▇. ▇▇▇▇ Price OHA Select Private Credit Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:

SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

Section 1.1. Authorization of Notes. The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.77% Series 2024A Senior Notes, due March 7, 2029 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, the “Series 2024A Notes”). The Series 2024A Notes shall be substantially in the forms set out in Schedule 1 hereto. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 22.4 shall govern.

The Series 2024A Notes, together with each Series of Additional Notes which may from time to time be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2, are collectively referred to as the “Notes” (such term shall also include any such notes as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13).

Section 1.2. Changes in Interest Rate. (a) If at any time a Below Investment Grade Event occurs, then:

(i) as of the date of the occurrence of a Below Investment Grade Event to and until the date on which such Below Investment Grade Event is no longer continuing (as evidenced by the receipt and delivery to the holders of the Notes of any Rating necessary to cure such Below Investment Grade Event), the Notes shall bear interest at the Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate; and

(ii) the Company shall promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the Company has knowledge that a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred, notify the holders of the Notes in writing, sent in the manner provided in Section 18, that a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred and confirming the effective date of the Below Investment Grade Event and that the Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate will accrue from the date on which such Below Investment Grade Event shall have occurred and will be payable on each subsequent interest payment date until such Below Investment Grade Event is no longer continuing in consequence thereof.

(b) The reasonable, documented fees and expenses of any Rating Agency and all other costs incurred in connection with obtaining, affirming or appealing a Rating pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be borne solely by the Company.

(c) If at any time a Secured Debt Ratio Event occurs, then:

(i) as of the earlier of (x) the date of the occurrence of a Secured Debt Ratio Event and (y) the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter or fiscal year for which financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 evidence the occurrence of a Secured Debt Ratio Event to and until the date on which such Secured Debt Ratio Event is no longer continuing (as evidenced by the receipt and delivery to the holders of the Notes of a certificate from a Senior Financial Officer of the Company certifying that such Secured Debt Ratio Event has been cured), the Notes shall bear interest at the Secured Debt Ratio Adjusted Interest Rate; and

(ii) to the extent the Company has knowledge thereof, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Company has knowledge that a Secured Debt Ratio Event has occurred, notify the holders of the Notes in writing, sent in the manner provided in Section 18, that a Secured Debt Ratio Event has occurred and confirming the effective date of the Secured Debt Ratio Event and that the Secured Debt Ratio Adjusted Interest Rate will accrue from such effective date and will be payable on each subsequent interest payment date until such Secured Debt Ratio Event is no longer continuing, in consequence thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a Below Investment Grade Event and a Secured Debt Ratio Event are both continuing at the same time, then as of the date on which both such events first simultaneously existed and are continuing until the earliest date on which either or both events is no longer continuing, the Notes shall bear interest at an interest rate per annum which is 2.00% above the stated rate of the Notes (or the Default Rate based on the stated interest rate for the Note, as the case may be); provided that after such date if either the Below Investment Grade Event or the Secured Debt Ratio Event (but not both) shall continue, then the Notes shall bear interest at the Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate or the Secured Debt Ratio Adjusted Interest Rate, as applicable.

(e) As used herein, “Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate” means the interest rate per annum which is 1.00% above the stated rate of the Notes (or the Default Rate based on the stated interest rate for the Note, as the case may be). For the avoidance of doubt, the Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate shall not apply unless and until a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred.

-2-

(f) As used herein, “Secured Debt Ratio Adjusted Interest Rate” means the interest rate per annum which is 1.50% above the stated rate of the Notes (or the Default Rate based on the stated interest rate for the Note, as the case may be). For the avoidance of doubt, the Secured Debt Ratio Adjusted Interest Rate shall not apply unless and until a Secured Debt Ratio Event has occurred.

(g) As used herein, a “Below Investment Grade Event” shall occur if:

(i) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from only one Rating Agency, the then most recent Rating received from such Rating Agency that is in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade;

(ii) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from two Rating Agencies, the then lower of the most recent Ratings received from the Rating Agencies that are in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade; or

(iii) at any time the Company has obtained a Rating of the Notes from three or more Rating Agencies, the then second lowest of the most recent Ratings received from the Rating Agencies that is in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, if two or more of the most recent Ratings are equal or equivalent to the lowest such Rating, then one of such equal or equivalent Ratings will be deemed to be the second lowest Rating for purposes of such determination).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Below Investment Grade Event shall end immediately upon the delivery by the Company of one or more Ratings such that the foregoing conditions are no longer triggered. Upon the end of the Below Investment Grade Event, the applicable interest rate shall automatically return to the stated interest rate for the Notes (or the Default Rate based on the stated interest rate for the Notes, as the case may be).

