(a) Request for Borrowing. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans from one Type of Loan to another, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the applicable Borrower Party’s irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone or, as set forth below, in writing.

Each telephonic notice by a Borrower Party pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower Party (and each Loan Notice submitted by a Qualified Borrower must be countersigned by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower).

No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b) Administrative Agent Notification. Following receipt of a Loan Notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by a Borrower Party, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars described in the preceding subsection.

(c) Lender Commitment. Upon receipt of a Loan Notice from Administrative Agent, the Lenders shall make such Loan, on a pro-rata basis, in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage.

(d) Tranches; No Obligation to Fund if Maximum Rate Exceeded. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower Parties shall not have the right to have more than 20 Eurodollar Rate Loans in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period, nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.05(a) would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan.

(e) Continuations and Conversions. During the existence of an Event of Default or Default under Sections 10.01(a) or 10.01(h), no Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, and if a mandatory prepayment results therefrom, be prepaid in such amount, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or otherwise on demand. Any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically continue as a Eurodollar Rate Loan without any further action of any Borrower Party.

2.03 Minimum Loan Amounts. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $250,000, either individually or, if multiple Borrowings, conversions or continuations are made simultaneously, in the aggregate; provided, however, that a 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 for the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under Section 2.07(e).

2.04 Funding.

(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall in accordance with the terms hereof, on any Loan Date, make the proceeds of its ratable share of each Borrowing available to Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at Administrative Agent’s Office in the applicable currency for the account of the appropriate Borrower Party (or, if otherwise agreed between such Lender and such Borrower Party and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, directly to such Borrower Party as specified in the Loan Notice, or, if requested by such Borrower Party in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested) no later than 2:00 p.m. in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars on the Loan Date in Same Day Funds and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Loan Date in Same Day Funds, and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall

promptly transfer such proceeds in Same Day Funds to such Borrower Party’s account as specified in the Loan Notice, or, if requested by such Borrower Party in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested; provided, however, that (i) if, in connection with a particular Borrowing, the 2:00 p.m. time in this sentence is not met as a result of an operational or technical error, issue or oversight, then the 2:00 p.m. time in this sentence shall instead be 3:00 p.m., (ii) [reserved], and (iii) if a single entity is the only Lender, such Lender may wire such funds directly to the Borrower Party (or as directed by the Borrower Party) as specified in the Loan Notice. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its respective share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its ratable share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Loan Date that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share, as applicable, of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its ratable share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable Loan Date in the applicable currency, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the appropriate Borrower Party a corresponding amount.

(b) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 12.06(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 12.06(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 12.06(c).

2.05 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below:

(i) [Reserved];

(iii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in accordance with Section 2.02.

(b) Default Rate.

(i) If any amount of principal of the Obligations is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.05(a) and unless such payment is waived pursuant to Section 12.01) such amount shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of the Obligations) payable by a Borrower Party under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.05(a) and unless such payment is waived pursuant to Section 12.01), such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate.

2.06 Determination of Rate. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing or any portion thereof shall become effective, without prior notice to the Borrower Parties, automatically as of the opening of business of Administrative Agent on the date of said change. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower Parties and the Lenders of any change in Union Bank’s prime rate used in determining the Alternative Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

Administrative Agent will xxxx Borrowers on behalf of all Lenders with respect to interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Availability Period: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.07: (1) to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of a Borrower Party, in aggregate face amounts that may be not less than $100,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, as a Borrower Party may request (except to the extent a lesser amount is requested by such Borrower Party and agreed by Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer), and to amend or extend (in accordance with subsection (b)) Letters of Credit previously issued by it; and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower Party and any drawings thereunder; provided, however that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit: (1) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligation will not exceed the Available Loan Amount; (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the Applicable Percentage of any Lender’s share of Principal Obligations (including any participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) may not exceed such Lender’s Commitment; and (3) the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Obligations will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by a Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit will be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower Party’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit will be fully revolving, and accordingly a Borrower Party may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired (without any pending drawing) or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Letter of Credit Issuer will have the right to approve the form of Letter of Credit requested.

(ii) The Letter of Credit Issuer will not issue any Letter of Credit, if: (A) subject to Section 2.07(b)(iii), the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur more than 12 months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has approved such expiry date in its sole discretion; or (B) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur after the Stated Maturity Date, without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer and all Lenders.

(iii) The Letter of Credit Issuer will be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator by its terms purports to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer prohibits, or requests that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or imposes upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or imposes upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(D) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the applicable Borrower Party or such Lender to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as to which the Letter of Credit Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv) The Letter of Credit Issuer will be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(v) The Letter of Credit Issuer will act on behalf of Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Letter of Credit Issuer has all of the benefits and immunities: (A) provided to Administrative Agent in Section 12 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 12 included Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions; and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit will be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of a Borrower Party made in the form of a Request for Credit Extension delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower Party, together with a Borrowing Base Certificate. Such Request for Credit Extension may be sent by fax, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the Letter of Credit Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer. Such Request for Credit Extension must be received by the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least: (x) two Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit in Dollars; and (y) four Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency, (or, in any case, such later date and time as Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion). In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Request for Letter of Credit must specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which must be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the currency of the Letter of Credit to be issued; and (H) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, the related Request for Letter of Credit must specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which must be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the applicable Borrower Party agrees to furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any additional Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Request for Credit Extension relating to a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Request for Credit Extension from a Borrower Party and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Borrower Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 6 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower Party or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the

issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender will be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Letter of Credit Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. With the approval of Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, the risk participation of each Lender will terminate upon the occurrence of the Maturity Date and the full and final payment of the Obligations (other than the Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit Obligations described below), and the Issuer Documents, rather than this Credit Agreement, will govern the rights and obligations of Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and Borrower Parties with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations, so long as Borrower has Cash Collateralized all Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding, to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer, in their respective sole discretion.

(iii) If any Borrower so requests in any applicable Request for Credit Extension, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, a Borrower Party will not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders are hereby deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Stated Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer will not permit any such extension if: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of Section 2.07 or otherwise); or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.02 and, if applicable, Section 6.03 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower Party and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer will notify the applicable Borrower Party and Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower Party shall reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer in such Alternative Currency, as applicable, unless: (A) Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars; or (B) in the absence of any such specification in such notice

for reimbursement in Dollars, the applicable Borrower Party shall have notified Letter of Credit Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that such Borrower Party will reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower Party of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing in such notice. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (or, if such payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer is made after 11:00 a.m., then on the next succeeding Business Day) (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower Party will reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. In the event that (x) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 2.07(c) and (y) the Dollar amount paid by the applicable Borrower Party, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, each Borrower Party agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to jointly and severally indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing. If a Borrower Party fails to so reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer by such time, Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower Party will be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.03 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Available Loan Amount and the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 and, if applicable, Section 6.03 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.07(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation will not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as Letter of Credit Issuer) will, upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(i), make funds available (and Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available will be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent will remit the funds so received to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 and, if applicable, Section 6.03, cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower Party will be deemed to have incurred from the Letter of Credit Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing is due and payable on demand (together with interest) and will bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(ii) will be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and will constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.07.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount will be solely for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.07(c), is absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Borrower Party, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 and, if applicable, Section 6.03 (other than delivery of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance relieves or otherwise impairs the obligation of any Borrower Party to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(c) by the time specified in Section 2.07(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Credit Agreement, the Letter of Credit Issuer is hereby entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Letter of Credit Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid will constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the Letter of Credit Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the Letter of Credit Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.07(c), if Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower Party or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.04 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its discretion), each Lender must pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Lenders under this clause (ii) will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower Party to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving 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 drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) waiver by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any requirement that exists for the Letter of Credit Issuer’s protection and not the protection of a Borrower Party or any waiver by the Letter of Credit Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice a Borrower Party;

(v) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vi) any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC or the ISP, as applicable;

(vii) 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; or 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; or

(viii) 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 Borrower Party.

Each Borrower Party will promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower Party’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower Party will immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Borrower Party is hereby conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and each Borrower Party agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer will 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, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer will 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 or related Request for Credit Extension. Each Borrower Party hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and will not, preclude each Borrower Party’s 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, any of its Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, is liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.07(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower Party may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to such Borrower Party, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower Party which such Borrower Party proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. 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 is not 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. The Letter of Credit Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (known as SWIFT) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms hereof control.

(h) Applicability of ISP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Borrower Party when a Letter of Credit is issued the rules of the ISP apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Letter of Credit Issuer is not responsible to the Borrower Parties for, and Letter of Credit Issuer’s rights and remedies against any Borrower Party will not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Letter of Credit Issuer required or permitted under any Law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Credit Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where Letter of Credit Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade—International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such Law or practice.

2.08 Payment of Borrower Guaranties. In consideration of Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower hereunder, to cause Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a Qualified Borrower, and to accept Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, each Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, to disburse directly to Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, with notice to Borrowers, in Same Day Funds an amount equal to the amount due and owing under any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note or Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, costs, expenses and fees due to Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant thereto in the event the applicable Lender shall have not received the applicable payment when due. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrowers of any disbursement made to Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the terms hereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement. Any such disbursement made by Administrative Agent to Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan, and Borrowers shall be deemed to have given to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.02(a), a Loan Notice with respect thereto. Administrative Agent may conclusively rely (absent manifest error) on Lenders as to the amount due to Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note or Borrower Guaranty.

2.09 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes permitted under the Governing Agreements and the Constituent Documents of the Borrower Parties, including, if and to the extent permitted under the Governing Agreements, to finance investment activities, to provide working capital, to pay Borrower Expenses and for other permitted purposes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to pay dividends or distributions on its outstanding equity interest). None of the Lenders, Agents, the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and none of the Lenders, Agents, the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under the Governing Agreements or such Constituent Documents. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any conversion or continuation thereof or any L/C Credit Extension, or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by any Secured Party as to whether any Portfolio Investment or any other use of the proceeds of the Loans by Borrower Parties is permitted by the terms of the Governing Agreements or the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party.

