WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to extend the Commitment;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 2

COMMITMENT

Section 2.01 Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally commits, from the Closing Date to the Commitment Termination Date, to make revolving loans (collectively, “Loans”) to the Borrower, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time the outstanding amount of such Lender’s Commitment with respect to the Loans; provided that the Lenders shall not be required to make any Loans hereunder if, after giving effect thereto and to the receipt and application by the Borrower of the proceeds of such Loan, the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans would exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Commitment and (b) the Maximum Advance Amount at such time. Subject to the preceding limitation and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay, repay and reborrow Loans.

Section 2.02 Voluntary Reductions or Termination of the Maximum Commitment.

(a) Each Lender’s commitment to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate, and the Maximum Commitment shall be reduced to zero, upon the Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower may voluntarily, from time to time, permanently reduce the amount of the Maximum Commitment upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice (subject to Clause (b) below) to the Administrative Agent specifying the amount of such reduction, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided that (i) no reduction may reduce the Maximum Commitment below $25,000,000 unless the Maximum Commitment is reduced to zero; (ii) any partial reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 for amounts in excess thereof; and (iii) no such reduction shall reduce the Maximum Commitment to an amount less than the sum of the then aggregate outstanding Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the receipt of any such notice and the pro rata reduction of such Lender’s Commitment.

(b) Borrower may reduce the Maximum Commitment in accordance with Section 2.02(a) in all respects (except for the notice period) on at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent if Borrower, concurrently with or prior to the effectiveness of any such reduction in the Maximum Commitment, pays (without duplication) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a fee equal to the difference between (x) the Commitment Fee that would have accrued on the amount of such reduction during the sixty (60) day notice period pursuant to Section 2.02(a), or, if fewer, the number of days from (and including) the date of such notice to (and excluding) Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, and (y) the Commitment Fee that accrued on such amount during the shortened notice period elected pursuant to this Section 2.02(b).

Section 2.03 Fees.

(a) Setup Fee. The Borrower shall pay to DBNY a Setup Fee in an amount and at the time as set forth in the fee letter between DBNY and the Borrower dated as of the Closing Date (the “Fee Letter”). The Borrower agrees that, once paid, the fees or any part thereof payable hereunder are irrevocable and non-refundable under any circumstances.

(b) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay the applicable Commitment Fee to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Lenders, on each Payment Date and on the Commitment Termination Date.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay fees to the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each calendar year in an amount equal to 0.015% of the aggregate Commitment of the Lenders as of such date (without regard to any reductions other than voluntary reductions pursuant to Section 2.02).

Section 2.04 Lender Commitment Reduction, Applicable Margin Adjustments and Margin Requirement Changes. The Lenders may from time to time, subject to Section 9.13(a), upon 60 days prior written notice (which notice shall specify in detail such actions to be taken) to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent take one or more of the following actions: (i) reduce the Maximum Commitment; (ii) change the Applicable Margin and (iii) change the definition of “Margin Requirement”, “Base Margin Requirement”, “Additional Margin Requirement” or “Portfolio Limitations” (and each of the Annexes referenced therein). If the Lenders reduce the Maximum Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.04, each Lender shall maintain its Commitment during the 60-day period following the date on which the Lenders provided the notice of such reduction (such day, the “Termination Notice Day”) in an amount equal to the least of: (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of the

close of business on the Termination Notice Day, (ii) the average outstanding principal amount of the Loans over the thirty (30) Business Days immediately preceding the Termination Notice Day, (iii) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of the close of business on any Business Day following and including the Termination Notice Day, and (iv) the Maximum Commitment (such applicable amount, the “OET Commitment Amount”). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if on the effective date of such reduction of the Maximum Commitment the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Loans exceeds the OET Commitment Amount, then no later than on such effective date Borrower shall repay the principal amount of Loans (together with accrued interest on such repaid principal amount) such that immediately thereafter the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding shall not be greater than the OET Commitment Amount.

