Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that the Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized on behalf of the Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith.

(e) [Reserved.]

(f) Commitment Increases.

(1) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent given during the Availability Period, from time to time request an increase to the existing Commitments (any such increase, “New Commitments”) to an aggregate amount (including the existing Commitments and such New Commitments) not in excess of the Commitment Cap; provided that the New Commitments for each increase shall be in an amount not less than U.S.$50,000,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount equal to the difference between the Commitment Cap and the sum of the existing Commitments and such New Commitments with respect to the Loans) and, in the aggregate, not in excess of the Commitment Cap. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent or such shorter period of time as consented to by the Administrative Agent. Each such New Commitment shall be subject to consent of the Administrative Agent and Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.

(2) Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date if (A) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have consented to such New Commitments in their sole and absolute discretion, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments, (C) each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 is satisfied as if such Increased Amount Date were a Credit Date, (D) the Borrower makes any payments required pursuant to Section 2.7 and the Fee Letters in connection with such New Commitments, and (E) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

2.2. Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If the Administrative Agent has made such corresponding amount available to the Borrower but such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall on or prior to the next Payment Date pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder.

Nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.3. Use of Proceeds.

The proceeds of the Loans made hereunder shall be used solely:

(a) to Acquire Collateral Obligations (and, pending such Acquisitions, to deposit funds into the Principal Collection Account);

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to (1) any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans and (2) the identity of the other Lenders, but not any information with respect to such other Lenders’ Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.4, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent the Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees”.

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 11.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Xxxxxx’s Loans. If Notes are delivered to any Lender, the Borrower may establish commercially reasonable procedures for replacing lost or stolen Notes.

2.5. Interest on Loans.

(a) Interest Accruals.

(b) Interest Rate Determinations. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rates that shall apply to the Tranches of Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period, and shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and each Lender.

(1) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, except that any interest accruing at a Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be excluded; provided that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(2) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid and at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans, in each case in accordance with the Priority of Payments or otherwise as expressly provided herein.

(3) All calculations of interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be rounded to the nearest cent.

2.6. Default Interest.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans of each Tranche then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest thereon, Minimum Spread Payment and Make-Whole Amounts owing hereunder, shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not in and of itself constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Secured Party.

2.7. Fees; Etc.

(a) Agent Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Agents such fees (the “Agent Fees”), in the amounts and on the dates, as are set forth in the Agent Fee Letters.

(1) The Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which written notice the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by electronic means to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time after the Ramp-Up Period, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Commitments exceed the Loan Amount at the time of such proposed termination or reduction (each, a “Voluntary Commitment Reduction”); provided that:

(w) any such partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of U.S.$5,000,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess of that amount;

(x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;

(y) either:

(A) sufficient amounts are on deposit in the Principal Collection Account to pay the other amounts that will be owing in connection therewith (including any related Make-Whole Amount); or

(B) upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (which written notice the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by electronic means to each applicable Lender), no Lender determines (in its sole discretion) that there are or would be insufficient amounts otherwise available to the Borrower, including as contributions to equity by the Fund to pay the other amounts that will be owing in connection therewith (including any related Make-Whole Amount); and

(z) during the Availability Period, Voluntary Commitment Reductions shall be applied to reduce the Commitment of each Lender ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders generally.

(2) The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.

(c) Other Amounts. Each payment of principal of the Loans in connection with a Voluntary Prepayment shall be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the portion of the Loans so prepaid and (if such payment is made other than on the last day of an interest period) any related breakage costs payable under Section 2.13(g). Each Voluntary Commitment Reduction shall be accompanied by payment of any related Make-Whole Amount.

(d) Non-Waterfall Payments. Voluntary Prepayments and payment of amounts under clause (c) above shall not be subject to the Priority of Payments but instead shall be made solely out of Principal Proceeds or Interest Proceeds then on deposit in the Collection Accounts; provided that Interest Proceeds shall not be applied to make Voluntary Prepayments or pay amounts under clause (c) above unless, after giving effect to such payment, there shall be sufficient Interest Proceeds available in the Interest Collection Account to make all payments of interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the next Payment Date, with any remaining unpaid amounts to be paid out of Principal Proceeds and Interest Proceeds thereafter received in the Transaction Accounts until paid in full, and all amounts that continue to be owing on and after the next Payment Date shall be payable under the Priority of Payments.

2.9. Required Principal Payments.

(a) Scheduled Amortization.

(1) Principal of the Loans will be repayable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(2) Without limiting clause (1) above, during the Amortization Period, at the time of each Disposition of or other realization of Principal Proceeds on a Collateral Obligation, the Borrower shall repay principal of the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the related Individual Realization Application Amount and deposit the remaining Proceeds in the Principal Collection Account as Principal Proceeds.

(3) On the Maturity Date the Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of the Loans that are then outstanding.

(b) Clean-Up. Upon the occurrence of a Clean-Up Call Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in full (a “Clean-Up Call Prepayment”).

(c) Non-Waterfall Payments. Payments of Individual Realization Application Amounts under clause (a)(2) above and the Clean-Up Call Prepayment under clause (b) above shall not be subject to the Priority of Payments but instead shall be made solely out of Principal Proceeds or Interest Proceeds then on deposit in the Collection Accounts; provided that Interest Proceeds shall not be applied to pay such amounts unless, after giving effect to such payment, there shall be sufficient Interest Proceeds available in the Interest Collection Account to make all payments of interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the next Payment Date, with any remaining unpaid amounts to be paid out of Principal Proceeds and Interest Proceeds thereafter received in the Transaction Accounts until paid in full, and all amounts that continue to be owing on and after the next Payment Date shall be payable under the Priority of Payments.

(d) Application. Prepayments under this Section 2.9 shall be applied to the Loans ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders generally.

2.10. [Reserved].

2.11. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower shall be made in USD in same day funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due therefor. For purposes of computing interest and fees, funds deposited after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made on the Payment Dates in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived or cured, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 9 or pursuant to any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, all payments or proceeds received by Agents in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the Enforcement Priority of Payments.

2.12. Ratable Sharing.

The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or under analogous provisions of any other Debtor Relief Law, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part

of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (2) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.

2.13. Making or Maintaining Floating Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice to the Borrowers and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) such Loans shall bear interest at a rate based on (1) Daily Simple SOFR, (2) the Agreed-Upon Replacement or (3) the Base Rate (in order of the foregoing priority pursuant to clauses (1) through (3)), until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist has been selected, and (ii) any Funding Notice given by the Borrowers with respect to such Loans shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrowers or, at the election of the Borrowers, a request that such Loans be made bearing interest based on the applicable Base Rate instead of such Floating Rate.

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

(1) Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction 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 Requisite Lenders. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, all Loans outstanding hereunder will be converted to Loans that bear interest at a rate based on (1) Daily Simple SOFR, (2) the Agreed-Upon Replacement or (3) the Base Rate (in order of the foregoing priority pursuant to clauses (1) through (3)).

(2) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(3) 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. 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, 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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

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

(c) Illegality or Impracticability of Floating Rate Loans. If on any date (i) any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Loans has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Requisite Lenders (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of their Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the relevant interbank market or the position of the Lenders in that interbank market, then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or in the

case of the preceding clause (i), such Lender) shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Affected Lender shall on that day give notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or (y) a notice from Lenders constituting Requisite Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then (A) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make additional Loans shall be suspended until such time as such circumstances cease to exist (at which time such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender); (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice, such Funding Notice shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower (or, at the election of the Borrower, be deemed to be a request that such Loan be made bearing interest based on the applicable Base Rate); (C) the Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Loans that bear interest based on the applicable Floating Rate (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (D) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Loans that bear interest at the applicable Base Rate plus the Spread per annum on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(c), to rescind such Funding Notice as to all Lenders by giving written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).

