The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its respective share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its ratable share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Loan Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share, as applicable, of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its ratable share of the requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable Loan Date, and the 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 Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 12.06(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 12.06(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 12.06(c).

(ii) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.01(a), (g) or (h)) has occurred and is continuing, then upon the election of the Required Lenders (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.05(a)), such amount shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate.

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Parties and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for SOFR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of Adjusted Term SOFR or Daily Compounded SOFR, as applicable, by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent will bill the Borrower Parties on behalf of all Lenders with respect to interest on SOFR Loans and Base Rate Loans.

2.07. Payment of Borrower Guaranties. In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower hereunder and to accept one or more Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, each Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, to disburse directly to the Lenders, with notice to the Borrowers, in Same Day Funds an amount equal to the amount due and owing under any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note or Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, costs, expenses and fees due to the Lenders pursuant thereto in the event the applicable Lender shall have not received the applicable payment when due. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of any disbursement made to the Lenders 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 the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.02(a), a Loan Notice with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely (absent manifest error) on the Lenders as to the amount due to the Lenders under any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note or Borrower Guaranty.

2.08. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely for the purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of the Borrower Parties, including, if and to the extent permitted under the Governing Agreements, to finance investment activities, to provide working capital and for other permitted purposes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to pay dividends or distributions on its outstanding equity interest). None of the Lenders and the Agents shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, and none of the Lenders and the Agents shall be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans are for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of such Borrower Party. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any conversion or continuation thereof, or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as to whether any Portfolio Investment or any other use of the proceeds of the Loans by the Borrower Parties is permitted by the terms of the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party.

2.09. Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3 and subject to Section 2.12(a)(iii), the Borrowers shall pay to (a) the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, or (b) if directed by the Administrative Agent at such times as there is only one (1) Lender, such Lender at its Lending Office, an unused commitment fee (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 month between (A) such Lender’s Commitment and (B) such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s outstanding Principal Obligation during such calendar month (the “Unused Commitment”), and (ii), (I) at any time that the aggregate Unused Commitment is less than or equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Maximum Commitment, forty basis points (0.40%) per annum, (II) at any time that the aggregate Unused Commitment is greater than thirty percent (30%) but less than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum Commitment, fifty basis points (0.50%) per annum and (III) at any time that the aggregate Unused Commitment exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum Commitment, one hundred basis points (1.00%) per annum. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the applicable Settlement Date of each month for the preceding calendar month. The Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Unused Commitment Fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

2.10. Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger fees in consideration of the administration of this Credit Agreement and arrangement of the Commitments, respectively, in Dollars, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and the Arranger, as applicable, in the applicable Fee Letter.

2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Alternative Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest for Daily Compounded SOFR Loans shall be computed as of any applicable date of determination on a daily basis based upon (x) the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of such date of determination plus (y) the accrued, unpaid interest on such Loan attributable to Daily Compounded SOFR (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, attributable to the Applicable Margin) as of the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan from and including the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that, any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.04, bear interest for one day.

2.12. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That 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 Section 12.01 and/or the definition of “Required Lenders”.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent, or to be paid, for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.02), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Credit Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any

judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower Parties as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or written settlement agreement) obtained by any Borrower Party against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if: (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro-rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.09 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower Parties shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (each in its sole discretion) agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the 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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro-rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Lender Percentage, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Defaulting Lender to a non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

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

(a) Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the Borrower Parties in part based upon the assurances by each Borrower Party that such Borrower Party desires that the obligations under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as separate obligations of such Borrower Party, should the Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

(b) Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for the Loans and the other Obligations, including indemnities, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans and the other Obligations against any one or more of the Borrowers.

(c) Separate Exercise of Remedies. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may exercise remedies against each Borrower Party and its property separately, whether or not the Administrative Agent exercises remedies against any other Borrower Party or its property. The Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Borrower Party’s obligations without enforcing any other Borrower Party’s obligations and vice versa. Any failure or inability of the Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Borrower Party’s obligations shall not in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of any other Borrower Party.

2.14. Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a) The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, at the request of the Borrowers from time to time, increase the Maximum Commitment to the amount requested by the Borrowers by: (x) admitting additional Lenders hereunder (each, a “Subsequent Lender”); or (y) increasing the Commitment of any Lender (each, an “Increasing Lender”); or both, subject to the following conditions and Section 2.14(b):

(i) The Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies of such notice to each Lender);

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

(iii) After giving effect to the increase in the Lenders’ Commitment, the Maximum Commitment will not exceed $50,000,000;

(iv) The increase in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Commitments shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000;

(v) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such increase in the Lenders’ Commitments;

(vi) As of the date of such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Section 7 shall be true and correct in all material respects, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date; except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to any earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date and except that for the purposes of this Section 2.14(a)(vi), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.07 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01;

(vii) (A) unless previously agreed in writing, each Increasing Lender to consent to such increase in writing; and (B) each Subsequent Lender to execute a joinder to this Credit Agreement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; and

(viii) The Borrowers shall pay the applicable Facility Increase Fee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything else in the foregoing: (i) no admission of any Subsequent Lender shall increase the Commitment of any existing Lender without such existing Lender’s consent; (ii) no Lender shall become an Increasing Lender without such Lender’s consent; and (iii) no increase will be permitted after Borrower has decreased the Maximum Commitment under Section 3.07.

2.15. Extension of Stated Maturity Date. The Borrowers shall have an option to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect for up to one (1) additional term, not longer than 364 days, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a) as of the date of the Extension Request referred to in clause (d) below and on the Stated Maturity Date before giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties contained in Section 7 shall be true and correct in all material respects, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date; except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to any earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date and except that for the purposes of this Section 2.15(a), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.07 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01;

(b) the Borrowers shall pay the applicable Facility Extension Fee;

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

(d) the Borrowers shall have delivered an Extension Request with respect to the then current Stated Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the then current Stated Maturity Date then in effect (which shall be promptly forwarded by the Administrative Agent to each Lender);

(e) the Stated Maturity Date specified in such Extension Request shall not exceed the date which is forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which the Borrower Parties’ (or the Managing Entities thereof, as applicable) ability to call Capital Commitments for the purpose of repaying the Obligations is terminated pursuant to any applicable Governing Agreement; and

(f) the Borrowers and their Managing Entities shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to each Borrower and Managing Entity that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, if so requested by the Administrative Agent prior to the effectiveness of any extension to the Stated Maturity Date.

3. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

3.01. Notes. Any Lender may request that the Loans to be made by such Lender to the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be evidenced by promissory notes. If so requested, the Notes shall: (a)(i) if payable to the Administrative Agent, collectively be in the amount of the Maximum Commitment or (ii) if payable to a Lender, be in the amount of aggregate Commitments of such Lender; (b)(i) except as provided in the penultimate sentence of this Section 3.01, be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or their registered assigns at the Administrative Agent’s Office or (ii) if requested at such times as there is only one (1) Lender, such Lender; (c) be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (d) be made by the appropriate Borrower Party. The Loans to be made by the Lenders to the Qualified Borrowers hereunder shall be evidenced by a promissory note of each such Qualified Borrower. Each Qualified Borrower Promissory Note shall (A) be in the amount of the Loans to be advanced to such Qualified Borrower; (B)(i) be payable to the order of the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or their registered assigns, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or (ii) if requested (at such times as there is only one (1) Lender), such Lender; (C) bear interest in accordance with Section 2.05; (D) be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (E) be duly executed by such Qualified Borrower. Each Borrower Party agrees, from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender, to reissue new Notes to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (in accordance with the next sentence and Section 12.11) in substitution for the Note previously issued by such Borrower Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower Party agrees, from time to time upon the request of any Lender, to issue a separate Note to such Lender in the amount of that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitments and, if necessary, issue a replacement Note to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, such that all Notes then outstanding collectively provide for the Maximum Commitment. Any issuance of a Note to a Lender shall be pursuant to this Section 3.01.

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

3.03. Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest. Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.05, 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 the Administrative Agent.

(b) Settlement Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations, including any interest payable on any Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 3.06, shall be due and payable: (i) in arrears on each Settlement Date (for the Interest Period ending on or about such date or the immediately preceding calendar month, as applicable) and on the Maturity Date, and (ii) at any time and from time to time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon demand by the 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.

3.04. Payments of Obligation.

(a) 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 the Lenders, or any one 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, all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be made to (i) the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars or (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent at such times as there is only one (1) Lender, directly to the applicable Lender at its Lending Office and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.

(b) With respect to payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, funds received after 1:00 p.m. may, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. Each Lender shall be entitled to receive its applicable share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to the appropriate Lender. 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.

(i) Funding by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of SOFR Loans (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 will not make available to the Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.04) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower Party a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and, if the applicable Lender fails to pay its amount upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, the applicable Borrower Party severally agree to pay to the 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 the Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the 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 applicable Collateral Accounts to make payment on demand by the Required Payment Time. If any Borrower Party and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower Party the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower Party for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower Party shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower Party may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

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

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

3.05. Mandatory Prepayment. If, on any day, the portion of the Principal Obligation attributable to the Borrowings by any Borrower exceeds (a) the Available Loan Amount (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event or changes in the Inclusion Percentage) applicable to such Borrower or (b) the maximum amount, if any, of indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Governing Agreement of such Borrower (each, a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”), then the applicable Borrower or Qualified Borrower shall pay such excess (the “Mandatory Prepayment Amount”) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in Same Day Funds by the Required Payment Time.

3.06. Voluntary Prepayments. Any Borrower Party may, upon delivery of a Repayment Notice to the 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) such Repayment Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.: (i) (x) in the case of any prepayment of SOFR Loans, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of such proposed prepayment or (y) if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Compounded SOFR, five (5) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of such proposed prepayment; and (ii) in the case of any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such Repayment Notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid (and each Repayment Notice submitted by a Qualified Borrower must be countersigned by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such Repayment Notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Lender Percentage of such prepayment. If such Repayment Notice is given by a Borrower Party, such Borrower Party shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such Repayment Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by (to the extent timely invoiced to the relevant Borrower) any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective share of the Type(s) of Loans to be repaid.

3.07. Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Loan Notice is outstanding, the Borrowers may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrowers in such notice); provided that: (a) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (b) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Principal Obligation would exceed the aggregate Commitments. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments. In no event may the Borrowers reduce the aggregate Commitments to $5,000,000 or less (other than by a termination of all the Commitments). Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Lender Percentages, unless each Lender shall agree otherwise. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same.

3.08. Lending Office. Each Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any SOFR Loan; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Base Rate Loan; and (c) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. In such event, such Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.04, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Lender shall, regardless of such Lender’s actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by the Borrower Parties for such Borrowing.

4. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

4.01. Taxes.

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

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

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

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

(i) The Borrower Parties shall, and do hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within the Required Payment Time after written 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 reasonable out-of-pocket 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 for such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.01(a) or (c), each Lender shall, and does hereby, agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within the Required Payment Time, (i) against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) (collectively, “Tax Damages”) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective) and (ii) Tax Damages attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register 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 the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.01(c). The agreements in this paragraph (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by a Borrower Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Borrower Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 4.01, such Borrower Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the 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 the 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 the Borrower Parties and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower Party or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation requested by the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payment to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law, by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction or reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.01(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 Lender’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.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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

(1) in the case of a Foreign Person 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 IRS Form W-8BEN or 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, IRS Form W-8BEN or 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 W-8EXP, or applicable successor form;

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Person 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 I-2 or Exhibit I-3 hereto, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 hereto on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Parties and the 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; and

(E) on or before the date ING (or any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver either (i) IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms) or (ii) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) (with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender) and IRS From W-8ECI (or any successor forms) (with respect to amounts received on its own account), with the effect that, in either case, any Borrower Party that is a U.S. Person will be entitled to make payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent without withholding or deduction on account of U.S. federal withholding Tax.

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 the Borrower Parties and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any other Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other 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 promptly 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 or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that, the Borrower Parties, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to any such Borrower Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such other Recipient in the event the Administrative Agent or such other Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower Parties pursuant to this subsection (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net position after-Taxes than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any other Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower Party or any other Person.

