Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give the applicable Borrower prompt notice of any change in the rate of interest for any Loans after such change becomes effective; provided, however, that any failure by Administrative Agent to provide such Borrower with such notice shall not affect Administrative Agent’s right to make changes in the rate of interest for any Loans. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of each Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days (for Base Rate Loans, 365/366 days).

(c)            Default Rate. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, all Obligations shall bear interest before and after judgment at the Default Rate; provided that, with respect to an Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 10.1(i), the Default Rate shall accrue regardless of notice from the Administrative Agent that the Default Rate is applicable.

-49-

(d)            Determination of Rate. Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate applicable to each Borrowing hereunder, and shall, upon request, give notice to the applicable Borrower and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest or demonstrable error.

2.5            Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the applicable Borrower solely for (a) purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of such Borrower; (b) bridging Capital Calls of the Investors in such Borrower; and (c) other general corporate purposes of such Borrower. Neither the Lenders nor Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, and neither the Lenders nor Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans are for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Borrower. Nothing, including any funding of a Loan or the acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by the Lenders or Administrative Agent as to whether any Asset owned by such Borrower is permitted by the Borrowers’ Constituent Documents.

2.6            Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Structuring Agent, for its own account, a facility fee on the Closing Date, in an amount set forth in the Fee Letter (the “Facility Fee”). Such fees shall be fully earned upon becoming due and be non-refundable when paid.

2.7            Unused Commitment Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an Unused Commitment Fee, payable quarterly (on the first day of each quarter), in arrears, on a calendar year basis, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Maturity Date. Borrowers shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Commitment Fee previously earned by the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.7 notwithstanding any termination of this Credit Agreement or the suspension or termination of the Commitments. The Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Unused Commitment Fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

2.8            Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrowers shall have an option to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect for two (2) additional terms of 364 days each, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a)            each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent consent to such extension in their sole discretion;

(b)            as of the effective date of such extension, the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date); provided that if a representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation or warranty, the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be disregarded for the purposes of this condition;

-50-

(c)            the Borrowers shall have paid an extension fee, in an amount to be agreed to by the Lenders and the Borrowers at the time of such extension, to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, payable to each such Lender ratably based on its share of the Commitments subject to extension;

(d)            no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (e) or on the initial Stated Maturity Date;

(e)            the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Certificate of Beneficial Ownership, as applicable, if so requested by Administrative Agent prior to the effectiveness of any extension to the Maturity Date; and

(f)            the Borrowers shall have delivered an Extension Request with respect to the Stated Maturity Date to Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect, or such shorter time as agreed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (which shall be promptly forwarded by Administrative Agent to each Lender).

2.9            Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)            Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for purposes of approving or disapproving any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as specified in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii)            Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; fifth, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made when the conditions specified in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

-51-

(iii)            Certain Fees.

(A)            Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it.

(B)            With respect to any Facility Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(C)            The Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive an Unused Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)             Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions specified therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 3.              PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

3.1            Payment of Obligations. The Principal Obligations, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other outstanding Obligations, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

-52-

3.2            Payment of Interest.

(a)            Interest. Interest on each Borrowing shall commence to accrue as of the date of the disbursement of such Borrowing by Administrative Agent. When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from a Borrower in accordance with the related Request for Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank. With regard to the repayment of Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in immediately available funds by Administrative Agent.

(b)            Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations shall be due and payable by the Borrowers in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at any time upon demand by Administrative Agent; provided that, solely with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), except with respect to an Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 10.1(i), during the Standstill Period, Administrative Agent shall not exercise the remedies pursuant to clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix) of the first sentence of Section 10.2(b) on account of the applicable Borrower’s failure to pay such interest when due. 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.

3.3            Payments on the Obligations.

(a)            Borrower Payments. (i) Except with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations by any Borrower to or for the account of the Lenders shall be made without condition or deduction or counterclaim, set-off, defense or recoupment for receipt before 12 noon (Eastern time) and (ii) with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds to Administrative Agent at the account Administrative Agent designates in writing to the applicable Borrowers, in all cases for the ratable benefit of each Lender. Funds received after 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be treated for all purposes as having been received on the next Business Day.

(b)            Application of Payments.

(i)            So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made by Borrowers on the Obligations shall be applied as directed by Administrative Agent (it being understood that all payments to the Lenders will be distributed ratably amongst the Lenders), provided that in the event payments are received by Administrative Agent by (A) except with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time and (B) with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent, and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders interest at the Overnight Bank Funding Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Credit Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.

-53-

(ii)            At all times when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made on the Obligations shall be credited in the following manner (in all applicable cases for the ratable benefit of each Lender): (i) first, against all costs, expenses (excluding expenses constituting indemnification obligations) and other fees (including attorneys’ fees) arising under the terms hereof; (ii) second, against accrued and unpaid interest; (iii) third, against all Principal Obligations due and owing; and (iv) fourth, against all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.

