The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Reference Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Reference Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark including any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Section 2. REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS

2.1 The Commitment.

(a) Committed Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender agrees, during the Availability Period to extend to the Borrowers of each Fund Group a revolving line of credit in Dollars.

(b) Limitation on Borrowings and Re-borrowings. Except as provided in Section 2.1(c) below, no Lender shall be required to advance any Borrowing, Rollover, or Conversion to a Fund Group hereunder if:

(i) after giving effect to such Borrowing, Rollover or Conversion: (A) the Principal Obligations of such Fund Group would exceed the Available Commitment of such Fund Group; or (B) the Principal Obligations owed to any Lender would exceed the Commitment of such Lender; or

(ii) the conditions precedent for such Borrowing in Section 6.2 have not been satisfied.

(c) Exceptions to Limitations. Conversions to Reference Rate Loans shall be permitted in the case of Section 2.1(b)(i) and Section 2.1(b)(ii) above, in each case, unless the Administrative Agent has otherwise accelerated the Obligations of the related Fund Group or exercised other rights that terminate the Commitments to such Fund Group under Section 10.2.

2.2 Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to make Loans to the Borrowers at any time and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount up to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment at any such time. Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in Sections 2.1(b) and 6 and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers of a Fund Group may borrow, repay without penalty or premium, and re-borrow hereunder, during the applicable Availability Period.

2.3 Manner of Borrowing.

(a) Request for Borrowing. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice by telephone, facsimile or electronic mail of the date of each requested Borrowing hereunder, which notice if by telephone shall be confirmed in writing (a “Request for Borrowing”), in the form of Exhibit E, and which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent. Each Request for Borrowing: (i) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (x) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of Borrowing in the case of a Reference Rate Loan and, (y) at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested date of Borrowing in the case of a SOFR Loan; and (ii) must specify: (A) the amount of such Borrowing; (B) the Interest Option; (C) the Interest Period therefor, if applicable; (D) the Fund Group making the Request for Borrowing; (E) the amount of each Borrowing attributable to each Borrower in such Fund Group; and (F) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day. Any Request for Borrowing received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed to have been given by the Borrowers on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Request for Borrowing submitted by a Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such Borrower that the conditions specified in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and, to the extent applicable, Section 6.3 and/or Section 6.4, have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Borrowing with respect to the applicable Borrower’s Fund Group. No Request for Borrowing shall be valid hereunder for any purpose unless it shall have been accompanied or preceded by the information and other documents required to be delivered in accordance with this Section.

(b) Further Information. Each Request for Borrowing shall be accompanied or preceded by: (i) a duly executed Borrowing Base Certificate for the related Fund Group dated the date of such Request for Borrowing; and (ii) such documents as are required to satisfy any applicable conditions precedent as provided in Section 6.2.

(c) Request for Borrowing Irrevocable. Each Request for Borrowing completed and signed by the Borrowers of a Fund Group in accordance with Section 2.3(a) shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers of such Fund Group, and in the case of any Borrowing that the related Request for Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of a SOFR Loan, the Borrowers of the applicable Fund Group shall indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or expense incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the Borrowers to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Request for Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6.2, either directly or indirectly including any cost, loss or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender in order to fund such requested Borrowing except to the extent such cost, loss or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount of any such cost, loss or expense, and the basis for the determination thereof and the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the Borrowers of the applicable Fund Group and shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

(d) Lender Funding Shall be Proportional. Each Lender shall make each requested Loan in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.

(e) Rollovers. No later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the termination of each Interest Period related to a SOFR Loan, the Borrowers of the applicable Fund Group shall give the Administrative Agent written notice at the Agency Services Address (which notice may be via fax or electronic mail) in the form of Exhibit G (the “Rollover Notice”) whether it desires to renew such SOFR Loan. The Rollover Notice shall also specify the length of the Interest Period selected by the Borrowers of such Fund Group with respect to such Rollover. Each Rollover Notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrowers of such Fund Group fail to timely give the Administrative Agent the Rollover Notice with respect to any SOFR Loan, the Borrowers of such Fund Group shall be deemed to have elected the Reference Rate as the Interest Option with respect to such Loan.

(f) Conversions. The Borrowers of each Fund Group shall have the right, with respect to: (i) any Reference Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “SOFR Conversion Date”), to convert such Reference Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan; and (ii) any SOFR Loan on any Business Day (a “Reference Rate Conversion Date”) to convert such SOFR Loan to a Reference Rate Loan, provided that the Borrowers of the applicable Fund Group shall, on such SOFR Conversion Date or Reference Rate Conversion Date, make the payments required by Section 4.5, if any, in either case, by giving the Administrative Agent written notice at the Agency Services Address in the form of Exhibit G (a “Conversion Notice”) of such selection no later than 11:00 a.m. at least either (x) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such SOFR Conversion Date or (y) one (1) Business Day prior to such Reference Rate Conversion Date, as applicable. Each Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent. A request of the Borrowers in a Fund Group for a Conversion of a Reference Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan is subject to the condition that no Fund Group Event of Default or Fund Group Potential Default in respect of such Fund Group exists at the time of such request or after giving effect to such Conversion.

(g) Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no more than ten (10) SOFR Loans per Fund Group may be outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period.

(h) Administrative Agent Notification of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the receipt of a Request for Borrowing, a Conversion Notice or a Rollover Notice, the amount of the Borrowing and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, the date the Borrowing is to be made, the Interest Option selected, the Interest Period selected, if applicable, the applicable rate of interest, and the Fund Group requesting such Borrowing.

2.4 Minimum Loan Amounts. Each SOFR Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $500,000 and each Reference Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $25,000 for each Lender; provided that a Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Available Commitment of the applicable Fund Group.

