Syndicated Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued; (D) if any portion of such Borrowing is not to be funded by a Conduit Lender through the issuance of Commercial Paper, whether such portion of such Borrowing is to be funded instead as a Base Rate Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan (it being understood that if any Conduit Lender elects to fund any portion of a Loan through its Liquidity Provider, such Conduit Lender's Funding Agent shall determine whether such portion shall bear interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Base Rate for the period prior to the time such portion of such Loan is funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper); (E) the Type of Syndicated Loans to which any existing Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans are to be converted; (F) with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto; (G) to which account the proceeds of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation should be directed; and (H) the currency of the Loans to be borrowed. If a Borrower Party fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Syndicated Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If a Borrower Party fails to specify a Type of Syndicated Loan in a Loan Notice or if a Borrower Party fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan, then the applicable Syndicated Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Syndicated Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Syndicated Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

No Syndicated Loan may be converted into or continued as a Syndicated Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Syndicated Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

At all times on and after the Conduit Investment Termination Date for a Conduit Lender, or if Conduit Lender has failed for whatever reason to fund its portion of a Borrowing in full, all Loans shall be made by the Committed Lenders of such Conduit Lender's Lender Group. At any time when a Conduit Lender has rejected a request for Syndicated Loan (it being understood that if a Conduit Lender does not fund any Syndicated Loan in relation to which all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.02 have been satisfied on the date set forth in the applicable Loan Notice, such Conduit Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the request for Syndicated Loan), such Conduit Lender's Funding Agent shall so notify the Committed Lenders in such Conduit Lender's Lender Group and such Committed Lenders shall make such Syndicated Loan in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02(c) or elsewhere in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, no Committed Lender shall be obligated to provide Administrative Agent or any Borrower Party with funds in connection with a Syndicated Loan in an amount that would result in such Committed Lender's Principal Obligation exceeding its Commitment then in effect by any such Committed Lender as a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement, and all Loans funded by a Conduit Lender shall be CP Rate Loans.

(d)Fair Market Values. The Administrative Agent individually, at the request of the Qualified Required Lenders, based upon a good faith belief that the valuations provided by the Valuation Agent are not representative of the Fair Market Value of any Eligible Portfolio Asset(s), shall have the right to request that such Eligible Portfolio Asset(s) be independently evaluated by an independent third-party pricing service or valuation firm as selected by the Qualified Required Lenders (the "Independent Valuation Provider"). There shall be no limit on the number of such subsequent appraisals requested by the Administrative Agent; provided that, the costs of any such valuation for such Eligible Portfolio Asset shall be at the expense of the Borrower Parties only once per calendar year so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If (x) the value of any Eligible Portfolio Asset determined by the Valuation Agent is less than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider pursuant to this clause (d), then the value used will be the average of the Fair Market Values provided by the Valuation Agent and the Independent Valuation Provider for purposes of this Credit Agreement and (y) if the value of any Eligible Portfolio Asset determined by the Valuation Agent is greater than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider, and the difference between such values, on a percentage basis, is:

(i)less than or equal to five percent (5%), then the value determined by the Valuation Agent shall be the Fair Market Value of such Eligible Portfolio Asset,

(ii)greater than five percent (5%) but less than or equal to twenty percent (20%), then the Fair Market Value of such Eligible Portfolio Asset shall be an amount equal to (A) the sum of (x) the value determined by the Valuation Agent and (y) the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider divided by (B) two (2),

42

(iii)greater than twenty percent (20%), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent individually, at the direction of the Qualified Required Lenders, shall retain an additional independent third-party appraiser and, upon the completion of such appraisal, the Fair Market Value of such Eligible Portfolio Asset shall be an amount equal to (A) the sum of all three (3) valuations pursuant to this clause (d), divided by (B) three (3), and

(iv)greater than twenty percent (20%) and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent are awaiting the completion of the third appraisal described in clause

(iii)above, then the Fair Market Value of such Eligible Portfolio Asset shall be an amount equal to (A) the sum of (x) the value determined by the Valuation Agent and (y) the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider divided by (B) two (2);

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, prior to the completion of any second appraisal permitted under this clause (d), the Fair Market Value of such Eligible Portfolio Asset shall be the value determined by the Valuation Agent.

(e)Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower Parties shall not have the right to have more than seven (7) Eurocurrency Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period.

(f)Continuations and Conversions of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and Automatic Continuation of CP Rate Loans. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default or Default under Section 11.01(a), 11.01(g) and 11.01(h), the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Syndicated Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or otherwise on demand. Any CP Rate Loan shall automatically continue as a CP Rate Loan without any further action of any Borrower Party.

Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Syndicated Loans shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000, and each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided, however, that a Base Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or in an aggregate amount that is required for the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under Section 2.08(c).

2.04Funding .

(a)Funding by Committed Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Except with respect to Swingline Loans, which are addressed in Section 2.07, each Conduit Lender and each Committed Lender, as the case may be, shall, in accordance with the terms hereof, on any Loan Date make the proceeds of its Applicable Percentage of each Borrowing available to

Administrative Agent in Dollars at Administrative Agent's Office for the applicable currency for the account of the appropriate Borrower Party (or, if otherwise agreed between such Lender and such Borrower Party and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, directly to such Borrower Party as specified in the Loan Notice, or, if requested by such Borrower Party in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested) no later than 2:00 p.m. in the case of any Syndicated Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the

43

Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Loan Date in Same Day Funds, and upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly deposit such proceeds in Same Day Funds in such Borrower Party's account at Administrative Agent specified in the Loan Notice, or, if requested by such Borrower Party in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested; provided, however, that (i) if, in connection with a particular Credit Extension, the 2:00 p.m. time in this sentence is not met as a result of an operational or technical error, issue or oversight, then the 2:00 p.m. time in this sentence shall instead be 3:00 p.m. and (ii) if a single entity is the only Lender, such Lender may wire such funds directly to the Borrower Party (or as directed by the Borrower Party) as specified in the Loan Notice. The failure of any Committed Lender to advance the proceeds of its respective share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Applicable Percentage of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Funding Agent prior to the proposed Loan Date that a Conduit Lender or a Committed Lender in such Lender Group will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender's share, as applicable, of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that each Committed Lender and each Conduit Lender, as the case may be, has made its Applicable Percentage of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable Loan Date and in the applicable currency, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the appropriate Borrower Party a corresponding amount.

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

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

(d)Reallocation. On the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of each Lender's share of outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit to its share of Commitments is the same as that of each other Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans among the Lenders. In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, the (i) Administrative Agent will give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable timing period in this Section 2.04 to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith; and (ii) the applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Loans being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans. In connection with such repayment made with respect to such reallocation (to the extent such

44

repayment is required), the Borrower shall pay (x) all interest due on the amount repaid to the date of repayment on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, and (y) any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.05 as a result of such reallocation occurring on any date other than the last day of an Interest Period.

2.05Interest.

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

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

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

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

(iv)each Floating LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Floating LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, all in accordance with Section 2.02if the CP Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate shall at any time be less than one percent (1%), then such rate shall be deemed to be one percent (1%) for purposes of this Credit Agreement.

(b)Default Rate.

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

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

45

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

2.06Determination of Rate and Billing. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing or any portion thereof shall become effective, without prior notice to the Borrower Parties, automatically as of the opening of business of Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Committed Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate and Floating LIBOR Rate by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The applicable CP Rate shall be determined for each Conduit Lender by the applicable Funding Agent and reported, together with a calculation of any accrued interest and fees for the applicable period (but excluding any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.11) payable to such Conduit Lender on any Interest Payment Date, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided that, if such Funding Agent fails to report the CP Rate to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by such time, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use the interest rate being paid to the non-Conduit Lenders for such applicable period for any such non-reporting Conduit Lender (provided that such amount paid to any non-reporting Conduit Lender shall be trued-up on the following applicable Interest Payment Date upon five (5) Business Days prior notice). The Administrative Agent will ▇▇▇▇ the Borrower on behalf of all Lenders with respect to interest on Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loans and CP Rate Loans.

2.07Swingline Loans.