2.10 Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3 and subject to Section 2.14(a)(iii), Borrowers shall pay to (a) Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender or (b) if directed by Administrative Agent at such times as there is only one Lender, such Lender at its Lending Office, an unused commitment fee (an “Unused Commitment Fee”) which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the product of: (i) the average daily difference during the immediately preceding calendar month between (A) such Lender’s Commitment and (B) such Lender’s outstanding Principal Obligation (including its participation in the Letter of Credit Obligations) (on a Dollar Equivalent basis) during such calendar month, and (ii) 25 basis points (0.25%) per annum. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears in Dollars on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter. Borrowers and Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Unused Commitment Fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to Lenders for committing to make funds available to Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

2.11 Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent and Arranger fees in consideration of the arrangement of the Commitments and administration of this Credit Agreement in Dollars, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between Borrowers and Administrative Agent and Borrowers and the Arranger in separate fee letter agreements.

2.12 Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower Parties will pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance, subject to Section 2.14, with its Applicable Percentage, a fee for each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin per annum times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fee is: (i) due and payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the issuance of any Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date, and thereafter (if applicable following an Event of Default or the issuance of a replacement letter of credit) on demand; and (ii) computed quarterly in arrears. For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit will be determined in accordance with Section 1.05. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit will be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, such fee will accrue at the Default Rate.

(b) Fronting Fee and Administrative Charges. The Borrower Parties must pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer, for its own account, in consideration of the issuance and fronting of Letters of Credit, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at a rate agreed to between Borrowers and the Letter of Credit Issuer in separate fee letter agreements, with such amounts computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee is due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter (if applicable) on demand. For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit will be determined in accordance with Section 1.05. In addition, the Borrower Parties will pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Letter of Credit Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Alternative Base Rate is determined by Union Bank’s “prime rate” or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan from and including 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 3.04, bear interest for one day.

2.14 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.01 and/or the definition of “Required Lenders”.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent, or to be paid, for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.02), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16; fourth, as Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to: (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement; and (y) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Credit Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower Parties as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or written settlement agreement) obtained by any Borrower Party against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and eighth, to that

Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if: (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Obligations owned to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro-rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Applicable Percentages hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) A Defaulting Lender (x) is not entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee payable under Section 2.10 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower Parties will not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender); and (y) is limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.12.

(B) Each Defaulting Lender will be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16.

(C) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.10 or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B) above, the Borrower Parties will: (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below; (y) pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender; and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations will be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that: (x) the conditions set forth in Sections 6.02(a) and 6.02(b) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower Parties have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower Parties are hereby deemed to have represented and warranted at such time that such conditions are satisfied); and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Applicable Percentage of any Non-Defaulting Lender’s share of Principal Obligations (including its participation in any Letter

of Credit Obligations) to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 12.26, no reallocation hereunder will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower Parties will, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.16.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrowers and Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (each in its sole discretion) agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro-rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentage (without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv)) whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower Parties while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

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

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

(b) Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and the other Obligations, including indemnities, and Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and the other Obligations against any one or more Borrowers.

(c) Separate Exercise of Remedies. Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) may exercise remedies against each Borrower Party and its property separately, whether or not Administrative Agent exercises remedies against any other Borrower Party or its property. Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Borrower Party’s obligations without enforcing any other Borrower Party’s obligations and vice versa. Any failure or inability of Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Borrower Party’s obligations shall not in any way limit Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of any other Borrower Party.

2.16 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If: (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been repaid in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement; (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Cash Collateralization Date, any Letter of Credit Obligations for any reason remains outstanding, provided, however, that no Cash Collateralization will be required with respect to Letters of Credit if Borrower has delivered a Facility Extension Request and satisfied all the requirements of Section 2.18, other than the payment of fees thereunder, on or prior to the Letter of Credit Cash Collateralization Date; (iii) the applicable Borrower Party is required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 10.02(d) or the proviso to Section 10.02; or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender; the Borrower Parties will immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within two Business Days (in all other cases) following any request by Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above after giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, or that the total amount of such funds is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower Parties will, forthwith upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such Minimum Collateral Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds will be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower Parties, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as herein provided or a Permitted Lien, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower Parties will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) will be maintained in blocked, non-interest-bearing deposit accounts at Union Bank. The Borrower Parties agree to pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.07, 2.14, 3.05, 3.07 or 10.02 in respect of Letters of Credit will be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations will be released promptly following: (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 12.11(b)(vii))); or (ii) the reasonable determination by Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however: (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Borrower Party may not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 10.05); and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral may not be released but instead will be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.17 Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a) Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrowers from time to time, increase no more than six times, the Maximum Commitment to the amount requested by Borrowers by: (x) admitting additional lenders hereunder (each, a “Subsequent Lender”); or (y) increasing the Commitment of any Lender (each, an “Increasing Lender”); or both, subject to the following conditions and Section 2.17(b):

(i) Borrowers shall have delivered to Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Request (and Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies of such notice to the Lenders);

(ii) If requested pursuant to Section 3.01, Borrowers shall, as applicable, execute a new Note payable to each requesting Subsequent Lender and each requesting Increasing Lender;

(iii) After giving effect to the increase in the Lender’s Commitment, the Maximum Commitment will not exceed $500,000,000;

(iv) The increase in the aggregate amount of Lenders’ Commitments shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or such lesser remaining amount available pursuant to clause (iii) above;

(v) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such increase in the Lenders’ Commitments;

(vi) As of the date of such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Section 7 shall be true and correct in all material respects, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date; except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to any earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and except that for the purposes of this Section 2.17(a)(vi), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.07 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01;

(vii) (A) unless previously agreed in writing, each Increasing Lender shall have consented to such increase in writing; and (B) each Subsequent Lender shall have executed a Lender Joinder Agreement to this Credit Agreement in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; and

(viii) Borrowers shall pay the applicable Facility Increase Fee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything else in the foregoing: (i) no admission of any Subsequent Lender shall increase the Commitment of any existing Lender without such existing Lender’s consent; and (ii) no Lender shall become an Increasing Lender without such Lender’s consent.

2.18 Extension of Stated Maturity Date. So long as (x) no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (a) or on the Stated Maturity Date and (y) the representations and warranties contained in Section 7 or in any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (a) and on the Stated Maturity Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.18, the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.07 are hereby deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01, the Borrowers may extend the Stated Maturity Date to a Business Day that is not later than 12 months after the then-effective Stated Maturity Date, no more than one time, upon: (a) delivery of a Facility Extension Request to Administrative Agent at least 30 days, but no more than 90 days, prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect or such shorter time period as Administrative Agent may agree; (b) payment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of a facility extension fee equal to 25 basis points on the then-existing Maximum Commitment; and (c) payment by the Borrowers of all fees to Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent then due. Administrative Agent agrees to deliver written confirmation of any extension to the Borrowers.

3. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

3.01 Notes. Any Lender may request that the Loans to be made by such Lender to the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be evidenced by promissory notes. If so requested, the Notes shall: (a)(i) if payable to the Administrative Agent, collectively be in the amount of the Maximum Commitment or (ii) if payable to a Lender, be in the amount of aggregate Commitments of the applicable Lender; (b)(i) except as provided in the penultimate sentence of this Section 3.01, be payable to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or their registered assigns at the principal office of Administrative Agent or (ii) if requested at such times as there is only one Lender, such Lender or such other administrator or trustee for such Lender as such Lender may designate (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns); (c) bear interest in accordance with Section 2.05; (d) be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (e) be made by the appropriate Borrower Party. The Loans to be made by Lenders to Qualified Borrowers hereunder shall be evidenced by a promissory note of each such Qualified Borrower. Each Qualified Borrower Promissory Note shall (A) be in the amount of the Loans to be advanced to such Qualified Borrower; (B)(i) be payable to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or their registered assigns, at the principal office of Administrative Agent or (ii) if requested at such times as there is only one Lender, such Lender or such other administrator or trustee for such Lender as such Lender may designate in writing (or, if requested by such Lender in writing, to such Lender and its registered assigns); (C) bear interest in accordance with Section 2.05; (D) be substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (E) be duly executed by such Qualified Borrower. Each Borrower Party agrees, from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent, to reissue new Notes to Administrative Agent (or such Lender in accordance with the next sentence and Section 12.11) in substitution for the Note previously

issued by such Borrower Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower Party agrees, from time to time upon the request of any Lender, to issue a separate Note to such Lender in the amount of that Lender’s Commitments and, if necessary, issue a replacement Note to Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender, such that all Notes then outstanding collectively provide for the Maximum Commitment. Any issuance of a Note to a Lender shall be pursuant to this Section 3.01.

3.02 Payment of Obligation. The 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.

3.03 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 Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.05, notwithstanding whether any Borrower Party 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 a Borrower Party, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, in accordance with the Loan Notice, 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 Same Day Funds by Administrative Agent.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest (i) on the Obligations, including any interest payable on any Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 3.06, shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, and (ii) at any time and from time to time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon demand by 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.

3.04 Payments of Obligation.

(a) Payments Generally. All payments of principal of and interest on the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by any Borrower Party to or for the account of Lenders, or any one of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff by such Borrower Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be made to (i) Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars or (ii) if requested by Administrative Agent at such times as there is only one Lender, directly to the applicable Lender at its Lending Office and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Credit Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.