ARTICLE 3

LOANS AND LENDER NOTE

Section 3.01 Borrowing Procedure for Loans. (a) Subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent and the other terms of this Agreement, the Lenders will fund Loans to, and only to, the Custodial Account upon receipt of timely and irrevocable written Borrowing Requests prior to the Commitment Termination Date, certified by an Authorized Representative of the Borrower and a Responsible Officer (which could be the same person as the Authorized Representative) as specified in Section 4.02(b) (Borrowing Request) specifying the amount and Business Day requested for funding; provided that the Borrower shall deliver not more than one (1) Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent on any Business Day. Such Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to (A) $500,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 for amounts in excess thereof or (B) if less than the amount specified in (A), the aggregate Unused Amount at such time. Any such request shall be made by either delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request or an Authorized Representative providing to the Administrative Agent a telephonic request for a Borrowing (which request shall be promptly confirmed by means of a written Borrowing Request), in each case no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) not less than one (1) Business Day preceding the date of the requested Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders of the receipt of each Borrowing Request, specifying the amount of each Loan as well as such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Loan. Such notices to Lenders shall be given by telephone and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by facsimile.

(b) Funding by the Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any Loans available to the Borrower unless and until such Loans have been made available to the Administrative Agent by the relevant Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any

Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent its share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made its share available on such date in accordance with Section 3.01(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if such Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, 5% per annum, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Loan in accordance with Section 3.04. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included or equal to the Borrowing, as the case may be. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then the Lenders severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to any Lenders, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 3.02 Notes. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, each Loan made by a Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to the product of (x) the Maximum Commitment and (y) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage, and dated as of the date such notice is issued, executed by the Borrower and substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Notes”). Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender through the Administrative Agent a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, amount, maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

Section 3.03 Principal Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall repay in full all Loans on the Maturity Date unless payment is sooner required hereunder and such repayment shall be applied pro rata to each outstanding Loan.

(b) Prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower:

(i) may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any Loans made as part of any particular Borrowing; provided that:

(A) no such prepayment may be made which, after giving effect thereto, would result in the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereof being less than $1,000,000 (unless repaid in full) or other than an integral multiple of $1,000 for amounts in excess thereof;

(B) each such voluntary prepayment shall require prior written notice specifying the date and amount of such prepayment (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) at least two (2) Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of such notice, and of the amount of such prepayment that will be applied to each Lender; and

(ii) shall immediately repay all Loans upon any acceleration of the maturity of the Loans in connection with the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.02 (Action if Bankruptcy) or 7.03 (Action if Other Event of Default) and such repayment shall be applied pro rata to each outstanding Loan; and

(iii) shall immediately repay Loans to the extent required to satisfy the Overcollateralization Test at all times and such repayment shall be applied pro rata to each outstanding Loan.

(c) Prepayment Compensation. A prepayment of any Loan for any reason (whether voluntary or mandatory) shall in all cases be accompanied by (i) accrued but unpaid interest thereon and (ii) the payment determined in accordance with Section 3.04(c) (Compensation).

Section 3.04 Interest.

(a) Interest Rules and Calculations. (i) The unpaid principal amount of each Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall at all times be the Weighted Average Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin.

(ii) All overdue principal and overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Weighted Average Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%.

(iii) Interest shall accrue with respect to each outstanding Loan at the interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period and shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

(iv) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 9.08 (Calculations; Computations).

(v) The Administrative Agent, shall upon determining the applicable interest rate for any Borrowing of Loans for any Interest Reset Period, promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

In no event shall the rate of interest applicable to any Loan or any other amount due hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, and the interest rate specified above shall, if necessary, be reduced to such maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.

(b) Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (i) In the event that (x) in the case of Section 3.04(b)(i)(A) below, the Administrative Agent, (y) in the case of Section 3.04(b)(i)(B)(1) and (C) below, a Lender, and (z) in the case of Section 3.04(b)(i)(B)(2) below, a Recipient, shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon the Borrower):

(A) on any date for determining the Weighted Average Rate for any Interest Reset Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate;

(B) at any time, that (1) such Lender shall incur increased costs (other than Taxes) or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans, or (2) such Recipient is subject to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) 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, in either case because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any Applicable Law, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new accounting standard, Law or guideline) (such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements), but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Weighted Average Rate or (y) other circumstances occurring after the Closing Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or any other applicable market or the position of such Lender in such market and in each case notified the Administrative Agent thereof;