(h) As used herein, a “Secured Debt Ratio Event” shall occur if at any time within the period specified in the chart below the Company’s Secured Debt Ratio exceeds the percentage set forth opposite such period below:

For the avoidance of doubt, the Secured Debt Ratio Event shall end immediately upon the Secured Debt Ratio (as evidenced by the receipt and delivery to the holders of the Notes of a certificate from a Senior Financial Officer of the Company certifying that such Secured Debt Ratio Event has been cured), within the period specified in the chart above, being less than or

-3-

equal to the percentage set forth opposite such period above (provided that the Secured Debt Ratio is in fact less than or equal to the applicable percentage). Upon the end of the Secured Debt Ratio Event, the applicable interest rate shall automatically return to the stated interest rate for the Notes or, if applicable, the Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate (or the Default Rate based on the applicable interest rate for the Notes, as the case may be).

(i) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Notes shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

The Company is a statutory trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified as a foreign statutory trust and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the statutory trust power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact (except where the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.

Each such Subsidiary Guarantor has the limited liability company or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) No Subsidiary Guarantor is subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 (as may be updated by the Company for each Closing pursuant to any supplement (including, if applicable, any Supplement) executed and delivered in connection with such Closing) and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary Guarantor to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any other Obligor that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any (A) indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary) is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary) or any of their respective properties may be bound or (B) the declaration of trust or by-laws of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary, in each case, except where any of the foregoing (other than clause (i)(B) above), individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1. Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments with Prepayment Settlement Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time, to the extent permitted by the last sentence of this Section 8.2, any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of

-26-

a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Prepayment Settlement Amount applicable to each Series or tranche of Notes determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid to such holder on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Prepayment Settlement Amount due to such holder in respect of each Note in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two (2) Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of the Prepayment Settlement Amount applicable to such holder of Notes as of the specified prepayment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contained in this Section to the contrary, if and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if such partial prepayment is on or after the Clean-Up Period Start Date (as defined in Section 8.6 below) for a Series or tranche of Notes, as applicable, the Company may partially prepay only such Series or tranche of Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.2 without the allocation of such prepayment among all the Notes at the time outstanding. Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may optionally prepay any Series or tranche of Notes without the allocation of such prepayment among all of the Notes at the time outstanding, if such prepayment is made after the Clean-Up Period Start Date for such Series or tranche.

Section 8.4. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of any Series or tranche of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Prepayment Settlement Amount, if any, or Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Prepayment Settlement Amount, if any, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire after the date of the first Closing hereunder, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of such Notes in accordance with this Agreement and such Notes or (b) pursuant to

-27-

an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes in any Series or tranche at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each applicable holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least ten (10) Business Days. If the holders of more than 25% of the principal amount of the Notes in such Series or tranche then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of Notes in such Series or tranche of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes in such Series or tranche of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least five (5) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel such Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate after the date of the first Closing hereunder pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of such Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Settlement Amount shall be owed in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 8.5(b) unless offered by the Company.

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount; Prepayment Settlement Amount.

“Prepayment Settlement Amount” means, with respect to any Series 2024A Note, an amount equal to the “Prepayment Settlement Amount”, as follows:

“Clean-Up Period Start Date” means, (i) with respect to any Series 2024A Note, September 7, 2028, and (ii) with respect to any Additional Notes, the date set forth as the Clean-Up Period Start Date applicable to such Note in the Supplement with respect thereto.

“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

-28-

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2^nd) Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second (2^nd) Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal of any Note, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months and calculated to two (2) decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

-29-

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on, or the Prepayment Settlement Amount on, any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.8. Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control. The Company will, within fifteen (15) Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes. Such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.8 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (e) of this Section 8.8.

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.8 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.8, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date”). Such date shall be not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such offer (if the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the first (1^st) Business Day after the forty-fifth (45^th) day after the date of such offer).

(c) Acceptance/Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by such holder of the most recent offer of prepayment. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be deemed to constitute rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to, but excluding, the date of prepayment, but without Make-Whole Amount, Prepayment Settlement Amount or other premium.

-30-

(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying: (i) the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.8; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid; (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to, but excluding, the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.8 have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date of the Change in Control.

(f) Definitions.

“Change in Control” means (a) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any Person or group (within the meaning of the Exchange Act as in effect on the date hereof) (other than the Investment Advisor, any of its Affiliates that are in the business of managing and advising clients or any Permitted Holder (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement)) of shares representing more than 35% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in the Company, (b) the occupation of a majority of the seats (other than vacant seats) on the board of trustees of the Company by Persons who were neither (i) nominated by the requisite members of the board of trustees of the Company nor (ii) appointed by a majority of the trustees so nominated, or (c) that the Investment Advisor ceases to be the investment advisor for the Company.

