(a) Request for Borrowing. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one (1) Type of Loan to the other, and each continuation of Term Rate Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone, together with a Borrowing Base Certificate. Each such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Rate Loans or of any conversion of Term Rate Loans to Reference Rate Loans; and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify: (A) whether Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one (1) Type of Loan to the other, or a continuation of Term Rate Loans; (B) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued; (D) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted; and (E) to which account the proceeds of such Borrowing, or conversion or continuation should be directed. If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, a Term Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice delivered with adequate notice for a Term Rate Loan, it will be deemed to have specified a Term Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

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

32

(c) Tranches; No Obligation to Fund if Maximum Rate Exceeded. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not have the right to have more than ten (10) Term Rate Loans in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one (1) time during the Availability Period, nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.05(a) would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan.

(d) Continuations and Conversions of Term Rate Loans. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term Rate Loan. During the existence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Term Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, but Term Rate Loans may be continued if a Potential Default exists (other than a Potential Default applicable to a Cash Control Event), so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

2.03 Minimum Loan Amounts. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000, and each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Reference Rate Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided, however, that a Reference Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required for the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under Section 2.07(c).

2.04 Funding.

(a) Funding by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Applicable Percentage of each Borrowing available to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of Borrower no later than 10:00 a.m. on the borrowing date in immediately available funds, and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly deposit such proceeds in immediately available funds in Borrower’s account at Administrative Agent specified in the Loan Notice, or, if requested by Borrower in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Applicable Percentage of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Applicable Percentage of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Applicable Percentage of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to Borrower a corresponding amount.

(b) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 13.06(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 13.06(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 13.06(c).

33

2.05 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below: (i) each Term Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Term Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Reference Rate Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Reference Rate.

(b) Default Rate.

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

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

(iii) Upon the request of Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.05(a) above) the principal amount of the Obligations shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or is waived.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) is due and payable upon demand.

2.06 Determination of Rate. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing shall become effective, without prior notice to Borrowers, automatically as of the opening of business of Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Term Rate Loans or any Daily SOFR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of SOFR, Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

2.07 Letters of Credit.

(a) Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Availability Period: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.07: (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, in aggregate face amounts that shall be not less than $500,000, as Borrower may request (except to the extent a lesser amount is requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and agreed by Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it; and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and

34

(B) Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and any drawings thereunder; provided, however that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit: (1) the Principal Obligation will not exceed the Available Loan Amount; (2) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment; and (3) the Letter of Credit Obligations will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit will be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired (without any pending drawing) or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall have the right to approve the form of Letter of Credit requested.

(ii) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: (A) subject to Section 2.07(b)(iii), the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur more than 12 months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has approved such expiry date in its sole discretion; or (B) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur after the Stated Maturity Date, without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer and all Lenders, in which case any such Letter of Credit shall be Cash Collateralized on the date thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

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

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

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one (1) or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

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

35

(E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (in its sole discretion) with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as to which the Letter of Credit Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

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

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

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

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

36

amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Request for Credit Extension relating to a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Request for Credit Extension from Borrower and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, Administrative Agent or Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one (1) or more applicable conditions contained in Section 7 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Letter of Credit Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. With the approval of Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, the risk participation of each Lender shall terminate upon the occurrence of the Maturity Date and the full and final payment of the Obligations (other than the Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit Obligations described below and contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), and the Issuer Documents, rather than this Credit Agreement, shall govern the rights and obligations of Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and Borrower with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations, so long as Borrower has Cash Collateralized all Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding, to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer, in their respective sole discretion.

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

37

by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party that one (1) or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.

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

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participation.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to so reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer by such time, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.03 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Available Loan Amount and the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.07(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

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

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 7.02, cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Letter of Credit Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.07.

38

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

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.07(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Letter of Credit Issuer, Borrower, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Potential Default or Event of Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 (other than delivery of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

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

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

39

(ii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 13.04 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Lenders under this clause (ii) will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

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

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

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

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

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

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

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

(vii) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

40

(viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower.

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

(f) Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or related Request for Credit Extension. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, any of its Related Parties, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.07(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The Letter of Credit Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (known as SWIFT) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

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

41

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

2.08 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes permitted under the applicable Governing Agreement and the Constituent Documents of Borrower. No Secured Party shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and no Secured Party shall be obligated to determine whether or not Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under the applicable Governing Agreement or such Constituent Documents. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any conversion or continuation thereof, or any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by any Secured Party as to whether any investment by Borrower is permitted by the terms of the applicable Governing Agreement or the Constituent Documents of Borrower.

2.09 Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, according to its Applicable Percentage, an unused commitment fee on the actual daily amount of the Maximum Commitment which was unused (through the extension of Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit) during the immediately preceding calendar quarter at the rate of thirty (30) basis points (0.30%) per annum, payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date for the period from the end of the preceding calendar quarter until the Maturity Date; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the unused commitment fee for the period from the Closing Date through the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar quarter shall be pro-rated to correspond to the actual number of days elapsed during such period. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge and agree that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to Lenders for committing to make funds available to Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes and shall be due and payable whether or not the conditions precedent in Section 7.02 are satisfied.

2.10 Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent and Arranger fees in consideration of the arrangement of the Commitments and administration of this Credit Agreement, which fees are earned, due and payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between Borrower and Administrative Agent in a separate fee letter agreement.

2.11 Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance, subject to Section 2.15, with its Applicable Percentage, a fee for each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit issued to it. Such fee shall be: (i) due and payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter (or portion thereof, if applicable), commencing on the first such date to occur after the issuance of any Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date, and

42

thereafter (if applicable) on demand; and (ii) computed quarterly in arrears. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.05. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, such fee shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(b) Fronting Fee and Administrative Charges. Borrower shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer, for its own account, in consideration of the issuance and fronting of Letters of Credit, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued to it, at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter (if applicable) on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.05. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Letter of Credit Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

2.12 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans, shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan from and including the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.03 bear interest for one (1) day.

2.13 [Reserved].

2.14 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If: (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been repaid in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement; (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Collateralization Date, any Letter of Credit Obligations for any reason remains outstanding; (iii) Borrower shall promptly (but in no event later than: (A) two (2) Business Days, to the extent funds are available in the Collateral Accounts; and (B) 15 Business Days, to the extent that it is necessary for Guarantors to issue Capital Call Notices) Cash Collateralize the then-outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations; or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly (but in no event later than: (A) two (2) Business Days, to the extent funds are available in the Collateral Accounts; and (B) 15 Business Days, to the extent that it is necessary for Guarantors to issue Capital Call Notices) upon the request of Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable

43

Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If at any time Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, or that the total amount of such funds is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such Minimum Collateral Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds will be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the relevant Defaulting Lender or Borrower will promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral; provided, however, that if funds are not available to Borrower in the applicable Collateral Account to make payment within two (2) Business Days, to the extent that it is necessary for a Guarantor to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment, such payment shall be made within 15 Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand (and, in any event, the applicable Guarantor shall issue such Capital Call Notices and shall make such payment during such time).

