Technical Amendments Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.7, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.
Additional Amendments Each notice from the Lead Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Additional Commitment. Additional Commitments (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank, other financial institution or investing entity (any such bank, investing entity or other financial institution, an “Additional Lender”), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.17 or otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Additional Commitments unless it so agrees. Additional Commitments shall be included under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Additional Credit Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, pursuant to Section 2.17(b), executed by each Borrower that is a borrower with respect to such Additional Commitments as of the Additional Credit Closing Date (as defined below), each Lender agreeing to provide such Additional Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any (each such Lender or Additional Lender, an “Additional Committing Lender”), and the Administrative Agent. An Additional Credit Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17.
Term/Approval/Amendments 15.1. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to a Fund as of the date of commencement of operations of the Fund if approved by (i) the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of such party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval (or in another manner permitted by the 1940 Act or pursuant to exemptive relief therefrom); and (ii) the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund (to the extent required under the 1940 Act). It shall continue in effect with respect to the Fund for an initial period of two years thereafter, and may be renewed annually thereafter only so long as such renewal and continuance is specifically approved as required by the 1940 Act (currently, at least annually by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund and only if the terms and the renewal hereof have been approved by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, or in another manner permitted by the 1940 Act or pursuant to exemptive relief therefrom).
Credit Agreement Amendments The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
Required Amendments The Company and the Member will execute and file any amendment to the Articles required by the Act.

Refinancing Amendments In addition, notwithstanding Sections 10.5(a), (b) and (c), this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of any portion of the outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (ii) the Applicable Margin with respect to such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing plus 0.50% per annum, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Term Loans) and (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
Incremental Amendment Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment), under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments as determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments.