(C) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan bearing interest determined by reference to the Weighted Average Rate has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any accounting standard, Law or guideline (or would conflict with any such accounting standard, Law or guideline not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) and such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent thereof;

then, and in any such event, affected Loans (which in the case of clause (A) shall be all Loans, in the case of clauses (B)(1) and (C) shall be Loans made or to be made from any affected Lender, and in the case of clause (B)(2) shall be Loans made or to be made from any affected Recipient) bearing interest determined by reference to the Weighted Average Rate shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, and any Borrowing Request given by the Borrower with respect to Loans which have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, and (x) in the case of clauses Section 3.04(b)(i)(A) and (B) above, the Borrower shall pay to the affected Recipients, within 10 days of receipt of written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an

increased rate of, or a different method of calculating (including by converting all affected Loans to Base Rate Loans), interest or otherwise as the relevant Recipient shall determine) as shall be required to compensate the relevant Recipient for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Recipient, showing the basis for the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, submitted to the Borrower by such Recipient shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties thereto) and (y) in the case of clauses (B) and Section 3.04(b)(i)(C) above, the Borrower shall take the actions specified in Section 3.04(b)(ii) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by Law.

(ii) At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.04(b)(i)(B) or (C) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(i)(C) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.), the Borrower shall) if the affected Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing from the affected Recipients by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(i)(B) or (C) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.), or if the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent, require each such Loan to be converted into a Base Rate Loan.

(iii) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined in good faith that after the Closing Date, the adoption or effectiveness of any applicable accounting standard, or any Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any thereof by any accounting board or Governmental Authority (including any standards board, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof), or compliance by such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, board, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitment to lend to a level below that which such Lender (or such controlling corporation) would have

achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s (or such controlling corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender, as applicable, (or such controlling corporation) for such reduction.

(iv) If any Lender seeks payment of additional amounts from the Borrower pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) above, the Borrower may together with payment of all such additional amounts, (a) prepay all Loans for which such Lender seeks payment of additional amounts without payment of any prepayment compensation pursuant to (c) (Compensation) with respect to such Loans and (b) upon such prepayment, reduce the Maximum Commitment in an amount equal to the amount of such prepayment.

(v) For avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any other change in foreign or domestic generally accepted accounting principles that would require the consolidation of some or all of the assets of the Borrower, including the assets and liabilities which are the subject of this Agreement, with those of any Lender, shall constitute a change in the interpretation of a regulation subject to this
Section 3.04(b).

(c) Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans, but excluding in any event the loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing of Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Request (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(i) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.)), (ii) if any prepayment, repayment or conversion of any of its Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower or (iv) as a consequence of (c) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement (including an Event of Default resulting in acceleration of the maturity of the Loans hereunder) or (d) an action taken pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(ii)

(Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.). A Lender’s basis for requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) and a Lender’s calculation of the amount thereof shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower. With respect to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the compensation owed to the relevant Lender shall be equal to (x) the product of (1) the amount of the applicable Loans made by the relevant Lender, (2) the excess (if any) of (A) the Weighted Average Rate applicable to such Loans over (B) the LIBOR Rate applicable to a period equal to the number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable to such Loans and (3) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable to such Loans, divided by (y) 360.

(d) Change of Lending Office; Limitation on Indemnities.

(i) The Lenders agree that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.04(b)(i)(B) or Section 3.04(b)(i)(C) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.) or Section 3.06 (Net Payments; Taxes) with respect to any Lender, it shall, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of such Lender provided in Section 3.04(b) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.) or Section 3.06 (Net Payments; Taxes).

(ii) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event 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).

Section 3.05 Method and Place of Payment. All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office, it being understood that written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

Section 3.06 Net Payments; Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.06) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.06) 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.06(d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.06, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower 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 Section 3.06(f)(ii)(A), Section 3.06(f)(ii)(B) and Section 3.06(f)(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, if the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed originals 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction 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 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 Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals 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 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 N-2 or Exhibit N-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to (x) comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or (y) determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) 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 3.06 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.06), 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 3.06 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 3.06(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 3.06(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.06(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 or credit 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 3.06(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) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.06 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 Transaction Document.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 3.06, the term “ applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 3.07 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any Loans made by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its share thereof as provided herein

(except as a result of a payment by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.06 (Replacement Lenders)), then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (x) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations 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 Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply) or (z) any fees or other payments obtained by a Lender that are not a payment of principal of or interest on any Loans.