(c)            Disbursement of Funds. If, at any time, Administrative Agent shall not have received on the date due any payment of interest upon the Obligations or any fee payable described under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may (i) direct the disbursement of funds from the Collateral Accounts of the applicable Borrower to the Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent available therein for payment of any such amount or (ii) require Borrowers to request a Borrowing of such amount (which shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of Section 2.2 without any further actions being required by such Borrowers), in which case the Loans representing such amount shall be credited directly to the account of Administrative Agent rather than to any account of such Borrowers in satisfaction of such outstanding interest and/or fees; provided that no Borrowing shall be made pursuant to this clause (ii) hereof if after giving effect thereto (A) the Principal Obligations would exceed the Available Commitment or (B) the Principal Obligations of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

3.4            Prepayments.

(a)            Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.2 and Section 11.2). Whenever a Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (i) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate Option; (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Loans that bear interest at the Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR Option; (iii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies that bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate Option; or (iv) at least three (3)Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of the Loans or denominated in Alternative Currencies that bear interest at the Daily Simple RFR Option, in each case of the foregoing option in this Section 3.4(a), setting forth the following information:

(i)             the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

(ii)             a statement indicating the application of the prepayment among Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, the Term SOFR Rate Option applies, the Daily Simple SOFR Option applies, the Daily Simple RFR Option applies and the Eurocurrency Rate Option applies; and

-54-

(iii)            the Currency of such Loan and total principal amount of such prepayment.

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount (except in the case of Base Rate Loans), shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided in Section 4.7(c), if a Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing which such Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to other Loans denominated in Dollars, then to Daily Simple RFR Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, then to Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 11.3.

(b)            Mandatory Prepayment.

(i)            If on any day the Principal Obligations exceed the Available Commitment for any reason (including, in each case without limitation, as a result of a Capital Call, an Exclusion Event, an Investor becoming a Defaulting Investor, a change in the Fair Market Value of any Eligible Asset or any failure of an Asset to constitute an Eligible Asset) (any such excess, an “Overadvance”), then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall (i) if the amount of such Overadvance is greater than or equal to $500,000, either pay the full amount of such Overadvance to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds, without demand, or otherwise eliminate such Overadvance (by such other means that shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in each case on or before the Required Payment Time after the occurrence of such Overadvance, and (ii) if the amount of such Overadvance is less than $500,000, either pay the full amount of such Overadvance to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds, upon demand by Administrative Agent, or otherwise eliminate such Overadvance (by such other means that shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in each case on or before the Required Payment Time after such demand. If the applicable Borrower or Borrowers fail to pay or eliminate any Overadvance required to be paid under, and within the time period set forth in, this Section 3.4(b), then such Borrower or Borrowers hereby agree that Administrative Agent may withdraw from the applicable Capital Account and/or the Asset Account, any Capital Contributions or other monies or sums deposited therein and apply the same to the Principal Obligations until such time as such Overadvance has been satisfied in full.

(ii)            If, on any day, the Principal Obligations outstanding on such day exceed the amount necessary for the Borrowers to be in compliance with Section 9.27, then the Borrowers shall pay without further demand such excess to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds by the Required Payment Time.

-55-

3.5            Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Request for Borrowing is outstanding, Borrowers may (a) terminate the Commitments or (b) reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period of time agreed in writing by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior to the effective date thereof (which date shall be specified in such notice and be a Business Day): (i) in the case of complete termination of the Commitments, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations; or (ii) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Principal Obligations exceed the reduced Available Commitment resulting from such reduction, including payment of all interest accrued thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or multiples thereof; and (y) in no event shall a reduction reduce the Maximum Commitment to below $10,000,000 (except for a termination of all Commitments).

3.6            Increase in the Maximum Commitment. Provided there exists no Event of Default or, to the knowledge of any Borrower or Administrative Agent, Potential Default on the effective date of the increase, and subject to compliance with the terms below, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrowers may request the Lenders to increase the Maximum Commitment. The Maximum Commitment shall not exceed $300,000,000. Such increase shall be effective upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (i) the existing Lenders shall have agreed in their sole discretion to increase their Commitments and/or additional Persons shall have agreed to join the Credit Facility as Lenders such that the Commitments of all Lenders equal the increased Maximum Commitment; (ii) on or prior to the proposed date of such increase, Borrowers shall have paid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender that increases its Commitment or provides a new Commitment, the Facility Increase Fee; (iii) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Certificate of Beneficial Ownership, as applicable, if so requested by Administrative Agent prior to the effectiveness of any extension to the Maturity Date; and (iv) the Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed facility increase effective date a Facility Increase Request and resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, such increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Commitments and the Loans. No Lender will be required to commit, nor shall any Lender have any preemptive right, to provide any portion of such increase. On any date the Maximum Commitment is increased in accordance herewith, Borrowers and the Lenders agree to execute such documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to give effect to such increase.