(d) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Lender may sustain as a result of any of the following:

(1) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing;

(2) if any prepayment or other principal payment of any of the Loans, or any Conversion of a Loan occurs, on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (other than prepayments and principal payments required hereunder to be made on a date other than a Payment Date); or

(3) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(e) Booking of Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(f) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.13 and under Section 2.14 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Loans through the purchase of a deposit relating to such Loans bearing interest at the applicable Floating Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such deposit relating to such Loans from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided that each Lender may fund each of its Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.13 and under Section 2.14.

2.14. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), if any Lender shall determine that any Change in Law: (1) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender to any additional Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; (2) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or any company controlling such Lender; or (3) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender or such Lender’s obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or in a lump sum or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.14(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (1) any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or (2) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender with any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any company controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Xxxxxx’s Loans, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling company on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.14(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(c) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower 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-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

2.15. Taxes; Withholding, Etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law.

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person (acting as a withholding agent) is (in such withholding agent’s reasonable good faith discretion) required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Transaction Documents: (1) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement reasonably promptly after the Borrower becomes aware of it and the Borrower or any other Person (acting as a withholding agent) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold such Tax; (2) the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, any such Tax before the date on

which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender; (3) and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any such Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.15), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (4) within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (2) above to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant taxing authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, two copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Xxxxxx, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (2) two copies of executed IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)

and (y) two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, two copies of executed IRS Form W-9, 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 B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower two new copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax or backup withholding tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Transaction Documents, or notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its legal inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(d) FATCA. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender 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 this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

(e) Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(b), the Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Other Taxes payable hereunder reasonably promptly after payment of such Other Taxes.

(f) Borrower Indemnity. The Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agents and any Lender, as applicable, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes for which additional amounts are required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(b) arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any such Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or

attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and demand must be delivered to such Credit Party and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such payment shall be due within ten days of such Credit Party’s receipt of such certificate and demand.

(g) Lender Indemnity. Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent for (1) Taxes for which additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.15(b) arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any such Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent therefor and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so); (2) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(g)(1) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (3) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction 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. Such payment shall be due within ten days of such Xxxxxx’s receipt of such certificate. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to an Agent under this paragraph (g).

(h) Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit (in lieu of such refund) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or credit (in lieu of such refund) (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit (in lieu of such refund)), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit (in lieu of such refund)). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if such indemnified party is required to repay such refund or credit (in lieu of such refund) to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified

party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund or credit (in lieu of such refund) had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.16. Obligation to Mitigate.

Each Lender agrees that, if such Lender requests payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, then such Lender will, to the extent not inconsistent with any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions or Commitments, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender if, as a result thereof, the additional amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future would be reasonably expected to be eliminated or reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.16 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) must be submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.17. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Xxxxxx’s breach

of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.18. Removal or Replacement of a Lender.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if:

(a) (1) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, (2) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (3) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or

(b) during the Availability Period, any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default pursuant to Section 2.17(b) within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or

(c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 11.5(b), the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained,

then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans in full to one or more Eligible Assignees identified by the Borrower (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased-Cost Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender; provided that:

(1) such Replacement Lender shall have consented to such assignment and be ready to execute and deliver all relevant assignment documentation and to perform all of its obligations in connection therewith;

(2) the Borrower, such Terminated Lender, the Administrative Agent and any other Person whose consent is required for such assignment shall have received all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act;

(3) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Terminated Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender hereunder;

(4) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(g), 2.14 or 2.15; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment;

(5) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law;

(6) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(7) if such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender.

Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Xxxxxx as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment

in accordance with Section 11.6. If a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.6. Any removal of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or its successor as a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the removal of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or its successor as the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.7.

2.19. Obligations Absolute.

The Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of each Agent and the Lenders (hereinafter, the “Beneficiaries”): (1) 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; (2) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (3) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (4) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and any right to consent to any thereof; and (5) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

As of the Closing Date, other than any capital commitments or other rights of a member or other equity holder as of the Closing Date to make capital contributions to the Borrower, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which the Borrower is a party requiring, and there is no membership interest or other Equity Interests of the Borrower outstanding which upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by the Borrower of any additional membership interests or other Equity Interests of it or other Securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase, a membership interest or other Equity Interests of such Person.

No Credit Party (a) is in violation of any applicable laws that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8. Payment of Taxes.

Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, all U.S. federal and other material Tax returns and reports covering the Credit Parties required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed (taking into account any applicable extensions), and all U.S. federal and other material Taxes which are due and payable and all assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Credit Parties and upon their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable (taking into account any applicable extensions), except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings (and for which there are adequate reserves maintained in accordance with GAAP) and (b) to the extent that the failure to so file or pay, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Grantor has good, sufficient and legal title to its properties and assets. Except as permitted by this Agreement, all such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. No Grantor owns or leases any real estate.

4.10. No Defaults

Neither the Borrower nor the Equity Holder is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the material obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its contractual obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Credit Party (other than the Fund) is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The business and other activities of the Credit Parties, including the making of the Loans hereunder, the application of the proceeds thereof and repayment thereof by the Borrower and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, do not result in a violation or breach in any material respect of the provisions of the Investment Company Act or any rules, regulations or orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, in each case that are applicable to the Credit Parties.

4.13. Federal Reserve Regulations

No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, that causes such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U or Regulation X.

4.14. Pension Plans

Neither the Equity Holder, the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan. No ERISA Event has occurred, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expect to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The assets of the Borrower are not treated as “plan assets” for purposes of Section 3(42) of ERISA.

4.15. Solvency

Each Credit Party is and, upon the incurrence of any Obligation by any Credit Party on any date on which this representation and warranty is made, will be, on a consolidated basis with its consolidated group (if applicable), solvent.

4.16. Compliance with Statutes, Etc.

Each Credit Party is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property, except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.17. Disclosure

No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Transaction Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to any Agent or Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby taken as a whole contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to the Borrower, in the case of any document not furnished by them) necessary in order to make the statements contained

herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to any Credit Party (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, after giving effect to the delivery of any Financial and Other Information and any and all updates and deliveries to the Administrative Agent or Lenders from time to time. Without limitation to the foregoing, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects

4.18. Sanctioned Persons; Anti-Corruption Laws; PATRIOT Act

No Credit Party nor any of its directors, officers or Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of Borrower, employees or agents, is the subject of any sanctions or economic embargoes administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of State or the U.S. Department of Treasury (including the Office of Foreign Assets Control), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, or Her Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom (collectively, “Sanctions”, and the associated laws, rules, regulations and orders, collectively, “Sanctions Laws”).

No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, indirectly, (A) for the purpose of financing any activities or business of or with any Person or in any country or territory that at such time is the subject of any Sanctions, if such financing would result in a violation of Sanctions Laws, or (B) for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Law.

SECTION 5. COVENANTS

The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any Commitment is in effect and until payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted), the Borrower shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants set forth in this Section 5.

5.1. Compliance with Laws, Etc.

The Borrower will comply in all material respects with applicable laws, rules, regulations, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees, awards and orders with respect to it, its business and its properties.

