Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, Committed Lender agrees, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to make Loans to Borrower at any time and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount up to Committed Lender’s Commitment at any such time; provided, however, that after making any such Loans: (a) Committed Lender’s Principal Obligation would not exceed Committed Lender’s Commitment as of such date (minus any amounts funded in respect of a Loan hereunder (but not used to fund such Loan and accordingly not included in the Principal Obligation) by Committed Lender as a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity

Agreement); (b) the Principal Obligation of Committed Lender’s Lender Group would not exceed the aggregate the Lender Group Limit of its Lender Group; and (c) the Principal Obligation would not exceed the Available Commitment.

No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto hereunder would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan.

2.02 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Request for Borrowing. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loan or Base Rate Loans from one Type of Loan to another, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Funding Agent, which may be given by telephone. Unless otherwise agreed by Funding Agent, each such notice must be received by Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing other than for a Base Rate Loan; (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the conversion of Base Rate Loans to another Type of Loan, the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan) to another type of Loan or the continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans; and (iii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Funding 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 a Eurodollar Rate Loan, Floating LIBOR Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan to another Type of Loan, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans; (B) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day, the “Loan Date”); (C) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued; (D) if any portion of such Borrowing is not to be funded by Conduit Lender through the issuance of Commercial Paper, whether such portion of such Borrowing is to be funded instead as a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan (it being understood that if Conduit Lender elects to fund any portion of a Loan through its Liquidity Provider, Funding Agent shall determine whether such portion shall bear interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate for the period prior to the time such portion of such Loan is funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper); (E) the Type of Loans to which any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loan or Base Rate Loans are to be converted; (F) with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto; and (G) to which account the proceeds of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation should be directed. If Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, then the applicable Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans, and any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. For avoidance of doubt, no Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan shall have an Interest Period. Each Loan Notice shall be accompanied or preceded by: (A) a Borrowing Base Certificate dated the date of such Loan Notice; and (B) such documents as are required to satisfy any applicable conditions precedent as provided in Section 5, and no Loan Notice shall be valid hereunder for any purpose unless it shall have been accompanied or preceded by the information and other documents required to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02.

(b) Conduit Lender Determination and Committed Lender Commitment. Upon receipt of a Loan Notice, Funding Agent shall request the Conduit Lender (if any) in its Lender

Group to make the Loan, and the Conduit Lender may from time to time during the Availability Period, in its sole discretion, agree or decline to make the Loan. At no time will Conduit Lender have any obligation to fund a Loan. At all times on and after the Conduit Investment Termination Date for Conduit Lender, or if Conduit Lender has failed for whatever reason to fund its portion of a Borrowing in full, all Loans shall be made by the Committed Lenders. At any time when Conduit Lender has rejected a request for Loan (it being understood that if Conduit Lender does not fund any Loan in relation to which all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02 have been satisfied on the date set forth in the applicable Loan Notice, Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the request for Loan), Funding Agent shall so notify Committed Lender, and Committed Lender shall make such Loan in accordance with its respective Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02(b) or elsewhere in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, Committed Lender shall not be obligated to provide Funding Agent or Borrower with funds in connection with a Loan in an amount that would result in Committed Lender’s Principal Obligation exceeding its Commitment then in effect (minus any amounts funded in respect of a Loan hereunder (but not used to fund such Loan and accordingly not included in the Principal Obligation) by Committed Lender as a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement), and all Loans funded by Conduit Lender shall be CP Rate Loans.

(c) Loan Notice Irrevocable. Each Loan Notice completed and signed by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.02(a) shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower, and Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of Conduit Lender, through a Liquidity Agreement), as a result of any failure by Borrower to complete such Borrowing, continuation or conversion including any loss (including loss of profit) or expense reasonably incurred by Funding Agent or any Lender, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of Conduit Lender, pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender (or the applicable Liquidity Provider(s)) (including funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) in order to fund such Borrowing, continuation or conversion.

(d) Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not have the right to have more than five (5) Eurodollar Rate Loans in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period.

(e) Continuations and Conversions of Eurodollar Rate Loans and Automatic Continuation of CP Rate Loans. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Potential Default, no Base Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loans may be requested as, converted to or, as applicable, continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Lenders. Any CP Rate Loan shall automatically continue as a CP Rate Loan without any further action of Borrower.

2.03 Minimum Loan Amounts. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000, and each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Base 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 Base Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments.

2.04 Funding.

(a) Funding by Committed Lender. Conduit Lender and Committed Lender, as the case may be, shall, in accordance with the terms hereof, on any Loan Date make the proceeds of its Applicable Percentage of each Borrowing available to Funding Agent in Dollars at Funding Agent’s Office for the account of the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Loan Date in immediately available funds, and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, Funding Agent shall promptly deposit such proceeds in immediately available funds in Borrower’s account at Funding Agent specified in the Loan Notice, or, if requested by Borrower in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested.

