- 44 -

the interest rate on Term SOFR Loans and Alternate Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) is based.

2.01 The Lender Commitments.

(a) Committed Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Lenders agree, during the Availability Period, to extend to the Borrowers a revolving line of credit.

(b) Limitation on Borrowings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Lenders shall not be required to advance any Borrowing, conversion or continuation hereunder, if:

(i) after giving effect to such Borrowing, conversion or continuation requested by the Borrowers, the Principal Obligation would exceed the Available Commitment; or

- 45 -

(ii) a Managing Entity or the Initial Borrower has delivered to: (A) the Administrative Agent a notice that indicates that it reasonably believes that the assets of its respective Loan Party or the Initial Borrower (as applicable) constitute Plan Assets or (B) an Investor a Plan Asset Notice;

(iii) any portion of such Loan(s) shall to the knowledge of the applicable Loan Party be used for an investment in any country that is subject to embargo or trade sanctions enforced by OFAC; or

(iv) an Event of Default or a Potential Default exists.

(d) Mandatory Prepayment.

(i) Borrowing Base Deficit. If, on any day, the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Commitment (such an event, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event then the Borrowers or the applicable Qualified Borrower shall pay on demand (a “Mandatory Prepayment”) such excess to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds: (A) promptly on demand (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such demand), to the extent such funds are immediately available in any Collateral Account; or (B) within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand to the extent that it is necessary for the Borrowers to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment (and the Borrowers shall issue such Capital Call Notices during such time, and shall pay such excess immediately after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call Notice are received).

(ii) Exchange Listing. On the date falling thirty (30) Business Days prior to the consummation of an Exchange Listing, the Credit Facility will be cancelled and all outstanding Obligations shall become immediately due and payable.

(iii) Scheduled Reduction Date. On or before the Scheduled Reduction Date, the Borrowers shall prepay without further demand all amounts necessary so that the principal balance of Loans outstanding does not exceed the Maximum Commitment as of the Scheduled Reduction Date to the Administrative agent for the benefit of the Lenders.

2.02 Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to make Loans in Dollars to the Borrowers at any time and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount up to such Lendxx’x Lender Commitment at any such time; provided, however, that, after making any such Loans: (a) such Lendxx’x Pro Rata Share of the Principal Obligation would not exceed such Lender’s Lender Commitment as of such date and (b) there would not exist a Borrowing Base Deficiency. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 7 and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, repay without penalty or premium, and re-borrow hereunder, during the Availability Period. Each Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion

- 46 -

to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Commitment. No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.06(a) hereof would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan.

2.03 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Request for Borrowing. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type of Loan to the other, and each continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by email. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. at least (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or of any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans. Each emailed notice by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers (and each Loan Notice submitted by a Qualified Borrower must be countersigned by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers), unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Notice (whether emailed or written) shall specify: (A) whether the Borrowers are requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of a Loan from one Type of Loan to the other, or a continuation of a Term SOFR Loan; (B) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the principal amount of the Loan to be borrowed, converted or continued; (D) the Type of Loan to be borrowed or to which existing Loan is to be converted; (E) the Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan; (F) [reserved]; and (G) to which account the proceeds of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation should be directed. If the Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrowers fail to give a timely notice requesting a conversion, then the applicable Loan shall be made as, or converted to, a Term SOFR Loan. Any such automatic conversion to a Term SOFR Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Loan. If the Borrowers fail to give timely notice requesting a continuation of Term SOFR Loans, then such Term SOFR Loan shall be automatically renewed with the same Interest Period. Each Loan Notice submitted by the Borrowers shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Borrowing, conversion or continuation.

(b) Additional Certification to be Submitted with Request for Borrowing; Consequences of Investment Exclusion Event. Together with each Request for Borrowing, the Borrowers shall deliver a certification: (A) listing the then current Included Investors, Designated Investors and Excluded Investors, and the amount of their respective Unfunded Commitments (after giving immediate effect to the Borrowing in question); (B) confirming that a Borrowing Base Deficiency will not exist after giving immediate effect to the Borrowing in question; and (C) either: (1) listing the Investors which have exercised, or with respect to which there has occurred or would occur, an Investment Exclusion Event with respect to the applicable Request for Borrowing; or (2) stating that no Investment Exclusion Event has occurred with respect to such Borrowing. To the extent such certification cannot be made, such certification shall be given setting forth in reasonable detail the exceptions thereto.

- 47 -

(c) Administrative Agent Notification of the Lenders. Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Term SOFR Loans or automatic continuation as a Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, as described in Section 2.03(a).

(d) Tranches; Obligation to Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrowers shall not have the right to have more than twenty (20) Term SOFR Loans in the aggregate outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period, nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.06(a) hereof would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan.

(e) Continuations and Conversions of Term SOFR Loans. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan may be continued or converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. During the existence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as Term SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. During the existence of an Event of Default, solely if any of the Obligations have been declared due and payable or the Lenders have otherwise exercised their rights to terminate their commitments, in each case pursuant to Section 11.02, no Loans may be converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Term SOFR Loans that have not been declared due and payable be prepaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

2.04 Minimum Loan Amounts. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000, and each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000.

2.05 Funding.

(a) Funding by the Lenders; Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Borrowers no later than 2:00 p.m. in the case of any Loan on the borrowing date, in each case upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deposit such proceeds in immediately available funds in a Borrower’s account specified in the Loan Notice, or, if requested by the Borrowers in the Loan Notice, shall wire transfer such funds as requested. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the

- 48 -

Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.

(b) Failure of Lender to Fund. If a Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, then the Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest 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, for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to the requested Borrowing for the period commencing on the borrowing date and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from the Borrowers. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Obligations of the Lenders Several. The liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to the Borrowers only for the amount of its respective Lender Commitment.

2.06 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below: (i) each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, (ii) with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans, the Alternate Base Rate in effect from day to day plus the Applicable Margin. At any time, each Loan shall have only one (1) Interest Period and one (1) Interest Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, in no event shall the interest rate hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate.

(b) Default Rate. (i) If any amount of principal of the Obligation is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.06(a) above) such amount shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate; (ii) if any amount (other than principal of the Obligation) payable by any Borrower Party under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.06(a) above), such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect on such day plus 2%; and (iii) upon the request of Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.06(a) above) the principal amount of the Obligations shall bear interest

- 49 -

at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or is waived.

2.07 Determination of Rate. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall become effective, without prior notice to any Loan Party, automatically as of the opening of business of the Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of (i) each Term SOFR Loan and Alternate Base Rate Loan bearing interest based off SOFR shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days and (ii) each Alternate Base Rate Loan (other than when the Alternate Base Rate is calculated based off SOFR) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be.

2.08 [Reserved].

