(d) Prime Rate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if, with respect to any LIBOR Advance, Lender provides Borrower telephonic notice (to be confirmed promptly by reasonable evidence in writing from Lender) that LIBOR for the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance will not adequately reflect the cost to Lender of making, funding, or maintaining such LIBOR Advance for such Interest Period, then effective as of the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, and provided that Lender is also generally making automatic Conversions of LIBOR advances to Prime Rate advances in respect of other borrowers similarly situated as Borrower where it has the right to do so, such LIBOR Advance will automatically Convert to a Prime Rate Advance until Lender shall notify Borrower that the circumstances causing such Conversion to a Prime Rate no longer exist. In addition, in the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower) that (x) on any date for determining LIBOR, by reason of changes affecting the London interbank market or Lender’s position therein, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR or (y) compliance by Lender in good faith with any applicable Legal Requirement of any Governmental Authority, prohibits or restrains the making or Continuation of any LIBOR Advance ((x) and/or (y) being a “LIBOR Failure”), then,
19
in any such event, Lender shall give prompt telephonic notice (to be confirmed promptly by reasonable evidence in writing from Lender) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon: (1) Borrower’s right to request a LIBOR Advance shall be immediately suspended until Lender determines that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, and (2) that portion of the Loans bearing interest based on LIBOR, or which would have been based on LIBOR, shall automatically and immediately Convert to a Prime Rate Advance at the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and shall be subject to Section 2.9(d) hereof.
(e) Reliance. Lender may rely on, and act without liability upon the basis of, any telephonic or written notice believed by Lender in good faith to be given to, or received from Borrower (or any Borrower representative) including any telephonic Notice of Continuation or Notice of Conversion, which Borrower covenants to subsequently give Lender written confirmation thereof. In each such case, Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice, except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
2.4 Minimum Advance Amounts. Each Borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of a LIBOR Advance shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and each Borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of a Prime Rate Advance shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided, however, that (subject to Section 2.2 hereof) any Revolving Loan may be in an amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the available Applicable Revolving Facility Commitment Amount, and any Conversion or Continuation may be in an amount that is equal to the entire amount of the Advance being Converted or Continued.

Upon Borrower’s payment to Lender of an extension fee in an amount equal to .35% of the unpaid principal balance of the Loans on the date the Lender notifies the Borrower of its election to extend the original Stated Maturity Date, the original Stated Maturity Date shall, as of such date, be automatically extended for a period of an additional three hundred sixty four (364) days from the original Stated Maturity Date, without further action by Lender or Borrower. If Lender elects not to extend the original Stated Maturity Date, Borrower shall comply in all respects with the provisions set forth in Section 2.8(a) hereof.
2.9 Payments of Principal and Prepayments; Breakage.
(a) Payments of Loan; Payments Generally. The unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall be payable by Borrower in quarterly installments after the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the first fiscal quarter immediately following the Closing Date, on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date on which the Borrower is required to deliver a Net Distributions Report with respect to such fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 4.1(c) hereof, irrespective of whether Borrower has delivered such Net Distributions Report, in an amount equal to the following: (i) 70% of all Net Distributions received by Borrower during such quarter, until the earlier of (A) the first date on which the LTV Percentage is less than or equal to 30% and (B) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) at all times thereafter (subject to Section 2.9(c)(i) hereof), 35% of all Net Distributions received by Borrower during such quarter. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Agreement by Borrower to or for the account of Lender shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off by Borrower. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans shall be payable by automatic debit to the Master Collateral Account, to the extent of funds on deposit therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Lender at Lender’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the dates specified herein. Funds received after 11:00 a.m. shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by Lender on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue until such Business Day. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day (unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding 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, in the following manner: (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs) arising under the terms hereof; (b) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; and (d) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.