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

(a)            Combined Liability. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including the Loans and the other Obligations of all Borrowers, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans and the other Obligations of the Borrowers against any one or more of such Borrowers; and

-56-

(b)            Separate Exercise of Remedies. Administrative Agent may exercise remedies against each Borrower and its property separately, whether or not Administrative Agent exercises remedies against any other Borrower or its property. Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Borrower’s obligations without enforcing any other Borrower’s obligations and vice versa. Any failure or inability of Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Borrower’s obligations shall not in any way limit Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of the other Borrowers. If Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more Loan Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Loans only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Lenders from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, Administrative Agent’s credit bid at a foreclosure sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Loans secured by such Loan Documents under the applicable state law. Each Borrower expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; and (ii) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

Section 4.              CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1            Taxes.

(a)            Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b)            Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(d)            Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.1, such Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

-57-

(e)            Indemnification by Borrowers. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, on or before the Required Payment Time (but not sooner than 10 Business 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 4.1) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, in each case with respect to such Borrower, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest or demonstrable error.

(f)            Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.9 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest or demonstrable error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 4.1(f).

(g)            Status of Lenders.

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

-58-

(ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

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

(i)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

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

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

-59-

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

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

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

(h)            Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.1(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.1(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

-60-

(i)            Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of, and any assignment of rights by, Administrative Agent or any Lender.

4.2            Increased Cost and Capital Adequacy.

(a)            [Reserved].

(b)            Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender, Borrowers shall, on or before the Required Payment Time (but not sooner than 10 Business Days) after such request, pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered.

(c)            Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect).

4.3            Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender, each Borrower shall, on or before the Required Payment Time after such demand, pay Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amounts as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender harmless from, any loss, cost or expense (other than loss of margin or spread) incurred by such Lender in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties as a result of (a) any failure or refusal of such Borrower (for any reasons whatsoever) to accept a Loan after such Borrower shall have requested such Loan, (b) any prepayment of a Loan by such Borrower that is otherwise not made in compliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, or (c) the failure such Borrower to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice thereof.

-61-

4.4            [Reserved].

4.5            Mitigation. Each Lender and Administrative Agent agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to Borrowers’ obligation to make a payment under this Section 4 with respect to such Lender or Administrative Agent, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any such event, including by completing and delivering or filing any tax related forms that would reduce or eliminate any amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by Borrowers hereunder and changing the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, the making of such a change (i) would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and (ii) would not subject Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be otherwise materially disadvantageous to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be.

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

4.7            Rate Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)            Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time:

(i)            on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period, Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) the Eurocurrency Rate, Term SOFR Rate, or Daily Simple RFR applicable to a Loan (in each case whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, including because such rate for the corresponding applicable Currency is not available or published on a current basis or (y) a fundamental adverse change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to such Currency or with respect to such rate (including adverse changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), or

(ii)            Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Term SOFR Rate or Eurocurrency Rate, or Daily Simple RFR with respect to any Currency, cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or Daily Simple RFR for such Currency cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, or

-62-

(iii)            on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period, the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term Rate Loan (in each case whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that (A) deposits in the applicable Currency are not available to any Lender in connection with such Term Rate Loan, or are not being offered to banks in the market for the applicable Currency, amount, and Interest Period of such Term Rate Loan, or (B) the Term Rate Loan Option for any requested Currency or Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term Rate Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Loan and, in each case, the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to Administrative Agent,

then Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.7(c).

(b)            Illegality. If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Official Body shall have asserted, that the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which any Interest Rate Option applies, or the determination or charging of interest rates based upon any Interest Rate Option has been made impracticable or unlawful, by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or any Official Body has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase, sell, or take deposits of any Currency in the applicable interbank market for the applicable Currency, then Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.7(c).

(c)            Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.7(a) above, Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.7(b) above, such Lender shall promptly so notify Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrowers.

(i)            Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrowers to select, convert to or renew a Loan under the affected Interest Rate Option in each such Currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Rate Option, or the applicable Interest Periods) until Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrowers, or such Lender shall have later notified Administrative Agent, of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.

(ii)            If at any time Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.7(a), (a) if the Borrowers have previously notified Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of an affected Interest Rate Option, and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall (i) with regard to any such pending request for Loans denominated in Dollars, be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) with regard to any such pending request for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, be deemed ineffective (in each case to the extent of the affected Interest Rate Option, or the applicable Interest Periods), (b) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in Dollars shall be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (c) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall, at the Borrowers’ election, either be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however that absent notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency).

-63-

(iii)            If any Lender notifies Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.7(b), the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrowers’ indemnification obligations under Section 11.3, as to any Loan of the Lender to which an affected Interest Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan (which shall be, with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 3.4(a). Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan (which shall be, with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) upon such specified date.

(d)            Benchmark Replacement Setting.

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

-64-

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

(iii)            Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (E) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.7(d), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.7(d).

(iv)            Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that such representativeness will not be restored, then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark, then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

-65-

(v)            Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a Loan bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or RFR, conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest based on such Interest Rate Option to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan or conversion to Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate Option. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(vi)            Announcements Related to LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR (the “IBA”) and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, the regulatory supervisor for the IBA, announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings (collectively, the “Cessation Announcements”). The parties hereto acknowledge that, as a result of the Cessation Announcements, a Benchmark Transition Event occurred on March 5, 2021 with respect to USD LIBOR under clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event” below; provided, however, no related Benchmark Replacement Date occurred as of such date.

