(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative or non-compliant with or non-aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks; provided that such non-representativeness, non-compliance or non-alignment will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, (A) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date for any Benchmark occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such Benchmark and for such determination and (B) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or clause (b) of this definition with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

6

(c) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to the then-current, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to such Benchmark pursuant to clause (a) or clause (b) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 4.08 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 4.08.

Administrative Agent shall endeavor, unless such rates are generally unavailable pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof or otherwise, to provide such quoted rates to such Borrower within two (2) Business Days after such request; provided, however, that Administrative Agent’s failure to timely provide such rates shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligations hereunder.

received by a Borrower on the next Business Day following receipt of such funds; provided, however, that if, on the date the applicable Request for Borrowing with respect to such Borrowing is given, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be first applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings before they are made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, then Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand: (a) from such Lender, together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the applicable Borrower by Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; or (b) if a Lender fails to pay its amount upon Administrative Agent’s demand, then from the applicable Borrower (i) promptly on demand, to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Accounts or in any other accounts maintained by such Borrower; and (ii) otherwise, to the extent that it is necessary for any Loan Party to issue a Call Notice to fund such required payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand (the applicable Loan Party shall issue such necessary Call Notice and such required payment shall be made promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received); together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to the requested Borrowing for the period commencing on the borrowing date and ending on (but excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers the amount from the applicable Borrower. Subject to the continuing responsibilities of each Lender under Section 13.13(b) hereof, the liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to Borrowers only for the amount of its respective Commitment.

2.06 Interest Rate.

(a) Rate.

(i) The unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall from day to day be equal to the Base Rate in effect from day to day.

(ii) The unpaid principal amount of each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Spread Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(iii) The unpaid principal amount of each Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

46

(b) Change in Rate; Past Due Amounts; Calculations of Interest. Each change in the rate of interest under each Loan shall become effective, without prior notice to Borrowers, automatically as of the opening of business of Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of each RFR Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of each Base Rate Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 days (or 366, as the case may be). If any principal of, or interest on, the Obligations is not paid when due, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.06(a) above) such past due principal and interest shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date it was due to, but excluding, the date it is paid. If any other Event of Default hereunder shall arise, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.06(a) above) the principal amount of each Loan in effect at such time shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or is waived.

2.07 Determination of Rate. Administrative Agent, subject to Section 4.02 hereof and clause (b) of the definition of Interest Period, shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Borrowings hereunder. Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to Borrowers and to Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

2.08 Payment of Guaranty. In consideration of: (a) Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02 hereof, to cause Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof, and (b) the agreement of the applicable Lenders to accept the guarantees of the applicable Borrowers in support thereof pursuant to Section 6.01(a) hereof, Subsidiary Borrowers hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, within the limits of the Available Commitment, to disburse directly, as a Borrowing hereunder, to the Lenders, with notice to the applicable Subsidiary Borrowers, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount due and owing under this Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, together with all interest, reasonable costs and expenses and fees due to the Lenders pursuant thereto in the event Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of any disbursement made to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement, and Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof in the amount of the Note so paid, and Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have given to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.03 hereof a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto. Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Lenders as to the amount of any such Obligations due to the Lenders, absent manifest error.

2.09 Use of Proceeds of Loans and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used for the purposes permitted under the Borrowers’ Organizational Documents and all related documentation including Subscription Agreements, as the case may be. None of the Lenders or Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to Borrowers’ use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit,

47

and none of the Lenders or Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not Borrowers’ use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under Borrowers’ Organizational Documents. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any Rollover, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by Lenders or Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by Borrowers is permitted by the terms of their respective Organizational Documents.

2.10 Administrative Agent Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent fees in consideration of the arrangement of the Commitments, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the date agreed to among the Initial Borrower and Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

2.11 Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3 hereof, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, according to its Pro Rata Share, in respect to the average daily amount of the Facility Amount, which was unused (through the extension of Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit) during the immediately preceding quarter calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days (the “Unused Portion”), (i) if the Unused Portion is greater than or equal to 50% of the Facility Amount, a fee computed at the rate of [***] per annum of the Unused Portion and (ii) if the Unused Portion is less than 50% of the Facility Amount, a fee computed at the rate of [***] per annum, in each case payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each quarter for the preceding quarter. Borrowers and Lenders acknowledge and agree that the commitment fees payable hereunder are bona fide commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to Lenders for committing to make funds available to Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

2.12 Letters of Credit.

(a) Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Commitment Period: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.12: (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of a Borrower, in aggregate face amounts that shall be not less than $100,000, as Borrower Representative may request (except to the extent a lesser amount is requested by Borrower Representative and agreed by Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it; and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) each Lender severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided, however, that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit: (1) the Principal Obligation will not exceed the Available Commitment; and (2) the Letter of Credit Liability will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly a Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall have the right to approve the form of Letter of Credit requested, if such form of Letter of Credit is not based on the form of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

48

(ii) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: (A) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has approved such expiry date in its sole discretion; or (B) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, without the consent of all Lenders.

(iii) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder); (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer; (C) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; (D) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or (E) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund hereunder exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer’s actual risk with respect to such Lender.

(iv) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.

49

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower Representative delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Request for Letter of Credit”), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower Representative. Such Request for Letter of Credit must be received by the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit (or such later date and time as Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion). In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Request for Letter of Credit, together with a Letter of Credit Application, shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, the related Request for Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, Borrower Representative shall furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Upon each such application and request, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have automatically made to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender, and the Letter of Credit Issuer the representations and warranties set forth in such Request for Letter of Credit.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Request for Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Request for Letter of Credit from Borrower Representative and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 7 hereof shall not then be satisfied as of the date of such notice, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Letter of Credit Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

50

(iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participation.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If a Borrower fails to so reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer by such time, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, in respect of its respective Commitment, of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.04 hereof for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Available Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 7.03, and, if applicable, Section 7.04, hereof (other than the delivery of a Request for Borrowing). Any notice given by the Letter of Credit Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as Letter of Credit Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) hereof make funds available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at Administrative Agent’s Funding Account in an amount equal to its applicable Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c)(iii) hereof, each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 7.03, and, if applicable, Section 7.04, hereof cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Letter of Credit Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable

51

on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) hereof shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.12.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.12(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.03, and, if applicable, Section 7.04, hereof (other than delivery of a Request for Borrowing). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12(c) by the time specified in Section 2.12(c)(ii) hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the Letter of Credit Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

52

(i) At any time after the Letter of Credit Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.12(c) hereof, if Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) hereof is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 13.04 hereof (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its applicable Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued for the benefit of such Borrower and to repay each L/C Borrowing attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that such Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

53

(iv) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Borrower.

The Borrower Representative shall promptly examine a draft of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower Representative’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower Representative will promptly notify the Letter of Credit Issuer. In the absence of the Letter of Credit Issuer’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, each Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Agent-Related Person or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence bad faith, or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or related Request for Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude each Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.12(e) hereof; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

54

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Administrative Agent: (x) if the Letter of Credit Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing; or (y) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the applicable Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then-outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Liability (determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). Sections 2.01(e) and 3.06 hereof set forth certain additional requirements to deliver cash collateral hereunder. Each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at SMBC (provided that (A) any interest accrued on any such deposit account shall be payable to the applicable Borrower only upon the full and final payment of the Obligations; and (B) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any such interest accrued to the date thereof shall be applied to reduce the Principal Obligation).

(h) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms hereof shall control.

(i) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

2.13 Increase in the Facility Amount.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.13, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may at any time prior to the Stated Maturity Date request an increase of the Facility Amount to an amount not exceeding $2,000,000,000. Such increase may be made in one or more requested increases, in $10,000,000 increments, or such lesser amount to be agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (each such increase, shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”).

(b) Effective Date. The Borrowers shall specify the requested effective date of any Facility Increase in the Facility Increase Request, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (such effective date of any Facility Increase, the “Increase Effective Date”) and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the actual Increase Effective Date.

55

(c) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. The following are conditions precedent to such increase:

(i) the Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request and resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect;

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

(iii) if applicable, the Borrowers shall execute replacement Notes payable to the Administrative Agent reflecting the Facility Increase;

(iv) as of the effective date of such increase and immediately after giving effect thereto, the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date); provided that if a representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation or warranty, the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be disregarded for the purposes of this condition;

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

(vi) on the Increase Effective Date, (x) an existing Lender or Lenders shall increase its Commitment to support any Facility Increase, in its sole discretion, and/or (y) an additional Lender or Lenders shall have joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 13.13(c) and, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Commitments of such increasing and additional Lenders shall be at least equal to the amount of such Facility Increase.