22
(b) Prepayment in General. Borrower may, upon notice to Lender, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay any of the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (subject to Section 2.9(g) hereof); provided that: (i) such notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) must be received by Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment, for LIBOR Advances, and no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of prepayment for Prime Rate Advances; and (b) any prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $50,000 or in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day, the “Prepayment Date”) and amount of such prepayment (the “Prepayment Amount”), and the Loans and the Type(s) of such Loans to be prepaid. The entire Prepayment Amount specified in the Prepayment Notice shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. If any Prepayment Notice is given, then on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender (1) the entire Prepayment Amount specified in the Prepayment Notice, (2) interest accrued and unpaid on the Prepayment Amount through and including the Prepayment Date, and (3) in the event the Prepayment Amount equals the entire outstanding principal amount hereunder, all other accrued but unpaid Obligations. Any prepayment made by Borrower with respect to any Loan (whether voluntary or mandatory) shall be accompanied by any and all additional amounts required pursuant to subparagraph (g) of this Section 2.9. Unless otherwise specified by Borrower in the Prepayment Notice, any voluntary Prepayment Amounts shall be (i) applied to the Obligations with respect to the Term Loan before being applied to the Revolving Loans and the other Obligations hereunder and (ii) credited to the next succeeding payments of principal payable with respect to the Loans under Section 2.9(a) hereof.
(c) Mandatory Prepayments; Additional Collateral.
(i) At all times during the continuance of a Full Distribution Sweep Event, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in immediately available funds, as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans, an amount equal to 100% of all Net Distributions that have been remitted to the Master Collateral Account or otherwise received by Borrower, until, in the case of any Full Distribution Sweep Event arising under clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof, such time as, after giving effect to such payments, (A) the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan is equal to or less than the applicable Maximum Term Facility Amount and (B) the LTV Percentage is not in excess of the Step-Down LTV Percentage.
(ii) If, at any time following the calculation of the Borrowing Base under a Compliance Certificate, such calculation reveals that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base, then Borrower shall no later than ten (10) Business following the day on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered to Lender, (A) to the extent that funds are available in the Master Collateral Account, apply such funds to repay such excess, (B) prepay the Loans, in immediately available funds, in an amount equal to such excess, (C) pledge to Lender additional Collateral (including by identifying additional Eligible PE Funds), of types and values acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, and documented to its reasonable satisfaction, as further security for the Obligations, (D) a combination of any of the foregoing so that, after giving effect thereof, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans does not exceed the Borrowing Base and/or (E) take any other action, acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, that causes the LTV Percentage to be equal to or less than the Maximum Advance Rate, which, in turn, causes the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans to not be in excess of the Borrowing Base.
23
(iii) If, at any time, Borrower sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any of its limited partnership interests in Acquisition SPV (which Borrower acknowledges requires Lender’s prior written consent pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof), Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender an amount equal to 100% of the cash proceeds (net of customary costs, fees and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (including, for the avoidance of doubt, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, underwriters or placement agents’ fees, discounts or commissions, and brokerage and consultant fees) and net of taxes paid or reasonably estimated by Borrower to be payable as a result, or in respect thereof (after taking into account any available tax credits or deductions and any tax sharing arrangements) of such sale, transfer or disposition upon receipt thereof as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans.
(iv) If, at any time, Borrower receives a capital contribution from any Parent pursuant to the Performance Agreement, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such capital contribution upon receipt thereof as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans.
(d) Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, etc. In the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower) that on any date for determining LIBOR, by reason of changes affecting the London interbank market, or Lender’s position therein, (a) deposits in U.S. dollars are not being offered to banks in the relevant interbank market for the applicable Interest Period of any LIBOR Advance or (b) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then in such event, Lender shall give telephonic or written notice to Borrower of such determination (to be confirmed promptly by reasonable evidence in writing from Lender, in the case of telephonic notice). Until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, Lender shall not be required to make or maintain any LIBOR Advances hereunder and shall make Prime Rate Advances instead.