The Borrower 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 the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 3.08 Post Default Order of Application of Funds. Following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, all payments from the Borrower to the Lenders in respect of the obligations under this Agreement shall be applied to such obligations in the order set forth in the Security Agreement.

Section 5.01 Organization, etc.

(a) Organization, Power, Authority, etc. The Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Delaware, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.01(c) (Maintenance of Existence, etc.) and Section 6.01(d) (Foreign Qualification), and has full power and authority and holds all requisite governmental licenses, permits and other approvals to enter into and perform its Obligations under this Agreement, the Note and each other Credit Document to which it is a party and to own and hold under lease its property and to conduct its business substantially as currently conducted by it.

Section 5.02 Due Authorization, Non-Contravention, etc. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Agreement, the Note and each other Credit Document to which it is a party, the performance by the Borrower of its Obligations hereunder and thereunder, all Loans obtained hereunder by the Borrower, the granting of the Liens provided for in the Collateral Documents and the consummation of all other actions incidental to any thereof have been duly authorized by all necessary action, do not and shall not conflict with, result in any violation of, or constitute a default under, any provision of any Organic Document or Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any Law and shall not result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the Borrower’s properties pursuant to the provisions of any Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens provided for in the Collateral Documents and the Liens permitted by Section 6.02(c) (Liens)).

The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

Independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, each Lender, to the extent it has deemed appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigations of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in connection with the making and the continuance of any Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own

appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Lenders with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of any Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender within five (5) Business Days of receipt from or on behalf of the Borrower copies of any written information furnished or delivered to it pursuant to Section 6.01(a), Section 6.01(b), Section 6.01(f), Section 6.01(n), Section 6.01(p) or Section 6.01(q), from or on behalf of the Borrower.

Section 8.06 Indemnification. Without duplication of Section 3.06(d), to the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders shall reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such sixty (60) day period, the Administrative Agent, with (unless an Event of Default is then in existence) the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 8.08(b) or (c) (Resignation by the Administrative Agent) above by the seventy-fifth (75th) day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

Section 9.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower agrees to: (a) pay all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (i) of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or Loans, negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto and (ii) of the Administrative Agent and any Lender in connection with any Event of Default or with the enforcement of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of (x) one (1) counsel for the Administrative Agent (which counsel shall be selected by the Administrative Agent) and (y) one (1) counsel for the Lenders), (b) without duplication of Section 3.06(b), pay and hold any Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from and against any and all actual present and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and hold such Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes and (c) indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (each such Person an “Indemnitee”) from and hold each Indemnitee harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (i) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or in any Credit Document, (ii) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Lender is a party thereto) related to the entering into or performance of any Credit Document, the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated in any Credit Document, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred directly by reason of the gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee or (iii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water, groundwater, surface or subsurface of any real property owned or at any time operated

by the Borrower, the generation, storage, transportation or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location whether or not owned or operated by the Borrower, the noncompliance of any real property owned or at any time operated by the Borrower with Federal, state and local Laws (including applicable permits hereunder) applicable to any such real property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrower, or any such real property, including, in each case, the reasonable disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding but excluding in all cases any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that there will be no duplication of the amounts indemnified pursuant to Article III. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Indemnitee set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any Law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law. This Section 9.01 (other than clause (b)) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 9.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Debt at any time held or owing by such Lender (including by branches and agencies of the Lenders wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not effect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 9.03 Notices.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including e-mail or telecopier communication) and e-mailed, mailed, telecopied or delivered, if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule 2 or, at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice or communication provided for hereunder shall be deemed to have been given or made (i) as of the date so delivered, if delivered personally or by overnight courier; (ii) on the date a transmission report confirming transmission is generated by the sender’s telecopy

machine, if telecopied; (iii) on the date sent, if e-mailed, so long as the sender does not receive a bounce-back message within a reasonable time after delivery; and (iv) five (5) calendar days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail (except that a notice of change of address shall not be deemed to have been given until actually received by the addressee).