4.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to any Benchmark, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Benchmark, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in any relevant market, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Parties and the Administrative Agent: (a) any obligation of such Lender (x) to make SOFR Loans, (y) to continue SOFR Loans or (z) to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended; and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans, the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Daily Compounded SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternative Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternative Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender revokes such notice and advises the Administrative Agent (which promptly notifies the Borrower Parties) that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which it agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such conditions cease to exist). Upon receipt of such notice: (i) the applicable Borrower Party shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Loans are Adjusted Term SOFR Loans and such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or on the immediately succeeding Business Day, if such Loans are Daily Compounded SOFR Loans or such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Daily Compounded SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such

suspension compute the Alternative Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternative Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Daily Compounded SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower Parties shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

4.03. Inability to Determine Rates; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to clause (b) of this Section 4.03, if (x) prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Adjusted Term SOFR Loan or (y) at any time for any Daily Compounded SOFR Loan:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark for such Loan or (if applicable) such Interest Period; provided that, no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Benchmark for such Loan and (if applicable) such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Loan and, if applicable, such Interest Period;

then, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Parties and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Parties and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any obligation of such Lender (A) to make or continue SOFR Loans or (B) to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended, (ii) any requests the conversion of, or the continuation as, a SOFR Loan shall be ineffective and, in each case, unless prepaid, such Loan shall be continued as, or converted to, a Base Rate Loan and (iii) any request for a Borrowing of SOFR Loans shall be made as a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Furthermore, if any SOFR Loan, is outstanding on the date of the Borrower Parties’ receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 4.03(a) with respect to the Benchmark applicable to such Loan, then (I) in the case of an Adjusted Term SOFR Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan and (II) in the case of a Daily Compounded SOFR Loan, immediately, such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan on such day. If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Daily Compounded SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the applicable definition thereof, the Alternative Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternative Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower Parties shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, as applicable, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.05.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Setting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(i) Replacing the Benchmark.

(A) On the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and (y) an Early Opt-in Election, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(B) At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower Parties may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower Parties’ receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower Parties will be deemed to have converted any request for a Borrowing of SOFR Loans into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, (x) clause (c) of the definition of “Alternative Base Rate” will not be used in any determination of Alternative Base Rate and (y) any outstanding affected Adjusted Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, and any outstanding affected Daily Compounded SOFR Loan shall, immediately, at the Borrower Parties’ election prior to such day: (1) be prepaid by the Borrower Parties on such day or (2) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan on such date.

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

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Parties and the Lenders of (x) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (y) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.03(b), including any determination with respect to Conforming Changes, a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.03(b).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Adjusted Term SOFR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (y) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(v) Tax Matters. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any applicable requirements under proposed or final United States Treasury Regulations or other IRS guidance such that the use of an alternative rate of interest pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) shall not result in a deemed exchange of any Loan or Obligation under Section 1001 of the Internal Revenue Code.

4.04. Increased Costs Generally.

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

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

(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 Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the applicable Borrower Parties will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that, such compensation for additional costs incurred or reduction suffered by such Lender because of a Change in Law may only be requested by a Lender imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower Parties under credit facilities comparable to those provided for herein.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or liquidity, or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower Parties will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that, compensation for any such reduction suffered by such Lender or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s holding company because of a Change in Law may only be requested by a Lender imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower Parties under credit facilities comparable to those provided for herein.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender 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; provided, however, that no Lender shall be requested to disclose confidential or price sensitive information or any other information, to the extent prohibited by law. Such Borrower Party shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within the Required Payment Time after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, no Borrower Party shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Parties of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’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 (9)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

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

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Adjusted Term SOFR 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 Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Adjusted Term SOFR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower Party; or

(c) any assignment of an Adjusted Term SOFR Loan (or any Loan bearing interest at the Benchmark Replacement) 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 12.13;

including any loss or expense, either directly or indirectly, arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan (including funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no compensation shall be payable under this Section 4.05 with respect to any voluntary prepayment permitted pursuant to Section 3.06 to the extent such compensation resulting from such voluntary prepayment and otherwise payable to any individual Lender does not exceed $250.

4.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lender.

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

(b) Replacement of Lender. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04, or (ii) any Borrower Party is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, the Borrowers may, at their sole cost and effort, replace such Lender in accordance with Section 12.13; provided, however, that (i) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and (ii) such replacement would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04, as the case may be, in the future. No Lender shall claim compensation under Section 4.01, 4.03, 4.04 or 4.05 in a manner that is arbitrary, capricious, discriminatory or materially prejudicial to any Borrower Party as compared to borrowers to such Lender that such Lender determines, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, are similarly situated to such Borrower Party.

(c) Survival. All of the Borrower Parties’ obligations under Sections 4.01, 4.04 and 4.05 and this Section 4.06 shall survive termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

4.07. Prohibited Event.

(a) In the event a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that, subsequent to the Closing Date, such Lender or any of its Affiliates: (i) has become a fiduciary with respect to any ERISA Investor in connection with its investment in a Borrower or this transaction; or (ii) has acquired any discretionary authority or control with respect to any ERISA Investor’s investment in a Borrower, or renders any investment advice (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-21(c)) with respect to such investment, the parties hereto hereby agree that the event described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be deemed to have caused a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to the transactions described in this Credit Agreement, and the parties to this Credit Agreement shall reasonably cooperate with each other to correct such prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, any such correction shall prevent the Lenders from receiving any direct or indirect fees, loan repayments, or any other benefits from such ERISA Investor.

(c) If the Administrative Agent determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that any of the corrections described herein are insufficient to correct the prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the parties hereto shall also reasonably cooperate to replace such affected Lender.

5. SECURITY.

5.01. Liens and Security Interest. To secure performance by the Borrower Parties of the payment and performance of the Obligations: (a) each Borrower shall grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to its Collateral Accounts, including, but not limited to, any and all funds and financial assets (including all cash and Permitted Investments, but not including any Portfolio Investments) pursuant to each Assignment of Capital Contribution Account and each Account Control Agreement for such Collateral Accounts, in each case subject only to Permitted Liens; and (b) each Borrower and its respective Managing Entity, to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and Lien in and to the Capital Calls, Capital Commitments, and Capital Contributions under its Governing Agreement, including, without limitation, any rights to make Capital Calls, receive payment of Capital Contributions and enforce the payment thereof pursuant to a Security Agreement, and to enforce the payment thereof or any guarantees thereof now existing or hereafter arising, in each case subject only to Permitted Liens (the collateral in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.01 being (except as otherwise set forth below), collectively with the Collateral described in the Security Agreement delivered by the Aggregator Fund and the Aggregator Fund Managing Entity pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement, the “Collateral”). In order to secure further the payment and performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ right of setoff, each Borrower and its Managing Entity hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as subscription agent and attorney-in-fact entitled, in the name of such Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (but subject to Section 10.03), to make any Capital Calls upon such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Investors pursuant to (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreements and the applicable Governing Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is a continuing power and is coupled with an interest.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Collateral” shall not include (i) 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 non-exempt prohibited transaction for purposes of Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable Law, (ii) the Capital Commitments or any assets, interests, rights or obligations of the Prohibited Persons, if any, unless so elected by the Fund Parties in their discretion, (iii) any Portfolio Investments, and (iv) any funds properly withdrawn from a Collateral Account (or that could be withdrawn pursuant to the Credit Agreement if deposited or credited to a Collateral Account) or any account of the Aggregator Fund (or that could be withdrawn pursuant to the Credit Agreement if deposited or credited to such a capital contribution account) to the extent used, pursuant to the terms of the related Governing Agreements, to purchase Portfolio Investments (other than Permitted Investments deposited in or credited to such account), to make payments to the Investors in accordance with the terms hereof or for any other purpose permitted under the Governing Agreements and this Credit Agreement, and the proceeds of such withdrawn funds; provided, however, the Administrative Agent may issue Capital Calls on all Investors (including all Prohibited Persons) in exercising remedies under Section 10.02 or any other Loan Document and to the extent necessary to comply with pro rata drawdown requirements set forth in the applicable Governing Agreement.