(vii)            Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 4.7(d):

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, as applicable, (x) if the then-current Benchmark for such Currency is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark for such Currency, as applicable, pursuant to this Credit Agreement as of such date.

“Benchmark” means, initially, with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions, or other amounts denominated in, or calculated with respect to (a) Dollars, Term SOFR Rate, (b) Sterling or Euros, the Daily Simple RFR, or (c) Canadian Dollars, the Eurocurrency Rate applicable for such Currency; provided that if a Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section 4.7. Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below (but in each case only if such alternative rate is also being applied to at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the quarterly pay, floating interest rate obligations that constitute Assets or, if no such alternative rate applies to at least 50% of such Assets, then the most prevalently used alternative rate that is being applied to the quarterly pay, floating interest rate obligations that constitute Assets) that can be determined by Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(a)            Where the Benchmark is the Eurocurrency Rate, the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by Administrative Agent and the Borrowers as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Available Tenor giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

-66-

(b)            Where the Benchmark is the Term SOFR Rate: the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

(c)            the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

provided that, in the case of clause (b) or clause (c) above, such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided; further that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to (a), (b) or (c) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided further that any such Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by Administrative Agent and the Borrowers for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time; provided that, if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, more than one tenor of such Benchmark is available as of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement will not be a term rate, the Available Tenor of such Benchmark for purposes of this definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall be deemed to be the Available Tenor that has approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustments) as the payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement.

-67-

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period, if applicable, and no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(2)            in the case of clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by Administrative Agent, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or

(3)            in the case of clause (d) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first Business Day following the fifth (5^th) consecutive Business Day that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark are not published;

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1), (2) or (3) above with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to any then-current Benchmark for any Currency:

(1)            a public statement or publication of information is provided to Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark for such Currency (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark for such Currency (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of any such statement, publication, or notice, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark for such Currency (or such component thereof); or

(2)            a public statement or publication of information is provided to Administrative Agent by an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or the administrator of such Benchmark for such Currency, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark for such Currency (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark for such Currency (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark for such Currency (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark for such Currency (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark for such Currency (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark for such Currency (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark for such Currency (or such component thereof); or

-68-

(3)            a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that such representativeness will not be restored.

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 4.7 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 4.7.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to any Available Tenor means, as applicable, either a tenor (including overnight) or an interest payment period having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as such Available Tenor.

In addition, each Borrower shall deposit into the applicable Capital Account any payments that such Borrower receives directly from the applicable Investors as Capital Contributions.

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

(f)            No Impairment of Rights.

5.4           Subordination.

(a)            Subordination of Claims.

All Other Claims, together with all Liens on assets securing the payment of the Other Claims shall at all times during the continuance of an Event of Default or during the existence of a mandatory prepayment having been triggered pursuant to Section 3.4(b) that is unpaid be subordinated to and inferior in right and in payment to the Obligations and all Liens on assets securing all or any portion of the Obligations of any Borrower, and each Borrower, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator each agrees to take such actions as are necessary to provide for such subordination between it and any other Borrower, the Investment Adviser and/or the Administrator. Each of the Investment Adviser and the Administrator acknowledges and agrees that at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at a time when Principal Obligations are outstanding or a mandatory prepayment has been triggered pursuant to Section 3.4(b) that is unpaid, the payment of any Other Claims due and owing to it from any Borrower shall be subordinated to and inferior in right and payment to the Obligations in all respects; provided that, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(i) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall be permitted to make payments to the Investment Advisor and the Administrator for management fees that represent fees for regular, ordinary course asset management activities and are not in the nature of performance fees, incentive fees or fees representing or constituting any carried interest in an aggregate amount not exceeding $5,000,000 during any calendar year.

7.1           Organization and Good Standing. Each ~~Borrower~~Credit Party is duly incorporated, organized, registered, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, formation, registration or incorporation, as applicable, has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or the property owned or leased requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified to do business would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.2           Authorization and Power. Each ~~Borrower~~Credit Party has the partnership, exempted limited partnership, limited liability company or corporate power, as applicable, and requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform its respective obligations under the Loan Documents to be executed by it, its Constituent Documents, and its Subscription Agreements.

7.3           No Conflicts or Consents. None of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the consummation of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, or the compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, will contravene or conflict, in any material respect, with (a) any Applicable Law which ~~a Borrower~~the Credit Party is subject, (b) any judgment, license, order or permit applicable to the ~~Borrowers~~Credit Party, (c) the Borrowers’ Constituent Documents or any Side Letter, or (d) any material indenture, mortgage, contract, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which a ~~Borrower~~Credit Party is a party or by which a ~~Borrower~~Credit Party may be bound or to which a ~~Borrower~~Credit Party may be subject. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or Governmental Authority, Investor or third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the ~~Borrowers~~Credit Party of the Loan Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including its Constituent Documents, except, in each case, for that which has already been obtained.