2.09 Payment of Borrower Guaranties. In consideration of Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower hereunder, and to accept Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, each Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lender, to disburse directly to Lenders, with notice to the Borrowers, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount due and owing under any Qualified Borrower Note or Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, costs, expenses and fees due to Lenders pursuant thereto in the event Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Qualified Borrower Note when due. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of any disbursement made to 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 Administrative Agent to Lenders shall be deemed to be a Term SOFR Loan (subject to Section 2.01(d)), and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(a), a Loan Notice with respect thereto. Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on Lenders as to the amount due to Lenders under any Qualified Borrower Note or Borrower Guaranty.

2.10 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely for the purposes permitted under each Governing Agreement. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, and neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans are for purposes permitted under any Governing Agreement. 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 investment by any Borrower is permitted by the terms of any Governing Agreement. Each Borrower Party agrees to respond promptly to any reasonable requests for information related to its use of any Borrowing proceeds to the extent required by any Lender in connection with such Lender’s determination of its compliance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. §371c) and Regulation W. No Borrower Party shall use the proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder to purchase any asset or securities from any entity that to the knowledge of such Borrower Party is a Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in Regulation W.

- 50 -

2.11 Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, according to its Pro Rata Share, an unused commitment fee on the daily amount of the Maximum Commitment which was unused (through the extension of Loans) during the immediately preceding calendar quarter, at the rate of:

(a) from the Closing Date to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, twenty-five basis points (0.25%) per annum on the average daily amount of the unused Commitment; and

(b) on and following the first anniversary of the Closing Date:

(i) twenty-five basis points (0.25%) per annum on the average daily amount of the unused Commitment is less than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Available Commitment; and

(ii) fifty basis points (0.50%) per annum on the average daily amount of the unused Commitment is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Available Commitment;

in each case during the immediately preceding quarter calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and payable quarterly in arrears on the sixth Business Day following the end of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter. 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 Borrower Parties as described herein and for no other purposes.

2.12 Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent fees in consideration of the arrangement of the Lender Commitments and administration of this Credit Agreement, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to among the Borrowers and Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

2.13 [Reserved].

2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Alternate Base Rate Loans (other than when the Alternate Base Rate is calculated based off SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. Each Term SOFR Loan and Alternate Base Rate Loan bearing interest based off SOFR shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year). 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 (1) day.

2.15 [Reserved].

- 51 -

2.16 [Reserved].

2.17 Joinder of Borrowers. An Additional Borrower will become a Borrower hereunder on a several and not joint basis, provided that the Obligations of each Borrower shall be cross-secured by the Unfunded Commitments of each Borrower, and will thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions contained herein as if it were an original signatory hereto as a Borrower upon (a) delivery of Borrower Joinder Agreement duly executed by all parties thereto, (b) to the extent requested by any Lender, delivery by the Borrowers of one or more Notes, and (c) satisfaction of the conditions precedent with respect to such Additional Borrower described in Sections 7.01(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), 7.01(l), (n), (o), and 7.01(r), and if applicable, Sections 7.01(p) and 7.01(q) hereof (including, without limitation, any documents to satisfy the requirements of KYC Compliance of all the Lenders).

2.18 Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Event of Default or Potential Default, and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.18, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent to be given in its sole and absolute discretion, the Borrower Parties may increase the Maximum Commitment to an amount not exceeding $500,000,000. Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, in $25,000,000 increments, or such lesser amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent (each such increase, shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”).

(b) Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date of any Facility Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”) which (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent) shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Facility Increase Request and shall notify the Borrower Parties and the Lenders of the Increase Effective Date.

(i) the Borrower Parties shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request and resolutions adopted by the Borrower Parties approving or consenting to such increase, certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Parties that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect; provided that such resolutions may be the resolutions delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.01(g);

(ii) on or prior to the proposed date of such Facility Increase, the Borrower Parties shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Fee;

(iii) if requested by any Lender, the Borrower Parties shall execute replacement Notes payable to the Administrative Agent reflecting the Facility Increase;

(iv) as of the effective date of such increase and immediately after giving effect thereto, the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan

- 52 -

Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent of changes in facts or circumstances that have been disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing and that do not constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default or to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier or other specific date); provided that if a representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation or warranty, the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be disregarded for the purposes of this condition;

(v) no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which the Facility Increase Request is delivered or immediately after giving effect to the Facility Increase;

(vi) on the Increase Effective Date, (x) an existing Lender or Lenders shall increase its Commitment to support any Facility Increase, in its sole discretion, and/or (y) an additional Lender or Lenders shall have joined the Credit Facility and, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Commitments of such increasing and additional Lenders shall be at least equal to the amount of such Facility Increase; and

(vii) the Borrower Parties shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to each Borrower Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, if so requested by the Administrative Agent prior to the Increase Effective Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Credit Facility. No Lender will be required to commit, nor shall any Lender have any preemptive right, to provide any portion of any Facility Increase.

For the avoidance of doubt, no legal opinions will be required as a condition precedent to a Facility Increase pursuant to this Section 2.18 unless an opinion issued with respect to a Borrower excludes coverage of any such Facility Increase, in which case, the Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion to require a legal opinion with respect to such Borrower.

(d) Reallocation Following Facility Increase. On any Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility Increase (whether pursuant to a new Lender joining the Credit Facility or an existing Lender increasing its Commitment), the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Loans hereunder (including any Loans made by any new or increasing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18) such that, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of each Lender’s (including each new or increasing Lender’s) share of outstanding Loans its share of Commitments is the same as that of each other Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans from an existing Lender to a new or increasing Lender. In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, the (i) Administrative Agent will give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable timing period in Section 2.03 to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (ii) applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their

- 53 -

respective shares of the Loans being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans. In connection with such repayment made with respect to such reallocation (to the extent such repayment is required), the Borrower Parties shall pay (i) all interest due on the amount repaid to the date of repayment on the immediately following Interest Payment Date and (ii) any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.05 as a result of such reallocation occurring on any date other than an Interest Payment Date.

2.19 Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrowers shall have an option to extend the Stated Maturity Date for two (2) additional terms, in each case, not longer than three hundred sixty-four (364) days, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a) Consent of Lenders and Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders (subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.19) and the Administrative Agent consent to the extension in their sole discretion;

(b) Representations and Warranties. As of the effective date of such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent of changes in facts or circumstances that have been disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing and that do not constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default or to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(c) Extension Fee. The Borrowers shall have paid an Extension Fee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders consenting to such extension;

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

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

(f) Beneficial Ownership Certification. The Borrowers shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to each Borrower 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.

To the extent any Lender does not consent to extend under this Section 2.19, the Obligations outstanding to such Lender as of the then effective Stated Maturity Date shall be due and payable to such Lender on such date; provided that, (i) the Borrowers shall have the option

- 54 -

to reduce the Commitments by the amount of such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment for the proposed extended period (at the time such extension is exercised) or (ii) at the discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, such non-extending Lender may be required to assign on the Stated Maturity Date all or part of its Commitment to one or more extending Lenders (or new Lenders) who have consented to increase their Commitments (or join this Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms herein, in the case of a new Lender) and have agreed to such extended Stated Maturity Date. Upon the payment of amounts due under the prior sentence to the non-extending Lender (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, such aforementioned assignment or joinder), such non-extending Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder.

3. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

3.01 Notes. (a) The Loans funded by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Xxxxxx and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 13.14(d). The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrower Parties and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower Parties hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Xxxxxx and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Xxxxxx’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Each Note shall: (a) be in the amount of the applicable Lender’s Lender Commitment; (b) be payable to such Lender at the principal office of the Administrative Agent; (c) bear interest in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof; (d) be in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (e) be made by the Borrowers. The Loans to be made by Lenders to Qualified Borrowers hereunder shall be evidenced by a promissory note of each such Qualified Borrower. Each Qualified Borrower Note shall (a) be in the amount of the Loans to be advanced to such Qualified Borrower; (b) be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the principal office of Administrative Agent; (c) bear interest in accordance with Section 2.06; (d) be in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (e) be duly executed by such Qualified Borrower. Each Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any affected Lender, to reissue new Notes in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to any Lender and any Assignee of such Lender in accordance with Section 13.14 hereof, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by the Borrowers to the affected Lender.

3.02 Payment of Obligations. The Obligations (other than contingent Obligations for which no demand for payment has been made) outstanding on the Maturity Date,

- 55 -

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 disbursement or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.06, 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 the applicable Borrower or applicable Qualified Borrower, 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 immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s account described in Section 3.04, or any other account of the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest (i) on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date and (ii) on any obligation of any Borrower Party hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be due and payable at any time and from time to time following such default 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.

(c) Direct Disbursement. If, at any time, the Administrative Agent shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon the Loans or any fee described herein, the Administrative Agent may direct the disbursement of funds from any Borrower’s Collateral Account to the Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent available therein for payment of any such amount. If, at any such time, the amount available in the Collateral Account is not sufficient for the full payment of such amounts due, the Administrative Agent may, without prior notice to or the consent of any Loan Party, within the limits of the Available Commitment, disburse to the Lenders in immediately available funds an amount equal to the interest or fee due to the Lenders, which disbursement shall be deemed to be a Term SOFR Loan (subject to Section 2.01(d)) pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given to the Lenders in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.03 a Loan Notice with respect thereto.

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 of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff by any Loan Party. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,

- 56 -

all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Credit Agreement be made in the United States. Funds received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first (1st) Business Day following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. Each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata 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 such 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. All payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof as follows:

(i) during a Remedies Reallocation Period, all payments received on account of the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent: (1) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including attorneys’ fees) arising under the terms hereof in accordance with the applicable Pro Rata Shares of any such costs, expenses and other fees; (2) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment in accordance with the applicable Pro Rata Shares of such interest; (3) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment in accordance with the applicable Pro Rata Shares of such principal; and (4) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations in accordance with the applicable Pro Rata Shares of such other amounts; and

(ii) in any circumstance not covered by the foregoing Section 3.04(a)(i), all payments received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the manner directed by the Borrowers (including without limitation to be credited to specific Loans).

(b) Payments by the Borrower Parties; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that a 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 Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if a 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 immediately available 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.

- 57 -

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

3.05 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower Parties may, upon 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 notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than: 11:00 a.m.: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars; and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans; (b) any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; (c) any prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (d) the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders for all costs and expenses incurred, including, without limitation, any breakage costs associated with such prepayment. Each such 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. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the relevant Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share.

3.06 Reduction or Early Termination of Lender Commitments. So long as no Request for Borrowing is outstanding, the Borrowers may terminate the Lender Commitments, or permanently 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): (i)(x) in the case of complete termination of the Lender Commitments, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05; or (y) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Principal Obligation exceeds the reduced Available Commitment, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such reduction of the Maximum Commitment, no Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Principal Obligation shall exceeds such Lender’s Lender Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000,000; and (B) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrowers reduce the Maximum Commitment to $25,000,000 or less (except for a termination of all the Lender Commitments). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be permanent and shall reduce the Lender Commitments of the Lenders on a pro rata basis.

- 58 -

3.07 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 Term 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 Alternate 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 Notes, 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 Lender Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.05, 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 Lender Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by the Borrowers for such Borrowing period.

3.08 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Qualified Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, hereby agree that each Qualified Borrower is severally liable with respect to its obligations hereunder and under any Qualified Borrower Note.

(b) Borrowers. Each Borrower and the Guarantor acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants the following:

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

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers and the Guarantor shall be and are jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Loans and the other Obligations, and 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 Borrowers or the Guarantor.

(iii) Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may exercise remedies against each Loan Party and its respective property separately, whether or not Administrative Agent exercises remedies against any other Loan Party or any or its respective property or any Lien on any Collateral. The Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Loan Party’s obligations without enforcing any other Loan Party’s obligations or any Liens on any portion of the Collateral without enforcing any Liens on all or any other portion of the Collateral and vice versa. Any failure or inability of Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Loan Party’s obligations or any such Liens on all or any portion of the Collateral shall not in any way limit Administrative Agent’s

- 59 -

right to enforce the obligations of any other Loan Party or any other Liens on all or any portion of the Collateral. If Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more Collateral Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Obligations only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Lenders from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, Administrative Agent’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Obligations secured by such Collateral Documents under the applicable state law.

4. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

4.01 Taxes. Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.01, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, except as shall be required by applicable law, provided that if any Borrower Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower Parties) to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (or any Other Taxes) from such payments, then: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.01) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions; and (iii) the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower Parties. Each Borrower Party will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.01) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Parties 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.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return

- 60 -

reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of the Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Parties, at the request of and pursuant to the instructions of the Borrower Parties (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law 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 Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.01(f)(i), (f)(ii)(A), (f)(ii)(B), (f)(ii)(C) and (f)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(f) U.S. Tax Forms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) any Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower Parties and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(ii) any Foreign Lender shall 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 Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent, but to the extent such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(B) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the

- 61 -

meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower Parties within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (y) properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or a successor form), as applicable; or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a certificate described in Section 4.01(f)(ii)(C), IRS Form W-9 (or a successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide the certificate described in Section 4.01(f)(ii)(C) on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or

(E) 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, as applicable, to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) any Foreign Lender 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 Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Parties 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 Borrower Parties 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 Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of

- 62 -

this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower Parties or with respect to which any Borrower Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower Parties an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower Parties under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Xxxxxx, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or to such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Borrower Party pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position 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 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting or expanding the obligation of any Borrower Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.12(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative

- 63 -

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 the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.01(h).

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Lender Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

4.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Term SOFR Loans for any Available Tenor, or Alternate Base Rate Loans (collectively, the “Affected Loans”), or other Obligations, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the then-current 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 then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Affected Loans in the applicable currency or to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans will be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Parties will, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Affected Loans of such Lender to Alternate Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Affected Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Affected Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower Parties will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 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; Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event.