(e) Illegality. In the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower) at any time that compliance by Lender in good faith with any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, or any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, prohibits or restrains the making or continuance of any LIBOR Advance, then, in any such event, Lender shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower of such determination (to be confirmed promptly by reasonable evidence in writing from Lender, including an explanation thereof), whereupon: (i) Borrower’s right to request a LIBOR Advance shall be immediately suspended, and (ii) that portion of the Loans bearing interest based on LIBOR shall automatically and immediately Convert to a Loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and shall be subject to subparagraph (g) of this Section 2.9.
(f) Increased Costs. If, by reason of the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements or regulations regarding capital adequacy) in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement, or the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority exercising supervisory authority over Lender or its holding company or their respective Affiliates or their activities (whether or not having the force of law), (i) any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of
24
Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, deposit insurance or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender, its holding company or their respective Affiliates or Lending Office shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting any portion of any Loan shall be imposed on Lender, its holding company or their respective Affiliates or Lending Office or the secondary Eurodollar market; or (ii) Lender, its holding company or their respective Affiliates or Lending Office is required to increase the amount of capital required to be maintained or the rate of return on capital to Lender, its holding company or their respective Affiliates or Lending Office, is reduced, and as a result of any of the foregoing there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of making, funding or maintaining any portion of any Loan, or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender, its holding company or their respective Affiliates or Lending Office, or in the rate of return to Lender, its holding company or their respective Affiliates or Lending Office, then Borrower shall from time to time, upon written notice from and demand by Lender pay to Lender within five (5) Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender against such increased cost or diminished return (but provided that Lender is also charging such additional amounts to other borrowers similarly situated as Borrower). A certificate as to the amount required to compensate Lender, submitted to Borrower by Lender, shall, except for manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.9(f) will not apply to any such increased costs or diminished return resulting from (i) Other Taxes, (ii) Taxes for which Lender has been indemnified, or is entitled to indemnification, by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid, or is required to pay, additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.15 hereof, as to which Section 2.15 shall govern, or (iii) Excluded Taxes. The provisions of this Section 2.9(f) shall survive repayment of the Loans and cancellation of this Agreement.
(g) Loss Compensation. Borrower shall compensate Lender, upon its written request (which request shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon Borrower), for all actual losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by Lender on funds borrowed by it to make or carry any LIBOR Advance to the extent not recovered by Lender in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason a Conversion to a LIBOR Advance does not occur on the date specified therefor in the relevant Notice of Continuation or Conversion, as the case may be, or (ii) if any repayment (continuation or Conversion) of a LIBOR Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period whether, in the case of repayment, such repayment is voluntary or occurs for any other reason including demand. The provisions of this Section 2.9(g) shall survive repayment of the Loans and the cancellation of this Agreement.
2.10 Termination or Reduction of the Applicable Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender, terminate or reduce the Applicable Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. Upon any such termination, the Applicable Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall automatically be deemed reduced to $0. Any reduction of the Applicable Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (other than a reduction thereof to $0 in the case of a termination) shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof.
25
2.11 Lender’s Office. Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender as its Lender’s Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any LIBOR Advance; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its Lender’s Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Prime Rate Advance and (c) change its Lender’s Office from time to time by notice to Borrower. In such event, Lender shall continue to hold the Notes, if any, evidencing its loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of the Loans in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.5 hereof.
2.12 Ranking of Loan, Scope of Recourse, Security.
(a) Priority Obligations. The Obligations of Borrower shall be senior obligations of Borrower which Borrower hereby agrees to repay upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to be a release, waiver, discharge or impairment of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents or a release of any Collateral given or to be given to secure the Obligations or otherwise in connection herewith, or shall preclude Lender from seeking to exercise its rights hereunder or under the Security Documents or exercising any power of sale contained therein or herein.
(b) Security. The Obligations of Borrower shall be secured by the Lien and security interest in the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. The Lien granted to Lender under the Security Documents shall be a first priority Lien on the Collateral thereunder.