(a)The Swingline. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein during the Swingline Availability Period, the Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Committed Lenders set forth in this Section 2.07, on any Business Day during the Availability

Period, to make loans (each such loan, a "Swingline Loan") in Dollars to the Borrower Parties at any time and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swingline Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swingline Loan or purchase or funding any risk participations therein: (i) the Principal Obligation shall not exceed the Available Commitment; (ii) no Committed Lender's Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed such Committed Lender's Commitment (minus any amounts funded in respect of a Loan hereunder (but not used to fund such Loan and accordingly not included in the Principal Obligation) by any such Committed Lender as a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement); (iii) the Principal Obligation of each Lender Group shall not exceed such Lender

Group's Lender Group Limit; and (iv) the Swingline Obligation shall not exceed the Swingline Sublimit; and provided, further, that the Borrower Parties shall not: (A) use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan; or (B) except with the approval of the Swingline Lender, request more than two (2) Swingline Loans during any given week. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower Parties may borrow under this Section 2.07, prepay under Section 3.05, and re-borrow under this Section 2.07. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest payable in arrears on the outstanding principal amount thereof, from the applicable Borrowing date thereof to the date of payment of such Swingline Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and shall only be made in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Committed Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such

Committed Lender's Applicable Percentage of the principal amount of such Swingline Loan.

46

(b)Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing under the Swingline shall be made upon the applicable Borrower Party's irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the requested Borrowing date, and shall: (i) specify the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in a principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000; (ii) specify the requested Borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day; and (iii) simultaneously request a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan (which shall automatically convert to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with a one (1) month Interest Period three (3) days thereafter but without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.03) under Section 2.02 to repay such Swingline Loan. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptlymade by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice for such Swingline Loan and an applicable Syndicated Loan (to refinance such Swingline Loan), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower Party. Promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of any Loan Notice for a Swingline Loan, Administrative Agent shall notify the Swingline Lender of the amount of the applicable Swingline Loan. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 12:00 noon on the date of the proposed Swingline Borrowing: (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.07(a); or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in SectionArticle 7 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the Borrowing date specified in such Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent's Office for the account of the applicable Borrower Party at its office in immediately available funds, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly deposit such proceeds in immediately available funds in such Borrower Party's account specified in the Loan

Notice, or, if requested by such Borrower Party in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested. Absent contrary written notice from the Swingline Lender prior to the proposed Borrowing date that the Swingline Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent the Swingline Loan, its Administrative Agent may assume that the Swingline Lender has made its share of the requested Swingline Loan available to Administrative Agent on the requested Borrowing date, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the appropriate Borrower Party a corresponding amount by crediting the account of such Borrower Party specified in such Loan Notice.

(c)Refinancing of Swingline Loans.

(i)To the extent a Loan Notice for a Syndicated Loan is not simultaneously delivered with a Loan Notice for a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower Party (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender Group make a Syndicated Loan in an amount equal to such Lender Group's Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, but without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.03 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans (to be automatically converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with a one

(1) month Interest Period three (3) days thereafter), but subject to the unutilized portion of the Available Commitment and the applicable conditions set forth in SectionArticle 7. Promptly upon receipt of such Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Funding Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date specified in such Loan Notice, specifying in such Loan Notice such Lender Group's

47

Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans, and the Swingline Lender shall furnish the applicable Borrower Party with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each (A) Conduit Lender may, and if a Conduit Lender does not, each Committed Lender in such Conduit Lender's Lender Group shall, and (B) each Committed Lender in a Lender Group without a Conduit Lender shall, upon receipt of such Loan Notice, make an amount equal to its Lender Group's Applicable Percentage (or, in the case of a Committed Lender, its Applicable Percentage) of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available (including for this purpose Cash Collateral and other credit support made available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.07(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower Party in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(ii)If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Base Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.07(c)(i), the request for Syndicated Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Lender Groups fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan with a Base Rate Loan and each Lender Group's payment to the

Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii)If any Lender Group fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender Group pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(c) by the time specified in Section 2.07(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from the Committed Lenders in such Lender Group (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation; provided, however, that if such Lender Group fails to pay its amount upon Administrative Agent's demand, then from the appropriate Borrower Party: (A) promptly on demand, to the extent such funds are available in the applicable Collateral Account for such purpose; and (B) otherwise, to the extent that it is necessary for Borrower to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Administrative Agent's demand (but, in any event, Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notices and shall make such payment promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received). A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Committed Lender (through the Administrative Agent and the applicable Funding Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)Each Committed Lender's obligation to make Syndicated Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans on behalf of its Lender Group pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Committed Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, any Borrower Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or

48

condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Committed Lender's obligation to make Syndicated Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) is subject to the applicable conditions set forth in SectionArticle 7. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower Party to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after any Lender Group has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if Administrative Agent receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender Group its share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender Group's risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(ii)If any payment received by Administrative Agent in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by Administrative Agent under any of the circumstances described in Section 13.04 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Committed Lender on behalf of its Lender Group shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lender Groups and the Committed Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligation and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

(e)Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower Party for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Lender Group funds its Syndicated Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.07 to refinance such Lender Group's share of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such share shall be solely for the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(f)Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The applicable Borrower Party shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender.

2.08Letters of Credit.

(a)Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Letter of Credit Availability Period: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Committed Lenders set forth in this Section 2.08: (1) to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of a Borrower Party, in aggregate face amounts that shall be not less than $100,000, as a Borrower Party may request (except to the extent a lesser amount is requested by such Borrower Party and agreed by Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it; and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and

(B) Committed Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower Party and any drawings thereunder; provided, however that after

49

giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit: (I) the Principal Obligation will not exceed the Available Commitment; (II) the Letter of Credit Liability will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; (III) the aggregate Principal Obligation of the Lenders that are members of any Lender Group will not exceed the Lender Group Limit of such Lender Group; and (IV) the Principal Obligation of any Committed Lender will not exceed such Lender's Commitment (minus any amounts funded in respect of a Loan hereunder (but not used to fund such Loan and accordingly not included in the Principal Obligation) by any such Committed Lender as a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement). Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower Party's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly a Borrower Party may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired (without any pending drawing) or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall have the right to approve the form of Letter of Credit requested.

(ii)The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: (A) subject to Section 2.08(b)(iii), the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer of such Letter of Credit have approved such expiry date in its sole discretion; or (B) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur after the Stated Maturity Date, without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer of such Letter of Credit (in its sole discretion), in which case any such Letter of Credit shall be Cash Collateralized on the Letter of Credit Collateralization Date; provided, however, that the expiry date of such Letter of Credit shall not occur more than twelve (12) months after the Stated Maturity Date.

(iii)The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

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

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

Dollars;

50

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

(E)any Committed Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless no Fronting Exposure exists or would exist after issuing such Letter of Credit (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the applicable Borrower Party or such Committed Lender to eliminate the

Letter of Credit Issuer's actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Liability as to which the Letter of Credit Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

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

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

(b)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of a Borrower Party delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer selected by such Borrower Party with respect to such Letter of Credit (with a copy to Administrative Agent) in the form of a Request for Credit Extension, together with a Borrowing Base Certificate, each appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower Party. Such Request for Credit Extension may be sent by fax, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the Letter of Credit Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer. Such Request for Credit Extension must be received by the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit (or such later date and time as Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion). In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Request for Credit Extension shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of

51

any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and

(G)such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, the related Request for Credit Extension shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer:

(1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the applicable Borrower Party shall furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Each Request for Credit Extension submitted by a Borrower Party shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Section 7.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit.

(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Request for Credit Extension relating to a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Request for Credit Extension from a Borrower Party and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall also promptly notify each Funding Agent (which in turn shall promptly notify each Committed Lender in its Lender Group) of the Request for Credit Extension and the terms thereof. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Committed Lender, Administrative Agent or any Borrower Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in SectionArticle 7 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower Party or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer's usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Committed Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Letter of Credit Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Committed Lender's

Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. With the approval of Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, the risk participation of each Committed Lender shall terminate upon the occurrence of the Maturity Date and the full and final payment of the Obligations (other than the Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit Liability described below), and the Issuer Documents, rather than this Credit Agreement, shall govern the rights and obligations of Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and Borrower Parties with respect to such Letter of Credit Liability, so long as Borrower has Cash Collateralized all Letter of Credit Liability then outstanding, to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer, in their respective sole discretion.

(iii)If a Borrower Party so requests in any applicable Request for Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole and reasonable discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an "Auto-Extension Letter of Credit"); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "Non-Extension Notice Date") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.

52

Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, a Borrower Party shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Collateralization Date; provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause

(ii)or (iii) of Section 2.08(a) or otherwise); or (B) it has received written notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date: (1) from Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension; or (2) from Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 and, if applicable, Section 7.03, is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension

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

(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participation.