2.5 Funding.

(a) Funding of Borrowings. Subject to the fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified in the Request for Borrowing as the borrowing date, in immediately available funds, and, upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall deposit such proceeds in immediately available funds in the applicable Borrower’s account maintained with the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the borrowing date or, if requested by the Borrowers of a Fund Group in the Request for Borrowing, shall wire-transfer such funds as requested on or before such time. If a Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, then the Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to advance any portion of a requested Borrowing that a Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Obligations of Lenders Several. The liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to the Borrowers only for the amount of its respective Commitment.

2.6 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Each Loan funded by the Lenders shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to: (i) with respect to SOFR Loans, Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for the applicable Interest Period; and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans, the Reference Rate in effect from day to day. At any time, each Loan shall have only one Interest Period and one Interest Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the interest rate hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate.

(b) Change in Rate; Past Due Amounts; Calculations of Interest. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing consisting of Reference Rate Loans shall become effective, without prior notice to the applicable Credit Parties, automatically as of the opening of business of the Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of (i) each SOFR Loan and Reference Rate Loan bearing interest based off SOFR shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and (ii) each Reference Rate Loan (other than when the Reference Rate is calculated based off SOFR) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

(c) Default Rate. If a Fund Group Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Fund Group, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) above) all Obligations of such Fund Group shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Default Rate.

2.7 Determination of Rate. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the SOFR Loans and Reference Rate Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall, upon request, give notice to the Borrowers and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

2.8 [Reserved].

2.9 Qualified Borrowers. In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower that has joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 6.3 and to accept the Qualified Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the Borrowers hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, within the limits of the Available Commitment of the applicable Fund Group, to disburse directly to the Lenders, with notice to the Borrowers of the related Fund Group, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount due and owing under any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note or any Qualified Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, costs and expenses and fees due to the Lenders pursuant thereto, as a Borrowing hereunder, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers of the applicable Fund Group of any disbursement made to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be a Reference Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 in the amount so paid, and the Borrowers of

the applicable Fund Group shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3, a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Lenders as to the amount of any such Obligations due to the Lenders, absent manifest error.

2.10 Use of Proceeds and Borrower Guaranties.

(a) The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely for purposes expressly permitted under the Constituent Documents of each Borrower in the applicable Fund Group and for which a Capital Call may be issued to fund repayment thereof. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Borrowers’ use of the proceeds of the Loans, or execution and delivery of the Borrower Guaranties, and neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not the Borrowers’ use of the proceeds of the Loans are for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Borrower. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any Rollover or acceptance of any Qualified Borrower Guaranty or other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by the Borrowers is permitted by the terms of the Constituent Documents of any Borrower.

(b) In each Request for Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall identify the use of proceeds for the related Loan, and if such Borrower intends to use such proceeds to acquire an asset from, extend a loan to, or purchase an equity interest in, any Person, then such Borrower in the related Request for Borrowing shall also provide the Administrative Agent with the full legal name of the Person selling such asset or issuing such equity interest or the Person to whom such loan is extended. Each Borrower agrees to respond promptly to any reasonable requests for information related to its use of Loan proceeds to the extent required by any Lender in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s determination of its compliance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 371c) and Regulation W. No Borrower shall, to its knowledge, use the proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder, directly or indirectly to (x) purchase securities or assets from or otherwise transfer the proceeds to or for the benefit of any Lender’s “affiliate” (as such term is defined in Regulation W), or (y) invest in any fund advised by a Lender or an “affiliate” thereof (as such term is defined in Regulation W).

2.11 Fees. The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent fees in consideration of the arrangement and administration of the Commitments, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter. The applicable Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees as are payable in the amount and on the date agreed to between the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

2.12 Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3, the Borrowers of a Fund Group shall pay or cause to be paid the unused commitment fees with respect to the applicable Fund Group Facility Sublimit to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.

2.13 [Reserved].

2.14 [Reserved].

2.15 Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Fund Group Event of Default or Fund Group Potential Default, and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.15, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent to be given in its sole and absolute discretion, the Borrowers may increase the Maximum Commitment to an agreed upon amount. Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases each in $5,000,000 increments thereof, or such lesser amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent (each such increase, shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”); provided that no more than four increases to the Maximum Commitment may be requested in any calendar year. In connection with each Facility Increase, the Borrowers may increase any Fund Group Facility Sublimit.

(b) Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date of any Facility Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”) which (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent) shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Facility Increase Request and shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the Increase Effective Date.

(i) The Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request and resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect;

(ii) On or prior to the Increase Effective Date, the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Fee;

(iii) If applicable, the applicable Borrowers shall execute applicable replacement Notes payable to the Administrative Agent reflecting the Facility Increase;

(iv) no Fund Group Event of Default or Fund Group Potential Default with respect to any Fund Group shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which the Facility Increase Request is delivered or immediately after giving effect to the Facility Increase;

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

(vi) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to each Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, if so requested by the Administrative Agent prior to the Increase Effective Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Credit Facility. No Lender will be required to commit, nor shall any Lender have any preemptive right, to provide any portion of any Facility Increase.

(d) Reallocation Following Facility Increase. On any Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility Increase (whether pursuant to a new Lender joining the Credit Facility or an existing Lender increasing its Commitment), the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Loans hereunder (including any Loans made by any new or increasing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15) such that, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of each Lender’s (including each new or increasing Lender’s) share of outstanding Loans to its share of Commitments is the same as that of each other Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans from an existing Lender to a new or increasing Lender. In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, the (i) Administrative Agent will give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable timing period in Section 2.3 to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (ii) applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Loans being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans. In connection with such repayment made with respect to such reallocation (to the extent such repayment is required), the Borrowers shall pay (i) all interest due on the amount repaid to the date of repayment on the immediately following Interest Payment Date and (ii) any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.5 as a result of such reallocation occurring on any date other than an Interest Payment Date.

Section 3. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Revolving Credit Notes. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may request that the Loans to a Fund Group be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each Borrower in such Fund Group shall execute and deliver a Note or Notes in the form of Exhibit B (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), in favor of the applicable Lender. Each Borrower in a Fund Group agrees, from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to reissue a new Note in respect of such Fund Group, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and such previously issued Note shall be returned to such Borrower marked “replaced”.