(b) With respect to payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, funds received (i) after 1:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be treated for all purposes as having been received by Administrative Agent or, if applicable a Lender on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. Each Lender shall be entitled to receive its applicable share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by Administrative Agent to the appropriate Lender. If any payment to be made by any Borrower Party 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 computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that the Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.04) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower Party a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and, if the applicable Lender fails to pay its amount upon Administrative Agent’s demand, the applicable Borrower Party severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent within two Business Days of demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower Party to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower Party, the interest rate applicable to such borrowing; provided, however, that if funds are not available to such Borrower Party in the applicable Collateral Accounts to make payment on demand, to the extent that it is necessary for the applicable Borrower to issue a Capital Call to fund such required payment, such payment shall be made within 20 Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand (and, in any event, such Borrower shall issue such Capital Call and shall make such payment promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received). If any Borrower Party and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower Party the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower Party for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower Party shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower Party may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower Parties; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower Party prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder that such Borrower Party will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower Party has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower Party has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower Party with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

3.05 Mandatory Prepayment.

(a) Excess Loans Outstanding. If, on any day and subject to Section 5.02(c), the portion of the Principal Obligation exceeds (a) the Available Loan Amount (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event or changes in the Inclusion Percentage) or (b) the maximum amount, if any, of indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Governing Agreements (each, a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”), then the Borrowers shall pay such excess (the “Mandatory Prepayment Amount”) to (i) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, or (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent at such times as there is only one Lender, the Lender, in Same Day Funds (the “Mandatory Prepayment Due Date”): (A) within three Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent, to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Accounts; and (B) promptly (but in no event later than 20 days of demand by Administrative Agent), to the extent that it is necessary for the Borrowers to issue a Capital Call to fund such required payment (and one or both Borrowers (or the applicable Managing Entity) shall issue such Capital Calls during such time).

(b) Excess Letters of Credit Outstanding. If the amount of any Mandatory Prepayment Amount exceeds the Principal Obligation attributable to Loans (plus, for the avoidance of doubt, any other then-due Obligation of the Borrower Parties other than Letter of Credit Obligations), the applicable Borrower Party must Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations in the amount sufficient that, after giving effect to such prepayment and any Capital Calls to fund it, no such Mandatory Prepayment Amount would exist, when required pursuant to the terms of Section 3.04(a).

3.06 Voluntary Prepayments. Any Borrower Party may, upon delivery of a Repayment Notice to the Administrative Agent which may be conditioned upon the occurrence of a financing or other event, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) such Repayment Notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.: (i) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans; (ii) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) four Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such Repayment Notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Administrative

Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such Repayment Notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such Repayment Notice is given by a Borrower Party, such Borrower Party shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such Repayment Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by (to the extent timely invoiced to the relevant Borrower) any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective share of the Type(s) of Loans to be repaid.

3.07 Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Request for Credit Extension is outstanding, Borrowers may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving prior written notice, which may be conditioned upon the occurrence of a financing or other event, to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by Borrowers in such notice), provided that: (a) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (b) Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Principal Obligation would exceed the aggregate Commitments (except that if such Principal Obligation consists solely of Letter of Credit Obligations, the Borrower Parties may provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit Obligations and terminate the aggregate Commitments). Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments. In no event may Borrowers reduce the aggregate Commitments to $5,000,000 or less (other than by a termination of all the Commitments), except in the case that the outstanding Principal Obligation consists solely of Letter of Credit Obligations, in which case the Borrower Parties may reduce the aggregate Commitments to the amount of Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, unless each Lender shall agree otherwise. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same.

3.08 Lending Office. Each Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Eurodollar Rate Loan; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Base Rate Loan and (c) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrowers. In such event, the Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its 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 2.04, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Lender shall, regardless of such Lender’s actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by the Borrower Parties for such Borrowing.

4. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

4.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) require the withholding or deduction of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower Party, then Administrative Agent or such Borrower Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any Borrower Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Internal Revenue Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then: (A) such Borrower Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below; (B) such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code; and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by such Borrower Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, each applicable Borrower Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws or at the option of Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(i) The Borrower Parties shall, and do hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, but excluding any penalties, interest or expenses that are attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Recipient. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation and basis for such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower Party by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 20 days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so). Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Borrower Parties and the Administrative Agent, within 20 days after demand therefor, for (A) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (B) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, or the Letter of Credit

Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Borrower Parties or 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 Borrower Parties or the Letter of Credit Issuer by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, 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 4.01(c).

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by a Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Borrower Party or by Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 4.01, such Borrower Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Borrower Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Recipients; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Recipient 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 Borrower Parties and to Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation requested by Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent as will permit such payment to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law, by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction or reasonably requested by Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A), 4.01(e)(ii)(B), 4.01(e)(ii)(D) and 4.01(e)(ii)(E)) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (provided that such Lender’s internal costs of completing, executing or submitting such documentation shall not be considered to be material unreimbursed costs or expenses) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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

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

(1) in the case of a Foreign Person 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, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, 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, 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;

(2) an executed copy of IRS Form W 8ECI, or applicable successor form;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Person 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 I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Person is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (y) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or applicable successor form; or

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

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

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Parties or 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 Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement; and

(E) Administrative Agent, if it is a Foreign Person, shall deliver to Borrower Parties an executed copy of (i) IRS Form W-8IMY evidencing its entitlement to be treated as a United States person with respect to any payments under this Credit Agreement for which it is not the beneficial owner and (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any payments under this Credit Agreement for which it is the beneficial owner.

Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time does Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be. If Administrative Agent or any other Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower Parties or with respect to which any Borrower Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly pay to such Borrower Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower Parties, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to any such Borrower Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to

Administrative Agent or such other Recipient in the event Administrative Agent or such other Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any other Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower Party or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.01 will survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

4.02 Illegality. If any Funding Party determines in its reasonable judgment that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Funding Party or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Credit Extension whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Funding Party to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable offshore interbank market, on notice thereof by such Funding Party to Borrower Parties through its Administrative Agent: (a) any obligation of such Funding Party to make or continue Credit Extensions accruing interest at a Eurodollar Rate, in the affected currency or currencies, or to convert any portion of Loans accruing interest at the Alternative Base Rate to a portion of Loans accruing interest at a Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended; and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Funding Party making or maintaining Base Rate Loans for which the interest rate is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternative Base Rate, the interest rate for Base Rate Loans made by such Funding Party shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternative Base Rate, in each case until such Funding Party notifies its Administrative Agent(which promptly notifies the Borrower Parties) that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which it agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such conditions cease to exist). Upon receipt of such notice: (i) the applicable Borrower Party shall, upon demand from such Funding Party (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans (with an interest rate that shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternative Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Funding Party may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or, if such Funding Party may not lawfully continue to maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans immediately; and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Funding Party determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternative Base Rate applicable to such Funding Party without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Funding Party that it is no longer illegal for such Funding Party to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Each Funding Party 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 Funding Party, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Funding Party.

4.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or in connection with a conversion relating thereto or continuation thereof, the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that: (a) deposits (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market in the applicable amount and Interest Period, if applicable, of such Loan; (b) subject to Section 1.08, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with

an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan; or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Funding Parties of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower Parties and each Funding Party. Thereafter: (i) the obligation of the Funding Party, as applicable, to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended, and (ii) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternative Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Alternative Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice (which it agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such conditions cease to exist). Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower Party may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, without reference to the Eurodollar Rate, in the amount specified therein.

4.04 Increased Costs Generally.

(a) Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 4.04(e));

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than: (A) Indemnified Taxes; (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) 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; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Funding Party of making, funding or maintaining any Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, the applicable Borrower Parties will pay to such Lender of 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, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such compensation for additional costs incurred or reduction suffered by such Funding Party because of a Change in Law may only be requested by a Funding Party imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower Parties under credit facilities comparable to those provided for herein.

(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 Lender, 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 Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower Parties will 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; provided that compensation for any such reduction suffered by such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company because of a Change in Law may only be requested by a Funding Party imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower Parties under credit facilities comparable to those provided for herein.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to a Borrower Party will be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower Party will pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 will not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower Party will be required to compensate a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower Parties of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’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 nine-month period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. The applicable Borrower Party will pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender is required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including LIBOR funds or deposits (currently known as “eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination will be conclusive), which will be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided such Borrower Party has received at least 20 days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 20 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest will be due and payable on the following Interest Payment Date.

4.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Funding Party (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, each applicable Borrower Party shall promptly compensate such Funding Party for and hold such Funding Party harmless from any loss, cost or expense (but excluding lost profits) reasonably incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by such Borrower Party (for a reason other than the failure of such Funding Party to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower Party;

(c) any failure by any Borrower Party to make payment of any Loan (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

(d) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by such Borrower Party pursuant to Section 12.13;

including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense, either directly or indirectly, arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan (including funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower Party to any applicable Funding Party under this Section 4.05, each applicable Funding Party shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank eurodollar market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no compensation shall be payable under this Section 4.05 with respect to any voluntary prepayment permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 to the extent such compensation resulting from such voluntary prepayment and otherwise payable to any individual Lender does not exceed $250.

4.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Funding Party.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Funding Party requests compensation under Section 4.04, or a Borrower Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 4.01, or if any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer gives a notice pursuant to Section 4.02, then, at the request of Borrowers, such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit 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 or the Letter of Credit Issuer, such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 4.02, as applicable; and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender of the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Funding Party. If (i) any Funding Party requests compensation under Section 4.04, or (ii) any Borrower Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Funding Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Funding Party pursuant to Section 4.01, Borrowers may, at their sole cost and effort, replace such Funding Party in accordance with Section 12.13; provided, however, that a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Funding Party or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No Funding Party shall claim compensation under Section 4.01, 4.03, 4.04 or 4.05 in a manner that is arbitrary, capricious, discriminatory or materially prejudicial to any Borrower Party as compared to such Funding Party’s claims for compensation with respect to borrowers that such Funding Party determines, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, are similarly situated to such Borrower Party.

(c) Survival. All of the Borrower Parties’ obligations under Sections 4.01, 4.04 and 4.05 and this Section 4.06 shall survive termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of Administrative Agent.

4.07 Prohibited Event.

(a) In the event a Funding Party notifies Administrative Agent that, subsequent to the Closing Date, such Funding Party or any of its Affiliates: (i) has become a fiduciary with respect to any ERISA Investor in connection with its investment in a Borrower or this transaction; or (ii) has acquired any discretionary authority or control with respect to any ERISA Investor’s investment in a Borrower, or renders any investment advice (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-21(c)) with respect to such investment, the parties hereby agree that the event described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be deemed to have caused a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to the transactions described in this Credit Agreement, and the parties to this Credit Agreement shall reasonably cooperate with each other to correct such prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, any such correction shall prevent the Funding Party from receiving any direct or indirect fees, loan repayments, or any other benefits from such ERISA Investor.

(c) If Administrative Agent determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that any of the corrections described herein are insufficient to correct the prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the parties shall also reasonably cooperate to replace such Affected Funding Party.