2.13 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of (a) the Term Loan shall be used by Borrower to (i) acquire up to 100% of the limited partnership interests of Acquisition SPV that will provide indirect exposure to the PE Funds upon Acquisition SPV’s acquisition of the corresponding ownership interest in the PMF on the Acquisition Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) pay fees and expenses on the Closing Date incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and (b) the Revolving Loans shall be used by Borrower to (i) fund capital calls in accordance with Section 3.16 and (ii) pay any interest that is due and payable hereunder. Lender shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans.
2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest with respect to the Loans shall be made by Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) in the Interest Period for which such interest is payable; provided, however, that if such computation shall cause the amount of interest payable hereunder to exceed the Maximum Rate, all computations of interest shall be made upon the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. Computations of fees hereunder shall be made by Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) for the period calculated.
26
2.15 Taxes.
(a) General. Except as otherwise required by law (which, for the purposes of this Section 2.15 shall include FATCA) any and all payments by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with this Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any Governmental Authority, to the extent such items are in the nature of taxes, including interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable with respect thereto (all such imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and interest, additions and penalties with respect thereto being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). As used herein, “Excluded Taxes” means: (A) any Taxes imposed on or measured by net income or net profit (however denominated), capital or net worth, franchise Taxes, doing business Taxes, and branch profits Taxes imposed on Lender by any Governmental Authority, (B) any Taxes imposed by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Tax and Lender or Lender’s Office (except to the extent Lender designates a different Lending Office pursuant to Section 2.15(h) hereof) other than a connection arising solely from such person having executed, delivered, become party to, performed its obligations under, received or perfected a security interest under, or received payment under or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (C) any Taxes imposed as a result of any failure by Lender to comply with Section 2.15(c), and (D) any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lender, (E) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of Lender pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender makes or acquires the applicable interest in the Loans or a commitment to make Revolving Loans, other than pursuant to an assignment required by Borrower under Section 2.15(h) hereof (or, if such Lender is an intermediary, partnership or other flow through entity for U.S. tax purposes, the date on which the relevant beneficiary, partner or member of such Lender becomes a beneficiary, partner or member thereof), or (y) such Lender changes its Lender’s Office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.15, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its Lending Office, and (F) any Taxes imposed under FATCA. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan Document to Lender, and such Tax is not an Excluded Tax, then (i) the sum payable under this Agreement shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this provision) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, and (ii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and such amount paid to the relevant Governmental Authority (together with the amount paid to Lender) shall be promptly credited toward the increased amount required to be paid under subclause (i) above.
(b) Other Taxes. In addition to the payment of Taxes as above, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court, documentary, intangible, recording or filing charges or taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies, together with any interest, fees, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (including by reason of a delay in payment) which arise from payment under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or from the receipt or perfection of a
27
security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, imposed by any Governmental Authority, except for such Taxes that are imposed as a result of a transfer, assignment or participation by Lender of all or a portion of its interests herein or under any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c) Tax Forms.
(i) Lender and any assignee hereunder of Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which Lender or such assignee becomes a lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), any properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower that is prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in the rate of any withholding Tax or other Taxes indemnifiable hereunder, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law as reasonably requested by Borrower to permit Borrower to determine the amount of withholding or deduction required to be made.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or successor applicable form certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.15(a) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Sections 871(h)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form; or
28
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, or successor applicable form, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.15(b) or Exhibit 2.15(c), IRS Form W-9, or successor applicable 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 a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.15(d) on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall reasonably be requested by the recipient) from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction or information reporting required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to 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 Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower; 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 Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to Borrower, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(d) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Lender receives a refund from a Governmental Authority relating to any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15 or Section 2.9(f) or Section 8.5, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
29
refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay to Lender the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
(e) Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for the full amount of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15 payable or paid by Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date Lender makes written demand therefor, which demand shall set forth the amount paid, the basis therefor and the taxing authority paid.
(f) Evidence of Payment. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment by it of all Taxes and Other Taxes.