(1) have a board of directors separate from that of any other person (although members of the board of directors of the Borrower may serve as directors of one or more Affiliates of the Borrower);

(2) file its own tax returns, if any, as may be required under applicable law (to the extent (x) not part of a consolidated group filing a consolidated return or returns or (y) not treated as a division for tax purposes of another taxpayer) and pay any taxes so required to be paid under applicable law;

(3) not commingle its assets with assets of any other person;

(6) maintain separate financial statements (it being understood that, if the Borrower’s financial statements are part of a consolidated group with its Affiliates, then any such consolidated statements shall contain a note indicating the Borrower’s separateness from any such Affiliates and that its assets are not available to pay the debts of such Affiliate);

(1) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Collateral;

(2) maintain or preserve the lien (and the priority thereof) under the Collateral Documents and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or to carry out more effectively the purposes hereof and thereof;

(7) give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any Financing Statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents or under the other Transaction Documents or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder and thereunder with respect to such pledge and security interest, and hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file Financing Statements listing ‘all assets’ of the debtor in the collateral description of such Financing Statements.

The Borrower hereby designate the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrower to file, upon Borrower Order, any Financing Statement, continuation statement or other instrument required pursuant to this Section 5.4; provided that such appointment shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent any of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 5.4. The Borrower shall cause to be filed one or more continuation statements under the applicable UCC (it being understood that the Borrower (and to the extent the Collateral Agent takes any action, the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel, including a Lien Opinion, as to the need to file such Financing Statements and continuation statements, the dates by which such filings are required to be made and the jurisdictions in which such filings are required to be made).

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not (1) except in accordance with Section 6.7(a), (b) or (c), as applicable, remove any portion of the Collateral that consists of Cash or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other writing (A) from the jurisdiction in which it was held at the date the most recent Lien Opinion was delivered pursuant hereto or (B) from the possession of the Person who held it on such date or (2) cause or permit ownership or the pledge of any portion of the Collateral that consists of book entry securities to be recorded on the books of a Person (A) located in a different jurisdiction from the jurisdiction in which such ownership or pledge was recorded at such date or (B) other than the Person on whose books such ownership or pledge was recorded at such date, unless the Collateral Agent shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Agreement with respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

Each of the Collateral Agent, any custodian acting on its behalf, the Collateral Administrator Parties and the Bank acting as Accounts Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to assume the genuineness, validity and enforceability of each such note, certificate, instrument and agreement delivered to it in connection with the delivery of a Collateral Obligation, and to assume that each is what it purports on its face to be, and to assume the genuineness and due authority of all signatures appearing thereon.

(b) Nothing in this Section 6 shall impose upon the Accounts Securities Intermediary the duties, obligations or liabilities of the Collateral Agent; and nothing herein shall impose upon the Collateral Agent the duties, obligations or liabilities of the Accounts Securities Intermediary.

8.1. Sales of Collateral Obligations.

(a) Sales. Neither the Borrower nor the Services Provider on their behalf may Dispose (or direct the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, to Dispose) any Collateral Obligation unless:

(1) such Disposition is on arm’s length terms, the Disposition price is a least equal to the portion of the Borrowing Base Value for such Collateral Obligation that corresponds to the portion of the Asset Amortized Amount of such Collateral Obligation that is the subject of such Disposition; or

(2) the Administrative Agent has consented to such Disposition (in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that the Administrative Agent shall consent to any Disposition that is part of a Permitted Material Securitization).

The Administrative Agent shall have the right to dispute the arm’s length nature of any Disposition (other than the Disposition of a Syndicated First Lien Collateral Obligation at a price at least equal to its current Market Value) by procuring a Firm Bid for the Collateral Obligation that is the subject of such Disposition, and if the price for such Collateral Obligation as set forth in any such Firm Bid is greater than the sale price as determined by the Borrower or the Services Provider, then such Disposition shall not be permitted unless such sale price is modified to be not less than the price set forth in such Firm Bid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 8.1(b), upon prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may:

(I) sell (x) any Collateral Obligation (or portion thereof) that results in an Excess Concentration Amount, (y) any asset that is neither a Collateral Obligation nor an Eligible Investment or that has a Borrowing Base Value of zero, (i) to third parties on an arm’s length basis, or (ii) on arm’s length terms to Affiliates of the Borrower that are the Equity Holder or bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities; provided that such Affiliates (other than the Equity Holder) are also subject to restrictions on sales of Collateral Obligations to Affiliates which are substantially equivalent to those set forth in (b) below, in each case if and only if (A) the Borrower provides not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders setting forth in reasonable detail the portion of the Collateral Obligations to be transferred and the terms of such sales, including proceeds to be received by the Borrower, (B) no Default, Event of Default, Extraordinary Event, WAPG Deficiency or Borrowing Base Deficiency (determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Disposition) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom (except in the case of Dispositions made to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency or WAPG Deficiency) and (C) the Borrower shall have received written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) in this paragraph are satisfied, provided that the Administrative Agent shall make reasonable efforts to provide such confirmation in a timely manner; or

(II) dividend or distribute to the Equity Holder any asset that is neither a Collateral Obligation nor an Eligible Investment, that has a Borrowing Base Value of zero if (A) no Default, Event of Default, Extraordinary Event or WAPG Deficiency (determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such dividend or distribution) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom (B) the Borrower provides not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the

135

Lenders setting forth in reasonable detail the portion of the Collateral Obligation or other asset to be transferred, (C) after giving effect to such Disposition, the Borrowing Base is at least 105% of the Loan Amount and (D) the Borrower receives prior written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that clauses (A) through (C) are satisfied;

(III) no more than twice in each calendar month dividend or distribute to the Equity Holder any Collateral Obligation if (A) the Borrower provides not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders setting forth in reasonable detail the portion of the Collateral Obligations to be transferred, (B) no Default, Event of Default, Extraordinary Event or WAPG Deficiency (determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such dividend or distribution) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (C) after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, the Borrowing Base is at least 105% of the Loan Amount, (D) the Excess Distribution Requirements are satisfied and (E) the Administrative Agent has not notified the Borrower in writing within five (5) Business Days after receiving such notice of its determination, in its reasonable discretion, that the conditions set forth in this clause (III) would not be satisfied in connection with such dividend or distribution);

provided, in each case under this Section 8.1(a), that the Borrower has provided notice to the Lenders setting forth the price at which such Collateral Obligation is proposed to be sold.

(b) Limit on Affiliate Sales. Borrower shall provide prior notice to the Lenders setting forth the price at which such Collateral Obligation is proposed to be sold. Unless otherwise consented to by the Requisite Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations (other than any Excess Concentration Amount, any transfer in connection with a Permitted Material Securitization and any Collateral Obligation or other asset that has a Borrowing Base Value of zero) sold pursuant hereto to the Equity Holder or an Affiliate thereof (but excluding Collateral Obligations transferred as provided in Section 8.2(f)) in any fiscal year shall not in aggregate exceed 20% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance; provided for the avoidance of doubt that any such disposition shall be in compliance with Section 8.1(a)(i) above.

(c) Application of Sale Proceeds and Principal Proceeds. During and after the Reinvestment Period, all Sale Proceeds and Principal Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments applicable thereto on the next succeeding Payment Date. During the Reinvestment Period, amounts received in the Principal Collection Account, or deposited in the Principal Collection Account under the Principal Priority of Payments, may be applied to the Acquisition of Collateral Obligations (or may be deposited in or retained in the Principal Collection Account for investment in Eligible Investments pending Acquisition of Collateral Obligations) in each case in accordance with this Agreement. After the Reinvestment Period, no Principal Proceeds may be reinvested by the Borrower in Collateral Obligations at any time.