5. SECURITY.

5.01 Liens and Security Interest. To secure performance by the Borrower Parties of the payment and performance of the Obligations: (a) each Borrower shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to its Collateral Accounts, including but not limited to any and all funds and financial assets (including all cash and Permitted Investments, but not including any Portfolio Investments) pursuant to each Assignment of Capital Contribution Account and each Account Control Agreement for the Collateral Accounts, in each case subject only to Permitted Liens; and (b) each Borrower and each Managing Entity, to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to the Capital Calls, Capital Commitments, and

Capital Contributions, including, without limitation, any rights to make Capital Calls, receive payment of Capital Contributions and enforce the payment thereof pursuant to a Security Agreement or any guarantees thereof now existing or hereafter arising, in each case subject only to Permitted Liens (the collateral in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.01 being (except as otherwise set forth below), collectively, the “Collateral”). In order to secure further the payment and performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate the Administrative Agent’s and Secured Parties’ right of setoff, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as subscription agent and attorney-in-fact entitled, in the name of such Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (but subject to Section 10.03), to make any Capital Calls upon the Investors pursuant to (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreements and the applicable Governing Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is a continuing power and is coupled with an interest.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Collateral” shall not include (i) any ERISA Investor Excluded Items if such provision of such ERISA Investor Excluded Item or the exercise of remedies with respect to such ERISA Investor Excluded Item would be a non-exempt prohibited transaction for purposes of Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable law, (ii) the Capital Commitments or any assets, interests, rights or obligations of the GS Persons, if any, unless so elected by the Borrower Parties in their sole discretion, (iii) any Portfolio Investments, and (iv) any funds properly withdrawn from a Collateral Account (or that could be withdrawn pursuant to the Credit Agreement if deposited or credited to a Collateral Account) to the extent used, pursuant to the terms of the related Governing Agreements, to purchase Portfolio Investments (other than Permitted Investments deposited in or credited to such account), to make payments to Investors in accordance with the terms hereof or for any other purpose permitted under the Governing Agreements and this Credit Agreement, and the proceeds of such withdrawn funds; provided, however, Administrative Agent may issue Capital Calls on all Investors (including all Prohibited Persons) in exercising remedies under Section 10.02 or any other Loan Document and to the extent necessary to comply with any pro rata drawdown requirements set forth in the applicable Governing Agreement.

5.02 Collateral Accounts.

(a) Collateral Accounts and Capital Contributions. Each Borrower shall require that all Investors wire-transfer to the Capital Contribution Account of the applicable Borrower all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any Investor to the capital of such Borrower as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to Capital Calls (or, if a Borrower receives such payments directly, to deposit such Capital Contributions promptly (but in any event within three Business Days) into the Capital Contribution Account of the applicable Borrower).

(b) No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to Capital Calls. None of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of a Borrower or take any other action with respect to any other matter which might arise in connection with such Constituent Documents, the Subscription Agreements or any Capital Call. None of them shall have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of a Borrower or any Investor. None of them has any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Capital Call or with respect to the investment or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(c) Use of Account. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Borrower may withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts at any time or from time to time, so long as at the time of such withdrawal or disbursement and after giving effect thereto: (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) no Default under Sections 10.01(a) or 10.01(h) exists; and (iii) no Mandatory Prepayment Event exists (unless, with respect to this clause (iii) only, after giving effect to such withdrawal, sufficient funds remain on deposit therein or credited thereto to satisfy Borrowers’ payment obligation with respect to such Mandatory Prepayment Event) (any event set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), or (iii), a “Cash Control Event”). Any withdrawal from a Collateral Account by a Borrower shall be deemed a representation and warranty that the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) have been satisfied; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrower may withdraw amounts from its Collateral Accounts during the continuance of a Cash Control Event (other than if a Default or Event of Default exists under Sections 10.01(g) or 10.01(h)) if (A) such amounts (x) were subject to a Capital Call to fund a Portfolio Investment made prior to the time when such Cash Control Event was so triggered (the “Investment Capital Call” and the Capital Contributions resulting from such Investment Capital Call, the “Investment Capital Contributions”), (y) are withdrawn by such Borrower within five (5) Business Days of the due date of such Investment Capital Call, and (z) are used to consummate a Portfolio Investment which was committed to by such Borrower prior to the date such Cash Control Event was triggered, (B) after giving effect to the Investment Capital Call, the Principal Obligations outstanding at such time did not exceed the Borrowing Base, and (C) immediately following the withdrawal of such Investment Capital Contributions, (x) the Principal Obligations outstanding at such time will not exceed the Borrowing Base, or (y) to the extent a Mandatory Prepayment Event would exist following the withdrawal of such Investment Capital Contributions (an “Investment Mandatory Prepayment Event”), then, immediately prior to the withdrawal of such Investment Capital Contributions, the Unfunded Commitments are at least five times greater than the Mandatory Prepayment Amount resulting from such Investment Mandatory Prepayment Event and an additional Capital Call has been made (such Capital Call, a “Curing Capital Call”) in an amount sufficient to cure such Investment Mandatory Prepayment Event (for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Curing Capital Call described in this clause (C)(y): (1) funds received pursuant to such Curing Capital Call may not be withdrawn for any other purpose until the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Amount is paid and the applicable Investment Mandatory Prepayment Event is cured, and (2) for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base, the Unfunded Commitments shall not be reduced by a Pending Capital Call that is a Curing Capital Call until the earlier of (I) the stated due date of such Curing Capital Call, (II) the date the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Amount is paid and the applicable Investment Mandatory Prepayment Event is cured, or (III) 20 days following the issuance of such Curing Capital Call); provided further, that nothing herein shall prevent any Borrower from withdrawing amounts from its Collateral Accounts, including during the continuance of a Cash Control Event, that are necessary to pay a Permitted RIC Distribution. Upon the exercise of a notice of control in accordance with Sections 10.02 and 10.03, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Account Control Agreement, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Secured Parties, acting through Administrative Agent, to charge from time to time the Collateral Accounts for amounts not paid by Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, none of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties shall ever 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 Capital Calls, Capital Commitments, or any Capital Contributions, or sums due or paid thereon. Administrative Agent shall give each Borrower prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.02(c), but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of a Borrower with respect to such action.

(d) Other Accounts. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Borrowers may maintain other bank accounts or securities accounts in addition to the Collateral Accounts that will not be considered “Collateral” or a “Collateral Account” and such other accounts shall not be subject to control agreements or other restrictions, provided that all Capital Contributions are directed and deposited as provided above.

5.03 Agreement to Deliver Additional Collateral Documents. Each Borrower and each Managing Entity shall deliver such security agreements, account control agreements, financing statements, assignments, and other collateral documents (all of which shall be deemed part of the “Collateral Documents”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time to the extent necessary for granting to, or maintaining or perfecting in favor of itself and Secured Parties, first priority security interest (in each case subject to Permitted Liens) in any of the Collateral, together with assurances of due recording and documentation of the Collateral Documents or copies thereof, as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted pursuant to this Section 5.

5.04 Subordination. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Borrower Party shall make any payments or advances of any kind, directly or indirectly, on any debts and liabilities to any other Borrower 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 Borrower 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 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 Borrower Party agrees to take such actions as are necessary to provide for such subordination between it and any other Borrower Party, inter se, including but not limited to including provisions for such subordination in the documents evidencing the Other Claims.

Each Borrower has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or the property owned or leased by it requires such qualification except where the failure to be so qualified to do business would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Managing Entity has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and 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 reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.07 Financial Condition. Each Borrower Party has delivered to Administrative Agent: the most-recently available copies of the financial statements and reports described in Section 8.01. Such statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition of such Borrower Party as of the applicable date of such financial statements, and have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, except as provided therein.

7.08 Full Disclosure. There is no material fact actually known to a Responsible Officer of a Borrower Party that any Borrower Party or any Managing Entity has not disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing (other than information of a general industry or economic nature) which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The information heretofore furnished by any Borrower Party or any Managing Entity in connection with, or pursuant to, this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, including any reports, notices or certificates provided in connection herewith or therewith, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (taken as a whole) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact on the date as of which such information is stated or deemed stated that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Such written information may include certain forward-looking statements and projections (the “Projections”) which reflect various estimates and assumptions by the Borrower Parties concerning anticipated results. The Borrower Parties do not make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy of any such Projections which may be furnished in any written information.

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

7.23 No Defenses. No Responsible Officer of any Borrower Party has actual knowledge of any default or circumstance which with the passage of time and/or giving of notice, could constitute an event of default under the Governing Agreements, any Subscription Agreement or Side Letter which would constitute a defense to the obligations of the Investors to make Capital Contributions pursuant to a Capital Call to the applicable Borrower in accordance with the Subscription Agreements or the Governing Agreements, and no Responsible Officer of any Borrower Party has actual knowledge of any claims of offset or any other claims of the Investors against such Borrower or its Managing Entity which would or could materially and adversely affect the obligations of the Investors to make Capital Contributions and fund Capital Calls in accordance with the Subscription Agreements (and any related Side Letters) or the Governing Agreements, in each case except as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such proposed amendment, modification or change to such Constituent Document is a material amendment, and shall notify the applicable Borrower of its determination within five Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification pursuant to Section 12.07. If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is a material amendment and notifies the Borrowers in writing of such determination, the approval of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent, in their reasonable discretion, will be required (unless the approval of a different percentage of Lenders is required consistent with the terms of Section 12.01), and 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 the applicable Borrower, and Lenders shall be required to respond to such requests within five Business Days of such notice, and if no response is given such Lender shall be deemed to have approved the proposed amendment. If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is not a material amendment, the applicable Borrower may make such amendment without the consent of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, the applicable Borrower may amend its Constituent Documents: (i) to admit new Investors and subject to Section 9.05 and 9.06, allow Investors to withdraw or reduce or terminate their interests in or commitments to such Borrower to the extent otherwise permitted by this Credit Agreement; (ii) to reflect transfers of interests of Investors otherwise permitted by this Credit Agreement and (iii) to extend the investment period.