5.02. Collateral Accounts.

(a) Collateral Accounts and Capital Contributions. Each Borrower shall require that all Investors in such Borrower fund or cause to be funded to the Capital Contribution Account of the applicable Borrower all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any such Investor as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to the Capital Call Notices (or, if a Borrower receives such payments directly, to deposit such Capital Contributions promptly into the Capital Contribution Account of the applicable Borrower).

(b) No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to Capital Calls. None of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of a Borrower or take any other action with respect to any other matter which might arise in connection with such Constituent Documents, 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 a Fund 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.

(c) Use of Account. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Borrower may withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts at any time or from time to time, so long as at the time of such withdrawal or disbursement and after giving effect thereto: (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) no Default under Section 10.01(a), 10.01(g) or 10.01(h) exists; (iii) no Responsible Officer of a Borrower Party is aware (including by way of notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender) any other Default exists; and (iv) no Mandatory Prepayment Event exists (unless, with respect to this clause (iv) only, after giving effect to such withdrawal, sufficient funds remain on deposit therein or credited thereto to satisfy the Borrowers’ payment obligation with respect to such Mandatory Prepayment Event) (any event set forth in the foregoing clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), a “Cash Control Event”). Any withdrawal from a Collateral Account by a Borrower shall be deemed a representation and warranty that the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) have been satisfied.

9.01. Mergers; Dissolution. No Fund Party will merge or consolidate with or into any Person, unless such Fund Party is the surviving entity, nor shall any Managing Entity merge or consolidate with or into any Person that is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, unless such Managing Entity is the surviving entity; provided, however, that if any such merger involves two or more Fund Parties and/or any Managing Entity, such merger shall not be consummated without prior confirmation from the Administrative Agent that its Liens in the Collateral, after giving effect to such merger, have been preserved, or receipt by the Administrative Agent of documentation it reasonably requires to so preserve such Liens. Neither any Fund Party nor any Managing Entity will take any action to dissolve, terminate, wind up, liquidate, merge or consolidate such Fund Party or such Managing Entity, including any action to sell or dispose of in a single transaction or series of related transactions all or substantially all of the property of such Fund Party or such Managing Entity.

For the avoidance of doubt, Portfolio Investments are not part of the Collateral, and the Fund Parties are not restricted hereby from granting Liens thereon.

9.03. Fiscal Year and Accounting Method. Without the prior notice to the Administrative Agent, no Borrower Party will change its fiscal year or change in any material respect its method of accounting other than in accordance with the terms of the applicable Governing Agreement.

With respect to any proposed amendment, modification or change to any Constituent Document (including, for avoidance of doubt, pursuant to any Side Letter), the applicable Fund shall notify the Administrative Agent of such proposal prior to the entry into such amendment, modification or change. The Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such proposed amendment, modification or change to such Constituent Document is a material amendment, and shall notify the applicable Fund of its determination within five (5) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification pursuant to Section 12.07. If the Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is a material amendment, the approval of the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent, in their reasonable discretion, will be required (unless the approval of all Lenders is required consistent with the terms of Section 12.01), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request for such approval, distributing, as appropriate, the proposed amendment and any other relevant information provided by the applicable Fund, and the Lenders shall be required to respond to such requests within five (5) Business Days of such notice. If the Administrative Agent

determines that the proposed amendment is not a material amendment, the applicable Fund may make such amendment without the consent of the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, the applicable Fund may amend its Constituent Documents: (i) to admit new Investors and subject to Sections 9.05 and 9.06, allow Investors to withdraw or reduce or terminate their interests in or Capital Commitments to such Fund to the extent otherwise permitted by this Credit Agreement; and (ii) to reflect transfers of interests of Investors otherwise permitted by this Credit Agreement.

No Borrower shall permit the Transfer of the Ownership Interest of its Investors without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, acting alone, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) Replacement Actions. An existing Included Investor or PWM Investor may (i) be replaced by a new or existing PWM Investor or Institutional Investor (provided that, with respect to any such replacement, the aggregate Capital Commitments shall not decrease as a result thereof) or (ii) transfer a portion of its Capital Commitment to a new or existing PWM Investor or Institutional Investor (such action as described in clause (i) or (ii), a “Replacement Action”); provided, however, that (A) the Transfer of Capital Commitments of a PWM Investor to another PWM Investor shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) solely with respect to the Transfer of Capital Commitments in an aggregate amount (taken together with all other Capital Commitments transferred or allocated pursuant to this clause (b)(ii)(B) on or prior to any date of determination) not in excess of ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Capital Commitments outstanding on such date of determination, the Transfer of the Capital Commitment of an Institutional Investor to another Institutional Investor shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders unless, in each case, a Mandatory Prepayment Event would exist after giving effect to such Transfer.

(i) Other than with respect to a Replacement Action (so long as the representation set forth in Section 7.26 is true and correct (after giving effect to such Replacement Action)), no Fund shall admit any additional Institutional Investor without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, acting alone, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) So long as at the time of admission the representations and warranties in Section 7.26 are true and correct, any Fund may admit any additional PWM Investor without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and, upon the delivery to the Escrow Agent of the Subscription Agreement of such PWM Investor containing on a confidential basis contact information for such PWM Investor and the certification by the Escrow Agent to the Administrative Agent, in a manner reasonably acceptable thereto, that it has custody of such documentation, the Capital Commitments of such PWM Investor shall be included in the applicable Borrower’s Borrowing Base; provided that, any PWM Investor that has entered into a Side Letter with such Fund (other than any PWM Investor being admitted in connection with a Replacement Action) shall require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, acting alone, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prior to being admitted to such Fund.

(d) Documentation Requirements.