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections 2.07, 2.15, 3.04, 3.06 or 11.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following: (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 13.11(b)(vii))); or (ii) the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations); and (A) the termination of the Maximum Commitment; or (B) the reduction of the Maximum Commitment to zero; or (iii) Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral;

44

provided, however: (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Potential Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.14 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 11.04); and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.15 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 13.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10.12 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.02, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists), 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 Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to: (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement; and (y) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; seventh, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if: (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and

45

unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any unused commitment fee payable under to Section 2.09 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender); and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.11.

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.14.

(C) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09 or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B) above, the Borrower shall: (x) pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Non-Defaulting Lender, that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, provided Borrower has received from Administrative Agent a notice regarding such reallocations; (y) pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, provided Borrower has received from Administrative Agent a notice regarding such allocation; and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that: (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

46

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14.

(vi) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.07, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that: (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Potential Default or Event of Default exists; and (B) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of: (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender; minus (2) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), 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 Borrower while that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.16 Additional Guarantors.

(a) A Person (other than a natural Person) may become a Guarantor under this Credit Agreement, and in each case shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits and obligations of this Credit Agreement as a Guarantor hereunder to the same extent as any other Guarantor, upon the fulfillment of the following conditions:

(i) Collateral Account. Such Person shall establish a Collateral Account pursuant to Section 5.02(a).

(ii) Loan Documents. Such Person shall deliver the documents identified in Sections 7.01(a)(iii), 7.01(a)(iv) and 7.01(a)(xiii) with respect to such Person, together with such other documents or Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

(iii) Resolutions and Officers’ Certificates. Such Person shall deliver the documents identified in Sections 7.01(a)(vii), 7.01(a)(viii) and 7.01(a)(ix) with respect to such Person, together with such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

47

(iv) No Default. No Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result from the addition of such Person as a Guarantor.

(v) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Loan Parties in Section 8 (other than representations and warranties which by their terms are stated to be only as of an earlier date) shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of the qualification effected by the phrase “in all material respects” or “in any material respect” in respect of such representations and warranties) with respect to such Person, as of the date such Person executes the Joinder Agreement described in clause (vi) below.

(vi) Joinder Agreement. Such Person shall execute a Joinder Agreement with respect to this Credit Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit L (a “Joinder Agreement”).

(vii) Opinion of Counsel. Administrative Agent shall have received a legal opinion, dated as of the date such Person executes the Joinder Agreement described above, addressed to Administrative Agent and Lenders, having substantially the same coverage as that opinion delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(xi) and substantially in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent.

(viii) ERISA Deliverables. With respect to such Person, an Operating Company Opinion addressed to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties (or if addressed to such Person or its General Partner, a copy of such Operating Company Opinion, along with a reliance letter addressed to Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties) from counsel to such Person; provided, however, if such Person does not intend to qualify as an Operating Company in order to avoid holding Plan Assets, and it is reasonable for such Person to conclude that its underlying assets will not constitute Plan Assets throughout the remaining term of this Credit Agreement due to satisfaction of another exception to holding Plan Assets (other than the Operating Company exceptions), then such Person may deliver a No Plan Asset Certificate to Administrative Agent in lieu of providing an Operating Company Opinion.

(ix) Other Information; Fees and Expenses. Such Person shall provide Administrative Agent with such other documentation or information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to such Person, including, without limitation, information related to Lenders’ compliance with “know your customer” requirements, and shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent under this Section 2.16.

(x) Approval. Administrative Agent shall have approved the addition of such Person as an additional Guarantor, which approval, or denial thereof, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent.

(b) Upon fulfillment of the conditions in Section 2.16(a), Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the date that such Person becomes a Guarantor hereunder.

48

3. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

3.01 Notes.

(a) The Borrowings funded by each Lender shall be evidenced by one (1) or more accounts or records maintained by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations of Borrower. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees, from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent or any affected Lender, to reissue new Notes, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to any Lender and any Assignee of such Lender in accordance with Section 13.11, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by Borrower to the affected Lender, and such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to return such previously issued Note marked “Cancelled.”

3.02 Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest. Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.05, notwithstanding whether Borrower received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date and even if such Borrowing is held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement. When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from Borrower, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, in accordance with the Loan Notice, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by Administrative Agent.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest (i) on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date and (ii) on any obligation of Borrower hereunder on which Borrower is in default shall be due and payable at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by Administrative Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

49

(c) Direct Disbursement. If, at any time, Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon the Loans or any fee described herein, Administrative Agent may direct the disbursement of funds from the applicable Collateral Account to Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent available therein for payment of any such amount. If, at any such time, the amount available in such Collateral Account is not sufficient for the full payment of such amounts due, Administrative Agent may, without prior notice to or the consent of Borrower, within the limits of the Available Loan Amount, disburse to Lenders in immediately available funds an amount equal to the interest or fee due to Lenders, which disbursement shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.02, and Borrower shall be deemed to have given to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.02 a Loan Notice with respect thereto.

3.03 Payments of Obligation.

(a) Maturity Date. The principal amount of the Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(b) Payments Generally. All payments of principal of and interest on the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by Borrower to or for the account of Lenders, or any one (1) of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff by Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Funds received after 2:00 p.m. shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. Each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by Administrative Agent to such Lender. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Clawback.

(i) Funding by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Reference Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.04) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to 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 Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by

50

Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if funds are not available to Borrower in the applicable Collateral Account to make payment on demand, to the extent that it is necessary for a Guarantor to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment, such payment shall be made within 15 Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand (and, in any event, such Guarantor shall issue such Capital Call Notices and shall make such payment promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received). If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in 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 Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

(d) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided herein, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Section 7 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent will return such funds (in like funds, as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein will be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds will be applied: (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties; and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

51

3.04 Mandatory Prepayment.

(a) Excess Loans Outstanding. If, on any day, the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Loan Amount (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event) (a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”), then Borrower shall pay on demand such excess (the “Mandatory Prepayment Amount”) to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in immediately available funds (except to the extent any such excess is addressed by Section 3.04(b)): (A) promptly on demand (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such demand), to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Account; and (B) within 15 Business Days of demand to the extent such funds are not available in the applicable Collateral Account (and the applicable Guarantor shall issue one (1) or more Capital Call Notices if necessary for such Guarantor to fund such required payment during such time, and shall pay such excess immediately after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call Notice are received).