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

(d) Reallocation Following Facility Increase. On any Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility Increase (whether pursuant to a new Lender joining the Credit Facility or an existing Lender increasing its Commitment), the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit hereunder (including any Loans made by any new or increasing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13) such that, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of each Lender’s (including each new or increasing Lender’s) share of outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit to its share of Commitments is the same as that of each other Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans from an existing Lender to

56

a new or increasing Lender. In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, the (i) Administrative Agent will give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable timing period in Section 2.03 to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (ii) applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Loans being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans. In connection with such repayment made with respect to such reallocation (to the extent such repayment is required), the Borrowers shall pay (i) all interest due on the amount repaid to the date of repayment on the immediately following Interest Payment Date and (ii) any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.03 as a result of such reallocation occurring on any date other than an Interest Payment Date.

2.14 Extension of Stated Maturity Date.

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon:

(i) receipt by Administrative Agent of a written request from Borrower at least thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect;

(ii) payment by Borrower to Administrative Agent of an extension fee equal to [***] of the then Facility Amount subject to extension for the ratable benefit of the Extending Lenders based on their share of the extended Facility Amount; and

(iii) approval of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) and each Lender that expressly consents (in its sole discretion) to the requested extension in writing to the Administrative Agent (each an “Extending Lender”) (it being understood that no extension shall require the consent of any Lender other than the then-Extending Lenders),

the Stated Maturity Date may be extended for two (2) additional terms of no longer than twelve (12) months each.

(b) At the request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Credit Agreement and, if requested, Borrower shall issue replacement Notes, in each case reflecting the foregoing.

2.15 Letter of Credit Fees. The applicable Borrower shall pay:

(a) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, in consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, a non-refundable per annum fee equal to the Letter of Credit Applicable Margin on the average daily face amount of each Letter of Credit, calculated on the actual number of days each such Letter of Credit is outstanding in a year consisting of 360 days, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit payable in arrears in quarterly installments, on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding; and

57

(b) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer, in consideration of the issuance and fronting of Letters of Credit, a non-refundable fronting fee equal to [***] on the undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Credit Agreement, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter (if applicable) on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.03. In addition, the applicable Borrower Party shall pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account the reasonable and customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Letter of Credit Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

The Borrowers, Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer acknowledge and agree that the letter of credit fees payable hereunder are bona fide letter of credit fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer for committing to make funds available to Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365 day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan from and including the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof bear interest for one day.

2.17 Appointment of Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby designates the Investment Manager as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Requests for Borrowing and Rollover/Conversion Notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

58

2.18 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, but in any event excluding any Loan Party and their Affiliates, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided that, without limiting any other rights or remedies at law or in equity, including without restricting any of Administrative Agent’s rights to at any time demand a return of any Erroneous Payment during the duration of this Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent will make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment not later than two (2) Business Days from the date that such funds were received by a Payment Recipient), (i) such Erroneous Payment comprised of funds of the Administrative Agent shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent, (ii) such Erroneous Payment comprised of funds of any Borrower shall at all times remain the property of such Borrower, and (iii) such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received). To the extent that any demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment is made: (x) within three (3) Business Days that any such funds were received in error by a Payment Recipient, such Payment Recipient shall repay the Erroneous Payment, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent and (y) after three (3) Business Days any such funds were received in error by a Payment Recipient, such Payment Recipient shall repay the Erroneous Payment together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date that Administrative Agent demands repayment of such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent; in each case, in same day funds with a rate of interest equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

59

(i) an error may have been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y)), or an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.18(b).

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Credit Agreement; provided that to the extent (i) such Erroneous Payment is comprised of the Administrative Agent’s funds and (ii) the amounts owing to such Lender constitute Loans, the Loans held by such Lender shall remain Loans hereunder and shall be deemed to be assigned to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall become a Lender holding such Loans.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (such assignment of Loans (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an approved electronic communication method pursuant to Section 12.18(b) hereof, as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect

60

to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Credit Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not be deemed to pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or held on behalf of, a Borrower for the purpose of prepaying, repaying, discharging or otherwise satisfying any Obligations owed by such Borrower.

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

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 2.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 3. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

3.01 Revolving Credit Notes.

(a) Promissory Notes. The Loans made by each Lender to a Borrower hereunder shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of such Borrower. Each Note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, dated the date of this Credit Agreement with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith) payable to the order of each such Lender (each, a “Note”) in a principal amount equal to the lesser of: (i) such Lender’s Commitment; and (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by such Lender. Each Lender shall have the right to have its Note, subdivided into denominations no smaller than $1,000,000.00, by exchange for promissory notes of lesser denominations or otherwise. Borrowers agree, from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent or any affected Lender, to reissue new Notes in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to any Lender and any Assignee of such Lender in accordance with Section 13.13(c) hereof, in renewal of and substitution for the Notes previously issued by Borrowers to the affected Lender, and such previously issued Notes shall be returned to the applicable Borrower marked “replaced.” Further, upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Note, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of such Note, and an indemnification reasonably acceptable to Borrower Representative, the appropriate Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

61

(b) Recordation or Endorsement. The date, amount and interest rate of each Loan made by each Lender to Borrowers, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender in its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note endorsed by such Lender on the schedule attached to its Note or any continuation thereof; provided, that the failure of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrowers to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under its Note in respect of the Loans made by such Lender.

3.02 Payment of Obligations. The remaining unpaid principal amount of the Obligations, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

3.03 Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest. Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof, notwithstanding whether Borrowers received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date and even if such Borrowing is held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement. When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from Borrower Representative, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by Administrative Agent in the appropriate Funding Account.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest (i) on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, and on the Maturity Date and (ii) on any obligation of a Borrower hereunder on which such Borrower is in default shall be due and payable at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by Administrative Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(c) Direct Disbursement. If, at any time, Administrative Agent shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon the Loans or any fee described herein, Administrative Agent may direct the disbursement of funds from the applicable Collateral Accounts to applicable Lenders to the extent available therein for payment of any such amount and to the extent such funds have not been committed to an Investment

62

prior to such date. Thereafter, if the amount available in the applicable Collateral Accounts is not sufficient for the full payment of such amounts due, Administrative Agent may, without prior notice to or the consent of Borrowers, within the limits of the Available Commitment, disburse to Lenders in immediately available funds an amount equal to the interest or fee due to the applicable Lenders, which disbursement shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, and the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have given to Lenders in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.03 hereof a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto. After any disbursement of funds from the Collateral Accounts to the applicable Lenders, as contemplated in this Section 3.03(c), Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver written notice of such disbursement to Borrower Representative; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent to give such notice will not affect the validity of such disbursement, and Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Lenders with notice thereof.

3.04 Payments on the Obligations.

(a) Payments Generally. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by Borrowers to or for the account of Lenders, or any of them, shall be made by Borrowers without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, for receipt by Administrative Agent on the relevant due date before 2:00 p.m. (New York time), in federal or other immediately available funds to the appropriate Funding Account. Funds received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds. Except as provided in Section 13.13 hereof, each Lender shall be entitled to receive its applicable Pro Rata Share of each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder, for the account of the Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by Administrative Agent to such Lender. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that payments to Administrative Agent by Borrowers of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations by Borrowers to or for the account of Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall constitute satisfaction of Borrowers’ obligations with respect to any such payments, and Administrative Agent shall indemnify, and each Lender shall hold harmless, Borrowers from any claims asserted by any Lender in connection with Administrative Agent’s duty to distribute and apportion such payments to Lenders in accordance with this Section 3.04 and pursuant to Section 2.14 with respect to payments due to any Non-Extending Lenders with respect to any extension of the Stated Maturity Date to which they did not consent. All payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner: (i) first, against all actual out-of-pocket costs, expenses and other fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising and owed by Borrowers under the terms hereof; (ii) second, against all accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (iii) third, against the Principal Obligation due and owing as of the date of such payment; and (iv) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.

63

(b) Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder that a Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

3.05 Voluntary Prepayments. Borrowers may, without premium or penalty, prepay the principal of the Obligations then outstanding, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time upon: (i) one (1) Business Day prior written notice from Borrower to Administrative Agent for Base Rate Loans; and (ii) three (3) Business Days prior written notice from Borrower Representative to Administrative Agent for RFR Loans; provided, however, (a) that any such voluntary prepayment shall be credited in the priority set forth in Section 3.04(a) hereof, and (b) that if Borrowers shall prepay the principal of any RFR Loan on any date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrowers shall make the payments required by Section 4.03 hereof. All RFR Loan prepayments must be made on a Business Day.