(i)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower Party and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 12:00 noon on the date of any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an

"Honor Date"), the applicable Borrower Party shall reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If a Borrower Party fails to so reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer by such time, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Funding Agent (which shall in turn promptly notify such Committed Lender in its Lender Group) of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of such Committed Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower Party shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum amount specified in Section 2.03 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Available Commitment and the applicable conditions set forth in SectionArticle 7 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.08(c)(i) maymust be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)Each Committed Lender (including the Committed Lender acting as the Letter of Credit Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(i) make funds available (and Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at Administrative Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m.

53

on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent (so long as such Committed Lender has been provided with notice by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day in advance of its funding obligation hereunder), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(c)(iii), each Committed Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(iii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the applicable conditions set forth in SectionArticle 7, cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower Party shall be deemed to have incurred from the Letter of Credit Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Committed Lender's payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Committed Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.08.

(iv)Until each Committed Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Committed Lender's Repayment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(v)Each Committed Lender's obligation to make Base Rate Loans or L/C

Advances to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.08(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Committed Lender may have against the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Borrower Party, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(B)the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Committed Lender's obligation to make Base Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) is subject to the applicable conditions set forth in SectionArticle 7 (other than delivery of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower Party to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)If any Committed Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Committed Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08(c) by the time specified in Section 2.08(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Credit Agreement, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Committed Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Letter of Credit Issuer submitted to any Committed Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

54

(vii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 2.08(c)(vi)) and for purposes of clarity, a Conduit Lender, in lieu of its Committed Lender, may fund the applicable Base Rate Loan or L/C Advance hereunder at the CP Rate.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after the Letter of Credit Issuer has made a payment under any

Letter of Credit and has received from any Committed Lender such Committed Lender's

L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.08(c), if Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower Party or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Committed Lender its share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Committed Lender's L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(ii)If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.08(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 13.04 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its discretion), each Committed Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its share thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Committed Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

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

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

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

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

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

55

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

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

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

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

(f)Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Committed Lender and each Borrower Party agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Related Party nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Committed Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Committed Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or related Request for Credit Extension. Each Borrower Party hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude each Borrower Party's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Related Party, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 2.08(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower Party may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to such Borrower Party, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower Party which such Borrower Party proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Letter of Credit Issuer's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for

56

further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The Letter of Credit Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (known as SWIFT) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

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

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

2.09Payment of Borrower Guaranty. In consideration of Lenders' agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower hereunder, to cause Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a

Qualified Borrower, and to accept Borrower's guaranty pursuant to SectionArticle 6, Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Funding Agents and the Lenders (each a "Guaranteed Party"), to disburse directly to the applicable

Guaranteed Party, with notice to Borrower, in Same Day Funds an amount equal to the amount due and owing under SectionArticle 6, together with all interest, costs, expenses and fees due to the applicable Guaranteed Party pursuant thereto in the event (i) Administrative Agent shall have not received payment from such Qualified Borrower of its Obligations when due or (ii) any Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(a), 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) occurs with respect to such Qualified Borrower. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower of any disbursement made to the Guaranteed Parties pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement. Any such disbursement made by Administrative Agent to the Guaranteed Parties shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan, and Borrower shall be deemed to have given to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.02(a), a Loan Notice with respect thereto. Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Guaranteed Parties as to the amount due to the Guaranteed Parties under SectionArticle 6.

2.10Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes permitted under the Operating Agreement and the Constituent Documents of the Borrower Parties. None of the Lenders, Agents, or Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower Party's use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and none of the Letter of Credit Issuer, Lenders, Agents, or Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower Party's use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted above. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any continuation or conversion thereof in accordance with the terms of this

57

Credit Agreement, or any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by any Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by Borrower is permitted by the terms of the Operating Agreement or the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party.

2.11Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in SectionArticle 3 and subject to Section 2.15(a)(iii), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Committed Lender, an unused commitment fee which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the product of: (i) the average daily difference during the immediately preceding calendar quarter between (A) such

Committed Lender's Commitment and (B) such Committed Lender's Lender Group's outstanding Principal

Obligation during such calendar quarter (such productdifference, the "Unused Commitment"), and (ii)(x) if at any time the aggregate Unused Commitment is equal to or less than fiftythirty-five percent (350%) of the Maximum Commitment, then the rate equal to 0.40% per annum, and (y) if at any time the aggregate Unused Commitment is less than or equal to fifty percent (50%), but greater than fiftythirty-five percent (350%), of the Maximum Commitment, then the rate equal to 2.351.00% per annum. and (z) if at any time the aggregate Unused Commitment is greater than fifty percent (50%), then the rate equal to two-hundred and thirty five percent (2.35%). The unused commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date for the period from the end of the preceding calendar quarter until the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything herein the contrary, Swingline Loans will not be deemed to be utilization for purposes of calculating the unused commitment fees above. Borrower and Committed Lenders acknowledge and agree that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to Committed Lenders for committing to make funds available to Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes and shall be due and payable whether or not the conditions precedent in Section 7.02 are satisfied.

2.12Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)Letter of Credit Fee. Subject to Sections 2.15, the Borrower Party that is the applicant for a Letter of Credit shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Committed

Lender in accordance with its Repayment Percentage, a fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") for each such Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit; provided, however that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral or other credit support arrangements satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.08 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Committed Lenders in accordance with their respective Repayment Percentages (without giving effect to the Letter of Credit Liability held by each Defaulting Lender), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account. Such fee shall be: (i) due and payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the issuance of any Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date, and thereafter (if applicable) on demand; and (ii) computed quarterly in arrears. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.05. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

58

contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, such fee shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Letters of Credit plus two percent (2%).

(b)Fronting Fee and Administrative Charges. The Borrower Party that is the applicant for a Letter of Credit shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer, for its own account, in consideration of the issuance and fronting of Letters of Credit, a fronting fee with respect to each such Letter of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the issuance of any Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter (if applicable) on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.05. In addition, such Borrower Party shall pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, provided that such fees shall not exceed five hundred dollars ($500), and other standard costs and charges of the Letter of Credit Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

2.13Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest with respect to the Base Rate (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365)-day year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan from and including the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.03, bear interest for one (1) day.

2.14Cash Collateral.

(a)Certain Credit Support Events. If: (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been repaid in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement; (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Collateralization Date, any Letter of Credit Liability for any reason remains outstanding; (iii) the applicable Borrower Party shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 11.02; or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender; Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one (1) Business Day (in all other cases) following any request by Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). In addition, (x) Section 3.04 sets forth certain additional requirements for the delivery of Cash Collateral or other credit support in certain circumstances, and (y) Section 2.07 contemplates the delivery of Cash Collateral or other credit support in connection with the issuance of Swingline Loans.

(b)Grant of Security Interest. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the

59

Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all cash, including all deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property provided as Cash Collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(d). If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Natixis (or with respect to any Letter of Credit, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer if requested thereby). Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges (provided that such administrative fees and charges shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) annually) in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c)Letters of Credit Sublimit. If Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Parties at any time that the Letter of Credit Liability at such time exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then the Borrower Party having applied for such Letter of Credit shall Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Liability in an amount equal to the amount by which Letter of Credit Liability exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit: (A) promptly upon receipt of such notice (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), with proceeds from a Borrowing hereunder, up to the Available Commitment at such time; and (B) to the extent that for any reason such Borrowing is not available in an amount sufficient to fully Cash Collateralize such amount of the Letter of Credit Liability, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such notice, with the proceeds of a Capital Call (and Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notices during such time, and shall Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit Liability immediately after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call are received).

(d)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided hereunder shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Liability, obligation to fund participations in Swingline Loans, or other obligations for which such Cash Collateral was provided, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(e)Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following: (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 13.11(b)(vii))); or (ii) the good faith determination by Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however: (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Borrower Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.14 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 11.05); and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

60

2.15Defaulting Lenders.

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

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

(ii)Defaulting Lender Applications. 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 SectionArticle 11 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.02, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent in the following order: (a) to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer or

Swingline Lender hereunder; to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer's Fronting

Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; (b) as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Syndicated 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; (c) if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to: (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement; and (y) Cash

Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer's future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Credit Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; (d) to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or

Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; (e) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and (f) to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if: (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Syndicated Loans of, and Letter of Credit Liability owed to, all Lender Groups of Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Repayment Percentage (without giving effect to the Principal Obligation of such Defaulting Lender) prior to being applied to the payment of any Syndicated Loans of, or Letter of Credit Liability owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Syndicated Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liability and Swingline Loans are held by the Committed Lenders in accordance with each such Committed Lender's Repayment Percentage (without giving effect to the

Principal Obligation held by such Defaulting Lender) without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting

61

Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees.