(b) Excess Letters of Credit Outstanding. If the amount of any Mandatory Prepayment Amount exceeds the Principal Obligation attributable to Loans (plus, for the avoidance of doubt, any other then-due Obligation of Borrower other than Letter of Credit Obligations), Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations in the amount of such excess, when required pursuant to the terms of Section 3.04(a).

3.05 Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, upon notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term Rate Loans; and (ii) on the date of prepayment of Reference Rate Loans; (b) any prepayment of Term Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (c) any prepayment of Reference Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, 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 and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, 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 Term Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.05. Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Applicable Percentage.

3.06 Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Request for Credit Extension is outstanding, Borrower may terminate the Commitments, or permanently reduce the aggregate Commitments, by giving prior irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by Borrower in such notice), provided that: (i) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (ii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Principal Obligation would exceed the aggregate Commitments (except that if such Principal Obligation consists solely of Letter of Credit Obligations, Borrower may provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit Obligations and terminate the aggregate Commitments); and (iii) if,

52

after giving effect to any reduction of the aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit would exceed the amount of the aggregate Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments. In no event may Borrower reduce the aggregate Commitments to $10,000,000 or less (other than by a termination of all the Commitments), except in the case that the outstanding Principal Obligation consists solely of Letter of Credit Obligations, in which case Borrower may reduce the aggregate Commitments to the amount of Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding. Any reduction of the aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

3.07 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; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Base Rate Loan; and (c) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower, so long as such change does not require Borrower to pay any additional costs pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.05. In such event, such Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.04, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Lender shall, regardless of such Lender’s actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by Borrower for such Borrowing period.

4. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

4.01 Taxes.

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

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

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

53

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

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

(c) Tax Indemnifications.

(i) Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof 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 4.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and 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 any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor: (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so); (B) Administrative Agent and Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.11(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (C) Administrative Agent and Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or Borrower 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 or the Letter of Credit Issuer by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

54

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

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, or such other documentation as reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine (a) whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements, (b) whether or not specific payments made hereunder are subject to the same and, if so, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (c) whether or not such Lender is entitled to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of such payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two (2) sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.01(e)(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, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is a U.S. Person:

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

55

(1) 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, copies of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, 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-E (or W-8BEN, 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;

(2) copies of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) 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 P-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 Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (y) copies of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, copies of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P-2 or Exhibit P-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one (1) 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 P-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 Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

56

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender 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 clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender (A) agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so; and (B) agrees to take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office for the Loans in accordance with Section 4.06(a)) to avoid any requirement pursuant to applicable Laws that the Loan Parties or Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts otherwise payable to such Lender.

(iv) If the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, it shall provide to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower): (i) two (2) duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, and (ii) with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, two (2) duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY confirming that the Administrative Agent agrees to be treated as a “United States person” for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes (as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations) and the payments it receives for the account of such Lenders are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States, with the effect that the Borrower can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States. The Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be. If any Recipient 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 by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.01, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 4.01 with

57

respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (f), in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this subsection (f) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient 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 subsection (f) shall not be construed to require the Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

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

4.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Change in 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 whose interest is determined with reference to any Relevant Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Relevant Rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to engage in reverse repurchase of U.S. Treasury securities transactions of the type included in the determination of SOFR then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrowers through Administrative Agent any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans with reference to such Relevant Rate or to convert Loans to Loans with reference to such Relevant Rate shall be suspended, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay, or, in the event any applicable Daily SOFR Loans or Term Rate Loans are so affected, convert all such Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the next Interest Payment Date with respect to Daily SOFR Loans or on the last day of the Interest Period therefor with respect to Term Rate Loans, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Rate Loans to such day, or, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain Term Rate Loans, immediately. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, each Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.05. Upon any conversion of the applicable Loans to Base Rate Loans, and for the duration of the unavailability of the Relevant Rate under this Section 4.02, the terms “Term SOFR” or “Daily Simple SOFR”, as applicable, and “Term Rate Loan” or “Daily SOFR Loan”, as applicable, in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to “Base Rate” and “Base Rate Loan”.

4.03 Inability to Determine Rate; Market Disruption.

(a) Market Disruption; SOFR. If, in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or Daily SOFR Loan, including any conversion or continuation thereof: (A) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 4.03(b), and the circumstances under Section 4.03(b)(i) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest

58

Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan, or (iii) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Daily Simple SOFR in connection with an existing or proposed Daily SOFR Loan, or (B) Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period or Daily Simple SOFR with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan; then, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, or to convert Daily SOFR Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Loans) until Administrative Agent (or, as applicable, Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (1) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Daily SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans, or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, (2) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period, and (3) any outstanding Daily SOFR Loans shall immediately be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans.

(b) Successor Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrower or Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) If adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining any relevant Interest Period of Term SOFR, including because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or CME or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. Dollar-denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which such interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a time and date determined by Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”).

59

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) if Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (y) if the events or circumstances of the type described in clauses (i) or (ii) above have occurred with respect to Daily Simple SOFR or the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Credit Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, and/or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 4.03 at any relevant interest payment date or the end of any payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar-denominated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar-denominated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(c) Notice and Implementation.

(i) Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify Borrower and each Lender in writing of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

(ii) Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner substantially consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Administrative Agent.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than the Floor, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(iv) In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, 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; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

4.04 Increased Costs Generally.

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

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

60

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to continuing, or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to SOFR (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

61

4.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense (but not lost profits) actually incurred by it as a result of:

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

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

(c) any assignment of a Term Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 13.12;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 4.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Term Rate Loan made by it at the Term Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded.

4.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

62

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04 or if Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or any additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.06(a), if such designation would eliminate the need for compensation or additional payments to such Lender by Borrower, then Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.12.

(c) Survival. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4 shall survive termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of Administrative Agent.

5. SECURITY.

5.01 Liens and Security Interest. To secure performance by the Loan Parties, directly or indirectly (as the case may be), of the payment and performance of the Obligations:

(a) (i) Each Guarantor and its General Partner, as applicable, shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties: (A) an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and lien in and to each applicable Collateral Account pursuant to an Assignment of Account for the Collateral Account and will enter into a Control Agreement with respect thereto; and (B) to the extent of their respective interests therein, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to the Collateral, including, without limitation, Capital Calls, Capital Commitments, and Capital Contributions, including, without limitation, any rights to make Capital Calls, receive payment of Capital Commitments and enforce the payment thereof pursuant to a Security Agreement and to enforce the payment thereof or any guarantees thereof now existing or hereafter arising. (ii) In order to secure further the payment and performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate Secured Parties’ right of setoff, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as subscription agent and the sole party entitled in the name of such Guarantor upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the sole purpose of repaying the Obligations, to make any Capital Calls upon the Investors pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreement and the Governing Agreement.