3.2 Payment of Obligations. The Principal Obligations of a Fund Group outstanding on the Maturity Date with respect to such Fund Group, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other outstanding Obligations of such Fund Group, shall be due and payable on such Maturity Date.

3.3 Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest. Interest on each Borrowing by a Fund Group and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents applicable to such Fund Group as of the date of the disbursement or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.6, notwithstanding whether the Borrowers of a Fund Group 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 to a Fund Group by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from the Borrowers of such Fund Group in accordance with the related Request for Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s account described in Section 3.4, or any other account of the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers of the applicable Fund Group.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of each Fund Group shall be due and payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Fund Group Event of Default with respect to such Fund Group, at any time upon demand by the Administrative Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable by the applicable Fund Group in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

3.4 Payments on the Obligations.

(a) Credit Party Payments. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations of the applicable Fund Group under this Credit Agreement by any Borrower in such Fund Group to or for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, shall be made without condition or deduction or counterclaim, set-off, defense or recoupment by the Borrowers in the applicable Fund Group for receipt by the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m. in federal or other immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the account designated by Administrative Agent in Schedule V hereto, as such schedule may be amended or modified by the Administrative Agent upon written notice to the Borrowers. Funds received after 1:00 p.m. shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds. All payments shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Lender Payments. Except as provided in Section 12.12, each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree

that payments to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers of a Fund Group of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations of such Fund Group by such Borrowers to or for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, the applicable Notes and the other applicable Loan Documents shall constitute satisfaction of such Borrowers’ obligations with respect to any such payments, and the Administrative Agent shall indemnify, and each Lender shall hold harmless, the Borrowers of such Fund Group from any claims asserted by any Lender in connection with the Administrative Agent’s duty to distribute and apportion such payments to the Lenders in accordance with this Section 3.4.

(c) Application of Payments. So long as no Fund Group Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Fund Group, all payments made on the Obligations of such Fund Group shall be applied as directed by the Borrowers of such Fund Group. At all times when a Fund Group Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Fund Group, all payments made on the Obligations of such Fund Group shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner: (i) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including attorneys’ fees) arising under the terms hereof; (ii) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations of such Fund Group as of the date of such payment; (iii) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations of such Fund Group as of the date of such payment; and (iv) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations of such Fund Group.

3.5 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. A Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay one or more Loans with respect to its Fund Group in whole or in part without premium or penalty on any Business Day; provided that: (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of SOFR Loans and one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Reference Rate Loans; and (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such written notice is given by a Borrower, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations of the applicable Fund Group held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of voluntary prepayment hereunder may be rescinded by a Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the date of prepayment.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment; Excess Loans Outstanding.

(i) If on any day the Principal Obligations of a Fund Group exceed the Available Commitment of such Fund Group (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event or from any pro forma calculation taking into account a pending Investor Transfer or permitted withdrawal), then the Borrowers of such Fund Group shall pay without further demand such excess to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds by the Required Payment Time. Each Borrower hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may withdraw from any Collateral Account of such Fund Group any Capital Contributions deposited therein and apply the same to the Principal Obligations of such Fund Group owing by such Borrower upon notice and until such time as the payment obligations owing by such Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) have been satisfied in full.

(ii) To the extent that the Incremental Available Amount is utilized for any Borrowing hereunder, the applicable Borrowers shall repay, without further demand, the Principal Obligations of such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds by the date that is no later than thirty (30) days from the date such Borrowing was incurred.

3.6 Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Request for Borrowing is outstanding, the Borrowers of a Fund Group may terminate the Commitments with respect to such Fund Group, or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrowers in such notice and shall be a Business Day): (i) in the case of complete termination of the Commitments, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3; or (ii) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Principal Obligations relating to any Fund Group exceed the reduced Available Commitment of such Fund Group resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or multiples thereof; and (y) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrowers reduce the Maximum Commitment to $5,000,000 or less (in each case, except for a termination of all the Commitments). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Share.

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

3.8 Joint and Several Liability of each Fund Group. Each Borrower acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants the following:

(a) Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the account of the Borrowers of each Fund Group in part based upon the assurances by each Borrower in such Fund Group that such Borrower desires that all Obligations of such Fund Group under the Loan Documents in respect of such Fund Group be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Borrowers within a Fund Group, should the Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

(b) Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers within a Fund Group shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Loans in respect of such Fund Group and the other Obligations of all Borrowers within such Fund Group, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of such Loans and other Obligations in respect of such Fund Group against any one or more of such Borrowers in such Fund Group. For the avoidance of doubt, no Borrower shall be liable for the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of any Borrower that is not in its Fund Group.

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

(d) Fund Groups. For the avoidance of doubt, no Borrower is liable to repay any Obligation of any other Fund Group.

Section 4. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1 Taxes.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction

or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.1(b) above, the Credit Parties in a Fund Group shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes relating to such Fund Group.

(d) Tax Indemnification. (i) The Credit Parties within a Fund Group shall severally but not jointly indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes relating to such Fund Group (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.1) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers of a Fund Group by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (x) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested in writing by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested in writing by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.1(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)

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

(B)

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

(i)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals or copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or

reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii)

executed originals or copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

(C)

any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender (and from time to time thereafter

upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals or copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)

each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.1(f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.1(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.1(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to

such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 4.1(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Credit Party Obligations Not Joint. Each Credit Party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall be several, and not joint, and each Credit Party shall be liable only for its own obligations hereunder.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