(A)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any unused commitment fee payable under Section 2.11 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

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

(C)With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.11 or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause

(A) or clause (B) above, Borrower shall: (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender's participation in Letter of Credit Liability or

Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below; (y) pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit Issuer's or Swingline Lender's Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting

Lender; and (z) Borrower shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in Letter of Credit Liability and

Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among each Non-Defaulting Lender (based on its Committed Lender Percentage (without giving effect to the Commitment of such

Defaulting Lender)) calculated as the product of its Lender Group's Lender Group

Percentage (without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) multiplied by the principal amount of such participation, but only to the extent that: (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (y) such reallocation does not cause (i) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and Letter of Credit Liability of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment or (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure and Letter of

Credit Liability of any Lender Group to exceed the aggregate Commitments of its Non-Defaulting Lenders. Subject to Section 13.28, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Committed Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

62

(v)Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender's Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer's Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Committed Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Committed Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion (not otherwise funded by its Lender Group) of outstanding Syndicated Loans of the other Lender Groups or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Syndicated Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held among the Lender Groups (and the Committed Lenders therein) in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv), whereupon such Committed Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Committed 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 Committed Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Committed Lender's having been a

Defaulting Lender.

2.16ReservedExtension of Stated Maturity Date. . So long as no (x) Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Stated Maturity Date and (y) the representations and warranties contained in Section 8 or in any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on, and as of, the Stated Maturity Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.16, the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.06 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 9.01, Borrower may extend the Stated Maturity Date to a date that is not later than 364 days after the then-effective Stated Maturity Date, no more than one time, upon (the date such conditions are satisfied, the "Facility Extension Effective Date"): (a) delivery of a Facility Extension Request to Administrative Agent not less than ten (10) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect; and (b) payment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of a facility extension fee equal to twenty-five basis points (0.25%) on the then-existing Maximum Commitment.

2.17Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a)Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrower from time to time, increase the Maximum Commitment to the amount requested by Borrower by: (x) admitting additional committed lenders hereunder (each, a "Subsequent Committed Lender"); or (y) increasing the Commitment of any Committed Lender (each, an "Increasing Committed Lender"); or both, subject to the following conditions and Section 2.17(c):

(i)Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Request (and Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies of such notice to Funding Agents);

63

(ii)If requested pursuant to Section 3.01, Borrower shall, as applicable, execute a new Note payable to each Subsequent Committed Lender and Increasing Committed Lender;

(vii)Administrative Agent consents to such Facility Increase Request; and

(viii)Borrower shall pay the applicable Facility Increase Fee.

3.PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

3.01Notes.

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

(b)Any Funding Agent, on behalf of any Lender member of its Lender Group, may request that the Syndicated Loans to be made by such Lender Group to the Borrower shall be evidenced by promissory notes. Swingline Loans and Qualified Borrower obligations shall not be evidenced by separate promissory notes. If so requested, the Borrower shall issue such Notes. Each such Note shall: (a) be payable to the Funding Agent for such Lender Group or such other administrator or trustee for the Lender member of such Lender Group as such Funding Agent may designate (or, if requested by such Funding Agent, to such Funding Agent and its registered assigns); (b) bear interest in accordance with the provisions hereof; (c) be in the form of Exhibit B, attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (d) be made by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent or any applicable Funding Agent, to reissue new Notes, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to any Committed Lender or Conduit Lender and to any Assignee of such Lender in accordance with Section 13.12, in substitution for the Notes previously issued by the Borrower to the Funding Agent or other party, as appropriate and in accordance herewith for the affected Lender, and such previously issued Notes shall be returned to the Borrower marked

"cancelled".

3.02Payment of Interest.

(a)Interest. Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Sections 2.06 and 2.13, notwithstanding whether any Borrower Party received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date and even if such Borrowing is held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement. When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from a Borrower Party, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, in accordance with the Loan Notice, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other Same Day Funds by Administrative Agent.

(b)Interest Payment Dates. Except with respect to Swingline Loans, which are addressed by Section 2.07(a), accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations, including any interest

65

payable on any Loan prepaid pursuant to Section 3.05, shall be due and payable: (i) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (for the fiscal quarter then ended with respect to Base Rate Loans and Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, for the Interest Period then ended with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and for all accrued and unpaid interest to date with respect to CP Rate Loans) and on the Maturity Date, (ii) on each other date of any reduction of the Principal Obligation hereunder; and

(iii)with respect to any obligation of a Borrower Party hereunder on which such Borrower Party is in default, at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by Administrative Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(c)Direct Disbursement. If, at any time, Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon the Loans or any fee described herein, Administrative Agent may direct the disbursement of funds from the applicable Collateral Account to Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent available therein for payment of any such amount.

3.03Payments of Obligations.

(a)Maturity Date. The principal amount of the Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other Obligations then outstanding, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Each Borrower Party shall repay each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower Party on the earlier to occur of (i) the date three (3) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date; provided, that, if an Event of Default shall occur, then all Swingline Loans shall immediately become due and payable.

(b)Payments Generally. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by any Borrower Party to or for the account of Lenders, or any of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff by such Borrower Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders and Lender Groups to which such payment is owed, at

Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent's Office in such Alternative

Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. 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, Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. Funds received by Administrative Agent: (i) after 1:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be treated for all purposes as having been received by Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. Except as provided in Section 13.11(c) hereof, and except for Swingline Loans repaid to the Swingline Lender before the provisions of Section 2.07(d)(i) become applicable, each Lender shall be entitled to receive its applicable share of each payment received

66

by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by Administrative Agent to the appropriate Funding Agent. If any payment to be made by any Borrower Party shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. Each Funding Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to apply the amounts received in respect of such repayments to the outstanding Loans of the Lenders members of its Lender Group so as to minimize broken funding payments payable pursuant to Section 4.05.

(c)Clawback .

(i)Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or CP Rate Loan (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender Group will not make available to Administrative Agent such

Lender Group's share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such

Lender Group has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender Group has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.04) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower Party a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender Group has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the Committed Lenders in such Lender Group and the applicable Borrower Party severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower Party to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Committed Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower Party, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if funds are not available to such Borrower Party in the Collateral Account to make payment on demand, to the extent that it is necessary for Borrower to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment, such payment shall be made within fifteen

(15) Business Days after Administrative Agent's demand (and, in any event, Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notices and shall make such payment promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received). If any Borrower Party and such Committed Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower Party the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower Party for such period. If such Committed Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Committed Lender's Syndicated Loan included in such Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower Party shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower Party may have against a Committed Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(ii)Payments by Borrower Parties; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower Party prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Funding Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder that such

67

Borrower Party will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower Party has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Funding Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower Party has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Committed Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Funding Agent's Lender Group or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

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

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

3.04Mandatory Prepayment.

(a)Excess Loans Outstanding. Subject to Section 3.04(c), to the extent applicable, ifIf, on any day, the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Commitment (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event, the delivery of an Initial Notice, the application of any Investor Concentration Limit or Portfolio Asset Concentration Limit or Portfolio Asset Concentration Limit, an update to the Fair Market Value of an Eligible Portfolio Asset, or the failure of an Eligible Portfolio Asset to comply with all of the criteria to be an "Eligible Portfolio Asset" (a "Mandatory Prepayment Event")), then the applicable Borrower Party shall pay to

Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an amount sufficient that, after giving effect to such prepayment and any Capital Calls and/or the Disposition of any Portfolio Asset to fund such prepayment, the Principal Obligation would no longer exceed the Available Commitment (except to the extent any Swingline Loan is outstanding and the applicable Borrower Party elects to pay all or any portion of such excess with respect to any Swingline Loan, in which case such payment shall be for the benefit of Swingline Lender) (such amount, the "Required Payment"), in Same Day Funds: (A) promptly following Borrower's knowledge of such Mandatory Prepayment Event (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the earlier of (I) Administrative Agent's demand, and (II) Borrower's knowledge of such Mandatory Prepayment Event), to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Account or the Portfolio Collection Accounts; and (B) within fifteen (15)

Business Days of the earlier of (I) Administrative Agent's demand, and (II) Borrower's knowledge of such Mandatory Prepayment Event (the "Prepayment Period"), to the extent that it is necessary for Borrower to (x) issue Capital Call Notices to fund such Required Payment (and Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notices during such time) and shall pay such Required Payment, promptly after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call Notice are received or (y) Dispose of a Portfolio Asset (with prompt (within three (3) Business Days) identification of such Portfolio Asset and written certification to the Administrative Agent that the cash received from such Disposition (net of Associated Expenses) will be used to repay the excess Principal Obligation required to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) within the Prepayment Period), the Disposition proceeds of

68

which (net of Associated Expenses), together with all funds then on deposit in the Collateral Account and the Portfolio Collection Accounts, equal the Required Payment to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.04(a).