(b) Commercial Paper. Conduit Lender confirms that, to the extent permitted by its commercial paper program documentation, it intends to fund all Loans hereunder through the issuance of its Commercial Paper at all times prior to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the termination date specified in its Liquidity Agreement, an Event of Default or certain other circumstances occurring in the financial or Commercial Paper markets in general or with respect to the Loan Documents, or Borrower in particular which, in the opinion of Conduit Lender or its Funding Agent or Administrator, make funding the Loans through the issuance of Commercial Paper reasonably inadvisable.

2.05 Interest.

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

(i) (A) each CP Rate Loan funded by Conduit Lender through the issuance of Commercial Paper shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the CP Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for CP Rate Loans, and (B) each CP Rate Loan funded by Conduit Lender through its Liquidity Provider shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Floating LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for CP Rate Loans or the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for CP Rate Loans, each in accordance with Section 2.02, for each day in such Interest Period prior to the day on which such funding has been refinanced through the issuance of Commercial Paper and at the CP Rate for the remainder of such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for CP Rate Loans;

(ii) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.02;

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

(iv) each Floating LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Floating LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Floating LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.02.

(b) Default Rate.

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

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of the Obligations) payable by 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 Lenders (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.05(a) above), 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 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.

2.06 Determination of Rate and Billing. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing or any portion thereof shall become effective, without prior notice to Borrower, automatically as of the opening of business of Funding Agent on the date of said change. Funding Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Committed Lender of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate and Floating LIBOR Rate by Funding Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The applicable CP Rate for the immediately preceding calendar month shall be determined for Conduit Lender by the Funding Agent and reported, together with a calculation of any accrued interest and fees for such period (but excluding any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.08) payable to Conduit Lender on the Maturity Date, to the Funding Agent and the Borrower by 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. The Funding Agent will ▇▇▇▇ the Borrower on behalf of all Lenders with respect to interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loans and CP Rate Loans.

2.07 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely for the purposes permitted under the Governing Document. None of the Lenders or Funding Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, and none of the Lenders or Funding Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans are for purposes permitted above. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any continuation or conversion thereof in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by Funding Agent or any Lender as to whether any investment by Borrower is permitted by the terms of the Governing Document.

2.08 Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3, Borrower shall pay to Funding Agent, for the account of Committed Lender, an unused commitment fee which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the product of: (i) the average daily difference during the immediately preceding calendar quarter between (A) Committed Lender’s Commitment, and (B) Committed Lender’s Lender Group’s outstanding Principal Obligation during such calendar quarter and (ii) the rate equal to 1.00% per annum. The unused commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the Maturity Date. Borrower and Committed Lender acknowledge and agree that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to Committed Lender 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 5.02 are satisfied.

2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest with respect to the Base Rate (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). 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 day.

3. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

3.01 Notes.

(a) The Borrowings funded by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Funding Agent in the Register in the ordinary course of business. 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. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender (or its Funding Agent, if applicable) and the accounts and records of Funding Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Funding Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Any Funding Agent, on behalf of any Lender member of its Lender Group, may request that the Loans to be made by such Lender Group to the Borrower shall be evidenced by promissory notes. If so requested, the Borrower shall issue such Notes. Each such Note shall: (a) be payable to the Funding Agent for such Lender Group or such other administrator or trustee for the Lender member of such Lender Group as such Funding Agent may designate (or, if requested by such Funding Agent, to such Funding Agent and its registered assigns); (b) bear interest in accordance with the provisions hereof; (c) be in the form of Exhibit B, attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (d) be made by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of Funding Agent, to reissue new Notes, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to Committed Lender or Conduit Lender and to any Assignee of such Lender in accordance with Section 11.11, in substitution for the Notes previously issued by the Borrower to the Funding Agent or other party, as appropriate and in accordance herewith for the affected Lender, and such previously issued Notes shall be returned to the Borrower 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 Funding Agent, consistent with the provisions of Sections 2.06 and 2.09, 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 Funding Agent.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations, including any interest payable on any Loan prepaid pursuant to Section 3.05, shall be due and payable: (i) in arrears on the Maturity Date, (ii) on each other date of any reduction of the Principal Obligation hereunder (other than a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 3.05); and (iii) with respect to 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 Funding Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

3.03 Payments of Obligations.

(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 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 Borrower hereunder shall be made to Funding Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders in its Lender Group to which such payment is owed, at Funding Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Funds received after 1:00 p.m. shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by Funding 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 share of each payment received by Funding Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders on the Obligations. 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. Each Funding Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to apply the amounts received in respect of such repayments to the outstanding Loans of the Lenders members of its Lender Group so as to minimize broken funding payments payable pursuant to Section 4.05.