(g) Contest Rights. Upon the request, and at the expense, of Borrower, Lender shall reasonably afford Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Tax giving rise to an obligation to pay any additional amount or indemnity pursuant to this Section 2.15; provided that Borrower shall reimburse Lender promptly for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Tax or Other Tax; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not be required to afford Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Tax if Lender in good faith determines that to do so would have a material adverse effect on it (it being understood that the mere existence of fees, charges, costs or expenses of such party shall not be deemed to be materially disadvantageous to such party if Borrower agrees to pay such fees, charges, costs or expenses).
(h) Mitigation by Lender. Upon the occurrence of any event which would require Borrower to provide, or if Lender requests, compensation under Section 2.9(f) hereof, or which would require, or Lender requires, Borrower to pay any Taxes, additional amounts, or indemnity payments to Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15, then Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) 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, or to take such other reasonable steps, if, in the judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.9(f) or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, be materially disadvantageous to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
30
2.16 Master Collateral Account. Borrower shall, during the term hereof, maintain at Lender, at Lender’s Office, the Master Collateral Account in accordance with standard account documents of Lender. Borrower agrees that on and after the date each payment hereunder is due and owing hereunder, Lender is authorized to, and shall, debit the Master Collateral Account of Borrower by the amount of the payment owed; provided, however, that if the amount on deposit in the Master Collateral Account on the date such payment is due is less than the amount of such payment, then, no later than the date such payment is due, Borrower shall transfer funds directly to Lender in an amount equal to the difference between such deposit amount and such payment amount.
2.17 Absolute Liability of Borrower. The liability of Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other Person.
2.18 Certain Fees.
(a) Facility Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender a facility fee in consideration of making the Term Loan and establishing and maintaining the commitment to make Revolving Loans, in an aggregate amount equal to 1% of the Applicable Commitment Amount (the “Facility Fee”), which Facility Fee shall be earned, and is due and payable, on the Closing Date.
(b) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender, for the account of Lender, an unused commitment fee, at the rate of 0.50% per annum (the “Unused Commitment Fee”), on the average daily amount by which the Applicable Revolving Facility Commitment Amount exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans during the Revolving Period. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the tenth (10th) calendar day after the last day of each fiscal quarter during the Revolving Period and on the Maturity Date. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that the Unused Commitment Fee payable hereunder is a bona fide unused commitment fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to Lender for committing to make funds available to Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes.
(c) Work Fee. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that, prior to the Closing Date, Borrower paid to Lender a refundable work fee equal to $200,000 (the “Work Fee”). The Work Fee shall be credited to the payment of administrative, due diligence and legal fees payable to Lender hereunder and, if any balance remains on the Closing Date, such balance shall be credited to Borrower.
2.19 Certain Waivers, etc. Except for notice and grace periods specifically provided for herein, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest are hereby waived. The receipt by Lender of payments of interest or principal hereunder or any other sums due hereunder with knowledge on the part of Lender of the existence of a default hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of such default. No payment by Borrower or receipt by Lender of less than the full amount of interest, principal and/or the other sums due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of all such interest, principal and other sums and (except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary) shall be applied against such interest, principal and/or other sums in such manner and order as Lender shall choose in its sole and absolute discretion.
31

Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials that were prepared by Borrower are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lender that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and the actual results during the period covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results and such difference may be material.

There is no proposed Tax assessment of which Borrower has been notified in writing against Borrower which is material and is not being contested in good faith (and, in respect of which, sufficient reserves have been set aside by Borrower in accordance with applicable accounting principles).
33
3.11 Records; Chief Executive Office.

(a) General. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender may: (i) declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (ii) exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth herein and in any Security Document; or (iii) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any Legal Requirement or agreement; provided, however, that if any Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(g) or Section 7.1(t) hereof shall occur, the principal of, and all interest on, the Obligations shall thereupon become due and payable concurrently therewith, without any further action by Lender, and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives.
(b) Lender; Cumulative Rights. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower, or at law or in equity, may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Loans shall be declared due and payable. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein, or by statutes or in the other Loan Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that no right or remedy hereunder is exclusive of any other
49
right or remedy or remedies, and that each and every such right or remedy shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder under the Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, all rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies and satisfaction in full of the Obligations.