3.06 Reduction of Facility Amount or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Request for Borrowing or Request for Letter of Credit is outstanding, Borrower Representative may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Facility Amount without premium or penalty by giving prior irrevocable written notice to Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by Borrower Representative in such notice):

(a) (i) in the case of complete termination of the Commitments, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 hereof; or (ii) in the case of a reduction of the Facility Amount, upon payment of the amount by which the outstanding Obligations exceed the Facility Amount resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 hereof; provided, however, that except in connection with a termination of the Commitments, the Facility Amount may not be reduced such that, upon such reduction, the Facility Amount is less than the Letter of Credit Liability; and

(b) in the case of the complete termination of the Commitments, if any Letter of Credit Liability exists, upon payment to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a segregated interest bearing cash collateral account, as security for such Letter of Credit Liability, an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Liability then outstanding at the time such notice is given, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived. Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the Letter of Credit Liability, or the termination of all outstanding Letter of

64

Credit Liability due to the expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit prior to draws thereon, the Administrative Agent shall return to Borrowers any amounts remaining in said cash collateral account; provided, however, that to the extent individual Letters of Credit expire, the Administrative Agent will return to Borrowers the corresponding amount of the expired Letter of Credit Liability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) any reduction of the Facility Amount shall be in increments of $5,000,000; and (2) in no event shall a reduction by Borrowers of the Facility Amount reduce the Facility Amount to $10,000,000 or less (except for a termination of all the Commitments and prepayment in full of the Obligations). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same. Any reduction of the Facility Amount or termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be permanent and shall reduce the applicable Commitments of the applicable Lenders on a Pro Rata Share basis.

3.07 Lending Office. Each Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a foreign branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its lending office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any RFR Loan; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate as its lending office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Base Rate Loan and (c) change its lending offices from time to time by notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative; provided that such designation or change will not increase any obligation of any Borrower hereunder, or affect the Funding Accounts into which payments with respect to Loans are made. In such event, such Lender shall continue to hold the Note evidencing its loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Lender shall, regardless of such Lender’s actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by Borrower Representative for such Borrowing period. All Letters of Credit shall permit presentment for payment in such Letter of Credit Issuer’s office located in New York, New York.

3.08 Currency of Payment. All payments made or required to be made by or on behalf of Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement shall be made in the currency borrowed without reduction, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever; provided, however, that in the event that a Borrower is prevented by a Governmental Authority from making such payment in the currency borrowed, Borrower Representative shall forthwith give notice of such circumstance to Administrative Agent. The Borrower Representative, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall attempt to make an alternative arrangement for such payments; provided, that in the event that Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative cannot agree on an alternative arrangement, all such payments shall be made in the amount of such obligation.

65

SECTION 4. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

4.01 Requirement of Law.

(a) If the introduction or adoption of or any change after the date of this Credit Agreement in, under or pursuant to any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to a Lender’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date of this Credit Agreement:

(i) shall subject any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Loan made by such Lender (including a Loan deemed to be made as a result of its participation in a Letter of Credit) or any Letter of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer (excluding Connection Income Taxes, clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Indemnified Taxes);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, Loans, Letters of Credit or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Term SOFR Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on Lender, or the Letter of Credit Issuer any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, by an amount which such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer reasonably deems to be material, of making, participating in, continuing or maintaining any Loan, issuing a Letter of Credit, or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, upon such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, that, to the extent that it is necessary for a Borrower to issue a Call Notice to fund such required payment, Borrowers shall make such payment within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand.

(b) If a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change after the date of this Credit Agreement in, under or pursuant to any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents of such Lender or, as the case may be, the Letter of Credit Issuer) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or any corporation controlling such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date of this Credit Agreement shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, the Letter of Credit Issuer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, the Letter of Credit

66

Issuer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, the Letter of Credit Issuer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, to be material, then from time to time, Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, upon such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, or the Letter of Credit Issuer for such reduction; provided, however, that such amounts shall be consistent with amounts that such Lender is generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to Borrowers, and shall not be duplicative of any amount paid by Borrowers pursuant to clause (a) above; provided, further, that, to the extent that it is necessary for a Borrower to issue a Call Notice to fund such required payment, Borrowers shall make such payment within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand.

(c) Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the RFR Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided Borrower Representative shall have received at least ten (10) days prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional costs from such Lender; provided, however, that such amounts shall be consistent with amounts that such Lender is generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to Borrowers, and shall not be duplicative of any amount paid by Borrowers pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional costs shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (c), to the extent that it is necessary for a Borrower to issue a Call Notice to fund any payment required pursuant to this clause (c), Borrowers shall make such payment within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand.

(d) If a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.01, it shall promptly notify Borrower Representative of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

4.02 Limitation on Types of Loans; Illegality. Subject to Section 4.08 hereof, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (with respect to Term SOFR Loans, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan) in connection with any request for a RFR Loan or Conversion to or Continuation thereof that (a) Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof: or (b) the then-current Benchmark does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and all Lenders. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain RFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected RFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice and (ii) with respect to the Term

67

SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case, until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending Request for Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of such RFR Loans (to the extent of the affected RFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have Converted such Request for Borrowing of RFR Loans into a Request for Borrowing for Base Rate Loans, without reference to Term SOFR.

4.03 Compensation. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the applicable Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: (a) any Continuation, Conversion, payment or prepayment of any RFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any of the foregoing amounts to Lenders due to a prepayment pursuant to clause (b) of Section 3.05 hereof as a result of a Lender failing to make its Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing as required hereunder; (b) any failure by Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, Continue or Convert any RFR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower Representative; or (c) any assignment of a RFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 13.13(c) hereof; including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

4.04 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Except as provided in this Section 4.04, any and all payments by or on account of the Borrowers to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties with respect thereto (together with all such taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges and all liabilities, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, Borrowers shall timely pay, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes and any other excise Taxes or similar charges or levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

68

(c) Gross Up. If Borrowers shall be required by any Laws to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by or on account of any Borrower under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender then, (i) Borrowers shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.04), the Administrative Agent and such Lender receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and (iii) Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(d) Indemnification. (i) Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender for (1) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.04) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be), and (2) any liability (including penalties, interest and any reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this Section 4.04(d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes a written demand therefor. (ii) Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent for (1) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (2) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.13(b) 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 Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d)(ii).

(e) Prescribed Forms. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding

69

anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.:

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about 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

a. 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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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;

b. executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

c. 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 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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or

d. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, 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 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

70

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about 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), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.2(f). “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.04 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrowers, Borrower Representative shall furnish to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Lenders or the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Borrower Representative the original or certified copy of the receipt evidencing such payment.

71

4.05 Request for Compensation.

(a) Certificate. If requested by Borrower Representative in connection with any claim or demand for compensation under Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04 hereof, as the case may be, a Lender shall provide to Borrower Representative, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate, which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim or demand, the amount required to be paid by Borrowers to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof; provided, that, to the extent that it is necessary for a Borrower to issue a Call Notice to fund such required payment, Borrowers shall make such payment within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such certificate.

(b) Refund. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04 hereof (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to 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). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (b) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (b), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (b) 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This 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.

(c) Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender makes a claim or demand for compensation under Section 4.01 or Section 4.04 hereof, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04 hereof, then the applicable Borrowers may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be

72

disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If any Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with this Section 4.05(c), then the applicable Borrowers may remove or replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.15 hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall have the right to demand any payment or compensation under Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04 hereof: (i) with respect to any period more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the occurrence of the event which caused such amounts to be due pursuant to such Sections and (ii) unless demand thereunder is made in accordance with a policy of the Lender being applied in good faith to all Borrowers similarly situated. Each Lender shall notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the termination of this Credit Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under Section 4.04 hereof as promptly as practicable, but in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; if any Lender fails to give such notice within one hundred eighty (180) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable under Section 4.04 hereof, only be entitled to payment for such compensation relating to the period from and after the date one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice. Any amount payable by any Borrower on account of Section 4.01, 4.03 or 4.04 hereof shall not be duplicative of: (i) any amount paid under any other of such Sections or (ii) any amounts included in the calculation of a RFR or Base Rate, as applicable.

4.06 Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrowers hereunder, all of Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive following termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the other Obligations and so long as there has been no gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4 shall terminate three (3) years following payment and performance in full of the Obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

4.07 Prohibited Event. In the event a Lender notifies Administrative Agent that, subsequent to the Closing Date, such Lender or any of its Affiliates: (i) has become a fiduciary with respect to any ERISA Investor in connection with its investment in any Loan Party or this transaction; or (ii) has acquired any discretionary authority or control with respect to any ERISA Investor’s investment in any Loan Party, or renders any investment advice (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-21(c)) with respect to such investment, the parties hereby agree that the event described in clause (i) or (ii) above (the “Prohibited Event”) shall be deemed to have caused a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to the transactions described in this Credit Agreement, and the parties to this Credit Agreement shall cooperate with each other to correct such prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, any such correction shall prevent the Lender from receiving any direct or indirect fees, loan repayments, or any other benefits from such ERISA Investor. If Administrative Agent determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that any of the corrections described herein are insufficient to correct the prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the parties shall also cooperate to replace such affected Lender.