(c) General Order of Application. Each such repayment shall be applied to repay all outstanding Loans ratably. All payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner: (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including Attorney Costs) arising under the terms hereof; (b) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; and (d) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.

3.04 Mandatory Prepayment.

(a) Available Loan Amount. If, on any day, the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Commitment (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event, the application of any Aggregate Concentration Limit or Individual Concentration Limit or any other

reduction in the Unfunded Commitment), then Borrower shall pay on demand to Funding Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an amount sufficient that, after giving effect to such prepayment and any Capital Calls to fund it, the Principal Obligation would no longer exceed the Available Commitment, in immediately available funds, within fifteen (15) Business Days.

(b) Proceeds under Loan Sale Agreement. If, on any Business Day, Borrower receives any proceeds from the sale of any asset under a Loan Sale Agreement, then Borrower shall pay to Funding Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, such proceeds from such sale.

3.05 Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, upon notice to Funding Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that such notice must be received by Funding Agent not later than: (A) 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Loans accruing interest at the Eurodollar Rate or the CP Rate; and (B) 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate; and (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment, if applicable, the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. 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. With respect to any Loan prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.05, all accrued interest thereon shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.02(b) and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4 with respect thereto shall be promptly paid following receipt of an accurate and correct invoice for such amounts. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its applicable Repayment Percentage; provided, however, principal prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be first applied to the Principal Obligation of outstanding Repayment Obligations (until such Principal Obligation is paid in full) and second to all other Principal Obligations.

3.06 Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. Borrower may, upon notice to the Funding Agent, terminate the aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) 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 Available Commitments. The Funding Agent will promptly notify the Committed Lender of any such notice of termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of Committed Lender according to its pro rata share thereof. 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 the principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Loan; and (b) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to Funding Agent and Borrower. In such event, the Funding Agent for such Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Funding 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 2.06, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement, Committed Lender shall, regardless of Committed Lender’s actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by the Borrower 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 Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then: (A) the applicable Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Withholding Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below; (B) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the 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 or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes 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.

(iii) If any applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by any applicable Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then: (A) the applicable Withholding Agent, as required by such Law, 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) the applicable Withholding Agent, to the extent required by such Law, 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 the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. 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 Funding Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(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, such Lender 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 the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to Funding Agent), or by Funding Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify Funding Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Funding Agent as required pursuant to Section 4.01(e)(ii).

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor: (A) the Funding Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Funding Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so); (B) Funding Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Person’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (C) Funding Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to Person, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Funding 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 by Funding Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Funding Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Funding Agent under this Section 4.01(c)(ii).

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by Borrower or Funding Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or by Funding Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 4.01, Borrower shall deliver to Funding Agent or Funding Agent shall deliver to Borrower 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 Funding Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Recipients; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Funding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Funding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Funding 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 Funding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Funding Agent as will enable Borrower or Funding Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. A Liquidity Provider that is a Foreign Recipient shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.01 unless Borrower is notified of the Liquidity Agreement and such Liquidity Provider, for the benefit of Borrower, complies with this clause (e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A), 4.01 and 4.01) 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 Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Funding 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 Funding Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

(1) in the case of a Foreign Recipient claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party: (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of an appropriate IRS Form W-8BEN (including, if applicable, IRS Form W-8BEN-E) 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, an appropriate IRS Form W-8BEN (including, if applicable, IRS Form W-8BEN-E) 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) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code; (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1 to the effect that such Foreign Recipient is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a

“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Recipient is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (including, if applicable IRS FormW-8BEN-E), 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 Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Recipient 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 Recipient shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Funding Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Recipient becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Funding Agent), executed an appropriate IRS Form W-8BEN (including, if applicable, IRS Form W-8BEN-E) of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or Funding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Funding Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Recipient,

or have any obligation to pay to any Recipient, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Recipient, 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 the 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 respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), 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, agree 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, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this subsection 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 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 the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.01, the term “Lender” includes any Liquidity Provider and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

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

4.02 Illegality. If any Funding Party determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Funding Party or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Funding Party to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Funding Party to Borrower through the Funding Agent: (a) any obligation of such Funding Party to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans making Floating LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans (or Floating LIBOR Rate Loans) shall be suspended; and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Funding Party making or maintaining Base Rate Loans for which the interest rate is determined by reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate, the interest rate for Base Rate Loans made by such Funding Party shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Funding Agent without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate, in each case until such Funding Party notifies its Funding Agent (which promptly notifies Funding Agent and Borrower) that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice: (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Funding Party (with a copy to Funding Agent), convert all LIBOR Rate Loans and Floating LIBOR Rate Loans of such Funding Party to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate for which shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Funding Agent without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (if applicable), if such Funding Party may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or, if such Funding Party may not lawfully continue to maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, immediately; and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Funding Party determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, Funding Agent shall

during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Funding Party without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate until Funding Agent is advised in writing by such Funding Party that it is no longer illegal for such Funding Party to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Floating LIBOR Rate. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.