-78-

7.4           Enforceable Obligations. This Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which ~~each Borrower~~any Credit Party is a party are the legal and binding obligations of such ~~Borrower~~Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

7.5           Priority of Liens; Eligibility of Assets. The Loan Documents create, as security for the Obligations, valid and enforceable, perfected first priority security interests in and Liens on all of the Collateral in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens), except as enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such security interests in and Liens on such Collateral shall be superior to and prior to the rights of all third parties in such Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), and, other than in connection with any future change in the applicable ~~Borrower’s~~Credit Party’s name, identity or structure, or its jurisdiction of organization, registration or incorporation, as the case may be, no further recordings or Filings are or will be required in connection with the creation, perfection or enforcement of such security interests and Liens, other than the filing of continuation statements in accordance with Applicable Law. Each Asset included as an Eligible Asset in any calculation of the Available Commitment or other report was, in fact, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, an Eligible Asset at such time.

7.6           Financial Condition. Commencing after the first submission of the financial statements and reports as described in Section 8.1, the ~~Borrowers~~Credit Parties have delivered to Administrative Agent the most recently available copies of such financial statements and reports, in each case which are true and correct in all material respects, and such financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of such Borrower as of the applicable date of delivery.

7.7           Full Disclosure. No written factual representation, warranty or other statement (other than general economic or industry data) of any ~~Borrower~~Credit Party in any certificate or written statement given to Administrative Agent, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Administrative Agent, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading in any material respect in light of the circumstances in which such statement was made.

7.8           No Default. No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or, to the knowledge of the applicable ~~Borrower~~Credit Party, a Potential Default.

-80-

7.18            Margin Stock. No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and no proceeds of any Loan will be used: (a) to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock; (b) to reduce or retire any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any such Margin Stock; or (c) for any other purpose which, in each of the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), would result in a violation of Regulation T, U or X. No Borrower nor any Person acting on behalf of the Borrowers has taken or will take any action which might cause any Loan Document to violate Regulation T, U or X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect. No Loan will be secured at any time by, and the Collateral in which any Borrower has granted to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, a security interest and Lien pursuant to the Loan Documents will not contain at any time any Margin Stock.

7.20            No Defenses. No ~~Borrower~~Credit Party knows of any default or circumstance which with the passage of time and/or giving of notice, could constitute a breach or default under its Constituent Documents, any Subscription Agreement or Side Letter which would constitute a defense to the obligation of any Investor to make Capital Contributions, or has any knowledge of any claims of offset or any other claims of any Investor against a ~~Borrower~~Credit Party which could diminish or adversely affect the obligations of such Investor to fund Capital Calls.

7.21            No Withdrawals or Reductions of Capital Commitments.

No ~~Borrower~~Credit Party shall relieve, excuse, delay, postpone, compromise or ▇▇▇▇▇ any Investor from the making of any Capital Contribution pursuant to a Capital Call by the applicable ~~Borrower~~Credit Party, provided that the ~~Borrowers~~Credit Parties may excuse any Investor from funding a Capital Call with respect to which an Investor Exclusion Event applies.

9.11          Capital Calls. Except as set forth in the Constituent Documents and the Side Letters, no ~~Borrower~~Credit Party shall make any contractual agreement which shall restrict, limit, penalize or control its ability to make Capital Calls or the timing thereof.

9.12          ERISA Compliance. No Borrower shall fail to satisfy an exception under the Plan Asset Regulation which failure causes the assets of such Borrower to be deemed Plan Assets. No Borrower shall take any action, or omit to take any action, which would give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 4975(c)(1)(A) - (D) of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA that would subject Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any tax, penalty, damages or any other claim or relief under the Internal Revenue Code or ERISA with respect to transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The covenant in the immediately preceding sentence is being given on the assumption that no portion of a Borrowing shall be funded with Plan Assets, unless the applicable Lender relied on an applicable prohibited transaction exemption, all of the conditions of which are satisfied. No Borrower, or any member of any Borrower’s Controlled Group shall establish, maintain or have any obligation to contribute to any Plan, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.13          Limitations on Distributions. No Borrower shall (and the General Partner shall not permit any Borrower to) make, pay or declare any Distribution (as defined below) at any time that Principal Obligations are outstanding and either (i) an Event of Default or Potential Default under Section 10.1(a) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrowers fail to be in compliance with the financial covenant contained in Section 9.25 either immediately before or after giving effect to such Distribution or (iii) a mandatory prepayment has been triggered pursuant to Section 3.4(b) that is unpaid; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, GCDLC may make Permitted RIC Distributions and GDLCF may make Distributions to GCDLC. “Distribution” means any distributions (whether or not in cash, but other than common stock) on account of any equity interest in any Borrower, including as a dividend or other distribution.