(c) Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may accelerate maturity of the Loans and any other Obligations, and demand payment of the principal sum due hereunder, with interest, advances, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including those for appellate proceedings), and enforce collection of such payment by appropriate action.
(d) Crediting of Monies Recovered. Any amounts recovered from Borrower or any other Person after an Event of Default shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Obligations and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
7.3 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement, warranty, representation or covenant contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document applicable to it shall be breached by Borrower and thereafter waived by Lender, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. The failure or delay of Lender to require performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not affect its right to require performance of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.
SECTION 8
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Amendments. Neither this 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 Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower on the other hand.
8.2 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by law or equity, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender and any assignee of Lender under this Agreement is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower or any other obligor, any such notice being waived by Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each obligor) 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, Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or any such assignee of Lender, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the Obligations owing to Lender or such assignee, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not Lender or such assignee shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Lender and any such assignee agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
50
8.3 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, 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 Lender 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 Agreement, the Note 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 Agreement, including, without limitation, the Security Documents, Lender (pursuant to the terms hereof) and Borrower may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or the rights of Lender or Borrower hereunder, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.
8.4 Payment of Expenses. Borrower agrees: (i) to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, all Attorney Costs; and (ii) to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including, without limitation, all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Lender, in each case at such times as are reasonable. Provided that an invoice has been issued therefor, all amounts due under this Section 8.4 shall be payable immediately upon demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive the repayment of all Obligations.
8.5 Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless Lender and its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower (but not including any Affiliate of Borrower which is a direct or indirect parent of Borrower); (ii) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, the Loans, the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of any
51
Loan proceeds, or the relationship of Borrower and Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (i) or (ii) above; and (iv) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable Attorney Costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 8.5 shall be payable within five (5) Business Days after demand therefor provided that reasonable documentary evidence of the same has been provided to Borrower. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall not apply to any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc., arising from any non-Tax claim), as to which Section 2.15 shall govern.

Borrower hereby submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof. Borrower consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same.
8.9 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein. If any provision of this Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
8.10 Entirety. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
8.11 Successors and Assigns.
(a) In General; Borrower Assignment, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender, and Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 8.11. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
55
(b) Assignment; Participations. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, is required for an assignment or transfer by Lender of all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the event of an assignment of all of its rights hereunder, Lender may transfer its Note to the assignee. In the event of an assignment of less than all of its rights hereunder, then in substitution for such assigned Note, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new promissory note to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the principal amount assigned to the assignee, and a new promissory note to the order of Lender in an amount equal to the principal amount retained by Lender (collectively, the “New Notes”). Such New Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such assigned Note, shall be dated the effective date of the assignment and otherwise shall be substantially identical to such assigned Note. Upon receipt of the New Notes from Lender, Borrower shall execute such New Notes and, at the reasonable expense of Lender, promptly deliver such New Notes to Lender. Upon receipt of the executed New Notes from Borrower, Lender shall return the assigned Note to Borrower. Lender and the assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments in payments under this Agreement and the assigned Note for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. In the event of an assignment of all or any portion of its rights hereunder, Lender may transfer and deliver all or any of the property then held by it as security for Borrower’s Obligations hereunder to the assignee and the assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the powers and rights herein given to Lender with respect thereto. After any such assignment or transfer, Lender shall be forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability or responsibility in the matter with respect to the property transferred, and Lender shall retain all rights and powers hereby given with respect to property not so transferred. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, is required for any participation agreement or any other agreement with any person that purports to give such person, whether upon the occurrence of any contingency or otherwise, any (1) legal or beneficial rights under this Agreement as against Borrower, (2) right to direct the exercise by Lender of any rights it may have under this Agreement as against Borrower, or (3) right to require physical delivery of any interest paid by Borrower under this Agreement under any circumstances, unless such person has agreed that it will not make further transfers of or sales of participations in any of such interests. Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or proposed participation, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or proposed participant any Information relating to Borrower furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower, provided, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or proposed participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Information related to Borrower received by it from Lender as provided in Section 8.15, provided, further, that so long as any such Person agrees to so preserve the confidentiality of any such Information, Lender shall not be responsible for any failure by any such Person to preserve the confidentiality of such Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be obligated to make any greater payment under Sections 2.9(f) or 2.15 hereof than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any such assignment, transfer or participation, except to the extent such obligation to make a greater payment results from the introduction of, or any change to or in the interpretation of, any Legal Requirement that occurs after such assignment, transfer or participation.