136

(d) Sales of Eligible Investments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the Borrower, the Services Provider or the Collateral Agent may at any time sell or permit the sale of any Eligible Investment (other than an Rule 2a7 money market fund) if the Borrower or the Services Provider determines that such Eligible Investment will sell at a price that is below the Borrower’s purchase price of such Eligible Investment.

(e) Collateral Acquisition and Disposition Terms. Any transaction involving the Acquisition or sale of Collateral effected under this Agreement shall be conducted on terms no less favorable (to its knowledge) to the Borrower than terms prevailing in the market (as determined by the Services Provider in its business judgment, such judgment not to be called into questions by the occurrence of subsequent events). All sales of Collateral Obligations or any portion thereof pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be for Cash on a non-recourse basis to the Borrower.

(f) Sales Prior to Stated Maturity. On or prior to the date that is two Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, but no earlier than the date that is 90 Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Borrower shall sell all Collateral Obligations and other securities to the extent necessary such that the Borrower will have sufficient funds to make payment of all amounts due on the Scheduled Maturity Date. The settlement dates for any such sales of Collateral Obligations and other securities shall be no later than two Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date.

(g) Reinvestment in Collateral Obligations. Whenever the Services Provider is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to direct the reinvestment of Sale Proceeds or Principal Proceeds on behalf of the Borrower under this Section 8.1, such reinvestment shall be subject to market conditions and the availability and suitability of available investments.

Following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default or the occurrence and continuation of Cause under the Corporate Services Agreements (and after the application of any cure or grace periods), the Services Provider shall obtain the written consent of the Requisite Lenders before acting on behalf of, or otherwise directing, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or any other person in connection with a sale of Collateral Obligations pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(i) each proposed Acquisition of a Collateral Obligation shall be submitted in writing for approval to the Administrative Agent, and each such submission shall:

137

(A) either:

(x) certify that such Collateral Obligation will upon its Acquisition satisfy each of the elements in the definition of such term, satisfies each of the Collateral Obligation Criteria and satisfies each of the Collateral Portfolio Requirements; or

(y) identify each element in the definition of “Collateral Obligation” or in the “Collateral Obligation Criteria” that is not met (with a description in reasonable detail of each such deviation), each of the Collateral Portfolio Requirements that would not be met after giving effect to such Acquisition and whether such Collateral Obligation is a Future Funding Collateral Obligation;

(ii) (x) the Administrative Agent shall specify whether, as to the Lenders, such Collateral Obligation is a “Private Asset” or a “Non-Private Asset”; (y) the Services Provider shall specify whether, as to the Borrower and its Affiliates, such Collateral Obligation is a “Private Asset” or a “Non-Private Asset” (in its sole and absolute discretion); and (z) if and only if both the Requisite Lenders and the Services Provider have designated such Collateral Obligation as a “Private Asset”, then such Collateral Obligation shall be designated as a “Private Asset” hereunder (and, in all other cases, such Collateral Obligation shall be designated as a “Non-Private Asset” hereunder);

(iii) the following information with respect to such Collateral Obligation (collectively, the “Diligence Information”), together with a Document Checklist for such Collateral Obligation, shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and made available to the Lenders and the Collateral Custodian (it being understood that compliance with any applicable confidentiality restrictions will be required before such delivery, and the Services Provider will use its best efforts to enable the Lenders to deliver applicable confidentiality agreements or otherwise to comply with such restrictions):

(v) (1) with respect to Collateral Obligations that are not Originated Collateral Obligations, copies of all related documents referenced in clause (a) of the definition of “Underlying Instrument” relating to such Collateral Obligation and (2) with respect to Originated Collateral Obligations, copies of all related Draft Instruments and the IC Memorandum relating to such Collateral Obligations;

(z) solely to the extent in the Services Provider’s possession, all other information customary and typical in performing a detailed credit analysis and as may be reasonably requested by the Requisite Lenders, including corporate organization charts of the obligors (to the extent available to the Services Provider) and information concerning the relationship of such obligor to the Borrower and the Services Provider and their respective Affiliates (provided that such documents shall not be deemed to be Custody Documents hereunder);

(iv) upon receipt of the request for approval and all Diligence Information, within five Business Days, the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) shall either (x) approve the Acquisition of such Collateral Obligation (and, in connection with such approval, determine the Assigned Price, Advance Rate and Initial FX Rate for such Collateral Obligation as of the approval date and the Additional Value Adjustment Events (if any) for such Collateral Obligation), or (y) reject the Acquisition of such Collateral Obligation (any such rejected Acquisition, an “Actual Rejected Acquisition”);

(v) at the time of such Acquisition, the Borrower shall comply with its obligations under Section 6.7(e) or (f), as applicable; and

139

Upon reasonable request by the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall from time to time provide to the Borrower its good faith estimate of the expected Assigned Price of any potential Collateral Obligation.

The Lenders will be deemed to have waived any of the requirements in the definition of “Collateral Obligation”, any of the requirements in the Collateral Obligation Criteria and any deviation from the Collateral Portfolio Requirements not otherwise permitted hereunder (each, a “Portfolio Waiver”) if (and only if) (1) each such deviation or non-compliance is expressly disclosed to the Lenders in writing pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) and (2) after receipt of such writing, the Specified Lender Parties have expressly consented in writing to the Acquisition of such Collateral Obligation hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, no Collateral Obligations shall be Acquired by the Borrower unless consent of the Requisite Lenders and, in the case of an Acquisition requiring a Portfolio Waiver, the Specified Lender Parties (in their sole and absolute discretion) has been obtained therefor.

(b) In connection with the holding of a Collateral Obligation by the Borrower, and for as long as such Collateral Obligation remains part of the Collateral Portfolio, the Borrower, or the Services Provider on its behalf, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide:

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Borrower (nor the Services Provider on its behalf) will at any time Commit to Acquire any Collateral Obligation unless at the time of such Commitment the Borrower, in its commercially reasonable judgment, believe there is or will be an amount of funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account in the relevant currency, together with amounts that may be borrowed hereunder in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, that is equal to or greater than the full amount required by the Borrower to Acquire such Collateral Obligation (and all other Collateral Obligations that the Borrower has Committed to Acquire but that have not yet settled).

140

(f) In connection with the Acquisition of any Collateral Obligation, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time of such Acquisition, shall agree whether such Collateral Obligation is a Pre-Approved Cure Collateral Obligation and the total principal amount, in excess of the Borrower’s initial Acquisition, that the Borrower may Acquire to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency.

Any portion of the net proceeds of any Loans hereunder that is not invested in Collateral Obligations at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day during the Reinvestment Period shall, on the next succeeding Business Day or as soon as practicable thereafter, be invested in Eligible Investments as directed by the Services Provider in writing (which may be in the form of standing instructions).

141

The Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as promptly as practicable on or after each Acquisition of Collateral Obligations, either an amended Schedule of Collateral Obligations or a list of Collateral Obligations setting forth all Collateral Obligations Acquired by the Borrower on or prior to such date, which schedule or list shall supersede any prior Schedule of Collateral Obligations delivered hereunder and which schedule or list shall include all Collateral Obligations held as of such date.