20 days of such Replacement Action (the “Institutional Investor Delivery Requirement”). During such 20 day period, the applicable Borrower shall provide information available to it (which is not prohibited to be disclosed pursuant to confidentiality obligations), and the Administrative Agent will promptly determine whether or not such Institutional Investor (and all or a portion of its Capital Commitment) is an Included Investor or Designated Investor in accordance with the definition of Included Investor or Designated Investor, as applicable (which shall be subject to, among other things, specific credit approval) (a “Final Inclusion Determination”).

Prior to the effectiveness of any Transfer by an Investor or any cancellation, suspension, reduction, excuse, reallocation, deferral or abatement relating to funding of Capital Commitments as permitted by and described in Section 9.06, Borrowers shall calculate whether, taking into account the Capital Commitments of the Investors as if such Transfer or other event permitted pursuant to Section 9.06 had occurred, the Transfer or other event permitted pursuant to Section 9.06 would cause a Mandatory Prepayment Event, and Borrowers shall make Capital Calls if and to the extent necessary to pay and shall pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Amount prior to permitting such event.

9.06 Capital Commitments. No Borrower nor any Managing Entity shall: (a) cancel, suspend, reduce, excuse, reallocate, defer or xxxxx the Capital Commitment of any Investor (except in the case of (x) the release of the Capital Commitment of transferors of interests in such Borrower in connection with transfers between Investors permitted (or consented to) under this Credit Agreement, or (y) one or more Investors with aggregate Capital Commitments not to exceed five percent (5%) of the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Investors; provided that an updated Borrowing Base Certificate is provided within three (3) Business Days of such action and compliance with the requirements applicable to any resulting Mandatory Prepayment Event); and (b)(i) issue any Capital Calls other than as contemplated by Section 8.01(g); and (ii) excuse any Investor from or permit any Investor to defer any Capital Contribution, if the proceeds from the related Capital Call are to be applied to the Obligations hereunder.

hereby expressly waives, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (d) require that each Borrower Party Cash Collateralize its respective Letter of Credit Obligations (in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto); (e) cause the Managing Entities to notify the Investors to make Capital Calls in an amount equal to the Obligations as contemplated in Section 10.03; (f) subject to Section 10.03, exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth in the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the initiation of Capital Calls of the Capital Commitments (except to the extent a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA would result therefrom); (g) subject to Section 10.03, notify any or all parties obligated to a Borrower with respect to the Capital Commitments to make all payments due or to become due thereon to the Collateral Accounts or directly to Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties, at a different account number; or (h) subject to the last sentence of the last paragraph of this Section, without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Administrative Agent’s or Secured Parties’ rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable law or agreement (except to the extent a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA would result therefrom); provided, however, that if any Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h) shall occur, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower Parties to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations as aforesaid with automatically then become effective, in case without further act of Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower Party hereby expressly waives.

10.03 Curing an Event of Default by Investor Capital Call.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that can be cured by the making of Capital Calls, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, none of Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party may exercise any remedy to which it may be otherwise entitled under this Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity with respect to such Event of Default unless Administrative Agent shall have given the Borrower Parties five Business Days written notice of its intention to exercise such remedies (provided that, no such notice is required to the extent the Event of Default arises from the failure of Borrower Parties to make a Capital Call or make a payment following a Capital Call), in each case, required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. If, at any time prior to or during such five Business Day notice period, the Borrower Parties shall make a Capital Call on the Unfunded Commitments of the Investors sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Accounts) to cure each such Event of Default, then Administrative Agent, the Lenders and other Secured Parties may not exercise any such remedy until the expiration of the period ending 20 Business Days from the end of the initial five Business Day notice period, provided that nothing in this Section 10.03(a) shall prohibit Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party asserting exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts or taking any such actions as may be required to protect their rights in a bankruptcy proceeding; provided, however, that to the extent that (A) the Borrower Parties do not make such Capital Call or (B) the application of the proceeds of any such Capital Call are not sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Accounts) to cure such Event of Default, then, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Borrower Parties shall, if they did not originally issue a Capital Call, issue a Capital Call in an amount sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Accounts) to repay the Obligations.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, none of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (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 Borrower Party, any Investor, or any Affiliate thereof the purpose of which is to prevent the Borrower Parties from curing the applicable Event of Default (by issuing funding notices or otherwise) as contemplated by this Section 10.03(b), unless (x) Administrative Agent shall have given the Borrower Parties five Business Days’ written notice of its intention to exercise such remedies and (y) at any time prior to or during such five Business Day notice period, either (A) the Borrowers shall not have made a 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 amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Accounts, to repay the outstanding Obligations in full (a “Full Repayment Capital Call”), or (B) the Borrowers shall have made a Full Repayment Capital Call, but shall not have repaid all the outstanding Obligations on or prior to the expiration of the period ending 20 Business Days from the end of the initial five Business Days’ notice period.

(c) In the event that Administrative Agent elects to notify the Investors to make Capital Contributions in respect of their Unfunded Commitments, then Administrative Agent shall not 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 Commitment to the aggregate Unfunded Commitments of all Investors other than Defaulting Investors) without first making best efforts (consistent with the terms of the Constituent Documents and applicable Law) to issue a Capital Call (which may be issued by the applicable Managing Entity or Administrative Agent) to each Investor for its pro-rata share of the Obligations and waiting 30 calendar days following such Capital Call prior to initiating further remedies.

(d) None of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party shall be entitled to take any action against any Investor that is an ERISA Investor or a Plan (other than (i) issuing funding notices in the name of any Borrower Party or any Managing Entity or (ii) applying funds paid by such ERISA Investor or Plan into the applicable Capital Contribution Accounts (which shall remain in the name of the related Borrower) to the payment of the Obligations), under the applicable Governing Agreement or Subscription Agreement, as applicable to the extent it has knowledge that a “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code) would arise therefrom.

10.04 Performance by Administrative Agent. Should any Borrower Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, Administrative Agent may (subject to Section 10.03), but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person. In such event, each Borrower Party shall, at the request of Administrative Agent promptly pay any amount expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither any Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of any Borrower Party, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Borrower Party, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall any Agent or Secured Parties be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Borrower Party or any related Person.

10.05 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 10.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 10.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.14, be applied by Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Section 4) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer and amounts payable under Section 4), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer in proportion to their Applicable Percentage;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Fifth, to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amounts of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by a Borrower Party pursuant to Sections 2.07 and 2.16; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Sections 2.07(c) and 2.16, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above will be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount will be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

11. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

11.01 Appointment and Authority. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer (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) hereby irrevocably appoints each Agent to act on its behalf hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders and no Borrower Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of (or obligations under) such provisions.

11.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as 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 Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as 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 Borrower Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

11.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such 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 no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose any Agent 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 the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

No Agent 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 such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.02 and 12.01); or (ii) in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent (or any Related Parties of such Agent), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless and until notice describing the same is given to such Agent by Borrowers, the Letter of Credit Issuer or a Lender.

No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, notice or financial statement; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than, in the case of the Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to it.

11.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer unless Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

11.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

11.06 Resignation of Agent.

(a) Any Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower Parties. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and except that consent of Borrowers shall not be required during the continuance of any Event of Default), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Parties and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and: (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed); and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower Parties

to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower Parties and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 12.06 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Any resignation by Union Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.06 will also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer. If Union Bank resigns as Letter of Credit Issuer, it will retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.07(c). In the event of any such resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower Parties will be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (which successor must in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender). Upon the appointment by the Borrower Parties of a successor Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder: (i) such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer; (ii) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer will issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Union Bank to effectively assume the obligations of Union Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

11.07 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

11.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger or other titled parties listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or a Lender hereunder.

11.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Borrower Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether 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 Loans, Letter of Credit 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 and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Secured Parties and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 2.11 and otherwise hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

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

(c) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent hereunder.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize 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 Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

11.10 Collateral Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.09, Secured Parties irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit prior to draws thereon (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer have been made); (b) that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of or to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (c) subject to Section 12.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Secured Parties will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 11.10.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.01 Amendments. Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated (other than in accordance with its terms), unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by Required Lenders (and the Administrative Agent) or Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of Required Lenders), on the one hand, and Borrowers on the other hand; provided, that, if this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically provides that the terms thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated with the approval of Administrative Agent, acting alone, each Lender directly affected thereby, the Required Lenders or all Lenders, then such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination must be signed by Administrative Agent, each Lender directly affected thereby, the Required Lenders or all Lenders (together with the Administrative Agent), as applicable, on the one hand, and Borrowers on the other hand; provided further, that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender; and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; and (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Administrative Agent may, after consultation with Borrowers, agree to the modification of any term of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to correct any printing, stenographic or clerical errors or omissions that are inconsistent with the terms hereof.

Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly notify the Lenders of any proposed modification, waiver or amendment to any Loan Document, and deliver drafts of such proposed modification, waiver or amendment to the Lenders, prior to the effectiveness of such proposed modification, waiver or amendment, but providing such notice (other than in order to obtain the necessary consents required above) shall not be a condition to the effectiveness of any such modification, waiver or amendment.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above and in Section 12: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; and (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Administrative Agent may, after consultation with the Borrower Parties, agree to the modification of any term of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to correct any printing, stenographic or clerical errors or omissions that are inconsistent with the terms hereof or to fix any obvious error or any error or omission of technical or immaterial nature.

If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and shall not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within 10 Business Days of the making of such request by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent to the request.

12.02 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time (but subject to Section 10.03), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower Party may be owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff: (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

12.03 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it or the participations in the Letter of Credit Obligations, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro-rata share thereof as provided herein, then:

(a) the applicable Lender shall notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and

(b) such Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in the Letter of Credit Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

100

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to: (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.16; or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in the Letter of Credit Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to a Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

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

12.04 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any Borrower Party makes a payment to Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the Letter of Credit Issuer, or Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the Letter of Credit Issuer exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent, such Lender, or the Letter of Credit Issuer, each in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.