4.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof: (a) Funding Agent determines that: (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan; or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR (A) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or (B) in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan (in each case, with respect to clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”); or (b) Funding Agent or the Lenders determine that for any reason the (i) Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or (ii) the Floating LIBOR Rate with respect to a proposed Floating LIBOR Rate Loan, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Funding Parties of funding such Loan; Funding Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Funding Party. Thereafter: (x) the obligation of the Funding Parties, as applicable, to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods); and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Floating LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Floating LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Funding Agent (upon the instruction of the Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or of Floating LIBOR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Floating LIBOR Rate Loan) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate, in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Funding Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section, Funding Agent, in consultation with Borrower and the Lenders, may establish an alternative rate to be used in substitution for the LIBOR in calculating the interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case such alternative rate shall apply in calculating interest with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) Funding Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section, (2) Funding Agent or the Lenders notify Funding Agent and Borrower that such alternative rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Funding Parties of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Funding Party determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Funding Party or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Funding Party to do any of the foregoing and provides Funding Agent and Borrower written notice thereof, provided, however, that to the extent an alternative rate is approved by the Funding Agent in connection herewith, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, further, that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Funding Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Funding Agent.

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 Funding Party;

(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 Funding Party or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or made or funded by a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Funding Party of making, converting, continuing, funding, or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make or fund any such Loan or to advance funds under a Liquidity Agreement), , or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Funding Party (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Funding Party, the Borrower Party pay to such Funding Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Funding Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Funding Party determines that any Change in Law affecting such Funding Party, any Lending Office of such Funding Party or such Funding Party’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Funding Party’s capital or on the capital of such Funding Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Funding Party or the Loans made by such Funding Party or any obligation to advance funds under a Liquidity Agreement, to a level below that which such Funding Party or such Funding Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Funding Party’s policies and the policies of such Funding Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and such Funding Party’s desired return on capital), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Funding Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Funding Party or such Funding Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Funding Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Funding Party 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. In determining such amount, such Funding Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Borrower shall pay such Funding Party 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 Funding Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Funding Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower Party

shall not be required to compensate a Funding Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Funding Party notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Funding Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

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

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR 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 Funding Party to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan, in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, other than a Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or CP 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 11.12;

including any loss or expense (excluding any loss of anticipated profits) 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 the customary administrative fees charged by such Lender or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to any applicable Funding Party under this Section 4.05, each applicable Funding Party shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other Borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. In the case of a CP Rate Loan, the actual out-of-pocket loss to Conduit Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by Conduit Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such CP Rate Loan from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan, if the interest rate payable on such amount were calculated by reference to the CP Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the sum of (x) to the extent all or a portion of such principal amount remains outstanding hereunder, the amount of interest actually accrued during the remainder of such Interest Period on such principal amount, and (y) to the extent such principal amount does not remain outstanding hereunder, the income, if any, actually received during the remainder of such period by the Conduit Lender from investing such portion of such principal amount.

With respect to any Lender that is not a bank, the foregoing calculation shall be made using the rates that would be applicable to the applicable Funding Agent as a proxy for such Lender. A certificate of a Funding Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Funding Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 4.05 and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

4.06 Mitigation Obligations. If any Funding Party requests compensation under Section 4.04, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Funding Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Funding Party pursuant to Section 4.01, or if any Funding Party gives a notice pursuant to Section 4.02, then, at the request of Borrower, such Funding Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Funding Party, 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; and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Funding Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Funding Party. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Funding Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.

4.07 Survival. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4 shall survive termination of the aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder or resignation of the Funding Agent.

(iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by s Funding Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) Funding Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Lenders; or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment, Funding Agent shall not be deemed 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 Funding Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless and until notice describing the same is given in writing to s Funding Agent by Borrower or a Lender.

10.03 Reliance by Funding Agent or Lender. Funding Agent and Lender 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. Funding 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 that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Funding Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Funding Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Funding Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), 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.

10.04 Delegation of Duties. Funding Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Funding Agent. Funding 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 Funding 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 Funding Agent. Funding 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 Funding Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

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

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.01 Amendments. Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, other than in accordance with its terms, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by Borrower, the Funding Agent and the Committed Lenders having Principal Obligations and unused Commitments representing a majority of the Principal Obligations and unused Commitments at such time.

11.02 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender 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) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the Obligations owing to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document owing to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not Funding Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and Funding Agent promptly after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.03 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment to Funding Agent or any Lender, or Funding Agent or any Lender 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 Funding Agent or such Lender 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 severally agrees to pay to Funding Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Funding 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.

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at Law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Funding Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 for the benefit of all Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit: (a) Funding Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Funding Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.02; or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding

relative to Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Funding Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; then: (i) the Lender shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Funding Agent pursuant to Section 9.02; and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso, any Lender may, with the consent of the Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Lenders.