8.5. Amendments to Underlying Instruments.

(a) In the performance of its obligations hereunder, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower (or the Services Provider on its behalf) may enter into any amendment or waiver of, or supplement to, any Underlying Instrument (each, an “Amendment”); provided that:

(1) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a summary of such Amendment, along with a description of the rationale of such request and the then-most recent available draft documentation in connection therewith (each, a “Draft Amendment Package”) and provide notice to the Lenders thereof (it being understood that posting such Draft Amendment Package to the Transaction Data Room does not constitute delivery or notice, as applicable, for such purposes but that notice to the Lenders that a Draft Amendment Package is available in the Transaction Data Room does constitute notice to the Lenders for such purpose) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Amendment (the period prior to the Administrative Agent taking action with respect to such Draft Amendment Package or the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, the related “Approval Period”);

(1) ~~(2)~~ if such Amendment is a Material Amendment or otherwise would effect a Specified Change (as determined by the Borrower in its commercially reasonable discretion):

(A) ~~a Value Adjustment Event shall occur with respect to the related Collateral Obligation (whether or not such Amendment has been consented to or rejected by~~the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent xxxxx the Lenders~~) as provided in the definitions of “Value Adjustment Event” and “Specified Change”; and~~ a copy of such Material Amendment promptly (and in any case within five (5) Business Days) following receipt thereof;

(B) unless (i) the Administrative Agent has expressly consented to such Amendment (such consent to be granted or withheld in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion) or (ii) the Administrative Agent (x) has received from the Borrower a second notice of such Amendment five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the Draft Amendment Package and (y) shall fail to object to such Amendment

142

within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of such second notice, the Borrowing Base Value of such Collateral Obligation shall be zero upon the effective date of such Amendment; provided that the Requisite Lenders acting in a commercially reasonable manner may (so long as the Administrative Agent has not already provided consent thereto) object to such Amendment by providing notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable to the Administrative Agent, in which case the Borrowing Base Value of the such Collateral Obligation shall be zero upon the delivery of such notice;

(B) the Administrative Agent may within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the Material Amendment, inform the Borrower in writing that it has determined that a Value Adjustment Event shall occur with respect to the related Collateral Obligation as a result of such Material Amendment or other Specified Change (a “Specified Change Determination”); provided that, if the Administrative Agent shall fail to respond within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of such Material Amendment, then no Specified Change Determination shall occur and no Value Adjustment Event shall result from the execution of such Amendment;

(C) the Borrower shall deliver executed copies of all such Amendments to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders promptly (and in any case within five (5) Business Days) following execution thereof.

(2) ~~(3)~~ if such Amendment ~~constitutes~~is not a Material Amendment ~~(but does~~and would not otherwise ~~constitute~~effect a Specified Change) but the Administrative Agent has provided written notice within the Approval Period that the Administrative Agent will not treat such Amendment as a Value Adjustment Event, then no Value Adjustment Event shall result from the execution of such Amendment. (as determined by the Borrower in its commercially reasonable discretion):

(A) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the last Business Day of February, May, August and November of each year (each, a “Non-Material Amendment Delivery Date”), executed copies of any such Amendment executed during the three-month period preceding such Non-Material Amendment Delivery Date;

(B) if within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of such Amendment, the Administrative Agent determines in its commercially reasonable discretion that such Amendment constitutes a Material Amendment or otherwise effects a Specified Change, the Administrative Agent may inform the Borrower in writing that a Specified Change Determination has occurred with respect to the related Collateral Obligation as a result of such Material Amendment or other Specified Change.

143

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (or the Services Provider on their behalf) may not enter into any Amendment with respect to any Collateral Obligation unless the Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented to such Amendment in their sole and absolute discretion. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowing Base Value of any Collateral Obligation that is the subject of a Specified Change or an Amendment for which the Requisite Lenders has not granted their consent shall be zero.

(c) The Borrower shall deliver executed copies of all Amendments to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within three Business Days of execution thereof, which executed documentation shall be consistent in all material respect with the documentation included in the Draft Amendment Package, unless otherwise consented to by the Requisite Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 8.5, the Borrower may extend the delivery dates for underlying deliverables (i.e. financial statements, officer certificates and similar documentary items) under the Underlying Instruments for each Collateral Obligation, in each case up to a maximum of 30 days, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 10. THE AGENTS

10.1. Appointment of Agents.

(a) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx is hereby appointed Syndication Agent xxxxxxxxx, and each Lender hereby authorizes Xxxxxxx Xxxxx to act as Syndication Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Transaction Documents. The Syndication Agent, without consent of or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates. As of the Closing Date, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, in its capacity as Syndication Agent, shall not have any obligations but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 10. The Syndication Agent may resign from such role at any time, with immediate effect, by giving prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

148

(b) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx is xxxxxx appointed the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes Xxxxxxx Xxxxx to act as the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Transaction Documents.

(c) State Street Bank and Trust Company is xxxxxx appointed the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, and each Lender hereby authorizes it to act as Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

(d) Each Agent xxxxxx agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express provisions contained herein and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Section 10. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Xxxxxxx and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party. No implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Custodian or the Accounts Securities Intermediary 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights granted to the Agents in the Transaction Documents shall not be construed as duties.

10.2. Powers and Duties.

Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Xxxxxx’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and each Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and responsibilities as are express specified herein and therein. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees, and no Agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any such agent or employee appointed by it with due care. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person; and nothing herein or any of the other Transaction Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

149

The Agents shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them (1) at the direction of the Borrower or the Services Provider as provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (2) with the consent of or at the request or direction of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such request or direction hereunder), or, solely with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian with the consent of or at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or (3) in the absence of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final non-appealable judgment.

The Lenders hereby direct each of the Agents, as applicable, to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which they are a party, respectively, on or prior to the Closing Date and to execute and deliver additional Transaction Documents from time to time (upon written direction by the Requisite Lenders or, solely with respect to the Collateral Custodian, upon written direction by the Administrative Agent). It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in taking any of the foregoing actions, the Agents are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under pursuant to, the Transaction Documents, the Agents each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to them under this Agreement (in addition to those that may be granted to them under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

10.3. General Immunity.

(a) No Agent shall be responsible to any Person for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Transaction Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Transaction Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence and continuation of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.

150

(b) No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Transaction Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions hereunder) or, solely with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian, written instructions in respect thereof from the Administrative Agent and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be) or the Administrative Agent, such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (1) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any resolution, officer’s certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, communication, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for such Agent or any Credit Party), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (2) no Lender or any other person shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions hereunder) or the Administrative Agent. For all purposes herein and the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian may accept and act upon instructions and consents provided by the Administrative Agent as if such instructions and consents were provided by the Requisite Lenders directly.

(c) Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent, provided that the Administrative Agent may do so only with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld). Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates (each also a “sub-agent”). The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any Affiliates, receivers, delegates or sub-agents of the Agents and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein (in the case of the Syndication Agent) as well as any other activities as the Agents. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent, receiver or delegate and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, receiver or delegate, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent, receiver or delegate as

151

if such sub-agent, receiver or delegate and its respective Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Agents and each receiver and delegate, (1) such sub-agent, receiver or delegate shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Credit Parties and the Lenders, (2) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, receiver or delegate, and (3) such sub-agent, receiver or delegate shall only have obligations to the respective Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent, receiver or delegate. The Agents shall not be responsible for the conduct of such sub-agents, receivers, delegates or attorneys appointed by them with due care.

(d) No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Make-Whole Event unless and until written notice describing such circumstance or event is given to an Authorized Officer of such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender and states that it is a notice of such circumstance or event. In the absence of receipt of such notice, each Agent may conclusively assume that there is no Default, Event of Default or Make-Whole Event. Upon receipt of any such notice, the relevant Agent shall have no duty or obligation in connection therewith unless and until directed by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such direction hereunder) or, with respect to directions to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent. No Agent shall have any duty to take any action to determine whether any such circumstance or event has occurred. Except as expressly provided herein, delivery of reports, documents and other information to any Agent is for informational purposes only and such Agent’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any event or circumstance or any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein or any other related document. Except with respect to written notices of Defaults and Events of Default of which an Authorized Officer of the applicable Agent has actual knowledge, information contained in notices, reports or other documents delivered to such Agent and other publicly available information shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge. In the absence of receipt of such notice or knowledge, the applicable Agent may conclusively assume that there is no Default or Event of Default. Knowledge of notices or other documents delivered to any Agent in any capacity shall not constitute knowledge of or delivery to (1) such Agent in any other capacity under the Transaction Documents or to any Affiliate or other division of such Agent or (2) any other Agent. The Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian shall not have any duty, obligation or liability to access the Transaction Data Room unless directed to do so by the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent.