(i) With respect to any Replacement Action with an Institutional Investor transferee, the Subscription Agreement (or, if applicable, supplement thereto, transfer agreement or other confirmation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent signed by such Institutional Investor evidencing its increased Capital Commitment) of the applicable Institutional Investor(s) and all related transfer documentation shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent (together with, as applicable, any Side Letter of such Institutional Investor) within twenty (20) days of the effective date of such Replacement Action (the “Institutional Investor Delivery Requirement”). During such twenty (20) day period, the applicable Fund shall provide information available to it (which is not prohibited to be disclosed pursuant to confidentiality obligations), and the Administrative Agent and each Lender will promptly determine whether or not such Institutional Investor (and all or a portion of its Capital Commitment) is an Included Investor in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Included Investor” (which shall be subject to, among other things, specific credit approval) (a “Final Inclusion Determination”).

(ii) With respect to a Replacement Action with a PWM Investor transferee, the Subscription Agreement (or, if applicable, supplement thereto, transfer agreement or other confirmation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent signed by such PWM Investor evidencing its increased Capital Commitment) of the applicable PWM Investor(s) containing on a confidential basis contact information for such PWM Investor and all related transfer documentation evidencing such Replacement Action (together with, if applicable, any Side Letter of such PWM Investor) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent within twenty (20) days of the effective date of such Replacement Action and the Escrow Agent shall certify to the Administrative Agent, in a manner reasonably acceptable thereto, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such Replacement Action, that it has custody of such documentation (with respect to any such Replacement Action, the “PWM 20/30 Delivery Requirement”); provided that, such PWM Investor transferee shall automatically be included in the applicable Borrower’s Borrowing Base during such thirty (30) day period with respect to the transferred Capital Commitment.

(iii) Subject to clauses (i) and (ii) above which shall govern with respect to Transfers and Replacement Actions, no Fund shall approve, permit or otherwise give effect to any Person becoming a substitute or new Investor (whether due to a transfer by an existing Investor or otherwise) (a “Subsequent Investor”) without first providing to the Administrative Agent such documentation described in Section 6.01(m) and, if applicable, all related transfer documentation (for the avoidance of doubt, admission of such Person as an Included Investor or PWM Investor shall be conditioned upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such documentation except as otherwise provided with respect to a Replacement Action).

(iv) In the event any Person is admitted as an additional or substitute Investor to any Fund, the applicable Fund will promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate, containing the names of each Included Investor, the identity of each PWM Investor by number only and the Capital Commitments of each Investor.

(e) Funding Requirements. Prior to the effectiveness of any Transfer by an Investor to any Fund or any cancellation, suspension, reduction, excuse, reallocation, deferral or abatement relating to funding of Capital Commitments as permitted by and described in Section 9.06, the Borrowers shall calculate whether, taking into account the Capital Commitments of the Investors as if such Transfer or other event permitted pursuant to Section 9.06 had occurred, the Transfer or other event permitted pursuant to Section 9.06 would cause a Mandatory Prepayment Event, and the Funds and their Managing Entities, as applicable, shall make Capital Calls if and to the extent necessary to pay and shall pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Amount prior to permitting such event.

9.06. Capital Commitments. No Fund nor any Managing Entity shall: (a) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Lenders, cancel, suspend, reduce, excuse, reallocate, defer or ▇▇▇▇▇ the Capital Commitment of any Investor (except in the case of (x) the release of the Capital Commitment of transferors of interests in such Fund in connection with transfers between Investors permitted (or consented to) under this Credit Agreement, or (y) one or more Investors with aggregate Capital Commitments not to exceed three percent (3%) of the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Investors; provided that, an updated Borrowing Base Certificate is provided prior to such action and compliance with the requirements applicable to any resulting Mandatory Prepayment Event); and (b) without the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and all Lenders: (i) issue any Capital Call Notices other than as contemplated by Section 8.01(h); and (ii) excuse any Investor from or permit any Investor to defer any Capital Contribution, if the proceeds from the related Capital Call Notice are to be applied to the Obligations hereunder. No Investor is permitted to withdraw its interest in a Fund except in accordance with the terms of the applicable Governing Agreement.

9.07. ERISA Compliance. No Fund Party shall establish or maintain any Plan. Without the approval of all Lenders, no Fund Party will take any action that would cause its underlying assets to otherwise constitute the assets of an ERISA Investor or Governmental Plan Investor.

(a) No Borrower Party shall declare or pay any dividends or distributions on its outstanding equity interests except as permitted under its Constituent Documents; and

(b) To the extent there are any Obligations outstanding, no Borrower Party shall declare or pay any dividends or distributions on its outstanding equity interests if: (i) any Event of Default exists; (ii) a Responsible Officer thereof is aware that a Default exists under Section 10.01(a), 10.01(g) or 10.01(h); or (iii) a Mandatory Prepayment Event exists or results therefrom; provided that, from and after the date on which any Borrower Party qualifies as a RIC, (x) such Borrower Party may declare and pay dividends and distributions in either case in cash or other property in or with respect to any taxable year of such Borrower Party (or any calendar year, as relevant) in amounts not to exceed the higher of the amount that is estimated by such Borrower Party in good faith to be required by such Borrower Party to be distributed to: (i) allow such Borrower Party to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements imposed by Section 852(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor thereto) to maintain its eligibility to be taxed as a RIC for any such taxable year, (ii) reduce to zero (0) for any such taxable year its liability for federal income taxes imposed on, (y) its investment company taxable income pursuant to Section 852(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor thereto) or (z) its net capital gain pursuant to Section 852(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor thereto), and (iii) reduce to zero (0) its liability for federal excise taxes for any such calendar year imposed pursuant to Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor thereto).

9.09. Limitation on Debt. (a) No Fund shall incur any Indebtedness (including the Obligations) in excess of the limitations on Indebtedness contained in its Governing Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date (or as amended in accordance with Section 9.04) (without the approval of the applicable advisory committee described therein); (b) no Fund Party shall otherwise incur any Indebtedness to the extent it would violate its respective Constituent Documents; and (c) except as permitted in Section 9.02, no Fund Party may incur any Indebtedness secured by the Collateral.

9.11. Sanctions. No Fund Party will, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Loans, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is a Designated Jurisdiction, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in such Fund Party or any Lender being in breach of any Sanctions or becoming a Sanctioned Person.