(b)Excess Letters of Credit Outstanding. To the extent that any excess calculated pursuant to Section 3.04(a) is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit, then the applicable Borrower Party may Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Liability in the amount of such excess, when required pursuant to the terms of Section 3.04(a). To the extent that the Letter of Credit Liability exceeds the Available Commitment, the applicable Borrower Parties shall Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit Liability in an amount equal to the excess of the Letter of Credit Liability over the Available Commitment. Unless otherwise required by law, upon: (A) a change in circumstances such that such amount no longer remains outstanding; or (B) the full and final payment of the Obligations, Administrative Agent shall return to the applicable Borrower Party any remaining Cash Collateral as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within two

(2)Business Days.

(c)Decreases in Fair Market Value of Eligible Portfolio Assets.[Reserved]

(i)Cash Sweep. If, as of any date, both (x) the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Commitment and (y) the Eligible Portfolio Asset Decrease is greater than zero percent (0%), the applicable Borrower Parties shall use all Collections and proceeds from Dispositions (net of Associated Expenses) from the Portfolio Assets, promptly upon any Borrower Party's receipt of same, to repay the Principal Obligation until such time as the Principal Obligation no longer exceeds the Available Commitment.

(ii)Adjusted Required Payment. If, as of any date, both (x) the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Commitment and (y) the Eligible Portfolio Asset Decrease is greater than zero percent (0%) but less than or equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%), then for the purpose of Section 3.04(a) the Required Payment with respect to the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Event shall be calculated pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Eligible Portfolio Asset Decrease is equal to zero percent (0%), or greater than seven and one-half percent (7.5%), then the Required Payment shall be the amount specified in Section 3.04(a), and this Section 3.04(c)(ii) shall not apply. If this Section 3.04(c)(ii) does apply, the Required Payment shall be the amount (if any) required such that, after giving effect to such prepayment, the Principal Obligation is less than the Borrowing Base (provided that the Borrowing Base shall be calculated as if the Fair Market Value of each of the Eligible Portfolio Assets was equal to their Initial Fair Market Value. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Principal Obligation is already less than or equal to such amount, then the amount of the Required Payment shall be zero.

(d)Dispositions. If

(i)Beginning on the Cash Sweep Trigger Date, if any Borrower Party shall Dispose of any Sweep Eligible Asset or receive a Collection with respect to any Sweep Eligible Asset after the Cash Sweep Trigger Dateduring an Asset Reliance Period, then such Borrower Party shall prepay Loans made to such Borrower Party (and the Maximum Commitment shall be automatically reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such prepayment) by the amount equal to the product of (x) the applicable Sweep Percentage below and (y) the cash received from such Disposition (net of Associated Expenses) or such Collection and such repaymentprepayment shall occur within five (5)

Business Days of such Borrower Party's receipt of such cash from such Disposition or such

69

Collection. The definition of Eligible Portfolio Assets shall not include First Lien, Last Out Loans for the purpose of calculating the applicable Sweep Percentage.

Beginning on April 10, 2019, if

(ii) If, at any time, the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (1) the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Eligible Portfolio Assets that are Performing, plus (x) 100% of Controlled Cash of the Borrower Parties (y) minus Reserved Cash, to (2) the Principal Obligation is less than onetwo hundred fifty percent (15200%), then one hundred percent (100%) of (A) all Collections from the Portfolio Assets and (B) the cash received from any Disposition (net of Associated Expenses) of the Portfolio Assets shall be used to prepay the Principal Obligation (and the Maximum Commitment shall be automatically reduced on a dollar- for- dollar basis by the amount of such prepayment) within five (5) Business Days following the date such Collections or cash from Dispositions are received in the applicable Portfolio Collection Account.

(e)Spin-Off. On the effective date of a Spin-Off, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in full and the Commitments shall simultaneously terminate, and no Spin-Off shall be effective until the Obligations are paid in full.

3.05Voluntary Prepayments. Any Borrower Party may, upon noticedelivery of a Prepayment Notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) with respect to Swingline Loans, the principal of any Swingline Loan may be prepaid by 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, and any prepayment not received by 11:00 a.m. on such Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day; and (b) with respect to any other Loan, such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than: (A) 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Loans accruing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate, Floating LIBOR Rate or the CP Rate; and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies; and (B) 11:00 a.m. (i) one

(1)Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate; and (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such noticePrepayment Notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment, if applicable, the Type(s) of Syndicated Loans to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Funding Agent of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of its Lender

Group's Repayment Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by a Borrower Party, such

Borrower Party shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. With respect to any Loan prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.05, all accrued interest thereon shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.02(b) and any additional amounts

70

required pursuant to SectionArticle 4 with respect thereto shall be promptly paid following receipt of an accurate and correct invoice for such amounts. Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Principal Obligation held by each Lender in accordance with its applicable Repayment Percentage.

3.06Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Maximum Commitment hereunder shall at no time equal an aggregate amount of less than $25,000,000, (iv) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Principal Obligation would exceed the Available Commitments; and (v) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit exceeds the amount of the aggregate Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit or Swingline Sublimit, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Committed Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Committed Lender according to its pro rata share thereof. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

3.07Lending Office. Each Lender may: (a) designate the principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Loan; and (b) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower. In such event, the Funding Agent for such Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Committed Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.06, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Committed Lender shall, regardless of such Committed Lender's actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by the Borrower Parties for such Borrowing period.

(i)Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within twenty (20) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.01) payable or paid by such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, but excluding any penalties, interest, or expenses that are attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the Recipient. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation and basis such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower Party by a Recipient (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii)Each Lender, Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten

(10)days after demand therefor: (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer (but only to the extent that any Borrower Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent

72

for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so); (B) Administrative Agent against any Taxes attributable to such Person's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.11(ef) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (C) Administrative Agent against any Excluded Taxes attributable to Person, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent or the Borrower Parties shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender, Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.01(c)(ii).

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

(e)Status of Recipients; Tax Documentation.

(i)Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by a Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law, by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction or reasonably requested by a Borrower Party or Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. A Liquidity Provider that is a Foreign Recipient shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.01 unless Borrower is notified of the Liquidity Agreement and consents to such benefits and such Liquidity Provider, for the benefit of the Borrower Parties, complies with this Section 4.01. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A), 4.01(e)(ii)(B) and 4.01(e)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the

Recipient's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (provided that such

Recipient's internal costs of completing, executing or submitting such documentation shall not be considered to be material unreimbursed costs or expenses) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

73

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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

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

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

(2)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, or applicable

successor form;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code; (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such

Foreign Recipient is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of such Borrower

Party within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a

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

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

74

provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(5)Executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

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

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

Recipient has complied with such Recipient's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to

FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.

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

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower Parties or with respect to which any Borrower Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.01, it shall pay to such Borrower Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower Party under this Section 4.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower Party, upon the request of such Recipient, agree to

75

repay the amount paid over to any such Borrower Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Borrower Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower Parties or any other Person.

(g)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.01, the term "Lender" includes the

Letter of Credit Issuer and any Liquidity Provider and the term "applicable Law" includes FATCA (including any amendments thereto).

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

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

76

4.03Inability to Determine Rates; Market Disruption.