9.14          Limitation on Withdrawals from Collateral Accounts. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, no ~~Borrower~~Credit Party shall withdraw or transfer funds from the Collateral Accounts if it has actual knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at a time when Principal Obligations are outstanding or a mandatory prepayment has been triggered pursuant to Section 3.4(b) that is unpaid (other than the withdrawal of Excluded Amounts and amounts applied to the payment of Obligations). No ~~Borrower~~Credit Party shall make or cause the making of any withdrawal or transfer of funds from any Asset Account at a time when ~~such Borrower~~the Credit Party has not provided a Borrowing Base Certificate or Investment Report required by Section 8.1(n), unless such ~~Borrower~~Credit Party provides Administrative Agent with advance written notice of such withdrawal or transfer.

-92-

9.15          Transactions with Affiliates. No ~~Borrower~~Credit Party shall sell, lease or otherwise transfer any of its property or assets to, or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any property or assets from, or otherwise engage in any other transactions with, any of its Affiliates (other than GCDLC or Affiliates that are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by GCDLC (each such transaction, a “GCDLC Affiliate Transaction”)), except (a) transactions in the ordinary course of business (including the sale, contribution and repurchase of Assets to and from Special Purpose Entities) at prices and on terms and conditions not less favorable to such Borrower than could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-affiliated Person so long as after giving effect thereto, the Principal Obligations will not exceed the Available Commitment and (b) operations in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement; provided, that, in connection with each of the transactions with Affiliates (other than a GCDLC Affiliate Transaction) permitted in accordance with this Section 9.15 the Borrowers will provide the Administrative Agent with advance written notice of each such transaction.

9.16          Investment Company. Other than GCDLC, which is an “investment company” that has elected to be regulated as a “business development company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, no ~~Borrower~~Credit Party shall become required to be registered as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act.

9.17          Deemed Capital Contributions. The applicable Borrowers and such Borrower’s General Partner shall not reinvest current cash flow received by them from Assets and/or net proceeds from Asset dispositions if (a) it has actual knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) such reinvestment would reduce the Unfunded Capital Commitment of any Investor and thereby trigger a mandatory prepayment under Section 3.4(b), including by causing the Principal Obligations to exceed the Available Commitment, unless with respect to this clause (b), prior to such reinvestment, Borrowers shall first make any resulting prepayment required under Section 3.4(b).

9.18          Transactions with Lenders or Affiliates. Unless disclosed to Administrative Agent in the applicable Request for Borrowing and approved by Administrative Agent and any applicable Lender in their sole but reasonable discretion, Borrowers shall not cause or permit the funds received from any Lender hereunder to be used to acquire an asset from, or otherwise used for the benefit of, or transferred to, any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in Regulation W, 12 C.F.R. Part 223.

9.19          Investor Liens. No ~~Borrower~~Credit Party will consent to any Investor creating, permitting or suffering to exist any Lien on such Investor’s partnership interest in a Borrower.

9.20          Limitation on Assets. No Borrower will, and such Borrower’s General Partner shall not cause such Borrower to, acquire Assets other than in compliance with its Operative Documents. No Borrower will, and such Borrower’s General Partner shall not cause such Borrower to: (i) commit to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, (ii) sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or (iii) designate in writing that an Asset is no longer an Eligible Asset, unless, in each of the foregoing cases, the Principal Obligations do not exceed the Available Commitment after giving effect thereto (including application of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition) or sufficient replacement Collateral that satisfies the definition of Eligible Asset is pledged to Administrative Agent as determined in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent exercised in its commercially reasonable judgment.

-93-

9.21          Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used by any Borrower for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, including Regulation T, Regulation U and Regulation X.

9.22          Sanctions and other Anti-Terrorism Laws. No Covered Entity will (a) become a Sanctioned Person or allow its employees, officers, directors, affiliates, consultants, brokers, and agents acting on its behalf in connection with this Credit Agreement to become a Sanctioned Person; (b) directly, or indirectly through a third party, engage in any transactions or other dealings with any Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Jurisdiction, including any use of the proceeds of the Facilities to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Jurisdiction; (c) repay the Facilities with funds derived from any unlawful activity; (d) permit any Collateral to become Embargoed Property; (e) engage in any transactions or other dealings with any Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Jurisdiction prohibited by any Laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions relating to economic sanctions and any Anti-Terrorism Laws; or (f) cause any Lender, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to violate any sanctions administered by OFAC.

9.24          No Cancellations, Withdrawals or Reductions of Capital Commitments. Without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, no applicable ~~Borrower~~Credit Party shall cancel, withdraw or reduce any Investor’s Capital Commitment, or permit any Investor to cancel, withdraw or reduce such Investor’s Capital Commitment, for any reason, but not including any cancellation, withdrawal or reduction effected by means of a transfer of such Investor’s interest pursuant to Section 7(o)(iv) of the form Subscription Agreement.

9.25          Net Asset Value. The Borrowers shall not, and no General Partner shall permit, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Eligible Assets to be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the aggregate Cost Basis of such Eligible Assets.