(b) (i) Each Approved Intermediary and its General Partner or managing member, as the case may be, shall grant to the applicable Guarantor, to the extent of their respective interests therein, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Capital Calls, Capital Commitments and Capital Contributions, including, without limitation, any rights to make Capital Calls, receive payment of Capital Commitments and enforce the payment thereof, pursuant to the applicable Intermediary Collateral Documents, related financing statements, and other documents satisfactory to the applicable Guarantor, and to enforce the payment thereof or any guarantees thereof now existing or hereafter arising. (ii) Each Guarantor shall collaterally assign to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, such Guarantor’s rights, titles, and interests in the Collateral of such Approved Intermediaries, including, without limitation, any rights to make such Capital Calls, receive payment of such Capital Commitments and enforce the payment thereof

5.02 Collateral Accounts; Capital Calls.

(a) Guarantor Collateral Accounts.

(i) Initial Guarantor shall require that all Investors wire-transfer to Bank of America, N.A., for further credit to Account No. 488106955493, reference “Invesco Commercial Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. Collateral Account” (the “Initial Guarantor Collateral Account”), all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any Investor to the capital of Initial Guarantor as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to the Capital Call Notices. In addition, Initial Guarantor shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Collateral Account described above any payments and monies that Initial Guarantor receives directly from its Investors as Capital Contributions.

63

(ii) Any additional Guarantor shall require that all Investors in such Person wire-transfer to Bank of America, N.A., for further credit to an account to be established (each, an “Additional Guarantor Collateral Account”), all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any Investor to the capital of such Guarantor as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to the Capital Call Notices. In addition, such Guarantor shall, upon receipt, deposit in such Additional Guarantor Collateral Account described above any payments and monies that such Guarantor receives directly from its Investors as Capital Contributions.

The Initial Guarantor Collateral Account and each Additional Guarantor Collateral Account (if any) are herein, collectively, the “Guarantor Collateral Accounts.”

(b) Approved Intermediary Collateral Accounts. In order to secure further the payment and the performance of the Obligations, the Loan Parties will direct each Approved Intermediary to require (and each such Approved Intermediary will agree, pursuant to the applicable Subscription Acknowledgment and Undertaking, to require) that the Investors in such Approved Intermediary wire-transfer to Bank of America, N.A., for further credit to an account to be established (each, an “Approved Intermediary Collateral Account” and, collectively with the Guarantor Collateral Accounts, the “Collateral Accounts”) all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any such Investor to the capital of such Approved Intermediary as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to the applicable Capital Call Notices. In addition, the Loan Parties will direct the applicable Approved Intermediaries to deposit (and each such Approved Intermediary will agree, pursuant to the applicable Subscription Acknowledgment and Undertaking, to deposit) into the applicable Approved Intermediary Collateral Account any payments and monies that such Approved Intermediary receives as Capital Contributions.

(c) No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer, nor any Lender undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to Capital Calls (except that Administrative Agent will comply with the provisions of each applicable Governing Agreement or the REIT Governing Documents with respect to timing and the provision of written notice, and with the requirements for making Capital Calls pursuant to the Loan Documents). None of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of any Guarantor or Approved Intermediary or take any other action with respect to any other matter which might arise in connection with such Constituent Documents or the Subscription Agreements, or any Capital Call (except with respect to those made by Administrative Agent in the name of such Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, which shall comply with the provisions of each applicable Governing Agreement or the REIT Governing Documents with respect to the issuance of Capital Calls, including with respect to timing, the provision of written notice and other requirements for making Capital Calls, and with the Loan Documents). 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 Guarantor, Approved Intermediary or any Investor. None of them has any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Capital Call or with respect to the investment or the use of the proceeds thereof.

64

(d) Capital Calls. In order that Lenders may monitor the Collateral and the Capital Commitments, no Guarantor and no Approved Intermediary, as applicable, shall issue any Capital Call Notice or otherwise request, notify, or demand that any Investor make any Capital Contribution, without delivering to Administrative Agent (which delivery may be via facsimile) simultaneously with delivery of the Capital Call Notices to any Investors, copies of the Capital Call Notice for each Investor from whom a Capital Contribution is being sought. Concurrently with the delivery of any Capital Call Notice, each Guarantor will deliver to Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate, demonstrating that the Available Loan Amount will not exceed the Principal Obligations after application of the subject Capital Contributions in accordance with the terms of the Capital Call Notice. Each Guarantor will deliver a report of all Investors failing to fund their Capital Contributions delivered every five Business Days beginning with the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date when such Capital Contributions are initially due pursuant to the related Capital Call therefor and ending once all Investors have funded their Capital Contributions. For the avoidance of doubt, such report will not be required if there are no Investors that have failed to fund their Capital Contributions.

(e) Use of Account. Any Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable, may withdraw funds from the applicable Collateral Account at any time or from time to time and has exclusive ownership and control over the Collateral Account, so long as at the time of such withdrawal and after giving effect thereto no Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing, unless, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, such Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable, has directed such withdrawn funds to be paid to Administrative Agent to pay any outstanding Mandatory Prepayment Amount, or otherwise to pay any outstanding Obligations, in which case Administrative Agent may restrict withdrawals to be directed to such purpose, and shall not deliver an Activation Notice (as defined in the Control Agreement) under the Control Agreement unless a distinct Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing, or results from an Event of Default in making such mandatory prepayment or payment of Obligations. Any withdrawal by a Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable, from the applicable Collateral Account shall be deemed a representation and warranty that no Cash Control Event exists at such time or would result from such withdrawal. Upon the occurrence of any Cash Control Event, the Administrative Agent is authorized to take exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, is hereby authorized, in the name of any Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and while an Event of Default exists, to notify any or all parties obligated to such Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable, with respect to the Capital Commitments to make all payments due or to become due thereon directly to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, at a different account number, or to initiate one (1) or more Capital Call Notices in order to pay the Obligations. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, none of the Secured Parties shall ever be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Capital Call Notices, Capital Commitments, or any Capital Contributions, or sums due or paid thereon. Administrative Agent shall give such Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable, prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.02(e), but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of any Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable, with respect to such action.