4.2 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans or the Obligations or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to the Reference Rate to be Loans calculated by SOFR or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to SOFR to be Loans calculated by reference to clause (iii) of the definition of Reference Rate (where the Reference Rate is also calculated based off SOFR in accordance with the definition thereof), shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist). Upon receipt of such notice that a Lender cannot make or continue Loans based on the SOFR rate: (i) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such affected Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert SOFR Loans to Reference Rate Loans (with an interest rate that shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the SOFR rate component of the Reference Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such affected Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain SOFR Loans, then immediately; and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such affected Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the SOFR rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Reference Rate applicable to such affected Lender without reference to the SOFR rate component thereof until Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such affected Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the SOFR rate; provided, however, that if as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Term SOFR determination day the Term SOFR Reference Rate for the applicable tenor has not been published by the Term SOFR Administrator and a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate has not occurred, then Term SOFR will be the Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor as published by the Term SOFR Administrator on the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor was published by the Term SOFR Administrator so long as such first preceding U.S. Government

Securities Business Day is not more than three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such Term SOFR determination day. Upon any prepayment of any such Loans, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice or suspension and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

4.3 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent determines, for any proposed Interest Period, that: (i) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of any SOFR Loan; or (ii) SOFR does not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining any SOFR Loan, then: (A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and the Borrowers; and (B) while such circumstances exist, none of the Lenders shall allocate any Loans made during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any then-existing Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to SOFR. If, with respect to any outstanding Interest Period, a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Loans or that SOFR applicable to such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, then: (x) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders; and (y) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist, the applicable Lender shall not make any SOFR Loans during such period or reallocate any Loans allocated to any Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to SOFR; provided that, (I) if the forgoing notice relates to Loans that are outstanding as SOFR Loans, such Loans shall be Converted to Reference Rate Loans only on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, and (II) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any outstanding Requests for Borrowing. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers when the circumstances described in this Section 4.3 cease to exist and any Loan converted to a Reference Rate Loan or not converted to a SOFR Loan shall be converted on the last day of the then-current Interest Period to a SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of the same duration as the Interest Period that was in effect immediately prior to the conversion of such SOFR Loan to a Reference Rate Loan (or the duration selected in the event of any Loan that was not converted from a Reference Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan).

4.4 Increased Cost and Capital Adequacy.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. 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 advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in Adjusted Term SOFR);

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

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or other Recipient, the applicable Borrowers shall promptly pay to any such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in each case relating to the applicable Fund Group in accordance with Section 4.4(c).

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender, the applicable Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered relating to such Fund Group in accordance with Section 4.4(c).

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in Section 4.4(a) or Section 4.4(b) shall be delivered to the applicable Borrowers in the event that any such amounts are requested thereunder and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown relating to such Fund Group as due on any such certificate by the Required Payment Time.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’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 shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.5 Funding Losses. Promptly following demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers of any applicable Fund Group shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender harmless from, any actual out-of-pocket loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties as a result of (a) any failure or refusal of the Borrowers of such Fund Group (for any reasons whatsoever other than a default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) to accept a Loan after the Borrowers of such Fund Group shall have requested such Loan under this Credit Agreement, (b) any prepayment or other payment of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, (c) any other prepayment of a Loan that is otherwise not made in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Borrowers of such Fund Group to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under this Credit Agreement, that such prepayment will be made. Any such payments shall be made by the Required Payment Time.

4.6 Requests for Compensation. If requested by one or more Borrowers of any applicable Fund Group in connection with any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4, a Lender shall provide to the Borrowers of such Fund Group, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount required to be paid by the Borrowers of such Fund Group to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount, such certificate to be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. This Section 4.6 shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers of such Fund Group or any other Person. Any such amount payable by the Borrowers of such Fund Group shall not be duplicative of any amounts (a) previously paid under this Section 4, or (b) included in the calculation of SOFR.

4.7 Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, all of the Borrowers’ rights and obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Credit Agreement or any provision hereof. Each Lender shall notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the termination of this Credit Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 4 as promptly as practicable.

4.8 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.4, or requires any Borrower to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 4.1, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 4.8(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then one or more Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.11), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 4.1) and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) one or more Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.11;

(ii) such Lender 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 this Section 4) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal) or the Borrowers (in the case of accrued interest, fees and all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and

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

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

4.9 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

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

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.9(d) and the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period pursuant to Section 4.9(e). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.9, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.9.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

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

Section 5. SECURITY

5.1 Liens and Security Interest.

(a) Capital Commitments and Capital Calls.

(i) To secure performance by a Feeder Fund in a Fund Group of the payment and the performance of its obligations to the related Borrower or Blocker, as applicable, in such Fund Group, such Feeder Fund and its Feeder Fund General Partner, each to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to the related Borrower or Blocker, as applicable, in such Fund Group a first priority, exclusive, perfected security interest and Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and on their Collateral pursuant to a Feeder Fund Security Agreement, the related financing statements and the other related documents.

(ii) To secure performance by a Blocker in a Fund Group of the payment and the performance of its obligations to the Borrower in such Fund Group, such Blocker and its Blocker Managing Member, each to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to the Borrower in such Fund Group a first priority, exclusive, perfected security interest and Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and on their Collateral pursuant to a Blocker Security Agreement, the related financing statements and the other related documents.

(iii) To secure performance by the Borrowers in a Fund Group of the payment and the performance of the Obligations of such Fund Group, the Borrowers and the related Borrower General Partners of such Fund Group, each to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, a first priority, exclusive, perfected security interest and Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and on the Collateral applicable to the Fund Group pursuant to their respective Borrower Security Agreements, the related financing statements and the other related documents.