12.05 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided and provided under each other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.02 for the benefit of all Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit: (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (b) the Letter of Credit Issuer from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Letter of Credit Issuer) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.02 (subject to the terms of Sections 10.03 and 12.03); or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; then: (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.02; and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 11.03, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

101

12.06 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrowers shall pay: (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and reasonably documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, plus one law firm in each relevant foreign jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated); (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder; (iii) all fees and expenses charged by the Rating Agencies in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, fees and expenses incurred in connection with seeking an explicit rating of the Loans, regardless of whether or not such explicit rating is able to be issued; and (iv) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent or any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, plus one law firm in each relevant foreign jurisdiction), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section; or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or reorganization in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by Borrowers. Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonably documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all Indemnitees, plus one law firm in each relevant foreign jurisdiction) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrowers or any other Borrower Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of: (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Letter of Credit Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower Parties or any of their Subsidiaries; or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower or any other Borrower Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related

102

expenses: (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or the Related Parties of such Indemnitee); or (B) result from a claim brought by a Borrower or any other Borrower Party against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or Borrower Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (C) result from any settlement by any Indemnitee of any claim or threatened claim that is otherwise subject to indemnification under this Section unless Borrowers have consented in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; or (D) to the extent resulting from any dispute among Indemnitees (or their Related Parties); provided that the Administrative Agent to the extent fulfilling its role as an agent under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in its capacity as such, shall remain indemnified. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.06(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Letter of Credit Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are several.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (the foregoing “Consequential Damages”) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, provided that nothing in this sentence shall waive any indemnification provided to the Indemnitees referred to in subsection (b) above resulting from claims made by any Person not party hereto. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable: (A) promptly (but not later than 10 Business Days after demand therefor), to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Accounts; and (B) promptly (but in any event within 20 Business Days of demand by Administrative Agent), to the extent that it is necessary for a Borrower to issue Capital Calls to fund such required payment.

103

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

If to any Lender, in care of Administrative Agent, at its notice address and numbers set forth on Schedule 12.07 attached hereto (as such Schedule may be revised when and if Lenders are added or deleted). Each Lender agrees to provide to Administrative Agent a written notice stating such Person’s address, facsimile number, telephone number, e-mail address and the name of a contact person, and Administrative Agent may rely on such written notice unless and until a Lender, as applicable, provides Administrative Agent with a written notice designating a different address, facsimile number, telephone number or contact person.

(ii) Any party may change its address for purposes of this Credit Agreement by giving notice of such change to the other parties pursuant to this Section 12.07. With respect to any notice received by Administrative Agent from any Borrower Party or any Investor not otherwise addressed herein, Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly of the receipt of such notice, and shall provide copies thereof to Lenders. When determining the prior days’ notice required for any Request for Credit Extension or other notice to be provided by a Borrower Party or an Investor hereunder, the day the notice is delivered to Administrative Agent (or such other applicable Person) shall not be counted but the day of the related Credit Extension or other relevant action shall be counted.

Notices sent via telephone, shall be deemed to have been given on the day and at the time reciprocal communication (i.e., direct communication between two or more persons, which shall not include voice mail messages) with one of the individuals designated to receive notice occurs during a call to the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party. Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (c) or (d) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (c) or (d), as applicable.

Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer or Borrowers may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(d) Effectiveness of E-mail Notice. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes: (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient; and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

106

12.11 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. 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 permitted hereby, except that no Borrower Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) by way of assignment in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) and (j) of this Section 12.11; (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) of this Section 12.11; or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (g) of this Section 12.11 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and Participants to the extent provided in clause (e) of this Section 12.11, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignee (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purpose of this clause (b), participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subclause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Assignee (or to an Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except as set forth in the definition of “Eligible Assignee”.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with Administrative Agent’s customary processing and recordation fee; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

No such assignment shall be made: (A) to a Borrower Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower Party; (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); or (C) to a natural person; or (D) to any Person that is not a Qualified Purchaser; or (E) to any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee.

(vi) Borrower Requested Assignments. Each assignment made as a result of a demand by Borrowers under Section 12.13 shall be arranged by Borrowers after consultation with Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Credit Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another assignment or assignments that together constitute an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrowers and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro-rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to: (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro-rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its applicable share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) Effect of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 12.11, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 4.01, 4.04, 4.05 and 12.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, each applicable Borrower Party (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Lender, and the applicable existing Note or Notes shall be returned to the applicable Borrower Party. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (e) of this Section.

108

(d) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower Parties, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in an electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and any Participants of which the Administrative Agent becomes aware, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to, each applicable Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower Party, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Parties and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, with the consent of Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), sell participations to any Person that is a Qualified Purchaser (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, or a Borrower Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) owing to it); provided that any Lender may sell a participation in its rights and obligations hereunder only with the written consent of the Lender(s) , and provided, further that: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) each Borrower Party, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.06(e) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 12.01(a), Section 12.01(c)(i) or Section 12.01(c)(iii), in each case, that directly affects such Participant. Subject to clause (f) of this Section 12.11, Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.04, 4.05 and 12.06 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12.11; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.06(a) and (b) as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12.11. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of the right of setoff under applicable law as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 12.02 and 12.03 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.06(b) with respect to any Participant.

109

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any 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.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01, 4.04, or 4.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date such Participant acquired its participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.01 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower Parties, to comply with Section 4.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge, assignment or grant of security interest to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, central bank or a collateral trustee or security agent for holders of commercial paper; provided that no such pledge, assignment or grant of security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Union Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 12.11(b), Union Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower Parties and Lenders, resign as Letter of Credit Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower Parties will be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower Parties to appoint any such successor will affect the resignation of Union Bank as Letter of Credit Issuer. If Union Bank resigns as Letter of Credit Issuer, it will retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.07). Upon the appointment of a successor Letter of Credit Issuer: (i) such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer; and (ii) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer will issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Union Bank to effectively assume the obligations of Union Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

110

(i) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(j) [Reserved].

(k) [Reserved].

(l) [Reserved].

12.12 [Reserved].

12.13 Replacement of Funding Party. If (i) any Funding Party requests compensation under Section 4.04, (ii) any Borrower Party is required (or is likely to be required) to pay any additional amount to any Funding Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Funding Party pursuant to Section 4.01, (iii) any Funding Party gives notice pursuant to Section 4.03, (iv) any Funding Party does not provide any consent requested by Borrowers pursuant to Section 12.01, or (v) any Funding Party is a Defaulting Lender (in any such case, an “Affected Funding Party”), then Borrowers may, at its sole expense and effort:

(a) by notice to the applicable Funding Party and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elect to replace such Affected Funding Party as a Funding Party to this Credit Agreement with an Eligible Assignee procured by Borrowers, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided, further that, concurrently with such replacement, such Eligible Assignee shall agree to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Funding Party and to become a Funding Party for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Funding Party to be terminated as of such date. Each Affected Funding Party shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of Section 12.12. In the event that such an assignment occurs, the Eligible Assignee shall take such actions as the Agents shall reasonably request in connection therewith.

A Funding Party shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Funding Party or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply; or

(b) by notice to the applicable Funding Party, and with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elect to replace the Affected Funding Party with a Lender procured by Borrowers, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided, further that, concurrently with such replacement such replacement Lender shall agree to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to each Lender in the Affected Funding Party and to become a Funding Party for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Funding Party to be terminated as of such date. The Affected Funding Party shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of Section 12.11.

111

provided that (i) Borrowers shall have paid to Administrative Agent its customary processing and recordation fee; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; (ii) such Funding Party shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

12.14 Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, a Funding Party shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that a Funding Party ever receive, collect or apply as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the applicable Borrower Party. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, each Borrower Party and Funding Parties shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, the applicable Funding Party shall refund to the applicable Borrower Party the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Funding Parties shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then the Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.

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

12.16 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document, report, notice, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that a Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

12.17 Limited Liability of Investors. Except with respect to any expenses and direct or actual losses (as opposed to Consequential Damages) arising from any Managing Entity’s intentional misrepresentation hereunder, fraud, bad faith or willful misapplication of proceeds in contravention of this Credit Agreement, for which there shall be full recourse to such Managing Entity, none of the Investors, including the Managing Entities, shall have any personal, partnership, corporate or trust liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section 12.17 or in any of the other

112

provisions of the Loan Documents, or other reports, financial statements, notices or certificates delivered in connection herewith and therewith, shall be construed to limit, restrict, or impede the obligations, the liabilities, and indebtedness of any Borrower Party, or of any Investor to make its Capital Contributions to a Borrower in accordance with the terms of the applicable Governing Agreement and its Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.17, the payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrower Parties (but not the Managing Entities, except as expressly provided herein) and their respective properties and assets.

12.18 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors in each case on a reasonable need to know basis (it being understood that (x) the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and (y) the disclosing Person shall be responsible for the compliance by the foregoing Persons with this Section); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Credit Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section to which the Borrower Parties are intended third party beneficiaries entitled to enforce such agreement, to: (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement; or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower Parties; (g) on a confidential basis to: (i) any Rating Agency in connection with a rating of Borrower Parties or the credit facility provided hereunder; or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facility provided hereunder; (h) with the consent of the applicable Borrower Party; (i) to the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section; or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower Party or another Lender; or (j) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or Rating Agency, commercial paper dealer first loss provider, service provider, provider of credit enhancement or liquidity to such Lender or any Person providing financing to, or holding equity interest in, such Lender, any to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants or attorneys of any of the foregoing. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower Party relating to any Borrower Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person; provided that, in the case of information received from any Borrower Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

12.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower Party in respect of any such sum due from it to Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which

113

such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Administrative Agent from any Borrower Party in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Administrative Agent in such currency, Administrative Agent agrees to promptly return the amount of any excess to such Borrower Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

12.20 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Secured Party) hereby notifies Borrowers 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 Borrower Parties, which information includes the name and address of Borrower Parties and other information that will allow such Secured Party or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Borrower Party will, promptly following a request by Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Administrative Agent or such Letter of Credit Issuer or Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

12.21 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrowers and each other Borrower Party acknowledge and agree that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and the Arranger, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and each other Borrower Party, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Arranger, on the other hand; (ii) Borrowers and each other Borrower Party have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrowers and each other Borrower Party are capable of evaluating, and understands and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) each of Administrative Agent and the Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower or any other Borrower Party, or any other Person; and (ii) neither Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to any Borrower or any other Borrower Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of any Borrower or any other Borrower Party and their respective Affiliates, and neither Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower or any other Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrowers and each other Borrower Party hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent or the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

12.22 [Reserved].