65

5.03 Approved Intermediary Collateral Documents. Each Approved Intermediary shall deliver such documentation as is reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, and in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, in order to provide to Secured Parties the full benefit of the intended Collateral, including without limitation: (a) an agreement, directed to the Approved Intermediary, of Investors that are investors in such Approved Intermediary to make capital contributions when called; (b) an assignment and pledge by such Approved Intermediary of such capital commitments, the related collateral account, and the right to call capital contributions; and (c) agreements of such Approved Intermediary similar to those agreements of Guarantors delivered pursuant to this Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to preservation of capital commitments of Investors, obligations to make capital contributions, limitations of amendments to constituent documents and restrictions on transfers of interests.

5.04 Subordination of Claims. As used herein, the term “Subordinated Claims” means, with respect to each Loan Party and General Partner and Approved Intermediaries, all debts and liabilities between or among any two (2) or more of such Persons, and, as to Investors, all debts and liabilities between any such Investor and any Loan Party or General Partner or Approved Intermediary, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of such Person or Persons thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Borrower, any Guarantor, General Partner or any Approved Intermediary (including, without limitation, by setoff pursuant to the terms of any applicable agreement). Subordinated Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of Borrower, any Guarantor, General Partner or any Approved Intermediary against an Investor under the Constituent Documents of such Person or under the Subscription Agreements. At any time that the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Loan Amount, and until the mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04 in connection therewith, if any, shall be paid and satisfied in full, or, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, neither Borrower nor any Guarantor nor General Partner nor any Approved Intermediary shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly any amount upon the Subordinated Claims, other than to obtain funds required to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04; provided that, unless (a) General Partner or Invesco, Ltd. or any of its Affiliates is in default with respect to its obligations to fund Capital Contributions; or (b) an Event of Default or Potential Default under Section 11.01(a), 11.01(h), 11.01(i) or a Mandatory Prepayment Event has occurred and is continuing, management fees shall be permitted to be paid to General Partner (or its Affiliate designated to receive management fees, as applicable), pursuant to the terms of the applicable Governing Agreement, the REIT Governing Documents or the Advisory Agreement, as applicable; provided further, the foregoing shall not restrict the Loan Parties’ ability to make the distributions set forth in Section 10.09.

Any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other encumbrances upon any Person’s assets securing payment of Subordinated Claims, including, but not limited to, any liens or security interests on an Investor’s Subscribed Interest in any Guarantor or in any Approved Intermediary, as applicable, shall be and remain inferior and subordinate in right of payment and of security to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other encumbrances upon an Investor’s assets securing such Investor’s obligations and liabilities to Secured Parties pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents executed by such Person, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Borrower, any Guarantor, General Partner, any Approved Intermediary or Secured Parties presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, neither Borrower, nor any Guarantor, nor General Partner, nor any Approved Intermediary shall: (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s or partnership right it may have against an Investor; (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief, or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interest, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of such Investor held by such Person; or (c) exercise any rights or remedies against an Investor under the Constituent Documents of such Person or the Subscription Agreements, provided that any action taken by Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties in the name of Borrower, any Guarantor, General Partner or any Approved Intermediary, or any action taken by Borrower, any Guarantor, General Partner or any Approved Intermediary that is required under any Loan Document or to comply with any Loan Document, shall not be a violation of this Section 5.04.

66

6. GUARANTY.

6.01 Guaranty of Payment. Subject to the limitation set forth below, Guarantors hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally, and jointly and severally guarantee to each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer, and Administrative Agent the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and the timely performance of all other obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all of the Obligations whenever arising. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of any Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including, without limitation, Debtor Relief Laws).

6.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or a guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Secured Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations or otherwise and each Guarantor hereby waives the right to require any Secured Party to make demand on or proceed against any Loan Party or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require any Secured Party to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Guarantor further agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Loan Party or any other guarantor of the Obligations for amounts paid under this Guaranty until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, all Commitments under this Credit Agreement have been terminated and no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from any Secured Party in connection with monies received under the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent any Secured Party from suing on the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or Lien on any Collateral, if any, securing the Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of each Guarantor that, subject to such Guarantor’s rights to raise defenses to payment that would be available to it if such Guarantor were named as the “Borrower” hereunder rather than as a Guarantor, its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. No Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Loan Party or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Loan Party. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party on this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty. The Obligations, and any part of them, shall

67

conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty. All dealings between any Loan Party, on the one (1) hand, and any Secured Party, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates to the Obligations all debts, liabilities and other obligations, whether direct, indirect, primary, secondary, several, joint and several or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts, liabilities and obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, book entry or otherwise, owing to such Guarantor by any other Loan Party; provided, however, that Borrower may make distributions consistent with the terms of Section 10.09.

6.03 Modifications. Each Guarantor agrees that: (a) all or any part of the Collateral now or hereafter held for the Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Secured Parties shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of the Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Loan Party and any other party liable for payment under the Loan Documents may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, this Credit Agreement (except for this Section 6) may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of any Loan Party or any other party liable for the payment of the Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

6.04 Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Secured Parties and of all extensions of credit to Borrower by the Secured Parties; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Credit Agreement) with respect to the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Secured Parties obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations, or the Secured Parties subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or encumbrances, if any; and (e) all other notices to which any Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.

6.05 Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the obligations of a Guarantor under this Section 6 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

6.06 Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one (1) hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11.02) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable)

68

as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

6.07 Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash and the termination of the Commitments, it will not exercise, and hereby waives, any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, offset, indemnification or other claims against any other Loan Party or any other guarantor of the Obligations, arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or required to be made by such Guarantor under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. After the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than any part of the Obligations that represents contingent contractual indemnities) and the termination of the Commitments, a Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against any other Loan Party all such rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, indemnification and offset, and all such other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

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

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

(b) Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantors shall be jointly and severally liable to the Secured Parties for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Loans, the Letters of Credit and the other Guaranteed Obligations, and the Secured Parties may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans, the Letters of Credit and the other Guaranteed Obligations against any one (1) or more Guarantors.

(c) Separate Exercise of Remedies. Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) may exercise remedies against each Guarantor and its property separately, whether or not Administrative Agent exercises remedies against any other Guarantor or its property. Administrative Agent may enforce one (1) or more Guarantors’ obligations without enforcing any other Guarantor’s obligations and vice versa. Any failure or inability of Administrative Agent to enforce one (1) or more Guarantors’ obligations shall not in any way limit Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of any other Guarantor. If Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one (1) or more Collateral Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Obligations only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Secured Parties from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, Administrative Agent’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Obligations secured by such Collateral Documents under the applicable state Law.