Section 9.2. Insurance.

Section 9.11. Most Favored Lender. (a) If a Specified Credit Facility shall include any MFL Financial Covenant or MFL Cure Right Provision and (i) such MFL Financial Covenant is not contained in this Agreement or (ii) such MFL Financial Covenant or MFL Cure Right Provision would be more beneficial to the holders of Notes than any analogous restriction, event of default, cure right or provision and related defined terms contained in this Agreement (any such restriction, event of default, cure right or provision and related defined terms, an “Additional Covenant”), then the Company shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice to the holders of Notes; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, the absence of an MFL Cure Right Provision in a Specified Credit Facility that has financial maintenance covenants that are the same as the financial maintenance covenants set forth in

Upon the request of the Company, the holders of Notes shall (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement requested by the Company evidencing the waiver, supplement, modification or amendment or deletion of any such Incorporated Covenant in accordance with the terms hereof.

Upon any Series or tranche of Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount, shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that any series or tranche of the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2. Holder Action. Each Purchaser and each holder of a Note agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any of the Notes (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any property of any Obligor, except as provided in Section 12.1(c), without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section 12.2 are for the sole benefit of the holders of the Notes and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, the Obligors.

-46-

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of one firm of outside counsel reasonably acceptable to each holder of the Notes for all of the holders of the Notes collectively incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12.

SECTION 13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Section 13.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a) Subject to clause (b) below, any registered holder of a Note or a Purchaser (an “Assigning Party”) may assign to one or more assignees (other than, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Competitor (unless expressly consented to by the Company in writing at its sole discretion)) (an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under its Note and/or under this Agreement.

(b) Any such assignment or transfer shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the Assigning Party shall deliver to the Company a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the Assigning Party or such Assigning Party’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof; provided, that in the event the Assigning Party shall assign or transfer to a Private Placement Agent which holds the Notes only in connection with its role as an intermediary in the prompt and expeditious sale in accordance with customary financial market conditions to another purchasing Institutional Investor, the Assigning Party may instruct such Private Placement Agent to direct the Assignee to provide the Company, in writing, the relevant name, address and other information for notices of such Assignee; (ii) the Assignee shall have made the representations set forth in Section 6 to the Company (other than Section 6.3(e) and Section 6.3(f)); (iii) an exemption from registration of the Notes under the Securities Act is available; and (iv) such transfer complies with Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 1, or attached to the applicable Supplement with respect to any Additional Notes. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes of a tranche, one Note of such tranche may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 6 (other than those set forth in Section 6.3(e) and Section 6.3(f)).

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same Series (and of the same tranche if such Series has separate tranches), dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or its nominee, such Person will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes of the same tranche pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser or Additional Purchaser under this Agreement or any Supplement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

Section 14.3. Tax Forms. Any holder that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Note shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any holder, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will enable the Company to determine whether or not such holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements (including FATCA). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any holder that is a United States Person shall deliver to the Company on or before the date on which such holder obtains a Note (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such holder is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Any holder that is a not United States Person shall deliver to the Company on or before the date on which such holder obtains a Note (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed copies of the applicable IRS Form W-8 and any documentation prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption (if any) from or a reduction (if any) in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. If a payment made to a holder under any Note would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such holder 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 holder shall deliver to the Company at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such holder has complied with such holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 14.3, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall not be liable to a Purchaser and an Additional Purchaser, or holder of a Note for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Subsidiary Guaranty or any Note asserted by a Purchaser and an Additional Purchaser, or a holder of a Note against the Company or any of its Affiliates.

Each Purchaser or Additional Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser and Additional Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its affiliates (who are not Competitors) and its and their respective directors, officers, employees (legal and contractual), agents, attorneys, trustees and partners (collectively, “Related Persons”) (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes) and such disclosure is made on a confidential basis, (ii) its auditors, financial advisors, investment advisors and other professional advisors and in the case of any Purchaser or holder that is a Related Fund, to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration and/or selection of the investment represented by such Related Fund’s Notes, to its investors and partners (in each case, who are not Competitors) and their Related Persons, in each case under this clause (ii) who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s or Additional Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s or Additional Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Subsidiary Guaranty. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 20.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through Intralinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21) or any Additional Purchaser in any Supplement, shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, as the case may be. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder or any Additional Purchaser in any Supplement and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, as the case may be, and such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.