12.23 [Reserved].

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

12.25 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Credit Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.

12.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE


$__________		__________, 20__

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, XXXXXXX XXXXX PRIVATE MIDDLE MARKET CREDIT II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Maker”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to [ ] (“Payee”) and its registered assigns, at the principal office of MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the account of each of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement referred to below at the principal office of MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”) or such other office as Administrative Agent designates, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, in lawful money of the United States of America or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, on the Maturity Date or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

2.	The unpaid principal amount of this promissory note (this “*Note”) shall be payable in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.02, 3.04*, and 12.14 of the Credit Agreement.

The unpaid principal amount of this Note shall bear interest from the date of borrowing until maturity in accordance with Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.13 and 12.14 of the Credit Agreement. Interest on this Note shall be payable in accordance with Sections 3.03, 3.04, and 12.14 of the Credit Agreement.

All Borrowings and continuations of Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, and all payments made with respect thereto, may be recorded by Payee from time to time on one or more grid(s) which may be attached hereto, or Payee may record such information by such other method as Payee may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way increase, reduce or diminish Maker’s obligations hereunder. The aggregate unpaid amount of all Borrowings and continuations of Eurodollar Rate Loans set forth on the grid(s) which may be attached hereto shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the unpaid principal amount of this Note.

This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2019 (as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Maker, Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the lenders and agents from time to time party thereto, and is one of the “Notes” referred to therein. This Note evidences Loans made under the Credit Agreement to Maker, and the holder of this Note shall be entitled to the benefits provided in the Credit Agreement.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned [QUALIFIED BORROWER], a [Qualified Borrower’s jurisdiction and type of entity] (the “Maker”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to [ ] (“Payee”) and its registered assigns, at the principal office of MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the account of each of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement referred to below at the principal office of MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”) or such other office as Administrative Agent designates, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, in lawful money of the United States of America or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, on the Maturity Date or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

2.	The unpaid principal amount of this promissory note (this “*Note”) shall be payable in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.02, 3.04*, and 12.14 of the Credit Agreement.

All Borrowings and continuations of Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, and all payments made with respect thereto, may be recorded by Administrative Agent from time to time on one or more grid(s) which may be attached hereto, or Administrative Agent may record such information by such other method as Administrative Agent may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way increase, reduce or diminish the Maker’s obligations hereunder. The aggregate unpaid amount of all Borrowings and continuations of Eurodollar Rate Loans set forth on the grid(s) which may be attached hereto shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the unpaid principal amount of this Note.

This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2019 (as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Private Middle Market Credit II LLC, as borrower, Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the lenders from time to time party thereto (“Lenders”) and agents from time to time party thereto, and is one of the “Qualified Borrower Notes” referred to therein.

Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement for a statement of: (a) the obligation of the Lenders to make advances hereunder; (b) the prepayment rights and obligations of the Maker; (c) the collateral for the repayment of this Note; and (d) the events upon which the maturity of this

Exhibit C – Page 1

Note may be accelerated. The Maker may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder upon the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement. The repayment of this Note is further secured by a guaranty of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any of the events described in Sections 10.01(g) or 10.01(h) of the Credit Agreement occur with respect to the Maker, then the principal of or accrued interest on, this Note shall become immediately due and payable in accordance with the Credit Agreement, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Maker.

If this Note, or any installment or payment due hereunder, is not paid when due, whether at maturity or by acceleration, or if it is collected through a bankruptcy or other court, whether before or after maturity, the Maker agrees to pay all out of pocket costs of collection, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees incurred by the holder hereof and costs of appeal as provided in the Credit Agreement. All past due principal of, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, past due interest on this Note, shall bear interest until paid at the Default Rate as provided in the Credit Agreement.

9.	By its execution hereof, the Maker hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement applicable to a Qualified Borrower as if it were a signature party thereto.

10.

11.	Except as permitted under Section 12.11 of the Credit Agreement, this Note may not be assigned to any other Person and any such purported assignment in contravention of such Section shall be void.

BORROWER GUARANTY

Dated , 20

The undersigned, [XXXXXXX XXXXX PRIVATE MIDDLE MARKET CREDIT II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company] (for the purposes of this Borrower Guaranty, herein referred to as “Guarantor”), hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees in favor of MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for the account of each of the Lenders (as defined below) under that certain Credit Agreement referred to below, the prompt payment when due of all interest, principal, fees, expenses and other amounts now or hereafter represented by, or arising in connection with: (a) that certain Qualified Borrower Promissory Note (the “Qualified Borrower Note”), dated , 20 in the face amount of $ , payable by (“Qualified Borrower”) to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including without limitation all liabilities and indebtedness represented or evidenced by any promissory note given in renewal, extension, modification or substitution of or for the Qualified Borrower Note; and (b) all payment obligations of Qualified Borrower under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Guaranteed Debt”). This is an unconditional guaranty of payment, and not a guaranty of collection, and Administrative Agent may enforce Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement without first suing, or enforcing its rights or remedies against, Qualified Borrower or any other obligor, or enforcing or collecting any present or future collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt. Unless otherwise defined in this guaranty agreement (this “Borrower Guaranty”), capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement referred to below.

Guarantor hereby waives notice of: (a) acceptance of this Borrower Guaranty; (b) the extension of credit by the Lenders to Qualified Borrower; (c) the occurrence of any breach or default by Qualified Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Debt; (d) the sale or foreclosure on any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt; (e) the transfer of the Guaranteed Debt to any third party to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement and to the extent that such notice is not required under the Credit Agreement; and (f) all other notices, except as otherwise required under the Credit Agreement.

Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to, and acknowledges that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged by, the following: (a) the renewal, extension, modification or alteration of the Qualified Borrower Note, the Guaranteed Debt or any related document or instrument; (b) any forbearance or compromise granted to Qualified Borrower by Administrative Agent or any Lender; (c) the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of Qualified Borrower; (d) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt; (e) the full or partial release of the Qualified Borrower or any other obligor; (f) the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, loss or impairment of any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt; (g) the failure of Administrative Agent to properly obtain, perfect or preserve any security interest or lien in any such collateral; (h) the failure of Administrative Agent to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness or reasonable care in the preservation, enforcement or sale of any such collateral; and (i) any other act or omission of Administrative Agent, any Lender or Qualified Borrower which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense in favor of Guarantor.

Exhibit D – Page 1

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Borrower Guaranty, until the Guaranteed Debt (other than any part of the Guaranteed Debt that represents contingent contractual indemnities and Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer have been made in accordance with the Credit Agreement) has been paid in full, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Administrative Agent) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from Qualified Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any obligations of Qualified Borrower to Administrative Agent, for any disbursement made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Borrower Guaranty or otherwise.

Guarantor represents and warrants that it has received or will receive direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Borrower Guaranty and the creation of the Guaranteed Debt, that Guarantor is familiar with the financial condition of Qualified Borrower and the value of any collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt, and that Administrative Agent has made no representations or warranties to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Borrower Guaranty.

This Borrower Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or dissolution of the Qualified Borrower, in each case as though such payment had not been made.

This Borrower Guaranty has been executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2019 (as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Xxxxxxx Sachs Private Middle Market Credit II LLC, as borrower, Administrative Agent, as administrative agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the lenders (together with such other lending institutions which become party to the Credit Agreement, or have been, or may hereafter be, assigned an interest as lender in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the “Lenders”) and agents from time to time party thereto. This Borrower Guaranty may be amended only by a written instrument executed by Guarantor and Administrative Agent.

Any suit, action or proceeding against Guarantor with respect to this Borrower Guaranty or any judgment entered by any court in respect hereof, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, or in the United States Courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and Guarantor hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding. Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said court in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.07 of the Credit Agreement. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Borrower Guaranty brought in the courts located in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has

Exhibit D – Page 2

been brought in an inconvenient forum. GUARANTOR, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS BORROWER GUARANTY, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.

10.

11.

On the full, final and complete satisfaction of the Guaranteed Debt (other than any part of the Guaranteed Debt that represents contingent contractual indemnities and Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer have been made in accordance with the Credit Agreement), this Guaranty and the rights of Administrative Agent hereunder shall be automatically released and of no further force or effect.

Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, is hereby authorized and empowered, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, on behalf of Fund and Managing Entity, to endorse the name of Fund [or Managing Entity, or both,] upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction or other document, agreement or item representing (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to any of the Subscription Agreements with respect to the Fund or the Governing Agreement, including without limitation, any Capital Contribution, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, including, but not limited to, any item evidencing payment upon a Capital Contribution of any person to Fund coming into Administrative Agent’s or any Secured Party’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

(a)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, shall have the right (subject to Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement and solely for the purpose of repaying the Obligations) to sell the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, upon credit or for future delivery and upon such other terms as Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, with Fund [and Managing Entity] hereby waiving all rights, if any, to require Administrative Agent to marshal the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations. Any notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made shall be deemed reasonable if made in accordance with applicable law. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. From time to time Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, postpone the time and change the place of any proposed sale of any of the Collateral for which notice has been given as provided above if, in the judgment of Administrative Agent, such postponement or change is necessary or appropriate in order that the provisions of this Security Agreement applicable to such sale may be fulfilled or in order to obtain more favorable conditions under which such sale may take place.

(b)

In case of any sale by Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Administrative Agent nor Secured Parties shall incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold. After deducting all costs or expenses for which Fund is liable pursuant to the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, or both, to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement), Administrative Agent shall apply the remainder of the proceeds of any sale or sales, if any, to pay the principal of and interest upon the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.05 in the Credit Agreement. If the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other remedy are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full, Fund shall remain liable for any deficiency in the payment of the Obligations and the reasonable fees of any attorney employed by Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect, to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement. In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties (or any Related Parties thereof) as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, neither Administrative Agent nor Secured Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral at any private sale or sales conducted in accordance with applicable law.