Following two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice, each Loan Party will give any representative of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or any of them, access during all business hours to, and permit their representatives to examine, copy, or make excerpts from, any and all books, records, and documents in the possession of such Loan Party and relating to its affairs, and to inspect any of the properties of such Loan Party; provided, however, that if an Event of Default exists, such inspection may be made without prior notice.

10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. So long as Lenders have any commitment to lend hereunder or to cause the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, and until payment and performance in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Loan Party and General Partner, as applicable, agrees that, without the written consent of Administrative Agent, based upon the approval of Required Lenders (unless the approval of Administrative Agent alone or a different number of Lenders is expressly permitted below):

10.01 Mergers, Dissolution, Jurisdiction of Formation.

(a) No Loan Party will merge, dissolve, liquidate, consolidate with or into any Person, or Dispose of (whether in one (1) transaction or a series of transaction) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) in favor of any Person (including, in each case, pursuant to a Division), unless such Loan Party is the surviving entity, nor shall General Partner merge or consolidate with or into any Person, unless General Partner is the surviving entity; provided that if any such merger involves two (2) or more Loan Parties or a Loan Party and General Partner, such merger shall not be consummated without prior confirmation from Administrative Agent that its Liens in the Collateral, after giving effect to such merger, have been preserved, or receipt by Administrative Agent of documentation it reasonably requires to so preserve such Liens.

83

Neither any Loan Party nor General Partner will take any action to dissolve or terminate such Loan Party or General Partner, including, without limitation, any action to sell or dispose of all or substantially all of the property of such Loan Party or General Partner.

(b) No Loan Party shall change its jurisdiction of formation without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Loan Party shall change its name, chief executive office and/or principal place of business without (i) providing at least thirty (30) days’ notice thereof to Administrative Agent, and (ii) during such period, performing all such acts and executing all such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect and maintain the Lenders’ first priority, perfected and exclusive Lien on the Collateral and otherwise to preserve and protect the rights of the Lenders in respect of such first priority, perfected and exclusive Lien.

10.02 Negative Pledge. Without the approval of all Lenders:

(a) none of the Loan Parties or General Partner nor any Approved Intermediary will create or suffer to exist any Lien upon the Collateral, other than a first priority security interest in and upon the Collateral to Lenders and customary rights of setoff and Liens, if any, of the depository bank with respect to deposits held in the Collateral Accounts; and

(b) Initial Guarantor will not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Lien upon, its Equity Interest in Borrower.

10.03 Fiscal Year and Accounting Method. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent alone (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Loan Party will change its fiscal year or method of accounting.

10.04 Constituent Documents. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent consistent with this Section: (a) no Guarantor nor any Approved Intermediary shall alter, amend, modify, supplement, terminate, or change any provision of its Governing Agreement (or any other Constituent Documents) or the Subscription Agreements of its Investors, affecting the Investors’ debts, duties, obligations or liabilities, or the rights, titles, security interests, liens, powers and privileges of such Loan Party, General Partner, or Secured Parties, in each case relating to Capital Call Notices, Capital Commitments, Capital Contributions or Unfunded Commitments; or (b) amend any leverage limitations set forth therein, in each case in any way that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Secured Parties (each, a “material amendment”). With respect to any proposed amendment, modification or change to any Constituent Document, the applicable Loan Party shall notify Administrative Agent of such proposal. Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion (that is, the determination of the other Lenders shall not be required) on Administrative Agent’s good faith belief, whether such proposed amendment, modification or change to such Constituent Document is a material amendment, and shall use reasonable efforts to notify the appropriate Loan Party of its determination within ten (10) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification pursuant to Section 13.07, provided that Administrative Agent will endeavor to make such determination prior to the end of such 10 Business Day period, to the extent reasonably possible. If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is a material amendment, the approval of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent will be required (unless the approval of all Lenders is required consistent with the terms of Section 13.01), and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request for such approval, distributing, as appropriate, the proposed amendment and any other relevant information provided by any Loan Party. If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is not a material amendment, the applicable Loan Party may make such amendment without the consent of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of Administrative Agent or the Lenders, a Loan Party may amend its Constituent Documents: (a) to admit new Investors to the extent permitted by this Credit Agreement; and (b) to reflect transfers of interests permitted by this Credit Agreement, provided that Borrower provides notice to Administrative Agent of same at least 15 Business Days prior to such amendment.

84

10.05 Transfer or Redemption of Interests, or Admission of, Investors.

(a) Transfer of Subscribed Interest. No Loan Party and no Approved Intermediary shall permit the transfer of the Subscribed Interest of: (i) any Included Investor without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, acting alone, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that, with respect to any proposed transfer by Invesco Realty, Inc. to any transferee, Invesco Ltd. shall provide an acceptable replacement guaranty with respect to such transferee in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, or (ii) any other Investor without prior written notice to Administrative Agent.

(b) Designation of Transferee. A transferee that meets the Applicable Requirement, as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, may be designated as an Included Investor without further consent. Designation of any other transferee as an Included Investor will be subject to the requirements set forth in the definition of Included Investor.

(c) Admission of Investors. No Loan Party and no Approved Intermediary shall admit any Person as an additional limited partner, member or shareholder, as applicable, if such Person is currently Subject to Sanctions. Borrower will give Administrative Agent prior written notice of the admission of any additional Investor. If, after admission or pursuant to a transfer of a Subscribed Interest by another Person, any Investor would hold 51% or more of the Equity Interests in Borrower, if any natural Person will hold 25% or more of the Equity Interests in Borrower, such Person may not be admitted nor acquire such Equity Interests by transfer until such Person is KYC Compliant.

(d) Documentation Requirements. Each Loan Party shall give prior written notice to Administrative Agent of the transfer by any Investor of its Subscribed Interest, and shall deliver copies of documents relating to such transfer and information about the transferee as reasonably required by Administrative Agent in order to effect its due diligence under this Credit Agreement prior to such transfer. Each Guarantor and each Approved Intermediary shall make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any Person admitted as a substitute or new Investor (whether due to a transfer by an existing Investor or otherwise) (a “Subsequent Investor”) such documents as would have been required under Section 7.01(a)(xiii) if such transferee had been an Investor on the Closing Date, all as satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. In the event any Person is admitted as an additional or substitute Investor, the Loan Parties will promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a revised Exhibit A to this Credit Agreement, containing the names of each Investor and the Capital Commitments of each.

(e) Funding Requirements. Prior to the effectiveness of any transfer by an Included Investor, the applicable Loan Party shall calculate whether, taking into account the Capital Commitments of the Included Investors as if such transfer had occurred, the transfer would cause the Principal Obligation to exceed the Available Loan Amount, and shall make any Capital Calls required to pay any resulting mandatory prepayment under Section 3.04 prior to permitting such transfer.