(a) Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 4.03(b), if the Administrative Agent determines, for any proposed Interest Period commencing prior to the Benchmark Replacement Date that: (a) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable market for the applicable amount or Interest Period of any Term SOFR Loan or any Governmental Authority materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based on such Benchmark and such circumstances are likely to be temporary; (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the then-current Benchmark and such circumstances are likely to be temporary; or (c) the then-current Benchmark does not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining any Term SOFR Loan, then: (i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and the Borrowers; and (ii) while such circumstances exist, none of the Lenders shall allocate any Term SOFR Loans made during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any then-existing Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to such Benchmark; provided that, (x) if the foregoing notice relates to Loans that are outstanding as Term SOFR Loans, such Loans shall

be converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, and (y) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any outstanding Requests for Borrowing or, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a Request for Borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section 4.03(a), Administrative Agent, at the request of the Borrowers and in consultation with Borrowers and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the impacted Loans, in which case such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to such impacted Loans (unless Borrowers do not consent thereto in writing and elect instead to convert such Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans) until (1) Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to such Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section 4.03(a), (2) the Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent and Borrowers that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides Administrative Agent and Borrower Parties written notice thereof.

(b) Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action to 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 Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and,

- 65 -

notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action by 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 Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to this Section 4.03, and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. 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, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in the Administrative Agent’s 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.

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including any Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 4.03(b) either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current

- 66 -

Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

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 (except any reserve requirement);

(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Credit Agreement, or any Term SOFR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.01 and the imposition of any Excluded Taxes payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Term SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such 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 Borrowers will, or will cause the applicable Qualified Borrower to, 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 Lender shall have applied generally consistent return metrics to other similarly situated borrowers with respect to such increased cost or reduced return): (A) promptly on demand (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such demand), to the extent such funds are immediately available in any Collateral Account; or (B) within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand to the extent that it is necessary for the Borrowers to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment (and the Borrowers shall issue such Capital Call Notices during such time, and shall pay such excess immediately after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call Notice are received).

(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 requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Lender 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 Xxxxxx’s policies and the policies of such Xxxxxx’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will, or will cause the applicable Qualified

- 67 -

Borrower to, 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 such Lender shall have applied generally consistent return metrics to other similarly situated borrowers with respect to such increased cost or reduced return): (A) promptly on demand (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such demand), to the extent such funds are immediately available in any Collateral Account; or (B) within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand to the extent that it is necessary for the Borrowers to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment (and the Borrowers shall issue such Capital Call Notices during such time, and shall pay such excess immediately after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call Notice are received).

(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 the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall, or shall cause the applicable Qualified Borrower to, pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days 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 shall be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered or other amounts claimed more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers 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 six (6)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall (A) promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such demand), to the extent such funds are immediately available in any Collateral Account; or (B) within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand to the extent that it is necessary for the Borrowers to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment (and the Borrowers shall issue such Capital Call Notices during such time, and shall pay such excess immediately after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call Notice are received), pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as determined by such Lender in good faith as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender harmless from, any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties as a result of (a) any failure or refusal of the Borrowers (for any reasons whatsoever other than a default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) to accept a Loan after the Borrowers shall have requested such Loan under the Credit Agreement, (b) any prepayment or other payment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, (c) any other prepayment of a Loan that is otherwise not made in compliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Borrowers to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under the Credit Agreement that such prepayment will be made.

- 68 -

4.06 Requests for Compensation. If requested by the Borrowers in connection with any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4 (other than Section 4.01), a Lender shall provide to the Borrowers, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount required to be paid by the Borrowers to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender in good faith to determine such amount, such certificate to be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. Any such amount payable by the Borrowers shall not be duplicative of any amounts (a) previously paid under this Section 4, or (b) included in the calculation of the applicable Benchmark.

4.07 Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, all of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Credit Agreement or any provision hereof. Each Lender shall notify the Borrowers in writing of any event occurring after the termination of this Credit Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 4 as promptly as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days of such Lender becoming aware of such event.

4.08 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.06, or any Borrower Party is required to pay any 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 hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.06, 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 Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.06 or if any Borrower Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.14.

(c) Survival. The Borrower Parties’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive termination of the aggregate Lender Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of Administrative Agent.

4.09 Prohibited Event. 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 any Borrower

- 69 -

or this transaction; or (ii) has acquired any discretionary authority or control with respect to any ERISA Investor’s investment in any 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 shall cooperate with each other to avoid (and if relevant, correct) any potential prohibited transaction resulting therefrom in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, at the cost of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any such correction shall prevent the Lender from receiving any direct or indirect fees, loan repayments, or any other benefits from such ERISA Investor. If the Administrative Agent determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that any of the corrections described herein are insufficient to address the potential prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the parties shall also cooperate to replace such affected Lender.

5. SECURITY.

5.01 Liens and Security Interest.

(a) Collateral. To secure performance by the Borrower Parties of the payment and performance of the Obligations: (i) pursuant to the Collateral Account Pledges and Account Control Agreements (if applicable), the Loan Parties will grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Lenders, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest and lien in and to each Collateral Account and all of the proceeds thereof as more fully described therein; and (ii) pursuant to the Security Agreements, to the extent of their respective interests therein, the Initial Borrower, the Guarantor and the Guarantor General Partner will grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest in and Lien on and to all of the collateral described therein, including, without limitation, the Capital Calls, Capital Commitments, Unfunded Commitments and Capital Contributions, including, without limitation, any rights to make Capital Calls, receive payment of Capital Commitments and enforce the payment thereof and to enforce the payment thereof or any guarantees thereof now existing or hereafter arising (the collateral in clauses (i)-(ii) of this Section 5.01 being, collectively, the “Collateral”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Obligations of each Borrower shall be cross-secured by the Unfunded Commitments of all Borrowers and the Guarantor. In order to secure further the payment and performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate the Lenders’ right of setoff, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as subscription agent and the sole party entitled in the name of any Loan Party, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make any Capital Calls on the Investors pursuant to the terms of each of the Governing Agreements, the Security Agreements, and the Subscription Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Loan Party shall make a Capital Call unless such Capital Call is (i) pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5.02(d), (ii) otherwise with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, or (iii) at the Administrative Agent’s request.

(b) Reliance. The Loan Parties agree that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has entered into this Credit Agreement, extended credit hereunder and at the time of each Loan, will make such Loan in reasonable reliance on the obligations of the Investors to fund their respective Capital Commitments as shown in their Subscription Agreements and the Governing

- 70 -

Agreements delivered in connection herewith and accordingly, it is the intent of the parties that such Capital Commitments may be enforced by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and other Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, directly against the Investors without further action by any Loan Party and notwithstanding any compromise of any such Capital Commitment by any Loan Party, as applicable, after the Closing Date as provided in 6 Del. C. §17-502(b)(1).