9.12. Reinvestments. No Fund shall reinvest current cash flow from Portfolio Investments and/or net proceeds from Portfolio Investment dispositions into another Portfolio Investment (other than cash or cash equivalents) if such reinvestment would reduce the Unfunded Commitment of any Investor and cause a Mandatory Prepayment Event, unless with respect to this Section 9.12, prior to such reinvestment, the Borrowers shall make any prepayment required as a result of a resulting Mandatory Prepayment Event.

contemplated in Section 10.03; (e) subject to Section 10.03, exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth in the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the initiation of Capital Call Notices of the Capital Commitments (except to the extent a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA would result therefrom); (f) subject to Section 10.03, notify any or all parties obligated to a Borrower with respect to the Capital Commitments to make all payments due or to become due thereon to the Collateral Accounts or directly to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, at a different account number; or (g) subject to Section 10.03, without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s or the other Secured Parties’ rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable Law or agreement (except to the extent a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA would result therefrom); provided, however, that if any Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h) shall occur, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower Party hereby expressly waives.

10.03. Curing an Event of Default by Investor Capital Call; Loan Limits to Liability.

Subject to Section 10.06:

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that can be cured by the making of Capital Calls, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party may exercise any 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 the Administrative Agent shall have given the Fund Parties five (5) 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 the Fund 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 five (5) Business Day notice period, the Fund Parties shall make a Capital Call on the Unfunded Commitments of the Investors sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Accounts) to cure each such Event of Default, then the 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 five (5) Business Day notice period; provided that, nothing in this Section 10.03(a) shall prohibit the Administrative Agent, any Lender or other Secured Party asserting exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts or taking any such actions as may be required to protect their rights in a bankruptcy proceeding; provided, however, that to the extent that (A) the Fund Parties do not make such Capital Call or (B) the application of the proceeds of any such Capital Call are not sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Accounts) to cure such Event of Default, then, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Fund Parties shall, if they did not originally issue a Capital Call, issue a Capital Call in an amount sufficient (together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Accounts) to repay the Obligations.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender and any other Secured Party shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) issue Capital Calls to any Investor or take any action against any Investor to enforce its rights under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (ii) issue the Administrative Agent Release Notice (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) or (iii) institute legal, equitable or other proceedings against any Fund Party, any Investor, or any Affiliate thereof the purpose of which is to prevent the Fund Parties from curing the applicable Event of Default (by issuing funding notices or otherwise) as contemplated by this Section 10.03(b), unless (x) the Administrative Agent shall have given the Fund Parties five (5) Business Days’ written notice of its intention to exercise such remedies and (y) at any time prior to or during such five (5) Business Day notice period, either (A) the Fund Parties shall not have made a Capital Call on the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreements and this Credit Agreement, sufficient, together with amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Accounts, to repay the outstanding Obligations in full (a “Full Repayment Capital Call”), or (B) the Fund Parties shall have made a Full Repayment Capital Call, but shall not have repaid all the outstanding Obligations on or prior to the expiration of the period ending fifteen (15) Business Days from the end of the initial five (5) Business Days’ notice period.

(c) In the event that the Administrative Agent elects to notify the Investors to make Capital Contributions in respect of their Unfunded Commitments, then the 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 the applicable Managing Entity or the Administrative Agent) to each Investor for its pro-rata share of the Obligations and waiting thirty (30) calendar days following such Capital Call prior to initiating further remedies.

(d) None of the 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 Capital Call Notices in the name of any Fund Party or any Managing Entity or (ii) applying funds paid by such ERISA Investor or Plan into the applicable Capital Contribution Accounts (which shall remain in the name of the related Fund) to the payment of the Obligations), under the applicable Governing Agreement or Subscription Agreement, as applicable, to the extent it has knowledge that a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code) would arise therefrom.

10.04. Performance by Administrative Agent. Should any Fund Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, the 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 the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount expended by the Administrative Agent in

such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent at the 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 Agent 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 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 Agent or Secured Parties be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Borrower Party or any related Person.

10.05. Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 10.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 10.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

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

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

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

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

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

10.06. Limitation on Remedies against Aggregator Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 10) or any of the other Loan Documents, at any time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) no Secured Party shall be permitted to exercise any remedy under any Aggregator Fund Loan Document (or otherwise whether at law or in equity against the Aggregator Fund or any Investor therein) unless such Secured Party has first exercised remedies under, and in accordance with the terms of, the other Loan Documents and such Event of Default is still continuing, and (b) prior to the time on which the Obligations have become immediately due and payable as set forth in Section 10.02, no Secured Party shall be permitted to exercise any remedy under any Aggregator Fund Loan Document (or otherwise whether at law or in equity against the Aggregator Fund or any Investor therein) unless such Event of Default can be cured by the making of Capital Calls (in which case such Secured Party shall be required to comply with the terms of Section 10.03 with respect to such Event of Default).

11. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

11.01. Appointment 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) hereby irrevocably appoints each Agent to act on its behalf hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent 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. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders and no Fund Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of (or obligations under) such provisions.

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

11.03. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

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

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

(c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Fund Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

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 as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.02 and 12.01); or (ii) in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent (or any Related Parties of such Agent), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable 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 the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless and until notice describing the same is given to such Agent by the Borrowers or a Lender.

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, notice or financial statement; (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 Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than, in the case of the Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to it.

11.04. Reliance by Agent. Each Agent 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, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Fund Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

11.05. Delegation 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 subagents 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 11.05 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 a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

11.06. Resignation of Agent. Any Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower Parties. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and except that consent of the Borrowers shall not be required during the continuance of any Event of Default), 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, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that, if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Parties and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and: (a) the retiring 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 Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed); and (b) 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 directly, until such time as the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 11.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring 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 11.06). The fees payable by the Borrower Parties to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower Parties and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 11.06 and Section 12.06 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 the Administrative Agent.

11.07. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender 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 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.

11.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger or other titled parties listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or a Lender hereunder.

11.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Fund Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Fund Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Secured Parties under Sections 2.09 and 2.10 and otherwise hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

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

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

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

11.10. Collateral Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.09, the Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations); (b) that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of or to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (c) subject to Section 12.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the other Secured Parties will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 11.10.

11.11. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 11.11 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the applicable Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns) hereby agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Credit Agreement or in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

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

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.11(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.11(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 11.11(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

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

(d) The Initial Borrower and each other Fund Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) subject to clause (f) below, an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Initial Borrower or any other Fund Party.

(e) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time (then effective immediately) (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower Parties) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment), and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower Parties

100

or the Administrative Agent, (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Credit Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Credit Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (E) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.