9.26          Debt Coverage Test. The Borrowers shall not permit, at any time, their “asset coverage” ratio for purposes of applicable laws and regulations applicable to GCDLC’s status as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act, to be less than the amount required to be maintained by GCDLC under such laws and regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Closing Date, the “asset coverage” requirement for GCDLC under such laws and regulations is 2:1.

-94-

9.27          Minimum Uncalled Capital Coverage Requirement. As of any date, no Borrower shall permit the Principal Obligations outstanding to exceed the Minimum Uncalled Capital Coverage Requirement in effect on such date unless a mandatory prepayment is scheduled to be made pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(ii).

9.30          GDLC Feeder Formalities. Without limiting any, and subject to all, other covenants of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement:

Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Administrative Agent or the Lenders, neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Capital Calls or the Capital Commitment or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall it be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of Liens relating to the Collateral, subject to the Internal Revenue Code. Administrative Agent shall give ~~Borrowers~~Credit Parties notice of actions taken pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) promptly after the taking of such action, but its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action, nor shall such failure give rise to defenses to any Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

-99-

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, except with respect to an Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 10.1(i), clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (viii) of the first sentence above in this Section 10.2(b) shall not be exercised by Administrative Agent until the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date Administrative Agent has made a written request of the applicable Borrower to issue a Capital Call to the Investors in an amount sufficient to repay the Obligations or to cure the applicable Event of Default (provided that such ten (10) Business Day period shall only apply if the applicable Borrower shall have provided Administrative Agent with adequate evidence that such Borrower has issued such a Capital Call within two (2) Business Days after such request by Administrative Agent and shall not apply if an Event of Default has occurred under Section 10.1(i)) (such period, the “Standstill Period”); provided that, the Administrative Agent agrees not to initiate one or more Capital Calls during such Standstill Period but nothing in this proviso shall otherwise affect or limit the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(c)            Additional Action by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered, during the continuance of an Event of Default, on behalf of any ~~Borrower~~Credit Party (and shall upon the direction of the Required Lenders do each of the following), to endorse the name of any ~~Borrower~~Credit Party upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or items, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon a Capital Contribution to any ~~Borrower~~Credit Party coming into Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest and granted as security for the obligations of the ~~Borrowers~~Credit Parties herein and in the other Loan Documents, to (i) carry out all actions and exercise all rights referred to in Section 10.2(b) hereof (except, in the case of clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (viii) of the first sentence of Section 10.2(b), during the Standstill Period); and (ii) execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of any ~~Borrower~~Credit Party, either before or after demand of payment of the Obligations, as shall be deemed by Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, to protect the first priority Liens in the Collateral or the repayment of the Obligations, and neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney.

(d)            Actions with Respect to Eligible Assets. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent (i) may realize upon and foreclose on any Asset pledged by a Borrower as Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and (ii) to the extent an Asset is able to be sold through commercially reasonable efforts, may direct the applicable Borrower to promptly (but in any event with a trade date within fifteen (15) Business Days) sell such Asset to a purchaser on commercially reasonable terms as determined by the Borrowers, and either direct the net cash proceeds relating thereto to be paid into such Borrower’s Asset Account or within two (2) Business Days distribute such proceeds to Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall, within one (1) Business Day, instruct any applicable custodian (or any other Person providing similar services to the Borrowers in respect of the Assets) to follow Administrative Agent’s direction for purposes of giving effect to the remedies contemplated in this Section 10.2(d). The ~~Borrowers~~Credit Parties hereby agree that they shall not rescind or otherwise amend such direction notice without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent exercised in its good faith sole discretion until such time as any Event of Default is no longer continuing.

-100-

The Borrowers shall cooperate and do all things that Administrative Agent considers to be reasonably required to give full effect to this Section 10.2(d) and to enable Administrative Agent to obtain the intended benefits of the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not be liable for any loss, cost, expense or damage in connection with, or arising in connection with, or arising from, the exercise of this Section 10.2(d). For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 10.2(d) are in addition to, and in no way limit, any and all rights and remedies that Administrative Agent has pursuant to the Loan Documents, under the UCC or otherwise in equity or at law. The Borrowers are not aware of any other material authorizations, approvals or consents that are, or would be, required as of the Closing Date or as of any date following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, which if not obtained, would prohibit or otherwise materially limit the ability of Administrative Agent to exercise the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 10.2(d), other than customary loan agreement requirements for consents to assignment by the applicable obligor and administrative agent, which consents may not be unreasonably withheld (subject to customary and market restrictions on assignment to non-bank lenders).

10.3          Lender Offset. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

(d)            Miscellaneous.

The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law.

This Section 11.3(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)            Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, 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, the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

-105-

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

11.8          Entirety. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements relating to the subject matter hereof.

11.9          Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a)            Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender.

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

(i)            Minimum Amounts. The aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the assignment) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or Loans).

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

-106-

(iii)           Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except:

(A)            the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment; and

(B)            the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(iv)           Assignment Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an assignment agreement reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.