5.02 Collateral Accounts; Capital Calls.

(a) Collateral Accounts. Each applicable Loan Party will require that all monies or sums to be paid by any Investor to the capital of the applicable Loan Party as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to the Capital Call Notices be paid into the account of such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, listed on Schedule 5.02 hereto (such accounts, the “Collateral Accounts”):

From and after the date that is five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Loan Parties will ensure that the Administrative Agent is permitted (i) electronic viewing access for each Collateral Account at all times, in manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent shall notify the Loan Parties as to whether or not it has received reasonably acceptable electronic viewing access on the date that is five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date and it shall notify the Loan Parties if it does not have reasonably acceptable electronic viewing access at any time thereafter; and (ii) to obtain such necessary information with respect to each Collateral Account as the Administrative Agent may require from time to time in connection with monitoring of the Collateral.

In addition, each applicable Loan Party will immediately upon receipt, deposit in the applicable Collateral Account described above any payments and monies that such Loan Party, as applicable, receives directly from Investors as Capital Contributions. Subject to this Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control over each Collateral Account (if applicable).

Each Collateral Account of each Additional Borrower will be set forth on Schedule 5.02 delivered or otherwise updated in accordance with Section 9.14 hereof.

(b) No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Lender undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to Capital Calls. None of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of any Loan Party, or take any other action with respect to any other matter which might arise in connection with such Constituent Documents or the Subscription Agreements, or any Capital Call. None of them shall have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of any Loan Party 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) Capital Calls. In order that the Lenders may monitor the Collateral and the Capital Commitments, promptly (but in any event no more than three (3) Business Days)

- 71 -

after issue of any Capital Call Notice, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (which delivery may be via electronic mail; provided, that, such communication is otherwise delivered in accordance with Section 13.07 of this Credit Agreement), copies of the Capital Call Notice for each Investor from whom a Capital Contribution is being sought, including copies of any distribution memorandum accompanying such Capital Call Notice, together with a certification: (A) listing the then current Included Investors, Designated Investors and Excluded Investors, and the amount of their Unfunded Commitments (after giving immediate effect to the Capital Call in question); and (B) confirming that a Borrowing Base Deficiency will not exist after giving immediate effect to the Capital Call in question.

(d) Use of Account; Capital Calls by the Administrative Agent. Each Loan Party may withdraw funds from a Collateral Account at any time or from time to time, so long as at the time of such withdrawal and after giving effect thereto there does not exist a Cash Control Event (unless, in the case of a Loan Party, such Loan Party has directed the Depository to disburse all such amounts to the Administrative Agent to satisfy a Mandatory Prepayment or to pay all or any portion of the Obligations), provided that no Loan Party may withdraw any amounts from a Collateral Account during a Cash Control Event without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. The Lenders authorize each Loan Party to make such withdrawals in accordance with this Section 5.02(d). Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Lenders, acting through the Administrative Agent, to charge from time to time the applicable Collateral Account for amounts not paid when due (after the passage of any applicable grace period) to the Lenders or any of them hereunder or under the Notes (as applicable). Upon the occurrence of a Cash Control Event, the Administrative Agent is authorized to take exclusive control of each Collateral Account in accordance with the terms of the applicable Collateral Account Pledge or Account Control Agreement (if applicable). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is hereby authorized, in the name of the Lenders or any Loan Party (as applicable), at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and while an Event of Default exists, to notify any or all parties obligated to any Borrower with respect to the Capital Commitments to make all payments due or to become due thereon directly to one or more of the Collateral Accounts. With or without such general notification, when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may: (i) make Capital Calls in the name of any Loan Party; (ii) take or bring in any Loan Party’s name or that of the Lenders all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or advisable to effect possession or collection of Collateral; (iii) take such actions with respect to the Collateral as are necessary in order to pay the Obligations, and to perform the Subscription Agreements and the Governing Agreements to the extent required to effect such actions; or (iv) exercise any right, privilege, power, or remedy provided to any Loan Party under the Constituent Documents, Subscription Agreements, or any Security Agreement or relating to the right to call for and to receive Capital Contributions. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, none of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall ever be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Collateral, or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and liens relating to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.02(d), but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of

- 72 -

such action or give rise to any defense in favor of any Loan Party with respect to such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall not initiate a Capital Call Notice for the purpose of the repayment of the Obligations for five (5) days following such Event of Default if the Administrative Agent receives written notice from the Borrowers within three (3) days of such Event of Default that the applicable Loan Party intends to issue one or more Capital Calls for the purpose of repaying the Obligations, and in the event such Loan Party so issues such Capital Calls five (5) days following such Event of Default (and simultaneously delivers a copy of each such Capital Call Notice to Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall not issue any Capital Calls for a period of an additional ten (10) Business Days so as to provide the Investors time to respond to such Capital Call. If the Depository with respect to any Collateral Account notifies a Loan Party that it will cease to be the Depository, the applicable Borrower shall have seven (7) days (or such longer period otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) following notice from the Administrative Agent to move its Collateral Account subject to a new Collateral Account Pledge or Account Control Agreement (if applicable) to a replacement Depository; provided, however, that no Loan Party will issue any Capital Call until such new Collateral Account is subject to a Collateral Account Pledge or an Account Control Agreement (if applicable).

(e) Event of Default. During the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, issuance by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any Capital Contribution to any Borrower shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such Person to the extent of any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, so long as such amount shall not be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act or code, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, on behalf of any Loan Party to endorse the name of any Loan Party upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document, agreement or item, including, but not limited to, any item evidencing payment upon a Capital Contribution of any Person to any Loan Party coming into the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of each Loan Party either before or after demand of payment on the Obligations but only during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion, reasonably exercised, of the Administrative Agent, to preserve the security interests and Liens in the Capital Commitments or to secure the repayment of the Obligations, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall incur any liability, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney. The application by the Lenders of such funds shall, unless Required Lenders shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 3.04.

(f) No Representations. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to make at any time any representation or warranty as to the validity of any

- 73 -

Capital Call Notice nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Lenders be accountable for any Loan Party’s use, of the proceeds of any Capital Call Notice.

5.03 Subordination of Claims. At any time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, none of the Loan Parties, nor the Administrator, the Investment Manager or the Investment Advisor shall, receive or collect, directly or indirectly any amount upon the Subordinated Claims, other than to obtain funds required to make any Mandatory Prepayment or otherwise pay the Obligations; provided, however, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon the written consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, the Loan Parties may reimburse an Investment Advisor, the Investment Manager or an Administrator for amounts due to such Person under any Governing Agreement as expense reimbursements. Each of the Investment Advisor and the Administrator acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing.

Any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other encumbrances upon any Person’s assets securing payment of Subordinated Claims, including, but not limited to, any liens or security interests on an Investor’s Investor Interests in any Loan Party shall be and remain inferior and subordinate in right of payment and of security to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other encumbrances upon an Investor’s assets securing such Investor’s obligations and liabilities to the Lenders pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents executed by such Person, regardless of whether such encumbrances are in favor of any Loan Party, Administrator, Investment Manager or Investment Advisor or the Lenders presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, no Loan Party will: (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s or partnership right it may have against an Investor; (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief, or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interest, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of such Investor held by such Person; or (c) exercise any rights or remedies against an Investor under any Governing Agreement or any Subscription Agreement; provided that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any Loan Party’s name or any action taken by any Loan Party that is required under any Loan Document or to comply with any Loan Document, shall not be a violation of this Section 5.03.