(b) Reliance. With respect to a Fund Group, the Fund Group Parties in such Fund Group agree that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has entered into this Credit Agreement, extended credit hereunder to such Fund Group and at the time of each Loan to such Fund Group will make such Loan in reasonable reliance on the obligations of the Investors in such Fund Group to fund their respective Capital Commitments as shown in their Subscription Agreements and accepted by the applicable Borrower or Feeder Fund, as applicable, and delivered in connection herewith and accordingly, it is the intent of the parties that such Capital Commitments may be enforced by the Administrative Agent (acting as agent for the applicable Borrower (and not in its own capacity), as and to the extent contemplated by Section 1.7), and ultimately for the benefit of the Lenders and other Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, directly against the Investors without further action by the applicable Borrower or Borrower General Partner or the applicable Feeder Fund or the Feeder Fund General Partner, as applicable, during the continuance of an Event of Default, and notwithstanding any compromise of any such Capital Commitment by the applicable Borrower or Borrower General Partner or the applicable Feeder Fund or the Feeder Fund General Partner, as applicable, after the Closing Date as provided in 6 Del. C. §17-502(b)(1).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to the Capital Calls issued by the Borrowers, the Feeder Funds or the Blockers. None of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party, or a Subscription Agreement or any Side Letter, or take any other action with respect to any other matter that might arise in connection with the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party, a Subscription Agreement, a Side Letter 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 any Credit Party or any of the Investors. None of them shall have any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Capital Call by any Credit Party or the Investment or use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) Capital Calls and Disbursements from Collateral Accounts. The Borrowers in a Fund Group shall issue, and, as applicable, (i) in accordance with the applicable Feeder Fund Acknowledgment and Confirmation, directly or indirectly cause the related Feeder Fund to issue and (ii) in accordance with the applicable Blocker Acknowledgment and Confirmation, directly or indirectly cause the related Blocker to issue, Capital Calls at such times as are necessary in order to ensure the timely payment of the Obligations of such Fund Group hereunder.

Amounts in any applicable Feeder Fund Collateral Account and any applicable Blocker Collateral Account shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.18.

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

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

5.4 Subordination. During the continuance of a Cash Control Event with respect to any particular Fund Group, no Credit Party in such Fund Group shall make any payments or advances of any kind, directly or indirectly, on any debts and liabilities to any other Credit Party in such Fund Group, any Investor in such Fund Group or the Investment Manager whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct, indirect, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and howsoever evidenced or created (collectively with respect to the applicable Fund Group, the “Other Claims”). All Other Claims, together with all Liens on assets securing the payment of all or any portion of the Other Claims shall at all times during the continuance of a Cash Control Event, in each case, with respect to any Fund Group, be subordinated to and inferior in right and in payment to the Obligations of such Fund Group and all Liens on assets securing all or any portion of the Obligations of such Fund Group, and each Credit Party in such Fund Group agrees to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to provide for such subordination between it and any other Credit Party in such Fund Group, inter se, including but not limited to including provisions for such subordination in the documents evidencing the Other Claims. The Investment Manager acknowledges and agrees that at any time a Fund Group Event of Default or a Fund Group Potential Default pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(i) has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Fund Group and there are Obligations outstanding with respect to such Fund Group, the payment of any and all management or other fees due and owing to it from any Credit Party in such Fund Group shall be subordinated to and inferior in right and payment to the Obligations of such Fund Group in all respects; provided that, such management fees may be paid from a source other than the Collateral Accounts of such Fund Group and the proceeds of Capital Contributions of such Fund Group.

10.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. (a) If a Fund Group Event of Default shall have occurred with respect to a Fund Group, then the Administrative Agent may with respect to such Fund Group (and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders) and, if applicable, subject to the right of the Borrowers in such Fund Group to initiate Capital Calls to cure such Event of Default or repay the Obligations of such Fund Group in full prior to the exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent contained in Section 10.2(b): (i) suspend the available Commitment of the Lenders with respect to such Fund Group; (ii) terminate the available Commitment of the Lenders with respect to such Fund Group hereunder and declare the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respect to the Obligations of such Fund Group; (iii) declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, the Obligations of such Fund Group to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind (other than notice of such declaration) all of which the Credit Parties in such Fund Group hereby expressly waive, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (iv) exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 and the Collateral Documents with respect to such Fund Group, including, but not limited to, the initiation of Capital Calls of the Uncalled Capital Commitments with respect to such Fund Group; (v) suspend the obligation of the Lenders to maintain SOFR Loans with respect to such Fund Group and (vi) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to such Fund Group, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any Applicable Law or agreement; provided that if any Event of Default specified in Sections 10.1(h) or 10.1(i) shall occur with respect to a Fund Group, the principal of, and all interest on, the Obligations with respect to such Fund Group shall thereupon become due and payable concurrently therewith, without any further action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, 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 of the Credit Parties in such Fund Group hereby expressly waives.

(b) Actions with Respect to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized, in the name of the Secured Parties or the name of any Credit Party in such Fund Group, at any time or from time to time during the existence of a Fund Group Event of Default with respect to such Credit Party’s Fund Group, to: (i) initiate one or more Capital Calls to the Investors of such Fund Group in order to pay the Obligations of such Fund Group then due and owing, so long as such Capital Call will be paid to the applicable Collateral Account of the applicable Credit Party in such Fund Group (or, solely in the case that any applicable Collateral Account is closed, frozen or subject to an order of a Governmental Authority or the Account Bank that would restrict such payments from being paid to such Collateral Account, then to such other account as directed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), (ii) take or bring in any applicable Credit Party’s name, or that of the Secured Parties, all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of payments of the Capital Commitments of the Investors of such Fund Group, (iii) complete any contract or agreement of any applicable Credit Party in any way related to payment of any of such Capital Commitments, (iv) make allowances or adjustments related to the Capital Commitments of the Investors of such Fund Group, (v) compromise any claims related to the Capital Commitments of the Investors of such Fund Group, (vi) issue credit in its own name or the name of any applicable Credit Party; or (vii) exercise any other right, privilege, power, or remedy provided to any applicable Credit Party under its respective