152

(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under the Transaction Documents are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral, shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers and are subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to protect, preserve or exercise rights against any Person with respect to any of the Collateral (except to the extent expressly required in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party) and the Collateral Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it to the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, no Agent shall have any obligation to take any discretionary action under this Agreement or any Transaction Document and before taking or omitting any action to be taken or omitted by an Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, such Agent may seek the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or, solely with respect to direction to a Bank Party, a Collateral Administrator Party or the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent (which written direction may be in the form of an e-mail), and such Agent shall be entitled to rely (and shall be fully protected in so relying) upon such direction. The Agents shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such direction. In absence of such direction with respect to any action or inaction, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until such Agent shall have received such direction, and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. In the absence of an express statement in the Transaction Documents regarding which Lender shall direct in any circumstance, the direction of the Requisite Lenders shall apply and be sufficient for all purposes. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents authorizing any Agent to take any action shall not obligate such Agent to take such action.

(g) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant to the Transaction Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority. No Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral.

153

(h) No Agent shall be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any Agent have any responsibility or liability with respect to any instrument, certificate or report furnished pursuant to the Transaction Documents, or with respect to any calculations not expressly to be determined by such Agent.

(i) No Agent shall ever be required to use, risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers under this Agreement or under the other Transaction Documents (and, without limiting the foregoing, no Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have any obligation to grant any credit extension or to make any advance hereunder). In no event shall any Agent be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages (including lost profits), even if such Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes, terrorist attacks or other disasters.

(j) Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such advice or concurrence hereunder or thereunder) or, solely with respect to a Bank Party, a Collateral Administrator Party or the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent (and shall not be liable for any loss or expense that arises as a result of its failure to act while awaiting such advice or concurrence) and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders) against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting to take any such action.

154

(m) If any Agent shall require any information to perform its duties under the Transaction Documents, the Borrower shall provide, or shall instruct the Services Provider to provide, such information to such Agent promptly upon request, in each case so long as such information is within the possession of the Borrower or the Services Provider and is able to be delivered without breaching any obligations of confidentiality or other contractual or similar restrictions.

(n) At any time and from time to time, the Collateral Agent may request information from the Administrative Agent as to the identity of the Requisite Lenders or any other Lender, and the Administrative Agent will endeavor to provide such information reasonably promptly. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to fully rely on such information from the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty, obligation or liability with respect to the identity or amount of Loans held by any Lender or the calculation of the Requisite Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request and receive from the Administrative Agent all necessary information in respect of each Lender for purposes of making distributions to such Lender hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any action hereunder as a result of a failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent (or the related Lender) to provide such information to the Collateral Agent.

(o) Each Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to such Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(p) No Agent shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be finally proved that the Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(q) No Agent shall have any duty (1) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any Transaction Documents referred to herein or any Financing Statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (2) to see to any insurance or (3) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied in connection with this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 2.15).

(r) No Agent nor any of its officers or employees shall be required to ascertain whether any borrowing hereunder (or any amendment or termination of this Agreement) has been duly authorized or is in compliance with any other agreement to which the Borrower is a party (whether or not the Agent is also a party to such other agreement).

(s) No Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Agreement.

155

(t) No Agent shall be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, any Person’s compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under this Agreement or any other related document.

(w) No Agent shall have any obligation to determine: (i) if a Collateral Obligation meets the criteria or eligibility restrictions imposed by this Agreement or other Transaction Document or (ii) whether the conditions specified in the definition of “Delivered” under the Pledge and Security Agreement have been complied with.

(x) In making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is authorized to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its Affiliates, whether it or such Affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Collateral Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. If otherwise qualified an Eligible Investment, obligations of the Bank or any of its Affiliates shall qualify as Eligible Investments hereunder.

10.4. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender.

The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans (if any), each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include any such Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

156

10.5. Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation, without reliance upon any Agent or any other Person, of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any investigation or appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and funding its Loans on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Transaction Document and each other document required to be approved by the Requisite Lenders or Lenders or delivered to any Agent, as applicable, on the Closing Date.

10.6. Right to Indemnity.

Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share (or, if no Loans or Commitments are outstanding, the Pro Rata Share most recently in effect), severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the use of proceeds thereof; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that (1) in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and (2) this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. The foregoing shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of an Agent.

157

10.7. Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Agents, the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Agents, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Requisite Lenders. In addition, the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Agents, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Requisite Lenders if the Pro Rata Share of the entity then serving as Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, collectively, is less than 25%. The Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Administrative Agent hereunder, subject to (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld), and the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, and the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its obligations and duties hereunder, on the earliest of (1) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), (2) the acceptance of appointment by such successor Administrative Agent by the Requisite Lenders or (3) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Requisite Lenders. If the Requisite Lenders shall not have appointed a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower (if so required) by the end of the period specified above, then the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(b) The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator (each, a “Specified Person”) may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and each Specified Person may be removed at any time upon at least 30 days’ notice with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and such Specified Person signed by the Requisite Lenders. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the right to appoint a financial institution (or, in the case of the Collateral Administrator, another entity acceptable to it) as a successor

158

Specified Person hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, and each Specified Person’s resignation shall become effective, and such Specified Person shall be discharged from its obligations and duties hereunder, on the earliest of (1) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal (regardless of whether a successor been appointed or not), (2) the acceptance of appointment by such successor Specified Person (which shall be no earlier than 30 days after delivery of such notice of resignation or removal unless agreed to by the Requisite Lenders and the removed Specified Person) or (3) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Requisite Lenders and the removed Specified Person. Until a successor Specified Person is appointed, any Collateral or other property held by a Specified Person on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Transaction Documents shall continue to be held by the resigning or removed Specified Person as bailee until such time as a successor Specified Person is appointed (all costs and expenses incurred by such resigning or removed Specified Person for holding such Collateral shall be paid by the Borrower). Each Specified Person shall have the right, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, to petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the delivery of any Collateral or other property it holds as bailee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Specified Person hereunder by a successor Specified Person, such successor Specified Person shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Specified Person under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and the resigning or removed Specified Person shall promptly (x) transfer to such successor Specified Person all Collateral or other property held hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Specified Person under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and (y) execute and deliver to such successor Specified Person or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to Financing Statements, and take such other actions, as may be requested by the Requisite Lenders (and at the cost and expense of the Borrower) in connection with the assignment to such successor Specified Person of the security interests created under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning or removed Specified Person’s resignation or removal hereunder as such Specified Person, the provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents while it was such Specified Person hereunder.