6. GUARANTY.

6.01 Guaranty of Payment. Subject to the limitation set forth below, (i) each Borrower hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Secured Party the prompt payment of all Obligations (other than Excluded Swap Obligations) of the Qualified Borrowers and (ii) the Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Secured Party the prompt payment of all Obligations (other than Excluded Swap Obligations) of the Borrowers (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and the timely performance of all other obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The guaranty in this Section 6 (this “QB Guaranty”) is a guaranty of payment and not of

- 74 -

collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all of the Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of the Borrowers or the Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of any Borrower or Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including, without limitation, Debtor Relief Laws). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor shall not exceed its obligation and/or liability to make capital contributions to a Borrower or the obligations and/or liabilities of Investors to make capital contributions to the Guarantor, in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable Governing Agreements, Subscription Agreements and/or Side Letters, if any.

6.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each Borrower and the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each Borrower and the Guarantor agrees that this QB Guaranty may be enforced by the Secured Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or any Collateral, if any, hereafter securing any Obligations or otherwise and such Borrower hereby waives the right to require the Secured Parties to make demand on or proceed against any Loan Party or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the Secured Parties to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Borrower and the Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Secured Parties from suing on the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or Lien on any Collateral securing any Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of such Xxxxxxxx’s obligations hereunder. Neither any Borrower’s nor the Guarantor’s obligations under this QB Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Loan Party or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Loan Party.

6.05 Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the obligations of each Borrower and the Guarantor under this Section 6 will be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Borrower and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees of outside counsel) incurred by such

- 76 -

Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

6.06 Remedies. Each Borrower and the Guarantor agrees that, as between such Borrower, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11.02) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Borrower or the Guarantor. Each Borrower and the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

Each Borrower and the Guarantor agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full in cash and the termination of the Lender Commitments, it will not exercise, and hereby waives, any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, offset, indemnification or other claims against any other Loan Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or required to be made by such Borrower or the Guarantor under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. After the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any part of the Guaranteed Obligations that represents contingent contractual indemnities) and the termination of the Lender Commitments, each Borrower and the Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against any other Loan Party all such rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, indemnification and offset, and all such other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

6.08 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower and the Guarantor 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 and the Guarantor that each Borrower and the Guarantor desires that the obligations under this QB Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of each Borrower and the Guarantor, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

(b) Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers and the Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable to the Secured Parties for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Loans and the other Guaranteed Obligations, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans and the other Guaranteed Obligations against any one or more Borrowers.

- 77 -

(c) Separate Exercise of Remedies. Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) may exercise remedies against each Borrower and the Guarantor and their property separately, whether or not Administrative Agent exercises remedies against the other Borrower or the Guarantor or their property. Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s obligations without enforcing the other Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations and vice versa. Any failure or inability of Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Borrower’s or the Guarantor’s obligations shall not in any way limit Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of the other Borrower or the Guarantor. If Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more Collateral Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Guaranteed Obligations only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Secured Parties from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, Administrative Agent’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Obligations secured by such Collateral Documents under the applicable state law.

(ii) Without the consent of Administrative Agent and all Lenders, no Loan Party will permit the withdrawal of an Included Investor or Designated Investor (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any withdrawal as a result of a transfer of such Included Investor’s or Designated Investor’s Investor Interest, which transfer instead shall be subject to Section 10.06(a)), unless such withdrawal is required to keep a Borrower in compliance with Section 10.07 hereof and is made pursuant to the terms of the applicable Governing Agreement (or the corresponding section in any applicable Constituent Document), and otherwise in accordance with this Credit Agreement. In the event that (x) the Investor Interests of an Included Investor or Designated Investor will be redeemed and will not be transferred to an existing Included Investor or Designated Investor (as applicable), or (y) an Included Investor or Designated Investor is permitted hereunder to withdraw from a Loan Party, the Loan Party shall, prior to such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, calculate whether a Borrowing Base Deficiency will exist (taking into consideration the Unfunded Commitment of the Included Investor or Designated Investor (as applicable)) if such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, occurs, and to the extent such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, would cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency prior to the effectiveness of any such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, the Loan Parties shall make a Capital Call on the Investors, including the Investor that is being redeemed or that is permitted to withdrawal from a Borrower, in an amount necessary to make any required Mandatory Prepayments (including, without limitation, any amounts required under Section 2.01(d) hereof).

The Loan Parties shall, with respect to any Person admitted as a substitute or new Investor (whether due to a transfer by an existing Investor or otherwise) (a “Subsequent Investor”), promptly (and, in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the admission of such Subsequent Investor) notify the Administrative Agent of the identity of such Investor and deliver documentation similar to that described in Section 7.01(l) with respect thereto. In the event any Person is admitted as an additional or substitute Investor of a Loan Party, the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a revised Exhibit A-1 to this Credit Agreement, containing the names of each Investor and the Capital Commitments of each Investor.

(e) Funding Requirements. Prior to the effectiveness of any transfer by an Included Investor or Designated Investor, the Loan Parties shall calculate whether a Borrowing

- 102 -

Base Deficiency will exist if such transfer occurs (taking into account the Unfunded Commitment of the relevant Included Investor or Designated Investor), and to the extent such transfer would cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency, and shall, to the extent the Loan Parties do not otherwise have funds available in any Collateral Account, pay any resulting Mandatory Prepayment prior to permitting such transfer (which payment may be made from any source available to the Loan Parties, including but not limited to the proceeds of a Capital Call). For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan Parties covenant not to effect any transfer or withdrawal of the Investor Interest of an Included Investor or Designated Investor contemplated by Section 10.06(a) and Section 10.06(c) until such time as the Administrative Agent has received payment of any applicable Mandatory Prepayment triggered by any such transfer or withdrawal (including, without limitation, any amounts required to be paid under Section 2.01(d) hereof).

In such event, the Loan Parties shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent promptly pay any reasonable 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 the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of any Loan Party, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of the Loan Parties, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall the Administrative Agent or the Lenders be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Loan Party or any related Person.

11.04 Good Faith Duty to Cooperate. In the event that the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders elect to commence the exercise of remedies pursuant to Sections 11.02 or 11.03 as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been waived, the Loan Parties agree to cooperate in good faith with the Administrative Agent to enable the Administrative Agent to issue Capital Calls and enforce the payment thereof by the Investors, including but not limited to providing contact information for each Investor within two (2) Business Days of request.

12. AGENCY PROVISIONS

12.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

(a) Authority. Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) (collectively with such Lender, a “Lender Party”) hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, nor shall any Agent have or been deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and no

- 110 -

Borrower Party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except for the provisions that explicitly relate to the Loan Parties in Section 12.10).