85

(f) Redemptions. General Partner shall not permit any Redemption of any Subscribed Interest unless explicitly permitted pursuant to this Section 10.05(f) and unless the Guarantors have sufficient Available Cash. If any Redemption of Subscribed Interests by an Investor would result in a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04, such mandatory prepayment shall be calculated and paid to the Lenders prior to the effectiveness of such Redemption, and such prepayment shall be subject to Section 4.05. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Guarantors and Approved Intermediaries shall, following delivery of any Redemption Notice by any Investor to such Guarantor, such Approved Intermediary or the General Partner, promptly but in any event within two (2) Business Days: (i) notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Redemption Notice and the amount and effective date of the Redemption contemplated thereby; and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of all Redemption Notices duly executed by the applicable Investor and certified to the Administrative Agent by the Responsible Officer of such Guarantor or Approved Intermediary.

10.07 ERISA Compliance. (a) No Loan Party, no Approved Intermediary nor, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, any ERISA Affiliate shall establish, maintain, contribute to, or incur any liability with respect to, any Plan; (b) without the approval of all Lenders, no Loan Party shall take any action that would cause it to become an entity deemed to hold Plan Assets for purposes of ERISA or the Code; (c) no Loan Party that operates as an Operating Company shall change its Annual Valuation Period without giving prior written notice to Administrative Agent; and (d) no Loan Party shall take any action, or omit to take any action which would give rise to a “non-exempt prohibited transaction” under Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C), or (D) of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA and would subject Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any tax, penalty, damages or any other claim or relief under the Code or ERISA, assuming (1) that no portion of the assets used by any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents constitute Plan Assets, or (2) if all or a portion of the assets used by any Lender constitute Plan Assets, the Lender that used such assets complies with all of the applicable conditions of a prohibited transaction exemption with respect to such assets.

10.08 Environmental Matters. Except for such conditions as are in or will promptly be brought into compliance with relevant Environmental Laws or otherwise would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower: (a) shall not cause any Hazardous Material to be generated, placed, held, located or disposed of on, under or at, or transported to or from, any Property of Borrower in material violation of Environmental Law; or (b) shall not permit any such Property to be used as a dump site or storage site (whether permanent or temporary) for any Hazardous Material in material violation of Environmental Law.

10.09 Limitations on Dividends and Distributions.

(a) Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall declare or pay any dividends or distributions except as permitted under its Constituent Documents.

(b) Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall declare or pay any dividends or distributions if: (i) any Event of Default exists; or (ii) a Potential Default exists; provided, however, that if Initial Guarantor becomes a REIT as permitted under Section 10.01, each Loan Party shall have the right to make distributions or pay dividends in the ordinary course in order to ensure that Initial Guarantor continues to qualify as a REIT.

86

10.10 Limitation on Debt. Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries, including Borrower, shall not incur Indebtedness except in compliance with the Governing Agreements; provided that Initial Guarantor shall not incur Indebtedness such that Leverage (as defined in the REIT Governing Documents) in relation to Net Assets (as defined in the REIT Governing Documents) exceeds 300% without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

10.11 Limitation on General Partner. No General Partner shall create or suffer to exist any Lien upon its Subscribed Interest in any Guarantor or any Approved Intermediary, as applicable, nor shall any General Partner engage in any activities or operate any other business other than to serve as general partner of the applicable Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable. No General Partner will delegate: (a)(i) any of its rights to issue Capital Call Notices, (ii) any of its rights to require that the Investors make Capital Contributions or (iii) any other right or remedy relating to the Collateral hereunder (including enforcement of the Investors’ obligation to make Capital Contributions in accordance with the applicable Governing Agreement or REIT Governing Documents) or (b) any of its rights to consent to the transfer by any Investor of its Subscribed Interest in Initial Guarantor, any other Guarantor or Approved Intermediary, as applicable, or to any cancellation, termination, reduction, excuse, suspension, deferral, repurchase or withdrawal in any manner of the Capital Commitment of any Investor or the obligation of any Investor to fund the same pursuant to Capital Calls.

10.12 Limitation on Guarantor Transfers. (a) No Guarantor shall sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Lien upon, all or any portion of its interest in Borrower, any other Guarantor or any Approved Intermediary, as applicable; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit: (i) the issuance of shares in such Guarantor to the extent necessary to allow such Guarantor to qualify as a REIT, if applicable; or (ii) the sale, transfer, or assignment of any portion of a Guarantor’s interest in Borrower to any Person that has become an additional Guarantor hereunder pursuant to Section 2.16; and (b) no Approved Intermediary shall sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Lien upon, all or any portion of its interest in Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Approved Intermediary, as applicable.

10.16 Anti-Corruption Laws. No Loan Party will, directly or indirectly (including without limitation via any Approved Intermediary), use the proceeds of any Credit Extension for any purpose which would breach the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act 2010 (as applicable), and other applicable anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Administrative Agent may, and, upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall: (i) suspend the Commitments of Lenders and any obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions until such Event of Default is cured; (ii) terminate the Commitment of Lenders and any obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions hereunder; (iii) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable (including the liability to fund the Letter of Credit Obligations hereunder), 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 all of which each Loan Party hereby expressly waives, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (iv) require that Borrower Cash Collateralize its respective Letter of Credit Obligations (in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto); (v) exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth in Section 5.02, including, but not limited to, the initiation of Capital Call Notices of the Capital Commitments; or (vi) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable law or agreement; provided, however, that if any Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(h) or Section 11.01(i) shall occur, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of Borrower to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, 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 Loan Party hereby expressly waives.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing that can be cured by the making of a Capital Call on the Investors, then prior to exercising the rights of Administrative Agent to issue Capital Calls on Unfunded Commitments, Administrative Agent will be required to give at least five Business

90

Days’ prior written notice to Borrower of its intention to do so (the “Notice Period”); provided that no such notice shall be required: (i) after the Maturity Date; (ii) with respect to an Event of Default under Section 11.01(h) or Section 11.01(i); or (iii) if the applicable Event of Default arose from the failure of any Guarantor to make a Capital Call, or make a payment of the Obligations following a Capital Call, in each case, that is required to be made herein. If General Partner issues a Capital Call in an aggregate amount sufficient to cure such Event of Default within the Notice Period, then Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prohibited from exercising remedies set forth in the Loan Documents (other than any actions required to protect the Lenders in any insolvency proceeding) for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after the Notice Period; provided further that, if (x) the General Partner does not make such Capital Call prior to expiration of the Notice Period or (y) the application of the proceeds of any such Capital Call is not sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account) to cure such Event of Default, then, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent will be permitted to issue Capital Call(s) to repay the Obligations and to exercise all other remedies.