73

4.08 Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5^th) 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 Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent 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 Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as provided in the definition of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes).

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrowers or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.08, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.08.

74

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including, without limitation, the Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any affected Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all affected Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, the applicable Borrower(s) may revoke or cancel any Request for Borrowing for, Conversion to or Continuation of, a RFR Loan that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the applicable Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark and, failing that, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such Request for Borrowing for, Conversion to or Continuation of, a RFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of the Base Rate based upon the applicable then-current Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate. Upon any such prepayment or Conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or Converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.03.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted.]

(e) Use of Account; Capital Demands by Administrative Agent. So long as no Default (under Section 11.01(a), (b), (i), or (j)) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the withdrawal of funds from any Collateral Account, and the Principal Obligation does not exceed the Available Commitment (subject to Section 2.01(e)), the Borrowers and Feeder Funds shall have sole discretion to apply the funds on deposit in any Collateral Account.

Each Borrower and Feeder Fund hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the applicable Lenders, acting through Administrative Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to charge from time to time the applicable Collateral Accounts and any other accounts of such Borrower or Feeder Fund at any Lender for amounts not paid when due (after the passage of any applicable grace period) to Lenders or any of them hereunder and under the Notes; provided, however, that promptly after any disbursement of funds from any such account to Lenders, as contemplated in this Section 5.02(e), Administrative Agent shall deliver a written notice of such disbursement to Borrower Representative. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, in accordance with the applicable Organizational Documents, is hereby authorized, in the name of Lenders or the name of the Borrowers or Feeder Funds, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and while an Event of Default exists, to notify any or all parties obligated to Borrowers or Feeder Funds with respect to the Capital Commitments to make all payments due or to become due thereon directly to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders, at a different account number, or to initiate one or more Capital Demands in order to pay the Obligations. With or without such general notification, when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, in accordance with the applicable Organizational Documents: (i) may make Capital Demands in the name of the Borrowers or Feeder Funds, as applicable; (ii) may take or bring in any Borrower’s name, Feeder Fund’s name, or that of Lenders all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of Capital Commitments; (iii) may complete any contract or agreement of a Borrower or Feeder Fund in any way related to any of the Capital Commitments; (iv) may make allowances or adjustments related to the Capital Commitments; (v) may compromise any claims related to the Capital Commitments; or (vi) may exercise any right, privilege, power, or remedy provided to a Borrower or Feeder Fund under its Organizational Documents or the Subscription Agreements relating to the right to make Capital Demands and to receive Capital Contributions. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Administrative

79

Agent or Lenders, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall ever be liable for failure to exercise any right or obligation under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Collateral or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and Liens relating to any of the Collateral. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower Representative prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.02(e), but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of the Borrowers or Feeder Funds with respect to such action.

(f) Event of Default. During the existence of an Event of Default which is continuing, issuance by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders of a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any Capital Contribution to the Borrowers or Feeder Funds shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such Person to the extent of any amount so paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default which is continuing, on behalf of any Borrower or Feeder Fund, to endorse the name of such Borrower or Feeder Fund upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or items, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon a Capital Contribution of any Person to any Borrower coming into Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders is hereby granted by each Borrower, Feeder Fund or General Partner as security for its Obligations hereunder an irrevocable power of attorney, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which is coupled with an interest, to execute in accordance with the applicable Organizational Documents, all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of any Borrower, Feeder Fund, either before or after demand of payment on the Obligations but only during the existence of an Event of Default which is continuing, as shall be deemed by Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion, reasonably exercised, of Administrative Agent, to protect the security interests and Liens in the Collateral or the repayment of the Obligations, and neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall incur any liability, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney. The power of attorney granted hereby is intended to secure an interest in property and, in addition, the obligations of the relevant Borrower or Feeder Fund hereunder and shall be irrevocable.

The application by Lenders of such funds shall, unless Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.04 hereof. Each Borrower acknowledges that all funds so transferred into the Collateral Accounts shall be the property of the applicable Borrowers, until applied to the Obligations.

(g) No Representations. Neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed to make at any time any representation or warranty as to the validity of any Call Notice nor shall Administrative Agent or Lenders be accountable for the Borrowers’, Feeder Funds’ or General Partner’s use of the proceeds of any Call Notice.

80

5.03 Agreement to Deliver Additional Collateral Documents. Each of the Borrowers, Feeder Funds and General Partner shall deliver such security agreements, financing statements, assignments and other collateral documents, including a Collateral Account Control Agreement with respect to any Additional Collateral Account (all of which shall be deemed part of the Collateral Documents), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent acting on behalf of Lenders may reasonably request from time to time for the purpose of granting to, or maintaining or perfecting in favor of Lenders, exclusive first priority security interests in any of the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), together with other assurances of the enforceability and priority of Lenders’ Liens and assurances of due recording and documentation of the Collateral Documents or copies thereof, as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the Liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted pursuant to this Section 5.

5.04 Lenders’ Rights of Offset. In addition to the rights granted to Administrative Agent and Lenders under Section 5.02(a) hereof, each of the Loan Parties hereby grants to each Lender a right of offset, to secure repayment of the Obligations, upon any and all monies, securities, or other property of such Loan Party and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to Lenders, from or for the account of such Loan Party, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) and credits of such Loan Party, and any and all claims of such Loan Party against Lenders at any time existing. Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default which is continuing, without notice to the Loan Parties, to offset, appropriate, apply, and enforce such right of offset against any and all items hereinabove referred to against the Obligations of the applicable Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall be deemed directly liable to Lenders, jointly and severally, in the full amount of their respective Obligations, and Lenders shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above. Administrative Agent, and Lenders, as applicable, shall give Borrower Representative prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.04, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of the Loan Parties with respect to such action. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY LOAN PARTY, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

5.05 Subordination of Subordinated Claims. Upon: (a) Administrative Agent’s notification to Borrower Representative that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists and until the mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.01(e) hereof in connection therewith, if any, shall be paid and satisfied in full; or (b) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Loan Parties shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly from any Investor any amount upon the Subordinated Claims. Any lien, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other circumstances upon an Investor’s assets securing the payment of Subordinated Claims, including, but not limited to, any liens or security interests on an Investor’s Interest shall be and remain inferior and subordinate in right of payment and of security to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon an Investor’s assets securing such Investor’s obligations and liabilities to Lenders pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents executed by such Investor,

81

regardless of whether such encumbrances are in favor of the Loan Parties, or Lenders and presently exist or are hereafter created or attached. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, during any period in which this Section 5.05 is applicable, the Loan Parties shall not: (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s, corporate or partnership right it may have against an Investor to collect any Subordinated Claims; (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief, or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interest, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of such Investor held by any Loan Party to collect any Subordinated Claim; or (iii) exercise any rights or remedies against an Investor under the Organizational Documents of the Loan Parties to collect on any Subordinated Claims; provided that any action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders in any Loan Party’s name, or any action taken by the Loan Parties under any Loan Document or to comply with any Loan Document shall not be a violation of this Section 5.

SECTION 6. GUARANTY

6.01 Borrowers’ Guarantees.

(a) The Guarantees. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Lender, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to each Subsidiary Borrower that is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Guarantor, respectively, the Subsidiary Notes held by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, the Obligations of each of the Subsidiary Borrowers owed to the Lenders, and all obligations or claims with respect to such Loans or Subsidiary Notes related to or resulting from a bankruptcy of any of the Subsidiary Borrowers, insolvency of any of the Subsidiary Borrowers or other laws or regulations of general application relating to the enforcement of the Lenders’ respective rights against the Subsidiary Borrowers and all other respective Obligations of any of the Subsidiary Borrowers and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent by the respective Subsidiary Borrowers under this Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Notes and any of the other Loan Documents, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof without set off or counterclaim (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that if any of its respective Subsidiary Borrowers shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor, respectively, will promptly (or within fifteen (15) Business Days if Guarantor is required to issue a Call Notice for such amount) pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. The guaranty of each Guarantor as set forth in this Section 6.01 is a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection.

82

(b) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 6.01 are absolute and unconditional, and each waives any defenses it may have arising out of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of Subsidiary Borrowers under this Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 6.01(b) that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of each Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Credit Agreement or the Subsidiary Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of any Subsidiary Borrower;

(iv) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Credit Agreement or the Subsidiary Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(vi) the full or partial release of a Subsidiary Borrower or any other obligor;

(vii) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected;

(viii) the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including, without limitation, negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of the Collateral or any other collateral, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations;

83

(ix) the failure of Administrative Agent to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness or reasonable care in the preservation, enforcement or sale of any such Collateral; or

(x) any other act or omission of Administrative Agent or any Subsidiary Borrower which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense in favor of the Guarantors.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever (including, without limitation, the extension of credit by Lenders to any Subsidiary Borrower, the occurrence of any breach or default by any Subsidiary Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the sale or foreclosure on the Collateral or any other collateral, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations), and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Subsidiary Borrower under this Credit Agreement or the Subsidiary Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 6.01(a) hereof shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of a Subsidiary Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and Guarantors agree that they will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees of outside counsel) reasonably incurred by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with such rescission or restoration with respect to an applicable Subsidiary Borrower, including any such costs and expenses reasonably incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(d) Subrogation. The Guarantors hereby agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 6.01(a) hereof, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Subsidiary Borrower.