(b) Release of Collateral. The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent (without any further consent of the Secured Parties), at the Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, to release any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent: (i) upon termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has yet been made), including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; and (ii) if approved by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 13.01. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.01(b).

12.02 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by such Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, nor shall it be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 12 shall apply to any such sub-agent of such Agent.

12.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact (each such Person, an “Agent-Related Person”), shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or be responsible in any manner to any Lender Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Borrower Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower Party in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Agent-Related Person to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties to the Agent-Related Person or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties. The Agents are not trustees for the Lenders and owe no fiduciary duty to the Lenders. Each Lender Party recognizes and agrees that

- 111 -

the Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Sections 7.01, 7.02 or 7.03 have been satisfied and, when the Administrative Agent disburses funds to Borrower, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by a Borrower Party.

12.04 Reliance on Communications. The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, email, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Borrower Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents with reasonable care). Each Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 13.11(c). Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all of the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).

12.05 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders and as is permitted by the Loan Documents.

12.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this

- 112 -

Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

12.07 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify, upon demand, each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower Party and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with the applicable Lender’s respective Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or related to another Lender; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.07. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties. The agreements in this Section 12.07 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, payment of all of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, as well as the resignation or replacement of any Agent.

12.08 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent (and any successor acting as an Agent) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Borrower Party (or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as though such Agent were not an Agent or a Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower Parties or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Loans made and all obligations owing to it, an Agent

- 113 -

acting in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

12.09 Successor Agents.

(a) Resignation of Administrative Agent. (i) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), 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 Xxxxxxx and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(ii) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13.06 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Resignation of Other Agents. Any other Agent may, at any time, resign upon written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to

- 114 -

the effective date of the resignation of the applicable Agent, then the retiring Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor Agent from any of the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent xxxxxxxxx, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and shall assume the duties and obligations of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement.

12.10 Reliance by the Borrower. The Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon, and to act or refrain from acting on the basis of, any notice, statement, certificate, waiver or other document or instrument delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and the Borrower shall not be responsible or liable to any Lender (or to any Participant or to any Assignee), or as a result of any action or failure to act (including actions or omissions which would otherwise constitute defaults hereunder) which is based upon such reliance upon Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall be entitled to treat the Administrative Agent as the properly authorized Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement until the Borrower shall have received notice of resignation, and the Borrower shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Administrative Agent until the Borrower shall have received written notification satisfactory to them of the appointment of such successor.

12.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, 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 the Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the 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 the Secured Parties hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and 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 Party, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the

- 115 -

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.

12.12 Erroneous Payment. (a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) 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, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing 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 12.12 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), 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 (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) 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 Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient,

- 116 -

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 immediately preceding clauses (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 or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately 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 12.12(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.12(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 12.12(a)or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon 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 (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) 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) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, 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) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the

- 117 -

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, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, 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 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 will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. 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.

(ii) Subject to Section 13.14(b), (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower 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 Xxxxxx (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 12.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or

- 118 -

accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any 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 for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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

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

12.13 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Representations and Warranties. Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of Required Lenders), on the one hand, and any one or more Loan Parties on the other hand; provided, that, if this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically provides that the terms thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated with the approval of the Administrative Agent, acting alone, or all Lenders, then such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination must be signed by the Administrative Agent or all Lenders, as applicable, on the one hand, and the applicable Loan Parties on the other hand; provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of:

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above and in Section 10: (A) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; and (B) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. The Administrative Agent may, after consultation with the Loan Partes, agree to the modification of any term of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to correct any printing, stenographic, clerical or other ministerial errors or omissions that are inconsistent with the terms hereof.

If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) days of the making of such request by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have denied giving its consent to the request.

13.02 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Loan Party or any other obligor, any such notice being waived by each Loan Party (on its own behalf and on behalf of each obligor, including without limitation each Qualified Borrower), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower Party against any and all of the Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Credit Agreement or

- 122 -

any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 13.02 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

13.03 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, the receipt of any proceeds from a Capital Call or the exercise of any remedies under any Collateral Documents, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately: (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact; and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such of Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Xxxxxx’s ratable share (according to the proportion of: (i) the amount that such paying Xxxxxx’s required repayment bears to; (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Qualified Borrowers) agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 13.02) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower Party in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 13.03 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 13.03 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Credit Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. To the extent required to implement the sharing of payments under this Section 13.03, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to distribute any proceeds from Capital Calls or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents held by the Administrative Agent to Lenders consistent with the terms of this Section 13.03.

13.04 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

- 123 -

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.

13.05 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. Subject to the terms of this Credit Agreement, including Section 13.01, the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all Lenders, and the Borrowers may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Credit Agreement or the rights of the Lenders, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent of the Administrative Agent being effective to bind all Lenders.

13.06 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay: (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, due diligence, negotiation, documentation, execution, delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications, waivers or consents of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); and (ii) out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any external counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), 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 13.06; or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

This Section 13.06(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

13.07 Reimbursement by Xxxxxxx. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a)or (b) of this Section 13.06 to be paid by it 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 Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share (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 subject to the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof.

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment or an Affiliate of such Lender; and

(C) under no circumstances shall any Lender assign any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to a Competitor unless an Event of Default has been in existence for more than ninety (90) calendar days.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (except in the case of a transfer at the demand of the Borrowers under Section 13.14

hereof, in which case the Borrowers shall pay such 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 the Loan Parties. No such assignment shall be made to any Loan Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof.

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

(vii) Borrower Requested Assignments. Each assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers under Section 13.14 hereof 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.

(c) Effect of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 13.14, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 13.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection (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 13.14.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower Parties, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Lender Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 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.

- 132 -

(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Loan 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 Lender 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; (iii) the Loan Parties, 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; (iv) if no Event of Default exists at the time of consummation thereof, the Borrowers have consented to such participation (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or if such assignment is to a Competitor, such consent to be in the sole discretion of the Borrowers); and (v) if the consent of the Borrowers is not required, the Borrowers have received notice of such participation no less than one Business Day prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date. 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 13.01(a), Section 13.01(b)(ix) or Section 13.01(b)(xi) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to clause (f) of this Section 13.14, each Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Qualified Borrowers) agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.04, 4.05 and 13.06 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.14. 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 such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 13.02 and 13.03 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower Parties, maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and the United States Treasury Regulations issued thereunder 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 this Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01, 4.04, or 4.05 than the applicable Lender would

- 133 -

have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(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 or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, including without limitation pursuant to DocuSign, 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.