(b) In addition to the provisions of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have notified the Borrower of the occurrence of a default, Default or Event of Default (or any similar or related event or condition), when required to do so by the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, when the Administrative Agent:

(i) calls by telephone any one of the designated persons listed below at the number set forth opposite such person’s name; provided that if after placing a telephone call to each of the designated persons listed below, the Administrative Agent is unable to reach any of such persons (through no fault of the Administrative Agent, i.e., whether because the Administrative Agent’s calls are unanswered, it receives a “busy” signal for the call and/or each of the persons called is not available to answer the call at the time the Administrative Agent calls), the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have provided the Borrower with telephone notice; and

(ii) in addition to such telephone notice, sends an email notice with a subject line specifying “Default Notice from Deutsche Bank” to each of the email addresses listed below (whether or not such emails are actually received by any of such persons):


Name	Telephone Number	Email Address
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx	(000) 000-0000	xxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx	(000) 000-0000	xxxxxxx.xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx	(000) 000-0000	xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
Xxx Xxxxxx	(000) 000-0000	xxx.xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx

Xxx Xxxxx	(000) 000-0000	xxx.xxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx	(000) 000-0000	xxxxxx.xxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx

For the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion of employees of GSO in this (b) shall not be construed as GSO becoming a party to this Agreement or assuming any rights or obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, prior to receipt of written confirmation, act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower or the Manager (including an Authorized Representative or Responsible Officer thereof). In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice absent manifest error.

Section 9.04 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto to the extent permitted under this Section 9.04; provided that except as provided in Section 6.02(f) (Merger, Consolidation; Successor Entity Substituted), the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

Section 9.05 Participations and Assignments.

(a) Participations. (i) Any Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under the Notes without the consent of the Borrower or any other Person to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions; provided that in the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that (1) the participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.04(a) (Interest Rules and Calculations) to the extent that such Lender would be entitled to such benefits if the participation had not been entered into or sold; and (2) such participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.04(b) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.), Section 3.06 (Net Payment; Taxes) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.06(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.06(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 paragraph (b) of this Section, provided, that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.04(d) (Change of Lending Office; Limitation on Indemnities) and 9.06 (Replacement of Lenders) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.04(b) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.) or 3.06 (Net Payment; Taxes), with respect to any 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 any Applicable Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use

reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 9.06 (Replacement of Lenders) with respect to any participant. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.02 (Right of Setoff) as though it were a Lender; provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.07 (Sharing of Payments by Lenders) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or any Note in which such participant is participating or waive any mandatory prepayment thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a change in the terms of the Commitment), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (in each case except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) or (iii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as provided in Section 6.02(f) (Merger, Consolidation, Successor Entity Substituted); and provided, further, that each participation shall be subject to the related participant providing a representation and warranty to such Lender from which it is acquiring its participation that it is a Qualified Purchaser. The Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of any participation granted pursuant to this paragraph (a) and the identity of the participant(s).

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, 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 obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such 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 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.

(b) Assignments. Any Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Administrative Agent, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, such Lender’s Commitment (or any portion or element thereof), the Loans, the Notes and other Obligations) to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions with the Required Ratings; provided that the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for any assignment shall not be required if (i) a Default or an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) such assignment is (A) to an Affiliate of such Lender or (B) to another Person who at the time of such assignment already is a party to this Agreement as a Lender or (iii) such assignment is made to an Approved Selling Institution (it being agreed that the Borrower shall have review and approval rights over the documents relating to such assignment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall not be permitted to make an assignment to a Competitor unless (i) any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(i) (Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc.) has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders have declared the outstanding principal amount of all or any portion of the outstanding Loans and other Obligations to be due and payable in accordance with Section 7.03(b), (ii) an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(i) (Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc.) has occurred or (iii) the Borrower has consented to such assignment. No assignment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentences to an institution other than another Lender shall be in an aggregate amount less than (unless the entire Commitment and outstanding Loans of the assigning Lender is so assigned) $5,000,000. If any Lender so sells or assigns all or a part of its rights hereunder or under the Notes, any reference in this Agreement or the Notes to such Lender shall thereafter refer to said Lender and to its respective assignee to the extent of their respective interests and such assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would if it were such assigning Lender. Each assignment pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be effected by the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender executing an Assignment Agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”), which Assignment Agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C (appropriately completed). At the time of any assignment pursuant to this paragraph (b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Commitment of the respective assignee (which shall result in a direct reduction to the Commitment of the assigning Lender) and the Borrower shall, if requested in writing by the assignee or assigning Lender, issue new Notes to the respective assignee and to the assigning Lender (if it shall maintain any Commitment following such assignment) in conformity with the requirements of Section 3.02 (Note). To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this paragraph (b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitment. In connection with any such assignment, the applicable Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree to execute such documents (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) as shall be reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging the Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank.