(c) Any Person into which any Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust services business of such Agent shall be the successor of such Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

159

10.8. Collateral Documents.

(a) Agents under Collateral Documents. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 11.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) is authorized to and shall execute any documents or instruments requested by either (1) the Borrower (and at the cost and expense of the Borrower) in connection with an Acquisition or Disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement and the release of any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Disposition or (2) or otherwise consented to by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such request or direction hereunder) in connection with any other Disposition of assets in accordance with this Agreement; provided that, in the case of clause (1), the Borrower shall deliver a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent stating that such Acquisition or Disposition of assets is permitted by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and that the release of the Lien on such Collateral is authorized by the Transaction Documents (which certificate shall be deemed to have been provided upon the delivery by the Borrower (or the Services Provider on its behalf) of a Borrower Order in respect of such Acquisition or Disposition), and in the case of clause (2), the Borrower shall deliver a certificate signed by Authorized Officers of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent stating that such consent of the Requisite Lenders has been received. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to review or verify whether the Borrower or the Services Provider on its behalf has obtained and delivered (or made available to the Transaction Data Room) the necessary Diligence Information and other Custody Documents required for purchases of Collateral Obligations hereunder, and the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to maintain the Transaction Data Room on behalf of the Borrower.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Credit Parties, the Agents and each other Secured Party hereby agree that (1) no Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have any right to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Transaction Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or under any analogous provisions of any other Debtor Relief Law), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or such other Debtor Relief Law) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such Disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Requisite Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such Disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such Disposition.

160

(c) Release of Collateral, Termination of Transaction Documents; Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Transaction Document, when all Obligations (other than contingent Obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired (as evidenced by an executed payoff letter and confirmation from the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payoff amounts), the security interest created hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents and all guarantee obligations under the Transaction Documents shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower) take such actions as shall be requested in writing by the Borrower to effect such release of its security interest in all Collateral and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Transaction Document. The Borrower shall prepare any such documentation at its expense and shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with any release under this clause (c). Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Credit Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

10.9. Withholding Taxes.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without duplication of the provisions of Section 2.15(g), if the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

161

10.10. Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Credit 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) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) 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 Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Transaction Documents allowed in such judicial proceeding); and

(c) 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 Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Agents under the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Agents under the Transaction Documents out of the estate in any such proceeding shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

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

162

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto and participations therein or with any other Transaction Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (1) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.4 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.

Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 11.5(b) and 11.5(c) and the proviso below, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders and the Services Provider; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that the Requisite Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to any action or omission as set forth in this Agreement and may grant waivers, concessions and other indulgences in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(3) other than as a result of a Benchmark Replacement, reduce the rate of interest on any Loan, any fee, any Minimum Spread Payment or any Make-Whole Amount payable hereunder to Lenders; provided that the waiver of any interest payment, Minimum Spread Payment or Make-Whole Amount by any Lender shall not require the consent of any other Lender;

168

11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Borrower’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by the Borrower without the prior written consent of all Lenders. 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, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders and other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Register. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of a fully executed Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 11.6(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the fully executed Assignment Agreement and all other necessary documents and approvals, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to the Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the related “Assignment Effective Date”. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any related Commitments) to any Eligible Assignee upon the receipt of consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that:

(1) each such assignment pursuant to this Section 11.6(c) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the lesser of (I) U.S.$10,000,000, (II) such lesser amount as agreed to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent or (III) the aggregate amount of the Loans and any related Commitments of the assigning Lender;

169

(2) no consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be required for any assignment by a Lender (x) pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement) or (y) to any affiliate of the assigning Lender to the extent that such assignment would not give rise to the imposition of increased costs or other amounts by such assignee under Section 2.14 or 2.15; and

(3) no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Mechanics.

(1) Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Commitments by Lenders shall be effected by manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.15(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of U.S.$3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or any Affiliate thereof or (z) in the case of an assignee that is already a Lender or is an affiliate of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender).

(2) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

170

(e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (1) it is an Eligible Assignee (or, if not an Eligible Assignee, the assignment to it is permitted under this Section 11.6); (2) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; (3) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control); and (4) it will not provide any information obtained by it in its capacity as a Lender to the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor.

(f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11.6, as of the Assignment Effective Date (1) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 11.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided that, anything contained in any of the Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Xxxxxx as a Lender hereunder); (3) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee; and (4) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) for cancellation (provided that, such Notes shall be deemed to be cancelled and of no further force and effect immediately upon the effectiveness of any assignment regardless of when such Notes are delivered for cancellation), if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. No assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 hereof than the assignor would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights assigned, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after such assignment.

171

(g) Participations.

(1) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than a Credit Party, the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate or any Natural Person) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 11.6(g) shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each participant’s participation interest with respect to the Loans (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 163(f) of the Code, including proposed United States Treasury Regulations 1.163-5(b). 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 a participation with respect to the Loan for all purposes under this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 11.6(g) shall require that each participant agree to be subject to Section 11.23 with respect to the Confidential Information of the Borrower as those such participant were a Lender.

(2) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.

172

(3) Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13(g), 2.14 and 2.15, subject to the requirements and limitations therein, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, than the applicable Lender would 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, which was not reasonably anticipated or reasonably foreseeable, that occurs after such participant acquired the participation or unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent; (y) a participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender; and (z) except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender, provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18 with respect to any participant.

(h) Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 11.6 any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that (1) no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and (2) in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

11.7. Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

173

11.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.13(g), 2.14, 2.15, 10, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 and 11.22 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.15 and 10.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, and the termination hereof.

11.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Transaction Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

11.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders), or any Agent or Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

11.11. Severability.

In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

174

11.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.

The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

11.13. Headings.

Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

11.14. APPLICABLE LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

11.15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR, IF THAT COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, IN ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE (SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) BELOW) JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE

175

IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT THE AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF, AND CONSENTS TO VENUE IN, ANY SUCH COURT.

The Borrower hereby appoints and consents to CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), as their agent upon whom process or demands may be served in any action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of such process agent or appoint an additional process agent; provided that the Borrower will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Borrower in respect of this Agreement may be served. If at any time the Borrower shall fail to maintain any required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to furnish the Agents with the address thereof, notices and demands may be served on the Borrower by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail or by overnight courier, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified herein.

11.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 11.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY

176

SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

11.17. Usury Savings Clause.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Obligations are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.

11.18. Effectiveness; Counterparts.

This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

177

11.19. PATRIOT Act.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

11.20. Electronic Execution of Assignments.

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

11.21. No Fiduciary Duty.

Each Agent, Xxxxxx and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Transaction Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

11.22. Judgment Currency.

(a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to make payments in USD (each, for purposes herein, the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Secured Party entitled thereto of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to it under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the applicable exchange rate thereof as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Credit Parties jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, and each jointly and severally indemnifies the Secured Parties for such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency that could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Credit Parties and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 11.22, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Each Lender agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of making an investment in the Loans or administering its investment in the Loans; and that the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator Parties and the Administrative Agent shall neither be required nor authorized to disclose to the Lenders any Confidential Information in violation of this Section 11.23.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Fund or any of its Affiliates from disclosing the terms of any Transaction Document or copies of any Transaction Document (in each case other than the Fee Letter and the Margining Agreement) to the extent that the Fund or such Affiliate determines in its sole discretion that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act or any other applicable law.

183

(f) The Borrower hereby agrees, and hereby undertakes to obtain the agreement and consent of the Services Provider in the Corporate Services Agreement to which it is a party, to the following:

(1) The Services Provider consents to the provisions of this assignment and agrees to perform any provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Services Provider subject to the terms of such Corporate Services Agreement.

(m) Responsibilities. The Collateral Custodian shall have no responsibilities or duties with respect to any Custody Document while such Custody Document is not in its possession. The Collateral Custodian may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder either directly or, by or through its agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Custodian shall not be liable or responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any non-Affiliated agent or non-Affiliated attorney appointed with due care by it. If the Collateral Custodian is prevented from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement as a result of governmental or regulatory actions, government regulations, fires, strikes, accidents, acts of God or other causes beyond the control of the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of such circumstances and resume performance as soon as reasonably possible, and the Collateral Custodian’s obligations shall be suspended for a reasonable time during which such conditions exist.