(e) Remedies. The Guarantors agree that, as between the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers under this Credit Agreement, and the Subsidiary Notes may be declared to be forthwith due and payable in accordance with Section 11 hereof (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11 hereof) for purposes of Section 6.01(a) hereof notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any such Subsidiary Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by such Subsidiary Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the applicable Guarantor for purposes of Section 6.01(a) hereof.

84

(f) Continuing Guarantees. The guarantees in Section 6.01 hereof are continuing guarantees (the “Guarantees”), and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

6.02 Instruments for the Payment of Money. Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in Section 6.01 hereof constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by a Guarantor in the payment of any money due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motions and/or actions under New York CPLR Section 3213.

With respect to any proposed amendment, modification or change to any Organizational Document of any Loan Party, any Subscription Agreement, or proposed terms of any side letter, as the case may be, the applicable Loan Party shall notify Administrative Agent of such proposal. Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion (that is, the determination of the other Lenders shall not be required) on Administrative Agent’s good faith belief, whether such proposed amendment, modification or change to such Organizational Document or any Subscription Agreement or the proposed terms of any side letter, as the case may be, is a material amendment within five (5) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification pursuant to Section 13.07 hereof, and shall promptly notify such Loan Party of its determination. If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is a material amendment, the approval of the Required Lenders will be required (unless the approval of all Lenders is required consistent with the terms hereof), and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders in writing of such request for such approval (and requesting the approval of the Lenders within fourteen (14) days of such written notice), distributing, as appropriate, the proposed amendment or the proposed side letter and any other relevant information provided by such Loan Party.

The Borrowers and Feeder Funds may admit additional Investors and Investors may Transfer their Interest, including its Capital Commitments, without the approval of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (subject to any required mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.01(e) hereof (after giving effect to such contemplated Transfer)).

(i) If an Included Investor Transfers (by assignment or otherwise) its Capital Commitments to existing or new Investors that do not qualify as Included Investors, the portion of the Capital Commitment which is the subject of such Transfer shall be excluded from the calculation of the Available Commitment until the Administrative Agent has approved such Transfer for the purposes of inclusion in the Available Commitment (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(ii) No consent of Administrative Agent or Lenders shall be required for any Transfer of an Interest, including Capital Commitments, by an Included Investor in the event of a Transfer: (1) to an existing or new Investor that qualifies as an Included Investor; (2) to one or more of such Included Investor’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, so long as the Transferor provides a guarantee of the Capital Contribution obligations of the Transferee; (3) to a successor trust or trustee, or where the Transferee qualifies as an Included Investor; or (4) by virtue of a merger, reorganization or other business combination, where the surviving entity Transferee qualifies as an Included Investor.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Included Investor proposes to transfer its Capital Commitments to an Investor who would not qualify as an Included Investor pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Borrowers must make any required mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.01(e) hereof (after giving effect to such contemplated Transfer) prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer.

(iv) Together with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Section 9.01(a)(i) and Section 9.01(a)(ii), Borrower Representative shall deliver an updated Exhibit A-1 identifying any such Transfers in the preceding fiscal quarter.

(b) Negative Pledge on General Partner’s Interest. Without the approval of the Required Lenders, General Partner will not pledge or otherwise grant a security interest or lien on its Interest in any Feeder Fund (other than in favor of the Lenders) other than Permitted Liens.

(c) Redemption of Interest; Withdrawal of Investors.

Without the consent of all Lenders, no Borrower or Feeder Fund will redeem (whether completely or partially) the Interest or permit the withdrawal or redemption, as applicable, of an Included Investor in a Borrower or Feeder Fund, unless such withdrawal or redemption: is required to keep such Borrower in compliance with Sections 8.13 and 10.07 hereof or in accordance with the terms of its Organizational Documents, and is made in accordance with this Credit Agreement (which will be subject to consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). In the event that

108

(i) the Interest of an Included Investor will be redeemed (whether completely or partially) and will not be Transferred to an existing Included Investor or

(ii) an Included Investor is permitted hereunder to withdraw or redeem its interest from a Borrower or Feeder Fund, Borrower Representative shall:

(A) make the calculations described in Section 2.01(e) hereof prior to such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, but taking into consideration the Remaining Capital Commitments of the applicable Included Investor as if such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, has occurred;

(B) deliver to Administrative Agent a revised Exhibit A-1 to this Credit Agreement containing the name and address of each applicable Investor and its Capital Commitment and Remaining Capital Commitment taking into consideration the Remaining Capital Commitments of such Included Investor as if such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, has occurred and certifying the accuracy of the information contained in such revised Exhibit A-1; and

To the extent such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, would cause a mandatory prepayment event under Section 2.01(e) hereof, prior to the effectiveness of any such redemption or withdrawal, as applicable, make a Capital Demand on the applicable Investors, including the Investor that is being redeemed or that is permitted to withdraw from Borrower, in an amount necessary to make such mandatory prepayments (including, without limitation, any amounts required under Section 3.03(a) hereof).

(d) Documentation Requirements. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Borrower and General Partner shall deliver:

(i) with respect to any Person admitted as a substitute or new Included Investor (whether due to a Transfer by an existing Investor or otherwise) (a “Subsequent Investor”), as a condition to its admission as an Included Investor, a duly executed copy of the Subscription Agreement of such Investor; and

(ii) with respect any existing Included Investor that is a Transferee from another Investor, a copy of such transfer documents.

(e) Funding Requirements. Prior to the effectiveness of any Transfer of its Interest in a Borrower or Feeder Fund by an Included Investor, Borrower Representative shall calculate whether, taking into account the Capital Commitments and Remaining Capital Commitments of the Included Investors as if such Transfer had occurred, the Transfer would cause the Principal Obligation to exceed the Available Commitment, and shall make any necessary prepayments under Section 2.01(e) hereof prior to permitting such Transfer.

109

None of the Borrowers, Feeder Funds or General Partner shall: (a) consent to the reduction, suspension, abatement, assumption, deferral, termination or cancellation of the Capital Commitment and Remaining Capital Commitment of any Investor that is not an Included Investor (except in connection with a Transfer, redemption or withdrawal as an Investor in accordance with Section 10.05 hereof) without the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (b) without the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and all Lenders (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders): (i) issue any Call Notices other than as contemplated by Section 5.02(c) hereof; (ii) except in connection with a Transfer, redemption or withdrawal as an Investor in accordance with Section 10.05 hereof, consent to the reduction, suspension, abatement, assumption, withdrawal, deferral, termination or cancellation of the Capital Commitment and Remaining Capital Commitment of any Included Investor; (iii) relieve, excuse, prohibit, delay, postpone, compromise or abate any Investor from making its Capital Contributions under any Borrower’s Organizational Documents, if the proceeds from this Capital Contribution are to be applied to the Obligations of any Borrower hereunder; or (iv) permit any Investor (other than a Feeder Fund) to make a Capital Contribution directly to the Initial Borrower, unless the Initial Borrower has pledged a Collateral Account to the Administrative Agent and executed any Collateral Account Control Agreement that the Administrative Agent may require.

10.07 ERISA Compliance. None of the Borrowers shall take any action, or omit to take any action, that would cause it to cease to qualify as a VCOC or REOC or for any other exemption from Plan Assets status under the Plan Asset Regulations or cause its underlying assets to constitute Plan Assets. Assuming that no portion of the assets used by a Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents constitute “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations or of any plan subject to similar laws, unless the applicable Lender has relied on an applicable prohibited transaction exemption (all of the conditions of which are satisfied), no Loan Party shall take any action, or omit to take any action, that would give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction that will subject the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, to any tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed under Sections 4975(c)(1)(A)-(C) of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA or applicable similar laws. No Loan Party or Controlled Group Member shall establish, maintain, or have an obligation to contribute to, or have any liability to, any Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) take any actions that will cause any Borrower to dissolve, terminate, merge or consolidate in violation of Section 10.01 hereof.