Section 9.06 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender, other than an Original Lender, seeks payment of additional amounts from the Borrower under Section 3.04(b) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.) or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender other than an Original Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender other than an Original Lender pursuant to Section 3.06 (Net Payments; Taxes), or if any Lender other than an Original Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and with the written consent of 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 9.05 (Participations and Assignments)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) provided that:

(a) 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 Credit Documents (including Section 3.04(c) (Compensation)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower;

(b) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04(b) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.06 (Net Payments; Taxes), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 9.07 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 9.08 Calculations; Computations.

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Administrative Agent to in turn furnish said statements to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved.

(b) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

Section 9.09 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN

ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN Section 9.09(a) (GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the amount of additional interest to be added for any overdue payment pursuant to Section 3.04(a)(ii) above what it would have been on amounts not so overdue pursuant to Section 3.04(a)(i) or to waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest at such default rate to the extent it exceeds the interest payable at the non-default rate;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any change, waiver, discharge or termination hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (and such disqualification shall not apply to any Lender acting in a capacity other than as Lender);

provided further, that, in the event of any amendment to increase the Aggregate Commitment the Administrative Agent shall first give DBNY the opportunity to determine whether to increase its Commitment and if so, the amount of such increase (up to the full amount of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment).

Section 9.16 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to Section 9.04 (Benefit of Agreement) and paragraph (b) below, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of, or otherwise in connection with, this Agreement, in accordance with their customary policies and procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in any event may make disclosures (i) to employees, officers, directors and agents of Deutsche Bank who need to review and monitor its relationship with the Borrower, the Manager or the Equity Owner and (ii) reasonably required by any bona fide actual or potential transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Loans or participation therein or an Affiliate of any Lender or the Administrative Agent (including its or their attorneys, legal advisors, accountants and consultants) (so long as such transferee, participant or Affiliate, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.16) or as required or requested by any governmental agency, central bank, regulatory authority with jurisdiction over any Lender, pursuant to legal process or as otherwise required by Law; provided that unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, such Lender shall, if practicable, notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt thereof of any request by any governmental agency, central bank,

regulatory authority with jurisdiction over such Lender, or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency, central bank or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over such Lender or other routine examination or audit of such Lender’s books and records by such governmental agency, central bank or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over such Lender) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; and provided, further, that in no event shall any Lender or any of its Affiliates be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower. A Person that ceases to be a Lender shall continue to abide by the provisions of this Section 9.16 for the duration of this Agreement.

(b) It is expressly understood by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the information provided hereunder identifying the Fund Investments, the Market Value Prices and Market Values is intended solely for use in connection with this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that it shall not use any such information for trading purposes or furnish such information to trading personnel (other than members of Deutsche Bank’s senior management for the purpose of reviewing and monitoring the Commitment) or any other Person unless such information is necessary for such Person to perform a function that is not inconsistent with the purpose of this Agreement, and in each case for any purpose which is inconsistent with the foregoing restrictions or this Agreement.

Section 9.17 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 9.17 (Register), to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it shall record the names and addresses of each Lender, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) owing to each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, 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 Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 9.18 Lender Affiliate Securities. The Administrative Agent may from time to time give notice to the Borrower listing by name each person who is an affiliate of a Lender for purposes of Section 23A.

Section 9.19 Marshalling; Recapture. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender or any Lender receives any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the Borrower or its estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy Law, state or

Federal Law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by the amount so repaid shall be reinstated by the amount so repaid and shall be included within the liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 9.20 No Petition. Each of the parties hereto (other than the Borrower) covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Obligations, no party hereto shall institute against the Borrower any involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.21 Acknowledgment. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that none of the parties hereto has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to any the other party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the relationship between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.

Section 9.22 Severability. If any provision of any Credit Document is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions of the Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Lenders in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction.