104

Constituent Documents and the Subscription Agreements of the Investors of such Fund Group with respect to the Capital Commitments of such Investors. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Capital Calls or the Capital Commitment or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and Liens relating to the Capital Commitment of the Investors of such Fund Group, subject to the Internal Revenue Code. The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Borrowers notice of actions taken pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) prior to or concurrently with the taking of such action, but its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action, nor shall such failure give rise to defenses to the applicable Borrowers’ or Feeder Fund’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, during the continuance of a Fund Group Event of Default with respect to such Fund Group, the Credit Parties of such Fund Group shall be authorized to issue Capital Calls of the Investors of such Fund Group only with the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default (other than those described in Section 10.1(f), (h), (i), (q), (r), (s) (but solely in the case of Section 10.1(s) with respect to the applicable Credit Party) or (t)), if such Event of Default can be cured by the funding of Uncalled Capital Commitments of the Investors of such Fund Group or the applicable Borrowers obtain the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and certify following the occurrence of such an Event of Default that they will repay the Obligations of such Fund Group in full, then prior to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, exercising its right to issue Capital Calls to such Investors or exercising any other remedy provided for herein or in any other Loan Documents or provided by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent shall be required to give five (5) Business Days written notice (the “Initial Notice Period”) of its intention to exercise such remedies and, if, at any time prior to or during such Initial Notice Period, the applicable Borrowers and/or the applicable Feeder Funds shall issue a Capital Call to the Investors of such Fund Group sufficient to cure such Event of Default or repay the Obligations of such Fund Group, then the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not exercise such remedies with respect to any applicable Borrowers and/or the applicable Feeder Funds until the Business Day following the Initial Payment Date (as defined below); provided, that: (i) such Capital Call as issued by such Borrowers or such Feeder Funds must require the applicable Investors to fund their related Capital Contribution within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such Capital Call (such tenth (10th) Business Day being the “Initial Payment Date”); (ii) the Capital Contributions and all other amounts paid by the Investors in respect of such Capital Call are deposited into the applicable Collateral Account; and (iii) each applicable Borrower directs (or causes the applicable Feeder Fund to direct) the applicable Account Bank that such Capital Contributions and other payments by the Investors shall be withdrawn by the Administrative Agent to cure the default giving rise to such Event of Default and/or prepay the Obligations of such Fund Group in their entirety; provided, further that nothing in this Section 10.2 shall prohibit the Administrative Agent or any Lender from exerting control over (i) the applicable Collateral Account during the continuance of a Cash Control Event with respect to such Fund Group and taking any such actions as may be required to protect their rights in a bankruptcy proceeding or exercising any remedies if may have with respect to (ii) any Fund Group Event of Default with respect to such Fund Group pursuant to Section 10.1(f), (h), (i), (q), (r), (s) (but solely in the case of Section 10.1(s), with respect to the applicable Credit Party) or (t)

105

or any other Fund Group Event of Default with respect to such Fund Group that shall have occurred and be continuing that cannot be cured by the funding of Uncalled Capital Commitments of such Fund Group or which was triggered by the failure of any applicable Borrower to issue a Capital Call upon its Investors following a mandatory prepayment event pursuant to Section 3.5(b) hereof and/or make such mandatory prepayment following the receipt of such related Capital Contributions, in each case, as required by this Credit Agreement.

(c) Additional Action by the Administrative Agent. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Fund Group Event of Default, issuance by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties of a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any capital contribution to such Fund Group shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such Person to the extent of any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties so long as such amounts shall not be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any insolvency law, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized and empowered, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Fund Group Event of Default, in the name of or on behalf of any Credit Party in such Fund Group, to endorse the name of any such Credit Party upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or items, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon a Capital Contribution of any Person to any Credit Party in such Fund Group coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Fund Group Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of any Credit Party in such Fund Group, either before or after demand of payment of the Obligations of such Fund Group, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, to protect the first priority security interests and Liens in the Collateral of such Fund Group, (subject to Permitted Liens) or the repayment of the Obligations of such Fund Group, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties, in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney.

The application by the Administrative Agent of such funds shall, unless the Lenders shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 3.4. The Credit Parties acknowledge that all funds so transferred into the applicable Collateral Accounts shall be the property of the applicable Borrower, the applicable Feeder Fund, or the applicable Blocker, as applicable, subject to the first priority, security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Borrower (or the Secured Party’s Agent for the benefit of the related Borrower or Blocker), as applicable, therein.

10.3 Lender Offset. If a Fund Group Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, with respect to such Fund Group, 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 or any such Affiliate to or for the credit

106

or the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party in such Fund Group against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower or such Credit Party in such Fund Group now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of any Borrower or such Credit Party in such Fund Group may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the applicable Credit Parties and the 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.

10.4 Performance by the Administrative Agent. Should any Credit Party with respect to a Fund Group fail to perform any applicable covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person. In such event, the Credit Parties in such Fund Group shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent at its designated Agency Services Address, 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 the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of the Credit Parties in such Fund Group, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Credit Party, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall the Administrative Agent or the Lenders be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Credit Party, or any related Person.

10.5 Good Faith Duty to Cooperate. In the event that the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders elect to commence the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 as a result of the occurrence of any Fund Group Event of Default with respect to a Fund Group, the Credit Parties in such Fund Group agree to cooperate in good faith with the Administrative Agent to enable the Administrative Agent to issue Capital Calls and enforce the payment thereof by the Investors relating to such Fund Group in accordance with the Loan Documents, including but not limited to providing the contact information in the possession of the applicable Credit Parties or any Affiliate or service provider thereof for each such Investor within two (2) Business Days of receipt of a written request, subject to Section 12.17.

107

Section 11. AGENCY PROVISIONS.

11.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

(a) Authority. Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) (collectively with such Lender, a “Lender Party”) hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, nor shall any Agent have or been deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and none of the Credit Parties, any Investor, or any Affiliate of the foregoing (each, a “Borrower Party”) shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except for the provisions that explicitly relate to the Credit Parties in Section 11.10).

