has notified the Borrower or any Credit Party in writing, or has made a public
statement to the effect, that it does not intend or expect to comply with any of its

“(c) The Borrower may request an increase in the amount of the Aggregate Commitment by
offering to the Lenders or to other prospective Eligible Lenders acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (“Prospective Lenders”) the opportunity to increase their Commitments
or to extend Commitments hereunder; provided; however, the Borrower shall not request an
increase that would cause the Aggregate Commitment after giving effect to such increase to

(e) Section 2.3 (Fees) of the New Credit Agreement is amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
2.3 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) during the period
which shall begin on the first day of the Commitment Period and shall extend to the
Termination Date, which Commitment Fee shall be a quarterly fee, computed at the rate of
0.40% per annum on the average daily amount of the Available Commitments of all Lenders
(other than a Defaulting Lender) in the aggregate during each calendar quarter. Such
Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first of such
dates to occur after the date hereof.
(f) Section 2.9(b) (Pro Rata Treatment and Payments) of the New Credit Agreement
is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as Sections 2.9(b), (c) and (d) as follows:
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by
any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would
constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making
such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. Subject to the provisions concerning Defaulting Lenders in this Agreement and to clause 2.9(c) below, with respect
to a
5
Lender which is not a Defaulting Lender, if such amount is not made available
to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor,
such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the applicable daily Federal
Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
applicable banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period
commencing with such Borrowing Date until such Lender makes such amount immediately
available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent (it
being understood the Borrower shall not be obligated to repay any such interest paid
by the non-funding Lender) submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing
under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3;
(ii) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder
(including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to
Section 9.1); provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a
Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification
requiring the consent of such Defaulting Lender or each Lender affected thereby as
stated in Section 9.1;
(iii) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agree that a
Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be
a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such remedied Lender shall purchase at par
such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine
may be necessary in order for such remedied Lender to hold such Loans in accordance
with its portion of the Aggregate Commitments.
(d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation
pursuant to Section 2.9(b) or 8.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any
amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations to it under the applicable Section until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated
account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations
of such Lender under any such applicable Section, in the case of each of clauses (i)
and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its
discretion.
6
(g) Section 2.12 (Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lender) of the New
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then 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 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, or if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower 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 Section 9.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto,
as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(h) Section 4.2(c) and (e) (Conditions to Each Loan) of the New Credit Agreement
are each hereby amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows:
(c) Maximum Borrowing Limitation. Immediately prior to and
immediately after giving effect to the proposed Loans to be made, the Borrower’s
7
Asset Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 325% and the Borrower shall provide the
Administrative Agent with a pro forma calculation of the Asset Coverage Ratio taking
into effect the proposed Loans (using Net Asset values as calculated within 10 Days
of the Borrowing Date); and in each case the Borrower shall not have violated any
Requirements of Law or exceeded the borrowing limits set forth in its Prospectus or
registration statement.
(e) Net Assets. The Net Assets of the Borrower most recently
calculated prior to the Borrowing Date (but in any event within 10 Days of the
Borrowing Date) shall be greater than or equal to the Minimum Net Assets, and the
Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with a statement of said Net Assets
and Minimum Net Assets (calculated within 10 Days of the Borrowing Date).
(i) The following shall be added as Section 5.9 (Payments following Default or
Event of Default) to the New Credit Agreement:
5.9 Payments Following Default or Event of Default. During the
continuation of any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower shall make payments
with respect to the Loans and other amounts outstanding under this Agreement not
less than pro rata with payments of all principal amounts of any unsecured
borrowings of the Borrower, calculated in accordance with principal amounts
outstanding.
(j) Sections 6.2 and 6.3 (Limitation on Indebtedness; Limitation on Liens) of the
New Credit Agreement shall be amended to read in their entirety as follows:

exist any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except
Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Subsidiary incurred (a) under the Loan
Documents, (b) in the form of reverse repurchase transactions, Swap Obligations,
Interest Rate Agreements, derivatives, or other transactions entered into primarily
for investment purposes which have the effect of borrowing, provided that
the notional value of all Swap Obligations shall not exceed $50 million at any time,
(c) pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, (d) any additional unsecured
Indebtedness that the Borrower may issue from time to time provided that the
Asset Coverage Ratio is greater than 350% at the time of issue taking into account
such issuance, and no Default or Event of Default is then existing or
would be caused thereby and Borrower has certified the same to Lenders and
Agent, and provided further that the net proceeds (after payment of
premium, fees and expenses) of such issuances not used to refinance then existing
unsecured indebtedness shall be used to repay the Loans and other amounts due under
this Agreement until paid in full, provided such 350% condition precedent
and use of proceeds requirement may be waived with Required Lenders’ consent, or (e)
secured Indebtedness the aggregate principal amount of which is not outstanding for
more than 60 days and which does not exceed five percent (5%) of the
8
Borrower’s
Total Assets at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness (“Permitted Secured
Indebtedness”); and, in each case, which is not otherwise prohibited by law, is in
the ordinary course of business, and is not in contravention of the Borrower’s
Prospectus and in the case of 6.2(a), (c), (d) and (e) is reflected properly as
Senior Securities representing Indebtedness of the Borrower in the calculation of
the Asset Coverage Ratio.
6.3 Limitation on Liens. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any Lien upon any of the property, assets or revenues of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for (i) Liens securing

the Borrower which are placed in a segregated account and are generally
representative of the assets of the Borrower taken as a whole in credit quality,

appropriate proceedings, provided that adequate reserves with respect

with GAAP, (iii) Liens arising in connection with claims for advances made by or
payments due to the custodian under the Borrower’s Custody Agreement, (iv) Liens
created, incurred, assumed or suffered to exist in compliance with the Prospectus

suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, other than (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) the Note
Purchase Agreements, (iii) the provisions of certain series of mandatory redeemable
preferred shares issued by the Borrower, (iv) the Institutional Account Agreement
for Introduced Accounts, dated as of September 27, 2004 between the Borrower and

prohibited by any Requirements of Law.

shall be no period of remedy; or
(m) The following sentence shall be added as the final sentence of Section 9.1
(Amendments and Waivers) to the New Credit Agreement:

interest or fees payable on, Loans may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled
date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such