11.05 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay: (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses actually incurred by Funding Agent , in connection with 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), including all Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of a single counsel (or any local or special counsel reasonably retained for Funding Agent and Lenders) reasonably and actually incurred in connection with the foregoing; and (ii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by Funding Agent and any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section; or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred during any “workout”, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans, including all Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of a single counsel or any local or special counsel reasonably retained for Funding Agent and Lenders.

(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Related Party thereof, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (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), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including Borrower) 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 Funding 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 the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom; (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by 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 or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower, 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; 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 Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable

judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 11.05(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Committed Lender. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 11.05 to be paid by it to Funding Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Committed Lender agrees to pay to Funding Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, Committed Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Funding Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Funding Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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 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.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 11.06 shall survive the resignation of Funding Agent; the replacement of any Lender; the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

Each Lender agrees to provide to Funding Agent a written notice stating such Lender’s address, fax number, telephone number, email address and the name of a contact person, and Funding Agent may, unless otherwise provided herein, 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 Funding Agent with a written notice designating a different address, fax 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 11.06. With respect to any notice received by Funding Agent from Borrower or any Investor not otherwise addressed herein, Funding 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 Borrower or an Investor hereunder, the day the notice is delivered to Funding Agent (or such other applicable Person) shall not be counted, but the day of the related Credit Extension or other relevant action shall be counted.

Notices sent 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 fax 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 or more persons, which shall not include voice mail messages) with one of the individuals designated to receive notice occurs during a call to the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party. Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (c) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (c).

Funding Agent 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.

(d) Effectiveness of E-mail Notice. Unless Funding 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.

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.

11.10 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. Except as otherwise provided here, Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender, and neither any Lender or Funding Agent may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clauses (e) of this Section 11.10 and Section 11.11; (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (c) of this Section 11.10; or (iii) by

way of pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (d) of this Section 11.10 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(b) Register. Funding Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at Funding Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Lender Group Joinder Agreement delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Funding Agents, Lenders, and the Commitments of the Committed Lender of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Funding Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Funding Agent or Lender hereunder, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, each Lender Group with more than one Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, assign to another Conduit Lender in its Lender Group all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding Obligations and rights to payment of Principal Obligations and interest), as determined by the Funding Agent from time to time. Each such assignment shall be recorded on the books and records of the Funding Agent and the relevant Conduit Lenders, without the need to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. For all purposes of this Credit Agreement and all related documents, with respect to each assignment under this paragraph the relevant Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have the benefit of an executed, delivered, accepted and recorded Assignment and Acceptance Assignment relating to such assignment.

(c) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Funding Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that Committed Lender may sell a participation in its rights and obligations hereunder only with the written consent of the Conduit Lender, and provided, further that: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower, Funding 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 11.05(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 the second proviso of Section 11.01 that directly affects such Participant. Borrower 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 (a) of this

Section 11.10 (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 (a) of this Section 11.10; provided that such Participant: (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.06 and 11.10 as if it were an assignee under clause (a) of this Section 11.10; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01 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 Borrower’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 11.02 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Funding Agent (in its capacity as Funding Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

(e) Certain Conduit Lender Provisions. Without limiting the foregoing, Conduit Lender may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to the Borrower and the Funding Agent, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation and its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee. Upon and to the extent of such assignment by Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall become a Conduit Lender in the assigning Conduit Lender’s Lender Group, with the Committed Lender and the Funding Agent in such Lender Group being the Committed Lender and Funding Agent, respectively, for such Conduit Assignee, (ii) such Conduit Assignee (as Conduit Lender) shall be the owner of the assigned portion of the Principal Obligation, (iii) the related administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Administrator for such Conduit Assignee, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to an Administrator hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iv) such Conduit Assignee, any Related Commercial Paper Issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper, and their respective Liquidity Provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the Conduit Lender and its Liquidity Provider(s) herein and in the other

Loan Documents (including any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee or related parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against such Conduit Assignee, and the right to assign to another Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (v) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of the Conduit Lender’s obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Loan Document, and the Conduit Lender shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (vi) all distributions in respect of the Principal Obligation assigned shall be made to the Funding Agent, on behalf of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vii) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Principal Obligation funded with Commercial Paper issued by the Conduit Lender from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Rate” applicable to the Conduit Lender on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Assignee rather than the original Conduit Lender, (viii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (ix) if requested by the Funding Agent or Administrator with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as Funding Agent or Administrator may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No such assignment shall be made to a Conduit Assignee unless the Commercial Paper of such Conduit Assignee shall have short-term credit ratings of “A-1” and “P-1” without the consent of the Borrower. No assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Committed Lenders in such Conduit Lender’s Lender Group under Section 2.02 to fund any Loan not funded by the Conduit Lender or such Conduit Assignee or to acquire from the Conduit Lender or such Conduit Assignee all or any portion of its interest in the Principal Obligation pursuant this Section 11.10(e).