(ii) Subject to Section 12.11 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower Parties or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall, be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

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

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient may assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

101

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.01. Amendments. Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Loan Document to which any Borrower Party or Managing Entity is a party, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated (other than in accordance with its terms), unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (and the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of the Required Lenders), on the one hand, and such Borrower Party or Managing Entity, on the other hand; provided that, if this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically provides that the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated with the approval of the Administrative Agent, acting alone, each Lender directly affected thereby, the Super Majority Lenders or all Lenders, then such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination must be signed by the Administrative Agent, each Lender directly affected thereby, the Super Majority Lenders or all Lenders (together with the Administrative Agent), as applicable, on the one hand, and such Borrower or Managing Entity, on the other hand; provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and:

(a) each Lender directly affected thereby:

(i) reduce or increase the amount or alter the term of the Commitment of such Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 10.02), or alter the provisions relating to any fees (or any other payments) payable to such Lender (other than a reduction by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.07);

(ii) extend the time for payment for the principal of or interest on the Obligations, or fees, or reduce the principal amount of the Obligations (except as a result of the application of payments or prepayments), or reduce the rate of interest borne by the Obligations (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of the Default Rate), or otherwise affect the terms of payment of the principal of or any interest on the Obligations or fees hereunder; or

(iii) release all or substantially all liens granted under the Collateral Documents, except as otherwise contemplated herein or therein, and except in connection with the transfer of interests in a Borrower permitted hereunder; and

(b) the Super Majority Lenders:

(i) except as provided in Section 9.05 or 9.06, permit the cancellation, excuse or reduction of the Capital Commitment of any Included Investor;

102

(ii) amend the definition of “Available Loan Amount” or (for purposes of such definition) any of the related defined terms;

(iii) amend the definition of “Borrowing Base” or (for purposes of such definition) any of the related defined terms;

(iv) amend the definition of “Exclusion Event” or (for purposes of such definition) any of the related defined terms; or

(v) amend the definition of “Included Investor”, “PWM Investor” or (for purposes of such definition) any of the related defined terms;

(i) reduce the percentages specified in the definition of “Required Lenders”, in the definition of “Super Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of the Lenders which are required to amend, waive or modify any rights hereunder or otherwise make any determination or grant any consent hereunder;

(ii) amend, waive, or in any way modify or suspend any provision requiring the pro-rata application of payments of the Obligations to the Lenders;

(iii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower Party or Managing Entity of any of its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Loan Documents (other than pursuant to a merger or consolidation not prohibited under Section 9.01);

(iv) amend the terms of this Section 12.01; or

(v) amend the order of payment in Section 10.05; and

(d) the Aggregator Fund to the extent directly applicable thereto or directly affected thereby.

Notwithstanding the above: (A) no provisions of Section 11 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent; and (B) Sections 8 and 9 specify the requirements for waivers of the affirmative covenants and negative covenants listed therein, and, as applicable, any amendment to any provision of Section 8 or 9 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that are specified therein as required for a waiver thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender; and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

103

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; and (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow each Lender directly affected thereby to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. The Administrative Agent may, after consultation with the Borrowers, agree to the modification of any term of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to correct any printing, stenographic or clerical errors or omissions that are inconsistent with the terms hereof.

The Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly notify each Lender of any proposed modification, waiver or amendment to any Loan Document, and deliver drafts of such proposed modification, waiver or amendment to each Lender, prior to the effectiveness of such proposed modification, waiver or amendment, but failure to provide such notice (other than in order to obtain the necessary consents required above) shall not be a condition to the effectiveness of any such modification, waiver or amendment.

12.02. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time (but subject to Section 10.03), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower Party may be owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff: (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section 12.02 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

104

(a) such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact; and

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

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section 12.03 shall not be construed to apply to: (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender); or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to a Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section 12.03 shall apply).

Each Borrower Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower Party in the amount of such participation.

12.04. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any Borrower Party makes a payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.

105

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.01 for the benefit of all Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit: (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.02 (subject to the terms of Sections 10.03 and 12.03); or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower Party under any Debtor Relief Law; provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; then: (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.01; and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 11.03, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

12.06. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay: (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and reasonably documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and of any necessary special and/or local counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); (ii) all fees and expenses charged by the Rating Agencies in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, fees and expenses incurred in connection with seeking an explicit rating of the Loans, regardless of whether or not such explicit rating is able to be issued; (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, plus one law firm in each relevant foreign jurisdiction), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 12.06; or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or reorganization in respect of such Loans; and (iv) in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by the Security Agreements and the other Loan Documents.

106

(b) Indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonably documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all Indemnitees, plus one law firm in each relevant foreign jurisdiction) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any other Borrower Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of: (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds; (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower Parties or any of their Subsidiaries; or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower or any other Borrower Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses: (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or the Related Parties of such Indemnitee); (B) result from a claim brought by a Borrower or any other Borrower Party against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or Borrower Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (C) to the extent resulting from any dispute among Indemnitees (or their Related Parties) and not involving any act or omission by any Borrower Party; provided that, the Administrative Agent to the extent fulfilling its role as an agent under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in its capacity as such, shall remain indemnified. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.06(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 12.06 to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Lender Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are several.

107

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (the foregoing “Consequential Damages”) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this sentence shall waive any indemnification provided to the Indemnitees referred to in subsection (b) above resulting from claims made by any Person not party hereto. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 12.06 shall be payable by the Required Payment Time.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 12.06 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

12.07. Notices.

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

(i) If to any Borrower Party, any Managing Entity, the Aggregator Fund, the Aggregator Fund Managing Entity or the Administrative Agent, at its notice address and numbers set forth on Schedule 12.07 hereto (as such Schedule may be updated by any Borrower Party or any Managing Entity from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent). If to any Lender, in care of the Administrative Agent, at its notice address and numbers set forth on Schedule

108

12.07 hereto (as such Schedule may be revised when and if the Lenders are added or deleted). Each Lender agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent a written notice stating such Person’s address, facsimile number, telephone number, email address and the name of a contact person, and the Administrative Agent may rely on such written notice unless and until such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ provides the Administrative Agent with a written notice designating a different address, facsimile number, telephone number or contact person.

(ii) Any party hereto may change its address for purposes of this Credit Agreement by giving notice of such change to the other parties pursuant to this Section 12.07. With respect to any notice received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower Party or any Investor not otherwise addressed herein, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly of the receipt of such notice and shall provide copies thereof to the Lenders. When determining the prior days’ notice required for any Loan Notice or other notice to be provided by a Borrower Party or an Investor hereunder, the day the notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such other applicable Person) shall not be counted but the day of the related Borrowing or other relevant action shall be counted.

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

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

109

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

12.08. Governing Law. Pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, the substantive laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to the choice of law principles that might otherwise apply (except to the extent the laws of another jurisdiction govern the creation, perfection, validity, or enforcement of Liens under the Collateral Documents), and the applicable federal laws of the United States of America, shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Credit Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents.