10.13 Alternative Investment Vehicles and Parallel Funds.

111

Vehicle or Parallel Fund similar to the collateral described in Section 5.01 (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) hereof, and, within thirty (30) days of the formation of such Alternative Investment Vehicle or Parallel Fund, delivered such documents, including the Organizational Documents of such Alternative Investment Vehicle or Parallel Fund, joinder agreements and legal opinions, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent;

(ii) such Borrower or General Partner has either:

(A) made a mandatory prepayment of any amount that would be required as a result of the reduction in the Remaining Capital Commitments due to funding of Capital Contributions to such Alternative Investment Vehicle or Parallel Fund, as determined by Administrative Agent, or

(B) Administrative Agent is otherwise satisfied that no mandatory prepayment will result from funding of Capital Contributions to such Alternative Investment Vehicle or Parallel Fund; or

Administrative Agent is otherwise satisfied that appropriate agreements have been effected to protect the interests of the Lenders with respect to the Collateral.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Loan Party shall make a payment in a transaction to an Affiliate that is not otherwise permitted by this Section 10.15.

112

(p) (i) the occurrence of any event that causes a dissolution, liquidation or commencement of winding up of any Loan Party or General Partner; or (ii) any breach of any applicable Organizational Document by the Borrowers or General Partner which shall continue uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice by Administrative Agent thereof and could reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) the General Partner challenges or declares unenforceable any provisions of its Organizational Documents, in each case that has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(q) any Loan Party shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as such debts become due.

11.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default. An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless cured or expressly waived in writing by Required Lenders. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of one or more Events of Defaults hereunder, (i) each Lender’s obligation to make additional Loans to Borrowers shall automatically terminate without further action by any Person and (ii) any right to call Capital Contributions and issue Call Notices shall be immediately and automatically revoked and/or terminated. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing, then Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall: (i) suspend the Commitments and/or reduce the Available Commitment to an amount equal to the amount of the Principal Obligation until such Event of Default is cured; (ii) terminate the Commitments of Lenders and any obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on, the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable (including the Letter of Credit Liability hereunder), whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind all of which each Loan Party hereby expressly waives, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (iv) require that each Loan Party Cash Collateralize its respective Letter of Credit Liability (in an amount equal to the then-outstanding amount thereof); (v) exercise any right, privilege, or power set forth in Sections 5.02 and 5.04 hereof, including, but not limited to, the initiation of Call Notices of the Remaining Capital Commitments; or (vi) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable law or agreement; provided, however, that if any Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(i) or

115

Section 11.01(j) hereof shall occur and be continuing, the principal of, and all interest on, the Obligations shall thereupon become due and payable concurrently therewith, without any further action by Administrative Agent or Lenders, or any of them, and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration, or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which each Loan Party hereby expressly waives.

11.03 Performance by Administrative Agent. Should any Loan Party or General Partner fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person. In such event, such Loan Party shall, at the request of Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to Administrative Agent at its principal office, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of any Loan Party, General Partner or any related Person hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Loan Party or General Partner or any related Person, nor by any such action shall Administrative Agent or Lenders be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Loan Party, General Partner or any related Person. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are solely to protect the Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such power. Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither any of them nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Loan Party or General Partner.

SECTION 12. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

12.01 Appointment.

(a) Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints SMBC as Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, in each case to the extent permitted under applicable Law. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or shall otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

116

(b) Release of Collateral. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in its discretion, to release any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit and payment in full of all Obligations, including all fees and indemnified costs and expense that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the applicable Loan Documents.

12.02 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by Administrative Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, nor shall it be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such Persons.

12.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law;

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and

(d) Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.02 and 13.01 hereof); or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless and until notice describing the same is given to Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer.

117

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 hereof or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent; (vi) the title of any Person to any Collateral; (vii) any defect or failure in the title of any Person, whether that defect or failure was known to the Administrative Agent or might have been discovered upon examination or inquiry and whether capable of remedy or not; or (viii) the provision of notice of the Collateral being given to any third party or otherwise perfecting or registering the security created by the Collateral.

12.04 Reliance on Communications.

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

(b) Each Loan Party and General Partner shall be entitled to rely upon, and to act or refrain from acting on the basis of, any notice, statement, certificate, waiver or other document or instrument delivered by Administrative Agent to a Loan Party or General Partner, as applicable, so long as Administrative Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and none of the Loan Parties or General Partner shall be responsible or liable to Administrative Agent or any Lender (or to any Participant or to any Assignee), or as a result of any action or failure to act (including actions or omissions which would otherwise constitute defaults hereunder) which is based upon such reliance upon Administrative Agent. Each of the Loan Parties and General Partner shall be entitled to treat Administrative Agent as the properly authorized Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement until Borrower Representative shall have received notice of resignation, and such Persons shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Administrative Agent until Borrower Representative shall have received written notification reasonably satisfactory to it of the appointment of such successor.

118

12.05 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder (other than Section 11.01(a) hereof) unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or any Borrower Party referring to this Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders to the extent permitted under applicable Laws.

12.06 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished by any Borrower Party to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, which the Administrative Agent must distribute promptly to the other Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

12.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,

119

damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 12.07 shall survive the payment of the Obligations.

12.08 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers and any other Borrower Party as though Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made with it, the Letters of Credit issued by it and all obligations owing to it, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights, powers and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

12.09 Successor Agent. Administrative Agent may, subject to the consent of Borrower Representative (which consent may be withheld in Borrower Representative’s reasonable discretion but shall not be required when a Default or Event of Default exists), resign upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lenders and Borrower Representative. If, in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders (subject, except when an Event of Default exists, to the consent of Borrower Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld), and any such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Credit Agreement or any of the holder of the Loans and Notes. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may appoint an Administrative Agent (subject, except when an Event of Default exists, to the consent of Borrower Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld); provided such successor is an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and shall assume the

120

duties and obligations of such retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 12.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

12.10 Resignation of Letter of Credit Issuer. The Letter of Credit Issuer may, subject to the consent of Borrowers (which consent may be withheld in Borrower Representative’s reasonable discretion but shall not be required when a Default or Event of Default exists), resign at any time and any resignation by SMBC as Administrative Agent hereunder in accordance with Section 12.09 shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer. In the event of any such resignation, Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (subject, except when an Event of Default exists, to the consent of Borrower Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that no failure by Lenders to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of SMBC as Letter of Credit Issuer. If SMBC resigns as Letter of Credit Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit Liability with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to fund payment of any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit issued by SMBC as Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) hereof). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder: (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer; (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

12.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Liability 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, the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 hereof and otherwise hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

121

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

(c) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent hereunder.

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

12.12 Other Agents; Arrangers and Manager. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Credit Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “co-lead arranger” or “book manager” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Credit Agreement other than, in the case of such Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Credit Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.01 Amendments. Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed, with respect to this Credit Agreement, by Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties and General Partner, on the other hand; provided that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of:

123

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above and in Section 10 hereof: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow any Borrower Party or General Partner to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (3) Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to the modification or waiver of any of the other terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any action or failure to act by any Loan Party, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative nature.

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

13.02 Sharing of Offsets. Each Lender and Administrative Agent agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of any right of counterclaim, offset, banker’s lien or otherwise, receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to such Lender hereunder which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender hereunder, under any Loan Document or its Note than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to such other Lender’s Note or the Obligations to such Lender under this Credit Agreement or under any Loan Document, then such Lender shall purchase participations in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement or under any Loan Document held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, any Loan Document, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder held by Lenders shall be made in accordance with Section 13.04 hereof (determined as of the date of such receipt and regardless of any change in any Lender’s Commitment caused by such Lender’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder).

13.03 Sharing of Collateral. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Lender and Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, agrees that if it shall, through the receipt of any proceeds from a Capital Demand or the exercise of any remedies under any Collateral Documents, receive or be entitled to receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to it hereunder or under any Loan Document which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender hereunder, under any Loan Document or its Note than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to any other Lender’s Note or the Obligations to such Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document, then, in accordance with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 13.04 hereof, such Lender or Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase participations in the Obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, any Loan Document, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder held by Lenders shall be made in accordance with Section 13.04 hereof (determined as of the date of such receipt and regardless of any change

124

in any Lender’s Commitment caused by such Lender’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder). Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to coordinate and implement the sharing of Collateral contemplated by this Section 13.03 prior to the distribution of proceeds from Capital Demands or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents prior to making any distributions of such proceeds to each Lender or Administrative Agent, in their respective capacity as Lenders.