(f) Certain Committed Lender Provisions. In the event that Conduit Lender makes an assignment to a Conduit Assignee in accordance with clause (e) above, the Committed Lender in the Conduit Lender’s Lender Group: (i) if requested by the related Administrator, shall terminate their participation in the applicable Liquidity Agreement to the extent of such assignment and shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by such Administrator) the liquidity agreement related to such Conduit Assignee, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement entered into by Committed Lender with respect to the applicable Liquidity Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the related Administrator), (ii) if requested by Conduit Lender, shall enter into such agreements as requested by Conduit Lender pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to such Conduit Assignee on the same terms and conditions as is provided for in this Credit Agreement in respect of Conduit Lender (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and Conduit Lender), and (iii) shall take such actions as the related Administrator shall reasonably request in connection therewith.

11.11 Assignment to Committed Lenders.

(a) Assignment Amounts. At any time on or prior to the Stated Maturity Date, if the Administrator on behalf of the Conduit Lender so elects, by written notice to the Funding Agent and the Borrower, Conduit Lender hereby assigns effective on the Assignment Date referred to below all or such portions as may be elected by Conduit Lender of its interest in the Principal Obligation at such time to Committed Lender pursuant to this Section 11.11; provided,

however, that unless such assignment is an assignment of all Conduit Lender’s interest in the Principal Obligation in whole on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date, no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 11.11 if an Event of Default shall then exist; and provided, further, that no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 11.11 at a time when Conduit Lender is subject to any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Laws. No further documentation or action on the part of Conduit Lender, the Borrower, or the Committed Lenders shall be required to exercise the rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, other than the giving of the notice by the related Administrator on behalf of Conduit Lender referred to in such sentence and the delivery by Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent of a copy of such notice to Committed Lender in the Lender Group (the date of the receipt by the Funding Agent of any such notice being the “Assignment Date”). Committed Lender hereby agrees, unconditionally and irrevocably and under all circumstances, without set-off, counterclaim or defense of any kind, to pay the full amount of its Assignment Amount on such Assignment Date to Conduit Lender in immediately available funds in Dollars based on the assigning Conduit Lender’s interest in the Principal Obligation, to an account designated by Conduit Lender’s Funding Agent. Upon payment of its Assignment Amount, Committed Lender shall acquire an interest in the Principal Obligation equal to its Committed Lender Percentage thereof. Upon any assignment in whole by a Conduit Lender to its Committed Lenders on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date as contemplated hereunder, Conduit Lender shall cease to make any additional Loans hereunder. At all times prior to its Conduit Investment Termination Date, nothing herein shall prevent Conduit Lender from making a subsequent Loan hereunder, in its sole discretion, following any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.11 or from making more than one assignment pursuant to this Section 11.11.

(b) Additional Assignment Amounts. The Borrower may pay to Funding Agent in Dollars, for the benefit of Conduit Lender, in connection with any assignment by Conduit Lender to its Committed Lenders pursuant to this Section 11.11, an aggregate amount equal to all interest to accrue through the end of the current Interest Period to the extent attributable to the portion of the Loans so assigned to the Committed Lender (as determined immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment), plus all Obligations then due, other than the Loans and other than any interest described above, attributable to such portion of the Loans so assigned. If the Borrower does not make payment of such amounts at or prior to the time of assignment by Conduit Lender to Committed Lenders, such amount shall be paid by Committed Lender to the Conduit Lender as additional consideration for the interests assigned to the Committed Lender and, except to the extent the Borrower makes payment of such amounts to the Committed Lender when due, the amount of the “Loans” hereunder held by Committed Lender shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional amount so paid by Committed Lender.

(c) Administration of Agreement after Assignment from Conduit Lender to Committed Lenders following the Conduit Investment Termination Date. After any assignment in whole by Conduit Lender to Committed Lenders pursuant to this Section 11.11 at any time on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date (and the payment of all amounts owing to Conduit Lender in connection therewith), all rights of the related Administrator set forth herein shall be given to the Funding Agent on behalf of Committed Lenders instead of such Administrator.

(d) Payments to Funding Agent. After any assignment in whole by Conduit Lender to Committed Lenders pursuant to this Section 11.11 at any time on or after its Conduit Investment Termination Date, all payments to be made hereunder by Borrower to the Funding Agent for the benefit of Conduit Lender shall be made to the account specified by the applicable Funding Agent in writing to the Funding Agent and the Borrower.

(e) Recovery of Loans. In the event that the aggregate of the Assignment Amounts paid by the Committed Lender with respect to any Lender Group pursuant to this Section 11.11 on any Assignment Date occurring on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date for the Conduit Lender is less than the Loans of Conduit Lender on such Assignment Date, then to the extent that payments or deposits thereafter received and applied by the Funding Agent with respect to the Lender Group under Section 3.03 in respect of Loans exceed the aggregate of the unrecovered Assignment Amounts and Loans funded by Committed Lenders, such excess shall be remitted by the Funding Agent to such Conduit Lender.