(a)If in connection with any request for a Loan or a conversion to or continuation

thereof: (a)

(i)Administrative Agent determines that: (iA) deposits (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan; or (iiB) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR (A1) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or (B2) in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan (in each case, with respect to clause (a) above, the "Impacted Loans")including, without limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are likely to be temporary; or (b)

(ii)Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the (i) Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or (ii) the Floating LIBOR Rate with respect to a proposed Floating LIBOR Rate Loan, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Funding Parties of funding such Loan; then

(iii)Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower Parties and each Funding Party. Thereafter:; and

(iv)as long as no alternative rate described in clause (xa)(v) below has been established, then the obligation of the Funding Parties, as applicable, to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Floating LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods); and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Floating LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Floating LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower Party may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or of Floating LIBOR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Floating LIBOR Rate Loan) in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, without reference to the Floating LIBOR Rate, in the amount specified therein.; and

(v) Notwithstandingnotwithstanding the foregoing, if Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section(i) or (a)(ii) above, Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower and the Required Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower Parties, may establish an alternative rate to be used in substitution for the LIBOR in calculating the interest rate for the Impactedimpacted Loans, in which case such alternative rate shall apply in calculating interest with respect to the Impactedimpacted Loans until (1A) Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impactedimpacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section(i) or (a)(ii) above, (2B) Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent and Borrower that such alternative rate does

77

not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Funding Parties of funding the Impactedimpacted Loans, or (3C) any Funding Party determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Funding Party or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Funding Party to do any of the foregoing and provides Administrative Agent and Borrower written notice thereof, provided, however, that to the extent an alternative rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection herewith, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, further, that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

(b)If for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan, Administrative Agent determines (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower Parties or Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower Parties) that the Borrower Parties or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan including, without limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii)the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate will no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the

"Scheduled Unavailability Date"); or

(iii)syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 4.03, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR; then

(iv)reasonably promptly after such determination by Administrative Agent or receipt by Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similarly denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a "LIBOR Successor Rate," the definition of which shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than one hundred basis points or such other minimum rate as may be appropriate), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment; and

78

(v)if no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and either the circumstances under clause (b)(i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), then Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender; and

(vi)thereafter, (A) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans will be suspended, (to the extent of the impacted Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (B) the LIBOR Rate component will no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate.

(c)Upon receipt of any such notice under clause (a)(iii) or clause (b)(v) above, the Borrower Parties may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the impacted Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

4.04Increased Costs Generally.

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

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

(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than: (A) Indemnified Taxes;

(B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes; and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Funding Party or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or made or funded by a Liquidity Provider under a Liquidity Agreement or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Funding Party of making, converting, continuing, funding, or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make or fund any such Loan or to advance funds under a Liquidity Agreement), or to increase the cost to such Funding Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Funding Party (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Funding Party (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a certificate provided under subsection (c) of this Section 4.04), the applicable Borrower Party will pay to such Funding Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Funding Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, however, that if funds are not available to such Borrower Party in the Collateral Account, to the extent that it is necessary for Borrower to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required compensation, such payment shall be made within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of a certificate provided under subsection (c) of this Section 4.04.

79

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Funding Party determines that any Change in Law affecting such Funding Party, any Lending Office of such Funding Party or such Funding Party's holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Funding Party's capital or on the capital of such Funding Party's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Funding Party or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Funding Party, the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any obligation to advance funds under a Liquidity Agreement, to a level below that which such Funding

Party or such Funding Party's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Funding Party's policies and the policies of such Funding Party's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and such Funding Party's desired return on capital), then from time to time the applicable Borrower Party will pay to such Funding Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Funding Party or such Funding Party's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Funding Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Funding Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 4.04 and delivered to a Borrower Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Funding Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Funding Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Funding Party's right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower Party shall be required to compensate a Funding Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section

4.04for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Funding Party notifies Borrower Parties of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Funding Party's intention to claim compensation therefor

(except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)Additional Reserve Requirements. Borrower Parties shall pay to each Funding

Party: (i) as long as such Funding Party shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as

"Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each

Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Funding Party (as determined by such Funding Party in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Funding Party shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Funding Party (as determined by such Funding Party in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided Borrower Parties shall have received at least ten (10) days' prior notice (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Funding Party. If a Funding Party fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

80

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

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

(b)any failure by such Borrower Party (for a reason other than the failure of such Funding Party to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan, in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, other than a Base Rate Loan or Floating LIBOR Rate Loan, on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower Party ((including, in the case of any Conduit Lender, pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender (or the applicable Liquidity Provider(s)) (including funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) in order to fund such Borrowing, continuation or conversion);

(c)any failure by any Borrower Party to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

(d)any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or CP Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by such Borrower Party pursuant to Section 13.13;

including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense (excluding any loss of anticipated profits) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. Each applicable Borrower Party shall also pay the customary administrative fees charged by such Lender or Liquidity Provider, as applicable, in connection with the foregoing.

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

81

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

4.06Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Funding Party.

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

(b)Replacement of Funding Party. If (i) any Funding Party requests compensation under Section 4.04, (ii) any Borrower Party is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or any additional amounts to any Funding Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Funding Party pursuant to Section 4.01 and in each case such Funding Party has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 4.06(a) or such designation does not eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 to the same extent, (iii) any Committed Lender is unwilling or unable to fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iv) any Committed Lender does not consent to an amendment or waiver under Section 13.01 or (v) any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Borrower may, at its sole cost and effort, replace such

Funding Party's Lender Group in accordance with Section 13.13; provided, however, that a Lender Group shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Funding Party or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

4.07Survival. Each Borrower Party's obligations under this SectionArticle 4 shall survive termination of the aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder or resignation of the Administrative Agent.

5.SECURITY.

5.01Liens and Security Interest.

(a)To secure performance by the Borrower Parties of the payment and performance of the Obligations: (i) Borrower shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, a perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) security interest and lien in and to the Collateral Account pursuant to a Collateral Account Assignment and a Deposit Account Control Agreement for the Collateral Account; and (ii) Borrower shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens)

82

security interest and Lien in and to (A) the Capital Calls, Capital Commitments, and Capital Contributions, including, without limitation (but subject to Section 11.03), any rights to make Capital Calls, receive payment of Capital Commitments and enforce the payment thereof pursuant to the Operating Agreement and to enforce the payment thereof or any guarantees thereof now existing or hereinafter arising, (B) all Portfolio Assets, (C) all rights under any agreements with respect to any swap, forward, future or derivative transaction or similar agreement entered into directly by the Borrower Parties with respect to Portfolio Assets, (D) each Portfolio Collection Account, (E) all Collections, Disposition proceeds, and Related Credit Documents, (F) all cash of the Borrower Parties in the Collateral Account or Portfolio Collection Accounts, (G) all other assets of the Borrower Parties as more specifically described in the Security Agreements, and (H) all proceeds relating to the foregoing (collectively, the "Collateral"). In order to secure further the payment and performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate Secured Parties' rights of setoff, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as subscription agent and the sole party entitled in the name of Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (but subject to Section 11.03), to make any Capital Calls upon the Investors pursuant to (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreements and the Operating Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Collateral" shall not include (a) any ERISA Investor Excluded Items if such provision of such ERISA Investor Excluded Item or the exercise of remedies with respect to such ERISA Investor Excluded Item would be a prohibited transaction for purposes of Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable law, (b) the Capital Commitments or any assets, interests, rights or obligations of the SOX Insiders, if any, unless so elected by the Borrower Parties in their discretion, (c) any funds properly withdrawn or transferred from the Collateral Account or Portfolio Collection Account to the extent used for any purpose permitted under the Operating Agreement and this Credit Agreement, and the proceeds of such withdrawn funds, and (d) any Portfolio Assets which, (i) are not Eligible Portfolio Assets, and (ii) the granting of a security interest in which would be restricted or prohibited by relevant governing law or contractual documentation evidencing such Portfolio Asset, unless such restriction or prohibition is made ineffective by the applicable UCC (including Section 9-406(d) of the UCC with respect to payment intangibles) or relevant governing law, or such restriction or prohibition has been waived by the appropriate parties (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the term "Collateral" shall include (x) such Portfolio Assets upon such waiver being obtained, and (y) all proceeds of such Portfolio Assets to the extent that such proceeds are not themselves subject to such restrictions or prohibitions).

(b)Each Borrower shall, with respect to the Portfolio Assets which are to be included in the Borrowing Base as Eligible Portfolio Assets, obtain and deliver to the Collateral Agent the following: (i) copies of the Related Credit Documents, which Related Credit Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; (ii) in the case of any note, an original of such note and an original Allonge executed with respect to each such note; (iii) applicable administrative forms directing the appropriate Person to fund any amounts payable to such Borrower under the Related Credit Documents with respect to such Portfolio Asset into the applicable Portfolio Collection Account ("Administrative Direction Detail"); and (iv) if the Related Credit Documents with respect to any such Portfolio Asset contain any restrictions or prohibitions on granting a Lien on such Portfolio Asset, written waiver thereof and/or consent to the granting of such Liens. The requirements of this subsection 5.01(b) shall be referred to as the

"Collateral Requirements."