13.04 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

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

13.06 Payment of Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Borrowers agree jointly and severally to pay within fifteen (15) Business Days of receiving a bill from Administrative Agent:

(i) all of the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (including without limitation the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of (x) one primary outside U.S. legal counsel and (y) one Cayman Islands legal counsel) reasonably incurred by it, in connection with:

125

(A) the development, negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith (as well as the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby),

(B) any and all amendments, modifications and supplements thereof or thereto, and

(C) all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral under this Credit Agreement;

(ii) all of the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Lender (including without limitation the fees and expenses of outside legal counsel) reasonably incurred by such Lender, in connection with all amendments, modifications and supplements to this Credit Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, which amendments, modifications or supplements arise from or otherwise relate to any Default or Event of Default; and

(iii) in the event that an Event of Default exists, all documented out of pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, reasonably incurred by them in connection with the presentation and enforcement of rights of the Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuer under the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Loan Party shall be required to reimburse the Administrative Agent in connection with any fee paid to syndicate members in connection with any syndication of the Commitments, nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to pay any brokerage fee or commission arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Borrowers agree jointly and severally to indemnify Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuer and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, advisors and agents (each such Person, including, without limitation, Administrative Agent and each of Lenders, being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, actions, judgments, suits, disbursements, penalties, damages (other than punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages), liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of:

(i) the execution, delivery or performance of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby,

126

(ii) the use or misuse of any of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit,

(iii) the fraudulent actions or intentional misrepresentations of any Loan Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents,

(iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or administrative or judicial proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or the Organizational Documents, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or

(v) the grant to the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the Lien in the Collateral and the exercise by the Administrative Agreement or any Lender of its rights and remedies under any agreements creating any such Lien;

provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to any such losses, claims, actions, judgments, suits, disbursements, penalties, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (B) if such Indemnitee is a party other than Administrative Agent and Agent-Related Persons and such liability does not involve an act or omission of any Borrower Party and is brought by another Indemnitee against such Indemnitee, or (C) arising out of any settlement entered into without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrowers, the Borrowers’ equity holders or creditors and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Borrowers also agree jointly and severally to reimburse an Indemnitee as and when billed by such Indemnitee for all such Indemnitee’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnitee’s rights under this Credit Agreement, Notes, any other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its counsel. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Borrowers also agree that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Borrowers or the Borrowers’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates or to the Borrowers’ or their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct.

(c) Administrative Agent and Lenders will indemnify Loan Parties against any cost or losses actually incurred as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the disclosure or misuse of Confidential Information in violation of the confidentiality provisions in the Loan Documents.

127

(d) WITHOUT LIMITATION OF AND SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, BORROWERS INTEND AND AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNITEE WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL) WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY SUCH OR ANY OTHER INDEMNITEE OR ANY STRICT LIABILITY OR CLAIMS OF STRICT LIABILITY.

(e) The provisions of this Section 13.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the Stated Maturity Date, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the occurrence of the Maturity Date, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of Lenders; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 13.06 shall terminate three (3) years following payment and performance in full of the Obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All amounts due under this Section 13.06 shall be payable promptly on written demand therefor.

13.07 Notices.

Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier or other electronic transmission as follows:

(i) If to any Loan Party, Investment Manager, General Partner, Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, at its notice address and numbers set forth in Schedule 13.07 attached hereto. Each Lender agrees to provide to Administrative Agent a written notice stating such Lender’s address, facsimile number, telephone number, and the name of a contact person, and Administrative Agent may rely on such written notice unless and until a Lender provides Administrative Agent with a written notice designating a different address, facsimile number, telephone number or contact person.

(ii) Any party may change its address for purposes of this Credit Agreement by giving notice of such change to the other parties pursuant to this Section 13.07. With respect to any notice received by Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, Investment Manager or General Partner not otherwise addressed herein, Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly of the receipt of such notice, and shall provide copies thereof to Lenders. When determining the prior day’s notice required for any request for credit extension or other notice to be provided by any Loan Party, Investment Manager or General Partner hereunder, the day the notice is delivered to Administrative Agent (or such other applicable Person) shall not be counted except if specified herein, but the day of the related Loan or Letter of Credit or other relevant action shall be counted.

128

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (c) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (c).

Administrative Agent, Investment Manager, General Partner or a Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(d) Effectiveness of E-mail Notice. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes: (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient; and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

13.08 Governing Law. Pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, the substantive laws of the state of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to the choice of law principles that might otherwise apply, except to the extent the laws of another jurisdiction govern the creation, perfection, validity, or enforcement of Liens under the Collateral Documents (except, as to any other Collateral Documents, as expressly set forth therein), and the applicable federal laws of the United States of America, shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Credit Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents.

13.09 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER

(b) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ADDRESS OF A BORROWER, INVESTMENT MANAGER OR GENERAL PARTNER, AS APPLICABLE, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.07 HEREOF OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; and

(d) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

13.11 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Credit Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Credit Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Credit Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Credit Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Credit Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein. If any provision of this Credit Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Credit Agreement shall prevail.

130

13.12 Entirety and Amendments. This Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced by this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All prior or contemporaneous promises, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, are deemed to be superseded by this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding not set forth in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument describing such amendment or modification executed by the Borrower Parties that are the parties thereto and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders.

13.13 Parties Bound: Assignment.

(a) Parties Bound. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that none of the Loan Parties or General Partner may assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Lenders, and provided further that the rights of each Lender to transfer, assign or grant a participation in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in this Section 13.13.

(b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) a participating interest in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans; provided that:

(i) any such participation shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and, if in a greater amount, in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and must be of a constant, and not varying percentage of such Lender’s economic interest under this Credit Agreement;

(ii) such Participant must be an Eligible Assignee;

(iii) such Participant must deliver to Borrower Representative a fully completed Qualified Purchaser Certificate;

(iv) the sum of the then aggregate number of Lenders plus Participants may not exceed thirty (30);

(v) with respect to any Participant, Borrower Representative has not, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Qualified Purchaser Certificate executed by such Participant, notified Administrative Agent in writing that Borrower Representative in good faith believes that such Participant is not a Qualified Purchaser;

(vi) prior to such grant, such Lender obtains the written consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrowers (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and which consent of Borrowers shall not be required (A) if an Event of Default exists under Section 11.01(a), 11.01(b), 11.01(i), or 11.01(j) hereunder, (B) if any other Event of Default exists and has not been cured or waived within 30 days, or (C) in the case of the sale of a participation to an Affiliate of such Lender (provided that a Lender’s sale to an Affiliate of such Lender which Affiliate is a Competitor shall be subject to the written consent of the Borrowers) or to a Federal Reserve Bank);

131

(vii) In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower Representative, Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.04(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the Obligations including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement. The voting rights of each Participant shall be limited to (x) reductions or increases in the amount, or altering the term, of the Commitment of such Participant; (y) changes to the Maturity Date, interest rate(s), fees, scheduled payment dates, or the application of payments as provided in this Credit Agreement; and (z) changes to the definition of Required Lenders. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4 hereof with respect to its participating interest; provided, however, in no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay to such Participant amounts greater than those Borrowers would have been required to pay to the granting Lender in the absence of such participation. In the event that a Lender sells participations in its Loans, such Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent solely for the purpose set forth in this Section 13.13(b) on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of all Participants in such Lender’s Loans, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of each Participant’s participation in such Loans from time to time (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. A Lender’s Loan (and such Lender’s Note, if any evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Any participation of such Loan (and the applicable Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Each Participant Register and copies of documentation evidencing each participation shall be available for inspection by Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

132

(c) Assignments. Any Lender may and, following a demand by Borrower Representative (following a claim or demand by such Lender for payment of any amount under Section 4.01 or 4.04 hereof) shall, at any time assign to one or more Persons (an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and its Note (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; provided, however, that:

(i) such Assignee must be an Eligible Assignee;

(ii) this Section 13.13(c) shall not restrict an assignment or any Lender from pledging a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release the assigning Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto;

(iii) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Loans at the time owing to it, or the assignment of all of such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, to another Lender, any assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and, if in a greater amount, in integral multiples of $1,000,000, and in no event shall assigning Lender’s Commitment be less than $5,000,000 upon giving effect to such assignment;

(iv) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower Representative (to the extent required hereunder) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee);

(v) if the assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof;

(vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the Assignee shall pay to the assigning Lender an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such assigning Lender and such Assignee;

(vii) each assignment made as a result of a demand by Borrower Representative shall be arranged by Borrower Representative after consultation with Administrative Agent and shall be an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Credit Agreement;

133

(viii) such Assignee must deliver to Borrower Representative a fully completed Qualified Purchaser Certificate;

(ix) the sum of the then aggregate number of Lenders plus Participants may not exceed thirty (30);

(x) with respect to any Assignee, Borrower Representative has not, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the fully completed Qualified Purchaser Certificate executed by such Assignee, notified Administrative Agent in writing that Borrower Representative in good faith believes that such Assignee is not a Qualified Purchaser;

(xi) prior to such assignment, such Lender obtains the written consent of the Administrative Agent and Borrowers (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and which consent of Borrowers, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be required under any clause of Section 13.13(c) (A) if an Event of Default exists under Section 11.01(a), 11.01(b), 11.01(i), or 11.01(j) hereunder, (B) if any other Event of Default exists and has not been cured or waived within 30 days, or (C) in the case of the assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender (provided that a Lender’s sale to an Affiliate of such Lender which Affiliate is a Competitor shall be subject to the written consent of the Borrowers) or to a Federal Reserve Bank); and

(xii) the assigning Lender shall pay a fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent.