189

Upon receiving notice of such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Custodian (with the consent of the Borrower) by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by the Requisite Lenders, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Collateral Custodian so resigning and one copy to the successor Collateral Custodian, together with a copy to the Borrower, the Services Provider, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent. If no successor collateral custodian has accepted appointment as the Collateral Custodian by the date 60 days following a resigning Collateral Custodian’s notice of resignation, the resigning Collateral Custodian’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Administrative Agent (or its designee) shall perform the duties of the Collateral Custodian hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Xxxxxxx appoint a successor Xxxxxxxxxx Custodian. Upon the effective date of such resignation, or if the Requisite Lenders give the Collateral Custodian written notice of an earlier termination hereof, the Collateral Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any reasonable and documented costs and expenses the Collateral Custodian may incur in connection with the termination of its duties under this Agreement and (ii) deliver all of the Custody Documents in the possession of Collateral Custodian to the successor Collateral Custodian. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Custodian shall be entitled to receive, as and when such amounts are payable in accordance with this Agreement and any compensation accrued through the effective date of its resignation pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 14.

For the avoidance of doubt, more than one Value Adjustment Event may occur with respect to any Collateral Obligation.

Section 2. Margining.

(a) Demands.

(1) If at any time a WAPG Deficiency exists, and the Aggregate Deficiency is equal to or greater than the applicable Cash Payment Threshold, then the Administrative Agent may by notice (a “Cash Payment Notice”) to the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) require the Borrower to (x) deposit in the Principal Collection Account cash in U.S. Dollars or (y) repay outstanding Loans in accordance with the Credit Agreement, in each case such that the Aggregate Deficiency will thereupon be zero.

(2) If at any time a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, and the Aggregate Deficiency is equal to or greater than the applicable Cash Payment Threshold, then the Administrative Agent may by a Cash Payment Notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) require the Borrower to (x) deposit in the Principal Collection Account cash in U.S. Dollars, (y) obtain additional amounts of Collateral Obligations (including via participation pursuant to the Sale Agreement) in compliance with the or terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including Section 8 thereof, or (z) repay outstanding Loans in accordance with the Credit Agreement, in each case such that the Aggregate Deficiency will thereupon be zero.

(3) If at any time an Exposure Coverage Deficiency exists, and the Aggregate Deficiency is equal to or greater than the applicable Cash Payment Threshold, then the Administrative Agent may by notice (a “Exposure Coverage Deficiency Notice”) to the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) require the Borrower to deposit in the Future Funding Reserve Account cash in U.S. Dollars in such amount that the Aggregate Deficiency will thereupon be zero.

If any Cash Payment Notice is given to the Borrower and a cash payment is required in accordance with clauses (a)(1) or (a)(2) above, the Borrower shall (x) to the extent the Borrower has sufficient cash on hand, no later than the applicable Cash Payment Funding Deadlines (i) deposit cash in U.S. Dollars in the Principal Collection Accounts or (ii) repay outstanding principal of the Loans or (y) otherwise, in the case of clause (a)(2) above only, Acquire (1) Pre-Approved Cure Collateral Obligations or (2) additional Collateral Obligations that are not Revalued Collateral Obligations (unless the Value Adjustment Event with respect thereto is no longer continuing) (such Collateral Obligations, the “Approval Cure Collateral Obligations”), in each case in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth above and in the Credit Agreement, including Section 8 thereof.

If any Exposure Coverage Deficiency Notice is given to the Borrower in accordance with clause (a)(3) above, the Borrower shall no later than the applicable Cash Payment Funding Deadline deposit cash in U.S. Dollars in the Future Funding Reserve Account as required by such Exposure Coverage Deficiency Notice.

The Calculation Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide daily notice to the Borrower of the Asset Current Price of each Collateral Obligation and the Weighted Average Price Gap; provided that, the Calculation Agent has used such commercially reasonable efforts, the failure to provide such notice shall not constitute a breach or default by the Calculation Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(b) [Reserved].

(1) disputes the Asset Current Price or the Assigned Price of one or more Collateral Obligations as determined by the Calculation Agent as of any Business Day (each, a “Disputed Collateral Obligation”), and set forth in such Dispute Notice a higher valuation proposed by the Sponsor in respect of such Disputed Collateral Obligation (the related “Sponsor Valuation”), and the related difference in Aggregate Deficiency that would result from the disputed prices exceeds U.S.$3,000,000; or

(2) dispute the calculation of a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Exposure Coverage Deficiency or WAPG Cure Amount, and set forth in such Dispute Notice the calculation proposed by the Sponsor in respect thereof (the related “Sponsor Deficit Calculation”), and the total of all Sponsor Deficit Calculations in dispute exceeds U.S.$3,000,000;,

then for so long as such dispute (each a “Dispute”) is continuing (and provided that no Event of Default, Monetary Default or Other Material Default with respect to the Borrower occurs or is then continuing), upon the request of the Borrower, the Calculation Agent and the Borrower will work together in good faith to resolve such Dispute.

(ii) Subject to clause (iii), while such Dispute with respect to an Asset Current Price is pending, such Asset Current Price shall be the Asset Current Price as determined by the Calculation Agent.

(iii) If during the pendency of a Dispute the Borrower provides the Calculation Agent with a Firm Bid for such Disputed Collateral Obligation from one or more unaffiliated third parties, then for so long as such Firm Bid is actionable (by the relevant Borrower Entity, with respect to the portion thereof constituting a cash bid for the purchase of such Disputed Collateral Obligation, and by the Calculation Agent, with respect to the portion thereof constituting a synthetic bid to provide credit protection for such Disputed Collateral Obligation), then the Asset Current Price for such Collateral Obligation shall be the price (expressed as a percentage of par but excluding any accrued interest) set forth in such Firm Bid (and, in connection therewith, any calculation of the Aggregate Deficiency shall be revised to reflect such Firm Bid). The Borrower shall notify the Calculation Agent of each attempt by them to obtain a Firm Bid.

(iv) Nothing in this Section shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a) of this Agreement based upon (x) the Asset Current Prices applicable from time to time as provided above in this Section 2(c) and (y) all other determinations made by the Calculation Agent hereunder and under any of the other Transaction Documents.

(v) The Administrative Agent (for itself and on behalf of the Lenders) agrees that, if:

(x) any Dispute continues unresolved for more than seven Business Days; and

(y) the relevant Borrower Entity transfers and removes the relevant Disputed Collateral Obligation from the Underlying Portfolio in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents (and, if (I) any consent of the Administrative Agent or one or more Lenders is required for such removal or transfer and (II) the Services Provider requests the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to consent to the transfer and removal of such Disputed Collateral Obligation from the Underlying Portfolio pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent shall (on behalf of the Lenders) give its consent to such transfer and removal),

then the transfer and removal of such Disputed Collateral Obligation pursuant to clause (y) shall be deemed to resolve such Dispute for purposes hereof as of the date on which the Administrative Agent gives such consent.

Section 3. Miscellaneous.

(a) Credit Agreement. Sections 11.5, 11.6, 11.13, 11.14, 11.15, 11.16, 11.18 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.

(b) Direction to Collateral Agent. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby direct the Collateral Agent to acknowledge this Agreement and the terms hereof; and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that the exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of Section 10 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to the Collateral Agent with respect to its acknowledgment of this Agreement and the terms hereof.
