administrative Agent or the Lender to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent any Secured Party from suing on the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or Lien on any Collateral, if any, securing the Guaranty Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder unless the Obligations shall be paid in full with the proceeds of such security or Collateral; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Credit Party or by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or analogous procedure of any Credit Party. The Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension accrual or increase of any of the Guaranty Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party on this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty. The Guaranty Obligations, and any part of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty. All dealings between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.

The Guarantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that its obligation hereunder shall not be released or discharged by any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them (other than payment in full of the Guaranty Obligations (except for contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations)): (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranty Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment

144

of the Guaranty Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including without limitation provisions relating to Events of Default) of this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Guaranty Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Guaranty Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranty Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranty Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Collateral (other than as a result of any action or inaction on the part of the Administrative Agent or any lender that is within such Person’s reasonable control), (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrowers may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent in respect of the Guaranty Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury (other than a defense of payment or performance in full of the Obligations), and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor as obligors in respect of the Guaranty Obligations.

13.3 Modifications. The Guarantor agrees that: (a) all or any part of the Collateral now or hereafter held for the Guaranty Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) neither the Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Guaranty Obligations (provided that any action or inaction on the part of any Secured Party that is within its reasonable control that adversely affects any such security interest, Lien or encumbrance shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder); (c) the time or place of payment of the Guaranty Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) the Qualified Borrowers, the Guarantor and any other party liable for payment under the Loan Documents may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, this Credit Agreement may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of the Qualified Borrowers, the Guarantor or any other party liable for the payment of the Guaranty Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranty Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release(other than to the extent that the Obligations have been paid and performed in full (other than any contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made)).

13.4 Waiver of Rights. Until the Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification Obligations and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made), the Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Guaranty by the Lender and of all extensions of credit to any Credit Party by the Lender; (b) presentment and demand for payment or

145

performance of any of the Guaranty Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Credit Agreement) with respect to the Guaranty Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Lender obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranty Obligations, or the Lender subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or encumbrances, if any; (e) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Guaranty Obligations to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor, to (A) proceed against the applicable Borrowers, any guarantor of the Guaranty Obligations or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from the applicable Borrowers, any guarantor of the Guaranty Obligations or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the applicable Borrower including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranty Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the applicable Borrower from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranty Obligations; (h) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranty Obligations (other than any action or inaction that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct or a material breach of the Administrative Agent’s obligations under this Credit Agreement); (j) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement (other than a defense of payment and performance in full of the Obligations (other than any contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made)).

13.5 Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower in respect of the Guaranty Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Secured Party, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization, any analogous procedure or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the attorneys’ reasonable and documented fees of such Person’s one designated law firm and, to the extent applicable, one law firm in each

146

relevant foreign jurisdiction) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

13.6 Remedies. The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Guaranty Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Obligation from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligation being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligation (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

13.7 Subrogation. The Guarantor agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Guaranty Obligations in full in cash (other than any contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made), it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation, indemnification, contribution, offset, remedy (direct or indirect) or other claims against any other Credit Party arising by contract or operation of law or equity in connection with any payment made or required to be made by the Guarantor under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter. The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification the Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party or against any Collateral or other collateral or security, and any rights of contribution the Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent may have against such Credit Party and to all right, title and interest the Administrative Agent may have in any such other collateral until payment of the Obligations in full (other than any contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made).

13.8 Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by the Guarantor that the Guarantor desires that the Guaranty Obligations of the Guarantor under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Guarantor, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

13.9 Several Liability. The Guarantor shall be liable (as specified in Section 13.1) to the Lender and the Administrative Agent for all obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.

13.10 Borrower Information. The Guarantor confirms and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with the Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of the Borrowers. The Guarantor has adequate means to

147

obtain information from the Borrowers on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrowers and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, and the Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranty Obligations. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the Borrowers now known or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent. The Guarantor hereby waives any right to have the Collateral or other collateral or security securing the Guaranty Obligations marshaled.

13.11 Instrument for the Payment of Money. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 13 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by the Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motions and/or actions under New York CPLR Section 3213.