56
(c) Right to Pledge. Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure obligations of Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d) Register. Borrower shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders (and participants), the amount of each Lender’s commitment to make Revolving Loans hereunder and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to each Lender (and participant) pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender (or the owner of the applicable participations) hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
8.12 Maximum Interest, No Usury. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that Lender ever receives, collects or applies 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 Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Lender 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.
8.13 Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
8.14 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Loans or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
57
8.15 Confidentiality. Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to Lender’s and Lender’s Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, 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 and Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any such Person to maintain the confidentiality of the Information); (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 Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to: (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any Swap Contract relating to obligations of Borrower; (g) with the consent of Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower; 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 Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to Lender or its Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower other than any such information that is available to Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person.
8.16 Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
8.17 Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and either of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
8.18 Loan Document Completion. Upon Lender’s request from time to time, Borrower shall promptly complete or cause to be completed any and all blanks in the Loan Documents in a manner consistent with the terms hereof, and shall promptly correct any and all clerical errors contained in the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Authorized Actions”). Additionally, Borrower authorizes and gives Lender an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to perform the Authorized Actions on behalf of Borrower and, where appropriate, insert replacement pages in the Loan Documents reflecting the Authorized Actions, in each case
58
without the re-execution of the applicable Loan Documents by Borrower. Lender shall promptly forward to Borrower (or to counsel for Borrower) any and all completed or replacement pages inserted in the Loan Documents pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph. Borrower hereby ratifies the Loan Documents, as the same may be completed or changed in accordance with the terms hereof.

7) Will not make additional investments other than fulfilling capital commitments to certain Investment Funds, and investments for cash and liquidity management purposes.
In addition, the Master Fund has adopted the following investment policies:
1) the Master Fund’s investment objective is to manage a portfolio of Investment Funds and cash to preserve value while prioritizing liquidity to investors over active management, until such time as the Master Fund’s portfolio has been liquidated;
2) beginning in the second quarter 2014, the Master Fund will pay a quarterly distribution in an amount equal to the amount of the Master Fund’s Excess Cash (as defined below), but only to the extent that Excess Cash as of the end of such quarter exceeds $10 million; provided however, that upon dissolution of the Master Fund as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, Excess Cash will distributed on a quarterly basis without regard to any minimum Excess Cash threshold amount.
As an additional fundamental policy, the Master Fund may pursue its investment program through one or more subsidiary vehicles and the establishment of such vehicles and the Master Fund’s utilization thereof is wholly within the discretion of the Board.
The Master Fund’s “Excess Cash” is the amount of cash on hand over and above Required Cash and cash required to repay any outstanding borrowings. “Required Cash” is defined as the amount determined by the Adviser, with oversight by the Board, to be necessary or prudent for operational and regulatory purposes, including to meet capital commitments to certain Investment Funds and/or other compliance purposes. Required Cash is expected to generally be no more than 5% of the Master Fund’s NAV but may exceed such an amount in certain circumstances. Quarterly distributions will generally be made subject to the Master Fund having a minimum of $10 million of Excess Cash as of the end of a calendar quarter, otherwise, such Excess Cash will be distributed in the subsequent quarter or quarters where the aggregate of Excess Cash from such subsequent quarter(s) and prior quarters exceeds $10 million. The Master Fund may also make intra-quarter distributions if the Master Fund has Excess Cash of $25 million or more as of the 45th day after the end of any quarter. The Master Fund may make in-kind distributions of portfolio securities, although such distributions are unlikely in the judgment of the Adviser.