(c)Each Borrower Party shall further use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Collateral Requirements for all Portfolio Assets (unless otherwise waived by the

83

Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, as of the Closing Date, or, if later, at their time of acquisition or origination by a Borrower Party, with respect to Portfolio Assets that are not Eligible Portfolio Assets). Upon notice from Borrower identifying Portfolio Assets with respect to which a Borrower Party is not reasonably able to fully comply with such Collateral Requirements, Borrower may (i) propose to Administrative Agent an alternative method for complying with the Collateral Requirements for such Portfolio Asset, which method shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Lenders, or (ii) may elect to not comply with such specified Collateral Requirements. If any such alternative method for complying with the Collateral Requirements is not reasonably approved by the Lenders or is not accomplished by Borrower Parties, or if Borrower Parties elect to not comply with any specified Collateral Requirements, such Portfolio Assets will be disregarded in full for purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of the Eligible Portfolio Assets and the corresponding calculation of the Borrowing Base. For the avoidance of doubt, no Portfolio Asset will be an Eligible Portfolio Asset until the Borrower Parties have completed all of the Collateral Requirements (as may be modified by this Section 5.031(c)) with respect to such Portfolio Asset. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if there are any Portfolio Assets with respect to which a Borrower Party has not complied with the Collateral Requirements, such Borrower Party shall, within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of such Event of Default, provide the Administrative Agent with all documentation reasonably necessary for each such Portfolio Asset to comply with the Collateral Requirements to the extent it can do so using commercially reasonable efforts.

5.02Collateral Account; Capital Calls.

(a)Collateral Account. Borrower shall direct that all Investors wire-transfer to State

Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Depository"), for further credit to the Collateral Account, all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any Investor as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to the Capital Call Notices. In addition, Borrower shall promptly, upon receipt, deposit in the Collateral Account any payments and monies that Borrower receives directly from the Investors as Capital Contributions.

(b)Reserved .

(c)No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, nor any Secured Party undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to Capital Calls, and other than with respect to the mechanics for Administrative Agent, subject to Section 11.03, to issue a Capital Call under the terms of the Operating Agreement, none of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of Borrower or take any other action with respect to any other matter which might arise in connection with such Constituent Documents or the Subscription Agreements, or any Capital Call. None of them shall have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of Borrower, or any Investor. None of them has any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Capital Call or with respect to the investment or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d)Capital Calls. In order that Secured Parties may monitor the Collateral and the Capital Commitments, Borrower shall not issue any Capital Call Notice without delivering to Administrative Agent (which delivery may be by any one or more means of physical delivery, via facsimile or via email) promptly after the delivery of Capital Call Notice(s) to Investors, (i) copies of all such Capital Call Notices and (ii) a Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 9.01(f).

84

(e)Use of Account. Borrower may withdraw funds from the Collateral Account at any time or from time to time, so long as at the time of such withdrawal or disbursement and after giving effect thereto there does not exist an Event of Default under Sections 11.01(a), 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) to pay Permitted RIC Distributions or, so long as at the time of such withdrawal or disbursement and after giving effect thereto: (i) there does not exist an Event of Default; (ii) there does not exist a Default under Sections 11.01(a), 11.01(g) or 11.01(h); and (iii) the Principal Obligation does not exceed the Available Commitment (unless, in each case, Borrower has directed that such disbursement be paid to Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations pursuant to this Credit Agreement). Upon the exercise of a notice of control in accordance with Sections

11.02and 11.03, pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Account Control Agreement, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Secured Parties, acting through Administrative Agent, to charge from time to time its Collateral Account for amounts not paid when due (after the passage of any applicable grace period) to Secured Parties or any of them hereunder, under any Letter of Credit Application, under any Letter of Credit or under the Notes. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, none of Administrative Agent or Secured Parties shall ever be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Capital Call Notices, Capital Commitments, or any Capital Contributions, or sums due or paid thereon. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.02(e), but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of Borrower with respect to such action.

(f)Electronic Access to Collateral Account and Portfolio Collections Accounts. In order to verify the deposits and withdrawals in each Collateral Account and each Portfolio Collections Account, and in addition to any other information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent with respect to a Collateral Account or a Portfolio Collection Account (including monthly bank statements), Borrower shall cause the Depository to provide Administrative Agent with continuous online monitoring access, effective as of the Closing Date.

(g)Other Accounts. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Borrower may maintain other bank accounts or securities accounts in addition to the Collateral Account and the Portfolio Collection Accounts that will not be considered

"Collateral" or a "Collateral Account" or a "Portfolio Collection Account" and such other accounts shall not be subject to control agreements or other restrictions, provided that, for avoidance of doubt, all Capital Contributions shall be directed and deposited as provided above and all Collections and Dispositions (net of Associated Expenses) of the respective Portfolio Assets shall be directed and deposited as provided below.

5.03Reserved .

5.04Portfolio Collections Accounts.

(a)Each Borrower Party shall establish and maintain with an Account Bank one or more Portfolio Collection Accounts into which all proceeds of Collections and Dispositions (net of Associated Expenses) of its Portfolio Assets shall be deposited as and when received by such Borrower Party, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, if not received in such account, and such proceeds shall be maintained until application of the same in accordance with this Credit Agreement.

85

(b)The applicable Borrower Party shall be permitted to make withdrawals from its Portfolio Collection Account(s) at any time or from time to time, so long as at the time of such withdrawal or disbursement and after giving effect thereto there does not exist an Event of Default under Sections 11.01(a), 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), to pay Permitted RIC Distributions or, so long as at the time of such withdrawal or disbursement and after giving effect thereto: (i) there are no cash sweep payments required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.04 that remain unpaid; (ii) there does not exist an Event of Default; (iii) there does not exist a Default under Sections 11.01(a), 11.01(g) or 11.01(h); and (iv) the Principal Obligation does not exceed the Available Commitment (unless, in each case, the applicable Borrower Party has directed that such disbursement be paid to Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations pursuant to this Credit Agreement or, with respect to Portfolio Assets that are not Eligible Portfolio Assets, provided that there does not exist an Event of Default, withdrawals of amounts earmarked for pre-existing commitments of the Borrower Parties or their Subsidiaries in connection with Portfolio Assets, as evidenced by a written certification to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent that such amounts are so earmarked, and subject to Administrative Agent's consent in its reasonable discretion).

Borrower hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees in favor of each Secured Party, the prompt payment when due of all interest, principal, fees, expenses and other amounts now or hereafter represented by, or arising in connection with all Obligations of each Qualified Borrower now or hereafter arising (collectively, the "Guaranteed Debt").

The obligations of Borrower under this SectionArticle 6 are an unconditional guaranty of payment, and not a guaranty of collection, and Administrative Agent may enforce Borrower's obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 2.09 without first suing, or enforcing its rights or remedies against, any applicable Qualified Borrower or any other obligor, or enforcing or collecting any present or future collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt.

6.02Waiver of Rights.

(c)the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of any Qualified Borrower; (d) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt; (e) the full or partial release of any Qualified Borrower or any other obligor; (f) the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment of any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt; (g) the failure of any Secured Party properly to obtain, perfect or preserve any security interest or lien in any such collateral; (h) the failure of any Secured Party to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness or reasonable care in the preservation, enforcement or sale of any such collateral; and (i) any other act or omission of any Secured Party or any Qualified Borrower which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense in favor of Borrower.

6.04Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SectionArticle 6, until the Guaranteed Debt (other than any part of the Guaranteed Debt that represents contingent contractual

86

indemnities) has been paid in full, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of any Secured Party) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from any Qualified Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any obligations of any Qualified Borrower to Secured Parties, for any disbursement made by Borrower under or in connection with the obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Debt under this SectionArticle 6, Section 2.09 or otherwise.

6.05Benefit. For purposes of this SectionArticle 6, Borrower represents and warrants that it has received or will receive direct or indirect benefit from the making of this guaranty and the creation of the Guaranteed Debt, that Borrower is familiar with the financial condition of each Qualified Borrower and the value of any collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt, and that no Secured Party has made any representations or warranties to Borrower in order to induce Borrower to execute this guaranty.

6.06Reinstatement. The obligations of Borrower under this SectionArticle 6 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by a Secured Party, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or dissolution of any Qualified Borrower, in each case as though such payment had not been made.

6.07Continuing Guarantee. The guarantees in this SectionArticle 6 are continuing guarantees, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Debt whenever arising.