Any assignment by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.13(c) shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.13(b) hereof so long as the terms of Section 13.13(b) hereof have been satisfied. Otherwise, such assignment shall be null and void.

(d) Consequences of Assignment. From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment by such Assignee to such assignor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee provided that the parties have complied with Section 13.13(c) above, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment/Loans as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the assignor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all of the obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 4 hereof with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to Section 13.13(c) hereof, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to such Assignee and the transferor Lender.

134

(e) Disclosure of Information. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Loan Party, General Partner or any Investor in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 13.20 hereof.

(f) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Letter of Credit Liability owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Loan Party, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance 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.

13.14 Lender Default. If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations hereunder, and such Lender shall not have cured such failure within five (5) Business Days of its occurrence (a “Lender Default”), then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, Lenders, or Borrowers at law or in equity, such Lender’s right to vote on matters related to this Credit Agreement, and to participate in the administration of the Loans, the Letters of Credit and this Credit Agreement, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire, or to arrange to have such other Eligible Assignee to acquire, at par all of such Lender’s Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement. In the event that Administrative Agent does not exercise its right to so acquire all of such Lender’s interests, then each Lender that is not in Default (a “Current Party”) shall then, thereupon, have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to acquire at par (or if more than one Current Party exercises such right, each Current Party shall have the right to acquire, pro rata) such Lender’s Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the outstanding Obligations under this Credit Agreement.

135

13.15 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.01 or Section 4.04 hereof, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04 hereof, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.05(c), then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice by Borrower Representative to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.13 hereof), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04) and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

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

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.03 hereof) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.01 or Section 4.04 hereof or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.04 hereof, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

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

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

13.16 Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, Lenders shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrowers. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of this Credit Agreement so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full

136

contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lenders shall refund to Borrowers the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Lenders shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate.

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

13.18 Survival. The obligations of Borrowers under Section 4.01 and 13.06 hereof shall survive the repayment of Loans or the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Credit Agreement. In addition, each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by a Request for Borrowing or a Request for Letter of Credit, herein or pursuant hereto, shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer nor any Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan or issuing any Letter of Credit, any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading at the time made, notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such Loan was made or such Letter of Credit was issued.

13.19 Limited Liability of Investors, Investment Manager . Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in the Loan Documents and except with respect to any losses arising from (a) the Borrowers’ intentional misrepresentation hereunder, fraud, or willful misapplication of proceeds in contravention of this Credit Agreement, for which there shall be full recourse to the applicable Borrower (but not to any of such Borrower’s Investors), and (b) Investment Manager’s intentional misrepresentation hereunder, fraud, or willful misapplication of proceeds in contravention of this Credit Agreement, for which there shall be full recourse to Investment Manager, none of the Investors, Investment Manager nor General Partner, nor any manager, principal, shareholder, member, officer, employee, director, advisor of Investment Manager shall have any personal, partnership, corporate or trust liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Section 13.19 or in any of the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed to limit, restrict, or impede the obligations, the liabilities, and indebtedness of the Loan Parties, or of any Investor to make its Capital Contributions to the applicable Loan Party, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Organizational Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 13.19, the payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to each Borrower and its respective properties and assets.

13.20 Availability of Records; Confidentiality. Each of the Loan Parties and General Partner acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent may provide to Lenders, and that Administrative Agent and each Lender may provide to any Participant or Assignee or proposed Participant or Assignee, originals or copies of this Credit Agreement, all Loan Documents and all other documents, certificates, opinions, letters of credit, reports, and other material information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and General Partner, any Investor or received by any of Administrative Agent or a Lender in connection with the Loans, the Letter of Credit Liability or the Commitments of Lenders; provided, however, that, prior to any such delivery or

137

communication, the Lender, Participant, or Assignee, as the case may be, shall have agreed in writing to (a) preserve the confidentiality of all data and information which constitutes Confidential Information and (b) use such information only in connection with the Loans, and such agreement shall provide that Borrowers shall have the right to rely thereon and enforce such agreement. Borrowers, General Partner, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders:

(a) acknowledge and agree that:

(i) the identities of the Investors, any structural or financial information delivered by the Investors, the amounts of their respective Capital Commitments and Remaining Capital Commitments and details regarding their investments under the Organizational Documents and any other information regarding the Investors or the terms of their investment in any of the Borrowers (including the terms of, and information contained in, their Subscription Agreements and side letters) (collectively, the “Investor Information”) have been and will be delivered on a confidential basis; and

(ii) information with respect to Investments has been and will be delivered on a confidential basis;

(b) acknowledge and agree that such Investor Information and information with respect to Investments are Confidential Information; and

(c) agree that such Investor Information and information with respect to Investments shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.20.

139

13.24 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer) hereby notifies Borrowers and General Partner that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001))(the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers.

SECTION 14. MULTIPLE OBLIGOR

14.01 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants the following:

(a) Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by each Borrower that each Borrower desires that the obligations under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as joint and several obligations of each Borrower, should the Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

140

(b) Liability. The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities. The Borrowers’ respective Loans and Obligations shall constitute the joint and several obligation of each Borrower.

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

14.02 Waivers.

(a) Waivers of Rights and Defenses. Each Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent to (i) proceed against any particular Borrowers, any particular Collateral, or in any particular order of realization, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral, or (iii) pursue any other right or remedy. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may proceed against each or any Borrower with respect to the obligations of such Borrower under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents without taking any actions against any other Borrower(s) and without proceeding against or exhausting any other Collateral. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may unqualifiedly exercise (or refrain from exercising) in its sole discretion any or all rights and remedies available to it against any Borrower without impairing the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies in enforcing the obligations of any Borrower under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, under which every Borrower’s liabilities shall remain independent and unconditional. Each Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s exercise of certain of such rights or remedies may affect or eliminate such Borrower’s right of subrogation or recovery (if any) against any or all of the other Borrowers and that such Borrower may incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability in performing its obligations under the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of any other waivers in this Credit Agreement, each Borrower expressly waives any statutory or other right that such Borrower might otherwise have to require the Administrative Agent to exhaust the Collateral held with respect to the other Loan Parties before the Administrative Agent may proceed against the Collateral owned by such Borrower.

141

(b) Additional Waivers. Each Borrower waives diligence and all demands, protest, presentments and notices of every kind or nature except notices of default, notices to cure and notices that, in any of the foregoing cases, are either required by law or by the Loan Documents, including notices of protest, dishonor, nonpayment, acceptance of the obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any such obligations. No failure or delay on the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s part in exercising any power, right or privilege under the Loan Documents shall impair or waive any such power, right or privilege.

14.03 Full Knowledge. Each Borrower acknowledges, represents and warrants that such Borrower has had a full and adequate opportunity to review the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated therein and all underlying facts relating to such transactions. Each Borrower represents and warrants that such Borrower fully understands: (a) the remedies the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may pursue against such Borrower and each other Borrower in the event of a default under the Loan Documents, (b) the value (if any) of any Collateral, and (c) such Borrower’s and each other Borrower’s financial condition and ability to perform under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees to keep itself fully informed regarding all aspects of such Borrower’s and each other Borrower’s financial condition and the performance of such Borrower’s and each other Borrower’s obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any duty, whether now or in the future, to disclose to any Borrower any information pertaining to such Borrower, any Collateral or any other Borrower.

14.04 Deferral of Reimbursement. Each Borrower waives any right to be reimbursed by any other Borrower for any payment(s) made by such Borrower or from such Borrower’s property on account of the obligations of such other Borrower under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless and until all such obligations under the Loan Documents then required to be performed have been paid and performed (as applicable) in full. Each Borrower acknowledges that such Borrower has received adequate consideration for execution of the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party by virtue of Lenders’ making the Loans (which benefit each and every Borrower). No Borrower requires or expects, and no Borrower is entitled to, any other right of reimbursement against any other Borrower as consideration for entering into the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party.

14.05 Lenders’ Disgorgement of Payments. Upon payment of all or any portion of the Loans, every Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall continue and remain in full force and effect if all or any part of such payment is, pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise, avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a preference, fraudulent or otherwise, irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by such Borrower prior to such avoidance or recovery, or (b) payment in full of the Loans. Each Borrower’s liability under the Loan Documents shall continue until all periods have expired within which the Administrative Agent or Lenders could (on account of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, whether or not then pending, affecting any Borrower or any other person) be required to return or repay any amount paid at any time on account of the Loans. If, in any such proceeding, any party seeks to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disgorge or repay any payments previously made by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or Lender, then all Borrowers shall jointly and severally be obligated to pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender, within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor, an amount equal to the amount adjudicated to be disgorged or repaid.