11.12 Replacement of Funding Party or Lender Group. If Borrower is entitled to replace a Funding Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.06 (in any such case, an “Affected Funding Party”), then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort:

(a) by notice to the applicable Funding Party, and with the consent of the Funding Agent and such Funding Party’s Funding Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elect to replace such Affected Funding Party as a Funding Party to this Credit Agreement with an Eligible Assignee procured by Borrower, provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided, further that, concurrently with such replacement such Eligible Assignee shall agree to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Funding Party pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to become a Funding Party for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Funding Party to be terminated as of such date. Any such Affected Funding Party shall assign its rights and interests hereunder (other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.04), such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of Section 11.10. In the event that such an assignment occurs, the Eligible Assignee: (i) if requested by the applicable Funding Agent, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by the Funding Agent) a Liquidity Agreement related to the Conduit Lender, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement by the Committed Lender with respect to the applicable Liquidity Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Funding Agent); and (ii) shall take such actions as the Agents shall reasonably request in connection therewith. A Funding Party shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Funding Party or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply; and

(b) by notice to each member of the applicable Funding Party’s Lender Group, and with the consent of the Funding Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elect to replace the Affected Funding Party’s Lender Group with a Lender Group procured by Borrower, provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided, further that, concurrently with such replacement the Lenders in such replacement Lender Group shall agree to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to each Lender in the Affected Funding Party’s Lender Group pursuant to one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements and to become a Funding Party for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of each Lender in the Affected Funding Party’s Lender Group to be terminated as of such date. Each Lender in the Affected Funding Party’s Lender Group shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of Section 11.10.

11.13 Maximum Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, Funding Party shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount

in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that Funding Party ever receive, collect or apply as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Funding Party shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, each applicable Funding Party shall refund to the Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Funding Parties shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then the Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.

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

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

11.16 Limited Liability of Investors. None of the Investors shall have any personal, partnership, corporate or trust liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section 11.16 or in any of the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed to limit, restrict, or impede the obligations, the liabilities, and indebtedness of the Borrower, or of any Investor to make its Capital Contributions to the Fund in accordance with the terms of its Operating Agreement and its Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.16, the payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrower and its properties and assets.

11.17 Confidentiality. Funding Agent, each Funding Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and that the Funding Agent, Funding Agent or Lender disclosing such information shall be liable for any disclosure in violation hereof by any of its own partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any

other party to this Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to: (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement; or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section; (y) becomes available to Funding Agent, any Funding Agent, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower; or (z) was independently developed by any Agent or any Lender or (i) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any rating agency, Commercial Paper dealer first loss provider, service provider, provider of credit enhancement or liquidity to Conduit Lender or any Person providing financing to, or holding equity interest in, Conduit Lender, any to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants or attorneys of any of the foregoing. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of Borrower relating to Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or its or their business, other than any such information that is available to Funding Agent, any Funding Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

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

11.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit Agreement provided by Funding Agent, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Funding Agent, on the other hand; (ii) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) Funding Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; and (ii) Funding Agent has no obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) Funding Agent and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its Affiliates, and Funding Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have

against Funding Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

11.20 No Bankruptcy Petition Against Conduit Lender. Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Commercial Paper or other rated indebtedness of Conduit Lender, it will not institute against, or encourage, cooperate with or join any other Person in instituting against, Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the law of the United States or any state of the United States. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement.

11.21 No Recourse Against Conduit Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, the obligations of Conduit Lender under this Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are solely the corporate obligations of Conduit Lender and shall be payable solely to the extent of funds received by Conduit Lender from the Borrower in accordance herewith or from any party to any Loan Document in accordance with the terms thereof in excess of funds necessary to pay Conduit Lender’s matured and maturing Commercial Paper or other rated indebtedness and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against Conduit Lender but shall continue to accrue. The payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against Conduit Lender shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all of Conduit Lender’s Commercial Paper and other rated indebtedness. No recourse under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement of Conduit Lender as contained in this Credit Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any manager or administrator of such Person or any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer, employee or director of such Person or of any such manager or administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement.

11.22 Excess Funds. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, Conduit Lender shall not, nor shall Conduit Lender be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Credit Agreement unless (i) Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay its commercial paper notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) Conduit Lender could issue commercial paper notes to refinance all of its outstanding commercial paper notes (assuming such outstanding commercial paper notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing its securitization program or (y) all of Conduit Lender’s commercial paper notes are paid in full. Any amount which Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of Conduit Lender for any such insufficiency unless and until Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement.

11.23 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Funding Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic

Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

11.24 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Funding Agent o, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Credit Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Funding Agent and when Funding Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by fax or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.