6.4

Exhibit E – Page 5

Parties; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Fund [and Managing Entity] that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse; and (iv) are intended to be and shall be, non-exclusive.

6.5

Subrogation. Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties in connection with an Event of Default, [Fund shall not be] [neither Fund nor Managing Entity shall be] subrogated thereby to any rights of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties against the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or Fund [or Managing Entity] or any property of Fund [or Managing Entity], nor shall Fund [or Managing Entity] be deemed to be the owner of any interest in the Obligations, nor shall Fund [or Managing Entity] exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Fund [or Managing Entity] or the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or any of them or the property of Fund [or Managing Entity] until the Obligations (other than contingent contractual indemnities and Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer have been made in accordance with the Credit Agreement) have been paid in full to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties.

Limitation on Liability. Regardless of any provision of this Security Agreement, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, or both (or any Related Person of any of the foregoing Persons), neither Administrative Agent nor Secured Parties shall be liable for the failure of Administrative Agent to collect or exercise diligence in the collection, possession or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Capital Calls, Capital Call Notices, Capital Contributions or Capital Commitments, or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and liens granted herein.

Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be delivered and deemed effective in accordance with Section 12.07 of the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, each member of the Borrower has entered into or will enter into a subscription agreement between itself and the Borrower as a condition of its admission as a member of the Borrower, and thereafter may amend, supplement or otherwise modify such subscription agreement pursuant to a transfer or other agreement, instrument or document (all such agreements, instruments, documents, amendments, supplements or modifications thereof, collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”);

Exhibit L – Page 1

2. Deposit of Subscription Agreements (and contact information). The Borrower may place into escrow a copy of one duly executed Subscription Agreement (and contact information) of each PWM Investor by Delivering (as defined below) such Subscription Agreement (and contact information) to the Escrow Agent prior to the delivery of a Loan Notice with respect to the initial Borrowing under the Credit Agreement. From time to time, if (x) any new PWM Investor is admitted as a member of the Borrower (whether by execution of a subscription agreement or upon transfer of interest from an existing member in the Borrower pursuant to a transfer agreement), (y) any PWM Investor changes the amount of its Capital Commitment pursuant to any other agreement, instrument or other document, or (z) the contact or other relevant information regarding any PWM Investor changes, the Borrower may Deliver a copy of the applicable Subscription Agreement (and contact information) for such PWM Investor, each executed or arising in connection with any of the foregoing to the Escrow Agent who shall hold such Subscription Agreements (and contact information) received in connection with the Credit Agreement. The Subscription Agreements (and contact information) shall be Released (as defined below) by the Escrow Agent solely in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.

3. Release Notice.

(a) Upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) receipt by the Escrow Agent of written notice (the “Release Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit A, executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such date, the “Release Date”), or (ii) receipt by the Escrow Agent of written notice (the “Administrative Agent Release Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit B, executed by the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed, the Escrow Agent shall Release the Subscription Agreements (and contact information) as provided in the applicable sentence of Section 3(b).

(b) Upon receipt of the Release Notice, if applicable, the Escrow Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days, Release the Subscription Agreements (and contact information) as specified in the Release Notice. Upon receipt of the Administrative Agent Release Notice, if applicable, the Escrow Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days, Release the Subscription Agreements (and contact information) as specified in the Administrative Agent Release Notice.

4. Administrative Agent’s Covenants.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall sign any Release Notice on the Release Date if the Release Notice is provided to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days in advance thereto.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not deliver an Administrative Agent Release Notice unless and until the applicable waiting periods provided in Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement, if any, have expired.

5. Delivery and Release.

(a) “Delivery” of a Subscription Agreement (and contact information) to the Escrow Agent may be effected by either “Electronic Delivery” or “Manual Delivery”. “Deliver” or “Delivered” shall have correlative meanings.

“Electronic Delivery” is accomplished by the Borrower (i) transferring a copy of the Subscription Agreements (and contact information) to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ Secure Enterprise File Transfer (“SEFT”) system as password protected electronic (.zip) files, or in such other format acceptable to the parties, and (ii) notifying the Escrow Agent in writing that the files are ready to be retrieved. The Escrow Agent shall transfer the password protected electronic files to the Escrow Agent’s secured electronic database (the “E-Room”). The Borrower shall also deliver to the Escrow Agent a sealed envelope containing the password to access the password protected electronic files. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate in the form attached as Exhibit C, once such electronic files containing Subscription Agreements

Exhibit L – Page 2

(and contact information) and a sealed envelope containing the password to unlock the password protected electronic files are delivered to the Escrow Agent. The delivery of this certificate shall constitute delivery pursuant to Sections 6.01(l), 8.01(f) or 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, the definition therein of “PWM Investor” or otherwise pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a receipt in the form attached as Exhibit D and provide a copy of such receipt to the Borrower. The delivery of this receipt shall constitute delivery pursuant to Sections 6.01(l), 8.01(f) or 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, the definition therein of “PWM Investor” or otherwise pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

“Manual Delivery” is accomplished by the Borrower delivering a copy of the Subscription Agreements (and contact information) to the Escrow Agent in boxes sealed by the Borrower. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate in the form attached as Exhibit C once such sealed boxes containing Subscription Agreements (and contact information) are delivered to the Escrow Agent. The delivery of this certificate shall constitute delivery pursuant to Sections 6.01(l), 8.01(f) or 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, the definition therein of “PWM Investor” or otherwise pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Upon receipt of the sealed boxes, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a receipt in the form attached as Exhibit D and provide a copy of such receipt to the Borrower. The delivery of this receipt shall constitute delivery pursuant to Sections 6.01(l), 8.01(f) or 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, the definition therein of “PWM Investor” or otherwise pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

(b) “Release” of a Subscription Agreement (and contact information) by the Escrow Agent may be effected by either “Electronic Release” or “Manual Release”. Subscription Agreements (and contact information) that have been sent to the Escrow Agent by Electronic Delivery shall be subject to Electronic Release, and Subscription Agreements (and contact information) that have been sent to the Escrow Agent by Manual Delivery shall be subject to Manual Release. “Released” shall have a correlative meaning.

“Electronic Release” to the Administrative Agent is accomplished by the Escrow Agent granting the Administrative Agent access to the E-Room and providing the sealed envelope(s) containing the password to the Administrative Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not open the sealed envelope(s) containing the password.

“Manual Release” to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is accomplished by the Escrow Agent making available the Subscription Agreements (and contact information) for collection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, respectively. The Escrow Agent shall not break the seal or otherwise open any boxes that were delivered to the Escrow Agent sealed and such boxes shall be released by the Escrow Agent with the original seal intact.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Agent may Release the Subscription Agreements (and contact information) only as and to the person or entity specified in a Release Notice or an Administrative Agent Release Notice, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the procedures described in this Escrow Agreement (or as a court of competent jurisdiction may order), and the Escrow Agent shall not open any sealed boxes or the sealed envelope containing any password.

6. Escrow Agent.

(a) The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Escrow Agreement against the Escrow Agent. In acting hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done, or omitted to be done, by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Exhibit L – Page 3

(b) The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature (including any facsimile) which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine, and may assume the validity and accuracy of any statement or assertion contained in such a writing or instrument and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instruction in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel in the event that a question or dispute arises with regard to the construction of any of the provisions hereof, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall not be required to use its own funds in the performance of any of its obligations or duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, and shall not be required to take any action which, in Escrow Agent’s sole and absolute judgment, could involve it in expense or liability, other than those actions to be performed in the ordinary course of business in its capacity as an escrow agent, unless furnished with security and indemnity which it deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be satisfactory.

(e) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and against all liabilities, losses, action, suits or proceedings at law or in equity and any other reasonable expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, which the Escrow Agent may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement or arising out of the existence of the escrow created hereunder, except to the extent the same shall be caused by the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In so agreeing to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Escrow Agent, the Borrower intends thereby to cover all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, and counsel fees and disbursements, which may be imposed upon or incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with its acceptance of appointment as the Escrow Agent hereunder or the performance of its duties hereunder, including any litigation arising from this Escrow Agreement. The terms of this paragraph (e) shall survive termination of this Escrow Agreement.

(f) The Escrow Agent may resign as Escrow Agent, and, upon its resignation, shall thereupon be discharged from any and all further duties and obligations under this Escrow Agreement by giving notice in writing of such resignation to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify a date upon which such resignation shall take effect. Upon the resignation of the Escrow Agent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall, within sixty (60) business days after receiving the foregoing notice from the Escrow Agent, designate a substitute escrow agent (the “Substitute Escrow Agent”), which Substitute Escrow Agent shall, upon its designation and notice of such designation to the Escrow Agent, succeed to all of the rights, duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder. In the event the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall not have delivered to the Escrow Agent a written designation of Substitute Escrow Agent within the aforementioned sixty (60) day period, together with the consent to such designation by the Substitute Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a Substitute Escrow Agent, and the costs of obtaining such appointment shall be reimbursable from the Borrower.

(g) In the event the Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with the instructions of the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to institute a xxxx of interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties, and the parties shall pay all costs, expenses and disbursements in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees. For purposes of this Escrow Agreement, the parties hereto agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware.

Exhibit L – Page 4

(h) The Borrower shall pay to the Escrow Agent, without duplication, as compensation for its services hereunder fees in the amount set forth in Schedule 1 (or as otherwise separately agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Escrow Agent). In the event the Escrow Agent renders any extraordinary services in connection with its duties as Escrow Agent at the request of the Borrower, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to additional reasonable compensation therefor.

(i) In the event that any party to this Escrow Agreement is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Escrow Agreement because of acts of God, strikes, equipment or transmission failure or damage reasonably beyond its control, or other cause reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable for damages to the other parties for any damages resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes. Performance under this Escrow Agreement shall resume when the affected party is able to perform substantially that party’s duties.

7. Notices. Any notice provided for in this Escrow Agreement shall be in writing or by a telecommunications device capable of creating a written record, and shall be effective (i) upon personal delivery thereof including, without limitation, by overnight mail and courier service or the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (ii) in the case of notice by such telecommunications device, when properly transmitted and confirmed by telephone, addressed to each party at the following address (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):