11.03 Performance by Administrative Agent. Should any Loan Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person. Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to notify the Loan Parties in writing before or promptly after taking any such action, but its failure to do so will not affect the validity of such action, or be deemed a material breach hereof. In the event Administrative Agent takes any such action, each Loan Party shall, at the request of Administrative Agent pay within two (2) Business Days (or shall pay within 15 Business Days of demand to the extent that it is necessary for General Partner to issue Capital Call Notices) any amount expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of any Loan Party, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Loan Party, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Loan Party, any Approved Intermediary, or General Partner, or any related Person.

11.04 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 11.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Obligations has automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 11.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.15, be applied by Administrative Agent in the following order:

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

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

91

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

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

Fifth, to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.07 and 2.14; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations), to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Sections 2.07(c) and 2.14, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

12. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

12.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

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

12.03 Exculpatory Provisions. 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

92

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that 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 Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, 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 any Loan Party, any Approved Intermediary, General Partner or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.02 and 13.01); 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. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default (except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless and until notice describing the same is given in writing to Administrative Agent by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the applicable Guarantor, a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

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

93

12.05 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one (1) or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

12.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Loan Parties. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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 (buts shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that, in no event shall such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as the 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 Borrower and such Person and remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable): (i) 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 security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed); and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then 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 and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above; provided that, in no event shall such

94

successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. 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 as provided in Section 4.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower 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 and Section 13.06 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: (x) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent; and (y) after such resignation or removal for so long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (A) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Secured Parties, and (B) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

(d) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.06 will also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer effective upon the appointment of a successor Letter of Credit Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as Letter of Credit Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.07(c). In the event of any such resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), subject to such successor’s consent; provided, however, that no failure by the Loan Parties to appoint any such successor will affect the resignation of Bank of America as Letter of Credit Issuer. Upon the appointment by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of a successor Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder: (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer; (ii) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

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

95

12.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger shall have no powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

12.09 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 Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (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 under Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 and otherwise 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

(c) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent hereunder.

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

12.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.09, Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit prior to draws thereon (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have been made); or (b) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (c) subject to Section 13.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 12.10.

96

12.11 Certain ERISA Matters.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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 the Letter of Credit Issuer to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff: (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer may have. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

(a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and

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

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to: (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender); (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14; or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in the Letter of Credit Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

100

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation, but only to the extent that the Lender selling such participation was itself entitled to setoff or counterclaim and, no such right by a Participant may be exercised unless Participant agrees to disclose such Participant’s identity and notice thereof is first delivered to Borrower.

13.04 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment to any Secured Party, or any Secured Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, each in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.02 for the benefit of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit: (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (b) the Letter of Credit Issuer from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Letter of Credit Issuer) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.02 (subject to the terms of Section 13.03); or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; then: (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.02; and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 13.03, any Secured Party may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

101

13.06 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay: (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder; and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section; or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), actually incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including Borrower or any other Loan Party) other than 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, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Letter of Credit Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) any actual 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 Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE (BUT SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING PROVISO); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses: (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; or (B) result from a claim brought by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.01, this Section 13.06(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

102

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

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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 Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

13.07 Notices.

(a) Notices Generally. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing (except where telephonic instructions or notices are expressly authorized herein to be given) and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as follows, except where electronic delivery is authorized, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

103

If to any Lender, in care of Administrative Agent, at its notice address and numbers set forth on Schedule 13.07 attached hereto (as such Schedule may be revised when and if Lenders are added or deleted). Each Lender agrees to provide to Administrative Agent a written notice stating such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s address, facsimile number, telephone number, email address and the name of a contact person, and Administrative Agent may rely on such written notice for purposes of delivering any notice, demand, request or other communication under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender unless and until a Lender provides Administrative Agent with a written notice designating a different address, facsimile number, telephone number, email address or contact person.

(ii) Any party may change its address for purposes of this Credit Agreement by giving notice of such change to the other parties pursuant to this Section 13.07. With respect to any notice received by Administrative Agent from any Loan Party or any Investor not otherwise addressed herein, Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly of the receipt of such notice, and shall provide copies thereof to Lenders. When determining the prior days’ notice required for any Request for Credit Extension or other notice to be provided by a Loan Party or an Investor hereunder, the day the notice is delivered to Administrative Agent (or such other applicable Person) shall not be counted, but the day of the related Credit Extension or other relevant action shall be counted.

(b) Effectiveness of Delivery. Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices sent via telephone, shall be deemed to have been given on the day and at the time reciprocal communication (i.e., direct communication between two (2) or more persons, which shall not include voice mail messages) with one (1) of the individuals designated to receive notice occurs during a call to the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party. Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (c) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (c).

(c) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer or Borrower may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

104

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

(e) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE LOAN PARTY MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE LOAN PARTY MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN PARTY MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or Administrative Agent’s transmission of Loan Party Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Borrower, any Guarantor, General Partner, any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer, or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(f) Reliance by Secured Parties. The Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic or electronic Loan Notices and Letter of Credit Applications) purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if: (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein; or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify each Secured Party and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, other than in connection with the gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Person. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

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

(b) Assignments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any Lender may at any time assign to one (1) 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 (including for purposes of this clause (b), participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subclause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitments are not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

107

(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 Loans or the Commitment assigned.

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

(A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless: (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment; or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that, Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C) the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. An assignment by any Lender, unless otherwise agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall be at such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s expense, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Administrative Agent incurred in connection with any such assignment. The Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made: (A) to a Loan Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Loan Party; (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); or (C) to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vi) Borrower Requested Assignments. Each assignment made as a result of a demand by Borrower under Section 13.12 shall be arranged by Borrower after consultation with Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Credit Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another assignment or assignments that together constitute an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender.

108

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

(c) Effect of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 13.11, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 4.01, 4.04, 4.05 and 13.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Assignee Lender, and the applicable existing Note or Notes shall be returned to Borrower. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (e) of this Section.

(d) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations 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 each Loan Party, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Loan Party or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), or a Loan Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, a Defaulting Lender or a Competitor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit Obligations) owing to it); provided that: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) each Loan Party, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 13.06(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 13.01(a), Section 13.01(b)(viii) or Section 13.01(b)(ix) that directly affects such Participant. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.04, and 4.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.11 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant: (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.06 and 13.12 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.01, 4.04 or 4.05 with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.02 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.03 as though it were a Lender.