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

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

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

108

11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. No Agent nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact (each such person, an “Agent-Related Person”), shall be liable to any Lender Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or be responsible in any manner to any Lender Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for therein, or received by such Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Borrower Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly provided for hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the no Agent-Related Person shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent-Related Person to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. No Agent-Related Person shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Agent-Related Person in any capacity. No Agent-Related Person shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent-Related Person shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrowers or a Lender. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower Party in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Agent-Related Person to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties to the Agent-Related Person or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties. The Agents are not trustees for the Lenders and owe neither any fiduciary or other implied duty to the Lenders, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. No Agent-Related Person (other than in its capacity as a Lender) shall be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur liability,

109

financial or otherwise, in performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Credit Agreement. Each Lender Party recognizes and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Sections 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) have been satisfied and, when Administrative Agent disburses funds to Borrowers or accepts any Qualified Borrower Guaranties, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by a Borrower Party.

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

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

11.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its

110

own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

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

11.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent (and any successor acting as an Agent) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Borrower Party (or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as though such Agent were not an Agent or a Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower Parties or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Loans made and all obligations owing to it, an Agent acting in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

111

11.9 Successor Agents.

(a) Resignation of Administrative Agent. (i) The Administrative Agent may at any time give not less than 30 days prior notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to the consent of the Borrowers (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), 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 thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(ii) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(iii) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (1) the retiring or removed 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 held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. 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 removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity

112

payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 11 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Resignation of Other Agents. Any other Agent may, at any time, resign upon written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the applicable Agent, then the retiring Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor Agent from any of the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and shall assume the duties and obligations of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement.

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

11.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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:

113

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

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

and 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 Party, 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 the 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.

11.12 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 11.12 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

114

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Credit Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

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

(ii) such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.12(b).

(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment

115

Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Credit Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Credit Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 12.11 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as

116

the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Credit Party; provided that this Section 11.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates from the Borrowers or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment of the Obligations.

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

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Section 12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Amendments. Neither this Credit Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) nor any other Loan Document to which any Credit Party with respect to a Fund Group is a party, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of the Required Lenders), or the Required Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties in such Fund Group on the other hand; and, if the rights or duties of an Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by such Administrative Agent; provided that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of:

(a) each Lender adversely affected thereby with respect to the related Fund Group:

(i) reduce or increase the amount or alter the term of the Commitment of such Lender, alter the provisions relating to any fees (or any other payments) payable by such Fund Group to such Lender, or accelerate the obligations of such Lender to advance its portion of any Borrowing to such Fund Group, as contemplated in Section 2.5;

117

(ii) extend the time for payment for the principal of or interest on the Obligations of such Fund Group, or fees or costs, or reduce the principal amount of such Obligations (except as a result of the application of payments or prepayments), or reduce the rate of interest borne by such Obligations (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of the Default Rate), or otherwise affect the terms of payment of the principal of or any interest on such Obligations or fees or costs hereunder with respect to the related Fund Group;

(iii) release any Liens granted under the Collateral Documents with respect to the related Fund Group, except as otherwise contemplated herein or therein, and except in connection with the transfer of interests in any Borrower or Feeder Fund in such Fund Group permitted hereunder or in any other Loan Document; and

(b) all Lenders with respect to the related Fund Group:

(i) except as otherwise provided by Section 9.5 or 9.12, permit the cancellation, excuse or reduction of the Uncalled Capital Commitment or Capital Commitment of any Included Investor or Designated Investor of such Fund Group;

(ii) amend the definition of “Applicable Requirement”, “Available Commitment”, “Concentration Limit”, “Designated Investor”, “Eligible Institution”, “Eligible HNW Investor”, “Included Investor”, “Maturity Date”, “Principal Obligations”, “HNW Investor” or the definition of any of the defined terms used therein;

(iii) change the percentages specified in the definition of Required Lenders herein or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of the Lenders which are required to amend, waive or modify any rights hereunder or otherwise make any determination or grant any consent hereunder;

(iv) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party in such Fund Group of any of its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Loan Documents; or

(v) amend the terms of Section 3.5(b) or this Section 12.1.

The Administrative Agent agrees that it will notify the Lenders of any proposed modification or amendment to any Loan Document, and deliver drafts of any such proposed modification or amendment to the Lenders, prior to the effectiveness of such proposed modification or amendment. Notwithstanding the above, (A) no provisions of Section 11 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent; and (B) Section 8 and Section 9 specify the requirements for waivers of the affirmative covenants and negative covenants listed therein, and any amendment to a provision of Section 8 or Section 9 shall require the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent that are specified therein as required for a waiver thereof. Any amendment, waiver or consent not specifically addressed in this Section 12.1 or otherwise shall be subject to the approval of Required Lenders.

118

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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (3) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to the modification or waiver of any of the other terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any action or failure to act by any Credit Party, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative 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 not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have denied its consent to the request.

12.2 Sharing of Offsets. 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 its Loans or other obligations hereunder in respect of a Fund Group resulting in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Section 4 or Section 12.5) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein with respect to such Fund Group, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders with respect to such Fund Group, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments with respect to such Fund Group shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of obligations owing them with respect to such Fund Group; provided that:

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

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the applicable Borrowers 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) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its applicable Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the applicable Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each applicable Credit 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 each applicable Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

119

12.3 Sharing of Collateral. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Lender and the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, agrees that if it shall, through the receipt of any proceeds from a Capital Call or the exercise of any remedies under any Collateral Documents with respect to a Fund Group, receive or be entitled to receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to it from such Fund Group under this Credit Agreement which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender from such Fund Group under this Credit Agreement than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to any Obligations of such Fund Group to such Lender under this Credit Agreement, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase participations in the Obligations of such Fund Group under this Credit Agreement held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder of such Fund Group held by the Lenders shall be pro rata according to each Lender’s Commitment (determined as of the date hereof and regardless of any change in any Lender’s Commitment caused by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder). Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to coordinate and implement the sharing of collateral contemplated by this Section 12.3 prior to the distribution of proceeds from Capital Calls or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents with respect to such Fund Group prior to making any distributions of such proceeds to each Lender or the Administrative Agent, in their respective capacity as the Lenders.