11.25 Entire Agreement. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

(g) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Grantor and the performance by Grantor of its obligations hereunder, will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation or any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, applicable to Grantor or any of its property, or the organizational or governing documents of Grantor or any agreement or instrument to which Grantor is party or by which it or its property is bound.

(c) Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Collateral and the Lien and security interest of Secured Party therein against the claim of any person claiming against or through Grantor and shall maintain and preserve such perfected security interest for so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect.

(d) Grantor will not sell, offer to sell, dispose of, convey, assign or otherwise transfer, grant any option with respect to, restrict, or grant, create, permit or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, option, right of first offer, encumbrance or other restriction or limitation of any nature whatsoever on, any of the Collateral or any interest therein without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

Exhibit E – Page 6

10. REASONABLE CARE. Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to any claims, the nature or sufficiency of any payment or performance by any party under or pursuant to any agreement relating to the Collateral or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Nothing set forth in this Agreement, nor the exercise by Secured Party of any of the rights and remedies hereunder, shall relieve Grantor from the performance of any obligation on Grantor’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral.

11.	REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) Secured Party, without any other notice to or demand upon Grantor, may assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to Grantor at its notice address as provided in Section 15 hereof ten (10) days prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner shall be sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, Secured Party may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser(s) as Secured Party in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, Secured Party may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. Grantor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, Secured Party or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither Secured Party nor any custodian shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Secured Party shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(b) All rights of Grantor to (i) exercise the voting and other consensual rights it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a) and (ii) receive the dividends and other distributions which it would otherwise be entitled to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(b), shall immediately cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in

Exhibit E – Page 7

Secured Party, which shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and receive and hold such dividends and other distributions as Collateral.

(c) Any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral and all cash Proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part by Secured Party to the payment of expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection with the foregoing or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds shall be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as Secured Party shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash Proceeds held by Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash Proceeds of any sale or other realization of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

(d) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all or any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, Grantor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party, Grantor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

12. NO WAIVER AND CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 14), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

13. SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE. Grantor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All rights of Secured Party and Liens and security interests hereunder, and all Secured Obligations of Grantor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation or any related agreement or instrument;

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Note, this Agreement or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured Obligations;

(e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;

Exhibit E – Page 8

(f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, Grantor against Secured Party; or

(g) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Secured Party that might vary the risk of Grantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Grantor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.

14. AMENDMENTS. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by Grantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party and Grantor, and then such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

15. ADDRESSES FOR NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Credit Agreement and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses as set forth in the Credit Agreement or as to either party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.

16. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; FURTHER ACTIONS. This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien and security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) subject to Section 17, remain in full force and effect until payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, (b) be binding upon Grantor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns; provided that Grantor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Secured Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any assignee of Secured Party’s interest in any agreement or document which includes all or any of the Secured Obligations shall, upon assignment in accordance with Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement, become vested with all the benefits granted to Secured Party herein with respect to such Secured Obligations.

17. TERMINATION; RELEASE. On the date on which all Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full (other than contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement obligations), Secured Party will, at the request and sole expense of Grantor, (a) duly assign, transfer and deliver to or at the direction of Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may then remain in the possession of Secured Party, together with any monies at the time held by Secured Party hereunder, and (b) execute and deliver to Grantor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement.

18. GOVERNING LAW.

B. Credit Agreement. Fund acknowledges that in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2014 (as amended, modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Company and Natixis, New York Branch, as funding agent (“Funding Agent”) and committed lender, Company has pledged all of its assets, including all Loan Sale Agreements and all other agreements Company may enter from time to time (including this Agreement).

C. Undertaking.

D. Defined Terms. Terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Operating Agreement or, if not defined therein, the Credit Agreement.

Agreements and Undertakings

Agreements and Undertakings by Fund. In connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the Loan Sale Agreements, Fund covenants and agrees that on or before November 10, 2014, it shall call sufficient capital under the Operating Agreement to punctually meet any LSA Obligations under the Loan Sale Agreement in full as and when they become due. As of the date hereof, the aggregate Unfunded Commitment of Members under the Operating Agreement is approximately $317,985,000.

Exhibit F - Page 1

alleged breach of this Section 1 by Fund would cause irreparable harm to Company. Accordingly, Fund acknowledges and agrees that upon any breach of this Section 1 by Fund, Company shall be entitled to equitable relief, in addition to any other relief available, including without limitation the remedies of specific performance, temporary or permanent injunction and/or declaratory judgment, without any requirement to prove actual damages or post a bond, and Fund further agrees to waive any and all defenses or claims that Company is not entitled to such equitable relief, or that equitable relief is not otherwise available to Company due to the alleged sufficiency or availability of remedies at law, including monetary damages, or that Company is seeking such equitable remedies in bad faith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure to comply with this Section 1 shall be an immediate default and not subject to any grace period.