(v)            No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower, General Partner, the Investment Adviser or any Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (B) a Competitor (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Standstill Period has expired), or (C) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (C).

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

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

(viii)         Notice to Borrowers. Each assigning Lender shall notify Borrowers at least three (3) Business Days prior to any assignment of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement.

-107-

(c)            Consequences of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.9(d), from and after the effective date specified in the assignment agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned thereby, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned thereby, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article IV and Section 11.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.9(e).

(d)            Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices, a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans 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 or demonstrable error, and Borrowers, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)            Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or Borrowers or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Standstill Period has expired, the consent of the Borrowers shall be required, (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and (v) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Standstill Period has expired, such Participant is not a Competitor. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.1(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.1(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.9(b); provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.1 or 4.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such participation, 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 and would have applied in a similar manner to the participating Lender. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.3 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other Obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest or demonstrable 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, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

-108-

(f)            Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee for such Lender as a party hereto.

-109-

11.10       Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and exercise the same degree of care that it exercises to maintain the confidentiality of its own proprietary information, but in any event not less than reasonable care, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (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); provided that, in no event will the disclosure of Information to such Affiliates or Related Parties facilitate any activity that competes directly with the business activities of any Borrower or the Investment Adviser as such business activities have been disclosed to Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date; (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (in which case Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to inform the Initial Borrowers promptly thereof and provide an opportunity to contest such disclosure, in each case to the extent not prohibited by applicable law); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to inform the Initial Borrowers promptly thereof and provide an opportunity to contest such disclosure, in each case to the extent not prohibited by applicable law); (d) to any other Lender; (e) on a confidential basis, in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or 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 and with the consent of the applicable Borrower, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in (but not including a Competitor unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Standstill Period has expired), any of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) (but not including a Competitor unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Standstill Period has expired), to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Credit Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers or the Credit Facility or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Credit Facility; (h) with the consent of the Borrowers; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties, or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers if Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate (as applicable) does not know that such source is prohibited from disclosing such Information.

However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws, rules, and regulations.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to (a) the Borrowers, (b) any of the Borrowers’ respective businesses, Subsidiaries or Assets or (c) the Investors.

11.11       All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to Administrative Agent and/or Lenders pursuant to any provisions of any Loan Document shall be deemed coupled with an interest and granted by way of security for the obligations owed therein and shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligations remain unpaid, the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

Borrowers acknowledge that Lenders and their Affiliates may be providing financing or other services to other companies in respect of which Borrowers or their Affiliates may have conflicting interests. Borrowers acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates have no obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, or to furnish to Borrowers, confidential information obtained from such other companies.

-111-

11.19       Borrower Liability. Each Borrower may, acting singly, request Loans hereunder. Each Borrower hereby appoints each other Borrower as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Loans hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Loans made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Loans, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Loans. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the UCC or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other Person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including any law subrogating such Borrower to the rights of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender under this Credit Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Credit Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Credit Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 11.19 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Administrative Agent and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Section 12.            AGENCY PROVISIONS

12.1         Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

(a)            Authority. Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) (collectively with such Lender, a “Lender Party”) hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or been deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and none of the Borrowers, any Investor, or any Affiliate of the foregoing (each, a “Borrower Party”) shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except for the provisions that explicitly relate to the Borrowers in Section 12.11).

-112-

(b)            Release of Collateral. Upon (i) termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all of the Obligations, including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or (ii) approval by each of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1, the Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, to release any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Administrative Agent. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.1(b).

12.2         Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by Administrative Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, nor shall it be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 12 shall apply to any such sub-agent of Administrative Agent.

12.3         Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact (each such person, an “Agent-Related Person”), shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or be responsible in any manner to any Lender Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of Borrower Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Borrower Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower Party in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Agent-Related Person to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties to the Agent-Related Person or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties. Administrative Agent is not a trustee for the Lenders and owes no fiduciary duty to the Lenders. Each Lender Party recognizes and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Section 6.2 have been satisfied and, when Administrative Agent disburses funds to a Borrower, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by a Borrower Party.

-113-

12.4         Reliance on Communications. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, email, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons. Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been received by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all of the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).

12.5         Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice and shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders and as is permitted by the Loan Documents.

12.6         Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of Borrower Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

-114-

12.7         No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law or any Anti-Corruption Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the ~~Borrowers~~Credit Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

12.8         Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify, upon demand, each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower Party and without limiting the obligation of Borrower Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with the applicable Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or related to another Lender; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.8. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower Parties. The agreements in this Section 12.8 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, payment of all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to therein, as well as the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

-115-

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

12.10       Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be (i) a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States and (ii) a Lender, absent Borrower consent to the appointment of a non-Lender successor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

12.11       Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

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

-116-

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

12.12       Erroneous Payments.

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

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

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

-117-

(ii)           such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.12(b).

(c)           Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Credit Agreement.

(d)           In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment agreement (in such form that is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or Administrative Agent, (ii) Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Credit Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, and (iv) Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

-118-

(e)            The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers, except to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)            To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)            Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

12.13       Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

(iii)          the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