For avoidance of doubt, and solely with respect to the Investors which were Members of Borrower as of the Closing Date, Section 7.01(a)(xi) was satisfied on or before the Closing Date by the documents delivered under the Original Credit Agreement.

8.01Organization and Good Standing of Borrower. Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Borrower Party 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 reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

91

8.02Authorization and Power. Each Borrower Party has the partnership, limited liability company or corporate power, as applicable, and requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform their respective obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated in, this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents to be executed by it. Each Borrower Party is duly authorized to, and has taken all partnership, limited liability company and corporate action, as applicable, necessary to authorize each of them to execute, deliver, and perform their respective obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated in, this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and such other Loan Documents and are and will continue to be duly authorized to perform their respective obligations under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and such other Loan Documents.

8.03No Conflicts or Consents. None of the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, or the other Loan Documents, the consummation of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, or the compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or with the terms and provisions thereof, will contravene or conflict, in any material respect, with any provision of law, statute, or regulation to which any Borrower Party is subject, or any of the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party, or any judgment, license, order, or permit applicable to any Borrower Party or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or instrument to which any Borrower Party is a party or by which any Borrower Party is bound, or to which any Borrower Party may be subject, nor will such execution, delivery, consummation or compliance result in the creation or imposition of a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the properties or assets of any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or Governmental Authority or material consent of any third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery, or performance, by any Borrower Party of the Loan Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

8.04Enforceable Obligations. This Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party are the legal and binding obligations of each Borrower Party, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws and equitable principles.

8.05Priority of Liens. The Collateral Documents create, as security for the Obligations, valid and enforceable, exclusive, first priority security interests in and Liens on all of the Collateral in which any Borrower Party has any right, title or interest, in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens), except as enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and equitable principles.

8.06Financial Condition. Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent (a) the most-recently available copies of the financial statements and reports described in Section 9.01, certified as true and correct by a Responsible Officer of Borrower; or (b) with respect to such requirement on the Closing Date, if such statements and reports are not then available, such information about the financial position of Borrower, if any, as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested. Such financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, as of the applicable date of such financial statements, and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as provided therein.

8.07Full Disclosure. There is no material fact actually known to a Responsible Officer of a Borrower Party that any Borrower Party has not disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing (other than information of a general industry or economic nature) which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No information heretofore furnished by any Borrower Party in connection with, or pursuant to, this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (taken as a whole) contains any untrue statement of a material fact on the date as of which such information is stated or deemed stated that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

92

8.08No Default. Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or a Default.

8.09No Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations or legal, equitable, arbitration or administrative proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending, or to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of any Borrower Party, threatened, against any Borrower Party that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower Party hereby expressly waives.

11.03Curing an Event of Default by Investor Capital Call or Portfolio Asset Disposition.

(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, none of Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party may issue funding notices to any Investor or exercise any other remedy to which it may be otherwise entitled under this Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity with respect to such Event of Default unless Administrative Agent shall have given the Borrower Parties three (3) Business Days written notice of its intention to exercise such remedies (provided that, no such notice is required to the extent the Event of Default arises from the failure of Borrower Parties to make a Capital Call or make a payment following a Capital Call), in each case, required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. If, at any time prior to or during such three (3) Business Day notice period, the Borrower Parties shall (i) make a Capital Call on the Unfunded Commitments of the Investors or (ii) identify a Portfolio Asset to be Disposed (and, provide a written certification to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the net cash proceeds to be received from such Disposition will be used to cure each such Event of Default (to the extent such Event of Default may be cured via repayment) or repay the outstanding Obligations within the period ending fifteen (15) Business Days from the end of the initial three

(3) Business Day notice period) sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Account and the Portfolio Collection Accounts) to cure each such Event of Default (to the extent such Event of Default may be cured via repayment) or repay the outstanding Obligations (and Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Liability) in full, as applicable, then Administrative Agent, the Lenders and other Secured Parties may not exercise any such remedy until the expiration of the period ending fifteen (15) Business Days from the end of the initial three (3) Business Day notice period, provided that nothing in this Section 11.03(a) shall prohibit Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party from (i) asserting exclusive control of the Collateral Account or any Portfolio Collection Account, (ii) taking any such actions as may be required to protect their rights in a bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) accelerating the Obligations or (iv) terminating the Commitments; provided, further, that to the extent that (A) the Borrower does not make such Capital Call or identify a Portfolio Asset to be Disposed or (B) the application of the proceeds of any such Capital Call or the net cash proceeds of such Disposition are not sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Account and the Portfolio Collection Accounts) to cure such Event of Default or repay the outstanding Obligations (and Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Liability) in full, as applicable, then, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with the terms hereof, issue a Capital Call in an amount sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Account and the Portfolio Collection Accounts) to cure such Event of Default (to the extent such Event of Default may be cured via repayment) or repay the outstanding Obligations (and Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Liability) in full, as applicable, or exercise any other remedy with respect to the Collateral.

(b)In the event that Administrative Agent elects to notify the Investors to make Capital Contributions in respect of their Unfunded Commitments, then Administrative Agent shall not request any individual Investor to fund an amount exceeding such Investor's pro-rata share of the Obligations (based on the proportion of such Investor's Unfunded Commitment to the aggregate Unfunded Commitments of all Investors other than Defaulting Investors) without first making best efforts (consistent with the terms of the Constituent Documents and applicable Law) to issue a Capital Call (which may be issued by Borrower or Administrative Agent) to each Investor for its pro-rata share of the Obligations and waiting fifteen (15) calendar days following such Capital Call prior to initiating further remedies. Further, without the prior written consent of Borrower, neither

106

the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may contact any Investor, other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder, to submit a Capital Call Notice or otherwise exercise remedies in connection therewith.

(c)None of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party shall be entitled to take any action against any Investor that is an ERISA Investor or a Plan (other than (i) issuing funding notices in the name of any Borrower Party or (ii) applying funds paid by such ERISA Investor or Plan into the Collateral Account (which shall remain in the name of Borrower) to the payment of the Obligations), under the Operating Agreement or Subscription Agreement, as applicable to the extent it has knowledge that a "prohibited transaction" (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code) would arise therefrom.

11.04Performance by Administrative Agent. Should any Borrower Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, Administrative Agent may (subject to Section 10.03), but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person. In such event, each Borrower Party shall, at the request of Administrative Agent promptly pay any reasonable amount expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent's Office, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither any of the Agents nor any of the other Secured Parties assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of any Borrower Party, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Borrower Party, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall any of the Agents or other Secured Parties be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Borrower Party or any related Person.

11.05Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 11.02 (or after the Swingline Loans and Syndicated Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and Letter of Credit Liabilities have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 11.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.15, be applied by Administrative Agent in the following order: (a) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and amounts payable under SectionArticle 4) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; (b) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer and amounts payable under SectionArticle 4), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them; (c) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) payable to them; (d) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) held by them; (e) to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of the Letter of Credit Liability comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.08 and 2.15; and (f) the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

107

Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, amountamounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (e) above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

12.AGENTS.

12.01Appointment and 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), Swingline Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints each Agent (other than a Funding Agent for a different Lender Group) to act on its behalf hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent (other than a Funding Agent for a different Lender Group) to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except for provisions of this SectionArticle 12 expressly granting rights to the Borrower Parties, the provisions of this SectionArticle 12 are solely for the benefit of Agents, the Lenders, Swingline Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, and no Borrower Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

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

12.03Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(i)shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose any Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the

108

automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

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

(b)No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.02 and 13.01 as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary); or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment, no Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless and until notice describing the same is given in writing to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender, Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(c)No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in SectionArticle 7 or elsewhere herein, other than, in the case of Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to it.

(d)Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility for, nor shall Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of LIBOR Rate or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto.

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

109

12.05Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 12.05 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

12.06Resignation of Administrative Agent.

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

(b)If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person and remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the

"Removal Effective Date"), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable): (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed); and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 4.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or

110

removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.06). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 12.06 and Section 13.06 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(d)Any resignation by Natixis as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.06 shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender. If Natixis resigns as Letter of Credit Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit Liability with respect thereto, including the right to require the Committed Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.08(c). If Natixis resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all of the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require Committed Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(c). In the event of any such resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Committed Lenders (subject to the consent of such Committed Lender in its sole discretion) a successor Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Committed Lender other than a Defaulting Lender); provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Natixis as Letter of Credit Issuer. Upon the appointment by Borrower of a successor Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, hereunder: (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable; (ii) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

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