13.15 Lender Default. The right of a Defaulting Lender to vote on matters related to this Credit Agreement, and to participate in the administration of the Loans and this Credit Agreement, shall be suspended; provided, however, such Defaulting Lender shall retain the right to vote on all matters which required all Lender or affected Lender consent under Section 13.01(a). The Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire at par all of such Xxxxxx’s Lender Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement. In the event that the Administrative Agent does not exercise its right to so acquire all of such Lender’s interests, then each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender (each, a “Current Party”) shall then, thereupon, have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to acquire at par (or if more than one Current Party exercises such right, each Current Party shall have the right to acquire, pro rata in accordance with its Lender Commitment) such Lender’s Lender Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the outstanding Obligations under this Credit Agreement.

13.16 Replacement of Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04, or if any Borrower Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.14), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

- 134 -

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500;

(b) 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);

(c) 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

(d) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or 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.

13.17 Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Lenders 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 the Lenders 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 Borrowers. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower Parties and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law: (a) characterize any nonprincipal 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 Lenders shall refund to the Borrowers 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.

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

13.19 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered

- 135 -

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 Potential 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.

13.20 Integration. This Credit Agreement is intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced by this Credit Agreement. All prior or contemporaneous promises, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, are deemed to be superseded by this Credit Agreement, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding not set forth in this Credit Agreement.

13.21 Limited Liability of Investors. Nothing contained in this Section 13.19 or in any of the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed to limit restrict, or impede the obligations, the liabilities, and indebtedness of the Borrower Parties, or of any Investor to make its Capital Contributions to any Borrower, in accordance with the terms of the Governing Agreements, the other Constituent Documents, and its Subscription Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any expenses and losses arising from any Loan Party’s intentional misrepresentation hereunder or any Loan Document to which it is a party, fraud or willful misapplication of proceeds in contravention of this Credit Agreement, shall be fully recourse to the Borrowers and/or the Managing Entities, as the case may be; provided, that, none of the Investors shall have any personal, partnership, corporate or trust liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 13.19, the payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to the Borrowers and to the Borrowers’ respective properties and assets.

13.22 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender 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, service providers, employees, Representatives, advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested 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 a confidentiality agreement containing provisions substantially the same as (or no less restrictive than) those of this Section 13.22, to: (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or with the consent of the Borrowers in their sole discretion, any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement and any of their Representatives and professional advisors; (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or, with the consent of the Borrowers in their sole discretion, prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower Parties or (iii) to any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or

- 136 -

other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Credit Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) with the consent of the Borrowers; (h) to the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.22; or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates; (j) to any person appointed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or by a person to whom paragraph (f)(i) or (f)(ii) above applies to provide administration or settlement services in respect of one or more of the Loan Documents including without limitation, in relation to the trading of participations in respect of the Loan Documents, such Information as may be required to be disclosed to enable such service provider to provide any of the services referred to in this paragraph (j) if the service provider (including any numbering service provider) to whom the Information is to be given has entered into a confidentiality agreement containing provisions substantially the same as (or no less restrictive than) those of this Section 13.22 or such other form of confidentiality agreement agreed between the Borrowers and the relevant Lender, (k) to whom or for whose benefit that Lender charges, assigns or otherwise creates a Lien (or may do so) pursuant to clause (g) of Section 13.14 or (l) any Beneficiary and to any of that Person’s Affiliates, Related Parties, Representatives and professional advisers (and where the Beneficiary is a funding vehicle, investors or potential investors in and administrative agents and trustees of such funding vehicle). For the purposes of this Section 13.22, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or their business, any Investment, any Affiliate of a Loan Party or an Investor other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person; provided that, in the case of information received from any Loan Party after the date hereof, 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 13.22 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.

13.23 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party 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 each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.24 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), each Loan Party (on its own behalf and, to the extent applicable, on behalf of each Qualified Borrower) acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, 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 Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates,

on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, on the other hand; (ii) the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate; and (iii) the Loan Parties are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger each 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 Loan Party or any of its respective Affiliates, or any other Person; and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates 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 Loan Party or their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party (on its own behalf and, to the extent applicable, on behalf of each Qualified Borrower) hereby waives and releases any claim that it may have against the Administrative Agent and 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

14. GUARANTY

14.01 Guaranty of Payment. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment of the Obligations of the Borrower in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and the timely performance of all other obligations by the Borrower under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (such guaranty by the Guarantor, the “Guaranty”). This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all of the Obligations of the Borrower whenever arising. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of the Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (including, without limitation, Debtor Relief Laws).

14.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by any Secured Party without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations or otherwise and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to make demand on or proceed against any Loan Party or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent any Secured Party from suing on the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or Lien on any Collateral, if any, securing the Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that, subject to such Guarantor’s rights to raise defenses to payment that would be available to it if such Guarantor were named as the “Borrower” hereunder rather than as a Guarantor, its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase

- 139 -

or limitation of the liability of any Loan Party or by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or analogous procedure of any Loan Party. The Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual or increase of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party on this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty. The Obligations, and any part of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty. All dealings between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. The Guarantor represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to the Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, Solvent This Credit Agreement and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has yet been made)), including, without limitation, the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including without limitation provisions relating to Events of Default) of this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Collateral, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrower may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Obligations.

14.03 Modifications. The Guarantor agrees that: (a) all or any part of the Collateral now or hereafter held for the Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of the Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) the Borrower, the Guarantor and any other party liable for payment under the Loan Documents may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, this Credit Agreement may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of the Borrower, the

- 140 -

Guarantor or any other party liable for the payment of the Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

14.04 Waiver of Rights. The Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Guaranty by the Lenders and of all extensions of credit to any Loan Party by the Lenders; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Credit Agreement) with respect to the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Lenders obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations, or the Lenders subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or encumbrances, if any; (e) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Obligations to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor, to (A) proceed against the Borrower, any guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from the Borrower, any guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations; (h) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations; (j) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate Guarantor or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

14.05 Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 14.05 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization, any analogous procedure or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will

- 141 -

indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of outside counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

14.06 Remedies. The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Obligation from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligation being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligation (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

14.07 Subrogation. The Guarantor agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has yet been made), it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation, indemnification, contribution, offset, remedy (direct or indirect) or other claims against any other Loan Party arising by contract or operation of law or equity in connection with any payment made or required to be made by the Guarantor under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter. The Guarantor further agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has yet been made) to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification a Guarantor may have against any other Loan Party or against any Collateral or other collateral or security, and any rights of contribution a Guarantor may have against any other Loan Party, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent may have against such Loan Party and to all right, title and interest the Administrative Agent may have in any such other collateral.

14.08 Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the Borrower in part based upon the assurances by the Guarantor that the Guarantor desires that the Obligations of the Guarantor under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Guarantor, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

14.09 Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall be liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Guaranty Obligation, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Guaranty Obligation against the Guarantor.

- 142 -

14.10 Borrower Information. The Guarantor confirms and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of the Borrower. The Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, and the Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the Borrower now known or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent. The Guarantor hereby waives any right to have the Collateral or other collateral or security securing the Obligations marshaled.

14.11 Instrument for the Payment of Money. The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 14 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by the Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motions and/or actions under New York CPLR Section 3213.