12.4 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by Applicable Law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. Subject to the terms of this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 12.1), the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all Lenders, and the Credit Parties in a Fund Group may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Credit Agreement with respect to such Fund Group or the rights of the Lenders or the Credit Parties hereunder with respect to such Fund Group, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of the applicable Credit Parties hereunder with respect to such Fund Group, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent of the Administrative Agent being effective to bind all the Lenders, except as provided in Section 12.1. A waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

120

12.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Cost and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay (to the extent related to such Borrowers’ Fund Group) (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, including the Administrative Agent’s special counsel, Cadwalader, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications, addition of Investors, amendments to any Credit Party’s Constituent Document, joinder of Borrowers, or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated)) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel and necessary local counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, 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 hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.5(a) shall not apply to Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent losses, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim).

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers in each Fund Group (with respect to such Fund Group) shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all Indemnitees in each applicable jurisdiction) (collectively, “Losses”), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrowers or any other Credit Party) other than Losses asserted by such Indemnitee and its Related Parties, 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 or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the Credit Facility), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party in such Fund Group or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Credit Party in such Fund Group or any Subsidiary, (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 any Credit Party in such Fund Group or any Subsidiary thereof, with respect to any member of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Fund Group, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in each case relating to such Fund Group, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Losses (w) are determined by a court of

121

competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee, (x) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) result from any settlement by any Indemnitee of any claim or threatened claim that is otherwise subject to indemnification under this Section unless the Borrowers in such Fund Group have consented in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned or (z) are on account of Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent Losses, arising from any non-Tax claim) which shall be solely covered by Section 4.1 and 4.4(a), as applicable.

(c) Reimbursement by the Lenders. To the extent that the applicable Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Principal Obligations with respect to the related Fund Group at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); 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 the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto 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) 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 the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it 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 except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable at the Required Payment Time.

(f) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Obligations hereunder.

122

12.11 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(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 neither the Borrowers nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.11(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.11(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.11(f) (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, Participants to the extent provided in Section 12.11(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

(b) Assignments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (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 at the time owing to it) with notice to the Borrowers; provided that, in each case, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts and Maximum Amounts.

(A)

in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)

in any case not described in Section 12.11(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding hereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such “Trade Date”) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

126

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 12.11(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A)

the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) with respect to the consent of the Borrowers of an applicable Fund Group, a Fund Group Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Fund Group at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and

(B)

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

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that the 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 the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire if requested by the Administrative Agent.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v) or (C) any Person that is not an Eligible Institution (other than a Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(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 the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby

127

irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata 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.

(viii) Consequences of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.11(c), 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 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 of Section 4 and Section 12.5 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 Section 12.11(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the 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 for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit

128

Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided 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) the Borrowers, the 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 12.5(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

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, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 12.1(b) that directly affects such Participant and could not be effected by a vote of the Required Lenders. The applicable Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.1 and Section 4.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements of Section 4.1(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.1(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.11(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.11(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.1 and 4.4, with respect to such participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the applicable Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the applicable Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.8(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 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 or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

129

(f) 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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Addition of Lenders. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, at the request of one or more Borrowers, a new lender may join the Credit Facility as a Lender by delivering a Lender Joinder Agreement to the Administrative Agent, and such new Lender shall assume all rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that:

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

(ii) the Commitment of the new Lender shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or such lesser amount agreed to by the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent;

(iii) [reserved]; and

(iv) the parties shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Joinder Agreement, any amendment hereto determined necessary or appropriate by the Administrative Agent in connection with such Lender Joinder Agreement, the applicable Borrowers shall execute such new Notes as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may request, and the new Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent, which amount the Administrative Agent may waive in its sole discretion.

(h) Disclosure of Information. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Credit Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 12.17.

12.12 Defaulting Lenders.

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

130

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be excluded as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.2 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers in any Fund Group may request (so long as no Fund Group Potential Default or Fund Group Event of Default exists with respect to such Fund Group), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; fifth, so long as no Fund Group Potential Default or Fund Group Event of Default exists with respect to such Fund Group, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers in a Fund Group against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments without giving effect to this Section 12.12(a)(ii). 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive interest for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it.

131

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without giving effect to Section 12.12(a)(ii), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the applicable Borrowers 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 Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

12.13 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Administrative Agent by a Fund Group Party with respect to a Fund Group pursuant to any provisions of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations of such Fund Group remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations not then due), any of the available Commitments of such Fund Group remain in effect or the Credit Facility as it relates to such Fund Group has not been terminated.

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

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

12.16 Full Recourse. The payment and performance of the Obligations of any Fund Group shall be fully recourse to the Borrowers of such Fund Group and their properties and assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents to the contrary, such Obligations shall not be recourse to the General Partners of such Borrower, and the Lenders shall not have the right to pursue any claim or action against any Borrower General Partner except for any claim or action for actual damages of the Administrative Agent or Lenders as a result of any fraud, gross negligence, willful misrepresentation, willful misappropriation of proceeds from the Credit Facility or other willful misconduct on the part of any Borrower General Partner, in which event there shall be full recourse with respect to the Obligations of the related Fund Group against such Person.

12.17 Availability of Records; Confidentiality. (a) Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that this Credit Agreement, all Loan Documents, Borrowing Base Certificates, and all other documents, certificates, opinions, reports, and other material information of every nature or description, and all transactions contemplated thereunder (collectively, “Transaction Information”) are confidential and agree to not disclose such information to any third party; provided, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent may provide to the Lenders, and that the Administrative Agent and each Lender may provide to any Affiliate of a Lender or Participant or Assignee or proposed Participant or Assignee and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, auditors, counsel, rating agencies and agents or any other Person as deemed necessary or appropriate in any Lender’s reasonable judgment, provided such party is

12.22 Appointment of Main Fund. Each Borrower in the applicable Fund Group hereby irrevocably appoints the applicable Main Fund in such Fund Group as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers in such Fund Group which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed other than the applicable Main Fund.