12.09. Choice of Forum; Consent to Service of Process and Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

NOTHING IN THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST SUCH PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(b) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 12.09(a).

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL WRITS, PROCESS AND SUMMONSES IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK MAY BE MADE BY DELIVERING A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO THE RELEVANT PARTY TO THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.07 WITH RESPECT THERETO.

(d) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.09(d).

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

111

12.11. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) by way of assignment in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 12.11; (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) of this Section 12.11; or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (g) of this Section 12.11 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (e) of this Section 12.11, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) In any case not described in subclause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Assignee (or to an Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

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

112

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except as set forth in the definition of “Eligible Assignee”.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption and all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act, together with the Administrative Agent’s customary processing and recordation fee; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made: (A) to a Borrower Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower Party; (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); (C) to a natural person; (D) to any Person that is not a Qualified Purchaser; or (E) to any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee.

(vi) Borrower Requested Assignments. Each assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers under Section 12.13 shall be arranged by the Borrowers after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Credit Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another assignment or assignments that together constitute an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender.

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

113

(c) Effect of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 12.11, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 4.01, 4.04, 4.05 and 12.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, each applicable Borrower Party (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender, and the applicable existing Note or Notes shall be returned to the applicable Borrower Party. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (e) of this Section 12.11.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower Parties, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in an electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and any Participants of which the Administrative Agent becomes aware, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each applicable Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Parties and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The parties hereto intend that the Loans be in “registered form” for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 5f.103-1(c), 1.871-14(c) and Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (or, in each case, any amended or successor version).

114

(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), sell participations to any Person that is a Qualified Purchaser (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, or a Borrower Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) each Borrower Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.06(e) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 12.01(a), Section 12.01(c)(i) or Section 12.01(c)(iii), in each case, that directly affects such Participant. Subject to clause (f) of this Section 12.11, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.04, 4.05 and 12.06 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12.11; provided that, such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.06(a) and (b) as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12.11. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of the right of setoff under applicable Law as though it were a Lender; provided that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 12.02 and 12.03 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version) and Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.01, 4.04, or 4.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date such Participant acquired its participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.01 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower Parties, to comply with Section 4.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

115

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

(h) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.12. Reserved.

12.13. Replacement of Lender. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04, (ii) any Borrower Party is required (or is likely to be required) to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, (iii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 4.03, (iv) any Lender does not provide any consent requested by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 12.01, or (v) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (in any such case, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort:

(a) by notice to the applicable Lender and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender to this Credit Agreement with an Eligible Assignee procured by the Borrowers; provided that, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; provided, further, that concurrently with such replacement, such Eligible Assignee shall agree to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of each Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date; or

(b) by notice to each Lender, and with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), elect to replace the Affected Lender with a Lender procured by the Borrowers; provided that, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; provided, further, that concurrently with such replacement the Lenders in such replacement Lender shall agree to purchase for cash

116

the Loans and other Obligations due to each Lender in the Affected Lender and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of each Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date. Each Affected Lender shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of Section 12.11;

provided that, (i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent its customary processing and recordation fee; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

12.14. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, a Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that a Lender ever receive, collect or apply as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the applicable Borrower Party. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, each Borrower Party and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, the applicable Lender shall refund to the applicable Borrower Party the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, the Lenders shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then the Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.

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

117

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

12.17. Limited Liability of Investors. Except with respect to any expenses and direct or actual losses (as opposed to Consequential Damages) arising from any Managing Entity’s intentional misrepresentation hereunder, fraud, bad faith or willful misapplication of proceeds in contravention of this Credit Agreement, for which there shall be full recourse to such Managing Entity, none of the Investors shall have any personal, partnership, corporate or trust liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section 12.17 or in any of the other provisions of the Loan Documents, or other reports, financial statements, notices or certificates delivered in connection herewith and therewith, shall be construed to limit, restrict, or impede the obligations, the liabilities, and indebtedness of any Borrower Party, or of any Investor to make its Capital Contributions to a Borrower in accordance with the terms of the applicable Governing Agreement, its Subscription Agreement and/or Side Letter. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.17, the payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to the Borrower Parties and their respective properties and assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the obligations of each of the Aggregator Fund, each Investor in the Aggregator Fund and the Aggregator Fund Managing Entity under the Loan Documents is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Initial Borrower Limited Liability Company Agreement (in the case of the Aggregator Fund) and the Aggregator Fund Governing Agreement (in the case of the Investors in the Aggregator Fund), and under no circumstances shall the Aggregator Fund, the Aggregator Fund Managing Entity, or any Investor in the Aggregator Fund at any time have any liability in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in an amount in excess of that required, as of such time, under the terms and conditions of the Initial Borrower Limited Liability Company Agreement (in the case of the Aggregator Fund and its Managing Entity) and the Aggregator Fund Governing Agreement (in the case of the Investors in the Aggregator Fund). Notwithstanding any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any payment obligation (including, without limitation, any indemnity obligations) of the Aggregator Fund hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be an obligation of the Aggregator Fund only, limited to the assets of the Aggregator Fund, and no Managing Entity of the Aggregator Fund shall have any liability therefor (including by reason of being a general partner of the Aggregator Fund).

12.18. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors in each case on a reasonable need to know basis (it being understood that (x) the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and (y) the disclosing Person shall be responsible for the compliance by the foregoing Persons with this Section 12.18); (b) to the extent requested

118

by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Credit Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.18 or an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section 12.18, to: (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement; or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction or other transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower Parties; (g) on a confidential basis to: (i) any Rating Agency in connection with a rating of Fund Parties, the credit facility provided hereunder; or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facility provided hereunder; (h) with the consent of the applicable Fund Party; (i) to the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.18; or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Fund Party or another Lender; or (j) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or Rating Agency. For the purposes of this Section 12.18, “Information” means all information received from any Fund Party relating to any Fund Party, its Investors or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person; provided that, in the case of information received from any Fund Party after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.18 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Any Secured Party may disclose the existence of and information with respect to this Credit Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to such Secured Party in connection with the administration of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

12.19. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower Party in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly return the amount of any excess to such Borrower Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

119

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

12.21. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrowers and each other Borrower Party acknowledge and agree that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and each other Borrower Party, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, on the other hand; (ii) the Borrowers and each other Borrower Party have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) the Borrowers and each other Borrower Party are capable of evaluating, and understands and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) each of the Administrative Agent and the Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower or any other Borrower Party, or any other Person; and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to any Borrower or any other Borrower Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of any Borrower or any other Borrower Party and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower or any other Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrowers and each other Borrower Party hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent or the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
